12 Training Months

Days passed quickly just like a flying kite. Everyday was like hell to the young boy Elliot. He was experiencing, a 10 year old, things teenagers doesn't even experience.

He was working already, independently getting his own money. While directly after his job, come his excruciating training of going back forth with strengthening, studying, strengthening. It was his everyday life.

It was also troublesome to make up a lie that can reason of why he's always late everyday. It's not like the directress really cares but his roommates will definitely found it suspicious.

Through months of training to prepare to be a wizard, it goes to the course of Arch teaching him first hto strengthen his body foundation. They didn't first focus on the core enhancing. Which Elliot found it disappointing thus training it himself while fishing, secretly.

He was told that he was already keeping it in good, so probably his master wouldnt know if he was getting his core stronger. And he hides it pretty well. He's a good liar.

With training his body foundation, he was given a routine of what should he follow. In the first week, Elliot thought Arch was going easy on him. It was just the beginner like 20 sit ups, 10 push up, 20 burpees, 30 lunges. It didn't even took him hours to do it, just mere minutes. That's why even though day to day, it supposed to be training, studying, training, studying, with that workout, he can study and train at the same time.

The first week was like that, until the second week came, and it parkoured right up there in the roof. It became All-100. It was recommended by a professional fighter. It became hellish for Elliot, sometimes he thought giving up already but his own body doesn't follow his brain. He kept doing it even though it was hard.

But that was just one course of his training. He was only building his built, his body foundation. Because it is required to learn the other teachings.

As months passed where Elliot was used to the workout, doing it in the ranging time of an hour or so, his master knew it was time to add more things. It was sword arts and martial arts. Also it was the start of training his core again. Apparently, as his master was crippled, he learned sword arts to still be able to defend himself. But Elliot was dumbfounded, does wizard even need those kind of things?

He mostly learned Taekwondo, Karate, and Jujutsu. While in sword arts, it's mostly fencing and some movement techniques, which he actually got fond at.

One day equals all of that, all-100 workout, sword arts, martial arts, and core enhancing.

Which it made him always go back to the orphanage between 11 pm or 12 am.

Everyday, he trained, motivated by his past life, he cant be a no named wizard. Enduring those hardship became a usual thing for him as more days passed. Even though he was angst of using magic already, his master taught him this.

More quality than quantity, rather than talent, it will be his patience that will shape his future up.

One Year Later

*Cling*

*Kling*

*Cling Klang*

*Klang!*

Sounds of swords were heard in the private gymnasium. The gym holds a modernized style with the glass ceiling in the middle, where it makes light be seen through.

Two person, both male are fighting with each other with their metal swords as the younger one falls in defeat, having an external injury in his arms.

The older man, the blond haired luxury clothed one, and the young man, the black haired ten year old, who despite his age, has the rocking hard abs and muscles popping out of his broad shoulder. It was obvious he became much more taller after the year passed and got his built up.

The older and taller man offered his hand to the young boy getting him up.

"Cmon, we gotta patch this up," A coarse voice sounded directing to the younger boy.

The young boy, half naked as he reveals his bare upper body, grunting in slight pain at his wound.

"Call Claude!" The man, Archiac Caius, yelled at the glassed balcony upstairs. And a man in a suit with his shades bowed and parts away.

Seconds later, a golden haired man, with his glasses and book, came down as he brought his first aid kid with him.

"Archie, dude, you have to stop being serious about him," nags Claude seeing the grunting Elliot, disinfecting the wound with water.

"How can he learn? Until now, he's still weak as fack" Insulted him playfully at his student Elliot.

Elliot snorted at it while staying still as Claude patch up his wound. Weak? One thing he learned from the pass is never be pessimistic about himself, because it will hurt him more. He learned to believe and trust himself. And he's proud of now that he can strike at least once in his master's body. When he started sword arts, he can't even balance the sword and himself.

"By the way El, later we will talk," Arch said gulping his water down after their training.

"Hm" Elliot nodded as he cloth himself with a white t-shirt. With the money he saved up, he was able to buy himself personal stuff such as clothes, everyday items and all. He mostly buy from the company itself, Night, as he gets a discount with a card Arch gave him. He's pretty lucky. He doesn't pay for the training fee after all.

In those training times, because the secret room where wizards stuff are stored, was too small, Arch bought a personal training gym for Elliot and him. Dang, how lucky is Elliot. He seems like a boy gold digger for some reason.

It has its own room of magic stuff, mostly books as Arch wasn't permitted to use potions nor anything that can make him conjure magic.

Because they made a deal. Elliot won't do any magical things exception for his core enhancing until his 10th birthday.

September 1 was still his birthday in this life, he just came back into the past with a different body. And September 1st passed days ago. He had a simple celebration with his higher up "friends", Claude and his master Arch. While also with Justin and Anastasia in the orphanage. He wasn't able to befriend other than Justin and Tasia much, as he was too busy training.

That's why he's not even noticed by others in the place.

Even though now he's already 10 years old, Arch still hasn't addressed anything about their deal. And Elliot's planning to ask about it as they will talk later.

He first ate close to the fridge in the gym. Yes, the same old fridge the wizard lab have. He's offered with shitty foods if he ask Arch to give him one, so he pays the good food for himself.

He always pay for everything that he uses, except for this sole gym only. The clothes that he received, which are specially made for training people, he payed for those. And since it's always destroyed once a good fight between them occurs, he has to buy one again. Then comes with swords he uses, yoga mats , hell he even rent his books if he wants to bring it home.

Thankfully, the payment from the fishing just increases as days passed as he's able to attract more fish with his amplified core.

So he still manage to save up enough for his estimated wand cost, books, wizarding clothes as there's only exactly a year before his hogwarts time comes. And it will his birthday gift as September is also the day where the school year will start.

Plants started coming onto his mind today, of what should he do and all of that. But for now, he needs to go upstairs as Arch will speak with him.

He finished his food brushing his teeth first. This gym got it all, bathroom, kitchen, even a living room. But most of them are upstairs.

He goes up to the second floor completely drying his sweat, but it made his skin extra oily, makes him uncomfortable. Knocking on the office of his master, it opened as Claude on the other side opened it.

Claude smiled as he let Elliot in, who sat in the couch facing his master.

Arch ordered Claude to go out with their weird hand signal, then turning onto serious face.

"Your fine now?" Arch asked about Elliot's wound earlier. Though it's a daily happening where he always get wounds every time they sword fight, he still always asked him about it.

"Yeah, just small things like this won't bother me," said Elliot laying his body down in the couch wanting to moan in its softness.

"Your 10 years old now.." Arch started off, and saying his age made Elliot already think about the agreement they made year ago. So he immediately got his attention up.

His answer are always short so Elliot just nodded in response.

"I.....

will be gone for a while, we, Claude and I, and since your already independent, I grant you the permission to use magic now," told Arch as he smiled too seeing the blissful face of Elliot.

"Uh, thanks I guess.." Elliot, is usually now trained to have poker and cold face. He adapted that from Arch. Who is playful outside the gym, cold as rock when training comes. Sometimes it was hard to get use to it.

"But then, won't the Ministry know of my magic?" Elliot asked. He still doesn't completely know how does the Ministry works, even though he has his past memories. After all, he was just a nobody before. And he might just completely reveal himself if hes detected to use one. Revealing that he hasn't yet got his invite, he already know about magic's existence .

He didn't care about the fact if he can conjure magic. Like the last time he did it, where only faint particles pop up quickly dissappearing. This time, with his evolved core , he's confident that he can use magic efficiently already, perhaps..

Back to their conversation,

Now Elliot back with his poker face, Arch continued as Elliot asked regarding about the Ministry problem.

"That's why I will escourt you to England,"

Arch speak, where Elliot uppen his one eyebrow, he didn't know what change does that make. They, are already in England...

"Yeah, what difference does that make?"

"England-... Wizarding World"

Elliot's heart stop for a bit. Is his master real? Just imagine how many more things he can already do. But Elliot nervously smiled. Then his master probably know that he will use illegal ways to get through the Ministry. Like Knockturn Alley for example.

That's why the glint hiding in Arch's is so obvious. He already his student's way of doing things.

"When?"

"Tomorrow"
