I Made My Underlings Go Train In Hell

"Wake up." Renee snapped. "How long have you been sleeping, slacking off, and ignoring the soldiers training?" 

"Ugh..." I yawned. "For about thirty minutes?" 

"Exactly! THIRTY WHOLE MINUTES!! All of that precious time wasted sleeping and slacking off. Get back to work, NOW!" She ordered. 

She yelled loud enough, I think that I could see extra exclamation points at the end of her sentence. The more I sat still the more they continued to grow. Cooooolll. 

I was still tired after that shopping trip yesterday. While it was quicker than normal, I got back to the palace at twelve that night. I also didn't get any sleep due to the bed. How was I supposed to sleep in a bed that was rock solid!? It was impossible. 

All because I dozed off for a measly thirty minutes, Renee was getting mad at me for supposedly taking away precious training time. I mean, I get that they are preparing for war and all, but how is a girl supposed to do anything when she doesn't get a lick of sleep? 

I yawned as I walked over to the soldiers I was in charge of. 

"Hey... all of you, spar against each other." I ordered. 

The silently began to spar with each other. I watched in hopes that maybe one of the spars would keep me interested enough to stay awake. I was sorely disappointed. It was like watching a bunch of mice swat each other with their tiny paws. Boooorrringg!

"Yo, boring knights!" I called out. 

"Miss?" 

"All of you, come at me. I'm tired of watching you pathetic weaklings bat each other with sticks. Take up real weapons and attack!" 

They turned heads and whispered back and forth between each other. Clearly, the were unsure of what they should do. I didn't know why, since I gave them clear instructions, but maybe they didn't hear me the first time. 

"Knights, all of you come at me at once with real weapons and full power!" I repeated. 

"Are you sure we should be doing that?" One asked. 

"Yeah, it seems kind of dangerous." Another one added. 

"Just do what I say! That was an order by your Vice-Commander!" I roared. 

They all backed up in fear and uncertainty, before slowly going to pick up real blades. I made the hand motion for them to come attack, and they ran towards me and swung with all of their might. 

The first solider sent his sword towards my collar bone, which I easily blocked, and bounced back. Then, two charged in for a combo attack. One weirded a broad sword, and the other a long sword. 

The girl with the long sword lunged towards the right side of my abdomen, and as I dodged her lunge, the guy with the broadsword swung widely towards my gut. 

I blocked the strike with Reaper, and began my counter attack. I dub Reaper into the ground and forced she and the dirt holding her forward, flinging dirt towards the broad sword user, which temporarily blinded him. 

"That was dirty!" The long sword user accused. 

"There is no such thing as right or wrong in a fight! Do everything you can to assure your win, or else you'll be dead!" I yelled. 

Without further ado, I lunged towards the long sword girl and knocked her flat on her back with the back of my blade. I tried to lighten the blow, but she still passed out. With her out of commission, other soldiers began to attack me as well. 

Needless to say, by the end of it all, none of them had managed to scratch me. That figured, since not even Renee could beat me. However, it was pathetic that they only amounted to this much. It seemed I needed to add some harsher training conditions to improve them. 

"Everyone to attention!" I ordered. 

Those who had passed out were now awake and listening along with the rest of the troops. 

"I've noticed some major flaws with this entire group that each and everyone of you share. You all lack stamina and strength!" I announced. "That's why I'm going to introduce everyone to a new training exercise that will improve these two things!" 

"Oooh, what could you do to change their training regimen?" Renee inquired. "You may be strong, but I doubted you have ever trained troops." 

"You're right, I haven't trained troops. Nor will I ever have to. I have something else that does the job for me, and I have found that it is quite motivating factor of improvement." 

"Please do tell." 

"Alright! Don't be surprised." 

I had this skill whenever I was a player and since I could summon Reaper, I was ninety-nine percent sure that I still had access to all my skills. It was a door to the underworld's-Hell's- monster fields. When players asked me for help leveling up, I would push them inside this portal. 

Whenever they came out, they were always many levels higher than before, and I believed that it would improve these guys' abilities  just as it did in the game. Levels or no levels, they would get stronger or they would die trying. I'd always revive them if they died, but still, dying wasn't a fun experience. 

"Here it comes. Summon 'Gate Of Hell' all player version." I commanded. 

"Much to everyone's surprise, a fiery gate with freaky engravings of monsters, battle, death and wealth appeared out of nowhere. I thoroughly enjoyed the looks of terror on their faces when they saw the gate. This summoning provided me endless amounts of entertainment, how could everyone else not like it?

"Don't worry, it's my skill. It won't hurt you or anything, so keep on listening to me." I reassured. "I'm going to have everyone of you enter through this gate and experience real life battles with real monsters." 

"Wait, what? Are you trying to kill them!?" Renee interrupted. "I refuse to allow this!" 

"Chill. It's not the end of the world and I certainly don't want any of you dying. You can't really die in the gate. You won't die(and stay dead) during this exercise, I promise you all that." 

It took a lot more pushing and pursuing to convince Renee to allow this exercise to happen. She only agreed to it when I told her she could go to. She wanted me to come, but if I went, I told her we would be stuck there and unable to get back. 

Once I had everyone inside the portal, ready for transportation, I reveled the whole truth. 

"Ah, don't panic if you die, you'll be revived immediently. Though, I caution you to avoid injury and death, because you will still feel pain, you just won't stay dead." I warned them. "Have fun~" 

And with that, I sent my underlings to train in Hell.
