The next morning Revan was finally back with all of the materials and they got straight to work. Revan dropped the basket as usual and handed out meals for everyone. "Eat as much as you need, I'll be bringing more food when our 1 month of hellish training begins. You'll need it to adapt and overcome your current limitations. Once you're done eating you should get over and help me build the rest of the fighting rings. Once all the rings are made you guys can start sparring again. We only have a few days left until our free sparring is done. This sparring will also condition your body somewhat and it will prepare you for the next month of hell. Let's get to work!"
The kids had their fills and a good bunch of them finished eating their meals pretty quickly. Kai and Rei were in the group as well and they both finished pretty early. The group came over and started helping while the others were still filling their faces. After some time the fighting rings were finished and everyone was training once again.
Revan relaxed and laid back, "Business as usual, aren't my parents supposed to be coming back soon? I also have that martial tournament I can work towards....."
Revan watched and observed until the sun came down. He packed his stuff up and made his way back home once again for a good night of rest. For the next few days the antics were the same. Recently, Revan has been adding extra food and jogging back and forth in the mornings to keep his strength from deteriorating. After such a long wait... it was finally the second last day of sparring and Revan was quite intrigued.
He spoke to himself, "I didn't expect such a large turnout. We started with less than 100 students and as the other villages came we added on another couple hundred. Now..... by now I think that almost all of the villages in the wastelands came here. Honestly, if these people had time to grow and build they would be a force only slightly smaller than 3 Peaks. However.... these villagers are untrained and unskilled. I'll try to help the wastelands level up. The first thing they need is a promising future and power is quite important for that in this world. I can teach them how to fight and defend themselves from bandits but that is all I can do for now."
