System: Everyone, training time...
Z: Eh whatever.
Z goes to his training room.
29: Listen up, usually others combat training would be normal, but yours is different.
Z: Huh?
29: I want you to move like a zombie.
Z: Won't that cause backpain?
29: Excactly, if you get used to fighting moving like that, imagine what monster you will be when you start moving normally.
Z: And if I don't get used to it?
29: Then you will simply get killed. If you're not able to withstand the training then you're worthless.
Z: Won't you also get killed?
29: I don't care. Now bend over.
Z: What...
29: Shut up, you know what I meant.
Z bends his body downwards.
29: I want you to fight me like that.
Z: Are you insane? It hurts just staying like this.
29: So? Ignore the pain.
Z: You're not being reasonable.
29: That's the point, now fight me.
Z tries to throw a punch but it easily gets blocked.
29: Wrong, do you really think punches are the optimal attack for that form?
Z: What do you want me to do?
29: Chop, slap, scratch, anything else. Let's run a simulation. Look at the holograms fighting.
Hologram 1 stands just like Z is expected to, he runs towards hologram 2, pins him to the ground and starts punching his face while chocking him.
29: Now obviously, you can't copy that everytime you fight, because it depends on the situation.
Z: Well, I think I kind of understand. When you told me our training was revolved around eating humans, I didn't expect this.
29: Another thing. When fighting someone make sure you feel free. If you want to you can tear their skin apart and eat it, or maybe rape them if that's your preference.
Z: So you want this weird pattern to become a lifestyle?
29: Yes, I also expect you to dodge bullets like this of course.
Z: You really expect this to be possible?
29: Yes.
A tv closes.
19: Understand everyone else's training?
N: Yes, but what does that have to do with anything.
19: Z, your training is to become a zombie. Understood?
N: Wh-what? Y-yeah ok.
19: Perfect Y. So you understood what we want to use you for?
N: I already told you, yes.
19: You won't be needing your letter X, it's mine.
N: Alright stop, what is going on.
19: Shut up W.
N: I'm so confused...
Everybody continues their training.
System: It's dinnertime.
R: What about lunch time?
21: It got skipped. Now go.
R: Really?
R goes to the dinnertable.
R: Wait... It's one big table?
System: It is a celebration of your first day of training.
E: Eh well.
System: Another thing, this is your last dinner together. The rest will be eaten with your caretakers. If you don't have any then enjoy eating alone.
I: I actually kind of like that.
R: Yeah, I really don't see a problem with that.
Everyone finishes their food without talking.
R: Well, I'm going to bed.
Z punches R out of nowhere.
R: What the hell is wrong with you.
Z goes in for another punch, but R punches back.
Z: I'm training.
Z goes in his weird position, he goes towards R in all fours, R grabs Z by his hair and tries pulling but Z pulls his leg and R falls down. Z starts punching and he starts drooling.
R: Gross.
R punches Z in the jaw.
Z: That really hurt you know...
R: Because it didn't hurt for me?
Z: Why should I care about you?
M: Interesting. Am I the only one who thinks fights would help us? Hey system are you watching? Why not host weekly fights?
System: That wouldn't be fun now would it? Where is the chaos?
M: I guess.
N punches M and also gets in the position that Z was in. It hurts a lot, but he ignored the pain.
M: Wait, what about the trainings being differe-
R punches M on his chest, and N pulls him down. R tries to crush his face with his elbow, but E pulls R away by the shirt.
R: What are you doing? You want what he's having?
E: That's enough. Just stop it already. There is no point in fighting.
R: It's training isn't it?
E: Not really. A, would you like to explain, or should we continue?
A: I don't know why you're bringing me into this but fine, there is no point since we haven't really learned anything yet. I guess it was a warmup for what's about to come, but that's clearly enough.
System: That's enough it's bed time.
A: Great, I stood up late today. Good night everybody.
Everyone goes to bed, and they wake up the next morning.
4: Good morning subject.
A: Good morning.
4: Today you're getting beat up to death.
A: This is a joke ri-
4 punches A in the chest, and since A is weak, it hurt more than it should've. A tries to punch back but it has no effect on 4. 4 shrugs it off then punches A as hard as he can with his right hand, and holds him by the shirt with his left so he can't escape. A starts bleeding. After he thinks he's done, he drops A on the floor. A blacks out.
4: Wake up.
A: H-huh?
4: You're too weak for anything, tanking attacks, punching, everything.
A: W-what do you want from me?
4: Honestly, you're so garbage I don't even expect anything.
A has a flashback.
A: What do you want from me?
?: Honestly, you're so garbage I don't even expect anything.
A has another flashback.
A: Please mom, I'm starving. Can I just have one bite?
?: You don't deserve it. You didn't do everything I told you to. You forgot to clean the table.
A: BUT THAT'S BECAUSE I'M STARVING. I HAVEN'T EATEN FOR DAYS...
