Chapter 33: First Day Training Part One
I woke up the next morning with birds chirping outside the window next to my bed. Emily seemed to have already gotten up since she was no longer next to me. On the floor, Alissa was sprawled out in a very unladylike position with her nightshirt up around her waist exposing her blue panties for all to see and with her mouth wide open snoring away. Every once and a while you could hear her giggling in her sleep calling my name which made me feel a little uncomfortable, especially with the stream of drool dripping down her chin. But one thing was for sure, her hair was going to be a pain to straighten out with how messed up it was.
Stretching my arms out in front of me and yawning. I knew it was time to get up. The morning sun had just rose and it was going to be the first day I began training. I was actually very excited about training today. So much so that I had actually set out the set of armor I bought the day before ahead of time in order to be prepared.
I climbed out of bed and walked over to Alissa who was still sound asleep and gently, in order to not wake her up, fixed her nightshirt so she could have at least a little bit of decency. After which I covered her with her blankets and went to go get changed.
I left the mansion and stood on the front steps and took in a breath of the cool morning air. It was still summer and the days were hot but the mornings were still very cool. I decided before breakfast I would go out for a run. It was one of my routines back on Earth. I would run for about an hour every morning in order to stay in shape. After which, I would eat a good breakfast, and then wash up a bit before heading to school. You would think that someone who did nothing half the time but play otome games and read manga, that I would not do such things as exercise first thing in the morning but I did.
I ran towards the training grounds according to my memory. The sky above was clear except for the double moons that could be seen off in the distance. The sky had a purplish hue, making for a pretty sight if I did not say so myself.
As I got closer to the training grounds I could already hear the clashing of swords and Cedric's clear voice as he yelled out drill commands. "What are you doing! Put more strength into your slash!"contemporary romance
By the time I reached the training field, there were already about ten people there including Cedric. I slowed my pace and ran up next to Cedric. "Good morning dad." I said with a smile while giving a polite bow.
"Oh! Rei, good morning. Have you come out to train?" Cedric asked, his eyes going from being cold to soft instantly after seeing me.
"Mhm! I just woke up so I came out to do my morning run, then eat breakfast. I did not expect you to be up so early." I replied. At that time a young man came walking over to us.
"Young Miss, he normally does not get up this early but he knew you were going to be training today so he dragged all the disciples who lived in the residents here to train before the sun even came up!" A young man around seventeen years of age said. He looked exhausted as if he had not slept much.
But his words made me giggle since I knew Cedric was excited about my training with him today. He kept asking me what time I would be getting up in the morning all the way up until I entered my room. "What time did he wake you up?"
"Young Miss we have been out here for almost four hours now!" The young man said disgruntledly.
"Hey! Since you have the energy to complain why not do another one hundred sets!?" I looked up at Cedric who had just spoke. His ears were a tinge red so my guess was the young man's words were embarrassing him.
"Master, come on! I haven't even slept for more than four hours!" The man whined and gave an aggrieved expression.
"Hehe..." I couldn't help but smile. I could tell the relationship with these disciples and Cedric was really good.
"Alright, alright, since Rei is smiling I will let you off. Go wash up and eat something." Cedric said, waving his hands for the disciples to leave. He then turned to me and smiled. "Rei, while there is some time, spar with me a little I want to test your skills."
"Okay, but be forewarned, I am not as good as Able made me out to be..." I was never one to put myself up high on a pedestal, so I did not want Cedric to think too much when it came to my abilities. But I would at least give my all.
"That's fine. It will allow me to at least get a good grasp of your abilities, so I know where to begin with your training. How's your magic?" Cedric asked.
"I just learned how to use magic recently so I am not too sure. I have yet to have a lesson with Master Felix." I answered. I was actually wondering when Master Felix was going to show up. He did say he would come find me but I did not know when.
"Alright then let's start off with a simple spar with no magic. After that,we will do one with magic to see how well you do."
