Chapter 3
Jake Pov:
My training regimen is extreme, and it has always been that way. Ever since I could walk, same for my brother and sister, our parents had us train, harshly. Right now I do 100 Pushups, Curl-ups, Sit-ups, Burpees, Stretches, 10 Bench press max weight, 10 Deadlift max weight, 10 Squat max weight, 10 Hangclean max weight, 5 mile run, and a bunch of others. Then run a few laps around the 1st floor of the dungeon. At least I would if I was 3-4 years old. At my age, I do five times as much.
I normally do this 3 times a day so I might as well tell my daily schedule. First wake up and get dressed for the day. Next Do the exercises as I had mentioned earlier. Then Breakfast, the most important meal of the day, and doing those exercises on a empty stomach builds up your endurance.
After breakfast I study and play with my sister, and help her study. We have a multitude of books from Rider you see, he would drop at least one book a week here for us. Then I do the exercises again right before lunch, after which I eat lunch.
After Lunch we play and Study more. But us being what we are, we have lots of energy to run around. We have a higher muscle density, endurance, lung capacity, Sight, Touch, Taste, Hearing, Smell, Everything. So we normally end up running through the dungeon playing hide and seek and other stuff. We also go into the forest from time to time having fun.
Then we have dinner after we almost tire out. After dinner we go and do the exercises again. Since Rider said that he would bring some friends to train me if I trained hard I am going to. So for the next week I am going to train like hell. I am going to increase my training regimen by over two times.
So I do those exercises for the next week while making mana flow in the opposite direction. I can't train in magic until my baptism, my brother or a friend of Rider's will do that since we are in the mountains. But as the book said I need to go to a church, so I may go over the mountains to Gamerton. So currently I don't know the amount of Mana I have. I also do meditation training once a week. Basically I make myself one with my surroundings while sitting Cross-legged on the ground with my hands on my knees and eyes closed. This way I am undistracted by worldly surroundings. I do this every Sunday since that is the sabbath and no fighting should occur that day.
Eventually the day comes where Rider arrives with some friends. Other than Rider there are two other people, I saw them from a long way off due to my increased sight and being on a tree. I had just killed a Giant Snake, with night, that was lurking to close to the dungeon. In the bestiary it was yet to be detailed, or ranked for some reason.
I grab the snake, Dragging it, and walk to greet them. "Hi, how was your guy's trip?," I ask casually to which they seem surprised.
"I thought you said this kid was weak. No Wolf pup that is under 16 in the way of Time can kill a Giant Snake, Rider," The Muscular, tanned, Bald and Tattooed man says to Rider. I can't see his eyes as they are mostly slits.
"Yeah, he is surprisingly strong for just a Wolf pup. The only Beast-kin that can kill a Giant Snake before age ten, is the Dire Wolf, which can do it at age five," The other person, a lady in a ankle long, black cloak with a hood, Pink hair and eyes with a staff says to Rider. She, unlike the man, doesn't have any tan or Tattoos.
"Well, I wasn't expecting to see him so soon. Normally he is trying to illegally enter the dungeon without his pet or brother," Rider says while looking down.
"Well, it was to close to the dungeon so I eliminated it. An Night was needing some exercise, weren't you boy. Hahaha," I say while petting Night to which he licks my face.
"HAHAHA!!! This kid has guts, A Hearty Laugh, and a great pet, A Dire Wolf, I'll give him that Rider!," The tan man laughs whole heartily, to which at the Dire wolf part I am confused.
"I'm sorry, I am a bit confused. What do you mean by Dire Wolf, man whose name I do not know," I say with an edge of sarcasm.
"I guess it really is hard to differ the two. Dire wolves are bigger than Normal wolves, They also have a higher muscle density. As to my name, it is Sebastian the Warrior, I specialize in Hand to Hand combat and Swordsmanship. As to my companion over here, Their name is Amelia the Mage, she specializes in all forms of Magic. Though she can't do a few because almost no-one has most Magics. We were brought here by Rider to train you and your family since he said he had promising apprentices," Sebastian the Warrior says.
"I see, Then since I can't train in magic since I have yet to go get baptized. Lets start with hand to Hand combat for now, that good with you?," I ask to which he smiles, almost evilly.
"Amelia, please set up a barrier, also send your pet to watch, Because we are starting now!," Sebastian yells as Amelia sets up the barrier and he charges me.
