Chapter 7 - Noah's morning routine

It is a full slice of life chapter so if you don't have to readit. Nothing important is going to happen.

-----

Noah woke up from his deep sleep after a while. At first he was confused because he didn't remember how he got into his bed. But after a while he remebered his little accident last 'evening'.

*Sigh*

"Be optimistic! Yesterday is yesterday, today is today! At least I can do magic now!"

Noah tried to cheer himself up. He had a realy bad and at the same time good day yesterday. He hushed away his touhgts and looked around in the bedroom.

The room was illuminated by the light coming from the windows. Usually when he goes to sleep he closes the spalettes but he was too sleepy yesterday to care. Looking outside of the window close to his bed, he greeted by the usual sight of the glowing forest. He could see could see some animals in the forrest doing there things. He looked up to the still beautiful cave top with glowing crystals that looked like shining stars in a clear night sky.

"System, what time is it?"

[The time is 5:50 Host. ]

Noah frowned. He had double feeling about the ceiling. At one hand he loved it because it was beautifull but on the another hand he still couldn't adapt to the life whitout the sun.

He turned his attention back to his bedroom. The room was fairly big. It had two sections. Half of the the room had a wood floor and the other half had a floor with a mat on it made out of grass like thing. The room had a lot of window. Whit them the room was lighted up by 'natural' light. And in the middle was a tree growing. It was one of the many trees that supported the whole house.

The side of the room where it had a wood floor was his living place. And it had a table with a chair and a bookshelf and a gardrobe. But on the bookshelf instead of books there were figures made out of clay or wood. It was one of Noah's new hobby, sculptoring his family and friends or anime figures. He liked making them, it made him remember his past life. And maybe they were crude and unrecognizable but it was getting better. In the gardrobe he stored his hand made clothes. He had a very few of them for now because the leather is still processing and working with leather without correct tools is really hard.

The other side of the room looked like a Japanese dojo. There were different kind of wooden weapons on the wall. Noah built this place close to his bed because he didn't want to forget about the morning exercise and probably the main reason because it looked cool.

*Yawn*

"Another great day today! So much things to do!"

Noah stretched his hands and climbed out of his bed while yawning. He put the home made leather slippers with smooth animal fur inside in it, on his foot.

He walked towards the 'dojo' side of the room. He stopped infront of the mat. And took of the slippers. And stepped on the mat barefooted.

Noah stood in the middle of the 'dojo' and ready for his morning exercise. Wich he did since he got to this world beacuse it helps to wake up and it helps to adopt to his body wich gets stronger day by day.

He usually starts with streching because he knows, without stretching you can get injured. After stretching out his legs hands and other body parts he continues his routine with warm-up. Because he is not training a lot at the mornings so he only does a few sit ups and push ups. After Noah feels his muscles are ready. He starts practicing hand to hand martial arts wich he got from the spearmanship guide for free.

After half an hour or so, Noah stopped practicing and walked to the wall where the wooden weapons were. He lifted up a wooden staff with smooth surface and swung it a few times. After feeling the balance of the staff is good, he walked back to the middle.

Where he started to exercise his spearmanship. With swings, cuts and stabes. Even if Noah only had enough points for the basic version, still his every move carried some kind of tranquility in them. Maybe because Noah started to infuse some mana into his every move subconsciously, but he didn't realized it yet. He only feels his swings are getting stronger. But he didn't tought it was strange because he always got stronger since he arrived to this world.

For a while the only thing in the room that could be heard is rhythmic sound of the Noah's swungs and the muffled sound of his foot hitting the floor mat.

But this tranquil rhythm broke when Noah decided that he practiced enough and stopped. He placed back the wooden staff in place.

"System, what time is it now?"

[It is 7:46 Host!]

Seeing that he still got time. Noah decided to take a quick bath. Before breakfast. He walked to the only door in the room and opened it.

The door opened to a corridor. On Noah's left was the end of the corridor with a window providing the light. In front of him was an another door and at his right the corridor opened to a bigger place.

Noah walked straight to the door infront of him, he opened the door with out hesitation. Behined the door was the bathroom. On the left there was a cupboard with a wooden tab on top of it. And there was a strange pipe above it with a thing on it that looked like a faucet. In the left corner there was a big wooden barrel. And above the barrel there was the same pipe with a faucet on it. In the right was the toilet. The toilet was diveded by a wall from the hand washer and the tub. The light source here too was the windows.

No matter how strange it is. Out of all the room he built, Noah is the most proud of the bathroom. Beacuse the pipes above the hand washer and tub are functions as a tap. He built a whole channel out of the lake and use it to automatically bring up water from the lake into a reservoir on top of the room. Like this you can get water just by opening the tap. Sadly the toilet is still an 'outdoor toilet'.

So he built a pipe that leads from the toilet down to a hole.

Noah walked to the 'tub' and opened the tap. Blue glowing water immediately started to flow out of the pipe. Noah started to undress his cloth. He is still useing his old clothes at home because they are way more comfortable than what he makes now.

By the way you might ask why to build such a water system when you can conjur water in seconds. And that is a question. But it has more than one reason. First of Noah likes to build cool things and seconed the lake's water has magical properties that conjur water doesn't has.

While Noah was taking off his clothes, the 'tub' filled up with magical water. Noah closed the the tap. And he put his index finger into the water.

It was neither cold nor warm. It was lukewarm. But today's Noah is not yesterday's Noah. So he concentrated like every time he does magic. Ang voala in few seconds later the whole tub was filled with steaming hot water.

Noah immediately stepped into the water.

"Ahhh, when was the last time when I bathed in hot water?!"

[It was 32 days ago Host!]

"It was a poetic question"

After enjoying himself for a while in the hot bath Noah grabbed the soap he made. And started to clean himself. After chilling in the bath for some time the water started to cool down. So he climed out of the 'tub'. And because he didn't have a towel. He used magic to dry himself. After puting on his cloth on he was ready for the day!

"It is time to start the work!"
