After returning to his home, Theo took a shower and went straight to bed because the past two days had been tiring for him.
The next morning, he just completed his daily routine and headed to school. Because this was a special day, everyone was required to bring a weapon to the school since they would only go back after a while.
Theo had thought this through and handed both his Elite Rank Spear and Sword to his master. After all, Alea already knew about his other identity having that pair of weapons, so the least he could do was tone down his weapon.
He decided to pick up Normal Rank Iron Spear and somehow searched for a way to acquire another Elite Rank Spear. His only regret was how he didn't think of acquiring another weapon when he was on the other side yesterday.
As one would expect, the moment he arrived at the school, the gym was swarmed by people.
Theo also quickly made his way toward the gym since the principal was about to give them one last briefing about the training they needed to endure.
…
A few minutes later.
"… All in all, there are two things you need to know. First, the area around the training camp is safe, but beyond that, we won't be responsible for your death. Second, if you give up, we will gladly send someone to pick you up. That's all. For now, you should go outside and get into your own aircraft within fifteen minutes. They each have a character on it, so you should know where to go." He smiled and walked off the stage.
"…" Theo knew that this would be a disaster so he waited for a few minutes before going to the aircraft.
Outside the school, there were ten white airplanes parked.
The plane had two wings on the left and right side, but unlike the conventional airplane, each wing had a small turbine that allowed it to maneuver like a helicopter. At the same time, there were two engines that could boost their speed at any time.
These military planes were usually used to transport something big or carry many people, considering that there were enough spaces to bring two thousand people in each of them as long as they crammed the people inside.
When Theo arrived at his airplane, he saw that the cabin was divided into two floors. The second floor was filled with the seniors, so he just sat on an empty seat on the first floor without hesitation before closing his eyes. As long as he didn't talk, no one would bother him anyway.
After fifteen minutes, the plane finally took off. It rose to the sky vertically before flying toward the Teleportation Gate.
Because the procedure had been met, they were transported to the other side almost immediately and flew straight to their destination.
Unfortunately, Theo couldn't see what kind of terrain they would have before landing on the ground.
What he did as soon as he got off the plane was to check his surroundings.
As obvious as they could get, there were six tents capable of housing two hundred people at once with bunk beds. Of course, each year got two tents to separate males and females.
On the north, he could see a dense forest while on the two sides were rocky slopes, one was steeper than the other. And last but not least, he found a valley behind him, filled with swamp and grassland with a running river.
After getting a clear picture of what he needed to do, Theo found a group of people with a dark blue uniform. Although they chatted like buddies, he knew the military had strict rules, so he only thought about following orders.
As he expected, a middle-aged man with a gentle smile stepped forward before his expression turned serious, shouting. "Attention! Stop whatever you are doing and stand in front of me right now!"
People, who were familiar with the military, quickly ran, stood and straightened their backs. Theo also followed suit as soon as he saw Alea Eilric was among them.
The remaining people were still bewildered as the military instructor once again shouted. "You piece of sh*t who can't even follow an order. What the heck are you doing here? Do you think this is camping? No, this is training! If you can't follow my order once again, no need to say give up. I'm going to expel you right now with my jurisdiction even if you are from a big family."
When they heard about it, the rest of the group hurriedly followed what the first fifty people did, sweating.
"Good. I will introduce myself first. I'm Major Sam and the nine people behind me are my teammates who will train all of you here. We will help you build your body into something that can handle people from other countries.
"If you can't even do this kind of drill, just pack up your bag and go home. On the other hand, if you can do this, I will guarantee that you will be stronger even without leveling up.
"There are five basic routines. Run, Physical Training, Lunch, Games, and Run. Everything in this list is not meant to be a joke, but training. You will understand that later. The schedule will be followed from Monday to Saturday. You can have free time on Sunday. Whether you want to do some personal training or just resting your body, we will allow it. Just make sure not to go back to your home because you will be disqualified. We have people to supervise it as well.
"Due to the lack of lighting, we will start at 6 AM and stop at 5 PM. Also, we will be supervising you only for one month before continuing to your next training session. You have two missions during this training camp: survive and form a pair. You can go to any of us and ask someone to become your group. We will deal with it after that."
"If you don't have a question, we will start right now. Don't worry about your luggage because you can take it later. Anyway, my friend, First Lieutenant Rick, will show you the course. Follow him and run until you are allowed to retire. We will be running alongside you to make that decision."
