"Hah... Hah..." Ryan kept panting due to all the runnaing.

'The realism of this game is on a whole new level, This feels do real!' Ryan thought.

After running for a while, they have finally arrived at the training area.

"Excuse Sir"

When the soldier turn around and look at them, they feel a chill run down their spine.

"What?" His tone is flat as he ask them.

"Please can you train us?" Ryan asked, this Is a classical line of getting training quest from NPC.

A pressure suddenly descends on both Ryan and Riz.

'What the hell? Is this guy testing us or trying to break us' Ryan struggled under the pressure and Riz is fairing much better than Ryan.

'That's why no one has taken him as a teacher yet' Riz thought.

"It seems you two are not that bad"

"What does that mean?" They simultaneously said.

"You have passed my test, I will be taking you in as my disciples but I promised it will not be easy"
