Chapitre 16: Knight Training

[Next Day]

I woke up at mother's side when the sun hadn't yet come out and began to put on my armor to set out for the knight's camp.

As expected, I couldn't sleep with the knight general. because just as I was lying on the bed with Naesala, my mother burst through the door.

She didn't say anything but simply came to my side, took me in her arms and returned to the castle. She laid me down on our bed and then cuddled me to sleep.

[Arben Echad] (Knight Camp)

{A/N:I forgot to post the image of the knight camp here it is.}

After walking for about half an hour, I reached the knight's camp. After nodding to the knight, I made my way to the training grounds and saw all the apprentice knights standing in a line, fully armored, waiting for Naesala.

I joined them and waited for Naesala. It wasn't long before she came out of her tower with her golden-red armor and great sword on her back.

[GREAT SWORD IMAGE]

"Today's training will be slightly different as we have a prince with us," she said, as she glanced at me.

"Like always, you will start running around the camp to warm up your bodies before moving on to sword practice. But while running,if the prince can't keep up as you run, you leave him behind and keep running until only one of you is left standing at the end. As a reward, the one who is standing will replace the prince and be trained by me instead of the prince."

Naesala said with a slight smile on her lips as the apprentice knights began to cheer, looking excited to train directly with the knight general.

"It's good that you're excited, because if it's the prince that remains standing at the end of the run, your training will be doubled for the next decade."

She said it with a wide grin on her face. But that didn't bring the knights' morale. They thought that they were going up against a mere child and continued to talk excitedly about which one of them would be trained by the knight general.

While they were talking, I began to inhale and exhale deeply to get my breathing into rhythm and jumped up and down in my place to warm up my body.

My actions drew Naesala's attention to me. She nodded her head in approval then looked angrily at the knights while shaking her head.

In the past, she would expel those knights for forgetting their duties. But she can't do that now because our numbers are too low.

It has even gotten to the point where she, the knight general, trains them herself instead of the knight captains because of a lack of manpower.

Knight captains are patrolling the elven territory day and night, while she stays in the city to train apprentice knights and protect the city.

After a while, when she thought she had given them enough time as this would be a long and hard run as a powerful and experienced knight, she knew how powerful I am. She can sense it, just like I can sense how powerful she is.

She unsheathed the great sword on her back and stabbed the ground with such force that it sounded like an explosion. The ground cracked like a spider's web as the entire knight's camp shook.

The moment the shaking stopped, I dashed forward at full speed, breaking the ground beneath me.

I didn't want to waste time running with the knights and start my training with her at once because I was the first in line. The other knights had to keep up with me.

If I outran them by two laps around the camp, they would be eliminated.

[half an hour later]

All of the knights lie on the training ground, exhausted from having run at full speed for half an hour. I stand in front of Naesala with my boots destroyed..

Naesala looked at me, her eyes showing affection for a split second, then turned her attention to the knights on the ground and took a deep breath, causing me to put my hands on my ears and bend my knees to brace myself for what is to come.

"GET UP NOW, YOU WORTHLESS FLESH BAGS! YOU ARE NOT HERE TO SLEEP!"

She shouted at them with such force that she created shockwaves that stunned all of the knights. Even some of the weak knights who fell down started to foam in their mouths.

Except for those who have fainted, the others get up after their shock and line up in front of her.

"''Sigh', wake up the sleeping beauties and tell them that because they are slacking off from training, they won't be getting any meals today. Now proceed with your training as usual, your punishment starts tomorrow."

Naesala said, then she nodded to me and signaled for me to follow her.

"Are you done?" I asked her, meaning if she was done with all the tests and wasting my time.

"Hmmm," she nodded slightly, understanding what I had asked her.

She led me to her private training grounds right behind her tower. It was nothing fancy, as one would expect from her considering her rank, but it was simply a garden with plenty of space. She had all sorts of weapons: swords, greatswords, maces, axes, spears, bo staff, rapiers, warhammers and even a whip.

"Look at the weapons, little prince. Choose one you like and try it out to see if you are comfortable using it. Then we can form more effective training based on the weapon you have chosen."

The most comfortable weapon for me was my own body, but I wanted to see how different it would be to fight with a weapon instead of using my body.

So I went to the weapons, picked them up and swung them a few times. After testing all the weapons, I didn't feel anything different all of them felt the same.

"I will learn all of them."

I'll learn them all, just in case I ever need a weapon. I grabbed the sword and walked to the center of the garden.

"If you focus on more than one weapon, it will greatly hinder your progress and waste both your time and mine, little prince. Just choose one of them so we can start training."

"No."

"Fine, it looks like I'll have to 'teach' you all of the weapons,"

she said as she became a blur and lunched towards me. I caught a glimpse of her, but my brain couldn't react in time, while my body did react instinctively.

I took a step back and raised my arms to protect my face. But I was too late, because she was faster. While I was raising my arms, she hit me in the face, sending me flying into the wall and crashing into the wall.

I shook my head and pushed myself out of the wall. When I tasted the iron in my mouth, I touched my lips with my finger and saw my blood.

'Ptooey,' I spat out the remaining blood in my mouth and moved towards Naesala, but right after the first step, I groaned.

'Ugh,' my body ached... I was in pain. This has never happened to me before, neither in my last life nor in this one. This is the first time I've ever felt pain.

It was exhilarating. My heart raced, my blood started to get warmer, and my mind felt refreshed. The world gained more color. Ahhh, such a wonderful feeling.

With a wide grin on my face, I rushed towards Naesala.
