Chapter 9
Starting the training.
After collapsing on the ground for the second time, Siegfried realized that this was going to be even harder than He thought.
'This body is in even worse shape than I originally thought. I'm going to need something extra...'
"Milord!" The butler came running to his side.
"I'm fine, Albert." He brushed off the other man's concerns.
"Milord, why are you suddenly doing this? If you want to do some moderate exercise I could call Ser Douglas for some lessons."
"I'm going to rest here for a bit, bring me something to write on. I need to make a list." Siegfried told the buttler.
He then sat crosslegged next to the shade of a nearby tree and started to collect and circulate natural energy through his body.
The combination of harsh exercise and energy circulation was the standard body cultivation method in his era and it was very effective.
He also made sure to mix in some of the pure yang energy that came from the egg.
Even since He woke up in this new body, the mysterious egg has been going through some changes. While it used to be completely inert, now it keeps emitting powerful energy. The red lines across its surface are also a lot more pronounced.
'Did my dead trigger this change?.... I still don't know much about this egg. But there are no doubts of one thing, the egg is the only reason for me to still be in this world.'
While Siegfried cultivated, the butler came back with some writing tools.
"Milord, I brought what you requested."
Siegfried opened his eyes.
"Give it here."
He took the paper and quill and started writing a list of materials. Once He was done, He handed it back to the butler.
"Can you get me the items on that list?"
Albert read the list with the utmost care, not wanting to miss a detail.
"Some of these ingredients are a bit rare, but we can probably have them all in a short time. If I may, what are these for? I recognize some ingredients used in healing balms. Is Milord not feeling well?"
"Don't worry about small things, just get me the items as soon as possible."
Sigfried stood back up. Feeling a bit more refreshed after circulating elemental energy through his body.
"I'm going to continue now. Oh, before I forget. Go talk with the kitchen personnel to reduce those ridiculous rations. I won't be needing that much food from now on."
Siegfried then resumed his running exersice.
The Buttler was left there, looking at his young lord with a baffled expression.
"What happened to you, Milord?..."
-------------------------------------
After his daily exercises were done and He had something to eat, Siegfried retired to his bedroom to cultivate some more.
He would need to do this every night in order to strengthen his body. As long as He enters a deep cultivation state, his mind is also able to rest, so the need for sleep is very minimal.
He went into his soul realm, wich was a metaphysical representation of his own soul. At the moment it was quite empty since his body hasn't started to accumulate natural energy yet.
The first state of cultivation is focusing on improving his muscles and bones by letting them absorb as much natural energy as possible.
The only thing at the moment inside his mindscape was that egg, just sitting in the middle of his soul, emitting great amounts of yang energy in a pulsating manner. I
"It looks like it's breathing." He observed.
-----------------------------------
The next day, He has woken again in a very pleasant way, this time by Mari, the younger maid.
"Good morning, Milord." She gave a curtsey.
"Please, do not forget that today is your lesson with Master Augustus. The lesson will take place after breakfast at his studio."
'Right...I almost forgot about that. Augustus is the Magus that works for my family and He has been giving me weekly lessons for like two years already.'
-----------------------------------------
Even before He entered the studio, Siegfried could feel the strong presence of the man inside.
'In this new era, the Official Magus was the authority when it came to martial power. Even a rank 2 Magus like Augustus would be shown as much respect as a mid-tier noble.'
He knocked on the door.
"Come in."
He opened the door and went inside.
The studio didn't seem too big, but the space was used efficiently. There were bookshelves all around the room, a big desk beneath the window, and a separate table with some strange instruments on it.
"Take a sea, Siegfried."
Unlike the servants of the manor, Augustus could casually address him and his father with no repercussions, given his status as Magus.
After sitting down in front of the desk. Augustus gave Siegfried a calculative glance.
"I'm glad to see you recovered. That little adventure to the Red Forest was quite a reckless endeavor. Your father was not happy to hear about it. But... let's move on, we have a lesson to complete. Let's see..."
Augustus took a book from a pile on his desk and opened it up.
He started to flip pages until He found what He was looking for.
"Why don't we start at something more fun today."
He passed the open book to Siegfried.
"Rank zero spells?" Siegfried read the title of the chapter.
"Right. We spent the last year studying the story and theory of modern magic. I think is time for some practical stuff. Unless you don't feel ready."
"No. I'm definitely ready. Let's give it a go!" Said Siegfried with enthusiasm at the idea. He has been wanting to learn more about this magic that people were using now.
