《I should have been the Hero instead》Arc 1 ch 2 :Tortu-Training time!
Advertisement
On this beautiful sunny day everyone inside Valenston estate was having a good day,aside from one particular young master.
“KEEP RUNNING YOU WORTHLESS PIECE OF FLESH!!! HOW DO YOU EXPECT TO BECOME A KNIGHT IF YOU CANT EVEN RUN THIS MUCH!!!!”
Yes you guessed right. That particular young master is our beloved mc William Valenston.Who is currently being trained cruellyhe by a Vicous ogre pretending to be a sword instructor.
POV William Valenston
Oh shit oh shit oh shittttttt. What the hell, I am the young master! How dare he release dogs on me!
“Rei!!! When my father learns about this he will have your head!!!”
Then I saw a wicked grin on his suddenly very frightening face I realized the cold , harsh truth.My father knows of this already.Rei opened his mouth and laughed heartily while I kept running Why am I in this situation you ask?well my cruel instructor ordered me to run 20 laps on our frontyard which equals to 1km each lap.Afte the fifth lap I coudn’t go on and threw myself to te ground. He simply came over me and ordered me to get up which I said I coudn’t. He gaved me a nod and went to the kennels coming back with three hounds. Before I could even ask whats going on he unleashed them on me.The dogs aren’t even trying to catch me but it still is scary.
After a long hour of getting scared shitless and exhaustion I somehow managed to finish 20 laps.Rei took the reins of the dogs and led them back to the kennels.
While I was focused on trying to catch my breath and violenty coughing Nicole came to me and offered a genuine smile along with a towel and sliced oranges.She started to wipe my sweet and patted my head affectionately.

“Good work Young master, I was sure you would be thirsty so I bringed you fresh oranges and water.”
I muttered a quite thanks and drank some water. After some silence I decided to speak the thing that was occupying my mind the most
“Do you really think my father will be proud of me ? I was barely able to complete 20 laps and that was thanks to me getting scared of the dogs.”She looked at me for a few seconds with an emotion I couldn’t comprehend and then gave me one of her best smiles and said
“I am sure he will, you are doing your best afterall aren’t you?”
Somehow her words erased all my doubts from my mind.
After our small talk she left to do her other duties.
Rei appeared not long after with one wooden training sword.And motioned me to come over with his hand. Since ı learnt my lesson I obeyed without further ado.
He looked over me like a predetor would to it sprey. A moment of awkward silence later he ruffled my hair and gave me a praise.Then suddenly his look turned serious.
“I am training you to become a Knight. And as a Knight you need High endurance to last long in battles and take hits. And powerfull enough to wear you armor like its made of feathers and what I will train you is to exactly become like that”
“But what about sword training?”
He looked at me with an amused look and said
“How do you expect to swing a sword if you can’t move around with your armor?”
Well that certainly makes sense.
Then he started to talk with even more amused expression in his eyes. Somehow I can feel that I won’t like whats coming next.

“And to make your endurance higher I will attack you with this sword and you will do your best to Dodge.”He finished with a barely contained laugh.
“What!!! Hey stop sto- agh what the he-aghhh mast-“
“Stop whining and start dodging”
2 hours of tortu- ehem training later…
Yeah sky sure looks quite fascinating from this perspective don’t you think so too Mr.Ghost?
Wait…Ghost? Am I DEAD! No no no nooooo I am too young to die !
-SPLASH-
I woke up battered and bruised with cold water splashed over my face to see a grinning Rei.
“Master Rei can I ask a question?”
“Sure ask away”
“So why are we training anyways ?I didn’t even received my crest yet so this wouldn’t add anything to my stats”
“You are wrong Will, when you receive you crest your starting stats will be according to your bodies condition along with your potential of growth.For example when you train your body like I did for 2 full years with a growth rate of average then your starting stats for endurance and power will be along the line of 35 to 45 which means the stat cap of average being 150 yours will be 35+150 which is 185. With above average gaining +3 sp to the classes main stats you will reach your full potential at level 50. You will have the same power with a person that has 10 starting points and is 50 level when you are still near 40.Do you understand now?”
“Yes master.But when will I learn how to wield a sword?”
He gave me a small chuckle and said
“When you are ready.”

Carus - Libertas
participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge and also having a go at NaNoWriMo this November. This was a first draft published as it was written for Nanowrimo November 2020. A little rough around the edges, I hope to come back and edit at some point, and then continue the story on. In the grand scheme of things Elias was nothing special. Which was why he was surprised by a random company on a new colony planet buying out his contract. That was the problem with the large companies that ruled the colonies, once they owned your contract, they owned you. Imagine the greater surprise when he learnt that the new company held the promise of freedom. Not from the constant battle against the Swarm that were also trying to claim the colony planets for their own. Nor from the Crust, the mysterious substance that covered the same planets and held the resources they all fought for. No, the freedom from being oppressed by those with more power and to finally decide where to go and where to set down roots and call home.
