Chapter 337: Mechanical and Biochemical

"I won't fight anymore!" Chu Nan said. "How could I fight ten people in one night!? What do you take me for?"

"Oh, you're tired? Turns out a police officer can only do— "

"Stop using this excuse over and over! You — You are crazy! I quit! I am telling my grandfather— "

"So childish." Cleo sneered. "Mr. Chu… we aren't forcing you to fight. We are just a bit disappointed. We heard that people like you could actually fight against ten people at the same time. Now, you are about to fight ten people and they aren't even attacking you at the same time."

Chu Nan finished the water that Lyca handed. "Your people are freakish." These people were all agile and they fight dirty too. After the first fight, everyone seemed to think that they can just do everything to win. They throw sands and some were using words to provoke him.

Chu Nan was able to defeat a few of them, but his energy was also depleted. Tackling one or two of these people was really tiring. "Listen… I am not trained to fight against ninjas." That's right. These people reminded him of ninjas that he saw on the TV. They are quick, they can dance in the air and act like acrobats.

"Alright… let's call it a night then." Lyca frowned as she looked at everyone. "I am disappointed." With that, she turned towards the two-story building. Chu Nan and Cleo immediately followed her.

"Hey, be honest with me. Why are you training assassins? I heard earlier that they will join the security assembly. These people…"

"Aren't you tired? You should sleep. Tomorrow, you will fight more people." Lyca said as she threw a small vial to Cleo. "Use this to clean his bruises." Then she threw another one. "Let him take that. He won't feel a thing tomorrow."

"Oh. Alright…" Cleo said. "Hey, follow me. Xi will sleep now."

"What about my poison?"

"Did you defeat all of them?" Cleo asked.

"You — That is impossible."

Cleo just shrugged and led him to his own room. The room wasn't big. It has a double bed, a small toilet with a shower, a table, a small window, and a cabinet. "Your things will be sent here tomorrow. For now, use those clothes."

"What is this place? How come those people are like that?" Lyca said earlier that all of them trained for a few months already. When she scolded them, she was acting like having those results after training for just a few months was terrible. "Months… they have been training for months. I have been with the forces for years," he uttered.

"Yeah… they are young. Take off your clothes." Cleo said sternly.

"Why?"

"I am going to use this on your wounds."

"Oh." Seeing Cleo's unabashed expression, he shrugged and took his shirt off. "All of them are hitting fatal points. If I am not careful enough, I will injure myself."

"They are trained like that."

"To kill people?" he asked.

"Yeah," Cleo said as she sighed. Some parts of his body were already turning a little bluish. "I am sure that Xi won't let you fight again tomorrow."

"But she said…"

"She's always like that," Cleo uttered. "She's different. Alright, I am done. You should take one of these tablets." She put the vial on the table.

Chu Nan squinted his eyes at the tablet. "This place should be a secret, no?"

"Ah, you finally had some brains?" Cleo sneered. "This place is a secret."

"Then… she took me here to… "

"To help her and help you," Cleo uttered. "You are helpless. I should go now." She said and turned towards the door, leaving a serious Chu Nan inside.

…

Just like what Cleo said, Lyca didn't ask Chu Nan to fight again the next day. Instead, she scolded her people and told them that in front of a person who has trained for so long, they will surely die. Then she gave them some tips.

Of course, this tip only made Chu Nan frowned.

Lyca actually said that if they can't beat them, using martial arts then use knives. If they can't kill them using knives, use guns. Just do it as quickly as possible to avoid being injured. Finally, if the opponent is really strong and they can't kill them, then the best option is to run. Run as fast as possible. Isn't this why she had been training them to run in the mountains every day?

This… this is really weird, ah. But for some reason, it made sense. Lyca had been telling them that survival is the most important. In a battle, the most important thing is to live.

"Alright, check out the things that I bought. Each of you will have six daggers. All of these are custom-made base on your capabilities." Lyca gestured Hogan and his people to give them the boxes. "I know that you have been training with knives and guns in the past few days now. It's time that we focus on one thing. I want to have an impromptu examination using the daggers and guns. I want to see everyone's capabilities. Then I would divide you base on your results. There will be two groups, mechanical and biochemical. Mechanical as the name suggests would use knives, guns, and other things that needed pressure and ability, and skills. Biochemical... Is by using poison." She said as his gaze darted towards Chu Nan. "You — will be the first member of my biochemical team."

"Ah?"

"Yes, you," Lyca said, her gaze darted towards the other people that were forming a line in front of her. "In the next few days, everyone will train base on their groups. Mechanical will train using guns, knives, and other weapons. Biochemical will train with explosives, poisons, antidotes, acid and chemical elements." She once again looked at Chu Nan. "Everyone of them has memorized the table of elements and the art of war." Seeing Chu Nan's dark expression, Lyca smirked. "Don't worry, they can teach you if you forget something."
