Chapter 66: You call this Training?

Author's Note: Sorry guys, but I was admitted in hospital due to an accident for few months. My friend who helped me in editing my old chapters posted the previous episodes with my permission after listening to the episode stories i had in mind and that is why it was not in main character's point of view. I'm starting to write again starting this chapter, so it will be back to Allen's point of view. Thank you for your support.

I was wondering how tough the next waves will be when my pet Jack telepathically told me there are about 25 movements in the vegitation coming towards us. I was shocked as it was difficult for us to handle just 10 rabbits and now more than double that number is what they have to fight now.

I informed the number of the rabbits coming toward us to Kathy and Kamran so they can be prepared to attack when the time comes. I saw Kathy gripping her crossbow with determination to fight harder, but Kamran just smiled and nodded his head in affirmation.

Myself and Kathy started to use our crossbows as soon as the first rabbit showed it's head out of the vegitation. Since we were using mana infused bolts and performing mana exercise, it became easy for us to kill them quickly.

But Kamran was a bit of disappointed by our attack as we didn't coordinator our attacks and few times we attacked same rabbit at the same time. I was also a bit disappointed as I was performing mana exercise from the start of the 2nd wave, but still couldn't go through the 2nd move of the 1st set.

It was very difficult for me due to the immense pain it gave me. I started the 2nd move and gritted my teeth to endure the pain it caused me. I couldn't concentrate on the fight for a few seconds due to the pain an because of that 5 rabbits came close to me.

I was about to attack the rabbits that came close to me when a group of wind swords pierced the rabbits and killed them instantly. I still couldn't understand how Jack is able to use a deadly skill like this while we are still in low-level private stage.

We can only learn these type of skills when we reach corporal stage, by Jack is using it even now. It didn't stop me wondering how even after watching him use this skill multiple times.

I suddenly felt a warm sensation from my side and understood Kathy is levelling up. "Congrats Kathy, keep up the good work." I said to her with a smile while firing my crossbow continuously on the rabbits.

She had withdrew her pet Daisy inside her so she could level up and that has created an opening and opportunity for rabbits to attack her. I asked Jack to give priority in protecting her during the level up.

Kamran also went close to Kathy to protect her when she is vulnerable while undergoing her level up. It took a few minutes for her to complete it and I could feel her power raising to the peak of mid-level private stage and was shocked because of it.

I immediately check my mana purifier as it will increase our power. Our mana purity will directly help our power level of our attack and defence. I was shocked to see my mana is 33.8% pure.

Before coming to Bogi, my mana was only 18% pure and within a Dat it has almost reached double of that amount. Now I know why my attacks are effective on the rabbits which are 2 levels above my level.

While I was thinking about it, I felt a sudden pain on my leg. I saw a rabbit bitting my left leg since Gieger was unable to stop many rabbits from attacking me. Jack also couldn't attack it as he was drained by using his AEO skill while protecting Kathy during level up.

I immediately aimed my crossbow towards the head of the rabbit biting my leg and shot a bolt at point range. My attack killed it, but still the pain didn't subside as the teeth of the rabbit was still immersed into my leg.

I didn't want to shout and create a panic situation as Kamran and Kathy over protective toward me because they have seen me in my worst time. I gripped my crossbow and gritted my teeth. I pulled out the tooth from my leg and threw it away and ate a candy from aunt Anita to heal the wound.

"RETREAT" I heard a deafening sound from Kamran. First I wondered why he is ordering a retreat when Kathy has just levelled up and gave us an edge over the mutated rabbits.

I looked at him and realised that he gave that order because of my injury. He already informed us that the rabbits could have poisonous effect on the people it bite and to be careful not to get bitten during our debriefing before the hunting began. But I didn't worry about it as it was only a 30% chance to be affected.

"We need to take you to the healer immediately." Kamran said to me looking at my confused face.

"You don't have to worry about it. It is just a scratch. Not big enough to stop our training." I said to him trying to smile and make him believe it is not a serious injury.

"You call this Training brother?" Kathy said with a frustrated tone while shooting mutated rabbit.

I understood that it is hard for her since she hasn't fought this hard before coming to Bogi.

"It doesn't look like a scratch kid. Your face betrays your heart. It clearly shows how serious your injury is. Let's go Kathy. Gieger, Jack, Daisy cover our retreat." he said to me and ordered our pets at the same time.

I took a step with disappointment since we had to stop the training in the middle just to take care of my injury. I fell to the ground when I tried to move my left leg. Only then I realised how serious my injury was.

I couldn't feel my entire left leg and couldn't move from my place because of it.

Kathy and Kamran came running near me to make sure I was okay. Kamran lifted me using his shoulder, but still I was unable to move as the pain started to increase every second even though my leg was completely numb.

He called his pet Gieger and asked him to carry me in princess style so it will not cause any pain for me. Kathy and Kamran stood behind us vigilantly to kill any rabbit before it could reach us. It was going great at the moment except for the pain I'm starting to feel on my entire body.

I gritted my teeth to avoid screaming in pain which will surely scare them to their core because of their love and care towards me. But still few muffled sceams came out of my mouth which made Kamran worry about my condition. It's a good thing that Kathy's ears are as sharp as his, or she wold have started crying then and there.

I continued performing the mana exercise which helped me to stay awake. The pain I am enduring now helped me to pass through the move. I was able to reach 10th move of the 1st set with ease.

It was like a long journey for me to reach the town's defense wall. It was through my will power I made sure I didn't lose my conscious. I know losing consciousness will let the poison in my body to spread faster as I will not be able to perform mana exercise without me being conscious.
