Day 1;
Upon reaching the designated training grounds, Vice Captain Evan Hans Estounberg wasted no time in asserting his authority over the trainees.
Standing tall amidst the gathered crowd, his voice boomed across the open field as he addressed them with unwavering command.
"All trainees, listen to my command!"
His voice thundered, cutting through the air with authority.
"From this day forward, I will serve as your combat instructor alongside the knights".
"You will heed our instructions without question, for disobedience will not be tolerated!"
The trainees, standing at attention, responded in unison, their voices echoing across the training grounds.
"Loud and clear, sir!"
With a nod of approval, the vice-captain continued, his orders precise and unwavering.
"Begin by chopping wood and constructing shelters".
"Each shelter must accommodate precisely ten individuals, and I expect them to be completed by sunrise!"
With a sense of urgency, the trainees swiftly organized themselves into squads, wielding axes and swords provided by the knights.
Under the watchful eye of their advisors, they set to work, the sound of wood being cleaved filling the air.
Meanwhile, the knights mobilized, each taking charge of fifteen squads and forming companies.
With purposeful strides, they moved to establish the central camp, setting up shelters and barricades to delineate the training grounds.
As the day progressed, the training camp took shape, with three distinct circles emerging to define its layout.
In the center stood the vice-captain's quarters, surrounded by the shelters of the fifteen platoons.
Beyond them, a larger perimeter was formed by the remaining squads, creating a formidable boundary that marked the outer limits of the camp.
With the framework of the camp established, the true trials of training were set to begin, as trainees and knights alike prepared to embark on their journey of growth and discipline.
As the second day dawned upon the training camp, the trainees were roused from their slumber by the clanging of swords, signaling the start of another challenging day.
Bleary-eyed and groggy, they stumbled out of their shelters, their minds still fogged by sleep.
"All trainees, gather around!"
The advisors' voices cut through the early morning air, commanding attention as the trainees hastily assembled before them.
Those who were tardy faced swift retribution, forced to perform squats with heavy stones as punishment for their lateness.
Once the trainees were assembled, Vice Captain Evan Hans Estounberg addressed them with unwavering authority.
"Good morning, newbies! Shake yourselves up while I explain your tasks for today!"
Eager to shake off their drowsiness, the trainees engaged in various exercises to wake themselves up, their movements swift and determined.
"Now listen up," the vice-captain continued, his voice commanding the attention of all present.
"Your task for today is to hunt for your own food.
Keep what you catch safe, for you never know when your rations might disappear!"
With a wave of his torch, he issued the trainees their instructions.
"Each squad will be given only two torches".
"It's up to you to get creative with how you use them".
"By sunrise, you should have caught, cooked, and eaten your fill".
"Now, go and divide your tasks!"
With a sense of purpose, the trainees dispersed, their squads quickly organizing themselves and assigning roles to each member.
As the sun began to rise, the camp was a hive of activity, with trainees venturing into the wilderness in search of sustenance, determined to fulfill their mission and prove themselves worthy of the challenges ahead.
As the sun rose, casting its golden rays across the training camp, the trainees gathered once more in their shelters to cook the bountiful spoils of their hunt.
Deer, fish, boar, wild chickens, and even a monkey adorned the makeshift cooking fires, filling the air with savory aromas.
Assigning guards to watch over their precious stocks, the trainees ate heartily, replenishing their strength for the trials that lay ahead.
Vigilant against potential theft, they remained on high alert, ensuring that their hard-earned provisions remained secure.
With their meal finished, the vice-captain's swords once again rang out, signaling the start of another grueling day of training.
As the trainees assembled before their advisors, the vice-captain's voice boomed with authority.
"Today, we begin the harshest training you will ever face!
I don't want to hear complaints!
Do you understand!?"
His words echoed across the camp, met with a resounding chorus of "Sir! Yes, sir!" from the trainees.
With the tasks outlined, the vice-captain instructed the knights to lead their companies in the rigorous exercises.
Push-ups runs, Tree Climbing, Martial Arts, squats, pull-ups, mud crawls with sharp stones, and river crossings with boulders awaited the trainees, each challenge designed to push them to their limits and forge them into formidable warriors.
With determination etched on their faces, the trainees set about their tasks, their bodies straining against the physical demands placed upon them.
Under the watchful eyes of their advisors, they pushed themselves to the brink, knowing that only through perseverance and endurance could they hope to emerge victorious in the trials that lay ahead.
As the trainees pushed themselves to their limits, their bodies strained under the relentless demands of their training regimen.
Groans of exhaustion filled the air as one trainee, overcome by fatigue, collapsed to the ground.
The knights swiftly reported the situation to the vice-captain, who, unfazed, instructed them to arrange for medical assistance while emphasizing the importance of continuing with the training.
Despite the setbacks, the trainees persevered, their determination unwavering as they faced each new challenge.
Their efforts bore fruit as they adapted to the rigors of their training, their bodies growing accustomed to the physical strain with each passing day.
Within weeks, their morning routines became more efficient, with fewer trainees succumbing to exhaustion.
As physical transformations became evident, laughter and camaraderie filled the training grounds.
Yohan, in particular, exuded joy as he marveled at his newfound vitality and strength. His laughter echoed through the group, sparking curiosity among his fellow trainees.
With a proud flex of his muscles, Yohan boasted of the benefits of their rigorous training, inspiring his comrades to push themselves further.
Gyarghh!! See these Muscles? Gahaha
Encouraged by Yohan's example, the trainees embraced the challenge with renewed vigor, their competitive spirits driving them to excel.
Racing against each other, they pushed themselves to be the strongest among their peers, their determination shining through in every exercise.
Meanwhile, the knights observed the trainees' progress with a mix of concern and admiration.
As reports of their newfound motivation reached the vice-captain, he greeted the news with delight, seeing it as a sign of their growing strength and resilience.
Determined not to be outdone by their trainees, the knights resolved to join them in their intense workouts, ensuring that they would lead by example and uphold the honor of their order.
