Continuous, high-intensity training can lead to a gradual loss of the ability to think, and most people have forgotten how long they have been here.

Zhang Heng's daily life is now only necessary physical activities such as eating and sleeping in addition to training, and the latter two are always in a state of insufficiency, no matter how much food they eat, they will soon be hungry, no matter how many hours they sleep, their whole bodies will still be sore the next day......

In addition to the unlucky ghost who threw away the training sword before, seven more people chose to quit one after another who couldn't withstand this cruel pressure.

Four of them, Roman citizens, chose to break their contract amicably with the gladiator school and return home to find another way out, while the remaining three slaves were not so lucky and were taken to the mines the next day.

To Gabi's surprise, Varro, who was the least optimistic about him, actually survived.

Although the latter completed the first day of training before sunrise, he could only devote himself to a new round of training without eating or resting, in Gabi's opinion, he had little hope of holding on the next day, but what he didn't expect was that Varro miraculously carried it, during which Zhang Heng helped him smuggle water and bread, but obviously his own willpower was the real decisive factor.

This made Gabi appreciate him a little, a good gladiator, combat skills are important, but a strong will is also indispensable, Bach is very good in this regard, his training volume is the largest of all, but he has not said a word of complaint except for blowing his beard and staring all the time.

However, Gabi didn't open any back door to Varro because he admired Varro, after all, Varro is not a potential newcomer like Bach who deserves a lot of investment, and it is his own luck that he can survive this hurdle, and there is nothing to lose if he can't survive the gladiator school, anyway, there will always be a shortage of people in the mine.

For now, Varro's luck seems to have been good, surviving the toughest first day and the tougher second day, buying himself three hours of sleep and eating to recharge his body, so on the third day he was a little faster, and in return he got more rest.

But his good fortune ran out on the fifth day and he broke his foot in training. Gabi didn't say anything about this, just asked him to continue training, so Varro dragged an injured foot one day, almost failed to complete the training task, and the next day because of the previous strenuous exercise his ankle swollen even more, which also made his movements even more sluggish.

Although Varro finally completed the task before the next sunrise, he already felt a sense of despair in his heart, because he knew how bad his current condition was, which could not be compensated by pure spirit, and with his current physical strength and injury, it was impossible to complete a new round of training in any way.

But fortunately, he then saw Zhang Heng again, who made a simple version of the ankle brace out of bark and strips of cloth, threw it in front of him, and said, "Put it on." ”

Before Zhang Heng in their dormitory, Wei Jiangyang liked to play the most, but he always sprained his foot when he played, so the latter bought one to wear on his foot to facilitate recovery, of course, the protective gear company did not package the delivery of Roman customers in the second century AD, but fortunately, Zhang Hengda knew the principle and structure, so he made one.

Varro put on protective gear under Zhang Heng's guidance, ate some bread and water, and finally barely carried the most dangerous day, and his bad luck seemed to have finally come to an end after this, although his sprain looked a little scary before, but it did not hurt the bones, and after wearing the protective gear, it began to get better until it returned to normal.

Varro also gradually caught up with the progress of the large army, getting more time to eat and rest.

And when the time came to the forty-ninth day, Gabby canceled all training for the first time and gathered everyone together, his eyes scanning the faces in front of him.

Now the number of this batch of reserve gladiators has been reduced from 43 at the beginning of the training camp to 30 people, and 13 people have withdrawn actively or passively for various reasons.

Among them, the freemen have attrition the most, after all, this period Gabi suddenly doubled the amount of training without warning, reaching a stage that ordinary people can hardly bear, and there is not only this gladiator school in the city of Rome, even if those who still want to pursue this profession have no need to hang themselves from a tree if they have a choice.

So by the forty-ninth day, there were only two freemen left, and the other twenty-eight were slaves.

This result is basically in line with Gabi's expectations, and then it will be the final event.

- Gladiator assessment.

Although there has been a nearly one-third elimination rate so far, it is not said that the remaining thirty people can all become gladiators, although there are also some gladiator schools in the city that will take into account the cost of training and buying slaves, and choose relatively loose assessment standards, but in line with the attitude of being responsible for the audience, Gabi has never relaxed the requirements in the more than 20 years as the head of the school.

Only good gladiators can give the best performances to the audience.

It is precisely because of this principle that the attendance of the Victor Arena has remained high.

Of course, because of Makrus's requirements, there is another layer of different meaning in this assessment.

"Congratulations, you've completed the first part of your training." "But don't rejoice too soon," said Gabi, "because only by passing the final examination can you become a true gladiator, and those who fail the examination, needless to say, you also know what fate awaits you." ”

Gabby paused, taking in the expressions on everyone's faces before continuing, "Take it easy, the content of the assessment is very simple, it is not as cumbersome as your previous training program, gladiators are people who are born to fight, so there is only one criterion for evaluating the merits of a gladiator, that is, whether you can win." ”

Instead of being afraid, everyone showed a look of eagerness to try, they had been training hard for so long, and it was finally time to show the results of their training.

"Very good, keep this excitement up, I'm sure you've all inquired about what the assessment method is, after the draw, the winner will pass the assessment, and the losing side will be judged by me based on performance, but this time we decided to change the assessment method."

As soon as Gabby changed his words, the training ground suddenly fell silent, and the joy on everyone's faces before that they could finally be freed from this devil's training was gone, and on the contrary, everyone's hearts gave birth to a feeling that something bad was wrong.

Gabby still said slowly, "In order to give you a better understanding of what gladiatorial performance is and the gap between you and the official gladiators, your opponents will be the official gladiators selected from the school this time, and the battle arrangement will still be based on the lottery method. ”

"Now, who's going to be the first to draw lots?"
