THE STRONGEST NEXULYTE

The trainees were also taught what a Nexus chamber was and how to locate it in their bodies, they did a practical session right there in class and only after successfully locating their Nexus chamber were they allowed to leave.

The Nexus chamber was a special space inside their bodies where they could store Nexus energy and also refine it to increase their A/P to get stronger.

Following that were classes about other things such as talents, level of talents, introduction of the dreamscape, and lastly, how to handle weapons; after all, one could not always rely on their talents when in battle. What if they ran out of Nexus energy in unforeseen circumstances?

The trainees were only allowed to rest for the day at 7 in the evening since it was time for dinner, they dragged their tired bodies to the cafeteria while some went straight to bed. This was only the first day of training yet some of them were already exhausted both mentally and physically.

At 10 o'clock in the evening, Ivan could be seen sitting crossed legged on his bed. He had changed out of the purple tracksuit and was currently wearing a simple sleeveless shirt and a pair of shorts. One could see the bruises on his arms, legs, and face which were the results of his training with Luke. His palms also had a few cuts on them too.

Ivan clenched and opened his right palm, his blue eyes gazing at it with intent. This was just the first day but Ivan could already feel it, he could feel that he had gotten stronger than he was a day ago.

He closed his eyes and focused his mind, this was a practice that they had been taught during one of their lessons to check their progress.

And as expected, a window appeared in front of Ivan.

NAME: Ivan Von Charles

Talent group: Primal Talent type: Wisher Talent: Wish card

Talent lv: SS AP: 0% Rank: NULL

Ivan opened his eyes and stared at the information on the window with a serious expression on his face. According to the instructor who had taught them on this topic, this window was called a Nexulyte's profile and would display their progress and information about their talent. They could keep it invisible or reveal a part of it to anyone as long as they wished for it.

After staring at his profile for a while Ivan made the window disappear, his chest rose and fell as he took a deep breath.

"Let's see how far we can go in one night" Ivan muttered to himself. He closed his eyes and began to sense the air around him, they had already gone through the first step during class hours so it did not take long for him to sense the Nexus energy around him and absorb it into his Nexus chamber.

Minutes slowly ticked by and soon Ivan had lost himself to the flow of time, he soon fell asleep.

Strangely, his body did not stop absorbing the Nexus energy around him even while he was asleep; he continued absorbing!

4:00 am.

Like an inbuilt alarm clock in his head, Ivan sprang up from his bed with a jolt. His head instinctively turned toward the wall clock and he rushed to change his clothes immediately after seeing what time it was.

He immediately dashed out of his room immediately after changing, the first thing he did was to go check on Glen's room when he didn't spot him outside. Turned out that Glen was still sleeping and it had taken almost two minutes for Ivan to force him to wake up by constantly banging on his door, waking some other trainees in the process.

Glen had slept in his gray T-shirt and purple pants so he only had the chance to grab his jacket before Ivan dragged him out and they headed toward Ralph's room. They happened to meet Ralph coming toward them on their way so they all headed toward the field together.

Upon arriving, they found the five repeaters were already there, instructor Nathan was checking his wrist watch while instructor Logan sat on the ground with folded arms. What surprised Ivan was that there was a group of other trainees who had arrived before then!

This group consisted of four girls and two boys who were around their age as well. They only threw a glance at the three who arrived before closing their eyes again; Ivan didn't know if they were sleeping or not.

Time slowly passed as few tired and sleepy trainees swaggered into the field, after what seemed like thirty minutes had passed. Instructor Nathan moved just like the previous day and erected a tall wall of Nexus energy, barricading entrance into the field.

"Alright, anyone who arrives after now will have to do their morning training with gravity bracelets and do double sets of stretches later. As for the fortune few of you…

Start running!" Instructor Logan yelled.

The trainees who had arrived could not help but pity those who had yet to come, some people were about to miss breakfast.

The trainees that were present quickly realized that they all already had a talent blocking bracelet on their wrists, they immediately sprinted forward under the dim shine of the night sky.

Scaling through the forest, dragging their feet through the heavy mud, climbing over the iron net, and climbing up the slippery mountain. Each session was as laborious and tiring as the previous day but the trainees managed to keep up without collapsing halfway, it was to be expected since none of them had gravity bracelets on today; those who would get a bracelet were still at the back.

Ivan stood at the base of the mountain, his head bent backwards as his eyes ran along the body of the mountain but he couldn't see too far up from where he stood due to how dark it was.

"Let's do this"

Glen said spiritedly from the side and immediately began to climb, this was a payback for the two of them leaving him behind yesterday!

Ralph and Ivan smirked when they saw this, they didn't waste time and started climbing as well.

Just like yesterday, not more than twenty minutes had passed since they started climbing but three of the five repeaters were already out of sight.

Ivan had crossed thirty meters up the mountain and Ralph and Glen were a few meters behind him, other trainees were either ahead of Ivan or busy falling.

"Why are you going so fast? I suspect that you cheated so you have to start again" A sinister voice sounded above Ivan. He looked up and saw Luke smirking at him from above, before Ivan could say anything.

Thud!

Luke stepped on his hand that was grabbing onto a rock, Ivan temporarily released his grip on the rock due to pain but that was a very wrong decision because he found himself falling without restraint the moment.

"Ivan!" Glen shouted.

Luke watched as Ivan fell further away and smirked in satisfaction.

" Loser" he snorted before continuing to climb, ignoring the hateful glares from Ralph and Glen.

While climbing, he came to Sommy's height and saw the girl staring at him with contempt.

"What?" Luke scoffed.

Sommy stared at him for a while before looking down as if trying to look for Ivan, she shook her head and continued to climb.

"Don't ignore me!" Luke yelled and climbed after Sommy, they both disappeared up the mountain.

As for Ivan, he was currently at the foot of the mountain with a blank expression on his face, a small smile slowly grew on the side of his lips as he gently touched the surface of the mountain.
