Marvel : Passive Upgrade System

[ 49:23 ]

The regime chief arrived while Ragnar is concentrating on the timer. The Regime chief is none other than Bjorn Larson. He is one of the commanders in Asgard who leads army during war times. He glanced at the trainees and said," you are barely out of your potty training. Here you'll become a man. A true who won't run away from the battle, a man who craves glory, a man who faces death like it's nothing. A man who will fight his way into Valhalla. Einherjar don't need cowards or weaklings. If there are any weaklings who will cower and run away at the sight of frost giant or any other enemy, those weaklings can leave now ".

Many turned to Ragnar, even Bjorn gave a glance to Ragnar but seeing his indifferent look, Bjorn frowned and said," since there are no weak willed here, we can start the training. Run 100 laps around the training ground now ".

Ragnar looked at the training ground. Since others started running he also did the same.

" Hey, I'll bet he will fall down after 20 ".

" I'll bet a silver he will fall at 30 ".

" I'll bet a silver he can't even take 25 ".

" I'll bet a gold coin he will endure for 50 ".

" Nah, he can't hold on to that many laps ".

" Yeah man what are you thinking? ".

" Shut the hell up and run you brats ".

They're not very wrong. After 40 rounds only Ragnar felt his body tiring up. But he still held on. He keeps on running and didn't care about the ridicules or sarcastic warnings from the fellow trainees. When he ran 90 laps, all looked dumbfounded. Everyone are breathing heavyband some even gave up. Ragnar in particular, sweat is dripping down from his body.

But he still keep on running. Many already fall down, the remaining ones ran the 100 laps and sat down on the grass. Bjorn looked at the group of trainees who completed the task and said to the group that didn't," another 50 laps around the training ground now or you can clean the tavern in the barracks of Einherjar ".

The trainees immediately started running. Cleaning taverns is the worst job in Asgard in the eyes of soldiers of Asgard. Because every tavern will be a mess. Every hour they have to clean a pile of smashed goblets, scrub the meed of the floor and even clean tables. Afterall it's almost a complete day and night work. They may not even get a break.

Ragnar felt he practiced the sword and spear more. He felt like he can wield them better. He still left them both in the Passive Upgrade bar. Bjorn yelled," what are you brats doing lying on the ground? Get up and pick your weapons ".

Ragnar who is breathing heavily stood up with some difficulty and goes to pick up a sword. As Ragnar grabbed his weapon, Bjorn started training everyone," now remember what I taught you. Blade weapons needs swiftness and lethality. Heavy weapons needs strength and reflexes. And long ranged ones needs focus and aim. Line up, we're doing a combat drill ".

Ragnar also picked up a spear while Bjorn raised an eyebrow. But he didn't discourage the attempt. Bjorn teamed up people and let them do duels. He already taught them how to wield weapons. It's their hard work which will yield results.

Ragnar and Kjron are assigned together. Kjron Hjordson, his family is in Einherjar for generations. Kjron looked down on Ragnar for being weak and always showed disdain to him. Kjron yawned loudly and said," this will be over in jiffy. I'll then take rest ", he rotated his spear skillfully and pointed it towards Ragnar.

Ragnar held the spear, both of their spears touched their tips. Kjron suddenly tried to knock Ragnar's spear away by hitting it's blade with his spear. But Ragnar stopped it by doing same and twisted the blade of his spear before moving forward avoiding the spear thrust from Kjron.

Ragnar then kicked him back and tried to do the same. But Kjron side stepped and staggered as the thrust although not stabbed him gazed his stomach. A layer of red blood appeared on top of his skin. Kjron's eyes filled with fury.
