The next morning, my training officially began, and I followed Alfred's meticulous plan to condition my body for peak performance. I kept up the pretense of doing research with the system in my room, but in reality, I had everything I needed with Alfred guiding me every step of the way.
"Master Duke, remember to adjust your body's posture for optimal results during your combat training," Alfred reminded me, projecting helpful images and real-time instructions to my eyes.
"Thanks, Alfred," I replied, feeling grateful for his constant guidance.
I was also instructed to condition my body to perform at its peak with minimal rest, a crucial aspect of Batman's training. With Alfred monitoring and planning my training regimen, I knew I would be well-prepared for the challenging road ahead.
As my training intensified, my father decided that I should have a dedicated training facility and live with my tutors for immersive learning. My mother, though initially against the idea, managed to convince my father that she would visit me often. I also promised my siblings that I would spend time with them when they returned from the academy.
Over the next week, my siblings wished me well and eagerly awaited my return to share my newly acquired skills. Little did they know that my real training was being orchestrated by Alfred, who knew everything about my tutors, even their classified backgrounds.
"Alfred, these tutors have some questionable affiliations," I said, sharing my concerns with him.
"Indeed, Master Duke. It seems they might be gathering information about you and your powers," Alfred replied, analyzing the situation.
"I'll keep my guard up and share only what's necessary," I decided, determined to protect myself and my family.
As days turned into weeks, my mother showered me with care, and my father emphasized the importance of this phase in my life. He even mentioned keeping a close watch for spies but didn't delve into the details, knowing I was still a young boy.
During this time, I immersed myself in my training, both with the tutors and under Alfred's watchful eye. I pushed my limits, honing my combat skills, mastering acrobatics, and understanding advanced technology. With Alfred's support, I was confident that I was making exceptional progress.
As the days passed, my passion for becoming the Dark Knight only intensified. I knew that my journey was unorthodox and challenging, but it was the path I had chosen, and I was determined to succeed. With Alfred as my guide and my family's love and support, I felt unstoppable on this heroic quest that lay ahead.
