It has been a few weeks since the training camp had started, both boys and girls had gone through rough amounts of training, especially the boys. They partook in combat training in intense colds and heat, at times they even jogged through the entire training grounds non stop while carrying heavy objects without energy in order to boost their physical strength. Aside from all this, the boys had also gone through gun training and learned how to shoot more accurately while taking orders, they also trained in charging up their energy for long periods of times in order to boost endurance and their energy reserves. In the training grounds, Yuji sprawled on the floor, he was tired and exhausted with sweat dropped down his head "Damn! Give me a break already! I've gone through a lot of training from grandpa, but this is devastating.", White who sat beside him added "Yeah, you've got a point. Usually I trained under hot and cold conditions when it came down to my sword skills, but even I'm tired.". Kazuma sat down, clearly tired "We've been doing this for three weeks straight. They made us carry heavy objects and jog around with them all over the training fields. Our bodies are strong even without energy, but this is actually killing me.", Kito took a sigh as he sat on the grass "Not to mention the heavy weight lifting we've been doing, along side the combat training we've been enduring for days now.", Volt added to the conversation "For me, the most insane training so far has to be the endurance one's.". Kito, Yuji, White and Kazuma looked at Volt, he was actually the only one who was standing "Making us stay under cold waterfalls, giving us combat training in the extreme heat and making us do excersises were just the worst.", Kazuma responded "What do you think we've been saying the entire time, Volt?". Volt smiled faintly "Sorry, I just wanted to say that I'm more worn out by the endurance rather than the combat excersises we've been doing the entire time.". Kito asked "Now that I think of it, you're the only one who's still standing straight among all of us, you really do have endurance.", Volt smiled softly as he looked at Kito "You think so? Thanks.", Yuji smiled softly as well "What's got you so excited?". Volt replied "Nothing really, it's just that I'm happy to be with you guys. To be honest, I was actually scared of not being able to talk to you guys at all. I thought that if I made friends with other people here, I'd forget about being friends with you guys.", Kazuma smirked "Really? You felt that way? I mean, hanging out with other set of kids would be cool, but I wouldn't forget about you all. Although, let's just say lm more than happy to be with you guys too.". Kito and Yuji stared at Kazuma with suspicion "Really? You're going to look at me like that because of I said something sappy?", Kazuma asked. Kito and Yuji responded "Yes, yes we are.", Kazuma sighed "Ah you all can be a pain.". White scoffed with a soft smile "Doesn't matter, we've been able to get along just fine without any problems. We didn't get ourselves into too many problems, and we've gone along with the rules. Even if we did make other friends, we'd still make time to see each other.". Kito, Kazuma, Yuji and Volt scoffed "Yeah.". Kazuma turned to Kito "By the way, have you heard from Baroka?", he asked, Kito replied "Yep, I have. We've been catching up for a while now, he says he's been training with Rem non-stop.", Volt smiled faintly "Training with Rem non-stop, huh. That's good, she's still keeping herself sharp. At first I thought that the fact that I'd limited my communication with Rem would have affected her, but it looks like she's still her usual self. Good for her", Volt thought to himself. One of the camp supervisors called out to the boys "Alright boys, go back to your dorms.", all the boys replied "Yes sir.". As the boys were walking, Kazuma asked "Hey, Kito. How's the gun training you've been giving yourself? You do practice a lot with those elemental guns of yours.", Kito smirked and explained "Yeah. At first I thought i wouldn't have time to train with them, but it turns out that I did have time for them. I've been practicing with my ice guns, lightning gun and flame guns. After I'm done with them, I'll start using the bigger one's I made.", Kazuma smirked "Cool.". Meanwhile, at the girls dorms, Mio, Gwen and Celina we're changing, while Regina, Yuki and Racheal were coming out of the bathroom. Yuki exclaimed softly "Mhhhm. I really did have a nice bath, got that ability to wash off all that dirt off from training.", Gwen looked at her "You're fund of being extremely lazy after taking baths, I'm glad you don't do that before you do any work.", Yuki added as she walked to her wardrobe "Yeah, well what can I say? I'm just lazy.", Gwen muttered "A lazy little monster. That's for sure.", Racheal walked to her wardrobe to get changed, Gwen did the same. Mio on the other hand who was changing, said "It's been a few weeks since we got here, right? It's kind of odd how time flies." Regina responded "Right? Although, it's been slow for others. The training we've endured till now is actually surprisingly heavy on us.", Racheal asked "Really? Most of the training we've had for the most part were just fighting against robots and actively working together to kill beast.", Mio thought for a moment "Yeah, that's right. The supervisors of the camp usually brought beasts from the forest and made it a mission for us to get them in a cage.", Regina spoke "Luckily, there were safety precautions.". Gwen looked at Celina who's been sitting on her bed the entire time "How did you view the training experience so far, Celina?", Celina looked at Gwen and took a moment to think "Personally, they made the training a lot more practical. And to be honest, I like it that way. Unlike the boys who had more manual training.". Gwen thought to herself "That's true.", Mio said "Speaking of boys.....", she started to get scared as she exclaimed "We haven't spoken to them like we usually do! Normally, I'd talk to Kazuma everyday, but now we only speak on the phone, and that's twice in a week. And I haven't made fun of Yuji in three whole weeks! I'm scared!", Yuki sighed "You really do like Kazuma very much, huh.". Yuki explained "Kito and I saw each other last week, although we talk more on the phone now.", Regina added "Same here, I missed Yuji so much to the point i hugged him althrough the period we hung out.". Racheal sighed "Same thing goes for me and White.", Gwen sighed with jealousy "Hm!", she looked a bit guilty on remembering what White told her last week as they stood together "Look Gwen, that Fred guys is fucking scum. I understand you like him, but you've got to call him to his senses.". Gwen snapped out of the flashback and thought to herself "I haven't had the opportunity to talk to Fred in a while. I have seen him from a distance a couple times, but that's about it. Fred, I don't know what's going on with you, but please be good.".
