Everyone in the martial arts ss were cheerful because today was the day they were all going toplete thest part of the physical training.


    "What do you think he''s going to give us today?" Dn asked Luis as they both headed to ss.


    "I don''t know, maybe tell us to climb to the moon," Luis said with sarcasm.


    "You know that''s not possible."


    "You know that''s impossible."


    "So are many of the things he has told us to do."


    "But we did them so that makes them possible."


    In ss today after the lessons Miss Nicole had an important message for the students.


    "At the end of the month, there will be apetition between all thebat sses, to know which ss is performing better.


    "It''s a fightingpetition so I advise you all to try your best."


    ''Yeah, and we haven''t even started any normal training yet.'' E thought.


    ''I think you guys have the highest chance of winning.'' Jasmine said.


    E chuckled in her thoughts. "Have you seen the other sses train?''


    ''No.'' Jasmine said.


    ''Then don''t make any conclusions yet.''


    After ss students went for their lunch and now it was time for theirbat sses.


    "Finally let''s get this over with," Dn said as the group of four headed to thebat ss.


    "Like you will survive," Silvia said. "You''ve barely made it through all the other training sessions."


    Dn shut his mouth as he bent his head and walked ahead of the others.


    "Why do you like being harsh?" E asked, giving her a scolding look.


    "What? I told him the truth, like most of you would hide it from him, tell him the truth, and let him improve." She said looking towards Luis.


    "But he has been improving," E said.


    "It''s still not enough if we are going to be a team tomorrow."


    Now they knew what Silvia was trying to say, thepetition between thebat sses was uing and she didn''t think that Dn would be any useful like this.


    When they got to the ss they could see that Michael was already there along with the two from the A-ss, Dn who had walked ahead because of Silvia''s harsh words was also there.


    They all had their eyes on something and that was the six pairs of strange-looking devices that were on the table behind Michael.


    "Good morning students." Michael greeted the students.


    "Good morning." They all chorused.


    "I guess you are wondering what this is," Michael said, picking up one of the devices which looked like a small rectangr screen with a headphone and strap.


    "This is a VR headset which is going to be essential for the final part of your training."


    The students couldn''t believe it, this man was totally unpredictable, they had expected something like doubling the ones they already did every day or climbing the moon like Luis said or something extremely hard not to y with a VR headset.


    "VR is an acronym for Virtual Reality." Michael continued. "Now these VR headsets have been programmed to create virtual demons but for today you will be dealing with the weakest ones."


    After the exnation, Michael told them all to pick a headset and theny on the floor before putting it on.


    "Why do we have to lie down?" Henry asked.


    "Because it stops your physical body from making any movement."


    Everyone put on their headset and all it remained was for Michael to activate it.


    "Remember fighting in your mind is different from fighting in Physical form, it requires a lot of concentration," Michael said.


    Before pushing the button he had one more thing to tell them.


    "And we are talking about a hundred demons here."


    "What?" Dn was the only one to react but before he could say anything else, Michael had pushed the button on the remote in his hand.


    A blue light shone in front of their screens as their whole body went limp.


    Michael didn''t tell them but the main point of this training was to fight demon possession.


    When a demon possesses someone, he would have to fight that person in his or her mind to take over his consciousness and if the demon wins it takes over that person''s consciousness.


    That was the essence of this training to teach the students how to fight in their subconscious.


    "A hundred freaking demons." Was the first thing Dn said after he appeared in apletely white room.


    He was just d that he didn''t appear amid the demons first.


    Soon the others began to appear in the same white room.


    "This is so cool," Monica said.


    "Very cool," Henry said.


    [ Your first fight will be together ]


    [ Would you like to proceed? ]


    [ Yes/No ]


    The message had appeared on all of their screens and Luis made sure they were all seeing what he was seeing and it wasn''t just him this time.


    "Yes." They muttered.


    [ All yers must proceed at the same time ]


    Everyone turned to the far end to see that Dn hadn''t clicked yes.


    "C''mon Dn it''s a group fight, nobody is getting hurt," Monica said with a low tone.


    ''Does she even talk to me like that?'' Henry thought.


    The reason Dn wasn''t clicking yes wasn''t just because he was afraid, it was because he was wondering if the demons would be six hundred now that they were going in a group.


    If that was the case, he couldn''t imagine how terrifying that would be.


    "Weakling," Silvia muttered.


    "Hey," E said.


    Monica''s words were enough to call Dn back to his senses as clicked yes along with everyone else.


    After clicking yes their background began to change from the white space to what they could describe as a desert with a very high mountain behind them.


    "Who even created this thing?" Monica was the only one in the group who couldn''t hide her excitement.


    "Where are the demons?" E asked.


    As if triggered by her question they started hearing thumping sounds on the ground and looking far ahead they could see what looked like a horde of demons.


    "Get ready everyone," Monica said.


    [ Please choose your weapon ]


    The screen appeared in front of them again but this time with varieties of weapons for them to choose from.


    There were swords, axes, clubs, spears, and many more.


    Everyone went for the weapons of their choice ording to their soul weapons and Luis picked a sword named the ming sword, it looked like any normal long sword with a red hilt and a me sign embedded in it but Luis thought that something had to be special about the sword.


    As the demons got close everyone readied their weapon and waited for the call from Monica who seemed to have assumed the leadership role.


    The demons were closing in on them but with one swing of her whip towards the demons the whip returned with a demon''s head which soon vanished.


    "Now!"
