Three months of hellish training
Reigner woke up four hours later.
The scream of Nightmare could wake him up better than the alarm! He opened his eyes with pissed off expression, then cursed inwardly before raising his body... The wounds still hurt him and a lot of bruises could be seen even in the darkness.
Ignoring the pain and stinging wounds, Reigner silently stood up. Only then, he realized that the room of his is welcomed by two young men and one lady. She was at least twenty years old, but the wound on her face told Reigner that she had gone through the same training.
Meaning that there was a field specially prepared for women.
Either way, he ignored that and slowly stopped outside. He was vigilant and knowing that the soldiers are roaming through the barracks, Reigner could only work with Nightmare right now. This man used a little of the gathered element and formed the white eye.
The white eye instantly closed as it was shining even in the darkness.
"You are Nightmare but you can not even hide your own presence in the darkness?"
[Where do you see 'darkness' in the nightmare, you fucking brat!]
How couldn't Reigner be not annoyed by the nightmare? The initial plan was to move beneath the darkness and moon to gather some nightmare points, but the first training and that bitch Unni was too much for the first day.
He wanted to sleep, but Nightmare kept speaking about the promise and even threatened to use his influence to give nightmare for Reigner... What kind of punishment would Reigner get for screaming in the middle of the night?
Surely, that bitch Unni would brightly give Reigner a nice punishment.
There were a lot of turns in the barracks. Reigner headed to the first floor, then hiding himself close to the room next to the stairs, he allowed Nightmare to do his stuff and patiently waited for the first screams.
"Ahhhhhhhhhh!"
"Ughhhhhhhhh!"
There were four screams in total. They were so damn loud that even Reigner flinched... On the first floor, there were some 'seniors' who had already survived the hellish training and even spared with 'lances'...
This is the common road for the soldiers here.
They are being trained to learn how to fight on the horses kitted out in the heavy armors. The soldiers themselves are equipped with the heavy armor, shield, and lance... This is the path that most commoners are forced to take.
Only the noble households are known to be unique including the king.
Reigner doesn't plan to follow their guides, however. There is simply no need for him and what he needs is basics... The basics of the energy flow, concept, and of course their metal ingredients that allow for such battle style.
It all boils down to his Item Creation System.
[????? Metal Armor
- ??????x
- ??????]
It was the armor of one of the soldiers that Reigner had fought. The recipe for this armor had been made when he grasped the piece of the chopped off armor... The other requirement was to fight against such armor or at least to know more about its structure or origins.
In Reigner's case, he knows shit. So he had to fight and get a piece.
Still, there were a lot of question marks, and all he knew that this is the metal armor. The question marks with 'x' close were surely the pieces of the metal, but the other requirement below was totally out from Reigner's mind.
He could create an armor, but is it what he wants? Of course, the armor is nice and good, but Reigner won't sit on the horse for sure.
"What is happening?!"
"Why are they screaming so much? For fuck's sake!"
"You fucking idiots!"
Before Reigner could immerse himself more in his thoughts, his ears twitched and his body went up by itself. He pretended to go to the first floor with pissed off expression, then shouted some curses out loud as well.
No need to hide at this point.
Soon enough, the soldiers on the patrol arrived! They barged into the closed room by kicking the door, then pummelled the screaming faces of the poor victims ruthlessly. There was no mercy at all! And it looked like the neighbors were willing to throw some punches as well!
"S-stop! Ahhhh! For-forgive me!"
"I am so-sorry! I am so sorry! Ugh!"
It was not their fault at all, but Reigner suddenly could hear the nightmare's chuckling. It was so satisfying and merry that Reigner blinked confused. He asked what is going on, then the answer stupefied him.
[Their nightmare was built upon the 'hellish training'. I just blended your emotions and feelings that were coursing through you today, then added little extra surprises. Hehehe~~]
"..."
[Today was a good hunt.]
Nightmare spoke with contentment. He was so satisfied that Reigner could imagine his monstrous form patting his belly as he sighs! This sight was quite disgusting one though...
"Information is still the key..."
And the best way to disperse such an image was to sink in one's thoughts.
-
Reigner spent three months focused on the training.
The nightmares were only possible for the first month, then the army called a special person who could sense the mental attacks and was well-versed in those. Nightmare couldn't do anything in this case as Reigner's plans were located in the army.
It was not a situation where they can just run away.
Of course, Reigner was not a that bad man.
"Fight me, Nightmare."
[Khhhhhhhhhhhhaaaaaaaa!]
"If you win, I will give you 100 points. If you lose, then I will get these on my account... but if it's a draw, then you will release that cringe cover of yours."
[Deal!]
Three months were focused on the training, but Reigner also had fought and spared with other soldiers... He was forced to learn how to wield a lance and also how to control the shield... Those were basics for now, but he had to keep going forward.
"I have to do my best here."
Reigner whispered calmly, then looked at his arms. The two arms turned into the blade arms that were swallowing up the darkness of Reigner's body! He waved those for a while, then let out the satisfying hum.
"The rookies always tell me that I swing my arms way too widely."
[KhhhhhHahahhahahah!]
"Looks like you know why."
The two reincarnations snickered, then the battle unfolded!
