[Three weeks timeskip]
It's been three weeks since I started to train with Evia. My lifestyle here is completely different. I'm living inside the castle; where my room is located. During these three weeks of training, I've learned about a lot of things related to this world And yet I'm becoming better and stronger now. I could finally do 100 pushups And 100 sit-ups now. Physically I've improved quite a bit. Magically, I haven't learned a single spell yet. I haven't discovered my "magic type" Yet. Yes, magic and mana exist in this world, I've learned about this from Evia. So according to her:
Mana, It's a sort of spiritual energy which resides Within every living being, no matter whether it's plants or animals. Everyone has had it since their very own birth. To make use of it, one much have/learn the basic knowledge of magic, making use out of mana in other words is known as "𝙈𝙖𝙜𝙞𝙘", now, magic has different types (depending on what type the user got from birth), it can be either be element based, or even controlling supernatural phenomena, though these types are super rare, it's mostly possessed by the Gods or demons, no human in the history of this 'unique' has ever possessed that sort of ridiculous magic.
It's quite simple and easily comprehensible. Though, achieving mastery over it is not child's play. In my case, I haven't even learned to utilize mana yet, quite disappointing if you ask me.
Right now, I was outside of the kingdom; present within the forest. The queen has permitted me to roam around as she trusts me for obvious reasons. I was wearing a black jacket with a white T-shirt inside it, the zip was opened, along with full dark blue pants. Yep, my outfit was changed, in my opinion. I look better in this rather than in my school uniform, the time was noon. I was wandering around the forest. Though, I didn't go deep inside, "Alright, found an open spot." The reason why I was wandering around the forest was that I was seeking a place for me to train 'alone'. I could've probably trained inside the forest present within the kingdom itself. However, I didn't want Evia to track me. She'll probably get pissed at me cause I was training without her. She's kinda hard to cooperate with but I still respect her whatsoever. I think she won't able to track my presence from here, 𝘭𝘦𝘵'𝘴 𝘫𝘶𝘴𝘵 𝘩𝘰𝘱𝘦.
So, I began to train myself; doing push-ups, sit-ups, and stretching for a vast period (approximately 50 minutes.), after doing that, I stood up And wiped off the sweat dripping down from me, "Ah, another today. Another session." I said to myself, "Let's see." I suddenly got an idea; I thought of practising my combat Skills, I've learned quite a bit from Evia. To begin my training, I first clenched both of my fists And started throwing punches around at full speed, my punches after a while started to get blurry. This simply means I was somehow breaking the human limitations of 'speed', guess my 'training' with Evia a few weeks ago is proven to be inhumanly effective, I preserved the process for twenty Consecutive minutes. After that, I started practising roundhouse kicks and my foot accidentally hit a tree And left a mark on the tree. It seems like I'm evolving inhumanly. Granted, it's perhaps possible in this world considering logic here is different.
"There you are!" I heard a familiar female voice behind me, I immediately turned back And saw Evia standing. I estimated that she was trying to find me so she came here in search of me all along. I rubbed the backside of my head using my right hand and smiled at her awkwardly. "Hey." I said awkwardly, "At Least tell me before you go anywhere!" Evia shouted at me.
Dammit, I thought she won't be able to track me here. But, you know. It's Evia we're talking about. "Ye- I'm sorry." I apologized to her, "Leave all of these aside for a second. I need to tell you something, both of us were invited to a selection tournament."
Tournament? What does she mean by that? "Eh? What kind of tournament?" I tilted my head in confusion. "This tournament is to decide who's capable of protecting humanity along with a selective number of individuals, working as a 'Guild',
Let's make it more simple. There will be 10 matches between two selected individuals, the queen herself invited, divided into columns A and B, both you And me are in column A. Those, whoever wins their respective round are chosen to be paired up with the winning individuals. In short, there will be continuous matches until 10 winners are decided out of 20. The queen organized this so the worthy individuals may reside in the 𝙈𝙮𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙘𝙖𝙡 𝙧𝙚𝙖𝙡𝙢. Because that's the place where the true "war" Effects begin. In simple words, they'll protect this realm of ours via mythical realm, if things get out of hand. We'll probably even need to enter the highest realm to stop the war. This is more of a suicide mission, you understand right..?" She looked at me as she finished her words.
Now, I know from the beginning that this is a suicide mission. Which is okay, in my whole life I haven't done anything which is worth praise. So, at least I can do something considerable and worth it. I've already accepted my destiny. Now it's all up to fate on what happens to me, I'll just go along. And if I somehow could change fate itself. I'll gladly do it. So, I smiled as I looked at her, "I know, and I'll gladly accept the invitation." I declared, accepting the invitation.
