Eight hundred people in training uniforms lined up in a room surrounded by iron walls. The air felt stuffy, and the temperature was high like in summer. They stood firm, even though their bodies were sweating profusely.
"What are we really doing? We've been standing here for six hours."
"Didn't you hear what that person said? It's training."
"Rather than training, it's like conscription."
As the two men were speaking, from the front end of the line, a voice scolded them.
"Who told you to speak? Shut up!"
The two new members were shocked. They spontaneously shouted apologies. They didn't expect that their conversation could be heard.
The one who scolded the two men was Isaac.
The white-haired man wore a long black long coat and stood in front of them.
"When I say no one is talking, no one can speak. Do you understand?"
"Yes, we understand!"
Right now, Isaac was training the new recruits.
The recruitment process was completed three days ago. As a result, there were 516 C-class hunters and 283 B-class hunters. Most of them were melee-type fighters and range-type fighters, the rest were magic users.
Out of the many new members he recruited, there was one that caught Isaac's attention.
That person was standing in the front row and at the right end. A fat man, had skin resembling copper, and curly black hair like fleece. At first glance, the man looked like an ordinary immigrant worker rather than a hunter.
The man's name was Aditya Khumar. An immigrant hunter from India.
Like most other newbie hunters, he had an F rank from the Hunter Association test, making it difficult to find a team to raid. He was often rejected. Even if he got a team, the payment given was small because he was a foreigner.
Of course, that wasn't the reason Isaac accepted him. Even though the man seemed unconvincing, he had a class A.
In the future, Khumar would become a legendary healer.
Based on Isaac's memory, at the end of the second year of the game, a simultaneous dungeon break would occur in the US. On that day, the sky turned dark and tall buildings collapsed. The streets were painted crimson red with blood. A massive war between humans and monsters happened. More than a quarter of the US population died. Most of them were hunters.
This event was known as the Red Night.
All hunters who had job healers around the world were gathered to heal the hunters who joined in the battle.
One of them was Aditya Khumar.
His name would be known throughout the world because he never held a weapon at all.
His healing magic worked faster and stronger than most healers. On a battlefield filled with ferocious and savage monsters, Khumar only focused on treating the injured patients. Even though he was on the front line, he never stopped casting healing magic.
Thanks to his services, he was known as the Doctor with the Hand of God.
'It seems like reorganizing the guild members is the right choice.'
Isaac smirked.
The new members looked at Isaac in horror. In their eyes, Isaac looked like a demon; not sweating, expressionless, and only smiling when they were fed up.
Only Guo Chen didn't think badly of Isaac.
The young man stood at the front and outside the line of the new recruits. Isaac deliberately put Guo Chen there to serve as a role model.
Since coming out of the 'cooking place', Guo Chen had developed rapidly.
<Information>
[Name : Guo Chen]
[Race : Human]
[Type : N/A]
[Class : A]
[Level : 30]
His level rose significantly, even higher than Wang Mei who was one of the Six Stars. It could be said, Guo Chen was the strongest hunter Isaac had met so far.
'He's grown more than I expected. I wonder what 'innate skill' he has.'
Isaac took a deep breath.
'For now, I will focus on training my new army.'
He looked back at the new members.
At first glance, the training given by Isaac looked easy. They just needed to stand up straight and do nothing. The difficulties they faced were the hot temperatures and long periods of time.
For hunters, this practice was nothing.
The physique of a human who underwent a resurrection was many times stronger than that of an ordinary human. Even if they were dried in direct sunlight, in the middle of summer, and without wearing any clothes, they wouldn't feel anything.
What Isaac emphasized in this training was mentality.
In Isaac's eyes, they were a group of cadet soldiers. Before they were put into real training, their personalities needed to be reshaped.
They were told to be quiet and do nothing. The goal was to discipline them. They were roasted at a high temperature all together, so that they shared the same suffering. In this way, a sense of tension and solidarity would be formed between them.
The essence of this training was to create obedient warriors. No matter how strong the soldiers were, if they always disobeyed orders, they were useless.
Isaac wanted to have soldiers who would die for him. He needed pawns that could be sacrificed.
'It's useless to have a strong army if they don't obey my orders. No matter what kind of soldier; whether it's a human, a monster, or even a demon.'
Isaac clenched his fists behind his waist.
On one wall of the practice room, there was a black mirror. From behind the glass was the control room. Two graceful female hunters seemed to be observing the training process.
One of them was a woman with short black hair, the other had long black hair.
"Isaac Constantine," muttered the short-haired woman. His eyes fell on Isaac who was leading the training process.
"Yes, he's a B rank hunter. He previously joined a small guild in Australia. He also has a military background. Before the dungeon landed on Earth, he had joined the PMC organization. Thus, placing him as a trainer, I think he is suitable for that position."
The short-haired woman nodded once, then turned her gaze to the side. "Wang Yi..."
"Yes, Sister."
Their eyes met. Instantly, Wang Yi became nervous.
"Is… he looking for me? I mean did he ask you anything after the Clearance?"
Her sister's words made Wang Yi narrow her eyes. "Eh… no. What's wrong?"
Wang Mei shook her head. "Oh, it's nothing. I'll leave the new recruits to you. I have a lot of work to do right away."
"Yes, Sister," Wang Yi replied with a smile.
Then, Wang Mei turned around and walked towards the exit of the control room. After her sister's figure left, the smile on Wang Yi's face disappeared. She let out a sigh of relief.
"I thought she would be suspicious…"
Wang Yi had just given Wang Mei false information about Isaac. She made up everything, even created a new identity for Isaac, including creating a fake hunter certificate.
'As long as Sister doesn't dig deeper into Brother Isaac's information, everything will be fine.'
Even so, Wang Yi still harbored some worry.
