The next day was finally here and it wasn''t only Jake that woke up early, his friends all woke up earlier than usual. Since they were all awake, Jake decided to do all his physical training inside the room.

    While Jake was doing his push ups, Cindy came over.

    "Must you always do physical training? Can''t you take a break. It''s not like we are still in the academy."

    "Regardless of whether I''m in the academy or not, I need to this," Jake said. "And I will appreciate if you gave me a little bit of space so I can continue."

    To which Cindy just shrugged and went to sit with the others. After a few minutes of physical training, Jake decided to go outside for his daily running exercise. Jake got outside, got ready and took of running with full speed around the shelter. And then after a few minutes of running, Jake heard a ding In his head.

    ***************************

    Jake just sighed and slowly walked back to his room. When he got there, he saw that everyone were all ready and prepared for the day so he hurriedly got prepared so he won''t be left behind. After a few hours, they all went to take their breakfast in a dining hall in the shelter. After breakfast, they were all called to a large storage room.

    "They are coming!" Peter announced. "Prepare yourselves for hunting."

    And immediately, the snakes bursted out of the ground and was heading for Jack who was in front of the group. Jake who was at the back of the group, counted around 10 sand worms heading for them. Jack upon seeing the worm, didn''t hesitate as he quickly lifted his sword and made a diagonal strike but the worm was not cut Into two as Jack thought.

    "What the! How come they aren''t cut? Aren''t they supposed to be just basic tier beasts?" And then he was bit on his arm.

    Kate who was also at the back of the group, also prepared her bow and started firing towards the beasts although her skills were quite sloppy, She still managed to hit one of the beasts on the head with her arrow and that was when she noticed it wasn''t moving so she quickly shouted out a warning to her team.

    "Guys! Aim for the head, that''s the beast weak point." Kate screamed.

    Hearing this, the ones who were struggling, quickly started slashing and slashing but the beasts were also quick in movements as they quickly burrowed into the sand before they could be hit. Jake was still standing observing the whole team. And that was when the beasts popped out of the sand for an attack again.

    Peter just smiled looking at them and then he started slashing with his two handed axe vigorously. Peter was so busy slashing one of the beasts that he didn''t notice one of the beasts popping out from behind him. Meanwhile Jake who hadn''t done anything until now, noticed the beast coming for Peter and he quickly dashed forward towards the beast quickly.

    Luckily, he was quite close to Peter''s position so he got there and managed to strike the beast on its head with a powerful sword strike that the beast was split into two. After a few minutes, they were finally done killing the beasts that headed for their way so they decided to rest up and collect the beast crystals they managed to kill.

    When they finished collecting the crystals, they counted it and saw it was complete. So with a triumphant smile, they decided to rest before they hunt more beasts. Unknown to them, a beast was heading their way from underground but they didn''t notice it.

    Popping out of the ground, the beast aimed for Jake who was oblivious to the attack but luckily, Kate who was still standing back, drew her bow quickly and killed the beast. That was when they knew that a beast tried a sneak attack on them.

    After thanking Kate for her help, they decided to also add the beast crystal to their collection but that was when they heard a shout.

    "Hey! You guys stole our kill and beast crystal also." The voice said coming over to Jake''s team.
