NOVEL NEXT Chapter 849
I asked Nicholas about training
Well, there was a part of me that did want to improve to that level. Even though it hardly looked possible.
I was capable of defeating orcs now. But the way that Nicholas and Mr. Ekenhart moved looked like something only special people could do.
“Not at all. I saw just now that you have already grown tremendously. It shows how much you have trained.”
“As I don’t have a talent for it, I have to train desperately to make up for that…”
“Even so. That is not something that just anyone can do. That is a talent in itself.”
Really? In general, I was just following Mr. Ekenhart’s instruction. I had very little opinions of my own on that front.
I just repeated it diligently… But I suppose they found that commendable.
It was something that could only be done with the help of herbs…so it was taxing on my body.
“That amount… Even with your herbs, it would be difficult to continue it.”“Well, Tilura does the same training?”
“Lady Tilura’s is slightly less harsh. But she also sees you as an example.”
“By the way, Phillip told me that you were the one who decided what we did for training?”
“Oh, you heard that? Yes, I did. His Grace gave me that honor.”
“When I first started learning, it seemed like Mr. Ekenhart was deciding on the spot. So I didn’t realize that it was you…”
“Oh, that is when it was decided. Don’t you remember that I was talking to him before your training?”
“Ah…perhaps…”
“Yes. And while he was teaching you, I was sending him signals.”
I had no idea…
Indeed, I remember going out into the garden, feeling quite nervous, and seeing Nicholas drinking tea at the table.
“I see… So that is what Phillip was talking about. Well, I now know how harsh Mr. Ekenhart’s training is. And so I am glad that it was you instead.”
“Hmm. Not necessarily. While Phillip and the others always say that they do not want to remember their training, I thought it was quite satisfying. In any case, I don’t think there is as big a difference as you might think. I did wonder if it was too harsh, but then I saw you making the herbs, and decided that it would be fine. And it looks like I was right.”
“Oh…is that so…”
Apparently, it was not that different from their early training.
Even though the actual contents would be quite different, as they were training to guard people.
As for the fact that it was not Mr. Ekenhart who decided…
I probably should not tell Tilura. Especially when you consider the fact that my herbs were part of the reason it was so hard.
And in the end, Nicholas had seen that I was able to do it, and how the herbs made it efficient. He assured me now that as long as I continued, I would be able to move like him.
Would I really be able to? I could not help but wonder as I continued my swings once again.
When I was finished, I wiped off the sweat and was about to go to the tent, when Nicholas said something to me…
