And then Qin Shanyuan jumped from behind and then shouts "Defiant SLASH!" her sword came bearing down as she slash the back of the Magma Golem she struck it in half and the front and arms of the Golem that was leaned to the front slowly sliding and dropping on the ground.

"NICE WELL DONE!" Li Xiaosheng yelled, as he felt excitement and euphoria. Qin Shanyuan raised her sword while he was panting for air. "Well, that was a successful team work we have there," Li Ye exclaimed, and Cai Dinxiang nodded.

"Sir, could you believe it! They could defeat a Magma Golem Monster," Fang Shirong whispered to Jin, that was standing in front.

"I can see let them do that for a month," Jin said as he turns around and remembers his past struggles with the lost of his mom and also his father that have left them. All of it is coming back to him. He thought it will be easy, but he is always being hunted by every dream in his sleep.

After Jin said that fang Shirong nodded, and he turns around facing Han Zian and Qi Meili, "The Squad leader sai that they will do that for 1 month" and they replied with "Ah well I guess we are going to watch" Han Zian stated as he goes back at the bench to sit and watch.

[2 month has passed of the 6 months]

"Mhmm 30 days is not enough for their life to be saved by monsters like the Volcanic minion and many other monsters out there" Fang Shirong looked at them while fighting monsters from lone spiked wolves to naga Slaughterers and Devourers. "At least they can handle such enemy presence in the place," Han Zian stated as he also was facing the window that was overlooking at the squad candidates.

"How was the training, Fang Shirong?" Jin exclaimed, and Fang Shirong turns around and there they saw how Jin was getting buff a few weeks after starting doing some exercises. "Well, sir, as you can see here, that formation is really the problem. Their standing is 34 wins 67 losses."

Fang Shirong exclaimed and then Jin replied, "So you are telling me they died for 67 times. That is not our standard in training our candidates and doing our mission.

Make it sure that after their training make them do some physical exercises, especially for the agility and power stats after that they also need to learn tactics, so they can assimilate themselves to each other."

After that Fang Shirong nodded and agree on what have Jin has to say. The battle has gone to an end and likely the group could finish the simulation and all of them stayed at attention while fang Shirong was going down from the stairs.

Even in a place where it mostly hot and there is a weather control. "I want all of you to drink the 2 liters of water that were supposed to be given to you. After that they line up at the obstacle course."

After that all the candidates nodded and started drinking their water after that, all of them feel that their stomach was full of water. Li Ye almost vomits the water he drank earlier. "Argh- my stomach hurts damn I really blotted damn this" Li Xiaosheng faced Li Ye,

"I ordered all of you to do 5 laps at the obstacle course move!" and all of them turned around and rushed towards the obstacle course but before all of them could climb on the first obstacle Li Ye cannot hold no longer and vomits.

"Dang bro are you alright?" Li Xiaosheng asked and Li ye only nodded as reply. "What Lu Ye are you leaving are you going to quit?" Fang Shirong shouted as he looked at Li Ye. "No Sir!" he shouted as a response to Fang Shirong's questions.

After that they all began starting the first obstacle of the course. They were all sweaty after the 1st lap, and soon enough they could do teamwork as their mindset was to finish the obstacle as a group and with that no one was being left behind.

"They are learning what is the meaning of a squad, no? Fang Shirong?" Han Zian stated as he face Fang Shirong that was beside him. "For now, we will see if they can still do that if the time gets intense," Fang Shirong replied. "Last 1 hour and 30 mins!" Fang Shirong shouted, and all of them looked at Fang Shirong that was at the tower.

"We can do this we can do more lets do this team!" Li Xiaosheng shouted, and then followed by Li Ye "We are going to finish in a one team one squad HOORAH!" and with that rather than their moral is reducing the morale they have were increasing every time they could get over one obstacle.

After they finish the training for the obstacle, they then did some laps. Their bodies were sweaty and their breathing was quiet, heavy. As their muscles are cramping, their adrenaline was all across their bodies. But even that they are also gasping because of how intense the training was.

"All of you have time to rest for 30 minutes and then we are doing an exercise at the obstacles once again" Fang Shirong looked at them, "And to add, the mess hall have created a meal separated from the others so you may eat in the 30 minutes of rest." the Staff of the mess hall arrived.

They all gathered, and after a few minutes, they placed the food in front of them. They portioned the food that was given to them."I am hungry, I want to eat more than I usually eat," Li ye whispered.After that they could eat the food that was served to them.

[3 month has passed in the 6 months]

"Now that we are entering the 3 months of the Hell month, the rotation will be the 1st squad I will put them into the simulation of the field of battle and the 2nd squad will do exercises and obstacle courses. And both squads will do it 15 times with no skip" after that Fang Shirong turns around. "How is the training, Fang Shirong?" Jin asked as he was approaching Fang Shirong.

"Sir, the training will surely finish in time and they are slowly improving their techniques, especially in doing teamwork." After Fang Shirong said that, Jin only nodded and cross his arms. After that Jin turns around and focus on himself as the flashback was keeping him awake from the starry nights.

"Sir, are you okay?" Fang Shirong asked as he saw Jin was unstable and not that interactive as much as last time. "Yea, Fang Shirong, don't worry about me" after that fang Shirong nodded, "I will handle the Hell months Sir"

"Thank you for that sincere handling Fang Shirong. Hope they can fight bosses after this hell months if not, they will not fight for the future." Jin exclaimed as he turns around and then another flashback of a dark void was engulfing him slowly.

``Not this again, this is not what I want.`` Jin thoughts as the flashback was slowly happening his mother being killed and his father turning to the all powerful Wolf himself the leader of the notorious Wolf pack Guilds and then their enemy was the N.D.A.M with the Southern Government.

``How can I handle and fight myself if myself is not helping me fight this argh!`` Jin clenched his fist, Fang Shirong face Jin and said "Squad leader!" and inside Jin head it was not "Squad leader but Hey Stupid turn around!" and from that moment JIn turns around and rushed forward.

Fang Shirong did not know why is Jin rushing towards him because he was in a state of confusion. The first one to get on the floor was Fang Shirong, and then Jin grabs his collar and then said, "You are my worst enemy, Wu Meng!" Jin was about to punch Fang Shirong, but luckily. Han Zian punched Jin down, which after knocking him down on the ground.

"Squad leader, what are you doing!" Han Zian shouted, and Jin clapped from reality. Wu Meng's face change to Fang Shirong's face. "I am sorry I need to go back to the Barracks." JIn stood up immediately and walks away after that, Han Zian and Fang Shirong were standing there did not know what happened and confused about what is happening inside Jin head.

"We really need to help him and what is the source of his anger. We need to call Qi Meili I think she knows something about the background of the Squad leader," Han Zian stated and the Fang Shirong replied, "I agree on that" after that both of them leave the place and tried to find Qi Meili.

They both saw Qi Meili working on the communication log of the previous mission. "Hey," Han Zian greeted Qi Meili as they both entered the office barracks. Qi Meili looked up and there she saw the two approaching him.

"What can I do for you guys?" Qi Meili smiled. "Can you help us, the squad leader is different when we returned a few months ago."

Qi Meili felt stressed when she heard that "Well, what I can say is that we can help the Squad leader, but we can only a small thing and that is to support him emotionally. I think he facing something that he can't share with us.

And he needs to get it over for him to understand that he is still a person and not a robot," Qi Meili exclaimed.

After that, Fang Shirong and Han Zian nodded and then go back to the Dome simulation.. And after that they saw the candidates were on the floor lying down because of the heavy fighting.
