New Goal

After Yosel finished explaining what had taken place, Arthur was sick to his stomach. Especially after hearing that he was the one that killed his very own parents, Arthur didn't know what to do with himself. It was as if his entire world was crashing on itself. He wanted to die so that he would not have to wake up ever again. At that moment, Arthur's eyes began to tear up as he made a realisation. The day that his parents were killed as he was forced to watch everything take place, he didn't see a figure with a cloak standing before him. What he was looking at was a mirror reflecting himself. Arthur was in fact the man in the cloak. A version of him that was completely possessed by the demon in his body.

"So what do you want to do now?" Yosel asked Arthur to which Arthur wiped away his tears and had a plan in his mind.

"I'm going to train until I can have total control over my body and no longer have to fear that monster taking over me," said Arthur while Yosel had a smile on his face.

"Why are you smiling?" Arthur asked in a rather annoyed tone.

"You see though, you've been training this entire time. You just didn't realise it," said Yosel as Arthur remembered that he had the training weights still on his body.

"Wait, why are they so much lighter now?" Arthur asked to which Yosel himself looked confused.

"Wait what? Even if you were walking around with them for this long, they should still have a heavy strain on your body. Wait-" Yosel said before coming to a reasonable conclusion.

"I think I know why you're able to adapt so quickly," said Yosel, which seemed to have caught Arthur's interest as shown by his facial expression.

"I believe that the demon possessing your body needs you to survive. As such, the more strain there is on your body, the more it tries to adjust your body so that it is able to withstand that pressure. Of course at some point, it'll take that away from you, however there's also the factor that your own muscles are growing at a rapid rate so that they can withstand the pressure themselves. As such, in due time, your own muscles will adjust to being able to carry around so much weight. My advice for you for now is to keep these clothes on and start focusing on a new aspect of training which I've wanted to try for quite some time," said Yosel to which Arthur grew excited as he wanted to train more so that he could overcome the demon inside him.

"So what did you have in mind?" Arthur asked to which Yosel simply pointed his palm forward and began casting a spell. Instantly, a treadmill appeared in front of Arthur and Yosel hinted that he wanted him to go on it. Right as Arthur took his first step on it, he remembered something important and quickly leaped off of the machine in front of him.

"What's wrong?" Yosel asked Arthur to which he pointed at his stomach with an annoyed face.

"I'm hungry," said Arthur, to which Yosel looked concerned.

"Wait, are you telling me you haven't eaten anything since we've got here?" Yosel asked to which Arthur nodded.

"I didn't even know that was possible. Anyway, I'm pretty sure you know how to use spells to create your own meals so feel free to eat whatever you like then we can get into your speed training," said Yosel to which Arthur nodded and placed his palm forward.

"Tier 6 Spell: Wondrous Creations; Sub-section: Food"

"Tier 7 Spell: Condense"

Using the first spell, Arthur created food which was not seen as he had instantly condensed it into a small pill which he swallowed and as such instantly ate all the food he created.

"Wow, I never thought to use that spell like that. I mean it saves a lot of time so I guess I'll do that next time as well," said Yosel in surprise.

"By the way, what did you even include in that pill?" Yosel asked out of curiosity. However instead of giving a reply, Arthur handed over a large scroll of paper which he brought out by placing his palm forward and casting a spell.

"It contains all the things I just ate," said Arthur with a casual tone, however when Yosel unwrapped the scroll, it seemed as if it would never stop rolling on the ground.

"You're lying right? There's no way you could've eaten all this in a single bite," Yosel said in disbelief.

"What? Is there anything wrong with that? I mean that's what the average person eats right?" Arthur replied to which Yosel let out a gasp as he realised that Arthur was dead serious.

"One, tenth of what you just ate could probably feed a country. How are you able to consume so much? This shouldn't even be possible," Yosel said as he tried to comprehend what was taking place right in front of his eyes.

"To be honest though, I'm pretty sure I'm still hungry but I don't know if I'll be too full to train if I take another pill of that size," Arthur began to speak to himself to which Yosel instantly stopped him.

"I think you've eaten enough for the next 10 years. How about we get to training now?" Yosel asked with a smile as Arthur could probably eat the entire island the two of them were standing on if he wanted to.

"Okay sure, I guess I can just eat later," said Arthur before stepping on the treadmill.

"Okay now," said Yosel after taking a deep breath in as he prepared to take his role as a teacher once again.

"What's going to happen now is that this machine will start moving and you're going to have to run so that you don't fall off of it? It's going to start off slow and then it'll increase its speed so that your body will gradually get faster and faster," Yosel explained.
