After registering himself as part of the sect, Kyle was taken to the canteen to eat by Brandon. There, they encountered Chin and Lin who were arguing about who was to take lead on their next mission since their captain was away on a secret mission.
After a lot of argument, Kyle came up with a suggestion that they should both duel it out and the winner would take charge. They both agreed and decided to head to the training grounds by noon for the duel.
Kyle was being escorted by Brandon to where he would be staying during his time in the base. On the way there, Kyle had a question.
"Since I will be here for a long time, do you mind explaining the sect's hierarchy and what secret mission were those two talking about?" Kyle asked Brandon.
"Well, since you would soon be a full fledged warrior, I'm allowed to tell you this much." Brandon said.
"The sect's hierarchy is not that complicated. The sect's hierarchy in total is four position."
"The first position is a recruit just like you. These people would be trained rigorously to become a good warrior."
"The second is a squad warrior: after completing your 6 months training, you would be put in to a squad as a full fledged warrior and you can also go out to hunt beasts with your squad. Those two you saw in the canteen earlier, they were full fledged warriors."
"The third position is a captain: Just like me, after a certain amount of time and show of strength, you would be promoted to the position of a captain and you can choose some recruits that have just become a warrior to be part of your squad."
"The last position is that of a master: these are the leaders of the sect. And mind you, do not do anything to upset the masters otherwise you won't know how your life ended." Brandon said looking at Kyle sternly which caused a shiver to run down Kyle's spine.
"And about your question about the secret mission, if I were to tell you, it won't be a secret anymore. Besides, even full fledged warriors do not know what the secret mission is about and what made you think that as a recruit you can know."
"All I can tell you is that the masters assign the secret mission. And if you want more information about it, then climb up the ranks and become a captain." Brandon said and then he stopped in front of a door.
He then allowed Kyle to settle Into the room while Brandon decided to head somewhere but before he left, Kyle called him back.
"Hold on, where is the training grounds? I want to watch the duel that would soon take place so I need to know where it is. And also, when will my training start?"
Brandon explained and directed Kyle towards where the training grounds would be in and he was informed that his two months training would begin the next day.
After Brandon left, Kyle went to the small bed placed in the corner of the room and then he lay down.
"How did my life become like this?" Kyle said out loud. "From working in a huge company and earning millions and also sleeping in a king sized bed to leaving in a cottage then coming to train in a base that's located in the forest in order to hunt beasts."
Kyle sighed in frustration. "System, how am I going to get strong?"
{By completing quests}
{And speaking of quests, you have just completed your quests.}
"Huh?" Kyle said as he got up. "Pull up my status screen."

"Woah! Now that's what I'm talking about." Kyle said smiling excitedly. "I can't wait to get started but that will have to wait till when I have started my training."
"It's just a matter of time before I grow strong enough to take revenge. Muahahaha." Kyle laughed and then he went to get a shut eye before the duel that was to happen.
After some minutes of sleeping, Kyle woke up eager to watch the duel that was about to take place and to hopefully gain knowledge from watching two full fledged warriors fight.
After exiting his room, Kyle followed Brandon's directions about where the training grounds would be. The whole lower floor of the base was so huge and wide with multiple rooms and sharp corners that someone could get lost in.
Which begged the question about how the whole structure was built especially with the technologies that Kyle noticed could have been from Earth or a well developed planet.
After a few minutes of walking, Kyle was already in front of the door that led one to the training grounds and before he entered, he was already hearing loud noises from inside from multiple people.
"I hope I haven't missed the fight yet." Kyle said as he pushed the door open to see a room full of warriors of different age and sizes cheering loudly at two men in the middle who Kyle could recognize.
And then Kyle saw Captain Brandon in the middle of them. Apparently as a referee of some sorts.
"Before you both engage, listen to the rules clearly." Brandon declared and the whole crowd fell silent trying to listen to the rules including Kyle who was staring at Brandon that strangely still had his mask on.
"The rules are: you would stop attacking when your opponent forfeits or looses consciousness. No use of the special techniques, you will only rely on your weapon skills as well as your strength."
"This is also a chance for you to grow as a warrior and not rely on the special techniques. Okay?" Brandon asked and they both nodded.
"Great. Withou
t further ado, let the duel begin." Brandon said as he swung his hand that was lifted up down.
