Chapter 431 Join the Training Camp
The following morning.
Catherine arrived at the training ground on time at eight, and the trainees were all waiting for her, including the newcomer, Branden.
Branden fixed his eyes on Catherine since she showed up and never turned away.
“Sir, this is 0339 reporting for duty.” Branden’s voice was loud, clear, and firm. Catherine was in her usual disguise suit. Like she used to be, she was stern and commanding.
She seemed to look at Branden casually, but she noticed his condition was so much different than it was yesterday.
“Are you sure you want to join the training?” Catherine asked, raising an eyebrow.
“Yes, sir!” Branden bellowed his answer.
Catherine laughed grimly and commanded, “Back in the line.”
That was officially agreeing to Branden’s joining the camp.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe other trainees had no objection to Branden’s joining. The tasks Branden had finished had gotten spread around. Surviving that kind of horrible environment proved his superior strength.
Their training was dangerous and challenging, but it was no match for what Branden had experienced. How dared they object to such a formidable person?
They had the deep-ocean training yesterday, so Catherine decided to have simple physical training this morning.
Hearing the training content, Paxton doubted if Catherine did it on purpose.
She knew Branden should avoid the vigorous exercise and still made such a decision. What would that be if she was not targeting Branden?
Women’s heart was even more unfathomable than the ocean.
After her announcement, Catherine walked to Branden and stared at him with interest.
“0339, it’s difficult to be my trainee, but it’s easy for one to quit. I won’t force anyone to stay. You can leave anytime if you don’t want to receive the training.”
Branden’s lips upcurled into a slight smile, and his eyes followed Catherine dotingly and persistently.
“I’m glad you allowed me to join your camp, sir. I’ll never quit.”
Catherine decided to let him be since he was so stubborn. Physical training it was, then. He chose to join the training and needed to obey the rules.
Catherine’s Physical training was nothing like ordinary training, running or so. The training content included rock climbing, deep diving, and other extreme sports.
Carlo, Cory, and Francis learned the conditions about Branden from Paxton and were so anxious. Even though Branden had superior strength, he was hurt too badly.
The average people could not even move, let alone have extreme sports. The three Duncans stared at Branden, afraid that any accident would happen to him.
When they climbed down the rocks barehand from the highest place on the island, the three Duncans surrounded Branden and dared not leave. They could tell from Branden’s dripping sweat on his head that he was enduring great pain.
“Sir, let us help you down. Shall we?” Carlo proposed gingerly.
The rock climbing was tough for them each, but if they worked together, it would not be a big deal to help Branden.
They would rather get hurt themselves than let Branden get hurt. Branden looked at them provocatively and snorted. “What? You think you’re so capable now?”
“No, sir!” The three answered in unison.
After scolding them, Branden moved around Carlo and kept climbing down. Carlo once again wanted to help, but Cory stopped him.
“No one could change Branden’s mind. “Cory sighed softly.
The point was that Branden would never change what he had decided. Helping Branden would not only offend Branden but add more trouble to him.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmJust now, when Branden went around them to avoid their help, he already had a longer route than they did.
They were not helpful but got Branden more exhausted. The loss outweighed the gain. Catherine had been in front of the monitoring screen and observed them.
She saw that the three Duncans wanted to help Branden and that Branden refused them. Catherine admired Branden’s character even more.
When they completed the physical training, Branden’s result was not on the top or last, only above average.
If Branden were in his best self, those trainees would not be opponents to him. Branden got off the cliff, and his limbs could not help shaking.
The injuries on his legs were not healed. Although he used medicine to suppress the pain, it still affected enormously on his strength.
He was at the limit after the physical training.
The whistle rang out, and the training was over.
Branden almost collapsed like a deflated balloon.
Fortunately, the three Duncans were prepared and supported him to hide his tiredness.
Catherine was still watching the monitor screen till she heard the knocking on the door.
“Come in,” she said.
