The next day, Leader Shun and others started their plan. First, they stabilised a training facility and used their newfound fame to let everyone in the city get the news.

To entice people to come to their training center and join it, they offered free training exercises and promised to make them stronger.

.....

As for recruiting just and like-minded people from the bunch, Erick offered an option to use an interview as a guise to find the real intent behind the person in joining their group.

With the help of Erick, who set Archrune on a chair, finding the right person from the bunch of people became easy and in just a week, they recruited more than 50 people.

‘Rhamnusia’ training center became bustling with people in just a week so the training also started in the same week.

The basic body exercise which Erick previously made for Leader Shun and his group already became useless for them so he advised leader Shun to use this to train their newly recruited people and develop some real bones and muscles into them.

When they recruited people Erick had advised them to only look at the person’s personality and attitude towards life, not the person’s build or strength.

So except for a few five or so people, the rest of them are totally weak and skinny people. If they stood on plain ground and a hard wind would be enough to blow them away.

At the hall of ‘Rhamnusia’ training center, more than 50 or to be exact 56 people were standing with a relaxed posture and in front of them, at a small podium where Leader Shun stood.

“Hello, everyone! I am the leader of this ‘Rhamnusia’ training center and the group which you joined. From today onwards, all of you will start your training and slowly build your strength if you want to join us on the hunting grounds. Before I start, let me be upfront. The training would be so hard that you might collapse in just a few hours or might feel excruciating pain when you rest at night, so whoever wants to back out right now do so otherwise in the middle I won’t let you even if you beg me to let you go!” Leader Shun’s voice echoed in the quiet hall when he started to speak. He cleared his standing among them and explained what to expect from the training center while he also gave them a warning.

Nobody moved from their position even after leader Shun warned, so the leader smiled slightly then again with a stern expression he gave a motivational speech making 56 people listening to him fired up their resolve.

For that, every morning the 56 energetic people would come and in the evening, dead tired, they would return to their homes.

To make it easier for these people to understand their increased strength, Erick further divided the 1-star, 2-star, and 3-star stages into 9 levels.

.....

1-Star:

Level-1; the person can throw a punch with 100 N or below. ( A/N: N stands for Newton).

Level-2; Above 100 N and below 500 N.

Level-3; Above 500 N and below 1000 N.

2-Star:

Level-4; Above 1000 N and below 2000 N.

Level-5; Above 2000 N and below 3000 N.

Level-6; Above 3000 N and below 5000 N.

3-Star:

Level-7; Above 5000 N and below 7000 N.

Level-8; Above 7000 N and below 9000 N.

Level-9; Above 9000 N

.....

Once the level chart was finalised and measured by a machine made by Erick using the old gaming system, Old Shun and others became eager to check their level.

After checking Cortel, Monan, Merial, and Rodrick were on the same strength at Level-2, with a little bit of fluctuation. But Leader Shun and the other five didn’t even make a cut to be on Level-1, which made their mood sour a little.

The next day, when Erick started their training, leader Shun and five others were extra energetic with their training, making Erick question them if they had taken the wrong medicine as usually, they wouldn’t move too much and only do what was required of them so Erick’s curiosity was justified.

Erick would only train them and clearly made his point when Leader Shun asked him to also guide the newly recruited.

Erick said that he won’t be always present with them so they need to exert their influence on them so the future member would respect them or admire them.

After that, Leader Shun and others took turns in training the recruits using their methods.

Leader Shun used his age and temperament to make himself look like a kind and patient, guiding old grandpa. He usually shared his experience about how to avoid being put on the spot or other things.

Cortel used her usual strict persona to train them, which cemented a devil lady image among the recruits. Cortel’s main focus was on stamina so she made them sweat like a bucket when they trained.

Merial is shy and kind so she quickly became an angel among them. Merial also mastered some first aid with the help of Erick so she taught everyone how to apply that to themself when someone is in a fight.

Monan also applied her firm attitude and made sure everyone knows how important team unity is. She taught them a discipline that everyone had to follow as when they become eligible to join the hunting team so they won’t mess up the order of the team.

Rodrick taught everyone his specialty, a trick to form a tactic or formation, and how important it can become when they are up against multiple opponents or a stronger opponent.

Soren along with the rest five of them, decided to teach how to fight, using hand-to-hand or weapons. Soren even demonstrated how to wield multiple weapons and switch between them in the middle of a fight depending on the situation. The other five were muscle-brained so they taught how to flex their muscles and beat the shit out of everyone in the name of teaching them.

Just like that, three months passed by.

(Time Skip-3 Months later)

“Today, I let you witness how we do the cleaning of these disgusting malice organisms so don’t blink and make sure to keep a safe distance!” Leader Shun shouted while advancing towards a horde of orange slimes with the shape of amoeba-looking organisms.

Followed behind him were Cortel and others with their weapons in their hands.

The group of 56 people wearing the same military dress stood opposite leader Shun and others went. Waited there with heated breaths while keeping their unblinking eyes towards the action of leader Shun and others were about to take.
