Chapter 56 - Physical Training

With the little introduction which Michael made mandatory Luis got to know the two people who happened to be the only new faces, he was seeing.

The boy with the spiked hair was Henry Tel, a first-year student who was in the A-class, with the help of his aura vision Luis was able to find out his ability which was a very rare according one.

The girl which had a really long hair was Monica Smith, she was also in the A-class and was quite the looker, her ability was also a rare one.

[ Name: Henry Tel ]

[ Aura: Yellow ]

[ Race: Human ]

[ Family Ability: None

[ Ability: Ice ]

Once again Luis couldn't understand what another elemental user was doing in the martial arts club. He had never seen an ice ability user before because it was very rare.

[ Name: Monica Smith ]

[ Aura: Yellow ]

[ Race: Human ]

[ Family Ability: Fire ]

[ Ability: Metal ]

Looking at the information Luis didn't want to find out what a whole family of fire users would do to you if you messed with them.

On the other hand, Luis didn't know what a metal ability was.

Luis had taken a peep at both of their watches which had level four h displaying on them.

[ Quest Update ]

[ Allies 1/10 ]

That message hadn't appeared for a while now and now it was showing Luis the number of allies he had, which was only Ella for now, but he didn't understand the bar.

'I'm limited to only having ten allies?' Luis wondered looking at the screen.

"Alright everyone introduction is over," Michael said clapping his hands.

Luis had gotten engrossed in his system that he had forgotten about his number one concern.

'What is he doing here?'

Luis still couldn't understand how a CEO would be working as an instructor for a martial arts class.

Michael walked down from the raised platform and began to scan everyone's face, there was a pause when he got to Luis as both of their eyes met, but he later continued until he had seen the face of everyone in the class.

Michael went on to introduce himself and then jumped straight into business.

"Your first lesson will be outside."

"Outside?" Dylan said.

"Yes, now come on," Michael said and began to walk outside while everyone else followed behind him.

They got to an open field which Luis recognized as the place where he had dealt with three boys sometime last week.

"Now your first lesson is to run from here to that end twenty times."

"Twenty?" Ella gasped.

Luis turned to look at the end of the field which was far away from where they were standing, running back forth from here to there wasn't going to be easy on any of them.

"I thought we were supposed to be learning martial arts, not Physical education." Henry was the first to protest.

"Yes, this looks like something for a physical education class." Luis joined the protest.

Michael let out a short sigh as he turned to Luis.

"This is part of your training and if you are not ready to do it, then you are ready to lose your scores."

"But this has nothing to do with martial arts."

"And how are you even supposed to learn martial arts with those weak limbs of yours?" Michael almost snapped at Luis but was able to calm himself in time.

Seeing that there was no way out of this Silvia had already started running towards the other end.

"Now that's a good girl, better join her in time, because I'll be counting," Michael said and sat down on the big rock in the field, he had a smug look on his face which was annoying Luis more.

"Stupid CEO." Luis cursed under his breath as he joined the others who had long left.

[ +1 Agility point gained ]

[ +1 Stamina point gained ]

This was the message Luis received after completing his fifteenth turn, he wasn't really feeling exhausted only that his feet were getting a little sore from all the running.

'A stat point in both stamina and agility?' Luis thought.

It was nice to see that his stat points could be increased through physical training but Luis wasn't sure he could bring himself to do something like this just to increase his stat points.

Another person who wasn't struggling at all was Ella, with her legs enhanced she was able to run for a long time without feeling fatigued.

< Your ability is the best in this type of situation>

"I know."

That was until she understood what Jasmine was trying to say.

"Hey, this ability is useful in many ways."

< I never said it wasn't > Jasmine said with a little chuckle.

Many would have expected the wonder warrior to be through with her own running section by now but that wasn't the case as she was running just like everyone else, at a normal speed.

She had used her ability at first but Michael had made it clear to her that abilities weren't allowed and told her to start afresh. But even without her ability, she didn't seem to be struggling.

The two-class A students seemed to be doing okay too.

Out of the whole group the only person that seemed to be struggling was Dylan who was sweating profusely while panting heavily.

He was on his last legs but something was keeping him moving.

"No, I can't look weak in front of her again." He muttered to himself as he glanced towards Silvia who was returning while he was going up.

This was the last round as everyone had returned and had immediately sat on the floor to rest, everyone except Dylan who was just about to complete his.

'Just a little more.' He thought to himself as he staggered through the field.

His legs were too weak to continue but Dylan kept pushing them and eventually they gave in right when he was just about to complete his run.

"No, no, no." Dylan tried to keep his legs moving but he couldn't as he fell on the floor unable, he was embarrassed.

"Why am I always different?" Dylan cried as he hit his legs.

Luis seeing that his roommate was in trouble quickly hurried to help him.

"I like him already," Michael said with a smile.

Everyone thought he was referring to Luis but he wasn't.

"Determination and will to never give up until you've given it your all," Michael said. "You should learn from people like that Luis," Michael said pointing at Dylan, this was the time Luis came back with Dylan's hand hanging over his shoulder.

Everyone was confused as to why their instructor was praising the only person who failed to complete his little run, even though he hadn't performed that badly.

With everyone well rested Michael stood up to give an announcement.

"Now we will be moving on to the next lesson."

"Next lesson?" This was almost said in unison by everyone.

The students couldn't even imagine what he was going to tell them to do next.
