Chapter 73 - Chapter 73 Fairy Training

As Thomas started to walk towards the muscular fairy Opal sighed and said "I'll stop by to pick you up later, I have something that I need to attend to." Thomas mumbled "Be by to pick me up, what am I a kid?" Thomas thought about it for a minute as he realized he was basically doing the same thing to her. Thomas ignored those and walked up to the muscular fairy as he asked "So what kind of training makes you look like that?" The fairy smiled and flexed as he said "I'm glad you asked" As the very muscular fairy continued to flex he said "First I start my morning by lifting a few large boulder stacked on top of each other for a warm up and than after that I like to do a few laps around the forest with some larger boulders tied to my legs." Thomas stared at him as he said "I get it I get it you don't have to keep telling me about all of the things you do." The fairy put a hand in Thomas's shoulder as he said "Give me your best punch and we'll go from their." Thomas backed up and mumbled "If he's anything like Marlin and Opal this probably won't do much." As Thomas punched him in the gut the fairy blankly stared at Thomas as he said "I want you to really hit me don't hold anything back." Thomas stared at him as he said "I was giving it everything I had." The fairy laughed as he said "If that's the case then we'll have to start you all the way at the beginning with the new recruits." Thomas stepped back as he said "I still have a spell I can use." The fairy stared at Thomas as he said "Do you now, we'll then give it your best shoot." As Thomas stepped back he activated aura release. Once the aura fully surrounded Thomas he jumped at the fairy and punched him in the gut once more as he shouted "I got thirty seconds with this spell so I'll have to make it count!" As Thomas's punch landed he deactivated the spell and started to breath heavily as he stared at the fairy and asked "How was that?" The fairy glanced at Thomas as he said "You might be able to go to step two but unfortunately I didn't feel a thing." Thomas fell backwards as he muttered "I wasted all that mana and couldn't even scratch you." The fairy bent over and picked Thomas up as he set him on his feet and tied chains around his feat that were connected to a small iron ball as he said "I want you to give me five laps around this room, if you can do that I'll help train you." Thomas saluted the fairy and began to walk around the room as the fairy said "We don't salute each other here." Thomas glanced at him as he said "I'm still gonna because that's half the fun." The fairy walked away as he said "He certainly is a strange fellow." After walking around the room five times the fairy glanced at Thomas and said "Excellent!" Thomas glances at the fairy as he asked "How many stages are their?" The fairy thought about it for a moment as he said "Their are a thousand stages and most fairies don't make it past one hundred but I've made it to three hundred and forty seven." Thomas glared at him as he said "That'll take to long just skip me up to fifty or something." The fairy stared at Thomas as he asked "Are you sure you want to do that?" Thomas nodded as he said "I'm ready for anything!" As the fairy walked away he came back with a boulder as he tied it around Thomas's waist with a chain as he said "If you want to do training stage fifty you must do ten laps around the tree." Thomas looked around as he asked "How do I get down with the boulder?" The fairy pointed to a room as he said "The fairy in their will transport you their and back once you finish it." As Thomas tried to walk towards the room he began to move at a snails pace as he said "One step at a time." After about five minutes he made it to the room and was transported down to the ground at the bottom of the tree as he began to slowly walk around the tree. After a few hours Thomas made it around the tree twice. As he walked he mumbled "Does that fairy really do this with multiple boulder every day?" As the sun began to set Opal walked into the room that Thomas had entered to be transported as she said "I'm here to pick up the demi human." The man stared at her and pointed to a table that shown Thomas walking around the tree with the boulder as he said "He's still got to walk around the tree eight more times before I can bring him back." Opal day down at the table as she asked "How long has he been doing this?" The man sat down beside her as he said "He's been walking around the for a few hours." Opal stared at Thomas through the table as she said "He's moving very slow." The man glanced at Thomas as he said "He was moving a two times slower before, if anything his adaptability is amazing and pretty soon he may actually be on training stage fifty." Opal glanced at him as she asked "Why did you skip him up to fifty, he shouldn't have been on anything above seven." The man shrugged as he said "The fairy general said that if he had the guts than we should let him do the training he wants." As Opal left she went to the top of the tree and peered down at Thomas as she said "If he wants to get stronger I believe he can." After a few more hours Thomas had walked around the tree four more times and sun had begun to set as he mumbled "Four more times." As Thomas stared at the boulder he walked towards it and said "The fastest way for me to get done with this." As Thomas wrapped his arms around the boulder he shouted "Is to lift it!" Once Thomas held the boulder above his head he began to walk around the tree slightly faster as he mumbled "I should've just done twenty five." After another hour or two Thomas finally completed all ten laps around the tree. As he finished he was teleported back to the room still holding the boulder above his head as he looked around and asked "Am I finally done?" As Thomas appeared Opal walked into the room and said "I've been waiting for you." Thomas dropped the boulder onto the ground as he sat down and muttered "Sorry to keep you waiting." As she approached Thomas she said "Your breathing is very heavy." Thomas laid down as he said "I'll be fine, I just need a little while to rest." The fairy who transported Thomas walked over and said "Congratulations you've officially completed the first step of passing training stage fifty." Thomas sighed as he asked "What's next?" The fairy pointed at the boulder as he said "You must now climb to the top of the tree with the boulder tied to you." Thomas stared at him as he shouted "Forget that I had trouble walking at my own pace!" Opal laughed as she said "It's alright your training is done for now." Thomas sighed as he said "You fairies are on a whole different level compared to me." She laughed as she said "All species can be strong." Thomas glared at her as he said "Please don't tell me that their are species that make you look like nothing." She nodded as she said "Their are creatures much stronger than me." As Thomas heard this he stood up and said "Then I got no choice." Opal stared at him as she asked "What are you talking about." Thomas smiled as he said "If theirs people even stronger then you then I have no choice but to become even stronger then them!" She smiled as she said "I'm sure you will become stronger." As the general removed the chain around Thomas waist he walked away from the boulder as he said "I won't be missing this anytime soon." Opal glanced at Thomas as she asked "Are you ready to test Marlin's potion." Thomas shrugged as he said "I'm ready whenever you are." She began to smile as she said "Maybe his potion will make it an even match." Thomas glanced at her as he mumbled "Did she really call me the barbaric species, she seems more interested in fighting than me." Thomas smiles as he mumbled "As long as someone's having fun I guess."
