Chapter 9 - Training regimen

After finishing this horrible meal, I went to the training grounds to look for weapons suitable for training.

'I should start training with a wooden sword since I'm still a beginner.'

The training grounds are located outside of the mansion.

I saw a carriage waiting outside the mansion as I walked outside. Since it bore the Alexander family crest, I suppose there aren't any unexpected guests.

'But who is going away?'

A mature woman appeared behind me as I was considering possible candidates leaving the mansion.

'That....that's my stepmom, right?'

She was in a hurry when we last met, so I couldn't tell her appearance, but now that I'm getting a closer look,

'She is really beautiful'

She has beautiful white hair, blood-red lips, crimson-red eyes, and a face that has been exquisitely carved. Her breasts are large and her ass is succulent; her body is extremely ripe.

She turned her gaze in my direction as she caught my gaze, approached, and opened her mouth without showing any interest in her eyes.

"Flynn Ernest, I, and my daughter are currently moving out of this house for a brief period. I hope all goes well for you while we are gone."

The Vice-General of the Knight Order spoke eloquently because she was accustomed to giving orders to others, her voice sounded like that of a general. Given that her love for me is only 40%, it's not surprising that she seemed to care far too little about me.

"Certainly, my dear stepmother. I hope you have a wonderful time away from home."

I looked her in the eyes and spoke, her expression turned a little surprised. That makes sense because the previous Flynn would have bowed his head while speaking to her.

She nodded and turned around to enter the carriage as she expressed her approval of my growth while still being surprised by it.

'Perhaps my sister is inside the carriage already..'

It's a shame she's going because I won't be able to increase her affection towards me while she's gone. I also want to confirm her appearance because she was breathtakingly beautiful in the game.

*sigh*

I let out a disappointed sigh before realizing something crucial.

'What is their exact reason for leaving, and where are they going?'

Perhaps it is connected to the uproar in my father's office this afternoon. I heard my father scream "I didn't want to marry you in the first place" so maybe they have problems with their marriage.

'Hmmm. For the time being, I shouldn't stress myself out too much. For now, I should concentrate on improving my fighting skills. To impress my 'sister' when she comes back, I can also learn how to cook.'

As I walked to the practice area, I tried to block out the recent event from my thoughts.

The training facilities fall short of expectations in terms of beauty. It's simply a roomy area ideal for running and other physical activities. Additionally, some dummies are used to practice offensive techniques.

As the Alexander family uses this space exclusively for training, there is no one currently using it. The staff of the mansion is trained in another training facility, but that is unimportant at this time.

Numerous diverse types of weapons are kept in storage close to the training grounds, in addition to the area where the training grounds are located. I entered the storage space and cautiously examined all of the weapons there.

Given that the Alexanders are a family of spearmen, there are more spears in the storage than there are other kinds of weapons, though there are also a good number of swords.

I moved right to the section with the wooden weapons after ignoring all of the weapons. Swords, axes, hatchets, spears, and other wooden weapons were among the assortment. I looked through the wooden swords but could not find anything that would work for me.

'There must be something heavier. . something akin to a great sword.'

I spent a few minutes going through the weapons and finally found a great sword. It's smaller than I had hoped, but I will make a customized weapon after I finish my training, so there's no need to fret over it for now.

I took the great sword and headed to the practice area, where I began to swing it. I guess the great sword is heavier than my current body can handle as my movements are awkward.

'Well, nothing physical exercise can't fix.'

To improve my endurance and get in better shape, I should start running. After a week of running, I should begin strength training, and once I've finished that, I should be able to begin sword training.

'Welp, I won't be able to begin cultivating yet, so that should be fine for the next two years. I could always alter my training schedule in the future if I discover any ways to improve it.'

I officially began my training by running around the training ground after making a hasty plan for the future.
