"111...112.....113" I counted in series as this training required doing all of it in A Stretch.
I Have Successfully completed The 500 Laps run in 3 hours and now its almost evening.....
Without even the slightest rest....
I started the push-ups immediately.
I have done this 6 times now each with different counts:36,42,51,70,74 and now I had a breakthrough to 120..
"12..0....Ughhh....I'm really beat" I complained out...It felt like my insides were burning in scorching flames as I let out Hard breathe of Fatigue.
"Puhahahaha.....I must say,You really are a genius " The Hell,Is Master mocking me right now,I mean,Any body could easily reach 200 so why???
"You're not seeing the Bigger picture are you?"
"What do you mean by that"
"Its simple I called you a genius because nobody can build up that much Fatigue and Still be standing With Zero Mana Circulating inside them"
"What do you mean,Master?"
"it's exactly what I mean....First you need to become one with the flow of Mana in the Surrounding Area.....By doing that..You will be Able to balance the Surrounding Atmosphere to a much better condition for working out,I call it... RESONANCE! ."
Is that what you meant by circulating Mana?!
No,You're a genius...But you cant do that now...That will be our focus during the third training...For now....I wand you to visualize in your head,This place as Lake of water with endless horizons..."
"And how do I do that?"
"Its simple...Its the same thing you do when you're thinking of someome or something"
"I don't know what you're getting at but I will give it a try..." My Brief conversation with Master resulted in me trying to see My Surrounding as A Lake...
To do this,I need to Focus...If he has that much hope in me...Then I guess I might as well Hope on his teachings....
I Automatically turned off All my senses and Focused only on visualing A Lake.....This happens to me Every time I'm thinking of Helen or the Others back at home....
<\>Visualize it...A....A..Lake<\> I said in my thoughts as I suddenly felt myself being immersed in Water,But funny enough,I wasn't drowning or Choking...I guess it's Just My Senses After all...
I Felt A huge Fluctuation of Mana Around Me as I was still in the Push-up position...
I immediately started Doing it all over again from One and I was surprisingly Fast and Stready....
Ikept a steady Breathing this time around as swiftly counted through Seconds Turning to Minutes....
And in exactly 14 Minutes I reached the 1000 Push-up Mark without rest.....And for some reason which I guess is because of the'Becoming One with My Surrounding' I didn't feel much Fatigue and I immediately requested to Start the Next exercise Immediately.
★★★
I Just Finished All the Workout exercises Master told me to do.....
I'm very exhausted right now,But what can I say...
I can't be devoid of Motivation now....
I'm going to make up for al the time I was in the Training center with now.
I don't know how long it will last this time around.....But no matter how long it takes...I'm going to get stronger.
"Now that Marks the ending of the first phase.....
Take a rest,We'll Continue in The Second Phase In three Hours....Basically in mid-afternoon.
Two Days Ago in Varscht,The Royal Capital and Residence of The Royal Family in Estonia.
Hermes Razenshfeiht POV
It was a Week's Worth of Journey to get here by Sea.....
The Frongnin Sea that Borders Between Wesron and Estonia...A very vast sea considered the Largest in the World.
We Arrived at the Royal Capital of Estonia....Varscht by the The Carriages that has being sent by King Lyris Frongninson,The 29th King of Estonia.
I heard he's very shrewd when handling Matters....
We reached a stop and for some reason I was nervous....
Not nervous because I was going to meet a fellow king,But Nervous because the Matters to discuss were about the Demons who've been inactive for 30 years now.
Whenever I get nervous, I rack my hair.
I did it ... I raked my Blue Hair that was tied to the Back in a pony tail....
I was still in my Mid 30's and thus...
I'm the Youngest of the Supreme Family to ever be crowned king at the young Age of Nineteen....When my Father died in battle,I was burdened with the responsibility of Raising a Family and Taking Imperial Affairs into My Hands.....
We Arrived at the Royal Palace and Immediately,Me and the 5 High Ranking knights that came with me Headed in...
We were taken directly to the Council Chambers....
The Minister of the Royal Capital were already seated but as soon as I entered...
They caught hold of my strong presence and immediately Greeted Me....Well I'm an Omniscient After all...Hehe...
"You've Come,King Hermes." The King,Lyris and Welcomed me....I heard his wife passed Three years ago because of the same matter at hand...Active Demonoids.
"Greeting King Lyris,Its to my up most Pleasure to Be here..." I bowed slightly.
The King,Lyris had Waning Grey hair,And Despite Being At the Old Age of 60's,He still Had the Body and Aura of a knight.....In Which Case...He's a Battle-Mage..A Special Class of combining Both knight and Mage Skills To Form A Flawless Weapon of Man,Battle-Mage,He's one of the Skilled Rarities.
"Have a Seat lets discuss" One of the Ministers Said,He had White and a lanky body and lacked the basic neccesities of a Knight or Mage,No Aura at all...
But at a Glance,You could tell through that Cold Green Eyes of His,You could tell he was immensely Smart and Experienced in Matters regarding war...That must be his Area of Specialty.
★★★
The Meeting was Concluded And we headed to the Chambers that had been Arranged for Us to Stay.
We were going to depart the Next Day.
Present Day....Imperial Palace and Supreme Family Province in Wersron.
"And that's all...." Imperial Lord El-Scanel Said regarding the details of the meeting I just gave Them.....The Same set of People that were present during the Last Council Meeting.
The Details were that in 2 years time one of the Seven Commanders of the Four Demon Kings would attack Wesron in other to Retrieve A Rune Stone that we Collected in Battle 30 years Ago....
It would help the Revive Most of their Forces But to Limits ....
They Can't Revive The Demon god,But it was still an Advantage for them if they revived their Fallen Forces though not all.
"We will have to prepare for the war...It was a good thing King Lyris Shared this Valuable Information with us...." Lord Regis said
"Yeah,And From what he said.....They Will Probably Pass through The Fallen Continent,Nordstrom!" I Concluded .
Ivar POV
The Second Training Will now start.....
You will Swing this Hefty Sword Foward for Ten-Thousand Times..." Master said
They he goes again,The Difficulty is Gradually increasing and Will continue up to a Seventh Stage....This Truly is....
HELL!!!
