"I need to balance both fundamental education and physical training to ensure she doesn't lag behind in either strength or basic academic skills," she explained, tapping on her desk in a synchronized way.
Everyone knew she was determined not to let him lag in any aspect, recognizing the equal importance of education in achieving true empowerment and making him comparable to his peers.
"I'll focus on the essential points during the two hours of basic education; it's not about teaching every detail, but ensuring he grasps the key concepts," she explained, noting down her ideas.
With the constrained time available, she opted for a two-hour education session focused on vital concepts, aiming to ensure he could pass academic tests with average grades. Her primary goal, however, remained centred on making him physically stronger than his current state.
"Naya, these 12 hours a day just aren't sufficient for me to foster his exponential growth in six months. What should I do?" she exclaimed, frustrated but seemingly calm and composed on the outside.
Naya observed her, clad in tiny sunglasses and a straw hat that snugly fit her head, diligently scribbling in her notebook while sipping hot coffee from a miniature cup.
"Are you seriously asking something like this? Obviously, just extend the time – we have 24 hours in a day, you know," she responded, shooting a stupefied stare at her for even posing such a question.
"Wait... You're right! I can extend it to 16 hours a day, and then we'll propel him to the level he desires," she exclaimed, astonished at the simplicity of the solution that had escaped her earlier.
Naya's solution provided a much-needed breakthrough, making it significantly easier to formulate a plan compared to the previously seemingly impossible task.
Just an hour after receiving the solution to her most pressing problem, she crafted a perfect plan for his growth.
"Finally, it's done!" She sighed in relief.
As she was about to share her plan with Naya, her eyes grew heavy, and a wave of sleepiness washed over her. She forced them to stay open but they gradually shut down soon.
"Look at i-" She yawned mid-sentence and slumped onto her desk.
"Easy there now," Naya said, using her tiny hands to prevent her head from hitting the edge of the desk.
"Congratulations, and sleep well now," Naya said with a caring smile.
Naya levitated her and carefully transferred her to the bed, gently covering her with a blanket.
"You've worked yourself enough; now sleep well," she whispered, gently caressing her head.
After completing her plan, Naya used her magic to gently lull her into sleep, preventing her from overworking and exhausting herself. Her care for the contractor stemmed from a deep understanding of her past.
*Ringgerrr, ringgerrrr*
Exactly at 4:00 a.m., her alarm clock blared to life.
Her alarm went off like a nuclear siren, distorting her smiling sleepy face and abruptly waking her up.
"Did I fall asleep, and why am I in bed?" she wondered, groggily questioning her surroundings.
"Wait! The plan! Did I even complete it?" she exclaimed, suddenly concerned about the progress she had made.
"Okay, okay, now stop panicking. You've just woken up!" Naya said, soothingly calming her.
"And yes, you have indeed completed your plan," she added, reassuringly.
She hurriedly returned to her plan, reviewing the training schedule she had crafted. A sense of ease washed over her, knowing she wouldn't have to rush to complete the plan before the deadline.
"Phew, that's a relief," she sighed, feeling a heavy weight being lifted from her chest.
She studied her plan meticulously, scanning every little detail with her eyes moving from left to right and up to down, not missing a bit of what was written on it.
"Good, nothing is missing," she said. Her eyes softened, and her body relaxed as she completed the papers, finding nothing amiss.
"Well, Lloyd won't have much time for proper sleep and rest due to the strict schedule, but it's the price he has to pay for slacking off for two years," she explained, taking a deep worried breath.
She couldn't help but make the plan and timing extremely strict; it seemed the only way to reach their goal within the limited time they had.
The plan was divided into three major sections: School Education, Training, and Sparring. When the time allocated for these three aspects was combined, it totalled sixteen hours a day. The distribution was as follows: 2 hours for basic education, 10 hours for training, and 4 hours for sparring. The time distribution was undeniably strict, leaving her with only about 4 hours of sleep after subtracting the time for his daily activities.
"Well, to ensure he doesn't fall ill or injure himself, I need to buy potions to regulate his growth and keep it in a sustainable phase that won't harm him in the long term," she explained.
Recognizing that he wouldn't be getting the required amount of rest for proper recovery, she understood the necessity of potions to help him feel energized, recover from exhaustion, and facilitate healing.
"That will cost a fortune, but it is what it is," she acknowledged, recognizing the financial commitment involved in his development.
She was aware that his development would entail a significant financial investment. So, she was prepared to spend a massive fortune if it meant he could grow.
"Well, I think I have saved up enough money to cover the expenses for his development and if I didn't then I will manage it," she reassured herself.
Even though the budget was tight, she wasn't overly concerned about lacking funds for potions and other necessities. Her confidence stemmed from her ability to manage the financial aspect through her strength and resourcefulness.
"Well, why do you always forget about me? I can handle that for free," Naya said, playfully biting her ears.
Amidst the calculations and allocation of funds for Lloyd's needs, she momentarily forgot that Naya could handle it effortlessly.
"Wait... You are right! How did I forget that you can do something like this?" she exclaimed, her eyes widening in realization.
"Don't forget next time," Naya reminded her with a playful grin.
With this, the financial trouble was solved. Since she had a fairy companion, she could seek assistance with this matter. She wouldn't need to spend a single ounce of the money, as she could use her magic to achieve the same effect as a potion. Moreover, Naya being a fairy, the effects would be much superior to those of an ordinary potion. She was truly lucky with this one. Naya alone could solve many of her troubles if utilized properly.

These last few chapters were pretty fucking boring. I swear I won't write boring shit like these chapters again. Good thing, we will get into proper training scenes from the next chapters. I plan to sum up the whole training arc in 5-6 chapters. The numbers can go up depending on if anything interesting pops up in my mind.
