Friday, 11:50 PM
...
...
Blake is currently lying on his bed, he's bored as fuck.
"Boring..."
And he can't fall asleep...
So he took his phone, and went to a group chat.
The group chat's members were; Him, Alec, Adelle, Eve, Curtis, Aoi, and Raven.
And with that, Blake started sending texts to the group.
=====
[Blake]: Raven
[Blake]: Raven Raven
[Blake]: Raven Raven Raven
[Blake]: Raven Raven Raven Raven
[Blake]: Raven Raven Raven Raven Raven
=====
He keeps on calling for Raven, but Blake didn't recieved any reply.
And the others are just leaving him on seen.
'Raven's phone might be on silent...'
Blake thought.
And he's right, Raven's phone is on silent.
Also, considering the fact that it's 11:50 PM, Raven is probably sleeping, or preparing to.
And the same to the others as well.
But Blake didn't stop there...
Instead, he decided use a special feature of messaging called 'Emergency Text'.
Which would loudly ring the others' phones even though they're in silent mode!
And based on the name, it's a feature made only for emergencies...
But Blake doesn't really care about that, and he immediately send an emergency text to the group chat!
=====
[Blake]:<RAVEN>!!!
[Eve]:Shut up!
[Alec]:Blake... That's not how you use that feature...
[Curtis]:The fuck is wrong with you?!
[Adelle]:Blake, you're really funny lol
[Aoi]:...
=====
And his emergency message worked seeing how the others immediately replied to him...
Ting-
"Oh!"
And Raven finally replied.
=====
[Raven]:What the fuck do you want?!
[Raven]:I was fucking sleeping!
=====
Raven said.
Blake ignored how annoyed Raven is, and he immediately sent a text back.
=====
[Blake]:I can't fall asleep...
=====
He stated in his text.
"Oh... He's typing..."
Blake whispered to himself and waited for Raven's reply.
Ting-
And he doesn't have to wait for long.
=====
[Blake]:I can't fall asleep...
[Raven]: Well I can, good night.
=====
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtRaven replied.
"..."
Ting-
Ting-
Ting–
And the other members of the group chat followed!
=====
[Adelle]: Lol, Raven's such a dickhead HAHAHAHAHA
[Alec]: Raven...
[Curtis]: An idiot and a dickhead, what a combination.
[Eve]: Shut up!
[Curtis]: Okay
[Raven]: Fucking simp
[Adelle]: SIMP
[Alec]: SIMP
[Aoi]: SIMP
=====
The group chat is currently in chaos...
Ting-
"Huh?"
And while that was happening, Blake recieved a private text from Raven!
Blake opened it and read Raven's text...
=====
[Raven]: If you doesn't have anything to do, then train you idiot!
=====
Is what it said, and after that...
Raven logged off.
"Train huh..."
Blake mumbled and he got up from his bed.
Then, he looked to his left and saw a wall...
And behind that wall was where Raven's former room was.
'Raven's new room is so far away from mine.'
'Not just him, the others too and they're all staying in the same dormitory...'
Blake thought.
"Their rooms are way better than mine too."
Blake stated as he remembered how luxurious Alec's and Raven's room are when he visited them.
"It's no surprise, they're strong after all."
Blake mumbled as a smile crept up on his face.
"I guess I need to train more to not get left behind."
Blake said.
Then he looked at his own stats using his [PSC]!
=====

"I'm gonna rank up soon... Let's try requesting for a new room too."
Blake happily said as he started taking off his clothes.
And after taking his top off, many scars on Blake's body were revealed!
Some are big and some are small, some are shallow and some are deep.
And it was easy to see that the scars were caused by weapons!
Blake then looked at his own body...
"Oh, I need to use another high life potion to remove these scars."
"Man, it's only been a month since I healed my past scars."
Then he said with a bitter face!
Actually, Blake got all of his scars from his self-improvised endurance training!
And Blake has been training using his own method for the past 5 years, until now!
And he always use high life potions to heal and remove the scars he recieved from training at least 6 times a year!
'I'm still far away from my goal.'
Blake thought.
And Blake's goal is...
"To be the best tanker in the whole world, and protect everyone from danger with my broad shoulders!'
Blake happily exclaimed and he wore his new and improved training uniform that was provided by the [Student Council].
Then, he replied to the group chat...
=====
[Blake]:Curtis you're a SIMP.
=====
And after that, Blake left his room.
"To achieve my dream, I need to train more!"
He yelled.
Then Blake started running as fast as he could toward the [Student Council]'s private training grounds!
...With heavy weights attached on his arms and legs.
And the real reason Blake can't fall asleep is not because he's bored, it's because he's afraid that his friends will go on ahead and left him behind!
The reason he disturbed Raven is to ask for advice...
'But I don't actually need that, I can just train myself using my own method!'
Blake exclaimed internally.
***
After a minute of running at full speed, Blake arrived at the training grounds of the [Student Council].
And without further ado, he immediately entered one of the rooms.
Blake already know where he wants to go.
...
The room Blake entered is called [Sparring Room].
It's a room where there's a lot of robot that moves based on the room occupier's orders.
"..."
It's Blake's first time using the room, so he first looked around.
And after a while...
"Training start."
Blake mumbled.
[Please configure your training.]
Then a robotic voice replied to him.
Swoosh-
Blake took out a normal shield from his spatial storage.
Then, he opened his mouth confidently.
"I want 5 robots to attack me, continuously."
"Make them use different weapons."
"Make their strength a bit stronger than mine."
"And only make them stop if I'm gonna be seriously hurt."
Blake declared all of his orders without stuttering!
[Are you sure?]
The robotic voice asked.
And with a smile...
"Yeah."
Blake responded.
[Okay]
Thump-
Thump-
And right after that, a human-size plain white robot appeared few meters away from Blake.
It's holding a mace.
Thump-!
Swoosh-
And as soon as the robot saw Blake, it rushed at him!
It arrived in front of Blake.
Swish-
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThen the robot swung its mace toward Blake's head.
Boom!
Though, Blake easily blocked it using his shield!
Bam-
And he kicked the robot away from him.
Swoosh-
Then after that, a new robot appeared behind Blake!
Swaaah-
And it slashed its greatsword downward!
"Hmp..!"
Swish-!
And as a respond, Blake forcibly twisted his body to faced the robot.
BOOM!
Then Blake used the momentum of his spin, and he used his shield to slam the robot's side!
Fwiish–
Bam!
Sending the robot flying away from him!
Fwip-
Shoo-
Slash-!
But it didn't end there, as after that...
3 new robots appeared, surrounding Blake!
There's one robot on each of his side, and one behind him!
The robot on his left was holding a sword!
And the one on his right was holding a huge hammer!
And the one behind him was holding two daggers!
And all of their weapons are already aiming at Blake's body!
So what Blake did is...
He placed his shield to his left side by only using his left hand!
Ting-!
And he blocked the sword attack of the robot that's coming from his left!
And immediately after that, Blake raised his empty right hand...
Bam-!
"Keuk...!"
Then Blake let out a weak pained groan as he caught a hammer's head that was about to crush his head!
Phusck-
Phuck-
And after that, Blake felt 2 daggers stabbed his back!
But he ignored it, and instead...
"GRAAAAH"
Blake took the hammer from the robot that's on his right side.
Swoosh-
Then he did a full body 360 spin while he was holding out the hammer!
BOOM!
BAM!
And because of that, he hit the 3 robots around him with the hammer, and he sent them flying few meters away from him!
...5 robots were on the ground, motionless.
"Whoo..."
But Blake's fighting spirit is still raging.
"Let's continue."
Blake said with a smile.
Then...
Thud-
Thump-
Tap-
All of the robots started getting up again!
As a matter of fact, Blake doesn't really think he could win this match.
He only have one thing in mind, and that is...
'To endure as long as I can!'
"That's the job of the tanker after all!"
Blake exclaimed.
