Chapitre 3: [Arc 1]Chapter 2
BEEP... BEEP BEEP... BEEP... CLICK!
"Ugh...", Garnet moaned as he shook off the remnants of his sleep away.
He opened his eyes to see that his twin sister was hugging him while still sleeping. Wanting more of her warmth, he moved closer towards Ruby and hugged her more tightly while closing his eyes.
RUFFLE RUFFLE
Garnet opened his eyes once again, only to see that Ruby was ruffling his hair, as she stared at him directly with her silver-eyes.
"Awake?", Ruby questioned Garnet.
"Mhm.", Garnet nodded.
Soon after, they both exited their room as they headed towards the bathroom. Garnet let Ruby go in first, then he leaned on the wall nearby and took out his scroll to play a game, however before he could something happened.
[Alert! Alert! Daily Quest! Alert! Alert!], The screen stated towards Garnet.
Garnet didn't know how to check his quests so he simply thought 'Quests' in his head.
[Daily Quest: Training Regimen!
Information: Do 0/100 push-ups, 0/100 sit-ups, 0/100 squats and 100KM running.
Reward: 15 Free Points, 500 Lien, Random Skill]
When Garnet saw this, he looked at it deadpanned with drips of sweat running down his forehead because he hadn't exercised that much in a long time. Though, the main part that he'll have trouble with was probably the 100KM running.
GACHING!
Ruby finally left the bathroom, as Garnet entered the bathroom looking more deadpanned than normal.
After Garnet finished cleaning himself up, he exited the bathroom and headed towards the dining room.
'Ugh... This feels so awkward... I haven't been to the dining room in ages.', Garnet thought as he hesitatingly saw everyone sit down in their chairs.
When everyone noticed Garnet they all slightly smiled, and seeing this Garnet turned around to escape. However, before he could Yang grabbed him by the arm and forced him to sit down on a nearby chair.
When breakfast arrived he saw that everyone was eating normally, so he nervously ate along with them while also not noticing the warm stares they were giving him.
After they finished eating breakfast, he noticed that Taiyang wanted to say something but didn't.
"Hmm?", Garnet directed his questioning sounds towards Taiyang.
"So when are we going to train?", He asked Garnet who looked at him with sparkling eyes.
"After I finish my [Daily Quest].", When Taiyang heard this he had a questioning stare.
"I got a [Daily Quest] which makes me exercise in exchange for some rewards and Lien.", Garnet also inwardly added on 'I wonder if Yang would also get the rewards, too bad I already disbanded the [Party]
"That so?", He asked unsure to which Garnet just nodded.
Garnet got off his chair and headed outside. First things first, He dropped down onto the ground and continuously did 100 push-ups. He then took a few minutes break, and then did 100 sit-ups along with 100 squats.
Eventually, he stopped dead in his tracks to take a longer break and while he was in his break Ruby approached him.
"So, how do you like being outside again?", Ruby asked while smiling which contrasted Garnet's regular deadpanned face.
"Bright.", He responded with one word as he huffed in a lot of air.
"Do you like it?", Ruby asked not fazed by Garnet's behaviour.
"Probably.", He once again responded.
"I see. I see.", Ruby nodded her head as she headed back inside to Yang.
Soon after, Garnet began his 100KM run which basically was a death sentence to Garnet.
After an hour in, he had finished 50KM and was still sprinting - although he did look like a zombie while doing it - however unknown to him, his family was watching him exercise. After another 2 hours later he had finished his [Daily Quest] while dropping dead onto the ground.
[DING! DING! Daily Quest: Training Regimen Completed!]
[Rewards obtained: 15 Free Points, 500 Lien, Katana Mastery Lv.1]
When Garnet saw this he already knew what to think.
'Well, at least I know what to train.'
Another tens of minutes later, he stopped resting and headed towards Taiyang.
"Ready.", Garnet said to Taiyang who then brought him to the garden.
"First things first, Garn. You need to know how to suppress and contain your [Aura].", Taiyang started off with which when made Garnet nod.
"To suppress your [Aura] you should first try to mentally tap into your [Aura] and from there; command it."
Garnet did as he said, however when he tried to command his [Aura] even more [Aura] began to leak.
"Tch.", Garnet clicked his tongue in frustration and tried again.
Seeing that his [Aura] simply refuses to obey his will, Garnet forced his [Aura] into submission and therefore gained the ability to command it.
[DING! DING! Skill: Aura Manipulation Lv.1 has been obtained!]
Seeing that he head mastered it, Garnet relaxed his stature to conserve more energy.
"Great job, Garn!", Taiyang praised Garnet which made him smile slightly.
"Now then, I guess you should learn how to make an [Aura Barrier].", Taiyang mumbled aloud.
"To make an [Aura Barrier] you first have to compress your [Aura] and then spread it throughout your body. Then, once it is fully around your body try to keep it as long as possible.", Taiyang explained.
Garnet nodded and then proceeded to do as told. Garnet compressed the [Aura] he had beat into submission, then he spreaded it around his body which took a whole hour to complete fully. Garnet stayed like this for around 10 minutes, but eventually his whole body lost all it's energy for some reason.
"Huh?", Garnet donned a dumbfounded expression as he felt himself drop to the ground.
Seeing his expression Taiyang chuckled.
"You see, [Aura] is the manifestation of our souls and hence it is directly linked towards our strength and stamina.", Taiyang stopped explaining as he saw his child began to doze off to sleep.
Taiyang wryly smiled and picked Garnet up, then he headed towards his room and laid him down on the bed while proceeding to exit the room to train both Ruby and Yang.
[DING! DING! Skill: Aura Manipulation Lv.2 obtained!]
[DING! DING! Skill: Aura Barrier Lv.1 obtained!]
Garnet, in the depths of his sleep saw this and had one last thought.
'Getting stronger is gonna be a cinch.'
