Shaan’s whole body felt even more painful when the training dummy managed to hit Shaan’s body for the umpteenth time. Damn. Who knew how many times he had tried to immobilize all the dolls, but unfortunately, he always failed. He couldn’t even paralyze one of the dolls at all, and instead, the bruises all over his body looked even more obvious.
’Argh! Why I can’t knock down those damn dolls at all.’
"Shaan, hear me out. You won’t be able to topple all those training dolls if you get carried away with your emotions. Raging anger will make you lose focus, and you’ll only run out of energy from making futile attacks on those training dummies. Try to calm yourself down first before making a move. "
’That’s right. What Miss Briana said is indeed true. I should calm my mind first before moving.’
Shaan slowly stood up, but this time he did not move to attack as usual. He seemed to stay in place for a while, then closed his eyes. He slowly exhaled, trying to calm down the anger inside him before making his move.
’Miss Briana has mentioned that these dolls have movement gaps. I’ve done various attacks, but I haven’t found the dolls’ gap points at all. The thing is, the movements of each of these dolls are different, and it will be difficult to... Shaan immediately fell silent. ’Oh my, that’s it. I seem to have figured out how to immobilize those three puppets.’
Gathering all his remaining energy, Shaan once again darted violently towards the training dummies. However, this time he did not launch any of his usual attacks and instead dodged all of the training dummies’ attacks to continue attacking him.
’Just a little bit more... the movement of these puppets should start to slow down after hitting them repeatedly. I just need to wait for the right moment to- Ah, here it comes.’
Shaan once again managed to dodge the dolls’ attacks, and the dolls’ movements began to slow down. Realizing that, Shaan did not want to waste his chance. He immediately swung his dual swords and then rotated his body quickly until he finally managed to subvert the three training dolls simultaneously with a single slash.

[Mana Spinstrike: A skill that combines mana and fighting techniques with fast spinning movements, resulting in a deadly and energetic attack.]
"Oh my, finally...." Shaan let out a deep breath and lay down his exhausted body. "I... I made it."
"Excellent, Shaan." Briana walked over to Shaan, along by clapping sounds. "It seems you already can use the dual sword," she smiled. "It seems your training session is over today, and you can rest now."
"Yes, I...I agree." Shaan spoke with gasping breath.
"Alright, my job here is done. I will tell the other members to take you back to your room," Briana said, walking away from Shaan. "Oh, yes, before you rest, don’t forget to take the medicine Dion gave you. That medicine can help recover the wounds in your body quickly."
Only a few minutes after Briana left the room, another officer appeared. The officer then directed Shaan to walk out of the training room until Shaan finally reached his room.
"If you need help, just press the red button near your bed. An officer will come and check on you right away."
"Alright, thank you."
"Then, I’ll excuse myself. Have a good rest, Mr. Shaan," the officer said, slowly closing the door to Shaan’s room.
When the sound of the officer’s footsteps slowly grew smaller, Shaan immediately took the medicine Mr. Dion gave him. He immediately lay his body down on his mattress, and instantly, a soft and comfortable sensation touched his body. Slowly, his eyes began to feel heavier, and in just a matter of seconds, Shaan finally fell asleep soundly.
A disturbing sound like the siren from a fire engine rang out from the loudspeaker, waking Shaan from his sleep. He stretched his arms up, and the pain that was felt in his body gradually faded away. Incredibly, it seems that what Miss Briana said was true; the medicine Mr. Dion gave him had a remarkable effect.
However, even though the pain started to fade, he didn’t get enough rest. Throughout the night, he had tossed and turned left and right several times while sleeping. It felt like his body was still not used to adjusting to his new mattress now, and it would take a long time until he could feel fully comfortable.
’No. I can’t fall asleep." Shaan gently patted her cheek repeatedly. ’I have to wake up. Right now.’
With all his might, Shaan fought the sleepiness in his mind. He then got up from his bed and decided to take a shower immediately so that the sleepiness he felt would fade away.
"Ah, at least it’s much better now. Now I can -’
’Good morning, it is announced to all amateur daemonist members to immediately go to the main kitchen area for breakfast, before the simulation session is held. Thank you.’
’Simulation session?’ Shaan immediately furrowed his brow. ’I’m getting curious as to what the simulation session will be like?’
Shaan quickly put on his clothes and walked straight out of his room to the main kitchen area. When he got there, a long queue had started to form in the main kitchen area, but fortunately, it was not as long as yesterday. Without lingering, He immediately went in and joined the queue.
"For breakfast in the morning, maybe I’ll take this." Shaan picked up a bowl of porridge with two hard-boiled eggs and placed the food on a plate. "Oh, yes, and of course a glass of milk."
After Shaan chose his food, he started looking for an empty seat, and this time he seemed to be quite lucky. He managed to find an empty seat not far from his position. Without lingering, he immediately sat down and started eating his food.
’Strange, I’ve been here for a few minutes, but haven’t seen that woman at all? Is it possible that she hasn’t woken up yet and missed breakfast?’ Shaan cast his eyes around. "Ah, never mind. I’d better focus on finishing my breakfast now."
A few minutes later, officers began to appear and directed all the amateur Daeomist members to the room to begin the simulation session. At first, Shaan thought that the room used for the simulation might be a closed room that resembled the same training room Shaan had used yesterday. However, it was strange that the officers were walking towards the open area in this place. Strange, where exactly was the simulation session?
