Enjoying the story but glad this is not reality since soldiers do actually train in bad conditions. We do drills and real world training in the woods, mud, etc with gear while drowning in sweat so we can handle bad conditions in real world scenario. Almost had an idiot buddy almost drown in his sweat while wearing mop 4 gear. Had to remind him we were in "excercise", no chem warfare threat, just pull the bottom off and let it drain.

@Corps he was also saying that curses can do a lot more than effects you can actually realistically train for. Like how many people are going to go through the difficulty of catching a specific disease just so they can train under those conditions? What about inducing hallucinations or mental disorders that can only be intentionally inflicted via curses?
Not to mention there's also an inevitable disconnect when your body has an abrupt change in condition. There's a huge difference in being exhausted over time and abruptly going from peak condition to on the border of collapse. As someone who has vertigo I deal with that a lot. During a bout, it ranges from bad to absolute he** to move around, but it's possible. When a bout strikes? It's practically a miracle if I don't end up on the floor.

@Seiden Yeah, but that just means they are training to lose. People in real life practice in all conditions that are common. People in real life can't magically make someone have hallucinations so no one trains for that. People in a world filled with magic have the capability to magically induce effects. If they can do that then they can very easily train to be used to these effects. It's unrealistic to compare real life to a fictional world, because they literally have magic. If we use a little logic then it makes zero sense to not train in conditions you see commonly.
