Training Camp

It has been 2 weeks since summer break has started and both Quinn and Jack are at the school for the training camp. Both of them have been training tirelessly for the past 2 weeks and have gotten immensely stronger. Quinn went from Lvl 6 to Lvl 13, and Jack went from Lvl 2 to Lvl 11. Jack mainly got his level ups from his quests as he stopped getting XP from the forest after level 8.

Jack's System was different than everyone else's. He got Quests a lot not frequently and the rewards he got were different. Jack also learned that if he says full status he can see both his stats and skills. 'Full Status'

Jack was quite impressed by his own ability. If he was in some sort of novel he would probably be considered OP. Quinn was just as powerful though. Over his training he figured out how to control his System completely. He discovered that the reason he couldn't before was because he had too much intent on protecting one person.

When the teacher who was supposed to meet the students finally showed up he made an announcement.

"All of you are here for the training camp, so you all must know the risks. We will be going to the Forest of Doom for the training. Some of you might die, but you better not. If you are over Lvl10 you will be fine, you will be able to handle the small monsters and some of the medium ones. Those of you over Lvl 15 will be able to handle the medium monsters easily. Under no circumstances are any of you to challenge a Large or Colossal monster. These monsters will kill anyone under Lvl 30 with ease, so stay clear of them if you see them."

Jack knew this was bad news as his System liked to give him Quests that he shouldn't be getting at his Lvl. Jack was about to ask how they were gonna get there when the teacher snapped and everyone was teleported to a large camp in a forest.

"This is where you will be staying for the next 2 months. No teachers will be around, it is just you students. There is about 300 of you, so you should be fine."

With that final comment the teacher snapped again and he vanished. Jack assumed that he had some sort of Transportation or Teleportation System.

Quinn interrupted Jack's thought process by tapping him on the shoulder. Jack turned to look at Quinn and noticed that some of the students were freaking out. Some were screaming at the top of their lungs, others looked dead inside as they realized the teachers weren't going to help. Jack, Quinn and a handful of students didnt react at all. These few people were the standouts among System users.

All of a sudden a girl spoke up!

"My name is Kate Love. As most of you know, I am the strongest student in the school. I am currently Lvl 43 and will protect all who need to be protected."

She spoke loud and clear with a smile on her face. Most of the students were praising and thanking Kate for her generosity while Jack and Quinn just looked on from a distance. Kate soon noticed that Jack and Quinn were not praising her and looked at them.

"Would you two like me to protect you as well?"

If was as if she said it in a condescending tone and Jack and Quinn did not like it. They gave a simple "Nah, We're good," before walking towards a tent. Although both of their Lvl's weren't that high, they had more battle experience than most.

After Jack and Quinn set up their temporary home they went out to go train. Most monsters weren't real and dissapeared after being killed so there was no need for them to really worry about attracting unwanted attention for the more powerful monsters.

Traveling along the trail both Jack and Quinn were having a conversation. They were talking about Kate. "So what do you think about Kate, Quinn?" Quinn almost immediately replied "I don't like her. She knows shes strong and uses her strength to have people follow her. I mean, I know that's how life works but still, I don't want people to follow me just cause I can protect them. I want people to follow me because we can protect eachother."

Jack and Quinn were both in agreement. They would rely on eachother, not on stronger people. If they couldn't defeat their opponent, they would get stronger.

After about an hour of walking and defeating Small monsters the two decided to take a break. They found a clearing which they made a fire in. They had killed some real boars and were about to cook them up to eat. Boar meat was tough and stringy. After cooking each piece of meat they would have to pull it apart so they could eat it comfortably.

The two talked for a while before returning to training. They had obviously talked about something serious as they were more tight with their combos and movement. They were becoming a really good team and they felt as though they could take on anything and win.

Whilst fighting a entire Goblin camp they ran into 3 Hobgoblins. These were classified as medium monsters so they knew not to underestimate them. They saw this as the perfect opportunity to try out their special combo move. It was called Hero's Virtue. The combo involved Jack running at the first enemy and kicking them in the air. This was followed by Quinn throwing his sword at the enemy which was in flight. After the enemy was killed from the blow, Jack would then jump and grab the sword while it was still in the air and slam it down on the next enemy slicing it in half. The third enemy would be slain by Quinn as he would create another sword and behead it. That would cause his first sword to disappear though.

With the 3 Hobgoblins defeated Jack and Quinn celebrated. That was their first special combo and it went smoothly. They were able to take on 3 medium monsters when they weren't even Lvl 15.

Feeling successful in their training the two of then decided to head back to camp for now. They would head out at night to fight the stronger monsters as well but wanted to lie down for a bit. Unbeknownst to the two of them, Kate was following them to see why they hadn't accepted her offer of protection. When she saw what they could do, she was impressed...impressed that two weaklings could take on 3 medium monsters by themselves.

Kate used one of ther skills to see the Lvl's of the two boys and was surprised to see that they were both Lvl 15. She concluded that they Lvl'd up after the fight with the medium monsters.
