บท 132: Master & Apprentice

December was usually a fast month, mainly because it was the holiday season and the beginning of winter, but for Bel Selvarum the days became even faster because of training.

Every day he would wake up, train, get exhausted, break for lunch, train again, and then have no energy left for anything.

But he began to appreciate every second of those days because Victor was a demanding mentor and his lessons were invaluable.

One day, Bel was drenched in sweat, every muscle in his body aching, while Victor didn't seem to be panting at all.

"That's enough for today," Victor said, putting down his practice sword.

"I can keep going, Master!" Bel exclaimed, holding the sword with both hands.

Victor just looked back and said:

"Rest is also part of training. Respect your own body's limits, otherwise you might get sick."
