Dante's P.O.V.
"That damn old man,making me do 250 push-ups for interrupting his sentence." I cursed. I had been irritated for the past couple of hours for two reasons: the pain in my arms,and how he was taunting me while i was doing my push-ups."You weakling,can't even get 250 push-ups done,you'll never be an assassin at this rate." His voice still rang in my ears as i walked outside and found him sitting cross legged meditating on top of a huge tree. "Wow." I said. Somehow he heard me and in the blink of an eye, he was standing right next to me."Yo, Dante." He said calmly as if his teleportation didn't seem extraordinary to a regular 12 year old human boy."Adrian, what was that?" i asked him. "I'll tell you later." He teased."Now,Dante I have figured out your training schedule to become an assassin." I was silent, i did not want the amount increased to 500 this time. "It appesrs you have learnt your lesson," he said. "Very well then,do you see that tree over yonder." He said pointing to a tree about 10miles away. "Yeah,I do,what about it?" "I want you to jog to that tree at the crack of dawn and at dusk." I looked at Adrian with surprise written all over my face."When you have completed that you are to find a bear in this vast forest,wrestle with it, and bring it's head to me,following this you will have 300push ups to do." My expression was filled with fear,fear of this training, and fear of this man known as Adrian."Of course i know you won't meet the requirements for this all in one day,but you have one year to do so,once you meet these requirements i will teach you something different." He then rose dusted himself off and turned to leave,today is your final day of mercy Dante," he said his back towards me,turning his head and giving me a sinister glare he said "Starting tomorrow,hell begins." Then Adrian disappeared.
Third Person P.O.V.
It took Dante awhile to meet the requirements,the first time he only made it 3miles into his run before he collapsed from exhaustion.Then finding a bear was the hard part,for no matter where he looked,he could not find one.Meanwhile Adrian was in a tree smirking to himself because the night before he managed to move all the bears into the west of the forest and Dante was busy combing the east side. Eventually when Dante did find a bear he barely escaped with his life after wrestling it. After he had gotten far enough he dropped and did his 300. But it had gotten dark when he finished so he steeled himself and went on his way for his run, this time making it only 2miles before dropping down. And so Dante continued to do this every single day until 6months later, when he could run 10miles and barely break a sweat,wrestle a bear and bring back it's head to Adrian every night, and do 300push-ups in about 30minutes.One day Adrian appeared to Dante and said,"Dante you have improved but not quite have met the requirements to become a professional assassin."What are the requirements then?" Dante asked with a perplexed face. "Oh nothing too serious,you just have to be able to run 100miles,swim 150miles, wrestle 10bears and come out alive and have hand to hand combat experience." "That is physically impossible." Dante said plainly. "Oh don't worry." Adrian's voice was casual. "I'm only 24 and i can run 200miles,swim 400 and wrestle with 100bears and come out unscathed." He said proudly.Dante stared at Adrian in awe,he was amazed at the amount of determination and training that must've taken. "Dante," Adrain said with the closest he could get to love in his voice,"You've been training hard. Why don't you go bathe,clean yourself up, and we'll take a little break. Dante's face lit up. "Sure,Adrian!" Said Dante with delight in his eyes as he ran towards the lake to clean up.
