On the second day of the training camp, Moss felt Mill was in much higher spirits than before.

“Why didn’t you wake me yesterday? I slept without even taking a shower!” Mill, who had just showered in the morning, playfully complained as she wiped her wet hair.

“You slept like a log, missy,” Alan said smilingly.

“Fortunately, someone washed my clothes. Otherwise, I would have made you do it,” Mill said as she pointed at the bedsheets and clothes in the laundry basket.

“Let’s go and eat. We have yet another day of Devil’s Training. I have to eat my fill before that!” Mill was embarrassed and quickly changed the subject.

“Hahaha!”

Mill attracted the entire dorm’s laughter.

…

The first two hours of training were not much different from the previous day. It was primarily basic training. Still, there were changes.

Beep, beep! The students gathered again under a few short whistles.

“We will be focusing on your confrontation practices today! In thirty minutes, there will be instructors specifically targeting your classes, most suited imparting skills, and other targeted training plans. Everyone, single file! Begin!”

Kevin stayed rooted and spoke coldly, but there was a hint of excitement and joy in his voice.

“Moss, you have to cool it today,” Alan immediately gave Moss an important message as soon as he turned around.

“I’m B-666, don’t call me Moss. Let’s begin!” Moss looked serious, but he laughed aloud inwardly.

…

Forty-five students fought fiercely in a mud pool. It was a rare scene. The fights were relatively orderly, but compared to the more professional students, whenever they used their skills, injuries were inevitable. Therefore, the more they fought, the more chaotic it became.

Meanwhile, Kevin did not stop them. Instead, he only watched with interest.

The ten instructors around Kevin also stared at the fighting students, occasionally swiping through the tablets in their hands.

“Mark, you did that on purpose, didn’t you?!” Alan, who fought Bass, suddenly got attacked by Mark, which completely infuriated him.

Then Alan turned around and attacked Mark. However, Alan was a level 12 alchemist while Mark was a level 16 great swordsman. What’s more, it was a melee fight.

Alan lost in just a short while. The Guardians saw their teammate getting bullied, so they charged forward.

Mark’s team, the Dragon Fists, saw him get surrounded, so they also charged forward. The initial one-on-one free for all had become a five-on-five battle.

It was the Guardians’ first time fighting against Ribery and the other three, and Moss could feel their strength, so he reminded his teammates, “Be careful, everyone. Our opponents are formidable and coordinate very well.”

With Alan as an example of what the Dragon Fists can do, the Guardians were 120% focused. However, there was still a gap in their levels. In addition, Alan could not use his potions, so the Guardians were at a disadvantage. Still, they were fortunate to rely on Moss’s shield, which repeatedly saved them.

Beep, beep!

“Gather around, rookies!”

Although Moss and Ribery’s teams had not fought enough, they still gathered before Kevin as quickly as possible.

Alan felt waves of pain from the bruises on his body as anger ignited in his heart. He glared fiercely at Mark.

Meanwhile, Mark ignored Alan and smirked.

Moss could feel his opponents’ capabilities through their fight just now. Yesterday’s test was only for individual strength, but Moss would have most likely lost if it were a test of agility, speed, and other stats.

At that moment, Moss anticipated the skills imparting segment, targeted training, and potential activation training.

Still, Moss guarded his teammates during the previous fight and felt a slight change in his body. His speed and agility slightly increase. As he thought of this, Kevin spoke, “Next, you will form small groups of ten students. The nine instructors behind me will guide you for the rest of the training. Give the instructors a round of applause.”

After warm applause, the instructors led their teams to begin training. The instructor who led the Guardians was named Accius, a level 39 mage.

When they arrived at the training camp’s southeast corner, Accius spoke for the first time, “All right, students, I will be your instructor for the remainder of this training segment. I hope you will listen attentively and train seriously. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask.”

Everyone knew Accius would impart the most relevant skills to them according to each person’s class and characteristics. The students’ eyes were full of desire as they fixed their gazes on Accius.

“B-661, you possess decent explosive power, and you’re also skilled in the fireball skill. Still, your physical strength is lacking. I witnessed your performance yesterday and discovered how clever you are at integrating your current skills into your physical attacks.

“However, there’s something else you can try, but it will require you to strengthen your weaker physical stats, such as endurance and strength,” Accius spread his hands and deeply inhaled as he spoke. Then he clenched his fists and punched the air, causing a large tree in front of him to shake and the leaves to rustle.

“Wow!”

“That was awesome!”

“Mr. Accius is incredible!”

Accius showed off his skills, causing the Guardians to exclaim in surprise.

“B-661, you can try the qi and blood technique I used just now. Everyone else can also practice it,” Accius said calmly, as if there was nothing special about what he did.

After that, he explained the essentials of qi and blood techniques in detail and other matters that required attention. Everyone listened very attentively as if they had entered a state of meditation.

Moss had received a lot of inspiration from Accius’s lecture. Moreover, he felt that this qi and blood technique was similar to Tai Chi in his past life. His comprehension also became more efficient when he thought of that.

Accius instructed Alan and Baylon before it was finally Moss’s turn.

“B-666, your attack and defenses are outstanding!” Accius looked at Moss smilingly. Still, your agility and speed are lacking. In addition, your leveling speed is slower than more popular classes because you’re a level 15 knight.

“As you know, a knight who has reached that level will slow down in terms of growth, meaning your stat changes won’t be as apparent as the rest,” Accius noticed Moss’s expectant gaze and continued, “I will teach you how to gather qi, which is especially suited for knights.

“Through mastering qi gathering, you can increase your agility, speed, and levels to increase your stats at a much higher rate. However, this technique requires talent and comprehension. Your comprehension level determines the upper limits of this technique.

“Still, the lower limits are the same as other skills, determined through your hard work. You will have gains if you work hard, even though there is a limit to it,” Accius demonstrated what he meant as he spoke.

Moss listened attentively and memorized Accius’s words. It was as if Moss had opened his Ren Meridian.

…

Accius combined his theories with practical training, so the students learned quickly and had fun doing it, making time pass faster.

Beep, beep!

In the blink of an eye, the whistle sounded, signaling the end of the training. However, the students were reluctant to part with Accius.

Accius smiled because every student he taught had trouble leaving. He was already used to it, so he quickly used his trump card to escape. “All classes can use the techniques and skills I taught you. The only thing that varies is its effects. Still, tomorrow’s potential activation training is vital if you want to achieve better results.”

Those words were indeed lethal as endless expectations for tomorrow’s training filled the students. Then Accius took the opportunity to turn around and leave smilingly.
