Fated For Lycan's Luna

Chapter 51

“Wooohoo! Luna, you are so amazing!”

“Indeed! Luna, your hard work in the past few days has really paid off!”

“Indeed! We are so happy to see you improve!!

Cheers and praises flew everywhere as I stood inside the training area.

Today was the very first time I successfully landed a clean blow on one of my beta sparring mates.

After days of ending with utter defeat and humiliating performance, I finally showed some progress and

was able to connect a punch straight to the Beta’s chest.

Everyday I would accept Teacher Astor's teaching training me on how to stabilize my center of gravity

and improve how I distribute my weight during the attack.

As they sounded so foreign to me, I had to think about it many nights and pathetically try to execute it All content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

during the sparring sessions, only to bear no fruit.

But this day was different as my body was finally showing signs of getting used to the fighting and pain.

However, as I was happy, Teacher Astor poured cold water on me, “You had only made a small

progress and was still far from the final goal, yet you still have the energy to be happy?”

My originally high mood immediately went down. I was dragged back to reality and understood that

landing a clean punch was not even scratching the surface of a passable combat skill.

Before Astor left, he turned and looked at me while he said, “Do not be too happy… There will be more

rigorous training tomorrow.”

After he finished speaking, Teacher Astor walked out the door.

Coincidentally, Carrie entered, “Chloe… I heard the cheers from afar! I say, congratulations on your first

sparring win! Keep it up and don’t give up!!!”

But just after Carrie finished speaking, Teacher Astor turned around and said, “You must join the

training as well!”

Carrie was dumbfounded for a moment. She looked at me and the rest of Beta in disbelief. She even

blinked twice and pointed her fingers to herself and asked, “Me?”

“Yes, it's you, Carrie!” The beta’s around confirmed with a gloating expression on their faces.

But before they could even tease Carrie for her misfortune, Astor looked back once again and

announced, “In Fact everyone of you would be joining! See you tomorrow!”

The next moment, the entire training hall turned silent with only the sound of the door slamming to

close.

However she realized what was happening so Carrie went after Astor to try to intercede, and she called

“Teacher Astor! Uncle Astor!”

The next day, Carrie and I came to practice together.

Carrie looked sad and worried, “Sigh… I might as well go back to school. This is unbelievable!”

“I thought that I would no longer experience this kind of dread anymore! Hah…”

“W-why? What makes you so afraid and worried Carrie?” I whispered, clearly not understanding her

apprehension toward the situation.

“Chloe! You might not know but today is Hell day! The devil’s day to torture us to his satisfaction!”

“Hell’s day?” I furrowed my brows and asked.

“Argh! No wonder Arthur used great lengths to get out of the pack and even used my big brother as an

excuse to escape! He had long known that this would happen!”

Instead of answering my question, Carrie’s expression turned more anxious.

“What is this hell day really?”

But as I was still engaging to a conversation with Carrie under whispers, Teacher Astor had already

entered the training ground and announced today’s training session.

He looked at everyone with dangerous and deterrent eyes as he announced firmly, “It is the time of the

year again… today is the day you will all be pushed to your limits and improve…”

‘Today is our pack’s hell day! Brace yourselves everyone and know that only those who persevere till

the end will gain the training’s benefit!”

As he was saying this, there was no trace of sympathy in his expression. Instead he glanced at us as if

he was already expecting everyone to give up.

The look of dread and anxiousness appeared on Carrie and every warrior’s faces. Clearly they did not

like whatever things would happen on this training called Hell’s day.

I frowned and suddenly felt the nervousness after seeing how the people around me reacted. Having to

not know anything about it, I got a little scared.

However in the end, I chose to not react and decided to finish the training with all that I can.

“Now, we shall start with a ground exercise warming up in this training ground.

Then you will all sprint back and forth from the gates of the pack then to the Nordus Mountain just

behind our territory.

When you reach the Nordus Mountain’s summit you must get the flag and carry it back to our starting

point.

But be careful… I have set several traps in the entire mountain. One who was not keen nor alert

enough to detect and avoid perilous situations might lose their lives first when the real battles came.

So everyone, you must strive to be the ones who are good enough to avoid dangerous situations!”

“Now enough of the talking and start!”

At the sound of his whistle, the training started with eighty repetition of burpees and other exercises.

I was already gasping for air when I finished the first set of the exercise but Teacher Astor kept going.

I felt that my chests heated up and every gasp of air I took was enough to cause a wave of pain.

Carrie had a frown and grievous expression on her face but she still continued following the exercise

routine.

After that, my knees were already turning to jelly as my leg muscles were already sore.

“Chloe…” Carrie looked down and she visibly saw how my knees trembled, I could not even barely

stand!

“You should quit this training first as this training is clearly not for you yet. You are still a beginner, or

else you might have trouble when you quit while we are already in the mountains.

“D-don’t worry… I can still do this…” I answered as I panted due to the high intensity training.

Meanwhile, Astor did not even care if we could make it. Instead he calmly looked at the side, not even

giving out any emotions.

In the end I still joined them going up the mountain.

That was when I understood why it was called a devil’s training, Hell’s day!

As soon as I stepped at the bounds of the mountain, the traps that were set really appeared at random.

Boom! Several beta’s fell to a trap and if not for them shifting fast to avoid falling to the pit full of pointy

sticks, they would have been severely injured.

But as for me, I could only stare with a pale face. How could I survive in this training?!

Bang!

Behind me, the betas who suddenly retreated triggered yet another trap, a long swing in their direction

causing them to leap at a distance.

As for me I could only frantically run while ascending to a slippery muddy mountain.

The ascent is quite harsh, my foot even lost its grip to the ground several times. I clung to every thorny

grass and nearby trees just to ensure that I won’t fall behind.

Just as I thought that this was all that was in store for me, the terrain changed from a muddy trail now

to an array of mountain rocks with razor sharp blades.

Looking at the massive cliff that I had to climb, I suddenly doubted if I could make it to the top and back

to where we started.

“You can choose to stop at the moment, if you feel that this is too much…” For some unknown time,

stood behind me and calmly said these words.

However, I clenched my fist and gritted my teeth. I repeatedly failed to obtain any satisfactory training

results… Why should I give up at this moment then?

I have to struggle and persevere, only then will I have the confidence to become stronger than I was

yesterday!

And so I lifted my foot and slowly dragged my aching body to climb the cliff. There were many times

that I could not help but cry.

The nails on my hands were already bleeding, but I did not dare to let go of the rocks that I was

clingling onto.

Finally, I reached the summit. Seeing that only one flag remained, it seems that I was the last one to

retrieve the flag.

I crawled from the edge of the cliff and took the fall, tearing up slightly. But then I quickly recollected

myself as I still have an entire trip back.

This time, it was not only my fingers that were wounded, even the soles of my feet were ridden with

injuries.

As I took on the slippery terrain, I slipped countless times, clung to dear life just to stop my body from

falling to the trap pits.

Then finally I could already see the gates of the Silver pack, there were already several people waving

at me happily.

But before I could make out who they were, my vision became blurry and everything went dark.
