Chapter 608: Fake Lioness

Just as everyone expected, Gabi won the next five fights by running around and exhausting her already wounded opponent. It was something that made most of the trainees upset. After all, they wanted to see her skills the skills of the person who topped the exam but ended up seeing nothing but her shameless behavior.

Because of this, many trainees started calling her the Fake Lion. Those people thought that the Lion was the king of the jungle because of its strength and courage. However, since Gabi didn't show any of this, she didn't deserve the top position and thus, she was named the Fake Lion. Of course, this was also about her name which was Leona.

"Fool." Gabi snorted when she heard someone whisper about her nickname. These people were wrong about Lions. Lions were considered the king of the jungle not because they were the biggest for instance, an elephant is clearly bigger than a Lion. It wasn't considered the king because it was the fastest obviously, a cheetah is faster than a lion. It wasn't also the animal that could fly the highest or swim the fastest. A Lion is considered a king of the jungle because of its fearlessness.

Lions are fearless! They would always face their enemies head-on even if they were smaller or weaker than them. In a sense, Gabi considered herself half a lion. After all, she was very vicious in her previous life too. Moreover, she had never been afraid of anything before. However, having Luca changed her.

In her previous life, she depended on other people and hadn't learned anything to protect herself. She trusted people easily and suffered because of it. So yeah, she was only half a Lion.

The thought of Luca made her melancholic. If she would have another Luca in this life, she would surely do everything to protect him from everyone.

That's why she needed to learn more and can protect herself. After all, she wouldn't be able to protect her own son if she cannot even save herself from other people's schemes.

"Tomorrow you will be fighting against Mara. I saw her spar with Delia. She's strong." Miles said as she sat opposite her. Since that day, Miles started sitting opposite Gabi every day and just ate her food. Sometimes, she would congratulate her for winning, sometimes she wouldn't say a single word and just leave after eating.

Actually, Gabi started to wonder what was this woman's motives. If she wanted to get close to Gabi then why not say a word?

"Yes." Gabi nodded.

"You ready?"

Gabi nodded. "I am." Then she stared at Miles as the atmosphere between them turned awkward. Is this the classic case of two introverts talking to each other? As if sensing her thoughts, Miles lowered her head.

Of course, Gabi lowered her head too and maintained her silence.

And just like that, the two finished their food and immediately went to join the training. This time, they were asked to crawl underneath electric barbed wire.

Yep.

There was electricity on the barbed wire. If you hit it, a burst of pain would surely hit your body and might even make you faint. Of course, you can't just crawl slowly as there was a timer and the first few people that would reach the other end would get rewards.

However, Gabi wasn't here to get rewards. She was here to remember who got the rewards and challenge them next!

In Gabi's analysis, it would be impossible to pass this kind of activity without feeling that pain from the electricity. So, those people who got the first, second and third place would have suffered lots of injuries too.

Right now, Gabi was more concerned about who to challenge next! Since she was aware that she wasn't that strong, she was going to take advantage of this chance to learn more and challenge weaker opponents first. Then she would come back and haunt the stronger ones later.

"Alright since you are all here" Ma Ping's voice suddenly echoed inside the training hall. He wasn't there so Gabi assumed that he was watching them from that control room, again. "You have three hours to occupy the fighting Arena. You will be given a chance to practice your martial arts. Weapons will be provided. However, you are not allowed to fight each other. At least not now. There have been some changes in the rules. I will inform everyone about it next week."

Changes?

It's not because of her, right?

Gabi chuckled inwardly.

"Hey Leoness why don't you show us what you're capable of?"

Gabi stopped walking for a few seconds before she shrugged and decided to ignore it.

"Ohhh she's scared. She is just good at running away."

"Well that's only because she's a coward. There is no way that she would be accepted in this place if she didn't have the ability to fight, right?"

Gabi didn't say anything. She continued walking until they reached the fighting Arena. Just as Ma Ping said, there were weapons everywhere. However. Where are the guns? What's with these weapons?

Spears?

Swords?

Daggers?

Axe?

Huh?

A Question mark appeared on Gabi's head. Who would use such a weapon in this day and age? She looked at some of the weapons that she didn't even recognize and spotted some bows and arrows.

Why let them use weapons like this?

Gabi narrowed her eyes. No, there must be a reason why they were given a lot of time to practice using these weapons. But what could it be?

Are they going to let them fight against each other using ancient blades? However, Ma Ping said that they weren't allowed to fight unless it was a challenge right?

Hold on!

Ma Ping also said that there would be some changes in the rules. And after that, he said he would announce it next week. Was he deliberately trying to drop some breadcrumbs and lead them into thinking that they are going to fight?

Hmmm
