After writing every important thing about the novel, I double-checked the contents if anything was wrong or left out in the writing, and after some checks, I finally finished writing the book which took way more time than expected.
It was already way past midnight and nearing dawn.
But I can't sleep because it was already nearing the time for classes and today we were going to be assigned to the teams for artificial dungeon classes.
So I took some time to make coffee and drank it in the serene darkness of the night before dawn looking out the academy and its well-arranged infrastructure through the window.
And I saw something unexpected, the shadow was dancing near the garden visible through my balcony under the light, No! wait it was the person moving through the light with a static stance, it was strange.
Well, it was not strange for the person to train at midnight as there are many training maniacs in the academy but it was strange how the person was always static, wait it matches something.
As I saw further I saw some leaves rustle and fall down the tree, and then the person moved like light cutting down all leaves with holiness and precision, it was like a dance.
I was tranced for a split second and when I came to my senses I knew who I was seeing he was the one who will kill me the protagonist Leon with his sword imbued in light elements.
I saw him further as he trained and I have to say even I, who knows only the basics of the sword can tell that what he was doing was both complex and elegant.
I saw him for some more time and got in my room then I also prepared to train myself.
I put my tracks on and got out of the dormitory to head to the training arena, Yes training arenas are open 24/7 for students to train whenever they please.
So why was Leon training in the open, well he does what he does, he is the son of the heaven's he can do the hell he wants.
And why do I care well, because the story needs the protagonist to flow as it should've been for now.
As I made my way to the training arena as I jogged my way there, I took in the greenery around me.
As I come near the arena my jog decelerates to walking as I make my way to the arena gravity chamber.
I set it up to be 5 times the gravity and entered the chamber.
As I entered, pressure that could make me tremble fall upon me, it was hard even to stand up but still I didn't change the setting and persisted, I walked and tried to get used to the pressure.
As the saying goes 'Humans are a creature of adaptation.', I tried to adapt to the 5x gravity, and after persistingly walking I started to jog and after what felt like an eternity but was only 15 minutes of strain I started to run.
The running was slow and stressful and fatigue was overtaking me after just 7 to 8 minutes of running yet still I persisted after 20 minutes mark was crossed I stopped and took deep breaths.
"HUFF! HUFF! HUFF!"
Well, why did I run like a madman in 5x gravity because it activates all muscles in the body by this technique?
"Its weight is the same as my other hand." even if the obsidian hand looked metallic it was still part of me as it had the same weight as the other hand.
Now let's get started.
Yes, that was just a warm-up.
After that, I took out a katana from the stacks upon stacks lined with weapons and took a basic stance, and started to do all basic movements.
Yes, I was going to perfect my basics first without moving to techniques and this is all every swordsman will tell you.
And after that, there were just the swings of the sword.
After one hour*
"HUFF! HUFF! HUFF! HUFF!"
There was the man on the training ground huffing sweat filled yet swinging the sword and yes that was me.
"DING!"
As I put the sword back in the stacks and made my way out of the chamber after quitting the setting, I felt light, so light that i thought i will start to fly any second but i knew it was just an illusion.
I didn't mind it much and made my way to the benches across the training arena, as it was just 52 minutes before the start of the class not many people were present, so I made myself comfortable on the bench and after some minutes drank the water, it was like a river flowing through the parched land as I drank a full bottle of one liter without stopping.
Then I checked my smartwatch for the inevitable and there it was the message stating the information about the team I was in.

"_"
This is what I was trying to stop.
There were a total of 10 teams from one class, but still i ended up with them.
"Haaaaaaa!" I already feel like I aged a lot in these short two or three days.
'Well what has happened has already happened let's get ready for the classes', I thought as I made my way out of the training arena and to the dormitory to make my way to the classes.
When I was done with bathing, dressing, and breakfast it was already time to make my way to the academy so without second thought's about escaping from the academy I made my way to the academy classes, and as before I took the seat near the window at the back of the academy.
And waited patiently for all cadets and the instructors to arrive and it didn't take long for them to arrive after all the cadets including the protagonist and the main cast have arrived, the right timing when 7 o'clock ticked Miss Eyre arrived.
"BANG!!"
As the door opened with a bang, Miss Eyre approached the podium, after placing both hands on the podium.
"Now let's start the classes!."
