Cheat Awakening

As for why their training starts with running? That is because according to Aniue, In order for the foundation, of the body to get stronger, the first basic curriculum is to do a long-running exercise.

This running exercise. Although it's basic, it seems that the knights regard this fairly highly, so there are a lot of members who would do it even if it's not a training day. Myne even heard from a random knight that old retired knights even become addicted to it and early in the morning a lot of old uncles can seen running around the city.

Bang!

"Finally, after an entire f*cking hour," Myne yelled and collapsed at that spot and devoted himself to adjusting his breathing as he gasped for air.

"Nice work, for persevering until the end, Myne. I really didn't expect that you would last till the end."

Myne who was lying on the ground breathing heavily, heard Aniue's voice, he slowly opened his tired eyes and saw Aniue who had been running along with him and other knights come towards him with a smile on his face. He seemed to be subtly sweating, but his breath wasn't disordered at all, clearly, his stamina level was quite high.

By the way, most of the knights finished their running goal half an hour ago, only Myne who was the weakest among other knights physically, and Aniue who in order to support Myne was running in the entire training ground.

"Haa, haa... I feel my... own lack of... stamina..."

Myne said that while gasping and wanted to continue explaining that this is enough training for today but was quickly stopped by Aniue who already knew where it was going. After all, he had been hearing Myne's complaints for an entire hour.

Aniue folded his arms and started laughing loudly.

"How was it? Have you come to understand the meaning of proper training?"

".....Yes....." Myne said speechlessly, seeing Aniue's excited expression he already knew that today he was not going to return to his room on his own feet.

"Myne, remember you can do every possible thing without any skill or magic, but without a healthy and strong body you can do nothing but let it rot.

Since the problem of distance between the capital city and your home tome is gone, thanks to your wonderful Teleportation skill, you'll come here to learn daily and if you want to be absent then you should have a valid enough reason for that, and don't even think about trick me, you know very well that I have a secret little cute spy right beside you, who always has her eyes on you, so better be honest," Aniue said jokingly, and soon become serious again.

"By preparing your foundation as much as you can to a certain extent, you'll become extremely strong, and your mind and body will also build a perfect rhythm with each other after continuing training."

"Listen, it might be difficult, but you'll have to complete it without fail till the end. The next program is callisthenics, which is also an essential component in the important body-building. Now firmly come with us."

Saying that Aniue started walking toward the place where he looked over other knights training. But suddenly as if he remembered something he turned around and said a few words which wasn't pleasant for Myne.

"Aah, I forgot to say it, you can't relieve your fatigue with recovery magic, okay? It won't do you any good to you. It's important to boost your body's ability to heal yourself, after all."

This guy is definitely doing it for a purpose, otherwise, who is so cruel to a newbie?? If it wasn't for my level being pretty high, how can a normal lazy person like me even run for an entire hour?

Wait a minute don't tell me he is doing this to make his sweetheart happy. Yes, now this makes sense.

Sigh, a horny man can really do anything to make his way to a certain hole, Myne thought while shaking his head helplessly, although he know that he is getting used to achieving some ulterior purpose without his permission but this training is indeed necessary, and he has no other choice but to do it until he becomes powerful.

Then, while Myne was still lying on the ground like a wooden log and hadn't recovered one-third of his stamina, the callisthenics started, just as Aniue declared.

First, a few sets of exercise to stretch the body's muscles was carried out. After doing callisthenics with his legs spread while maintaining his breath at a fixed rate and exhaling, pairs were formed.

At a glance, it seems like a simple practice, but it's not that simple, it is difficult in a different meaning than the previous running exercise.

Thanks to the pain and fatigue, Myne seriously felt like fainting, it not for the fact that Myne once in a while used a little bit of Stamina Recovery Magic while Aniue was not paying attention to him, he might have already carried back to his room by some knights and become a laughing stock.

There is also a high possibility that by tomorrow morning he might have become more famous but this time in a negative way, which he doesn't want to see in any condition, he knows people like speaking ill about others more than anything else.

The calisthenics which can be said to be hell for poor Myne were conducted for about an hour like the running exercise.

"I'm going to die..."

Myne, who once again lay down on the ground in the 大 shape, let out a single sentence.

The stone-faced knight leader who heard Myne's casual mutter with a crying face nodded his head and called out to him with a friendly voice which was friendly enough that if children heard at night they defiantly pee in their pants.

"Lord Myne, we've been doing this for a long time. We're different from you who is experiencing this for the first time today. Rather, I think you are working hard even though it's your first time, not many people can handle this level of intense training on their first try. At the start, It took me 3 weeks before I could successfully last two hours.

But don't worry you will soon get used to it, just do it continuously."

Is this guy praising me? If so then he should stop it now, otherwise with the facial expression he has and his heavy voice, it has the opposite effect on me, Myne thought with a dumbfounded look, and decided to ignore this guy's motivational speech.

"Thank you... Ahm, for comforting me? I am now more energetic because of you," Myne said with a fake smile while panting heavily, and closing his eyes, he wasn't in the mood to hear this guy's nonsense.

"Yosh, Myne, come here, don't be so lazy ass. From now on, it is your personal training time," Aniue yells excitedly.

"Bastard, don't let me take a rest," Myne mutters annoyingly and tiredly walks toward Aniue who without saying anything takes him to the edge of the training ground.

"Take this..."

Aniue said and handed Myne the wooden dagger they used in the previous mock battle, which ended up with Myne being ( fake ) knocked out after taking a strong attack.

Mn? Are we having another mock battle?? Myne thought while staring at the wooden dagger in his hand confusedly and looked at Aniue waiting for his explanation.

"I heard from Sylphy that you wanted to be a mage, right? So do you know what is biggest weakness of any mage is?" Aniue asked calmly, not in a hurry to finish their training and quickly returned to his room to get a special reward promised by a certain cat girl.

"Close combat, and the limited amount of magic energy?" Myne replied with a raised eyebrow.

"Exactly, although Mage can do many things and can kill a dozen or so people with a single attack, but if the enemy gets close to them then they can do nothing other than watch their upcoming death. Since you want to be a mage then using a dagger as a secondary weapon is a perfect solution to your this weakness."

"Now I'll show you a few dagger styles, so look closely. Once you've become familiar with it, I'll assign a guy who specialises in daggers, but let me first show you examples."

Saying that Aniue showed Myne a few styles of using the dagger for a while, which were very marvellous for Myne.

Hehe Elder Brother looks like a monkey who is jumping around with a small wooden stick in his hand, Myne thought with a smile, but after feeling Aniue's deadly gaze he quickly became serious.

After doing about ten styles, Aniue stopped and spoke with a deadpan expression, "Try doing the same thing."
