He did not know if it was because they were rolled hard when they entered the training camp but there were no more dumb and foolish idiots. Perhaps it was because they got rolled at even the slightest of mistakes that each and every child was tense and alert once the training started.

But were they easily going to let them go once they were done with training? The answer to that was no. The children's expression would always turn dark when they kept on lashing out at them for their supposed lack of military discipline.

"Get it straight!"

"It's crooked! Do it again!"

"Get up you bastards!"

It was because they were woken up very early by their instructors that the children all had to fall asleep in nervousness. They were slowly accepting the reality that they needed to keep their heads straight as they fixed their beddings perfectly under the harsh glares of their instructors. This was one of the most important factors that made them realize that they were staying in the military.

However, they weren't being blindly pushed around. The instructors were all sly. They would even motivate and tempt the children with the sweetest reward that they could get, rest.

"If you're able to climb over the occupation forces and take their flag, you'll have a day off tomorrow."

"Woooooooah!"

"Kill!"

"Grab the flag!"

"If you block this then we'll be able to get a day off tomorrow! Block! Stop them no matter what!"

The children were divided into the occupation forces as well as the opposing forces. They were asked to fight over each other's flags. This exercise would give them the basic sense of combat as well as a deeper understanding of the mountainous terrain.

During the course of the training, Jaiden couldn't help but feel amazed at the Northern Army's well-organized drills. It was even better organized than the modern military training in some ways. After all, they were controlling the pace and difficulty of the training while watching and setting the correct limits for the children.

"Since the occupation forces have successfully captured the flag, the occupation forces will have a day off tomorrow!"

"Woooooooah!"

"It's our break tomorrow!"

"I'm going to sleep all day!"

"Me too!"

Each child belonging to the occupation forces had a smile on their faces as they excitedly talked about what they would do tomorrow. Jaiden also felt extremely happy about the break that they were given tomorrow. He was even seriously considering the schedule that he would do tomorrow.
