Time passed quickly as the students listened to Hank’s lecture. It was supposed to be a difficult day, but many didn’t get enough of it after their evening class.
Moss had a few questions to ask Hank, but there were already too many people surrounding Hank from all sides. Moss thought it was okay since Hank was a lecturer in the training camp, and there would be other opportunities to ask him questions.
Moss was even more excited because Hank was a knight and also one of the master theorists in the country. Moreover, Moss became more confident about the future because what he heard in the lecture was proof of what his grandfather told him before leaving for Black Dragon City.
…
The night’s first half was silent when a series of urgent horns sounded. Then s voice came from the surrounding megaphones, “All participants, gather for an emergency meeting! Pack your bags in five minutes and come to the field!”
“Ah!” Mill covered her mouth with her slender hands. “Oh, man! I didn’t even get to sleep!”
Although reluctant, she still jumped out of bed. However, she had an advantage when getting dressed because she never changed into her pajamas.
“Hurry up, you guys. A minute has already gone by!” Mill picked up her already packed bag and poked her four teammates.
“Stop shaking me. You’re going to make me dizzy if you keep doing that!” Alan kept complaining while putting on his clothes.
“Thanks, Mill!” Bass quickly rechecked his bag and thanked Mill.
“We only have two minutes left, Alan. Put on your pants while you run!” Moss picked up Alan’s back and ran out of the dorm room.
The Guardians were barely on time. When Moss entered the ranks and saw Alan and his teammates disheveled, he laughed out loud.
Exactly five minutes after the horns boomed, Kevin’s voice sounded, “First off, I have good news for everyone. There are only 812 people left in the training camp. After Flying Wolf and Red Spider’s speeches during the opening ceremony, five participants left the training camp. That means you have five fewer competitors. Those people were not worthy of competing with you.
“We will explain to their schools why those students voluntarily quit. Some may not be fated to fight on the front lines and protect humankind. However, that may not be a bad thing for them.”
Kevin sneered, his words harsher as he continued, “Some of you will take the initiative to leave, but I do not want to see it during my class! I can accept it if you get eliminated, but I will not allow you to give up!”
“Don’t give up, guys!”
No one knew who shouted that, but a few followed suit. Ninety people shouting in unison in the middle of the night was shocking.
Kevin’s class was still packed, so he remained arrogant. “You must do a ten-kilometer weighted ankles run, three hundred push-ups, half an hour of weighted-plates planking, and half an hour of weighted ankles knee-highs. Whoever finishes their sets can return to their dorms to sleep. I will punish all of you if someone slacks off! Any questions?!”
“No, sir!” The students thundered.
“Hurry up! Do you want to be here until dawn?!” Kevin adjusted his beret as he shouted.
Only then did the students react and immediately rush to the field.
…
After some struggle, the students who had completed their sets dragged their tired selves to their beloved beds. There was no more talk after that.
Early the following day, Kevin was in the field wearing a camouflage uniform and beret. He stood before the students of classes B22, 23, and 24 like a God. His inviolable deterrence made the students shiver.
“In the coming days, you will only suffer increasingly greater pains. My greatest pleasure is seeing the pain on the faces of rookies! The more you suffer, the happier I will be.”

Kevin pointed at the screen behind him as he spoke. Then he shouted, “That is a dynamic ranking display. It will change daily. You can also track it on the watches around your wrists. If you do not wish to fail, remember one thing—train as if your life depended on it!
“I want to emphasize one more point. There is no distinction between men and women in the training camp. There are only the strong and the weak. Only the strong will survive while the weak… Well, we have no use for the weak. As I said, I can accept if you get eliminated, but I will not allow you to quit!”
Following that, Kevin gave his instructions for today’s mission, causing a commotion among the students.
“That’s insane!”
“He’s trying to torture us to death!”
“Does he think we’re Superman or something?!”
Although the participants mentally prepared themselves for whatever came their way, they felt their training was outrageous. The thought last night was outrageous enough, but the previous night was just an appetizer, and today was the main course.
The horn sounded, and the participants carried large logs as thick as a pillar on their shoulders under the scorching sun. They also flipped enormous tires taller than themselves, crawled in the mud, and endured water pressure from a fire hydrant on their bodies.
After several rounds of torture, some with weaker physiques even fainted during their afternoon training. If the ones who fainted were sophomores, the seniors would ridicule them.
Meanwhile, Mark and his team continued to ridicule Moss and the Guardians. Similarly, in the other classes, it was common for third-year students to despise the sophomores.
“Just give up now, idi*ts.”
“You’ll get eliminated sooner or later, so why are you being so cruel to yourselves?”
“Go home, White Deer High brats!”
“Look at your fat a*s, Alan. It’s obvious you don’t get enough exercise. I think you will be the next one to faint!”
It would appear that the next one to faint was indeed one of the Guardians. However, it wasn’t Alan but Baylon.
When Baylon fell to the ground, Moss immediately went to help him up, but for that, he got sprayed down by the fire hydrant.
“Sorry, Captain. I was the one who dragged you down.” After getting sprayed, Baylon felt refreshed but embarrassed.
“It’s all right. I wanted to get sprayed anyway. Don’t take it to heart. You can do this!” Moss encouraged Baylon and continued to carry his wooden log forward.
Then Moss glanced at Mill from the corner of his eye and saw she was still holding her own. She never wavered, which made Moss admire her.

Moss looked at the mysterious boy, Ribery, and couldn’t help but feel shocked. He hadn’t seen a lick of tiredness from Ribery.
‘Isn’t he exhausted?!’
Then Moss switched his attention to Mark. Although Mark was sweating, he seemed to be in a better condition than Moss. He thought the people from Black Dragon City were impressive.
Beep! Beep!
After a few hurried whistles, Kevin finally spoke, “All right, assemble! Strength test, now!”
