Jack Blade crossed his arms and said, "It's time to get down to business! Today you're going to face one of the toughest physical tests you've ever had to endure! You have to pass the entrance exam for a simple training session! This exam will push you to the limit and make you endure intense suffering! But after this physical ordeal! I consider you ready to start learning hunter martial arts and then start exterminating zombies! Well... for those who succeed, the others will have to pay for this training out of their own pocket!"
Some in the crowd howled with joy, others shouted "At last!"
Obviously everyone wanted to start killing zombies as soon as possible to gain experience and power, but many didn't see the practical point of this extreme physical training, after all, no matter what the physical exam, their statistics would never budge.
Jack Blade added: "Anyway! Here's the test schedule! It's all about swimming today! You'll have to follow me by swimming! For every hour you follow me, you'll earn 5 points! Those who follow me all the way will get 100 bonus points! Voula! A yes, I've forgotten that it's a particularly difficult test, so I'm offering 15 points immediately to anyone who gives up, and you can just go back to the academy and do whatever you want! So who wants to give up?"
Obviously such an offer was foreign, 15 points corresponded to 3 hours of swimming, which on paper was relatively easy, those who would give up such an opportunity to win would definitely be seen as losers...
There was a long silence as Jack Blade's question was asked, but suddenly someone raised his hand and said "I give up!
This person was none other than William, obviously many thought it a simple gesture of cowardice, but Alexandre and Marlon, who knew William a little, knew that it boded no good. William then turned to Marlon and said "I advise you to give up too!
Marlon replied "What!? No way!"
William said, "Dude, trust me! Give up! You'll make up for it later".
Marlon "Dude! I know it's going to be difficult, but I have no choice, I don't have your talent or Alexandre's, I can only compete with my physical endurance! "
William didn't reply, understanding Marlon deep down, even though he knew it was a bad idea.
Jack Blade said loudly, "Okay! Anybody else?!" he waited a moment, then said, "Anyway! So from now on, any withdrawal before the first hour will be considered a forfeit and you'll get 0 points! We can start!"
