Chapter 454 103.4 - Training and Guides

I reached the end of the hall, where the entrance to the Gravity Room awaited. This was a place designed to push trainees to their physical limits by increasing the gravitational force, simulating extreme conditions to enhance strength and endurance.

I had trained in the Academy's Gravity Room, where I had worked up to enduring 3x gravity. However, this time, I decided to challenge myself further.

Stepping into the Gravity Room, I took a deep breath. The room was sterile and plain, with reinforced walls and a control panel near the entrance. I walked over to the control panel and adjusted the settings, setting it to 4x gravity.

As the gravity increased, I immediately felt the weight pressing down on me. Every movement became more difficult, and the strain on my muscles was intense. But this was exactly what I needed.

I started with basic exercises, pushing my body to adapt, and followed that with the more complex ones. It was a classic routine for me, as I had practiced my body movements under gravity.

As I continued, I integrated combat drills into my routine. Shadowboxing under 4x gravity was a completely different experience.

Every punch and kick required immense effort, and my movements were slower and more deliberate. But this forced me to focus on precision and control, refining my techniques.

Then, as I was in the middle of a particularly grueling set, the door to the Gravity Room opened. I paused, glancing over to see who had entered.

A man stepped inside, his presence commanding attention. He was around 21 or 22, with a chiseled body and a physique that spoke of intense training and discipline. His hair was dark and cut short, framing a face that was both rugged and sharp. His eyes were a striking blue, with a piercing intensity that seemed to see everything at once.

'Military presence, but not a regular fighter. It is a little different.' He nodded at me, acknowledging my presence before moving to the control panel. With practiced ease, he adjusted the settings, and I watched in surprise as the display showed 15x gravity.

He stepped into the center of the room, and the increased gravity settled over him. His movements remained smooth and controlled, a testament to his strength and experience.

I nodded to myself, thinking about how there were monsters everywhere in this place. But I didn't voice it out. After all, it didn't matter to me. I had my own goals to achieve.

"Huff….Hufff…."

And just like that, I had depleted my whole stamina, reaching the limits of my body. At this point, with the lack of nutrition and other things, I was already feeling my head spinning from everything. My muscles burned, and my breathing was labored.

At this point, it was time to end the training and grab some food.

As I left the Gravity Room and made my way towards the cafeteria, my smartwatch buzzed with a new message. I glanced down to see a message from Lyra.

[Hey Astron! Kael and I are heading to the cafeteria. We're waiting for you. Join us!]

Looking at the message, I realized that the other trainees must have also finished their daily programs and were gathering in the cafeteria. freёnovelkiss.com

The cafeteria was bustling with activity. Trainees filled the tables, chatting and laughing, a stark contrast to the solitude of the training rooms. I scanned the room and quickly spotted Lyra and Kael at a table near the center. They waved me over-enthusiastically.

"Hey, Astron!" Lyra called out, her eyes sparkling with excitement. "Come sit with us!"

I made my way to their table and sat down, but on one hand, I felt like Lyra was really similar to Julia. Whenever she spoke, it was always like an exclamation mark at the end of it.

Kael gave me a nod of acknowledgment, his usual composed expression softened with a hint of a smile.

"You look like you've been through a lot," Kael remarked, noting my exhausted state.

"Just finished a session in the Gravity Room," I replied, taking a deep breath. "Decided to push it to 4x gravity."

Lyra's eyes widened. "Wow, 4x? That's impressive! How do you feel?"

"Exhausted, but it's worth it," I said. "What about you two? How was your day?"

"We had a pretty standard day," Kael said, leaning back in his chair. "Some combat drills and strategy sessions. Nothing too intense."

Lyra nodded. "Yeah, today wasn't too bad."

"I am pretty curious. What is your routine for the day? How do the things work here?" I decided to ask. Even though I already got a basic grasp of the things, I still wanted to get an overall idea since my training regime had yet to be updated.

Lyra's eyes sparkled with interest at my question. "Well, since you asked, I'll give you a rundown of my routine. As you know, I specialize in illusions, so my main focus is on improving my mana control and refining my illusion techniques."

She leaned forward, her enthusiasm evident. "Every morning, I start with a session of mana control training under Instructor Lysara. She's amazing—really strict, but she knows her stuff. A lot of trainees are in those sessions, not just me. We're all working on controlling our mana flow, enhancing precision, and extending our mana reserves. It's intense but incredibly rewarding."

Kael nodded in agreement. "Instructor Lysara's sessions are tough but essential. Even those of us who don't specialize in magic benefit from her training."

Lyra continued, "After the mana control session, I have specific training scenarios designed to improve my illusions in team settings. These exercises are meant to enhance my ability to create believable and effective illusions during combat or reconnaissance missions. We work on creating distractions, misleading enemies, and providing support to our team members through visual and auditory illusions."

She paused to take a bite of her food before going on, "In the afternoon, I focus on physical training. It's not my main focus, but it's still important. I work on my agility, stamina, and basic combat skills. This part of my training is kept brief but intense to ensure I can keep up physically if needed."

Kael chimed in, "My routine is a bit different. My abilities are more physical and combat-oriented. I start my day with strength and conditioning training, focusing on enhancing my physical power and endurance. This is followed by combat drills where I practice different martial arts and weapon techniques under various instructors."

He leaned back, thoughtful. "In the afternoons, I participate in tactical strategy sessions. These are designed to improve our decision-making and leadership skills. We're given hypothetical missions and have to plan and execute strategies, often with unexpected obstacles thrown in to keep us on our toes."

Lyra nodded. "Yeah, Kael's training is more rigorous in terms of physical combat. He's a powerhouse on the battlefield."

Kael smiled slightly at the compliment. "We also have regular sparring sessions, both one-on-one and team-based. It helps to hone our skills in real-time scenarios and understand each other's strengths and weaknesses."

Listening to their routines gave me a better understanding of how things worked here. The training was tailored to each individual's abilities, ensuring everyone could maximize their potential.

"Thanks for sharing," I said, appreciating the insights. "It sounds like both of you have intense but rewarding schedules."

Lyra grinned. "It's tough, but we love it. You'll find your own rhythm soon enough. Once your training regime is updated, you'll see how everything fits together. They are really thorough in preparing the trainees for the missions, and the analysis department is always the best. "

"I see." I nodded my head as I understood how things worked in this place. It seemed there were many special trainings for special scenarios.

That made sense. From how it looked, this organization prepared the trainees for more specialized stations contrary to Hunter academies.

For most of the Hunters, the most important thing is being ready for danger whenever the time comes. Gates can open at every moment, or a villain can make an appearance. In a way, Hunter needs to be versatile, while for the organization, it seemed everyone had a role.

After finishing the meal, I returned to my room. The moment I reached it, my smartwatch vibrated, indicating a new message. I opened it and saw that my training regime had been updated.

The schedule displayed was intense:

5 A.M.: Four hours of one-on-one training with Warden Dakota as her official disciple.

9 A.M.: Two-hour break.

11 A.M.: One hour of body acrobatics training.

12 P.M.: Two hours working on developing stealth abilities and mastering the art of erasing presence with Instructor Kennet.

2 P.M.: One-hour lunch break.

3 P.M.: Training with Reina

Seeing the schedule, I couldn't help but feel a mix of excitement and apprehension. The training was rigorous and demanding, but it was also exactly what I needed to push my limits and improve.

'A whopping four-hour block with Warden Dakota…' I thought, recalling the intensity of our previous encounters. 'This is going to be intense.'

Body acrobatics and stealth training with Instructor Kennet made sense as well, given my need to improve my physical capabilities and stealth techniques.

And ending the day with Reina promised to be enlightening and challenging, especially considering her unique insights and guidance. At the end of the day, developing my eyes was one of the most important things that I needed to do for myself as well.

On the other hand, there was another thing that needed to be addressed.

Each of the lessons would have an objective, and if the objective was confirmed by the instructor, then my schedule would be updated.

This meant I had more chances of improving myself in different manners, depending on how quickly I met the objectives.

'The faster you are, the more resources you are going to access.'

I even suspected that there were certain things that needed to be achieved before I could be sent to the missions.

'And I am going to do exactly that.'

It seemed I had a new goal now. Being able to meet the requirements of being sent to missions in two weeks.

********

And the next day, I stood face to face with the woman that had become my master.

"Disciple, you are here.
