Demir arrived at the informal education building early in the morning. When he entered, all his classmates were there and a very beautiful woman with straight red hair down to her waist was with them. She looked very cute and innocent in a square-collared, watermelon-sleeved midi dress.
When the whole class gathered together, this cute and innocent-faced beautiful woman started talking.
- Hello children. My name is Elina. Starting today, I will be leading your physical education and practical lessons. I think you and I will get along well because you are all so cute. So, do your best while we are in our lesson, okay?
Also, since all our lessons from now on will be in the open field training area, you no longer need to come to this building. Now, let's all go to our training area together and start our lesson, okay?
- (Demir) Okay teacher…
- (Everyone turned and gave Demir a sharp look while Elina, the instructor, directed the children.) So let's hit the road and become acquainted with meanwhile we're on walk, shall we?
Demir was about to say, "Okay teacher," but stopped himself at the last moment. He, like the others, should have made it a habit not to answer the teacher, but it was not easy to suddenly give up the habit that had been engraved in his brain since he started kindergarten.
Everyone set off and came to the open field training area under the guidance of Elina the trainer. The training area was in the forested area between the informal training building and the dormitories. It was not visible from a distance due to the dense wood structure of the forest.
Demir had come here a few times before because he had seen it on the academy map, but he hadn't been able to get in because the training area was closed.
Now when Elina and the trainer entered, they headed towards a single-story and quite long building. When they entered the glass entrance door of the building, Elina pointed to the right with her instructor hand,
- Guys, you can change in the first room over there. After you are done, come back here and wait for us, okay? We will be in the room here with Tauriel. I will see you in ten minutes…
When everyone changed their clothes and met again, Elina the trainer's outfit immediately attracted attention. She was wearing a stableboy's outfit that fit perfectly. With her boots that came down to her knees, the whip she hung from her belt around her waist, and the long, thin horsewhip in her hand, she didn't look like she was going to do any sports. Among the children's astonished looks, Instructor Elina tied her hair like a ponytail.
- Yes, my little and cute foals... Let's go now and do some training, shall we?
While Istructor Elina was in front and the children were behind, Demir approached Durualp quietly.
- Durualp, what is this? I've never seen such sportswear before.
- It's a stableboy's outfit. In other words, the outfit worn by those who train horses.
- Are we horses? She's dressed like that.
- (Durualp was looking at the whip on Elina trainer's waist with his trembling eyes.) His clothes are not important. What really matters is the whip she hung from her waist and the horsewhip in her hand. I hope she doesn't use them on us.
The children's steps, enlightened by Durualp's words, suddenly slowed down. As Elina, who was walking in front of them, looked at the trainer, their trembling bodies revealed a truth. It was obvious that they were going to have a very hard time working with this woman with a whip...
They all came to the training area, which was divided into many different work areas, independent of each other. All work areas were surrounded by fences and there were different working mechanisms in each area.
After walking for a while longer, the group came to a new work area. This was a completely empty and flat area. While the children were looking at the new work area, the Instructor Elina gave them their first task.
- Children... You have to run ten laps around this place to warm up your bodies. While you are running I will check you out from here. Let's start running now.
The children started running immediately without any order. It took them about one lap to run as a group. The next two rounds continued like this. But on their next tour, Tauriel and Demir slowly started to leave the group. They were more vigorous than the others because they exercised every day.
Finally, towards the end of the fourth lap, when the gap between them increased by more than half a lap, the Instructor Elina took out the whip from her waist and swung it in front of Tauriel and Demir. Due to the whip hitting the ground right in front of them, a deep hole was formed on the ground and the surroundings suddenly turned into dust and smoke.
The two, frightened by the sudden noise and the dust and smoke, threw themselves aside and saved themselves. When they somehow managed to get themselves to safety, their fearful gazes began to search for the cause of this dust and smoke. Meanwhile, Elina, the trainer, slowly gathered her whip and came to the children,
- Oh, my little scared cute foals. Be careful, there is a depression in the ground. You don't want to sprain your foot, do you? Moreover, there is no one with you to help you. (Ignoring the children's fearful looks, she continued her speech, pointing to Eiderd and Durualp in the distance.) Look, they are far away. They can't help you right?
(Elina, the trainer, crouched down next to the children who still hadn't gotten up and calmly warned them.) All the little foals must be together. Don't forget that, okay? (The two nodded in agreement.) Now run and catch those two before they get here. Otherwise, I will be very angry.
Tauriel and Demir suddenly stood up and started running. Demir increased his speed by using the north wind's celestial steps and quickly caught up with Eiderd and Durualp. Tauriel caught up with the group at the last moment as the tour was about to end and took a deep breath as she was saved from the Instructor Elina's violence. Now, as the whole group finished the fourth lap together, instructor Elina was looking at them with a smile.
When the difficult run finally ended, they stood next to the Instructor Elina. Nobody dared to sit. They had now realized a fact. The first mistake they made would definitely be hit by that whip...
- Children, it took you about twenty-two minutes to do ten laps. Try to finish your next run in eighteen minutes, okay? Now rest for ten minutes and I'll bring you something to drink.
When Instructor Elina left, the kids threw themselves on the ground and started talking. Durualp, who was sweating everywhere, was the first to speak.
- I am done. How am I going to run in eighteen minutes? I was already running at my fullest speed. There's no way I'm going to reduce twenty-two minutes to eighteen minutes. This woman is definitely going to whip me.
- (Tauriel, pointing at Eiderd) Even this lazy one runs faster than you. If you don't speed up, we'll all be whipped.
- (Eiderd) If we leave you, we'll be whipped. If we stand next to you, we'll be whipped again. It seems we have no salvation. (Eiderd thought a little and came up with an idea.) It's best if you don't run at all. You're going to pretend you're sick and wait on the sidelines, okay?
- !?
Time flew by as the kids came to a decision and the Instructor Elina arrived with drinks in her hand.
- Kids, you tried really hard and you deserve it. Here's a drink each.
While everyone was sipping their drinks, Durualp approached Instructor Elina, bowing his head as if he were guilty, he spoke,
- Instructor Elina, my right ankle hurts a little. Your... I mean, I couldn't see that hole in the ground and I think I sprained my ankle there... Would it be okay if I didn't participate in this run and rested on the sidelines for a bit?
- Of course you can rest. You should spend your last moments in peace, right? But don't be afraid, I will work hard for you and make sure you have a painless ending...
- (Duraualp's heart was suddenly startled and filled with fear.) Now that I talked to you, I felt like my foot pain was gone. (He stamped his foot hard on the ground a few times.) Look, it doesn't hurt at all.
(When he raised his head and saw the Instructor Elina's surprised look, he added another lie to his lie.) Actually, I also want to work hard for you and accomplish this task. Now I will go to my friends and run with them and I believe that I will get a good result...
(Instructor Elina smiled and encouraged him.) Okay... I trust you, my little foal... You can do this... But don't forget that if you want to rest, I'm here...
- !!
Durualp, who was running with the fear of death, continued to run even after the race was over. If Demir hadn't warned him, he would have gotten away from the group and he would have been on Instructor Elina's radar. Fortunately, he stopped at the last minute and come back and joined the group again...
After Instructor Elina congratulated them on their success, they began to study the basics of the north wind. Instructor Elina first did the movements shown in the book and then asked the children to do them. Whenever the children did the movements incorrectly, Instructor Elina would go children behind them and hit them on the back with the whip in her hand.
No one could escape from Instructor Elina's whips except Demir. The children, whose backs were covered in red, could not understand why Demir was not whipped… And this painful work continued until noon...
