Ken’s POV (12 yrs. and 3 weeks old)
“Arcane Magic: Teleportation.”
It’s early in the morning but me and my two friends are all ready for the day, -it’s Monday by the way-, using my magic we arrive at the outskirts of the field by the trees, walking towards the field we see our other companions, masters, and the new recruits.
“Good morning masters.” The three of us simultaneously said.
“Good morning.” said Master Klein.
“…” Master Ulysses just gave us a nod and looked back at the lined up students.
“You guys are pretty cheerful today, aren’t you, now off you go and join them on the line up.” said Master Lana. The three of us nodded and walked towards the line, it’s very long now, hehe, I think we might need to divide it into two soon. But right now, game face, ON.
Third Person’s POV
“Alright, good morning to you all, my name is Klein Yvel, I will be your master/ teacher specializing on magic and sorcery.” said Klein as he addressed the teens in front of him, sweeping his gaze in the process of talking, before settling in front of him and over their heads.
“My name is Ulysses Neas, I will be your master/ teacher in Combat Prowess and assassination.” said Ulysses staring blankly at the eleven.
“My name is Lana Del, I will be your master/ teacher in Supporting and Initiation.” said Lana while smiling at the eleven. The three masters turned to look at the four new members of their class at their left.
Although the three had conflicting expressions -albeit handsome and beautiful-, they somehow made their ruling over the village residents work.
“We will be introducing to you the training regime you will be undergoing while you’re under our watch, Ulysses please give them each their schedule.” said Klein, Ulysses walked in front of the four, produced a paper out of thin air giving each one of them their own copy, he then walked at the left side of Klein.
“If you have any questions regarding the training regime, please feel free to ask any of us.” said Lana, which was then without wasting a second, two of the new recruits raised their hands to ask a question, which was Icarus, and Princess Lang.
“Yes, your highness.” said Klein. Icarus lowered his right hand, waiting for his turn.
“What is this Magic Education in our schedule?” asked Princess Lang after quickly browsing through the schedule, as she thinks that this will be just a cheap attempt to impress people, especially like her, to attend this session,
A royal like her who was fortunate enough to receive the highest education in magic, surely this wouldn’t compare to their measly Magic Education.
“That your highness, will be the time for us to teach you stuff about magic and the laws regarding it.” explained Klein. The princess cannot help but roll her eyes inwardly at the lame excuse Klein made but nodded nonetheless. Klein ignored the slight mock on the princess’s nod.
“How about you Icarus, what is your question.” said Lana.
“What is Physical training?” Lana widened her eyes in surprise before returning to their normal smiling eyes and explained…
“Just like what the name says, you will be undergoing physical training in order to improve the overall strength of your bodies.” but was asked again.
“But we’re of powerful lineage, don’t we already have outstanding strength to begin with?” Icarus asked, finding it hilarious for magical beasts to undergo such training.
“Yes, you have a point, but, you’ll be surprised who’s the strongest one out of all of you in terms of brute strength.” said Lana, which perked Icarus’s interest and annoyance.
“Huh? Who is it? Tell Me.” asked Icarus in a demanding tone, Lana laughed at his antics and said.
“You’ll have to wait for the end of the month to know, for the three of us will be commencing a one day practical exercise for each one of you.” The four had questioning stares and expressions on their faces, which had gone unnoticed by Klein and explained…
“The practical exercise which was mentioned by your Master Lana, is a day for all of you eleven to show us your strength by displaying it on the field or by undergoing a duel. It’s written below your timetable.” The four’s reaction also didn’t go unnoticed by the people present on the field,
One had a happy face, the other a proud one, the other a bashful one, and the last just smiling, but there was a hidden tint of wickedness in them. Flin noticed that the other seven didn’t really had that much of an expression and so he asked in concern.
“Are you not scared?” Allen, who was beside him looked towards him and shook his head softly.
“Why not?” Flin asked again.
“Because, we have undergone this when we were still four.” Flin can’t help but widen his eyes and glance at the other six who were calmly standing, some of them noticed his gaze and smiled his way (the ones who noticed were Celine and Ken, Ken waved faintly).
He looked at the ground beneath his feet and felt embarrassed for a moment, the others who noticed didn’t exactly know why but returned to their own business. Flin clenched his fists, and looked forward with a determined glint.
As soon as the moment died down, Klein instructed the eleven students to form a formation of two lines with five people in it horizontally, and called Ken to lead their first class, physical and magic training.
Ken introduced and taught the four new members the exercises they will be doing, mainly on jogging, push-ups, squats, sit-ups, core exercises, and many more, not more than forty-five times for each exercise,
But only ten laps for jogging, the weights were not introduced at this day for Ken still has to record the times the four can handle on each exercises, and surprisingly, his expectations where exceeded.
-3 hours later-
“Excuse me, you’re names Celine right?” asked princess Lang.
“Yes your highness, do you need anything?” said Celine, flabbergasted and at the same time nervous as the princess was talking to her.
“I want to know why your friend, Ken, led the class earlier and not our teachers.” said Princess Lang thinking to herself that the physical and magic training didn’t really amount much, it didn’t even make her break a sweat. Celine exclaimed an ‘oh’ in surprise and explained.
“Ken is tasked to measure the laps, times, and amount each one of us can handle during both the workout and magic training -” Princess Lang raised an eyebrow at an unfamiliar word and interrupted. “What’s a workout?”
“Oh, that’s just a simple term for physical training, Ken invented it.” said Celine, the princess nodded and gestured for her to continue.
“Ken records the amount of repetition we can handle during our workout, and the amount of time we can use magic, which he will then send to all the three masters, the masters will then discuss and adjust accordingly the training we will get in order to not leave a person behind.” Celine said smiling at the princess.
“Is he the leader of this group?” -Lang-
“No, he is not, our leader is Allen, as he was appointed to, and he’s also very good at being the leader.” said Celine.
“Then what else does he do?” asked princess Lang.
“Pardon?” -Celine-
“I meant Ken.” -Princess Lang-
“Oh. He keeps record of the progress of all students, including himself, and reports them daily to the masters, except for weekends, other than that, after all of us had adapted to the training, we will take turns in leading the exercises every day.” said Celine, and smiled,
But turned bashful and apologizes to the princess if she had done anything wrong, the princess got startled in her deep thought and asked her why.
Celine states that the princess is frowning, the princess realizes her actions and shook her head a little and stated that she was only thinking deeply that’s why she was frowning.
Celine released a breath she didn’t know she was holding and calmed herself down, the princess thanked her and proceeded to the field at a location where everyone had gathered along with the three masters, right after the two girls arrived the three masters summoned two tables one for them and the other for the students where they will dine in for lunch.
