[Bonus chapter]Pool

As Atticus emerged from the forest, he observed some of his fellow trainees already in the water. He remained cautious, knowing that there could be traps hidden beneath the surface. His instincts told him to wait and see, and he didn't have to wait long.

A boy at the front of the group suddenly experienced a shocking encounter. A powerful burst of water erupted from below, propelling the boy high into the air before sending him crashing back into the forest area with terrified screams echoing in his wake.

Atticus couldn't help but think, 'Damn, aren't they taking this too far?'

After observing the situation for a while, Atticus decided to enter the pool. He walked to the water's edge but came to an abrupt halt. 'Fuck! I don't know how to swim!' he thought with frustration.
