Chapter 96: Are You Ready To Bleed

The combat training was held in Lunaris training hall. The hall itself was huge and the walls were racks of weapons, blades of all shapes, staffs, shields, and other tools of combat. Each of them were well polished and gleaming under the fluorescent lights. The air in the room had a faint metallic tang, likely from the sweat and steel that had seen countless training sessions before.

"Are we going to war or what?" Violet couldn’t help but ask as she glanced around the room. This curriculum had not even been an option back at her old school, but Lunaris never stops surprising her.

She and Lila stood together amidst the crowd of other students who also were curious like her.

"So, do you know what we’re in for?" she asked her human encyclopedia aka Lila.

But even Lila shook her head. "This is my first time too. But from what I’ve heard, the class is intense. There is lots of physical training and little breaks. People say it’s brutal, but somehow, they still seem excited about it."

"Hmmm?" Violet tilted her head, surprised. "Excited? Are they insane?"

Before Lila could respond, the doors to the hall burst open, and a heavy silence blanketed the room. The combat teacher, a towering werewolf with a grizzled beard and piercing green eyes, entered the hall.

His mere presence alone was intimidating, and Violet felt her stomach twist with unease. There would be no mercy with this man, that much was clear.

But he wasn’t alone.

Behind him, the Cardinal Alphas followed, their mere presence enough to part the crowd like the Red Sea. Their commanding auras made the already tense atmosphere even heavier. Violet’s gaze flicked to Elsie on the far side of the hall, noting how her sharp eyes were fixed on the Alphas, particularly Asher.

Before Violet could process the moment, the teacher’s voice thundered through the hall, making her jump. "Drop! Give me twenty push-ups right now!"
