The Training Day
A day after the announcement, the chosen nemostellars stayed in the medium-size castle which was provided by the king. In there, they got well-treated as if they were also the parts of the royals. Two of them who never felt the luxury in their life were quite amazed with the lifestyle of the royals. They knew the information from the servants who took care of them.
When the middle of the day arrived, all of the chosen ones were gathered in the royal's field. It was a-day training section for them before they were sent to the earth officially. The trainer who actually had stayed about an hour ago started the lesson by the explanation about the earth's real condition.
"Let's take a look at this earth dummy," said Cashel as the only trainer while he displayed the three dimensional hologram dummy of the earth.
Then, the chosen ones put their eyes on the dummy and prepared their ears and mini notes they had brought. At the same time, Silas caught the attack to the surface of earth which was quite dangerous for human beings.
"I guess the real situation will be worse than this. I mean the earth may not in its shape anymore." Ryker shared his thought spontaneously.
Feeling excited after listening to Ryker's' opinion, Cashel responded, "Yeah, you are partly correct. The situation on the earth is getting worse day by day. I would like all of you to use the powers wisely."
Xander then asked, "Can we also use the cooperative method?"
"Yes, certainly. Everything that you have passed in the first and second challenge is actually done in the mission. If the problem is too hard, you may use the alternatives." Cashel emphasized his explanation in detail.
After that, two of the chosen ones took some notes on what the trainer had said, including Storm. He was obviously doubtful if he could work with others, especially the king's sons whom he knew for owning the superpowers.
"Hmm, it must be pretty challenging for me to cooperate with these great guys for saving the earth and human race. Their powers may be more powerful than mine, and again, I will feel like being underestimated by them although they do not do so," said Storm inside of his mind.
Hereafter, Cashel's explanation expanded and made the chosen ones listen to the trainer. "I want all of you to uncover the mysteries of a ruler in a country on the earth. You are allowed to use any method," said Cashel with tensing glance.
Again, the chosen ones listened and took some important details they needed. This time, it was Xander who felt confident enough to handle the mission. He said inside of his mind, "It seems that I will be the guide in the mission. The overview of the real situation does not really sound difficult to handle. I thought that the mission would be so hard until it might make me bored and exhausted. However, it looks great and may make me feel like the only strongest hero."
After the explanation part had been finished, Cashel started the practice section by taking the chosen ones to the room that had some body building facilities, such as, kickboxing zones, free weights area, and personal training corner. Besides those facilities, the wide and huge-size room was also complemented by the laboratory that was usually used to enhance the immunities and vitamin. Sometimes, the laboratory was conducted to determine the outer space objects brought by the scientists who wanted to do the research projects.
"Here we go. We will explore our strengths and weaknesses here," said Cashel proudly presented the practice room.
Then, Drake commented as he observed his surrounding which looked like a gym centre for him, "Are we going to do body building section? or aerobic?"
Instead of getting those questions answered immediately, the reaction was responded by Ryker's joke, "It seems yes. You know superheroes could not appear with zero muscles. The reference comes from the well known film 'Limitless Strength'."
In just a few seconds, Storm and Xander laughed. At the same moment, they whispered to each other, exchanging the words. "I think we will have a new nickname if we have less muscles than we must be," uttered Xander as he endured his laughter by bitting his lower lip.
Storm just stared and wondered what it was by saying, "What is that?"
"Powerless hero, hahahahaha." Xander said and laughed heartily.
Storm then started to laugh, but his laughter was not really loud. He did not want to make the trainer angry since he always thought of giving some good impressions. However, it did not go like what he expected. His name was called by Cashel.
"Storm Francis, please mention our main purpose in here! it seemed that you already knew what we would do." Cashel said with rising tone voice.
In a sudden, Storm held his tongue. He could not mention any words although they floated in his brain. "Storm? my question is waiting," uttered Cashel. He tried to give signal so that Storm could answer.
"W-we are here for improving our muscles." Storm answered doubtfully. Even his facial expression supported the feeling that was heard through his voice tune.
After listening the answer, Cashel just stroke a little smile. For him, it was lucky if Storm's answer was pretty close to the right purpose of being in the practice room. "All right. It is still one among the purposes of us being here. However, the main purpose is we are here for improving our strength and stamina," said Cashel, tried to emphasize his reason to the chosen ones.
Then, without extending the spare time, Cashel asked all of the chosen winners to stand in a row and do the stretching. Once, they had done it, they were allowed to choose the self defense classes which were kickboxing, body combat, muay thai, air taekwondo, and sword defense. Each of the winners could take the other class if they had finished with the previous one.
