Hunter Academy: Revenge of the Weakest

Chapter 864 - 199.1 - Between

The gym at Arcadia Hunter Academy was a sprawling space, filled with various equipment designed for the physical training of the Awakened students. The air was thick with the scent of sweat and the hum of machinery as students went through their exercises, pushing their bodies beyond the limits of ordinary humans. It was a far cry from the quiet comfort of the library, but Jane had long since accepted that this was a necessary part of her training.

She stood in front of one of the high-tech machines that tracked speed and strength, her breath steady as she prepared for her next challenge. Her body had grown accustomed to the rigorous demands of being an Awakened—superhuman strength, enhanced agility, and heightened reflexes that could make even the most skilled athletes seem slow in comparison. But Jane knew that being an Awakened wasn't just about raw power; it was about control.

Her wavy brown hair was tied back in a tight ponytail to keep it out of her face as she adjusted her stance. She was wearing the academy's standard training attire—a form-fitting black suit designed for flexibility and durability. The fabric clung to her toned frame, highlighting the strength she'd built over the past months, even though she rarely allowed herself to acknowledge it.

Today, she had chosen to focus on her speed. The sleek machine before her measured her agility and the precision of her movements, something she'd been practicing over the past few days. She wasn't as fast as the most advanced students, but she was improving.

Taking a deep breath, she stepped forward. She activated the machine with a single swipe of her wrist, and the countdown began.

"Three... two... one..." The machine beeped, and Jane shot forward, her body moving in a blur of motion. Her legs powered her forward with the strength of an Awakened, her reflexes reacting faster than most could see. As she maneuvered through the obstacles—dodging, weaving, and sprinting—her mind focused purely on the movements, on keeping control. Her heart rate was steady, her body responding with fluid precision. Each step felt like a graceful dance, her body defying the limits of normal human movement.
