Chereads / Life of Arthur / Chapter 5 - Training

Chapter 5 - Training

It has been 2 weeks since I started training. The training was more like torture, but it didn't hurt, it was somehow satifying.

Today the training that I was going to do was for visual acuity.

Visual acuity was apparently needed so that I can predict the next moves of my opponent.

"Milord, pls finish reading all of this by the end if the day" Merlin smiled as he told me to read 7 books of the destiny series.

"How!?" I shouted

"Instead of reading the words individually why not read the whole page at the same time?"

"O-ok"

I did as I was told. It was hard in the beginning but as I gradually took my time to finish the training, I still can't. It had been an hour since I started reading so no wonder

.

"Have you finished reading them all?" Merlin appeared out of nowhere

"...! Oh uhm yeah"

"Then, to verify it how many leaves have fallen from that tree over there?"

"Uhm...2 dozen leaves have fallen"

With a bright smile on his face "Correct! Ding ding ding! As your reward the rest of the day can be your rest day"

"Really!?"

"Yep" after saying that he dissapeared in a swirl of flowers

I sigh "he left again"

I also thought "My guess was correct"

I stood up then surveyed the area. Though this was uhm a normal forest I think the front lawn of the house was a garden and the forest at the back was wilderness, So yeah I think it's a normal forest

I went over to a bush that seemed normal. I looked over and saw a wounded rhinoceros lookinh beetle and a giant bee

"Uhm you okay?" I asked, not expecting an answer

"Stay...away"

"Uhm, then let me heal you!" I chanted a healing spell

"It..didn't...work?"

I started thinking on why the spell didn't work

I then remembered in a book I've read that low level healing spells wont work if the target has lost a lot of blood.

"Let me do this first" I cut my hand and then using magic I transferred some of my blood to those two "I think that was enough" I said as I smiled

I then started chanting a healing spell

My hand glowed green then the wiunded rhinoceros beetle and giant bee we're healed. My hand was also healed.Those two we're suprisingly large and they could talk

"You okay?"

"T-thankyou! Uhm the only thing I can do is fight so can you let me stay by your side and protect you?" The beetle said

"Oh? Uhm...okay"

"For me, uhm I can bring you honey on a daily basis" the bee said

"Okay... uhm then beetle I'm gonna give you the name zegion and you bee I'm gonna give you the name Abelha. Zegion then as my order, can you protect Abelha?"

Legion bowed his head, I think, then answered

"If that is the will of my savior, then I shall follow"

"Thankyou"

The bugs we're suprisingly good headed and they wanted to repay me for saving them. At the end we made a deal with Zegion protecting Abelah and other forest bugs and Abelah bringing me honey on a daily to weekly basis
