Loti sect ,in the inner sect .
Wake up kiddo ,come on wake up kid it's time to start training.
A bearded man could be seen shaking a small kid in bed .
"come on Frank wake up ",the man said but the kid didn't move .
Arrg dammed kid the man grumbled before grabbing the childs leg and lifting him up with it .
Aarrhh the scream come from the child . A few seconds later ...
Ok ok I'm up dad ,can you put me down already.
The kid yawn and rubbed his eyes when he put on the ground.
why did you wake up so early today ,what's going on.
Congratulations kiddo ,I finally got a few weeks free from my duties in the sect .Now we're gonna start your martial arts training. You've been begging me since you saw the sects Internal competition 3 months back .
Now get changed and and you'll find me under the trees outside
The man said leaving the room .
..
Outside in the backyard
Sit down ,I'll have to tell you somethings before we start training.
You better remember this n live by it in your training and all .
In martial arts basics and foundation are what matter the most .
You're too young to talk to about the importance of foundation yet .I'll explain in detail when you start cultivating.
Now we will focus on your mind and body.
As a cultivator a strong body is a necessity to progress smoothly .
The base of your cultivation is your body .You must be strong enough to handle the energy and survive injuries in battle.
You must also know knowledgeable in combat .
So for the next 3 years we will be building your body .
You will also learn martial arts to fight and defend yourself.
Do you understand that, The man asked looking at the child .
"Yes ,I understand father " the kid nodded
We will be dealing with this in your training ,your body is your best weapons and we will hone that. Weapon to its best we can .
Will work on your , stamina, endurance, speed, strength, balance, control and flexibility .You will also have to train your will and mental fortitude. Without the will to move forward you can't never go far. You also have to be able to make decisions under pressure and pain .
I have devised this plan for your training, follow it to the T nothing more nothing less . Otherwise it will turn to be counterproductive and harm your body .
The man pulled out a book from no where and gave it to the child .
Alright now Frank look at these exercises and poses .
Go ahead and warm up then you're gonna do them while ,I will be correcting and guiding you for the next three weeks .
Young Frank soon started to do the exercises and yoga poses .
Bring your arms closer together and straighten your back ,
lean back more and balance on your toes ,
Frank's father could be seen instructing and sometimes manually correct the errors in Frank's form .
A long 3 hours later , Frank and his father had already finished training.
Sitting on the porch with Frank lying flat on the floor .
Tilda ,Tilda come to the porch .Frank's dad called .
Moments later a Tilda the house maid showed up ,
you called for master bett ,she asked .
Ahh yes ,I want you to prepare soft porridge made of blue leaf maize and red sourgum for Frank here .He will be eating it in the morning till I say otherwise, understand .Bett instructed the maid .
As you wish master bett ,I'll be going now .
Tilda did a bow and left the father, son dou on the porch .
Now son you're to take lessons from Tilda after this to learn how to properly read and write .The lessons will be after breakfast when you've rested . Bett and Frank continued talking with Bett explaining some things to his son and tasks .
An odd 20 minutes later, Tilda returned holding a tray with two bowls of hot porridge and two metal spoons in the side .
I've brought the porridge master bett ,she said placing the food between the two and stepping away .
Thank you Tilda ,ohh yes Tilda I need you to teach Frank how to read , write and all the common sense of the world .
...
Frank's pov
Just finished training with my dad and Tilda brought the porridge father asked for .
lt looks rather strange ,with red brown grains and white mixed into a thick paste .The smell also sweet yet sour underneath.
Looking at My father eat it with no problems, I took the spoon and took some in my mouth .
The taste was great ,a blend of sweet and sour with a slight rough texture .The thickness made it easy to swallow while feeling more
fulfilling that simple soup to the stomach. I loved it .
After a while of eating I soon felt a warmth in my stomach .
My muscles stopped aching and exhaustion was fading away .
By the time I finished it I was feeling better and recovered by more than half .
Come on young master Frank let's go ,Said Tilda who picked up the tray with our bowls and went inside the house .
I followed closely by while my father seemed to have vanished after finishing his bowl .
Following after Tilda ,we reached the study ,where she instructed me to sit and left for a while before returning with several books .
And so She started teaching me how to read with several books .
So I started learning under her guidance and it was rather a pain too.
After 4 hours spent in the study with Tilda ,I was free to go do whatever I wanted .As a 5 year old child I went away playing around the house and outside in the yard .
Tilda would also play with me when she's not busy. She also gave me several Educational games as he called them to play during the time .
Later on in the evening my father popped up again and we had dinner together with tilda .
We chatting during the meal when my dad suddenly said .
You know Frank if you can do the exercises on your own by the end of the 3rd week and in 150 minutes I'll take out the the city .
Really you promise ,I asked looking at him eagerly .
yes I promise kid ,even if I can't go Tilda will go out with you .
...
The new order in my life so started ,wake up early exercises and yoga.
eat that porridge ,study with Tilda .play ,eat dinner and sleep .
I also managed to do as father said in a little over 2 weeks which got me a trip outside to the city .
