It was early in the morning and Rem decided to gather the rest of her teammates. Rem is currently in front of Karina's dorm room. Rem knocked on the door.
*Knock, knock!
At the other side of the door, Karina yawned as she got up from her bed.
"Who is it..?" Karina asked.
"It's me. Rem." Rem said, making sure not to be that loud to disturb others.
Karina opened the door.
"Remie! It's 6 in the morning..! Plus, it's a Saturday... What are you doing?" Karina was confused and tired.
"Let's go find the others. I forgot to tell you guys yesterday. We're going to meet up every day when we don't have school at 6 in the morning to do some training." Rem said sternly.
"Oh..." Karina said, complaining in her head.
Karina followed Rem to Yukino's dorm room. Every dorm room has a number and the student's name on it to show who is living in the dorm room. Rem already searched the top few floors, which are the 5th, 4th, and 3rd floor for Yukino's dorm room but her name wasn't on any one of them. Karina's room is on the 2nd floor.
'Yukino's room must be on the 2nd or 1st floor.' Rem thought, searching for Yukino's name.
'Oh, I found it.' Rem knocked on Yukino's door.
'It seems her room is at the end of the hallway on the 2nd floor.' Rem waited for Yukino to open her door.
After a few minutes, Yukino finally opened her door.
"Was there training today..?" Yukino asked tiredly.
She was slightly surprised to see Rem and Karina in front of her door.
"We're going to have training..." Karina sighed.
"Oh..." Yukino didn't want to have any training but she knew she had to to get stronger.
"Do you know where your brother's dorm room is?" Rem asked.
"Yes, I do. Um... You do know that girls aren't allowed to be in the boy's dorms, right..?" Yukino was hoping Rem knew.
"Yeah, yeah. Can't we just call him?" Rem didn't have a phone.
"Yeah, we could do that since there's a phone in every dorm room," Karina said.
"Alright, I'll call him right now." Yukino walked towards the telephone.
Every dorm room has a telephone that is located on the wall at the right next to the light switch. After Yukino notified her twin little brother, Yukino called Kaito and handed the phone to Rem.
"Are you free right now?" Rem asked, taking the phone.
"It's so early in the morning... Of course, I'm free until the afternoon. What're you calling me for?" Kaito usually wakes up at 6 in the morning.
"Go to the race track... Right now. We'll meet you there." Rem ended the call.
"Let's get going. We have no time to waste." Rem walked towards the training room.
'Sadly, Winter break is only 14 days. Plus, the tournament is right after Winter break. We can't afford to waste any time.' Rem thought as Karina and Yukino followed her sheepishly.
The girls arrived at the race track and what they saw first was Kaito and Yukio, waiting for them near one of the benches.
"All right. Today I'm going to show all of you a method to improve and get stronger quickly." Rem wanted to show her teammates the methods she used and taught in her past life.
"Before I tell you what methods you will use, I'll tell you about the stuff you are doing well in and the stuff you need to improve on. First is Kaito. You can control your magic quite well. Your speed and attacks are decent too. What you need to work on is having a better defense. Next is Yukio. You are fast, can control your magic well, and have pretty good attacks. What you need to focus on is using your mana wisely. You also need to work on getting rid of all your killing intents when you attack your enemy. Of course, there's Rina. You can use some powerful moves but you sort of having the same problem as Yukio. You have to use your mana more wisely. Although your attacks are alright, you need to control your magic better. Last but not least, Yukino. Your healing skills are great. However, you need to learn how to add buffs when you are supporting us. Other than that, you need to work on your stamina. All of you need to work on your stamina. That's why you all are here so early in the morning. Go do 20 laps. Now start running!" Rem said sternly.
"No fair... It's so early in the morning too!!!" Karina complained.
The twins nodded in agreement as Kaito just sighed. Knowing that complaining wouldn't work, the group began running as Rem ran with them.
...
An hour has passed and the group has finally finished running. They were trying to catch their breath while Rem wasn't out of breath or tired at all.
"Starting today, you will run 20 laps daily at 5 in the morning. You better not be late. Don't give me lame excuses either unless it's actually something important. Now let's go to the training room. It's 6 in the morning right now so there shouldn't be anyone there." Rem said, walking towards the training room.
The group followed Rem tiredly after catching their breath. When they arrived at the training room, to their surprise, there were actually other people there.
"I guess that can't be helped. Anyway. Kaito... To improve your defense, simply do some push-ups." Rem expected Kaito to do well on doing this exercise.
"What's a push-up?" Kaito asked, clearly confused.
Karina and the twins shrugged.
"You know what, it's easier if I show you." Rem showed them how to do a push-up.
"I see. Am I doing this correctly?" Kaito asked after doing a push-up.
"That's correct. Complete 100 push-ups." Rem told Kaito.
"Alright." Kaito obediently starting doing what Rem told him to do.
"Rina, you will have to use your wind magic and make this bottle into a sphere shape." Rem gave Karina a bunch of empty bottles.
"You simply use your magic to make this bottle into a sphere shape. Easy, right?" Rem said as she showed Karina.
"All right, I'll try..." Karina tried doing what Rem did but she ended up crushing the whole bottle, making it deformed.
"Don't worry, you have a lot of cans. Take your time. For Yukio, you just have to work on controlling your killing intent or just erase it." Rem told Yukio.
"How..?" Yukio asked cluelessly.
"Meditate. Focus all your magic in one place. That's all you have to do. Even though you seem calm, you actually aren't. I'm correct, aren't I?" Rem tilted her head slightly.
Yukino nodded as she began meditating.
"Yukino, you don't really need to do anything since you can only obtain new skills by leveling up or by using an item. Right now, you can meditate with your brother. Oh, I almost forgot. All of you need to wear these." Rem gave Karina, Kaito, and the twins two pairs of bands.
Rem was all prepared before this.
"What's this?" Karina asked, taking the bands.
"They're bands with magic on them. Wear them first and you'll understand. One for your left wrist, one for your right wrist, one for your left ankle, and one for your right ankle." Rem explained.
When Karina put on the bands, she suddenly felt huge amounts of weight on her wrists and ankles.
"We have to wear these... Every... Day..?" Yukino asked, not wanting to wear them.
The bands seemed very light but after putting them on, it would become very heavy according to your level. Rem created the bands using her Creation Magic and intelligence.
"Yes, always. Never take them off. I'm also wearing these." Rem replied.
The bands were made so barely anyone can detect the magic in the bands. Kaito and Yukio were only having a little trouble but not as much as Karina and Yukino. While Rem's teammate was training, Rem joined the twins by meditating with them. They spent the whole morning training.
