Continuous high-intensity training will make people gradually lose the ability to think. Most people have even forgotten how long they have been here.
In addition to training, Zhang Heng's daily life now only includes necessary physiological activities such as eating and sleeping, and the latter two are always insufficient. No matter how much food they eat, they will soon be hungry. No matter how many hours they sleep, their whole body will still ache the next day
In addition to the hapless ones who threw away their training swords before, seven people could not resist the cruel pressure and chose or were forced to quit.
Four of them were Roman citizens. They chose to break the contract with the Gladiator school and went home to find another way out. The three slaves were not so lucky and were taken to mine the next day.
To Gaby's surprise, varo, who was his worst bet, survived.
Although the latter finished the first day's training before sunrise, he had no time to eat and rest, so he could only put himself into a new round of training. Gaby didn't think that he could hold on the next day, but what he didn't expect was that varo miraculously carried it. During this period, Zhang Heng helped him steal water and bread, but he was obviously self-confident Will power is the decisive factor.
This makes Gaby appreciate him a little. Excellent Gladiator, combat skills are important, but firm will is also indispensable. Bach is very good in this aspect. His training is the largest among all people, but he doesn't say a word of complaint except always blowing his beard and staring.
However, Gaby didn't open a back door for varo just because he appreciated him. After all, varo is not a potential rookie worthy of great investment like Bach. It's his own luck that he can make it through. There's no loss if he can't make it through Gladiator school. Anyway, there's always a shortage of people in the mine.
For the moment, varo seems to have good luck. He has survived the most difficult first day and the more difficult second day. He has won himself three hours of sleeping and eating time, which makes his body replenish his physical strength. So on the third day, his speed has improved a little, so in return, he has more rest time.
But his luck ran out on the fifth day, when he sprained his foot in training. Gaby didn't say anything about it. He just asked him to continue training. So varo nearly failed to complete the training task one day with a injured foot. What's worse is that the next day, because of the previous strenuous exercise, his ankle swelled more severely and his movement became more sluggish.
Although varo finally finished the task before the next sunrise, his heart has been filled with despair, because he knows how bad his current situation is, which can not be made up purely by his spirit. With his current physical strength and injury, it is impossible to complete a new round of training in any case.
Fortunately, he later saw Zhang Heng, who made a simple version of ankle brace from bark and cloth strips, threw it in front of him and said, "put it on."
Before, Wei Jiangyang in Zhang Heng's dormitory liked to play ball most, but he always sprained his foot, so the latter bought one to wear on his foot for easy recovery. Of course, the protective equipment company didn't guarantee the distribution to Roman customers in the second century. Fortunately, Zhang Heng knew the principle and structure, so he did it.
Under Zhang Heng's guidance, varo put on the protective gear and ate some bread and water, and finally managed to survive the most dangerous day. After that, his bad luck seemed to have finally come to an end. Although his sprain looked a little terrible before, it didn't hurt the bone. After wearing the protective gear, he began to improve until he recovered as usual.
Varo also gradually caught up with the progress of the large army, to get more time to eat and rest.
When the time came to the 49th day, Gaby cancelled all the training for the first time and gathered all the people together. His eyes swept the faces in front of him.
At present, the number of these reserve gladiators has been reduced from 43 at the beginning of the training camp to 30. Thirteen of them have left the camp either actively or passively for various reasons.
Among them, the number of free men was the most reduced. After all, Gaby suddenly doubled the amount of training in this period without warning, reaching a stage that ordinary people can't bear. This is not the only Gladiator school in Rome. Even people who still want to engage in this profession don't have to hang themselves in a tree if they have a choice.
So on the forty ninth day, there were only two free men left, and the other twenty-eight were slaves.
This result is basically in line with Gaby's expectations, and the next is the final play.
Gladiator assessment.
Although there has been nearly one-third elimination rate so far, not all the remaining 30 people can become gladiators. Although there are some Gladiator schools in the city that will consider the cost of training and buying slaves and choose relatively loose assessment standards, in line with the attitude of being responsible to the audience, Gaby's 20 years as the head of the school I have never relaxed my requirements for many years.
Only good gladiators can give the best performance to the audience.
It is because of always adhering to this principle that Victor arena attendance has been high.Of course, because of the requirements of Marcus, there is another layer of different significance in this assessment.
"Congratulations, you have completed the first part of the training." Gaby said, "but don't be happy too soon, because only by passing the final examination can you become a real Gladiator. Those who fail in the examination, needless to say, you know what fate is waiting for you."
After a pause, Gabriel took a panoramic view of all the facial expressions, and then said, "relax, the assessment content is very simple, not as cumbersome as your previous training programs. Gladiators are people born for fighting, so there is only one criterion to evaluate the merits of a gladiator, that is, whether you can win."
Not only were they not afraid, but they were all eager to try. After so long hard training, it was time for them to show their training results.
"Good, keep this excitement. I believe you have inquired about the assessment method before. After the draw, the winner will pass the assessment, and the loser will be judged by me according to the performance. But this time, we decided to change the assessment method."
Gaby's words changed, and the training ground was suddenly quiet. The joy on everyone's face that they could finally extricate themselves from the devil's training was gone. On the contrary, everyone had a bad feeling of great things in their heart.
Gaby is still slow way, "in order to let you better understand what is the wrestling performance, as well as the gap between you and the formal gladiators, the assessment of your opponent will be the formal gladiators selected from the school, the arrangement of the fight still adopts the way of drawing lots."
"Now, who will be the first to draw lots?"
