Chapter 6 - Chapter 7

The many children recruits were thrown into brutal training right from the beginning of their entry into the newly made division within the Vodka Kingdom.

Many children of differing ages, genders, and sizes were following the guidance of the soldiers with Captain Rich overseeing them.

Not everyone could keep up with the training and broke either physically or mentally while some weaker and vulnerable children became prey for the stronger children.

The supplies given to support them were mainly second-hand goods and things that had been considered trash to others which included whatever clothing, equipment, and food they used.

There were a couple of children who formed groups or used their advantages over others to take other's rations.

It was not enforced since the program did not interfere with such things and it was better if the strongest and most talented among the children were able to establish their presence quickly or be able to overcome any difficulties.

Once they would be thrown into danger, they could not afford to rely on the help of the adults all of the time.

During the drills and training provided each of them learned the kingdom's most used fighting style that was not limited to hand-to-hand combat, grappling, knife fighting, and firearms training.

Their training involved drills and sparring without set kata or forms so most of the sparring was usually quite rough and there could be some injuries gained if taken too far.

The style was natural and free while having no strict rules, rigid structure, or limitations (except for moral ones).

All tactics were based on instinctive reactions, individual strengths, and characteristics, specifically designed for fast learning.

The spirit or psychological state had to be calm, and free of anger, irritation, fear, self-pity, delusion, and pride which the adult-minded Tanya was able to excel at.

Facing a taller male opponent, she rolled under their high kick then launched her legs up to complete a waist grab with them and brought herself up to punch their face.
