Chapter 807 - 124 - Irene And Gabrielle (3)
The joint training here at camp had been rolling on pretty smoothly—or at least that’s what the professors kept saying.
Every day, they’d drill into us what we were supposed to do during the joint training—like group activities, special drills, and a bunch of exhausting stuff like that. And honestly... we’d been at it so long that the excitement all of us first-year cadets had back when we first got here had pretty much vanished. Instead of that initial thrill, we were left with a mess of frustration, exhaustion, and a bunch of other feelings I didn’t even know how to name.
The worst part was that there was barely any structure to anything here. There was no proper schedule to take a bath and there was no real bathrooms.
It was just the endless stretch of woods for whenever nature called.
According to the professors, all of this was "necessary," because someday, when we became real magic knights, we’d face stuff like this on missions. So, they figured they’d toughen us up now rather than later.
But me... well, I felt like I was slowly losing my damn mind in this state.
There wasn’t even proper food... just bland rations that barely filled you up. There was no real way to wash off the sweat and grime sticking to your skin day after day. And to top it all off, I had to share a bed with someone I wasn’t even friends with.
I swear, it felt like my entire sense of privacy had been ripped away.
"Ugh... This is seriously the pits..." I grumbled under my breath, sitting up on the stiff, narrow bed that felt like it was made of stone.
My eyes drifted to the person sleeping right next to me. It was another Gold Class student. She was out cold, snoring loud enough to rattle the walls.
How the hell was anyone supposed to sleep through that?
I let out a sigh that felt like it carried days of pent-up frustration, then quietly slipped off the bed and tiptoed out of the cramped, musty cabin.
