Chapter 755: Thank You

As expected, no one could complete the extra training on the first day .

As the sun went down, it was way past their mealtime . Everyone was famished . The fastest among them had only completed a third of the extra training . Zhang Heng made sure he did not over perform during the training, crucial that he maintained moderate progress . Among all of the gladiator candidates, Bach suffered the worst . Even before their training volume was doubled, he already had to train harder than the rest of them . In other words, he had to work even harder after their training was doubled .

Looking like a fish out of the water, he stared at Gaby not far away from him .

And Gaby seemed to have not felt Bach’s anger and resentment . He watched the trainers walking among the crowd without saying a word while urging those who wanted to take a break to carry on with their training .

Finally, there was a candidate who could stand it no more . He threw away the training sword in his hand, shouting, “I want to eat!!! I want to eat!!! If you want us to train more, at least let us eat first . ”

Many actually agreed with him, but only three to five people responded . Although the rest did not speak up, the looks on their faces were enough to show that they agreed with his suggestion from the bottom of their hearts .

Gaby heard the words and walked to the man who threw away the training sword . He then said coldly, “Pick up your weapon . ”

Usually, the man who tossed the sword would not dare disobey Gaby’s order . But now, perhaps he felt that his request was reasonable, or perhaps he felt that there were a lot of people supporting him from behind that gave him more courage than usual . Hence, he didn’t bend down to pick up his training sword .

“Very well . You don’t need to train if you don’t want to train . You will be sent to the mines with the man named Varo the day after tomorrow,” said Gaby .

The man who threw the sword was shocked, realizing suddenly that he had just done something stupid . Gaby decided on the life and death of the slaves . With only one sentence, he could turn their fate upside down .

Since Mark Reuss was not here, Gaby was the king . Unfortunately, it was too late for him to beg for mercy now . Gaby seemed determined to make an example of him as a negative role model . After he dropped the order, two trainers came forward . They went up on both sides of the man and dragged him out of the training ground .

The latter screamed while struggling, “You can’t do this to me! Let me be a gladiator! I can make more money for the arena!”

“Do I look like I lack gladiators?” asked Gaby indifferently . He had made such a decision because he wanted to motivate the others to train harder . Besides that, he was in a nasty mood right now .

Habitus was not willing to obey his orders . After all, he was a veteran in this gladiator school, and he was also a celebrity in the arena . By comparison, the sword thrower was a nobody . Gaby was mad that he used his self-worth to threaten him . People like him could be replaced easily .

After all, no one in this group was irreplaceable except for Bach .

Just when the sword thrower was about to be dragged out of the training ground, the two trainers stopped moving forward suddenly . Gaby frowned, and the sword thrower was overjoyed . He thought Gaby must’ve changed his mind . What he did not realize was that Gaby was looking at the man behind him .

“Why are you back?” Gaby asked .

“The performance is over . I’m back here for the training,” replied Varo . His appearance had changed a lot . His beard that had not been shaved for several weeks was now gone, and his hair had been cut short . He looked way more energetic now . The most important thing was that his eyes were once again filled with vitality . It looked like he started to care about his life again . Obviously, he was in a rush when he cleaned himself up, considering the few razor cuts present on his cheeks .

“Didn’t I tell you that you don’t need to come back here anymore?” Gaby was indifferent as if he had not seen the changes on Varo .

“You said that I have three days to change your mind . The third day is not over yet,” said Varo calmly without feeling any fear .

“Interesting . ” Gaby was not angry when he heard how Varo talked . After a short pause, he continued, “I’m a man of my word . In this case, I will keep you until sunrise tomorrow . I have just doubled the amount of training . If you fail to complete it, you will be sent to the mines tomorrow . ”

“I will make sure I won’t be sent to the mines,” Varo proclaimed confidently .

“I think we will know the answer to this question soon . ” Gaby raised his chin, “Go back to training . ”

The sword thrower saw hope when he heard their conversation . He then quickly said, “I know I’ve done something wrong . Please let me continue to complete the training . I promise I will work harder than anyone else . ”

“No, I have found someone to fill your position now . You are no longer valuable to me . I hope you like the air in the mines . ” Gaby waved his hand and asked the trainer to drag the person away .

On the other side, Zhang Heng whispered to Varo, who was carrying the wooden pole, “Welcome back . ”

“Thank you,” replied Varo sincerely . Earlier, he looked as though he had given up on life, but it did not mean that he had no idea about what was happening around him . Varo knew that Zhang Heng fought with Bach because of him . And the reason why Gaby was willing to let him stay in this school for another three days obviously had something to do with Zhang Heng .

“You are a true friend . If I can continue to stay here tomorrow morning, I will definitely repay you in the future,” Varo added afterward .

Zhang Heng was curious about what happened to Varo . He thought that he had given up on himself, but it seemed like the trip to the area rekindled his fighting spirit . Could he have been moved by the gladiators’ heroism when they performed in the arena?

However, this was not the time for them to chit-chat . Their short conversation had managed to capture Gaby’s attention . So Zhang Heng quickly shut his mouth and carried on with the training .

…

At 3 a . m . , someone finally completed the training . And Zhang Heng was one of them .

Gaby was not inhumane . He did ask the cook to leave some food for them . Although the food was already cold, no one had the strength to complain at the moment . Everyone hurriedly went to bed after eating .

In the end, only Varo and his trainer were left on the training ground . Varo’s body was almost at its limit, but he clenched his teeth and did not give up on the training . Amid the training, he fainted once from exhaustion . However, he did not say a word when he regained his consciousness . All he did was continue to push himself to complete the regime .

Early the next morning, after Zhang Heng had finished breakfast, he went to the training ground . He saw that Gabi was already there and he was talking to his trainer .

“I don’t know why you insist on staying here . So what you complete all the regimes before sunrise? A new set will begin soon after that . How are you going to push yourself to carry on with the new set of training?”

“Hatred,” Varo wiped the sweat from his forehead . Something was burning in his eyes .

“There is no power stronger than hatred, right?”
