Taking light breaks can't neccesarily be considered as a waste of time if well organized of course, it is a good way to regain energy and it would furthermore increase the overall morale of the Guards.

After that meal, 4 more hours of continuous lighter exercise followed which were mandatory to developing every muscle needed when it comes to wielding a Sword against an enemy.

Through these exercises however, none will be handling an actual Iron Sword. These exercises are a bit different come to think of it, how?

Well for example they would exercise their overall strength with training methods such as carrying boulders for 100 yards back and forth with a short break in between.

Push ups had to be done as well of course, it is a good way to build their arms, chest and shoulders which inevitably leads to a stronger figure, harder to shame in battle. Under an hour each and every Guard has to finish doing 300 Push ups, hard indeed but Grinders see results.

They can choose how to manage time through push ups but if one fails to do it, he or she is held responsible for the failure and the last meal would be automatically skipped and to make it worse, the one who failed will need to do push ups while the others eat. These are all baby step exercises but mandatory.

Another meal and a 20 minute break followed after those numerous sets of exercises, food has become a minor motivation while the death of the Guard a couple of weeks ago has become the main motivation. After that last meal for the day, they finish up with 2 more hours of exercise of which gradually becoming easier too doo.

Woldemir doesn't expect them to be at top efficiency after such a long day after all, they basically exercise 11 hours a day with in between breaks lasting an hour long when all combined, it sure is a hell lot ot exercises even for abnormally strong Calidum Lutum men and women.

Woldemir wanted to make Sword Grand Masters out of them indeed but even for them it would require a lot of work, for a Calidum Lutum the title of a grand master has been made harder.

Because if they trained at an Ignite or illustratio's pace they would finish up as Grand Masters in 3 years. Commander Alia has acknowledged that fact, it is also a reason why Woldemir buffed up the daily training.

The title still remained hard to obtain, but Imagine if they actually succed. A troop of 55 carrying Grand Mastery in Swordsmanship marching down an enemy Kingdom! Even an army of 500 can't face them with hopes of winning, they would dominate anyone in battle unless they are fighting one of their own.

Isabel Progressed tremendously fast and is half way there to being a master. She was very interested into any exercise and technique Woldemir offered ever since he started training them, finding them unique even though basic.

Paying the biggest attention to every little detail each technique or training had to offer, she didn't just go an extra mile to learn more now that the opportunity is given, she went 10 miles! This just shows how much appreciation she has for this art of battle.

But the other 9 Guards Eric has chosen to aid for the battle of Gaster Kingdom reached great progress as well so far! Through Woldemir's order and discipline they managed to work as one, but weren't so far off it when they first began training under his ways.

Now they began knowing each other's weaknesses and advantages, using advantages in battle and knowing what to defend in battle. They helped each other progress faster no doubt, have each others back and progressed although each one different thoughts.

The Blacksmith managed to make full body armor for 7 people through these days. It is not easy to make full body armor for 55 Calidum Lutum even though he is tremendously skilled. The fact that these people are typically 10 feet tall made it a whole lot more time consuming.

This is a task that a normal Blacksmith would take several months too doo alone, years even depending on the experience. Yet this Blacksmith alone managed to make 7 already in just 10 days, one would think that he has magical powers as an aid. In two months or less he will be able to make all of the required armour, but as for the primary required 10 it would just take a couple more days.

The armor is so well forged that it would take three arrow shots at one specific spot to just break through the armour and lightly pierce the skin. And considering that it is quite difficult to hit a moving target at the same spot over and over, the armor offers great protection from arrows however Swords share a different story.

But of course if one Guard was to face Over 20 archers who would take a bit of effort to reach, it would end up badly. They aren't immortal after all, just harder to kill. There also are specific Archers who would prove a lot more troublesome, especially if the Archers are of an Elite(Level 4) team. They are trained to stay as far away from a target as possible.

The body armour like the Calidum Lutum themselves, is pitch black. But a hint of pure iron spreading down like veins was to be seen on the armour. Light and not overly spread, but it was there representing their lava like veins.

The Blacksmith could have used Gold instead of iron, but that of course isn't affordable. If the armor where to get stolen, they would be all the more valuable.

The Armour looked quite tremendous on the men and women. Considering they were all in to an abnormally good shape, the armor on them looked even better. When Woldemir saw Isabel in full body armor, his heart skipped a beat but that shall remain our little secret.

Her Armor brought up her feminine side a bit more, which was hard to focus on before from a Women slashing a sword ground trembling hard, or maybe Isabel just moved too much for him to notice before? Whatever the case might be, that made Woldemir skip another beat.

He has already been admiring Isabel ever since he saw how well she can fight, her beauty is indeed overwhelming as well and has left him at a loss for words.

She was of the Calidum Lutum race but her face had Ignite features making her beauty unique and different, her jawline is smaller which in some ways matches perfectly with her dark skin.

Woldemir would love to know her story, what her past is or maybe even figure out how to help her overcome what she fears to express by word. But Isabel isn't agreeing to such plans, she remains silent and all she cares about is the way of the Sword, fond towards the Craft.

Perhaps her past was traumatic, perhaps it still haunts her. Hard to tell but she is living between people who accept her as who she is and adore her capabilities so that should at least contribute a portion towards damage control?

"What do you say Woldemir. Are my Guards battle ready?" Asked Commander Alia with her enthusiasm building up bit by bit as she joined the training shortly after entering the room.

"They certainly have made great progress. With full body armour they will be almost unstoppable." Woldemir proudly stated as he glanced upon the warriors he had the pleasure of training.

Commander Alia found it reasonable to repeat one specific fact which might shift Woldemir's morale furthermore towards the better, "On my last visit at Gaster Kingdom, there were roughly 100 Guards. I'm not aware of bigger changes but they don't have the capability to get more Guards without the assistance from a bigger Kingdom."

And had the pleasure of stating after, "If they got more Guards, it should be 20 or less."

Now stating a Golden fact, Woldemir cited. "Considering the damages Eric caused in Crutal Kingdom, they won't be getting assistance anytime soon all the way to the edge of the Continent."
