Chapter 106: Training(III)

While they were talking about something, I conjured fireballs and shot at them. Within a few moments, they were burned to death. 

I was surprised. This whole incident didn't look like something in virtual reality. Everything felt real. But I remember what Scarlet told me.

This whole fight happened in real. When forces attacked the other planet, someone recorded this fight. But this didn't look like a recreation.

But anyway, the first obstacle is over. After carefully scanning the area, I came out of the pit and moved towards the building. I don't know what is in there, but it should be important, otherwise, I wouldn't be spawning here.

I moved fast and hid behind the boundary wall while my ears perked up to listen to any movements. But even after waiting for some time, there was no movement on the other side of the wall.

Even though everything was virtual, my heart kept on beating faster. The excitement I felt during these few moments was real. If this would be my future, I can't wait for the day when I would be in the field.

But that's the matter of the future. First I have to clear this thing. But I don't know how they are going to calculate my response.

I concentrated again to listen to the movements on the other side of the wall. But again, I didn't find any. After taking a deep breath, I started crawling.

There was total darkness around me as if it was the night and apart from the occasional sound of guns and shrieks, there was total silence. I could even hear the sound of my footsteps. This was incredible. To think that they have created something like this, I couldn't think of the efforts they have put into making this simulation.

Just as I was near the gate, I peeked inside to see if there was anyone nearby the gate.

But in a second, my senses started screaming about the incoming danger. Without a delay, I teleported and moved back to the pit. Just as I moved into the pit, I heard the heart-rending sound of the blast. My heart started beating faster. It felt too real to be true. I think the blast was at the same place as where I was peeking at the door.

'Fuck' I don't know who the asshole was, but my heart stopped for the moment.

Even though it is a virtual reality, I took a deep breath to calm my beating heart.

After a while, I camouflaged myself and slowly peeked again. I wanted to know who that asshole was.

During my time in the Jungle, I developed the ability to see in the dark and it is really useful now.

I don't know if these people have heat sensor devices, but I have to take the risk.

During all this while, my heart was beating so fast that even I could hear the sound of the heartbeat.

But anyway, I slowly moved my head and peeked again. This time, I didn't feel anyone spotting me. I think they don't have any heat sensors or maybe in virtual reality, there is no role in it.

Just as I peeked outside, I spotted someone standing at the window with a gun-like weapon in his hand.

The alien looked like a lizard, but it did not differ from humans. Just like standing, holding a gun in his hand, while wearing the vest, and his eyes fixed on the place where there was the blast.

Since I was in camouflage, he could not see me. I slowly conjured a small spike on my palm and shot at him. Just like an assassin, I killed that alien.

I liked the way everything was going on. My heart was beating in excitement while I came out of the pit again. But just as I was about to move into the building, everything vanished and I heard Scarlett's voice.

"It's over for now," 

I was surprised, just as everything was going fine, they logged me out. But I quickly removed the headset to see that Scarlett was staring at me.

"What happened?" I asked, 

"Nothing, that was just the normal mission. You just had to kill the alien guarding the building. Which you have done successfully."

I was stunned. Before going into that simulator, they didn't tell me anything about my goal. But suddenly something dawned on me. If they had told me about the mission, my mind would have been preoccupied with the goal, and that would have destroyed the entire purpose of getting the data on my reaction.

I nodded as I removed the headset, and Scarlett helped me remove all those wires attached to me. After a while, I stood up and made my way out of the room to see that everyone was glaring at a screen.

I think that my data was being shown.

Just as I entered the room, everyone turned their heads to look at me.

Tanya and Alexandra even smiled at me. 

"You didn't tell me that your blink was upgraded?" Alexandra asked me.

"You didn't ask this whole time," I smiled and said to her, while I started walking towards them. Even I wanted to see my data.

During my training with Alexandra, she knew about my abilities. She also knew that I cannot blink over five meters, but this time, the pit was over fifty meters away from the wall. Surely she would be surprised.

But just as I moved closer to the screen, Tanya stood in the way as she glared at me and said, "I didn't know that you had this many abilities. Finally, we could have a good time together. Anyway, you did a good job. But you cannot see the data. It's only for us to see,"

I was stunned. Why can't I see my own data? At least I would know about the parameters. But I just nodded and moved back. 

"So what's the plan now?" I turned to Alexandra.

"You would have simulator training every day. Every time there would be different scenarios, and just like today, you would not be told about anything. It's up to you to survive in that scenario,"

But her face suddenly turned serious as she said, "But remember, don't take the simulator lightly. Even though it's a virtual environment. It would help you hone your skills."

"I understand," I nodded and said to her.

Even if she didn't tell me about it, I would have taken the simulator seriously. I understood one thing. The gameplay was a real-life scenario. Someone actually faced those threats while recording everything. What if I was in that place? And the simulator gave me the experience of being on the battlefield.

For whatever reason, I feel that I would develop a lot while playing these real-life scenarios and it would help me a lot in the future.

But sometimes I feel that why I am doing this? Why am I putting my life on the line? I could just live my life happily. But no one respects the weak person on this planet. Especially for a Power user like me. If I want respect or If I don't want anyone to dictate me. I must become powerful and these types of training would help me a lot.

After speaking to them for some time, they told me that they had already sent my data to the Headquarters. They even mentioned the type of skills I used in the simulator. From what they told me, headquarters would send different resources which would help me develop those skills.

For example, I used the fireball in the simulator. They would send some medicine that would help me to increase the intensity of the fire or the spike I used to kill that alien. They could even send someone to train me on that particular skill.

After a while, the moment came that I had been waiting for a long time. The Gravity Chamber.

During my time in the village, that place helped me a lot. Now, after I heard that, I would be training in the gravity field, I felt really excited. 

After a while, I stood in front of a different room, but I could see a locker-like gate in front of me. My heart was beating faster as I glared at that big door in front of me. 

Suddenly, that gate opened, and I went inside. It was a different room as it was circular, while it was enshrouded in dim light. But as soon as I entered the room, the door closed with a loud sound. I turned around to see that the door was closed, but suddenly Alexandra's voice echoed in the room.

"I think you should know about the Gravity Chamber. But I will tell you once more. You will train your body in different Gravity Fields, which were found on different planets. It would help you adapt to the environment when you go to that planet for an attack. But remember, don't put too much stress on your body, otherwise it will negatively harm you. We will start with the two times gravity."

I smirked when I heard her and a thought came into my mind, 'Let's surprise her,'
