Chapter 16: Training Begins

Mika's P.O.V

Before I begin to train, I first change clothes since I'm still I'm my uniform, just a jagger and a white t-shirt will do.

We did our warm-ups first and then got on our stations, Ryu and I are both on the gun shooting station, we both turned on the virtual reality mode and choose our guns.

We were in a virtual reality mode for one hour then we all gathered in the main room to fight with each other, no teammates, just deathmatch.

I was fighting with Allison and Kyle versus Ryu, Alli hit my left hand making me lose my grip on my arnis stick, he then kicked it the reason why it fell.

He was about to hit me on the face but I dodge it using my right hand that still has one arnis stick, I then got a grip on one of his sticks and pull it with all my strength and throw it on the side making only having one stick each.

We are both giving and taking attacks from each other when Ryu approached to be with an attacking fist that I dodge with my stick, now I'm fighting against Ryu who doesn't have any weapon and just his fist, I gave him a right hit using my stick and he just simply caught it, I then grab the chance to punch I'm on his stomach using my left arm and kick his knee making him back a bit and released my stick, I was about to give him a front slay but he's fast to move and in just a blink of an eye he's already at my back, he was about to grab me from behind but I quickly go lower making him grab the air instead, I turned to his direction and gave him a slide right rotating kick making him lose his balance.

We were like that for a few minutes when suddenly the red light came in, a sign that there will be flying shurikens and daggers everywhere and we have to dodge it.

We stopped fighting each other and focused on the endless flying shurikens and daggers, we don't have anything right now, just our fist so as we dodge the incoming attacks, our arms are constantly bleeding, after 5mins, the flying daggers stopped replacing moving lasers that we need to avoid, jumping, leaning, crouching, back flipping, running and tumbling is what we do for about 10 minutes just to avoid the lasers, this practices our fast reflexes.

All of that stopped for a minute giving us a quick rest, all of us are panting heavily, bleeding arms, and sweats all over our body, the lights went off for a bit and a blinking red light came in.....Last round...the hardest.

We then heard an opening sound from the walls, a sign that random knives, daggers, shuriken, and round blades will be thrown on us, lights are off and only the blinking red light is all we have and when there is a laser coming, that serves as our source of light but we still need to avoid it.

Count down started...

3...

2...

1...

We can hear the machines are now on and ready to throw any kinds of blades on us, this type of training is what immune us in the dark, with us blinded making our other senses more active and sensitive.

That round lasted for about 20mins. then the lights are back revealing our bleeding bodies, all our stamina was drained, iIgot on my knees as I feel my body giving up, all I think right now is sleeping in a cozy bed, my body felt numb from all the attacking as well as the others.

All of us just laid on the floor breathing heavily and closing our eyes, we all just laugh because of our current state.

"Hahaha, jeez that feels like hell hahaha" Ryu stated.

"Oh yeah hell it was hahaha I wanna sleep for a whole day" Kyle added and we all agreed to dream of us just sleeping for a whole day.

After a good 10mins. of rest just by laying on the floor, we did gain our strengths back at least a little and headed for a shower, my shower is separated from their's since I'm a girl and the rest of them are boys.

After we finished cleaning up, we all meet in our lounging area to have a chat for a bit but I didn't stay long, I wanna check on how Kalix's training is.

"I have to go now guys haha today was a good training, see again tomorrow"

"Oh, okay bye Mika" Alli and Kyle waved their hands.

"Yahh Mika, are you checking on Jickzel back at the beginners training hall?"

"yes...and you can call him Kalix, his name was originally Kalvin Lexer back when he was still an Allianza"

"Oh okay...can I come with you? hehe"

"Sure Ryu, let's go"

We bid goodbye again to our two comrades and then headed to the elevator to go back to floor 2 where the beginners training hall.

When we got out of the elevator, Ryu put his hands around my shoulder again as we walk and pass by different stations, Kalix Station is still quite far, By the time we get there he was still in training dodging flying sharp sticks using nunchaku.

"Wow! how I missed this kind of training, just calm and not bloody like we had earlier hahaha" Ryu stated.

"HAHAHA me too, I kinda wanna try the training in here again"

"Lol, ironic isn't it? these beginners are giving their best to pass and go to the next level so one day they could be in the same rank as us but here we are, wishing to have their training, just calm and easy HAHAHAHA"

"Oof yeah, HAHAHA oh well, we are the generals, after all, the training we're having is the equivalent of the mission they're giving"

"Yeah, I'm so exhausted by my last mission"

We stopped our small talk when Kalix turns his gaze on us, his training is finished.

"Hey bro, how's your first day of training?" Ryu asked as soon as Kalix got out of his station, training station for beginners are all glass walls so the instructor and observers can see how they are doing.

"It's fine haha its fun but I find it easy" Kalix replied.

"Chill bro, as you passed levels, your training would be harder and harder"

Kalix just smiled at Ryu and looked at us, he notices the wounds all over our arms.

"What happened to the both of you," Kalix asked curiously looking at our fresh wounds.

"Welp, this is what you get in training assassins level HAHAHAHA right Mika?"

"Yeah, it's kinda bloody as real blades hit our skins"

"oh HAHAHA okay, let's go? I'm kinda hungry hahaha we didn't have dinner yet and its already 8 pm"

"Hahaha sure I'm kinda hungry too, Ryu wanna join us?"

"Sure, let's eat in the cafeteria since restaurants are quite far from here HAHAHHA"

"You have a cafeteria in here too?"

"Yep this secret training facility has everything you need, except for shopping malls lol HAHAHA but yeah, maybe some other time I'm gonna tour you around"

"Hahaha okay"

The three of us then headed to the elevator and I pushed the fourth floor, that's where the cafeteria is, this underground facility is quite deep, having 12 floors, 1 is the deepest and 12 is the highest.

Ryu's hand is still around my shoulder and I can catch Kalix gaze glaring at Ryu's hand but I just didn't mind.

When we entered the cafeteria, we sat at a table that is good for four people and Ryu insisted that he will be the obe to order, I wanted a large chicken sandwich and a vegetable salad with a large cup of fruits and an iced tea for drinks, Kalix, on the other hand, ordered double patty burger, tuna sandwich, and an orange juice, we waited for Ryu for a couple of minutes and Kalix and I talked for a bit about training and stuff like that.

When the food and Ryu arrived, we started eating and also talking to each other...Ryu and Kalix still have awkwardness when they talk, Kalix is pretty sarcastic and so as Ryu...I just continued to eat and pretended that there is no awkward barrier around them HAHAHA.
