Currently within the training grounds, two separate groups continued to train vigorously in the cold foggy morning without break as the immense heat and exhaustion ran them ragged.
Though it did not break their spirit, no matter how they felt, nobody wanted to stop for a moment, mostly in fear of their masters watching them closely.
While both groups trained diligently, one particular person were not exactly performing to the standard they expected of them.
"What the hell are you doing, Benedict?!"
Kage cursed aloud at Ben, before striking him hard across the top of his head, enough to make Ben stumble for a bit before crumbling down from the pain.
He rubbed his head to soothe the pain from the hit, trying to contain the emotions that wanted to let loose.
Ben had never been hit with that level of power by anyone so far that he wanted to cry from the throbbing pain going through his mind and head.
