As I have one of the maids lead me to the training grounds , I just Surmised there would be one as it is a nobles house .
The maid looks young around the age of 17 to 18 maybe ? With brunette hair and a face with cute freckles even with those traits her looks can certainly be said to be in par with a modern day model you see on the advertisements in TV,
seriously everyone here that I've encountered has good looks that are above average from my previous world !!
It makes me feel more prideful of myself haha , as it looks like I'm above average in this world if I do say so myself .
I asked the young maid some questions while on the way to the training grounds ,
Apparently our house is a barony ,
My family became nobles after father's contribution in the war between the Demi-humans and humans , Apparently this father of mine was a commoner who worked as a mercenary before the war started and was scouted by the current king who was a prince at that time. The prince after witnessing father's exemplary swordsmanship commanded that he join the military, which father did .
After only a year of joining Father became a commander who led them to several victories in the war and the king after accepting father's contributions in the war gave him the title of nobility .eventually after a decade long war they came to a peace treaty and the time of peace came .
That was 15 years ago ! So that's why my father gave off such a tense vibe hmmm …dudes a war veteran ( Quite an original setting again Author ! ),
anyways after that we came upon the topic of magic and mana in this world .
Magic has been prevalent in this world since time immemorial, and everything in existence has mana be it water or humans everything is a culmination of mana that is alive ( in simple sense mana is the atom of this world instead of saying everything consists of small clusters and forms something they mean mana is a magical power given by the Gods exists to give life and take life , there cannot be an existence without mana as it would be an irregularity and break the laws of this world- I asked that just to be sure )
So , technically speaking even I can use magic !!!
That's the only good news I've heard since I've woken up ! After probing around about the world I've come to a conclusion ,
The way people here practice magic is different from the novels we read back in our world , Mana here is a type of lifeform or power that exists everywhere here and it can condense itself as well as the matter of humans being able to recreate mana for some illogical reason that means there might be various ways to utilise mana ! I wonder how much the advancement of this world is in terms of the novels I read , how powerful have the people here gotten ?
Logically speaking if a person utilises mana in his wrists and arms during a sword slash and focuses only on forming a small amount of mana being formed on the sharp side of the blade and just swings it , they can create a wind slash attack with the help of mana !!
I mean , technically it'd be mana slash but with wind attributes but still !!! Depending on the amount of power added it could be quite destructive!!! ( Talk about Overpowered)
After a few more minutes of questions ,
we reached the training grounds inside a building made especially for the knights of the house to practice , there are different sections for the knights and the family members the maid leads me to the section where the heirs of the family are supposed to train .
Upon reaching our destination, the training ground for the heirs seems to be uhmmm??
Too big ?? If I do say so ? It's almost twice
the size of a modern football field !
Isn't this supposed to just be a barony ?
The maid speaks upon seeing my reaction -
The Lord likes to train more than any other activity , Thus The size of the training grounds and the facilities were the most focused upon in the entire barony .
Ohh , Dudes a Gymfreak I get it . What else can you expect from a man that's almost ,6 feet 7 or 8 ! With a build that would put most bodybuilders to shame even if he is on the lean type .
As I tell the maid she doesn't have to stay here and tend to me , She refutes back saying she is my personal maid and it is her duty , well , who am I to stop her from doing her duty ?
As I start warming up with some stretches , I keep glancing at the maid who stares at me fiery eyes that have no emotion in them , I guess stretching like this isn't weird here ?
( MC is doing modern stretching exercises including the weird knee ups and yoga warm ups for more flexibility).
For some reason , I feel no discomfort in the body and even if there's a height disparity this body feels natural to me as if it's my birth body .
Well can't expect less from a fantasy novel can we ?
I start doing my work out by running around the grounds , exerting more force on my feet with each step to go faster and faster .
Within 10 mins of running on full force I fall on the ground having ran 10 laps of the grounds I felt amazed at myself if it was the old me of my world my asthmatic body would've given up in the first lap ! Haha ..???
Wait ??? I had asthma ? ?
After realising an important detail of my past life in my memory I'm currently sitting up on the floor of the grounds as the maid runs upto me to hand me a towel .
Asthma ? Why did I suddenly remember that detail ?? Shouldn't I have remembered that before my run ? What's wrong with my memory , why do I realise things after I do something ?? Hmmmm this could mean my memory only comes back after I go through something similar or identical to my past selfs difficulties … heh way to be original … Author !!!!
As I'm sitting on the floor the maid next to me ( I don't know her name yet , I asked her some questions before as I was too curious and lost the chance to ask her name !! Screw my introverted nature always making things awkward for me !!! It's not like I usually ask for people's names you know !!!)
Starts probing for my left hand and comes upon a small cut from when I abruptly fell and sat on the ground , seriously the way she's looking at it makes me feel weird also the way she's holding my hand .
As I'm going through my inner monologue, the maid starts closing her eyes and ( Cue the special effects !!! Wind starts blowing stronger and her nicely bunned starts to scatter around , her hand that is holding mine currently starts to glow a yellow-ish hue a bright light starts to form everything else becomes a blurr for me and then I hear a single sentence come from her mouth that is - Heal ! . In an instant the yellow-ish hue starts becoming brighter and my palm feels hotter and hotter as I lay my eyes on the wound I see " It " starts to heal in a time skip manner as if that part of my body was going through days in mere seconds while the rest of my body remained in the present ! Truly an amazing sight to behold .)
After the wound is seemingly healed the maid , stands up and says - the wound is healed young master please take a rest and have something to eat .
Grey- Ehh??
