Chereads / Shadow Slave: The Great Hunt / Chapter 15 - A Phenomenon

Chapter 15 - A Phenomenon

The next day started with soreness and the strange feeling of being in the wrong body and the feeling of ticklish and weird sensation all over his body.

And he looked down to see feathers muttered all over his bed and the taters of cloth.

Did I transform in my sleep?

He also noticed that his hand and feet were in the now familiar hybrid form as he thought of it.

I need to get a control of this power and ask from new blankets. It makes me wonder what I dreamed of.

But thinking back he just sighed, resting his head back on the feather smeared pillow and sighing fully unprepared for the surely long day that would be before him.

He also prepared himself for a grueling 4 weeks of which he had only passed one day of.

Getting up he heard cracks and snaps stretching enjoying th satisfaction of the sore muscles that enjoyed being freed of their prison of sleep.

In that moment he had the strangest inclanation, to run and keep running till he found wilderness and lose himself in the revelry of being fully transformed and just live on as a pather slowly building strength.

Shaking his head from those thoughts he took a shower putting on a well fitting pair of athletic pants and a tank-top resigning himself to find a place to run because he seemed to have energy and he had heard that it was good for ones mental health.

He did this because he woke up about three hours before breakfast would be ready and his day would officially start.

Surprisingly easily he found a door labled 'Gym/Training rooms' and opening it he was surprised to see that there was a fair few Sleepers and even some Awakened instructors already there in the state of the art equipment.

Speaking of Awakened he was surprised to see his "Teacher" lifting an inhuman amount of weight in what from his limited amount of knowledge seemed to be a bench press machine

Looking for a treadmill he set it to an uncomfortably high setting and attempting to turn off his mind started to run.

Not unlike other times with fear or because he had to unlike the previous day, no he ran because in that moment something in him need to.

Progressly turning up the speed he came to a sprint and just stayed there pushing his body farther and farther he kept the speed increasing his legs like the falls of a titan atleast to his ears as he ket pushing that limit.

In the end he slowed it down till the treadmill came to a stop noticing that the once full gym seemed to be mostly deserted and a bell rang signalling the one hour till breakfast mark.

Well that definitely reasleased some steam for me, I hope this isn't an every morning sort of deal because if so I'm gonna make the government bankrupt with all the blankets I'm using.

Taking a light jog through the corridors he quickly made his way to his now almost familiar room, really his first ever room.

Looking at his bed he was surprised to see a completely new set of bedding foldeed neatly at the foot of his bed, not a trace of the old feathers or tattered clothing.

Narrowing he looked around the room in suspicion, deciding that there was no hidden lurkers he made his way to the bedding quickly making his bed and taking another deliciously hot shower.

As he made his way to the breakfast area he sat at his same table this time joined by Nephis for some odd reason who didn't seem any more enthused to participate in conversation than the rest of table.

He looked outside a seemingly real window to see the view of snowflakes falling from the sky a sight that never failed to put a smile on his face and a pep in his step as he made his way to wilderness survival this tiem noticeably early.

Wilderness survival as per usual seemed to make his brain hurt as the overload of information became more in depth this time.

They focused on how to find and prepare food including several hands-on workshops which fro him ended in as many burnt krisps as edible meals, Sunny of the other hand seemed to be a natural- he should really consider a future in being a shef.

Of course because of his status as a wielder of a Divine Aspect he had a feeling that his opportunities to pursue such an existence would be virtually non existent and only come if something very unlucky or lucky happened.

After lunch he once again went to follow the mysterious man though this time they quickly stopped at a private training room.

Once inside the man said.

"Most days you will be with me every other you will spend in the combat class this will hopefully be a consistent schedule but I can promise nothing as you may know nothing is expected when Awakened are involved."

"I understand Sir."

Looking around he could see a similar scene to that of the training room that he shared with Nephis yesterday.

"What do you want out of this training, I wish I could teach you all I know but we have very limited time and I am not that good,"

"I think my biggest weakness is that I won't be able to reach my opponent."

Smiling genuinely the man responded in kind

"That's the right answer and to work on that we must first account for your current reach."

As Teacher led him to the center of the circle a training dummy man of what looked to be straw but was infact very tough came up through the bottom of the ground.

He proceed to do a series of attacks some from stand some form a crouch and even attempted pouncing a skill that he had yet to master or enven be that proficient in.

"Ok That's enough, here's what we will work on in the coming weeks."
