Abe the Wizard

There were around 10 knight camps, and warrior camps were divided into 4 parts. They took up most of the space in Miracle City. The smoke Abel saw earlier where they made weapons.

The wizard camp was located in the middle of miracle city, but that wasn’t where he was going. He needed to go to the marked training ground by the left.

As Abel walked within Miracle City, he noticed a lot of knights and warriors. They were all walking at a fast pace. There wasn’t a single person carelessly strolling around. Abel felt extremely out of place since he was looking around as he walked.

However, when the others noticed that Abel was wearing a magic robe, they just kept on working.

After a while, Abel unintentionally lifted up his head. Suddenly, he was stunned. Originally he thought the mountain behind Miracle City was just a normal mountain, but now as he got closer, he realized it was actually a wall. A giant wall he never saw in his life.

Miracle City was exactly leaning below this giant wall. Abel could not actually calculate the height of this wall; he couldn’t even guess how much labor and resources had been put into building a thing like this.

As Abel signed with admiration, he finally arrived at the training ground marked on the map. It was a camp made out of massive stones. It had a unique sense of military burliness to it.

There were no guards in the camp, but the gate was shut. Abel spotted a magic scanner on the gate. So he held his military card up. A white glow emerged, and a robotic voice followed.

“K3516, identity confirmed. Please wait….”

Abel patiently waited for a while, and soon the gate began to open. A head commander walked out.

“K3516, welcome to the battle training camp. I am your drillmaster, Layard!” Said the head commander with a little tip.

Head Commander Layard’s attitude was quite good. He seemed a little mindful about Abel’s identity since Abel had broken the rules and joined the mission halfway.

Abel realized Commander Layard was carefully examining him. He did not wear his favorite armor, only a normal magic robe. Nothing he was wearing would expose his identity.

“Thank you, Drillmaster Layard.” Said Abel with a bow.

“Come on. I’ll take you to change some gear!” Said Commander Layard in a friendly voice.

The first thing Abel saw was 15 warriors jogging in light armor. A burly knight upfront looked at them with a pair of cold eyes.

Abel didn’t even need to scan with his power of will; he could just guess by the way those warriors were running. They were wizards who came here to train. Even a normal warrior had a better body than them.

At that moment the 15 wizards in light armor were getting out of breath. Sweat poured down from their forehead as they ran. One of them was especially slow, so a knight slammed down with a long rod. Smack! A scream of agony followed, and the wizards seeded up again.

“I’m not asking you to run faster than knights, I’m not even asking you to run faster than warriors. I’m only asking you to run faster than your fellow peers. From my experience in countless battles. The slowest wizard is the one who dies first!” Yelled the burly knight.

“Let’s go, you’ll join them later!” Commander Layard said softly as he saw the scene was getting tensed.

Abel did not have too much to say about the training he just saw. If he knew this earlier, he would have come even later. Even the novice knight training in Harry Castle was better than this.

But who would want to come here anyway? Abel knew how good a Wizard’s body was. They never exercised, and this training could only give them a little battle knowledge and some fighting techniques at most. If this wasn’t a military camp, no knights would want to train these painfully weak looking wizards.

However, every wizard who came to train were official wizards. If they offended them too much, they might not be able to ever interact with each other again. Still, the training could not be done half-heartedly. The City was run by a spirit, and it commanded that every wizard had to finish everything in the course.

Running and close body fighting techniques were crucial to the course. And the knights had to teach them all of it accordingly.

At that moment, the 15 jogging wizards took a turn. From that angle, they could perfectly see Abel and Commander Layard. Abel’s magic robe had triggered a commotion within them.

“What is that? The training is almost about to end!”

“We are all dying from this training, and this bastard came so late! Which big family’s child can this be?”

“The world is so unfair!”

Although they were far away, Abel’s sensitive ears still heard them, let alone that burly knight next to those wizards.

“Mind your own business and stop talking! keep your breathing rhythm!” Yelled that burly knight as he waved his long rode around.

“Let’s move quickly before Drillmaster Cooper gets angry. He’s a scary guy!” Commander Layard gently said to Abel.

Afterward, Abel quickly caught up to Commander Layard and arrived at the warehouse in the camp.

“Dario, give him some new gear!” Said Commander Layard to a middle aged warehouse assistant sitting behind the counter.

“We still have a new guy at this time?” Asked Dario, glancing at Abel behind Commander Layard. He then followed, “What a tall guy. Why be a wizard; it’s better to be a knight!”

“Stop talking nonsense and just bring the gear out. Drillmaster Cooper saw us coming in. If you keep dragging on, you better have a good explanation for him!” Said Commander Layard, waving his hand.

“Ok, ok, I’m just getting bored after sitting all day. Eh, when will this end!” Dario complained as he walked in the warehouse and picked out a light armor and some leather boots.

“Dario, if you are getting bored, I can help you enroll a spot as a gate guard or battlefield patrol!” Said Commander Layard glancing at Dario. Afterward, he threw the armor and boots at Abel.

“No, no, I’m just joking!” Dario quickly shook his head with a smile.

Abel couldn’t care less about these two people joking around. He took off his magic robe and put on the light armor and boots. Afterward, he put away the extras in his portal bag.

“Isn’t it nice to be a wizard? They have a storage space with them all the time!” said Dario in admiration as he looked at Abel’s portal bag. Then, he took out a square magic board and said, “Put your military card here!”

Abel then did what he said. A white light flashed, Dario gave it a little glance and followed. “K3516, your training uniform has been collected. We’ll get someone to send a few more to the place you live!”

“K3516, now run to the stadium. Go join the training today!” Commander Layard yelled in command.

“Yes, Drillmaster Layard!” Abel yelled back. He had undergone knight training before, so he knew a thing or two about these military camps.

Afterward, he ran forwards with big steps. Commander Layard looked at him with a weird expression from behind.

Abel ran to the stadium at a normal person’s speed and yelled, “k3516 is here!”

“K3516, you are late. You need to run 15 laps for your mission today. I don’t care how long you take, but you have to complete that 15 laps!” Yelled Drillmaster Cooper with a pair of cold eyes.

“Yes, Drillmaster!” Abel replied and began to jog.

At that moment, the 15 wizards who were still running began to giggle for Abel’s misfortune.

“You think it’s funny. Everyone, run 2 more laps today!” Drillmaster Cooper yelled coldly again.

Abel wondered if he offended Drillmaster Cooper? Was he going to make a lot of enemies if he continued like this?
