I woke up in the morning to the alarm clock with a terrible headache... There was an hour before the training, it had to be enough for me to get over it.

Sunny yawned widely.

"This night no one tried to give you bad dreams! I'm happy!" - she said with joy.

I smiled. It's a bit inappropriate, but it seems that alcohol is one of the ways I have bad dreams... For some reason.

I wrote a message to Light, explained my problem and asked for help... I also wrote that alcohol helped me with this problem. Maybe there are potions that will let me sleep soundly enough so I don't have any nightmares.

I made myself a fruit shake. There are several fruits that help with the effects of alcohol. Of course, I also made a batch for Sunny. Not because she drank alcohol, she didn't. She just wanted a fruit shake too.

Thanks to the shake I was able to be back to the world of living. We ate breakfast and went to training. Sunny had a shot power training scheduled today.

The coach was already waiting for the rest of the company at the entrance to the obstacle course.

"Be good, Sunny."

We stopped in a straight line and the signal to start sounded after a while.

The terrain was rocky and full of hills, obstacles that required jumping, crawling under them... Each obstacle course was surrounded by a barrier that limited the space. This was primarily for the ability to fly that the Exceeds have. So that they can not overuse it when not necessary.

There were no painful pitfalls this time, but that didn't mean the run was easy. Constant changes of pace, position, direction... And above all, heavy air. Everyone managed to complete the course within an hour and we had an hour break before the next race.

Stolen novel; please report.

I sat down on the ground exhausted and checked my crystal tablet. I got a message from Light!

'Hello. Your problem sounds quite unusual. However, it is possible that your dark power shows an affinity to the nightmare zone in this way. It would be a rare and quite scary ability if you could master it. I will send you a package of pills that provide deep sleep without dreams. I hope they help. Please contact me right away if needed. We'll investigate this issue when you get back from training.'

I felt deeply relieved. I won't have to worry about nightmares, and Sunny won't have a hard time fighting them. I wondered why she developed such an ability. I didn't think about it at all. At least consciously.

The next area was a magma field. Of course, no harm could come to us here, but the pain was real. It dawned on me that the spells that had been woven into it must have been incredibly powerful.

Exceeds pays great attention to training the next generations, but I have not had the opportunity to meet any Exceed with the title of master. Of course, our trainers are very strong, but they still have more advanced training themselves. The lack of masters as teachers for the youth was also probably due to the fact that the masters were involved in guarding the worlds from the primals.

After all, these obstacle courses are probably their work. They did it once and they don't have to worry about it anymore until someone damages this.

Somehow I didn't fall into any magma traps and felt only a few smaller flamethrowers. Slowly, I began to sense the places I had to avoid. With my fiery abilities, I was probably able to sense more here than at other tracks.

I took 7th place in this race, which was a big reason for me to be proud. The high temperature also dried the air, which was much more comfortable.

After another hour's break, it was time for the last track planned for today. It turned out to be a flying test.

"You will practice with Sunny now, this test is not for you." - trainer said.

I'm feeling a bit left out at the moment. Fortun

Sunny was giving it her all on the training dummies, she was so determined that she didn't even take a break. I took her favorite food out of my bag and that encouraged her to rest.

I started my training and I was very curious about what we had planned for the evening. It was supposed to be something very interesting, but the coach didn't want to tell us anything else.

The aerial track took everyone two hours and I adjusted my fiery armor during that time.

And I saw everyone who finished the flight... They all looked like they had gone through a meat grinder. Of course, nothing happened to them, but the fur was matted and sticking out in all directions.

A few people after a while were lying flat on the ground without motivation to continue functioning, the girls, of course, were most affected by the damaged fur.
