4 I Choose you!~

Ethan began to get bored of the lessons when the teachers could not contribute new knowledge that he had already read from his family's library based on the curriculum that his mother had made for him, apart from that he reviewed several topics to do simpler books for Alice when she begins her lessons under his mother's care.

In order to make these simple books, Ethan had to read a lot and understand what he was reading, which made him have a firm foundation in knowledge.

While Ethan observed the trees outside in the school garden after finishing the magic equation that the teacher put in as an exercise, the class ended shortly after a few minutes, during that time, Anabel had managed to help Mara to finish fixing her formulas magic of her grimoire.

Soon a student peeked through the door as the teacher left.

"Professor Victor said he waits for you at training ground number 2, he wants you in your gym uniforms, and those who arrive after 10 minutes of the bell have no attendance today, attendance is 35% of qualification" The boy hastily left after being called by his friend.

"Ugh~ fitness, I hate it" Anabel got up from her seat with little enthusiasm as Mara had a similar attitude but she didn't speak as she gathered her things and placed them under the table in an orderly way.

"Finally! Some action, I was getting bored of sitting and listening to the teachers talking non-stop" Ethan on the other hand, was more animated since he had planned to do something new since he arrived at the academy, he couldn't improve his sword art until the duels begin and the experience would be insignificant compared to what he gained from his duels against Rudolf who is a Jack of all trades.

Ethan's group went to the locker rooms that were on the other side of the corridor from where the classroom is located, it was obviously a building with the students separated by their genders, but that didn't stop some from trying to see each other's locker room.

There was only one difference between both groups and it was luck, the men didn't find any way to see the girls, while they did manage to see some boys, since they didn't close the door, it isn't like they felt ashamed, many of them were cheeky and allowed themselves to be seen by the few girls who didn't take their eyes off the place.

Ethan observed everything with a grain of annoyance, so he changed quickly and headed to the training ground, where the teacher was standing in the entrance with a timer in hand that had a 10-minute mark, he just silently observed all who came and returned the greeting to those who greeted him out of respect.

The training ground was simply an open field with a mini combat arena with spectator seats and a few other things to practice using weapons.

Ethan walked over to the weapon rack that was filled with all types of weapons, from a slingshot to training grimoires, but Ethan only had his gaze planted on the bow section.

He had already learned to handle a sword out of his family's custom, but now he was free to practice any weapon he wanted, apart from wanting a change in his routine and nothing better than learning to use a bow, an area where his knowledge of how to use a sword didn't facilitate the use of the bow, apart from that he was always more attracted to the use of bows.

The bow rack was accommodated by the type of bow and the strength it requires to be able to use them, there were also other things like special gloves and the arrow bags.

Ethan looked at all the different types of bows, but in the end, he chose a compound one, when he felt a little movement in his aura when he moved his hand through this section of bows, a smile appeared on Ethan's face from the excitement of discovering more from this strange feeling of familiarity, something he didn't feel with the use of swords.

After equipping himself, Ethan had to reunite with his group who were now surrounding the professor, who only raised an eyebrow when he noticed that some students had already chosen their weapons, some with pride and another with doubts, while only one had a smile cheeky as his aura moves a bit out of control from his emotions.

"Why are you so excited to use a bow? You aren't a master swordsman, you should not be with a sword in your hand instead of a bow?" Anabel approached Ethan when she saw him approach with a smile on his face as he carried a bow in his left hand.

Some students also noticed this and decided to listen to the discussion without interrupting it.

"I am the only one of my siblings who can't use magic, so my father made sure that I learned to use a sword at any point in my day at the mansion, I could never attempt to use other weapons other than that, I had dedicated myself in learning to use the sword to awaken my Aura, something that I already did and now I want to explore new experiences" Ethan didn't keep anything to himself, his excited mood made him not mind explaining his behavior to others.

"*Whistle~* Now let's start with the class, I am supposed to train you to later teach you to use weapons, but many of you are in this group because you had a higher score in the physical test or because of the record that your families contributed In your registration, now just for a test, we will all start doing the exercise that you would be asked to do in the middle of the course, which will be to run 10,000 meters and then do some physical exercises, after that, you will be free to train.

You must comply with the exercise routine every day you enter this place, this token records your routine as it connects with your uniforms, therefore, you will not be able to fool me with your results, you can also see what the goals of the day you have to do with you token" The teacher activated the tokens which made them absorb the weapons that some students were carrying in order to practice.

"Another Function is that it stores the weapons you want to train with, it can only store two weapons, if you want to increase the amount, talk to me at another time, but be sure to gather people with the same thought, now start with the exercises, I'll be here to give guidance to those who have doubts about how to use any weapon" The teacher got into a half rigid position while he was silent as all the students began to do different activities.

"<This is very light>" Ethan thought as he started running from one side of the training ground to the other, on the first lap, Ethan noticed that the Token registered that he ran 1400 meters, which meant that Ethan only had to do 13 or 12 laps to complete the first task.

It took an hour and a half for more than half of the people to finish running, while many others only carried half of the exercise list or could not even manage to finish the required distance.

Ethan found himself doing the last exercise that is 220 squats, much less than he normally does when training in the mansion, his breathing was only a little agitated and it was from not taking any rest in the entire course of time, but it isn't as if he needed it, he just had to circulate his aura through his body to recover from the continuous agitation.

After a few minutes, Ethan finished the exercises and was able to draw the bow from the token, but not before going for a straight double-edged two-handed sword, the design was simple like the other weapons, but its quality was still higher than the average.

Ethan didn't buy his weapons because it is not allowed, since it is easy to buy weapons with puppet-type enchantments that do the movements instead of one, it is a good enchantment for newbies, but only for them, since you can not learn anything else there of basic movements unless you are some kind of genius or have a special ability, which is very rare, but not impossible.

"Well let's start with the basics" Ethan walked away from his teammates who were forcing themselves to complete the exercises so he could use the field to practice with his weapons or spells.

"What? You don't have a spell to help you?" Ethan looked with entertainment at Anabel who was out of breath on the ground, after finishing the 10,000-meter race.

"Any advice..." She didn't have the strength to answer as usual and preferred to get advice from Ethan.

"Breathe through your mouth and nose to have enough oxygen or else you will end up just like you, another thing is that it is a rhythm of 3;3, every three steps of a shekel of your breathing, try to slow down your exaggerated damsel movements and run or jog as it should, it's embarrassing to see women run like this" Ethan pointed to a noble girl who runs with her thighs close together while spreading her feet unnecessarily far apart for each step she takes, maybe if she walked, her way of walking would make her look elegant and attract the man's attention to her lower half, a good thing, but not for exercise.

"This is how you looked a few seconds ago when you were running when you should do like her" Another girl snatched the weak and pathetic damsel with a constant and even rhythm, the girl is a commoner who uses a spear as her main weapon, Ethan knows this because he saw her practice a bit with the spear before the weapons were stored in the tokens.

Anabel looked deep in thought after seeing two opposites in a woman's behavior and especially when she was scolded, she as a magician, she doesn't have experience in this theme and, therefore, she takes Ethan's advice seriously.

On the other hand, Ethan was already doing an exercise to find his dominant eye which was to make a triangle with his two hands extended, the center of the target in the triangle that he formed and closed his left eye realizing that he could no longer see the target.

"Dexterous, excellent!" Ethan showed his smile of excitement again when he activated the practice shooting system of the training field, obviously, he placed it in novice with targets at 5 meters from the shooting area.

"No aura... focus" Ethan took the bow with his left hand and began to draw the string with his right hand while placing a practice arrow, Ethan's movements were smooth and constant thanks to his discipline as a Swordsman from when he had to practice the Katas of his fighting style.

Ethan suppressed his aura that wanted to go out to help shoot the arrow and kept his concentration to then shoot the arrow and quickly place another when he could predict that it would not hit the target where he wanted and that was when the arrow hit the blue ring a few centimeters from the black ring.

The following three arrows fired by Ethan served Ethan to determine how much force he needs per distance, the angle of fall of the arrows, how they are affected by the air currents controlled by the system, and what was the most comfortable position to shoot for him.

"The apprentice mode is extremely easy, I suppose it is for people without any training, I will put it now in the advanced medium" Ethan modified the difficulty since now he had basic control over the bow, but he wanted emotion and that would not get with monotonous workouts, therefore, he increases the difficulty beyond his actual level.

The shooting range is a closed place with the entire shooting range controlled by the system, at the beginning there were only the targets placed on the ground immobile, but now with the change in difficulty, they were flying in the air while rotating in circles and are moved by currents of air that are now strong enough to alter the direction of the arrows, apart from some stone pillars that block the possibility to hit the targets.

There were also some small golems flying that were there to retrieve the arrows while others pretended to be wild animals that moved all over the place.

"This... this is great!" Excitement filled Ethan when he compared his monotonous sword training to this practice field that he saw as something out of some videogame or a fantasy book.

Many students looked with excitement at the other practice sections for the various weapons and it was enough excitement for many of them to regain their strength to be able to use the place today and tomorrow.

"Professor, if I come tomorrow in my free time, can I do the exercises that day to have the next one free of exercises and be able to make use of the place?" A boy asked the teacher after he managed to finish the exercises and saw how Ethan is enjoying the archery area.

"You can, but I recommend you not to do it so as not to fatigue your body, but there is no rule that says no to your idea" The teacher showed a small smile when he noticed how some students had more willpower with their exercises.
