4 Basic Training part 1 (1/2)

When Bhirl and Rahz arrived to the training grounds, the teachers were already there and were talking amoung themselves.There were 4 trainers specialized in the different paths as well as an elder supervising the overall training.

The training for the new awakens consisted of a 3 month boot camp to help them assimilate to the warrior life as well as to teach them the basics of fighting with their respective abilities.The first part of the training consisted in athletics such as running, lifting, Martial arts and finally sparring.

Rahz age group will only had to do two laps around the village which represented about 20 miles.There was no time limit for them at the beginning since they need it to get used to the regiment.

Once the laps were completed, they proceeded to carry buckets full of water from the river to the village for the various uses of the community.After they finished with their previous tasks, they were trained in barbarian fighting tactics before sparring with each other.

The second part of the training was focus on developing their paths towards the respective classes.This included the use of their respective weapons.Since the use of energy was very limited at the early levels, Each and every fighter need it to learn how to use their weapon of choice whether it was the shield and sword, two handed weapons or single handed weapons.

” Before we begin todays training lets welcome our new awakened” said the elder.

Clap .... Clap

” Teachers, please help them familiarized themselves with the training.It is imperative to remember that we are all part of the same family known as Hellgahvall.Striking another with the intension of causing irreparable harm will be severely punish”.

”That being said, hard work will never go un rewarded.There will be plenty of rewards for those of you that excel in the different modalities of training.Hopefully, the skills that we teach you helps each and every one of you to survive in the wilderness where there is danger in every corner.Now go and make us proud”.

With their fighting spirit ignited, everyone started the morning run.Rahz thought that with all the previous training he had done at home he would excel at all the modalities but he was sadly mistaken.Very soon he realized that not even Bhirl could keep up with the scouts.Once awakened the scouts' agility had gone through the roof and they were super fast.Rahz only consolation was that the healers seemed to be struggling more than the warriors were.

For the second event, it was the warriors time to shine.Carryingbuckets full of water to the village relied on strength and stamina something that they did not lack at all.Each trainee had to do about 10 trips to the village carrying buckets weighting about 50 pounds.

In the martial arts portion of the training they learned hand to hand combat.They teamed up in groups of 2 andpracticed attacking and defending the technique being taught.Once everyone developed some proficiency in the martial art technique of the day, they will form a circle and spar against each other.

The sparring was no holds barred and the only two conditions were that everyone had to fight at least one time and they could not use any class abilities.Rahz believed that he could easily beat anybody but Bhirl inside the ring.He easily learned the technique during the martial arts portion of the training and was eager to put it into practice.Rahz jump to the arena first and while looking at the crowed said, ” I am taking all challengers, so who wants some of this? anyone but Bhirl. don't be shy”.Everyone rolled their eyes after hearing Rahz speech.What a cocky bastard thought the elder that was supervising the matches.

After a couple of seconds of silence a skinny youth named Arne moved to the center of the arena.Arne had long arms and legs and had opted for the scout path with the intention of becoming a rogue.His long Arms coupled with the agility boost from scout path gave Arne the advantage in speed and reach.

When the fight started, Rahz didn't have the time to get into a fighting stance before he felt a sharp pain in his left leg.It was the fighting technique learned in class that same day, a kick to the leg followed by a big hook.
