Chapter Twenty-Four: Horse Names and Motivated Training

"Otto, what do I think my horse is called?"

"Whatever you want, that's your horse."

"You see, my horse is quite dark, and when he grows up, he will run like a black light... How about calling it black light? ”

"It's said it's your horse, you can do whatever you like."

"He might run like the wind, how about calling it a black wind?"

"Can you stop bothering me, you can call whatever you want." Otto said impatiently.

"Oh..."

Xiu sat down on the edge of the bed again and bowed his head in contemplative.

It's a lunch break, and there's a two-hour break at noon, so Xiu meditates like this.

Eventually, he decided, it was black anyway, and it would be nice to call it dark.

Thinking of this, Xiu ran out of the dormitory and ran to the side of the dark horse.

"From now on, you will be called Dark!"

The black horse elegantly ate a bite of grass.

A gentle breeze blew, rolling up a few light straws.

Xiu nodded in satisfaction. I think the name couldn't be more appropriate.

"After that, you will be dark, no matter whether you are black wind or black light, you are my companion. In the future, I will also wear the black knight's uniform of Kaslana's house, and when I am on your back, we will all be black and black. He combed the black horse's mane and whispered.

The lunch break passed quickly, and as the horn sounded, the afternoon training began.

Unlike the morning physical training, the afternoon training is more about physical strength. An area of the training ground is filled with all kinds of weights and equipment for training, from the soles of the feet to the fingers, and the recruits use these equipment for ten sets of twenty exercises each day, for a total of 200 exercises.

This is a requirement for knight training, and the Valkyries have two less groups, so there is relatively more time to rest.

There are a total of 12 such training programs on the training ground, which train fingers, wrists, elbows, arms, shoulders, chest and back, waist, straddle, thighs, calves, ankles, and soles.

Each kind of project has to be done in a group, one by one, divided into five rounds to complete. Although there are many types of equipment, the number is not enough for everyone to practice together, so everyone separates. This kind of training is relatively free, and everyone disbands together when they finish it.

The exception is Xiu, because he is always done long after someone else has dissolved.

The afternoon training was very uncomfortable, and the exposure to the scorching sun and the air of Ken Er made people lose their temper very irritable. But after yesterday's training, these recruits are looking forward to the afternoon.

Because at the instigation of Susanna, the Valkyries were constantly cheering for the knights, and the knights were really training hard for the sake of face. One by one, they were more energetic than cattle, shouting slogans loudly, and trying to puff up their few muscles to show off to the Valkyries.

The girls were just cheering for the boys in a daze, occasionally letting out a series of silver bell-like laughs. But that's enough to be a man's motivation! Although they are all a group of teenagers, they have begun to have the instinct to pursue the opposite sex.

And repair... The Valkyries would also cheer Xiu on the side after the boys' training, but Xiu was too embarrassed to continue training, so Suzanne had to drive all the Valkyries away and let them disband.

Now, it's time for them to compete again.

"Look, Anthony has finished his arm training!"

"I already have the shape of a muscle!"

"Inverted triangle!" The chattering of the Valkyries made Anthony's face flush a little. But it's more of a smug expression. That boy will have this reaction when he is praised by a girl.

"Look, Carlos! Carlos is training for the third round! ”

The boy named Carlos struggled to get up and put down the log, finished a round of training, and walked to the first piece of training equipment to start the third round of training.

Anthony frowned, silently speeding up the movement of his hand. But Suzanne stopped her by saying, "Anthony, don't do it so fast, slow down your movements so that your muscles are in a state of processing all the time, and then hold on!" Rest assured, Carlos won't rob your girl! ”

Anthony's hands went limp, and the weight in his hand almost hit his feet. He blushed and forced himself to pretend that nothing had happened under the laughter of the Valkyries, and continued to exercise. Carlos gave Anthony a casual look, ignored the Valkyries, and continued his training.

"Okay, the goddesses continue to train, they have rested enough, you can continue to watch Anthony is almost weak!"

The Valkyries dispersed, leaving Anthony in shame to continue gritting his teeth and pretending that nothing had happened, and continuing to train.

Under the scorching sun, all the people were completely drenched with sweat, and Carlos's white hair was also dyed with sweat, which was somewhat similar to Xiu Down. His blue eyes were full of indomitability, and he resolutely completed the third round, without a break, and continued the fourth round.

This time it's not just the Valkyries, but even the knights are talking.

"I heard his name is Carlos?"

"Behold, he's starting the fourth round!"

"Doesn't he need a break?"

"Carlos, you seem to be desperate?"

Xiu also saw it, but he and Carlos were not at the same level at all, he could only work hard silently, trying to catch up with the progress.

He had to rest, and that's what Suzanne asked him to do.

The instructors have seen the training of Xiu, which is completely training to tap potential, and this kind of training cannot be done every day, because it is equivalent to burning life.

Xiu silently finished a round of training, rested for ten minutes, ran around until he walked slowly in a circle, and then came back to continue the second round, and by this time Carlos had already completed the third round and was ready to move on to the fourth round. Not to be outdone, Anthony followed Carlos' progress closely.

In such an atmosphere, training is no longer so boring, and everyone has a goal to catch up. They persevered desperately, overcoming the soreness and pain of their bodies, breaking through their limits again and again, and their willpower slowly grew in this breakthrough.

This kind of training method is the way that Destiny has summed up from generation to generation. But it's not always available.

Because in the combat power of the Mandate of Heaven Organization, there are too few men, that is, knights. In the Knights of Destiny, the people of the three clans of Destiny only serve as the most elite combat power, and most of the most common combat power is held by Valkyries composed of girls who are resistant to Honkai selected by the church from all over the world. Because among ordinary people, all the systems that can resist the erosion of Honkai appear in women.

Only the bloodline of the three Mandate of Heaven can be born as a male who can compete with Honkai, so every male combat power is precious.

This kind of training is also an incentive for men, and only the strongest men can combine with the holy women of destiny to give birth to a stronger next generation. Of course, buying these are all afterthoughts. These people are just children, and these are too far away from them.

They have yet to grow.
