The three of them immediately rushed to the front of The Waves building. They felt bad making Aro wait for them there. Aro looked back at the three participants while looking at the lake in front of him. Feeling that behind him was a person, Aro immediately turned his body, he smiled faintly looking at the three of them.

“Good Morning everyone,” said Aro with his hoarse voice.

“Good Morning, Brother,” replied the three of them.

“The four of us will be the representatives of The Waves for this year's VEG competition. We have to exercise more because as you know, we do not have an operator,”, he said Aro who was responded by nodding the other three participants.

Each player who competes in the individual category championship usually does have an operator. The operator is in charge of guiding the player during the game. He will be in the real world and a special room with his computer. The Waves has no operator. This happened because the division was closed, and more members of The Waves chose to be players than operators.

“I was appointed as chairman for this year and also peer tutor for you guys. I have asked permission from Mr. Kelvin to train you with my training method,”.

Liam smiled hearing that. As someone who had also been trained by Aro, he was quite memorized by his training style. It's quite profitable for him. Not only Liam, Ann who had competed with Aro before also remembered how the training style of Aro.

Archie breathed. It seems that he should be able to adapt quickly to the training this time around. As a person with minimal experience, this is quite challenging for him.

“I ask you to run around the building for ten rounds. Liam, fifteen rounds for you,” orders Aro who reciprocated a nod from Liam and Ann.

Archie was quite surprised by the number of rounds ordered.

Ten rounds? Oh my goodness, that's it.

“After you've all finished running, come immediately to the training ground behind the building. We practice there,” he continued.

This is just us again in front of the building, later to the back field as well. Oh my goodness, it's the first day too. Archie murmured earlier in his heart.

Aro looked towards him. “Why you? Too little?” asked Aro who sounded firm.

“T...nothing, Brother,” he replied with a slight nervousness. Yakali wants to be added, ten tepar.

Finally the three of them ran around The Waves building. Seen many other members of The Waves saw the three of them. Delaney with several friends of Group F who were gathered were seen waving at Archie and being replied by him.

“I swear, I'm with Archie,” said Zack. Delaney who was next to him turned towards him.

“But I salute him. Still do not expect that Group F children have VEG participants. Our rating is higher than him, we seem less diligent as it is not glimpsed by Mr. Kelvin,” he added again.

“Makanya, if the training is not males, hahaha,” reply Delaney.

The two of them and some of the other members laughed at what Delaney said. It does seem impossible for Group F to be a VEG participant. Let alone being a participant, being a prospective participant is difficult.

However, seeing what Archie had achieved right now made them aware. Efforts sometimes have unexpected results, but never in vain.

The sun was rising and the day was starting to get hot. Archie looks a little tired in the eighth round, but he still forces his body. He did not want to be embarrassed in front of his two seniors who still ran around the building. Even Liam had already run over twelve rounds.

Almost in the last round they ran, Archie already looks exhausted. After they finished running, they walked slowly to the bottom of the tree and took shelter there. It was quite close to the field where Aro was waiting. Archie slid his leg. He had never run so tired like this.

Liam and Ann still looked very fresh, even carrying their own aura as they sweated. While Archie has drunk water until half a bottle of drinking.

“Live to the field aja yuk, fear Kak Aro already waiting,” said Ann.

“Oh, yes, Brother,” replied Archie.

“Tuh no Kak Aro, let's go there aja,” added Liam.

The three of them ran towards the field again. Already seen Aro with some training tools commonly used by members of The Waves. Liam, Ann, and Archie stood before Aro.

“Because you've started with body warming, it means that right now you have to do physical exercise. I studied your profile last night,” he said, listened to by three people in front of him.

“Liam, you used two gadgets for weapons in a Grade B match last year ‘kan? What are you wearing?” ask Aro.

“Iya, Brother. I used wind shots and laser rifles last year,” Liam replied.

“I see your control is pretty good with those weapons. It's just that you're in too much of a hurry. You have to be sharper in using instinct and more patient in competing,” Aro's advice was answered nod by Liam.

“You go straight to the field, some items I have prepared there. You choose some weapons that make you comfortable,” continued Aro.

“Good, Brother,” replied Liam. After that Liam headed straight for the field.

After arriving at the field, Liam headed to a place where there were many things there. The weapons for those exercises did indeed look like virtual reality gaming equipment. Because it only has an effect like a real weapon in the VEG world.

Liam took a look at some of the weapons and tried them out, then picked one of the weapons. He aimed towards the digital target board located far opposite him. While trying it out, there was a gunshot coming from the weapon. It did not release ammunition from the weapon it was using, but left a mark of fire on the digital target board.

“That's good too, what's this one wearing?” liam said as he looked at the weapon he was holding.

“But the ammo speed is less. Replace others deh,” he continued while looking at other weapons.

Meanwhile at the end of the field…

“Ann, what technical mistake made you withdraw from your last match?” ask Aro.

“Gadgets I can't be active while in the VEG world. I also did not know why it could not be used, but when in check it turns out there is a slackness from our side that does not activate some components of the handgun I use,” explained Ann.

Archie who listened to him was not surprised. Because during the game at that time he witnessed the situation. Ann was already in the VEG world and was trying to shoot some enemies in front of her but her ammunition did not come out. So because of fear of unwanted things, he gives handsign and out of VEG.

“You also go to the field like Liam. I've picked out a few gadgets that might work for you. My suggestion is that you use more than one weapon for the match later as a backup,” said Aro.

“Good, Brother,” after that Ann headed to the middle of the field.

Only Aro and Archie were left at the end of the field. Aro walked towards that last one participant. Archie felt a little afraid of being made but tried to strengthen his mentality. When he was in front of the man, his heart was beating uncontrollably because it felt very groggy and lowered its gaze.

“Melisa Eri,” says Aro. Archie who heard Aro call his real name was startled and immediately raised his face.

“I.. Yes brother?” Answer with a stiffened body.

“Luck it off, I just want to get to know you a little bit more, because you're the only one I've never known. Member of The Waves ranked 35th as a VEG Candidate. How sure are you to join this competition?” ask Aro.

“Anu...” replied Archie hesitated. “Actually I also do not know sis, I still wonder why I was included VEG this year,” he replied with a little more calm.

“Not only you are astonished, actually all the members of The Waves no one knows why you were chosen. Including me,” says Aro.

The words that Aro spoke included piercing his heart. But he was not angry, because for Archie it was like that.

“But I am sure, the one chosen by Mr. Kelvin is not the wrong person. We are one team now, please cooperate,” continued Aro.

Aro extended his hand. Archie who saw it was surprised and astonished, and hesitated to return the hand. He saw the face of the man in front of him who was 4 years different from him, and the man smiled faintly at him. With the little courage he had, Archie returned the hand.

“Please for guidance, Brother.”
