"This morning, we will train your body and in the afternoon we will be training your control of magic."
"I have left some markings on the forest. This markings create a special track that will lead you back here. For your first training, you will have to run 10 laps of the special track. You must finish this training in an hour or i will double your remaining training." Riki said
"Oh and be careful on the way, there are some special animals on the forest that might make you suffer some injuries." Reminded riku as he starts the timer that he is holding in his hands.
When the timer started running, I also started running towards the forest.
As i was running in the special tracks that riku created, i see some chipmunks running on top of the trees and the deers running between the trees.
50 seconds after i started running, i reach a small hill that i would have to climb, since the track is going to the top of the hill. It took me nearly a minute to ascend up the hill and it took me 25 seconds to descend.
A minute later, i reach the house and i finally finish the first lap. I see riku sitting on a chair but i just ignored him since i'm focusing on running.
After i finish the second lap, i started sweating. On my fourth lap, i was starting to pant, so i slow down a liitle.
On my eight lap,i was madly panting. On my ninth lap, i was getting out of breath and i was getting very tired so i stop a little.
On my last lap, i was exhausted but i persevered so that i can finish the training riku give me.
When i reach the house, i saw riku sitting on a chair, so i approach him even when i'm so exhausted.
When i reach the place riku was sitting, he give a water and said to me
"Since you didn't finish the training in an hour, i'm doubling your next training"
"Now, rest for 15 minutes and then we will continue your next training." riku said while smiling as if he's enjoying my suffering.
I drank the water that riku handed to me and i sat on the grass. I tried to conserve my energy as much as possible.
After 15 minutes, riku called out to me
"kingu, 15 minutes have passed so we're starting your next training."
"Jiisan can you extend my resting time, i'm still tired from running. Pleeeeaaaasssse" i said as i tried to act pitifully
"No, we're starting your training now whether you like it or not."riku said
"Damn it " i cursed under my breath.
"Your next training was supposed to be 20 push up but since you failed the last training then you have to do 40 push ups."riku said as he gestured me to start.
"Jiisan, can you please not double my training. Pleeeeeaaaaassssee." i said as i beg riku.
"You're the one that asked me to train you, so you must follow the training that i gave you. But if you are that so much of a sissy then we can stop your training right now."riku said as he tries to goad me
"ok, fine you win jiisan" i said as i start my push up
"1, 2 , 3 , 4 ,....." riku count as i do the push ups
".... and 40. Get ready your next training is 40 curl ups" Riku said after i finish doing the push ups.

In the whole morning, all we did was physical training. After eating lunch, we once again resume my training, this time it is mental and control training.
"This afternoon what we will doing is to train your control in handling your magic power. What you need to do is to close your eyes and follow my instructions." riku said as he starts to instruct me on what to do while sitting on a chair
"Now empty your mind and try to feel your magic power inside your body."
"Once you feel it, try to move towards your hands"
I emptied my mind and tried to do exactly what riku instructed me to do.
A few seconds later, i finally my feel my magic power so tried to move it towards my hands, but it was hard that it took me a minute to move it towards my hands.
"ok, you can now open your eyes kingu" riku said
i opened my eyes when i heard riku said to open my eyes. When i open my eyes, i saw an aura-like thing surronding my hands
"Now, what you see in your hands is your mana/magic power." riku said
"What you need to do next is to move your mana in every parts of your body. From your hands to your feet,into your head and to your other hand. Do this until you can do it smoothly. " riku instructed.
So i close my eyes and do what he instructed.
5 hours later, i finally finish what riku instructed me to do. I open my sees and sees that riku is sitting on his chair while reading a book so i called to him.
"Jiisan i finish what you instructed to do." i said
" That's good. Ok let's finish your training here." riku replied as he close the book that he was reading.
"Yatta." i shouted.
"Now kingu, take a bath while i prepare our dinner" riku said
"okay jiisan" i replied as i started walking towards the house.
"kingu, tomorrow i'm going to teach you my magic so prepare yourself." riku said
"Okay, i heard you jiisan" i replied
After taking a bath, i wore my clothes and walk towards the kitchen.
When i entered the kitchen, my nose was again assaulted by the smell of food.
"Sit here and eat your dinner" riku said as he gestured me to sit on a chair.
After eating my dinner, i headed towards my room and into the bed. A few moments later i drifted into the dreamland.
