*************
It took Keith a whole two minutes to figure out how to use his divine energy. Originally, he expected it to be hard, but later realised that it was pretty easy as all he had to do was imagine something related to systems and it would just happen.
Just like the blank translucent white screen in front of him.
He played around with the system for a few minutes until he was forced out of the river by others, but during this time, he found out one important thing. Creating certain system based things worked similar to programming from his old world, but it was way more simple here.
There was no need to learn any programming language, but he still had to give his system every single necessary instruction for possible scenarios. If given enough time, he could technically automate the entire system, but that would drain a lot of divine energy from him.
By the time he got back to his camp, he was done with creating a very simple system but the gacha wheel that had white and yellow sections before, only had white now.
\'I should be able to add a few more things.\' he thought, but decided to put it aside when he saw an unfamiliar face in his camp. Or the right word to use was "mask" instead of face.
The person wore pure white robes and had a plain white mask that covered their faces. The only thing that Keith could make out from seeing the person was that it was a female thanks to the slight bump in the chest area.
"You guys have ten minutes to get ready." she said and stood still while Keith and the others rushed to the tents to change their clothes.
Keith didn\'t wear any uniform this time and instead decided to put on a well fitting tunic. It was the same as a shirt, so it didn\'t feel too different. As for his legs, he just put on some regular trousers and used a belt to secure it before walking out of the tent.
This was also when he noticed something unnatural and it was Clara. One of her most important assets had shrunk and Keith just stood still, absolutely shocked. None of the other guys had come out yet, so he silently walked over to her and asked curiously.
"Hey, um. I know I shouldn\'t be asking this by how did they shrink? Do you also have the ability to transform?"
Clara\'s face went red as she instinctively covered her chest even though she was wearing clothes, but Amelia clicked her tongue, "You wouldn\'t understand. Haaa... but I\'ll tell you. You see, if they make her run, they\'ll bounce too much and that hurts if it happens for a long time. So she used a long strip of cloth to secure them in place."
"Oh okay." he said and turned to look at Clara with an apologetic gaze, "Sorry, I didn\'t know."
"It\'s fine." she replied and smiled gently.
The other guys walked out one by one and once everyone was ready, the masked woman nodded, "Make a line and grab each other\'s shoulders. We\'ll be going somewhere else temporarily. Only for a few hours, don\'t worry." she said when she saw them giving her depressed looks.
She understood that they did not wish to leave behind such a nice spot, so she clarified immediately.
Keith let out a sigh of relief and so did the others before forming a line and grabbing each other\'s shoulders. Every one of them had a few pieces of dried fish in their hands, but the lady didn\'t stop them. Instead, she placed her hand on Laura who was standing at the front and the surroundings immediately changed.
They had planned to eat after taking a bath, but they hadn\'t expected to see an instructor ready to take them somewhere. Luckily they had some food ready, so they weren\'t too worried.
Keith noticed the bracelet on the instructor\'s hand glow for a few seconds before dimming down.
\'Hmm, I don\'t feel nauseous like the first time.\' he thought and looked at the others, none of whom showed any signs of nausea.
"Feel free to eat until every other group gets here." the instructor said and walked away.
Keith didn\'t wait for anyone and instantly began to chew on the dried fish meat. Luckily, it wasn\'t too dry and hard. It was slightly chewy and was salted pretty well too, which went well with the taste of the dry fish meat.
As he ate, he looked around and saw a few teams nearby, all sitting on the sand of the beach.
\'Well, this place is pretty pleasant... but if they\'re going to train us here, it really will be hell.\' he thought, dreading the worst case scenario.
They were currently at a beach that had coconut trees almost everywhere. In front was the blue ocean and at the back was a decently dense forest. Keith also noticed a bunch of shelters made from coconut tree leaves.
\'Hmm, it\'s a nice place so whoever picked this spot made a good choice. There\'s a lot of large coconuts for water and they\'re extremely rich in minerals, vitamins and micro nutrients. Though, I hope they don\'t each too much coconut flesh or they\'ll suffer from diarrhoea.\'
Just as he was thinking, he heard Caleb complain, "Not the beach... I\'ve trained at a beach before and I don\'t want to do it again..."
Keith was about to ask Caleb more about the training, but that was when he noticed a familiar face. It wasn\'t Timmy and nor was it Amelia\'s brother, Adrian.
It was someone he never expected to see before the war, and especially not during a training program conducted by the churches as this guy was never supposed to join any kind of church before the war as an official member.
\'What in the hell is Clark doing here?\'
