COTE X Solo Leveling

I

[A/N: It's really hard to think about interesting chapter names, so I would be using Roman numerals instead. How was the last chapter? Did you like it? If yes then hope you like this one too ^_^]

Three years after the incident

3rd Person POV

A Lot of kids could be seen playing with each other in a completely white coloured room. There were some kids running around while others talking to each other or playing with toys. They are provided with the most nutritious food possible. Even though they are just three years old, they are taught multiplication, division and other primary school level stuff. Most people may see this as perfect a daycare center or so but the truth is usually harsh...

Timeskip 1 year later

3rd Person POV

'The caretakers (they don't know that they are being experimented by the scientists) told us that from today we are going to begin our training. I wonder what we are going to do. They said that it's going to be a surprise. Ahhh what should I do I'm so excited!' thought the children enthusiastically in unison. Poor souls didn't know that it was their last time being excited about their training.

Entering the huge room the excited children saw a place that looked liked a gym. Equipped with tons of exercising equipment, a 400m(1312 feet) long track and a 50m(164 feet) long pool. It could be compared to the military, no even better than that. They didn't know how good the equipment was as they never seen other equipments to compare with.

Few moments later a tall and buffed man came near them and shouted "LINE UP!!!". The children lined up just as they were taught ever since they could walk. After a brief pause the man continued "I am going to be your instructor in physical exercise and that is it. Questioning in not permitted. NOW GO AND RUN TEN LAPS AROUND THE TRACK WITHOUT STOPPING!!! IF YOU ARE UNABLE TO COMPLETE THE TASK YOU WILL BE PUNISHED THOROUGHLY. REMEMBER THAT!!"

Kiyotaka POV

From the fear of being punished we started running around the track, no jogging would be better to describe it. Some of my friends were leading the group. We ran together for two laps but after two laps some of us started loosing speed they were falling behind. Looking at them we slowed down a little for them to catch up with us. This went on till the 5th lap. There all of us became really tired. At this point most of us including me weren't even jogging anymore, at this point we were just walking while making hand movements that are made while running. The leading members continued running slowly.

Timeskip after all of them completed the 10 laps
Still Kiyo POV

After we completed the 10 laps we were told to line up. Soon our instructor came said "Everyone who came in the top 17 go and take a bath after that you can go to your room. The rest of you stay here and wait for me". As I was in the 69th place I stayed there. After a while the instructor came with 3 other people all of them carrying a lot of black sticks that looked like they were used to beat people.

Thinking about what they would with the sticks I started sweating as I thought they would use it to beat us but why so many sticks? Suddenly the instructor called a boy who got the last place. All of us watched boy who was called by the instructor as he slowly approached him. The instructor took a stick and hit the boy in the head knocking out his consciousness. He then said "This stick is a blunt weapon called a baton. It is mostly used for law enforcement but you will use it toe fight against each other until only 1 of you is standing".

Hearing that all of us became terrified and some even started crying. "How can I fight my friends? I don't want to hurt them nor do I want to be hurt. What should I do?" I thought.
