Can they say they wished they suspected his majesty Landon did this knowing they would suffer?


    Timothy and the others had bitter expressions the longer the days went.


    At first, despite their obedience on the surface, they were very aggrieved and full of stubbornness at heart.


    F***!


    Do you know how many years people of their status have felt this way?


    Why... thest time they were treated like newbies was when they were way younger, around ages 7~10.


    So one can imagine how much unwillingness people who stand at the top have when told to run on their 2nd day in their current states.


    Dammit!


    Many swore to only sleep with their clothes on or close by from now on.


    Some even thought the PJs were useless, seeking as they would have to wake up this way every day except Sundays of course.


    What a crazy experience!


    Timothy and the others stayed within the barracks, absorbing the many routines and blending in as beautifully as they could.


    They had to admit that their first week was rough.


    It was also then that they understood just how important it was to follow instructions in this academy.


    Why? Because just like theirmanding officer said earlier, in here he was a God!


    What? Do you want to argue with him when he gives out punishment?


    Don''t be stupid. Gordon once tried that but found that his punishment was quadrupled after speaking back with 4 words.


    No one would be that stupid to speak again.


    And what was up with the crazy exercises here like frog jumps?


    Damn! They had never known their thoughts could get so painful before today.


    It looked easy but was too difficult after a while.


    Their bodies would tremble, their knees would wobble and their bodies would turn so red like juicy plump tomatoes.


    Oh yes!


    One of the most painful but easy-looking tasks asked was to perform aplete military pose for several long minutes.


    Don''t think it looks easy.


    You have to stand upright, chest out, spine straight, hands at attention on one''s side, legs together, and most importantly, head straight too.


    Never in their loved would they have known it would be so difficult to stand in such a position oft too long.


    For the first 3 minutes, they felt almost nothing.


    But the longer the time, the more their bodies trembled and felt like giving up.


    Hell!


    It turned numb, spon feeling as if someone wanted to break their spine into 2.


    After 45 minutes, they dropped to the floor shakingly, still looking at one of their trainers who stood in that pose without flinching.


    Unlike them, he didn''t shake, his hands didn''t move an inch, his eyes remained calm and his body only slightly red.


    Amazing!


    Timothy began doubting his physique after the experience, wondering why he couldn''t go longer.


    Damn, what an experience!


    But that wasn''t all that amazed them about the shared UN Barack they found themselves in.


    For one, the courses here were equally amazing and well organized too.


    From Ethics to health and first aid, to weapon handling (archery, swordsmanship, spears, des), hand-to-handbat, Military strategy 101, Military Law and so on... Timothy found himself assigned to 10 courses this semester.


    Mind you, they also had basic courses like Math 101 and Math 102, as well as Pyron 101 and Zo-Ro 101, which were essentially Zohp and Romanguages.


    at


    Some courses repeated themselves Mondays Wednesdays and Fridays, while some courses repeated themselves on Tuesdays And Thursdays.


    On Saturday, he had just one course, which was an outdoor course.


    The course was essentially Field operations, where they would be ced in teams, told their identities and allowed to go against each other for a duration.


    Viin vs hero.


    Which side would win?


    Sometimes there were 2 enemy viin teams and only 1 hero team, but just because people are viins didn''t mean they must work together.


    Timothy felt those sses were his best, as he went against bright minds to im victory.


    They used the art of war, and other strategies taught in ss to keep advancing.


    You have to know that during the health and First aid ss, some topics such as identifying poisonous nts were also contributed by many UN empires.


    In that ss, the only thing Baymard mostly contributed was first aid. Everything else was general knowledge that was very vital to many.


    Of course, Baymard also added a few knowledgeable points that many were unaware of concerning the many helpful and poisonous nts out there.


    ---


    For this first week, they had only just begun learning about identifying the nt Leingumiere, a special nt that had a glowy tongue and pollination stick between its petals.


    Only at night would one realize it glowed. Identifying it during the day was also helpful to them as it served as antibiotics when in dire need of medicine.


    Timothy never knew such a nt existed since it wasn''t home to Omania.


    He was shocked how open-natured these UN empires were, allowing everyone to learn nts from other empires.


    This way, if he had a mission to do in an empire with the nt and gets ambushed he could treat himself despite any limited medical supplies.


    Whether it was him, Gordon or Benjamin, the first time they attended the ss, their mouths were open in shock, knowing that such priceless knowledge alone was enough to make them drag their soldiers here for training.


    Say no more!


    They have never seen such an open barrack training camp before.


    You have to know that even within the many other training camps they had seen, such knowledge would be held by the very powerful, refusing to share with those of lower ranks or status.


    Knowledge is gold, and many people don''t want to easily share what they learn, wishing to be seen as unique, lucky or special.


    But here, every soldier was valued and taught the same.


    s...


    Gordon shook his head bitterly, knowing their Soma had a very long way to go.


    In the end, what can they say?


    There was also the Obstacle Course training that left everyone thrilled.


    It was a good way of testing one''s reaction time when dealing with suddenplications.


    Baymard''s motto of; One of all and all for one was also very inspiring.


    Everyone saw how the soldiers helped one another from time to time.


    Even if some conflicts do arise, it wasn''t as brutal as the conflicts in their barracks where people could grab others in hiding ces, beat them to a pulp and even stab some mercilessly until they were crippled.


    No way! If you do that here, you will not only get suspended but might also end up being dismissed too, depending on the severity of the victim''s injury.


    In here there was no ss distinction, just rank and merit distinctions.


    You could be an Earl, a Duke or even a Prince. But so what? What does that have to do with the hellish trainers here?


    Being stubborn would only make the reprimanding 10 times harder. So why bother?


    ---


    All in all, their time spent in District B was amazing. After their Saturday courses, they, in particr, could leave the barracks and return before Dinner time on Sunday.


    Seeing as they were the only ones allowed to do so, many knew they had a special identity but didn''t care.


    What sort of people had they not seen within the barracks?


    Of course, only Timothy, Gordon, Jackson and the other Oma high-rankingmanders and generals were given this privilege.


    The rest of their oma soldiers who came along had to stay here, even if they brought their wives and children with them for this first trip.


    Mind you, they came here as Guards for their masters and were not the true selected Oma soldiers that wouldeter on.


    Just like Timothy, they too followed along into the barracks to understand the difference between Baymard and their Soma empire''s method of training.


    Long story short, they will be staying in the barracks, and would only get to leave once in 2 weeks until Timothy and his group are ready to head back to Soma.


    They weren''t so worried about their families because they were all arranged on the 1st and 2nd floors within one of the pce guest buildings.


    These buildings were designed like hotels, only they were for royal visitors.


    The higher one ascended, the more luxurious the floors.


    As for their families, including Gordon''s, the women weren''t so idle.


    With how long they were staying, being a tourist would eventually be boring.


    Some found part-time jobs at the wildlife resort, others surprisingly, decided to work in uniquely themed cafes, and others, mainly Gordon and a few other noble wives, chose to enter the Academy of Beauty, Fashion & Arts instead.


    Oh, dear!


    It was truly thrilling for them to know what it''s like to attend an academy.


    Only men attend academies, mostly Knighthood academies.


    They have to say that it was thrilling and fun.


    In the academy, they found there were students of all ages there, so they didn''t feel old at all.


    At 29, 31 and even 33, many felt ancient.


    Luckily, they met people even older than them there, and many of their ages too.


    It didn''t take long for them to be friends with some of these people, especially when sharing a dormitory too.


    Wow!


    Academy life sure is fun!


    It made them feel super young again, as they found new passions and hobbies other than attending to their husband''s every need.


    Indeed, the entire experience was pleasant for everyone, including the children who worked very stress-free part-time jobs too.


    They earned their own money and excitedly did shopping, buying new game boys and items they felt they couldn''t live without now.


    In short, everyone''s time in Baymard was aplete sess!


    (^◇^)


    ---


    However, they weren''t the only ones thrilled to the bone.


    Far far away in Ten, many people were smiling heavily, seeing the grounds that were now dyed red.


    "Don''t stop! Keep moving! Victory is almost ours!"
