Chapter 55: The Training Begins
Early the next morning, the sky just brightened, and a crisp horn broke the tranquillity of the morning.
The freshmen in the fifteen teams got out of their tents one after another and walked quickly to the gathering place to wait.
After approximately a cup of tea’s time, the instructors of each group also walked to the gathering place.
This time, there was an unfamiliar Spiritual Plant Master beside them.
Ba Hao walked to the front of group 7 together with the tall and average-looking woman.
“Let me introduce to you. This is Lin Fei Yu, the instructor from the Combat Department, and also your other team instructor. She will take you to the Thorn Valley Mountain Range with me to complete this training.”
“Hello, Instructor Lin!” Everyone said in unison.
Lin Fei Yu had a faint smile on her face, and her eyes were firm and serious, “I am very happy to be your team leader instructor this time. In the days to come, I hope you will join us in making group 7 a benchmark for the freshmen of the Royal Academy.
“Based on the previous situations of the Royal Academy, if nothing happens to the people in the group you’re assigned to at first, then the members of each training group in the next three years wouldn’t change. This also means that you will spend every time with me and Instructor Ba for each training.”
She glanced at everyone sharply and said: “I don’t want any dirty things happening in our team where you deal with members of this group privately. Once found, sorry, please leave immediately. We don’t need or welcome such people to continue to be companions.
“Alright, now let me talk about the missions for this training.” She took out a file and unfolded it: “Our mission this time is to find three kinds of concentrate mineral that could be used for forging, and two kinds of medicinal herbs that could be made into potions. Whichever team collects more will win.”
Ba Hao took out a stack of paper and distributed one to each of them, which recorded the introduction and images of the concentrate minerals and medicinal herbs they needed to search for.
“We will now set off to the Thorn Valley Mountain Range. In the next two days, Instructor Ba and I will teach you how to adapt to the environment and fight in the mountain range. I hope you will study hard.”
She nodded to everyone and walked in one direction. Ba Hao waved to everyone to follow.
The Thorn Valley Mountain Range was located southeast of the Royal Academy and was a grand canyon rich in resources.
At the same time, it was also a restricted area of the Royal Academy, used as a training ground for the students of this Academy. Outsiders or other forces couldn’t enter.
The two instructors introduced as they walked.
“There are many demonic plants and magical beasts in the mountains and valleys. The place is divided into three zones, the outer zone, inner zone, and central zone.
“The scope of the freshmen’s first training experience is only on the periphery, the outer zone, but this doesn’t mean that it’s safe.
“Most of the magical beasts and demonic plants that appear in the periphery are at Spirit Novice level, and occasionally even a Spirit Attendant level one would appear, which are very dangerous.
“In each team, the Academy has taken into account the actual situation of the distributions, and each department has the information. As long as we unite and work together on the periphery, it wouldn’t be too difficult.
“…”
The group walked for more than two hours and finally entered the Thorn Valley Mountain Range.
From the foot of the mountain range, the Thorn Valley Mountain Range looked like undulating, dense primeval forests. The edges spanned as far as the eye could see. From time to time, the deep roars of magical beasts could be heard.
After stepping into the mountain range, most people in the group revealed excitement in their eyes, and they were very much looking forward to experiencing battles.
Lin Fei Yu had led many students and wasn’t surprised by this situation, but there was a mysterious smile on her lips.
Sure hope these people could still hold such excitement and expectation in the next month and not cry for their parents, wanting to leave.
