Timeless Assassin

Chapter 121: A New Hell

(Rodova Military Academy – The Physical Training Class)

The early morning air was crisp, but it did little to keep Leo from noticing Professor Marvin's piercing gaze drilling into him.

As he stretched, shaking off the lingering haze of sleep, he couldn't help but feel like today's session was going to be a nightmare.

He, Su Yang, and Mu Shen already trained under a regimen far more brutal than the rest of the class, but for some reason, Marvin still didn't look remotely impressed this particular morning.

"Boys, the way Marvin's looking at us today, I'm definitely not getting any good vibes.

He's already got us carrying 80-kilo vests while the rest of the class barely manages 40.

But I think he's ready to bump us up to 100 today—" Mu Shen said, as he shifted uneasily.

"I, for one, don't mind the weight increase. After the second genetic awakening shot, my body feels stronger than ever, and I'm itching to push it even more—" Su Yang added with a cocky smirk, as Mu Shen shot him a glare, clearly unimpressed.

At the start of the academic year, all three of them had been neck and neck in strength and endurance.

But slowly—inevitably—Leo and Su Yang had begun pulling ahead.

And Mu Shen hated it.

"Show-off." He mouthed silently before the clock struck 5:30 AM and Marvin's voice cut through the murmur of the class.

"It seems I've been going too easy on you kids the past few days, so it's time to increase your burden today!" Marvin declared, as a groan of protest rippled through the students.

"50-kilogram vests for the rest of the class.

Mu Shen—100 kilograms." Marvin said, as Mu Shen's eyes widened in disbelief, as he instinctively pointed towards himself.

"Why only me? What did I do?! Why do Skyshard and Yang get a pass?" He complained as Marvin's reply was instant.
