Chapter 553 Privilege

If the Drillmaster knew Abel ran 100 miles, there was no way he would tell him to just run 15 laps . A whole lap was just around 500 meters . That wasn’t enough of a warm up .

Abel causally jogged under 15 hateful gazes . He maintained a normal speed . He didn’t want to try too hard or get punished .

He did 1 lap, 2 laps, and 3 laps . Drillmaster Cooper began to frown when Abel reached lap 15 . He didn’t care how weak wizards were . They were all the same anyway . But he didn’t want to see someone disrupting their flow, and Abel was that someone .

Drillmaster Cooper fixed his gaze on Abel . His body could definitely run faster, but all he did was drag on . He didn’t even sweat after completing 15 laps . At that moment, the 15 wizards had just completed their 17 laps, and they were basically dying . The contrast was clear .

To Drillmaster Cooper, Abel was mocking the 15 wizards and disregarding him .

Seeing Abel was about to stop, Drillmaster Cooper yelled, “K3516, go run another 2 laps . You should run the same distance as everyone!”

Abel gazed at Drillmaster Cooper . He couldn’t really understand why he was targeting him, but still, he just did what he said .

When Abel finished his jog, the other wizards had also regained their breath . “Gather round!” Drillmaster Cooper yelled .

15 wizards stood in a line, so Abel followed and stood at the end of the left side . Drillmaster Cooper gazed at him and didn’t say anything . That spot was quite suitable for Abel’s body .

“I don’t care about your background, or how powerful you will become in the future . At this moment, I am your trainer, and you are just a normal warrior . You must master all warrior skills to pass the training, no matter your background . ” Drillmaster Cooper continued to yell .

Everyone knew he was speaking specifically to Abel . You had to have some kind of extraordinary background to join the training halfway .

“Yes, Drillmaster!” The 15 wizards yelled together .

Abel was a little surprised . Even though a wizard was basically a soldier once they got their military card, Drillmaster Cooper could still make all of them follow rules in 2 months . That was quite something .

“K3516, I didn’t hear your reply . Every time I say something, you have to reply with Yes Drillmaster or No Drillmaster!” Drillmaster Cooper quickly walked in front of Abel and yelled at his face .

“Yes, Drillmaster!” Abel didn’t care too much about Drillmaster Cooper targeting him . This was Miracle City; everyone knew it’s a city organized by military command just by the look of it . At that moment, Drillmaster Cooper was his boss; he just had to suck it up if the request was not too unreasonable .

“Good . Next up, Drillmaster Layard will teach you how to treat wounds on the battlefield!” Drillmaster nodded and yelled again .

Abel then followed in the back of the line . When Drillmaster Cooper left, and Drillmaster Layard took the lead, the entire line let out a breath of relief .

Suddenly, a young wizard in front of Abel turned his head back and said, “Hey K3516, I am k3515, we were just putting up a show for Drillmaster Cooper just then . No one is actually angry at you!”

K3516 was a wizard with blond hair . He looked like he was around 30 years old . Maybe he didn’t care too much about preserving his identity, so he did not wear a mask . At that moment his attitude was completely different from a minute ago .

This made sense . Wizards weren’t stupid . They all knew they could not offend a wizard who broke the rules and joined the training half way .

“Hello, I just got here . So I still need a lot of help from you!” Said Abel with a friendly voice .

Most of the wizards were wearing a mask . As Wizard Dunn had said, masks were a tradition for wizards . They had to let go of their past identity and become a human wizard . Therefore most wizards, especially the ones with inheritances, respected this tradition .

“K3516, you have good endurance . I’ve been here for 2 months, and I can barely even finish the run!” Said k3515 with a pair of admiring eyes .

A weak body was the weakness of Wizards . It was very rare to see a wizard with a body like Abel . Normally, the shorter you stayed as an apprentice wizard, the less your body would be corroded by mana . There was a saying; there was no short wizard journey . Therefore, under these long years of training, their bodies corroded by mana . Although they had Body Potion to help them heal, they could just have the body of a normal person at most .

“I was just born like this, that’s all!” Abel replied gently .

Abel then gazed at Drillmaster Layard leading the team and continued, “Yeah, I see everyone is afraid of Drillmaster Cooper, but how come no one is afraid of Drillmaster Layard?”

K3515 looked around and whispered, “Drillmaster Layard is not strict . As long as you don’t make a mistake, he won’t punish you . It is like Drillmaster Cooper has some kind of grudge with wizards; he was already unreasonably strict to us ever since the first day . If we made a mistake, he would hit us . He really trained wizards like soldiers, and everyone got a fair bit of beating from him here!”

“Didn’t anyone report him?” Abel asked weirdly .

Wizard had the most respectful occupation in the Holy Continent . Even the lowest rank apprentice wizards had a relatively high status within the common world . However, in Miracle City, wizards were being beaten around by a Drillmaster? That was hard to imagine .

“No one wants to stir up trouble; we are just like new soldiers . We’ve only 3 months of training . I heard the wizards in the past were also like this!” K3151 shook his head .

The day of training had finally ended, and the sky began to get dark . By that point, Abel had interacted with most of the wizards–From k3501 as k3516 . Although he didn’t know their names, he could sense that they were all rank 6 wizards .

“K3516, let’s go eat together!” K3515 yelled at Abel . He was the first person he met in the team, as well as the closest person .

It didn’t matter if k3515 was pretending to be nice or he was really this friendly, Abel was still happy that he could interact with someone in a place like this .

This place had finally looked a little different from a normal military camp after today’s training session had ended . The Drillmasters had left, so the wizards were allowed to do their own thing . There were 16 wizards, but only 10 of them had shown up for dinner .

“K3515, are we allowed to go to another place for dinner? Abel asked curiously .

“Some wizards in here are from big families, so they are not used to eating food like this . They will often use magic gems to buy some food!” Said k3515 with a smile . “So, there is no training at night?” Abel continued .

“Of course not . We are wizards; the training at night is the most important . As long as you come back to the camp in time, you can go anywhere you want . ” K3515 explained .

By this point, Abel finally noticed the special privilege of wizards in here . No matter how military-like this place was, a Wizard would still have their privileges .

The dinner is free, so Abel had no choice . Still, it was not as bad as k3515 had described . It was basically similar to the food he had in Morton magic tower .

White bread with some butter–a lot of butter, a cup of honey water, smoked fish, a little piece of beef, and a bowl of beans . Maybe they were trying to help wizards recover . Abel knew if everyone in Miracle City could eat like this, their expenses would be astronomical .

K3515 began to laugh when he realized what Abel was thinking “This is a Wizard meal, normal soldiers just have brown bread and some meat soup . The knight’s meals are a little bit better . They have white bread instead of brown bread . ”

When Abel heard what k3515 had said, a word flashed in his head “privilege . ”
