When accepting Founder's invitation, Asuna once firmly believed that she would be able to survive the other party's rigorous training, but when she really started training, Asuna realized... how big the gap between reality and ideals is.

Founder completely controlled their daily life. From the second day after joining the team, the three girls, including Asuna, never returned to the safe zone. Instead, they went up and trained in the forest with Founder and others!

The basic process is like this.

Get up at six in the morning, then do an hour of warm-up leveling, and then Fang Zheng, Lestia and Est teach and train Asuna and others. Although they are already top players, they become monks halfway through cold weapons and are unqualified in many places. Therefore, Fang Zheng first asked them to practice three hours of basic weapon attack and counterattack posture, and then continue to level up.

Then at 1:00 noon, they will give them two hours of rest time. They can take advantage of this time to take a breath, rest and relax their nerves, and then continue to train sword skills in the afternoon, and then practice practical exercises during leveling.

Then this will continue until eight o'clock in the evening... However, this is not the end of the training.

During the training period, everyone's food was kept by Fang Zhengtong, so he asked Asuna and the other three to have a question. They had to pass through a path in the forest alone within a certain period of time, where various monsters would be refreshed, and there would even be many stumbling blocks.

Only by reaching their destination through the path on time will Fang Zheng give them food. If the time exceeds the time... I'm sorry, I can't starve to death in the game anyway, so just starve!

After they were just trying to do it, they were given two hours of time to learn, mainly to recall some omissions in today's battle, or any unknown things, and then they went to do it until twelve o'clock, and then they would find an open space in the forest to rest and sleep.

Spend the night in the wild!!

To be honest, when I first heard Fang Zheng mention this request, not only Asuna, but even Black Cat and Aoye were shocked.

All along, even Asuna, who was the craziest leveling level, would return to the starting town at night, relax in the warm hotel, and have a good rest to face the battle the next day.

After all, the living area is also a safe area. There is no need to worry about monster attacks here, nor do you have to worry about someone causing trouble for you. Once the door is closed, others can't get in. But in the wild? Not to mention various monsters that may be refreshed at any time, what if a player with bad intentions comes to you?

However, in the face of protests from Asuna and others, Fang Zheng explained to them this way.

"This is used to test the degree of trust between us. In the battle, we need to deliver each other's lives to each other, and all we have to do is to deepen this trust. If we don't even have this level of trust, it will be even more difficult to fight together when facing the boss."

In the end, Asuna had to agree to stay.

Of course, this high-intensity training should have easily aroused dissatisfaction among the public, but neither Asuna, Black Cat nor Aoba had complained much.

The reason is very simple, that is, Fang Zheng and others work harder than them!

Not only will they train and upgrade with Asuna and the others, but also when Asuna and the others are resting, Fang Zheng will also take Lestea or Ester around to see if there are any refreshed elite monsters and other guys who can use it to "additional meals".

At night, Asuna and the Black Cat, who had been exhausted for a day of training, almost fell asleep. Thanks to the soft ground in the game, the carpet is as soft as the carpet, and there is no need to worry about nauseating bugs or snakes crawling onto you, so they sleep very comfortably.

But every time Asuna watched them wake up before going to bed, and after waking up, they were still awake!

It looks like I haven't slept at all!

It would be fine if it was just like this, but the biggest blow to Asuna was the changes in Aoba and Black Cat!

Asuna has always thought that she was the craziest leveling class. From her level, we can see that when she first joined Founder's team, she was level 15, Black Cat was level 13, and Qingye was level 10. In Asuna's opinion, Qingye was a very well-behaved and obedient child, Black Cat... The speechless girl with a middle-aged second-sick feeling doesn't seem like a person who can endure hardships. Even as a leveling madman, she couldn't stand such training, so they might behave very badly.

However, the facts are completely opposite to what Asuna thought.

The first person to be familiar with Founder's training schedule was the black cat full of illness in the second grade!

Not only her, but even Qingye's upgrade speed has gradually caught up. After about five days of "hell special training" by Fang Zheng and others, the levels of the people in the Founder team are Fang Zheng, Lester, Ester's level 22, Black Cat's level 20, Asuna's level 19, and Qingye's level 18!

You should know that at the beginning, Aoba and Asuna were at a level five. Although this was also accompanied by the increase in the level and the gain of less experience, Aoba was able to catch up from a level five to only one level, which is enough to show the problem.

"So far, take two hours of rest!"

As Fang Zheng finished speaking, Asuna let out a long sigh, then put down the thin sword in her hand and sat down against a big tree. The black cat also stretched and sat next to her with Qingye.

"Ester, Lester, you guys have some rest, I'm going to go back to the town of the beginning."

After simply giving orders to his two sword elves, Fang Zheng turned around and walked towards the direction of teleportation crystal, while Asuna looked at Fang Zheng's back and couldn't help but sigh.

"I really didn't expect... training would be so tiring..."

"But it's interesting, isn't it?"

The black cat chuckled.

"Sister Lesteria taught me a lot of interesting things, including the use of scimitar techniques... I think even if I go back to the real world, these can be used!"

"……………Where are you going to use it? Doesn't this violate the sword and gun control law?"

Looking at the excited black cat, Asuna felt that she needed to remind her, so that she would not leave the game world easily and then be arrested in prison again...

"Hmph! The threat of the mere world is no match for my fallen angel black cat! My dark teeth will cut off the shackles of those rules! Regain freedom!"

"Miss Black Cat, you are really energetic."

Seeing the black cat standing up again and shouting while posing in an extremely high-end position, Asuna sighed. Although Fang Zheng had told them that there would be no physical fatigue symptoms such as muscle soreness in the game world, mental fatigue and weakness are also a headache...

"Because I'm used to it."

"Are you used to it?"

"yes."

The black cat nodded, then raised his head and looked into the sky.

"I have two sisters to take care of. I have to get up early every day to cook for them. After school in the afternoon, I have to coax them to play and sleep with them at night... In comparison, Mr. Fang Zheng's training seems to me to be simpler."

After all, it is hard to coax two people to be tempted.

"Miss Black Cat, you will take care of?"

"Yes, my family doesn't have much money. My parents have to go to work. I am the eldest sister, so naturally I have to take responsibility."

"But you bought this helmet?"

When Asuna heard the black cat's answer, she immediately had a question. Although she was not sure about the real price of this helmet, she had heard some of it from her elder brother. If Asuna remembers it correctly, this helmet is not cheap, at least it is not something that an ordinary family with a relatively difficult life can afford.

“I didn’t buy it.”

However, the black cat shook his head.

"I got it from the lottery."

"………lottery?"

"Yes, doesn't Akihabara have a store holding a lottery? I happened to buy a new issue that day, and I got it and won."

"Miss Black Cat, you are so lucky..."

When Qingye heard the black cat's words, she couldn't help but sigh, and then she sighed.

"In contrast, my luck is not so good...I went to buy it with my friends, but when it was our turn, there was only one left. At that time, because she was in front of me, I sold it to her. But my friend asked me to play first, but... I don't know how she is now."

“…………………”

Hearing this, everyone fell into silence and stopped talking.

Although their destinies are different, they all have a common goal, which is to leave the world as soon as possible and return to their relatives and friends who are worried about them.

However, so far, this is just a small wish.
