Chapter 213 Training The Hero (Part I)

A few more days passed, and I decided to meet that boy. The boy's talent was something close to mine, in some ways better. I wanted to see how much he could grow.

I have to admit something. I have lacked the motivation to do anything worthwhile. Clyde, on the other hand, gave me some motivation.

Now that I was alone, I had the time to go. There shouldn't be any class today, and Clyde shouldn't be the type of person to have a lover.

When I knocked him out cold, I put a tracker on him. Finding where he was, he was training at his house. This was the perfect time to check up on him.

"Yo!"

"Ow..."

Popping up before Clyde, he fell from the fear bestowed upon him. His tools landed on top of him, which hurt him in the process.

"What are you doing here?"

Clyde's voice was hostile. He remembered what I had done to his group a few weeks ago. I had squashed him like a bug to be stepped on.

"I'm here to see you. Think about the bright side; it's not everyday that the strongest person in this world will visit you."

As number one, the people of this world would beg to see me. He should be grateful that I'm in the mood to see his development.

"I'm asking what you want."

"You really have no patience."

Clyde sighed and calmed down. He knew attacking me after I stomped him in our previous fight would be stupid if you could call it that.

"I have decided that you were worthy."

"Worthy?"

"Yes, worthy. You have a lot of talent, and I'm here to check how far your talent will take you."

I had told him my intentions. Whether he liked it or not wasn't his decision but mine. He may not like how I will train him, but he will have to use my methods.

"What do you mean by check?"

| сom "You have too many questions. I will make you stronger for my entertainment, that's all you need to know."

"Shouldn't you go to my sister instead? She is more talented than me."

I didn't think Clyde had an inferiority complex. I felt like he was forcing him to say those words. But I had no interest in his sister. I felt more talent coming from Clyde than from his sister.

"Is that what you think?"

He nodded and said nothing else. If that's what he thinks, I can do nothing about it. Anyway, I had wasted too much time. Before we derail any longer, I put a portal under Clyde and teleported him to a different place.

Remember Juan, that guy I kept on my farm? The government used that place, and they had a training facility there. Since I had captured Juan, I have part ownership of the small land, making those mine.

"Where are we???"

Shocked to be teleported to a random location, he started to look around, worried about his location.

"We're in Juan's private dimension. This place will be your training area. If you do somehow die, then all I can say is rest in peace."

To grow, he will have to be in a harsh environment. And what's better than sending him into a secret government area?

This was a secretive government area that was unethical. Since this place is a secret, the government here could train soldiers in any way, including children.

Besides, I wouldn't let Clyde die. I told him he could die in a place like this, but I had bestowed my immortality on him. I would like to see his power grow in a desperate situation.

"Can I please leave? This place looks unsettling."

"Leave? You will leave when you defeat all the monsters I throw at you."

"Wait!!!"

Before he said anything else, I left and went to the control room. For the first test, I sent in monsters at his level. There were two mutated plant monsters sent toward him.

"LET ME OUT!!!"

Clyde knew his situation was helpless. Before attacking the monsters, he tried to escape by hitting the wall. Unfortunately for him, it was made of an indestructible material that even I could not destroy.

Knowing that he could not escape, he used his sword and swung at the two monsters. Of course, the monsters wouldn't let him attack without preparing for a counterattack.

[Clyde's POV]

Why am I even in this situation!!! Before I worried about Charles, I had to face these two plant-looking monsters. What was troublesome about them was their ability to extend their roots.

I swung my sword at the one closest to me; the other two were attacking me when I made my move. Finding the most efficient way to fight without being harmed, I jumped to the side to escape their attack.

Once I dodged their attack, I lunged forward and sliced one of their arms. Checking on the monster I had attacked, it still moved like it hadn't been harmed. My mood worsened, seeing that simple attacks wouldn't work.

There were no visible cores that I could find. The monsters I was facing had two legs and two arms attached to a body. It was freaky, seeing that it had no head.

With my first attempt failing, I went in for another attack. The two plant monsters had changed their attack pattern and tried to overwhelm me with their numbers.

Seeing how fickle they were, I sliced their roots and charged at one of their bodies. This time I attacked its chest, revealing the core inside of its body. I swung my sword again, making sure these monsters were killed. The battle was simple, as the remaining one should be easier when it is alone.

"It's good you know how to use that brain of yours when fighting. Let's raise the level by two."

"Can't you let me recover!!!"

I had given up on escaping. This training regimen was much better than staying at home. Without listening to my words, Charles had sent in one monster.

My gut instinct alone told me this monster was much stronger than the previous two. I would be fighting an orc known for its strength. Holding a giant greatsword, I had to be careful of its reach.

*GROWL*

Upon looking at me, the orc let out a roar. I was surprised to hear how loud it was. Seeing that its roar dazed me, it made its first move and swung its sword toward me.

The orc's attack had almost killed me. Any second later, I would have been turned into meat paste.

While the orc missed its attack, I could feel the strength that the orc had. There was no chance I could beat it in a direct confrontation.

Once again, the orc went toward me and attacked without a second thought. The orc had slashed its giant sword three times before he stopped. In that interval, I tried to go in for a quick stab. The orc could not do anything but take the full brunt of my attack.

Cutting into its chest, I could only make a slight wound in the orc. Its chest was hard, making it hard for me to cut its heart.

This would be a tough fight. I needed a decisive strike while I tried to avoid any damage the monster could do.

*GROWL*

The orc screamed for the second time. It tried to do a body slam toward me and ran at me. If I had an advantage in this fight, it would be my agility.

With the orc's linear movement, I quickly dodged its attack without any issue. Even if I dodged the orc's attack, the monster had turned around and jumped at me.

The orc's jumping height gave me enough time to move away. Once it landed, I slashed at its leg, trying to hinder the orc's movement.

*GROWL*

I had continuously dodged the orc's attack. By now, it was getting annoyed by my agile movement. Unluckily, monsters like these would be strengthened by emotions.

Retaking the first move, it charges at me with its great sword and lunges toward me. Moving out of the way, it continued to taste me without taking any breaks.

Its stamina was being drained as the orc tried to hit me with all it had. After minutes of a nonstop rampage, the orc had stopped and taken a breather.

I couldn't let this chance go by. With the monster's tiredness, this was the perfect time to strike. I ran as fast as I could to take out the orc.

Jumping into its face, I swung my sword toward the orc's neck. The orc's last remaining struggle was to grab hold of me.

Dodging midair, I used its arm as a foothold and stabbed it in two eyes in quick succession. Now that it had lost sight, the orc cried in pain while wailing, making its movement unpredictable. But with its messy movement, I struck the orc's heart ending the monster's life.
