Trei led us to another part of the facility. Somewhere deep and cold. The place was similar to the entrance of Grukren’s cave, but this cave is made up entirely of ice. But it wasn’t even dark. More like the ice was glowing. It’s like a sort of light was trapped inside of it.We followed him all through the cave and as we did, we arrived at a dead end. Well, not really. In front of us was still water and the only land that we could find was the one that we were currently on and the other one was at the center. There was no other opening in the cave except the one where we just came from. “Okay…” I said while backing away to avoid slipping and falling into the water. “Trei, please tell me that we are not going to swim. I mean, look at us.” I gestured to Byr

“Remove that fabric and get in the water.” At that statement, Byron and I exchanged a look before looking at Guill like he’s crazy. My eyes darted towards the icy waters of the ocean. Today, my brother, Trei, and I are out in the field with Guill for the official start of our training wearing only our swimsuits like we were going to the beach. Trei was our chaperone for the day to ensure that Guill’s training won’t kill us, considering the stunt he pulled yesterday.I have to admit that I was pretty excited and I could tell that Byron was as well. That was why we wore the best training gear that we could find in our closets. But it turns out that we were supposed to go in the water and were forced to change into a swimmng trunk and a bikini. I gulped and looked at Guill to m

Two weeks flew by as we continued our hell training with our two instructors. Currently, we were submerged in the same ice-cold waters in our beach outfits. I still feel uncomfortable staying here for hours, but my body was starting to adapt bit by bit.The first thing that I noticed was I stopped shivering like a newborn chick every time we would get out of the water. I notice these changes on the fifth day when Byron and I were being chased by a killer whale. Oddly enough, I realized why Guill was so keen that our bodies would adapt to the cold. It was because if our body was suffering, we couldn’t focus to use our magic. Even Byron was having a hard time that day. But lucky for us, Byron managed to hold the killer whale for the while to give me enough time to concentrate and ask for the killer whale to leave us alone.

My fingers wrapped themselves upon the thin parchment paper of the book that I was reading as I flipped it over and over. “This is useless,” I muttered.“What’s useless, sis?” Byron plopped himself down on the ground with me.“This book that Trei gave us yesterday,” I told him and showed him the hardcover of the book.“Do you think he got scared? I mean, even he did not escort us today.” He laid his back on the cold metal wall behind us. Yesterday night Trei stopped by in front of my room to apologize before handing me this book. He said that it was the only book that their private library has about demigods. “Do you want to read it?” I asked him as

“Ow!” My whole body jerked in pain as I felt the needle piercing through my skin. “Is there really no anesthesia that we can use?” I gritted my teeth at the pain as the needle once again pierced my skin. I don’t want to sound like a baby, but here I am grumbling like one.“I’m sorry, but as of the moment, we are all out.” The doctor who was stitching my arm said.I heard a chuckle beside me and glared at Bryon. He was biting the inside of his cheeks to fight the grin on his face. “Sorry, but maybe you should not run off on your own next time.”“If it wasn’t for me, you two wouldn’t have finished repairing the satellite peacefully,” I told him. “Right, general?” I asked while looking at Skyr.
