Triss after eating his lunch he went towards his room to change clothes for training.
At the training field 64 students from class A and B were already standing there, Triss started thinking possible ways to use his lightning affinity along with his fictional knowledge from earth.
While he was thinking, a professor suddenly came infront of some students which made them startled.
"Hello students, i am your training professor Steve Johnson. Now everyone while facing towards stand in horizontal line." As Steve said he started observing students while holding his hands back.
"Hmm, it seems here most of the girls haven't done the basic training. Why, didn't you all knew that after school you would definitely join academy or military training. Your hands are looking so fragile that, just a force from my pinky finger could break your bones." While complaining girls he stood before Triss.
"Not only girls but there some boys where their hands are even more fragile than girls. Why boy, did you only sleep in your house."
'Fuck, am i the only person who didn't do training until now. Obviously whenever I had a free time i would just sleep, i thought that training could be done after graduating from school.'
"But don't worry, since you have joined this academy you would have to become stronger." Steve said with a mischievous smile.
'fuck, those types of smile are oblivious. I have a feeling that he might ask me to double the amount of training than my classmates. Oh boy i am dead.' Triss was already scared that he might not get proper rest.
"Now, do you see those sandbags behind me. Everyone go and choose a sandbag and stand infront of it. Afterwards you start punching those sandbags until you burst open those sandbags with your elemental affinity."
Suddenly a student asked "sir, we don't even know how to materialize or use our elemental affinity. Then how could we burst open those sandbags." As the guy asked, other students were nodding their heads regarding the guy's question.
Steve spoke "That's the training I am giving to you. I know that all of you don't know how to control or direct your elemental affinity. But when you experience pain, you would instinctively start to control your affinity power, and if you do it once then you could easily do it in next time."
"So, punching sandbags continuously would give you pain, and from that pain you would try to burst those sandbags as quickly as possible. And there is only one way to do it, yes that is by controlling your affinity power."
"You have to burst these sandbags only once, it doesn't matter if they have 1 or 5 elemental affinity. Because if you find out how to control just 1 elemental affinity you would be automatically able to control other Elemental affinity as well."
"Also, today everyone has to burst open these sandbags. They would not be sleeping until they control their affinity power.Those who finishes this task early can get rest."
"Now go, start punching those sandbags. There is a reward for those who complete this tasks first, they would have a chance to kill a psycho monster that have been captured by us. I think you all know about psycho monster, it helps for your affinity growth."
Hearing Steve's many students were motivated and started punching sandbags like crazy.
'Hmm, i don't think my hand could survive today. Oh boy i am fucked up with these frail hands.' Triss complaining his own hands stood infront of a sandbag and started punching.
...
Over 50 punches Triss was already sweating profusely, along with afternoon 2 PM made it even worse for him. There was not a single cloud in the sky to give him.
'Fuck, at least a hint of spark could motivate me man. But instead of spark only blood is pouring out from my body. Ahh just how the hell should I control my affinity.' Triss started to have his motivation go dimmer.
Other students were also experiencing like him. Some were shouting while some were doing some kitty punch from exhaustion.
"Hey, hey, no resting. You could only rest after you control your affinity. Well don't worry, even if you are on the verge of death we have healers from plant elemental affinity. So punch faster." Steve spoke while spanking a guy who was resting.
While everyone were making some depressed face and punching the sandbags suddenly they heard a loud
BOOM.
This jolted everyone, then all of them started to look at the source of the sound.
"Oh, oh. It seems we have our first winner and that is ... Lily Foster. Congrats girl, now go towards the healers and stop your bleeding. And take this ticket and show for professor Scott. He would lead you towards your reward." Steve praised Lily for her hardwork and success.
...
Lily's knuckles were bleeding and was breathing heavily. Still she had a smile on her face 'that was tough, the first affinity that responded to my call in pain was gravity. So this is how I should control my affinity huh. Also i think now i could use other affinity as well. It was just as professor said, but I don't think I have enough strength to use other affinity. It seems after punching so many times and using gravitational affinity took toll on me. Well i have to find out tommorow, about my other affinities in practice.' Lily thinking about her affinities made her way towards healers who were watching kid's punching those sandbags.
...
Many students after seeing Lily were in shock while some started talking.
"Don't tell me that she not only got lucky and got 5 elemental affinity along with she is a prodigy in affinity control, man nature cheated us man. Like how is this even possible. I don't feel a single thing from my affinity and she already started controlling her affinity."
"Heh, heh, less talk more work. Now get back to punching." Steve started speaking.
While students started focusing on punching suddenly temperature rose like crazy and they heard another
BOOM
This time it was Loro who was standing there while flames where swirling around his fist.
'that was intense, so this how it feels to control our affinity huh. I just have to gather the energy around the part of my body I want and the flames would gather around that part. These flames are very offensive.'
"Congrats Loro, now go towards the healers."
"Heh, how come did he control his affinity while he only has 1 elemental affinity." A guy spoke furiously in frustration over himself.
"As i said it doesn't matter whether one has 1 elemental affinity or more than 1. It only depends on how quick you understand how to control your affinity." Now resume your work.
'As i would expect from both of them, i knew that, somehow Lily would come first while our supposed MC having his secret, pushed himself to get that second rank. But here I am, i don't feel anything from my affinity. Just how long will it take man.'
...
After about 3 hours everybody had learnt to control their affinity expect for only Triss. Yes because of his frail body he wasn't able to punch due to the exhaustion. That's why professor had given him a pill that would temporarily give him a little energy.
'holy..huff.. just how long. I only felt a tingling sensation one time and suddenly puff. Nothing. I don't feel anything from my hands.' after taking the pill Triss stood up and again started punching the bag.
Suddenly he felt tingling sensation again in his hand. 'control, control keep swirling around my hand.' Triss started to control and started to store those lightning around his fist.
Then he throwed punch with every bit of strength he had in his body. BOOM. The sandbag got blown away with lightning still swirling around the bag.
'finally, huh that took forever. From now on i could use my lightning yahoo.' he let out a big relief while still standing.
Sparks were coursing through out his body.
Seeing this Steve spoke "you took so long. From tomorrow onwards your training will be doubled than other's. Still congrats."
Hearing Steve's words Triss face became ugly. Then he made towards healers.
