"Ah, I understand. As you've come here to train, I won't waste any more of your time. Feel free to continue with your activities."
"Okay, Mr. Ried."
"In the future, just call me Ried. Hahaha."
"But I feel it's too awkward, as you're my senior. May I call you Sir instead?"
"No problem, kid."
Will began a stretching exercise, which caused a lot of curious glances from the knights. Ried approached him to inquire.
"Hey, what are you doing there, kid?"
"Well, Sir, this is a Warm-Up exercise. It stretches every part of the body, which in turn, loosens the muscles, making for a smoother workout."
"That's a pretty interesting technique you have there. Would you mind teaching it to the knights and me?"
"Of course, Sir. That's not a problem."
Suddenly, Ried's voice boomed out, commanding and powerful.
"Attention! Everyone, gather here now! We have the young master William Gray, who has agreed to teach you all a technique to improve your training."
All the knights quickly gathered around when they heard who was there and what William was teaching. These knights were all top class, but as they were not nobles, they did not have access to higher level techniques that nobles have. So when they heard that the young master of the esteemed Warrior Grey family was going to teach them a technique, they were eager to find out what it was.
Greetings to everyone, I am William Gray but you may address me as Will. We'll be starting with a Warm-Up Exercise to loosen up our muscles and make our training more efficient. I request you all to remove your armors.
The sound of armor clattering on the ground echoed throughout the area, one after another as the soldiers remove their armor.
The soldiers, without any hesitation, shed their armors, creating a deafening thud with each impact on the ground.
Will couldn't help but feel astounded at the sight of the soldiers removing their heavy armor with ease.
Will was momentarily taken aback by the display, but the collective tension in the air snapped him back to reality.
"Alright, everyone, let's get started," Will says, gesturing for the soldiers to follow his lead.
Will began demonstrating his personal warm-up routine, which he had crafted using his extensive knowledge of the human muscle system gained in his previous life.
Utilizing his expertise, Will had developed an incredibly effective warm-up method.
Will noticed a few soldiers making mistakes that could cause harm instead of helping, so he swiftly corrected their form.
"Alright everyone, your bodies should be properly warmed up now," Will says, ready to move on to his training.
As Will led the soldiers and Reid through the warm-up routine, they couldn't help but be drawn to his commanding presence and natural charisma.
William's charisma and his meticulous observation of his soldiers' movements had earned him a great deal of admiration from the seasoned soldiers and Reid. They were stunned by the stark contrast between his commanding style and that of his elder brother, who was known for his harsh and callous demeanor.
(William's Pov)
The time had come for William to delve into some intense training. He began by attempting to run the entire perimeter of the training ground, but his stamina soon failed him and he was only able to make it halfway.
William struggled to catch his breath, the sheer size of the training ground far surpassing what he had anticipated.
An alert echoed in William's mind, informing him of a newfound improvement in his speed and dexterity by 1 point.
William felt his body slowly regain its strength and the aches in his legs fading away, his exhaustion dissipating.
William's curiosity was piqued as he wondered why his stats had improved so quickly in speed and dexterity, but his strength had yet to reach three points. He asked Emma in his mind, "Wait a minute, Emma, why have my stats increased so quickly in speed and dexterity but I am still stuck at two in strength?"
Emma's voice resounds in his mind, [That's because, Will, after the first time you trained in strength, you stopped pushing yourself before you reached your limit. You never pushed yourself further."]
William sighed, accepting that he had room for improvement. He decided to focus on pushing himself further, now that he had a clearer path to follow.
With renewed Strength, William rose to his feet and set out to run the perimeter of the training ground twice. Taking breaks as needed, he pushed himself to the limit.
Frustrated and exhausted, William asked Emma, "Why haven't my stats improved despite
William stood up, and a determined expression appeared on his face. He began to run around the training grounds, pushing himself to the limit. He took breaks when he needed to catch his breath, but each time he stood back up, ready to keep pushing himself.
William asked Emma, about the progress of his stats. He was frustrated that despite his constant efforts, his stats had not improved. He guessed that it might be because the higher the stat, the more effort he had to put in to see any improvement.
Emma confirmed William's assumption, that the higher the stat, the more effort he had to put in to see any improvement.
William let out a sigh of frustration, realizing that his journey to improving his stats was going to be a long and challenging one.
William went back to his room, wanting to change things up after all of that running. He did the strength exercises he had been doing but this time, he pushed himself harder than ever before. He pushed himself to the point where his arms felt like they were made of stone and he could not move them.
Emma's voice echoed in William's mind, congratulating him on his hard work and effort. She informed him that he had gained +1 point in strength.
William felt his arm strength recover, and it was a magical process. He felt an incredible rush of energy and excitement as he watched his arms regain their strength.
William realized that he just needed that extra push to see an improvement in his stats. He had broken through to +3 points in strength, and he was proud of himself for pushing himself to his limits.
A knock on the door echoed through William's room, interrupting his thoughts.
A voice from the other side of the door informed William that his father had called for him.
I responded back, telling the voice that I would be out in 10 minutes..
I rubbed my hands over my chest and felt the sweat soaked through my shirt. I was about to change my clothes, but the idea of a refreshing bath suddenly crossed my mind. I couldn't resist the temptation and decided to take a quick bath before I did anything else.
I made my way to the bathroom, feeling invigorated just by the thought of the cool water. As I stepped into the shower, I let the water wash away the sweat and grime, feeling the tension in my muscles melt away. After my bath, I got dressed in a pair of comfortable, casual clothes and made my way out of the room, feeling refreshed.
