(this is a short of the training some of our characters went through, namely, the one's we seen already, a part 2 will be made in future chapters as we introduce more characters, you have been warned, don't like boring detail stories that feel like filler, then skip, but this help's build character and storytelling so I recommend you read till the end)
Bell
as Bell was over the grave of his aunt buried next to his mother, he put a rose on both their graves, sad, but not crying either.
Bell:"... I'm sorry it had to come to this... but I wouldn't do anything differently if you weren't"
Zeus:" that's enough Bell, that's enough"
Hera:" is it done"
Bell:" ... I'm sorry gra-"
Hera:" stop, don't apologize, it's her who had to answer for her actions, planning to leave you and me behind, not even caring if we were going to be hurt, even if she was my daughter... at least like this, she keeps her name clean"
Bell:"... I want to be stronger"
Zeus:" pardon"
Bell:" I want to be stronger, strong enough to never need to do this again... or at least, be able to choose other options"
Hera:"... you're not going to have an easy or present path, you know that, right"
Bell:"... I will kill the Calamity, but I will remain true to myself, and after that, if I live, I'll do what I can to keep peace, that's all I'll ask for with my strength"
Zeus:"... fine, so the best way to get stronger is with experience, young as you are, you won't be able to join a familia, at least not legally anyway"
Hera:" but you are old enough to join the hunters, we'll put you in as a medic since that will get you to experience in both combat and medicine, plus, you already got taught how to make certain medicines and poisons from the local herbalist, so it's not like you need to learn much anyway"
Zeus:" and we'll also see you become a blacksmiths assistant since skills in the forge will help you know weapons and armor better, what better way than to make them yourself to understand them, plus, you might be able to apply a few upgrades if you see fit, though that one may take a while to do since there are no blacksmiths at the moment"
Hera:" before we do this, are you sure you're ready for this though"
with that question, Bell filled with determination and anger at his own weakness to prevent this tells his grandparents that he will do all he can, and with that, Bell's days as a hunter would be one of constant hardship and struggles as Bell was beaten, stabbed, and bashed on more than one occasion, and near death a few times in his life while also getting some trauma as well, learned how to use a bow, a variety of swords, a shield, a spear, and also knives in combat and also how to use them for survival, learned what he could to survive in nature as well as hunt, and also make medicine as well as perform some medical treatment to a variety of injuries, and also train hard under a strict instructor to toughen him up
it was hard, brutal, spartan training, but through all of that, molding Bell to be used to fighting monsters and also get a sense of how leadership works through Issac, and thanks to later becoming a blacksmith assistant years later, got a good grasp on weapons, armor, and what differences there are between even the smallest detail in it, as well as get some hand to hand training from the likes of Zeus and Hera at times.
Haruhime
Ishtar and an 11-year-old Haruhime were in an arena, both wearing sparing clothes as Haruhime was iffy on this as she was nervous and somewhat hesitant, seeming to be scared looking down with a sad look on her face.
Ishtar:" what's wrong, are you nervous cause of us sparing"
Haruhime:" well... I'm grateful you bought me, took off my slave color, bathed me, and feed me till I was better, and I do want to help repay your kindness, but... hitting a god seem's..."
Ishtar:"... (disappointed exhale) (disappointed tone) I understand"
then within the blink of an eye, Ishtar punches Haruhime in the gut with enough force to break 3 ribs, as Ishtar then grabs Haruhime by the throat, choking her with one hand as Haruhime coughs up blood from her gut punch, bearly breathing as well.
Ishtar:" remember child, I am a goddess of war, I did not become one by being delicate, weak, or incapable of fighting"
she then let Haruhime go to be given healing magic as medics were on standby, and Ishtar cracks her knuckles as Haruhime is not somewhat scared and intimidated by the goddess leaning over her.
Ishtar:" any thoughts you had of hurting me should leave your head now, I'm not some delicate damsel in distress, I am a warrior who has fought her fair share of bloody battles, and with the help of my Ki and my status as a war goddess, I'm basically a level 5"
she then stomped the ground lightly for Ishtar but sent a shockwave that sent Haruhime back to slam against the wall, who was more scared now than ever.
Ishtar:" FIGHT ME WITH ALL YOU GOT OR YOU'RE GOING TO END UP IN BEATEN AND BROKEN SOONER RATHER THAN LATER, AND DON'T YOU DARE HOLD BACK ON ME"
Ishtar's thoughts:" this is for the best, the girl wanted to be an adventurer, she'll get her wish, but I never was one to hold back on my teachings, so why start now, especially since a real battlefield is far less forgiving since we have everything under control here"
Ishtar:" now, consider this sparing my version of "tough love" and take it in stride"
while Haruhime was scared, she wanted to become stronger, so she slapped the sides of her cheeks and got up to inevitably get the daylight knocked out of her, even with Ishtar holding back her strength and speed for a level 1 to handle (if not leaning to a level 2) her skill, combat techniques, and experience in a fight wasn't held back in the slightest as Haruhime would have 3 broken limbs, almost all her ribs broken, a few open wounds, both eyes blacked out with cuts on her face, and her face, the left side of her midsection, and left leg swollen, though, all of her Parameters that day went from I rank to D rank that day, and while Haruhime was ecstatic about it, it quickly faded when Ishtar told her that she can not train her harder now, which made the fox pee herself then and there while passing out from fear.
Lefiya and Enia
in the Twilight Manor, both Enia and Lefiya were getting ready to spar with one another in their Familia's sparing room, a room with a magic device that sends them to a separate dimension that is separate from the real world.
(due to how powerful Adventures are, unless they're in the arena or in this separate dimension, the collateral damage would be so great, that in some cases, they might accidentally cause the genocide of the area if not the entire mortal world if they are high enough in level)
While Enia is a level above Lefiya, due to Enia not being able to use Ki yet and Lefiya being able to use Ki, it was more even of a fight.
Enia:" I know you don't like formalities, but are you sure there aren't better opponents to fight with you today your ladyship"
Lefiya:" you're older than me, been in the Familia longer than me, and higher level than me, so don't treat me like I'm above you, this is as good as any, especially since fighting someone who is a higher level than you is a great way to get your Parameters up"
Enia:" and I guess I could use some practice, I've been in the guild a little longer than normal which messes with my training"
then as the 2 spar, they spar hard almost as if they are literally fighting to kill one another with how vicious they are sparing, both punching one another in the face hard enough to make both their faces swollen from the punch, and they attack one another relentlessly, blocking hits with their arms and grapples to catch the hits, their legs try to kick or trip the other but are blocked or countered, using forms of boxing, wrestling, Pankration, and Kung fu to strike one another relentlessly, Enia is able to get a good grasp of Lefiya as she throws her over her shoulder to slam her into the ground with such force, it causes an 8.5 earthquake and has a massive crater form, and Lefiya, almost completely unphased, kicked Enia in the gut with a Donkey kick and has Enia flying away so fast, she broke the sound barrier the second she flew and almost traveled as fast as light while flying away, and upon being slammed into a mountainside almost on the other side of the world that was formed, the mountains were obliterated along with almost half the planet being swept up in the shock that occurred, having visible cracks in the planet from space.
(yes, this is how intense their fights can be, so imagine how powerful the dungeon is from not only withstanding but outpowering even higher-level adventures attacks repeatedly and consistently)
the 2 would battle till they were forced out breaking the planet they were using to spar on and getting a good workout, Lefiya got 5 broken bones, a few torn muscles, and couldn't see out one eye, Enia got 2 broken bones, severe blunt force trauma on her torso, head, and also has a concussion as well, even with Ki, Enia was clearly the stronger of the 2, as they say nice workout and head to medical to get patched up, and Riveria is happy that Enia and Lefiya are sparing since it's been a while since she seen Enia really work to improve her status as an adventure, wanting Enia to focus a bit more on her standing in their Familia
Rose
Rose gets on her training gear, which consists of a sports crop top, compression shorts, and bandages wrapped around her forearm, goes barefoot, and also ties her hair into a messy ponytail to keep her hair out of the way as she gets ready to train, first, she has the weights that make her work more to move on her arms, and legs, put's on a weight belt o the same type, and then she does her annual routine, 10,000 one-handed handstand pushups for each arm, 10,000 one legged squats for each leg, 10,000 situps, and after all that, only an hour has passed as her enhanced speed and perception makes time move so much slower for her, she then takes a short water break, taking only 2 drinks of water before she does more of her workout
with her Familia, they do their run which also counts for recon for the area, and fights whatever they find while their movements are limited which even then is still overkill for the surface monsters, their patrol covered a 50-mile radius of Oranio, and that is done within 2 hours by them, then in their Familia's training room, Rose spars with the other level 5 in their Familia, Rethusa, and the 2 battle it out, Rose using her werewolf traits such as her claws and fangs to attack as well, almost tearing off Rethusa arm and leg while fighting, and by the end of it, both show their battle's intensity by how injured they are, getting patched up, Rose is definitely determined to get stronger, and with everything going on, she would need to soon, as she felt that something is bound to happen sooner or later.
and that is the training they all went through, this session was to add world-building and also add to the plot I am focusing on, and while I didn't add much for Roses fight against Rethusa, who in my story is level 5, it would have been a copy past of Lefiya and Enia's with only small differences, so I left it out due to not wanting to repeat myself
