Chapter 233: Does It Sound Contradictory?

Haruto, watching from a distance, nodded in satisfaction. "Good job! You all are starting to understand the importance of teamwork. This is a great result."
"Bellina, please heal Patrick?" Haruto looked at Bellina with a calm tone.
"I understand," Bellina replied, nodding slowly. Her face remained calm as usual, even though she had started using water from her saliva-filled bottle, gently applying it to the injured area.
Haruto turned his body to face the others, wiping the sweat from his forehead. "So, what do you think? Was this a valuable experience?" Haruto's smile was thin, almost as if he were testing them.
"Valuable in what way?" Harl, lying on the ground and breathing heavily, responded with a tone full of frustration. Harl's body was covered in dust, and his eyes clearly showed exhaustion.
"Ugh..." Oliv, sitting not far from Harl, looked no better. Oliv's face was pale, and he held his stomach as if he might vomit at any moment.
"Of course this experience is valuable! Especially with the Weighted Bracelets, you’re not just training your strength but also your endurance," Haruto said with a wide smile, seemingly unaffected by the condition of his students.
"Really?" Jae Hyun asked, his face filled with doubt. He looked at the bracelet on his wrist as if it were a curse.
"Yes," Haruto nodded confidently. "All of this is part of the process."
"So... does that mean they will always help us during training?" Annie, looking more curious than the others, glanced at Haruto's team members and asked her question seriously.
"That's right," Haruto replied, his voice suddenly turning cold but firm. "From now on, we will train all of you harder. Even if you are on the brink of death... we will not let you die just like that."
Annie paused for a moment, then furrowed her brows. "Doesn't that... sound very contradictory?" she asked, uncertainly.
Haruto chuckled softly. "Maybe. But who cares? Rest up quickly! Your bodies still need time to recover before the next session."
Despite sounding firm, Haruto glanced at them with a hint of pride. Behind all the exhaustion and complaints, they showed a strong will to persevere.
Meanwhile, Bellina finished healing Patrick. With the remaining energy, she turned to help the First Year students, who were not in much better condition.
The water in Bellina's hands healed their wounds and restored their energy. The tired faces slowly began to show a bit of color, although it was clear their journey was still long.
After everything was done, Haruto stood at the edge of the arena, observing the results of the training. Seeing them slowly rise and show the spirit to move forward, Haruto smiled faintly. There was a hidden satisfaction behind Haruto's expression.
"Alright! All of you, start meditating now! Sit cross-legged and focus!" Haruto's voice echoed in the training room, firm and without room for rejection.
The First Year students quickly complied with the command. They took positions on the floor, sitting cross-legged, and tried to calm their minds. Some looked awkward, while others struggled hard to focus.
Haruto walked slowly among them, his arms crossed over his chest. "Feel the flow of Aura Energy around you," Haruto said in a softer tone. "This energy is a power that exists everywhere, flowing like an invisible wind. Let your bodies touch it, understand its presence."
These children were Anomalies and Abnormals, individuals with extraordinary abilities beyond the comprehension of ordinary humans.
