27 Go back?

Why do you wanna go back to the Zolhains? Since you are here as our guest... Enjoy your stay we will take care of everything. With that, he ordered one of his lieutenants to get me a room ready. Yes! Completed task one! Now the next is to get somebody who knows the way to the heart of Seraphim, Eleanor City where Astaroth lives. A moment later the lieutenant came back and escorted me to my room. On the way, he gave me instructions on the rules that I should follow while being in an army camp to which I happily nodded. I didn't actually know what was about to happen to me. That day went very smoothly as they allowed me to sleep so long and get comfortable in the new place.

The next day when it dawned, I got up as soon as I heard the siren. This was one of the rules that the lieutenant mentioned yesterday. That is, to get up early, go for a run, have breakfast with the general, train with the soldiers, have lunch with the general, and in the evening the general would take me out to tour Seraphim. Everything seemed easy until I knew that the morning run that they mentioned was about 15 kms. How am I supposed to complete it? Then again as I was their guest who is currently living off them I was given lenience that I only had to run seven kilometres.

To tell you the truth It was really hard even though I have learned swordsmanship I never did really have the stamina to run not more than 3km. This was definitely asking for death but what could I do? It was I, myself who nodded everything in agreement!

With all my might I began to run...

It was four in the morning and by the time I finished my morning run, it was nearly eight. Trust me I came back as a ghost!!! Exhausted and panting,I made all the way to my room. When I saw the bed I just laid on it for a moment and then blank!

The loud knock on my door brought me back from my deep slumber. When I opened it, I found that it was the Young General. His expression showed worry for some reason. The first thing he asked was whether I was ok or not. He said to me that it is around twelve and I missed my breakfast.

What? The exhaustion completely took over me ...I'm really sorry, I sincerely apologized. All I could remember was just laying there and two hours just went like that?
