At the back of the Ancient Academy lay an open field at the size of four football fields all together.
There every first year student gathered. All wearing their battle suits.
The boys have on a white silky shirt that stick onto their body making it look like they weren't even wearing a shirt. They also wore long sweat pants. These pants although may not look fitting for training, it in fact does not affect how they perform at all.
The girls wear the same shirt as the boys except it isn't as excessively stick onto their skins. However, the shirt still caused a few stares from the boys. They also wore black stockings and a slightly short skirt.
In the crowd of students Wei Xu moved away from his classmates going in the middle of the crowd.
For some reason he felt uncomfortable being at the front but at the same time felt insecure at the back.
He thought being at the front where all attention is on you isn't a good feeling while being at the back leaving your back wide open to any sudden movement is rather dangerous.
Being in the middle made him feel safer. Although nothing bad is gonna happen. Right?
Wei Xu stared at the front yet couldn't see anything because of the amount of students blocking his way.
He hopped a little but failed to see anything. In the end he gave up when he saw a floating girl moving to his location. Her expression made her look like she was looking for someone.
The girl then saw Wei Xu staring at her. She smiled slightly but Wei Xu couldn't see it due to the sun light blocking her face.
After confirming his location the girl floated away.
"Was that Death?" Wei Xu pondered on the question.
"Big sister? Where!" Shadow came out looking excited. He looked around trying to find his big sister yet couldn't, confusing him.
"She already went away." Wei Xu said.
"Too bad." The spirit became sad not being able to see his sister, in the end he disappear from sight.
He didn't actually disappear but just went into Wei Xu mind. As for how he does that, Wei Xu did not know nor did he ask the spirit how he does it.
"Okay kiddos! Today is you're first day of training." A man with a faintly dark appearance shouted gaining the attention of all the students.
"We will first be starting with a warm up!" The man shouted once more as he then began performing some stretches attentively.
"Wait!!!" Everyone was about to follow the man with a dark appearance when a woman came up screaming.
"You good for nothing don't you know the students must be line up in an orderly manner?! The boys must be at the front while the girls at the back!"
"Huh! What kind of crap is this!" The man looked at the woman weirdly, "its not like these students are going to have sex. They aren't even naked!"
"..."
Everyone at the scene looked at the man with an disgusted expression. The woman who came not bothering to hide her disgust at the man as well.
"Get off!" She told the man as he inclined while geowling.
"Okay kids you know what to do." She started speaking to the students as they all began moving. The boys went at the front while the girls at the back. The girls seeing this sighed with relief but the boys became dispirited clearly they expected to see a fine show.
The training began as the students followed the teacher movement.
At first the exercise was easy but then it began to get harder and harder. The boys became sweaty showing they couldn't carry on any longer.
The girls though held no such struggle. They easily did all the stretches perfectly. Clearly showing off their flexibility.
Although the boys couldn't see what the girls did, from the female teacher praise they could tell they were doing fine.
But with praises came curses. The teacher began making a fuss about how the boys couldn't do such simply stretches.
"Si- Simply?" The boys became speechless. Never expecting the teacher to be so biased toward females.
Wei Xu was doing far better than the other boys but doing better doesn't mean he finds the stretches easy to do. Even he was rather shocked by how biased the teacher is. "What an bias teacher but is the reason I find this training not that hard because of my training back at the family or my flexibility stat?" He mumbled to himself while doing the stretches.
The female students also notice how biased this teacher was yet didn't complain instead they enjoyed it.
An hour pasted and the exercise was finally over. The boys all fell inert to the ground, gasping for breath.
"Well done everyone! Especially you girls!" The teacher smiled while wiping her face a little with a handkerchief that she took out from her pocket.
Suddenly a box came popping out from each student feet.
"These are Replenishing Drinks, they will allow you to quickly recover your strength as long as you never used mana." The female teacher said in a cold tone as there seem to be some cheaters who actually used their mana to do the stretches.
"Anyways. Now that the training is over, you all will be engaging in a 1 verses 1 battles." Another box came out of the ground yet this time it was a bit bigger.
In the box lay a weapon for everyone. In Wei Xu box lay a long sword.
Wei Xu took out the long sword. It felt rather old as if it would snap in half when it collide with anything.
"I'm sure you all can tell that these weapons durability are rather weak. That's because we purposely made them as so."
"In the fight whoever weapon remains unbroken will become the winner. Meaning, if your weapon is to break you lose."
"Now to avoid you all from not participating. We all assign you to a number. It can be seen on your shirt." Wei Xu look on his shirt and surely enough, he saw a number in black.
413
"When you hear your number please come up to the stage. Also remember this! The use of mana is prohibited in this match. This is to purely test your fighting style and strength." She said in a serious voice.
"Oh and you better put your all into the fight because this little test will determine what grade you will be going into the next term." The teacher winked to the crowd as she began calling numbers.
"Number two hundred and seven and number fifty-one."
"Number twenty and number three hundred and five."
There are currently five hundred students in the first year. Making Wei Xu think this little duel may just take all day.
"Number one hundred and thirteen and number seventy-five."
Number one hundred and thirteen came walking up on the stage. He looked around in the crowd until his eyes landed on Wei Xu.
"Professor could I make an exception?" The boy asked the teacher who stood next to him.
"And what may that be?"
"I have someone I would like to fight. Will you allow it?" The boy smiled causing Wei Xu to think something isn't right.
"Who may that be?" The teacher rarely see new students having someone they would like to fight causing her to be interest.
"I would like to fight Wei Xu! The incompetent boy!!!" He shouted as he point his finger onto to Wei Xu.
