Morning gently illuminated the academy. Outside his room window, Leonhardt could see the sunlight slowly touching the leaves, giving a peaceful feeling to the new day. The faint sound of birds chirping could be heard, making the morning atmosphere even calmer.
However, the tranquility only lasted a short while for Leonhardt. As he opened his eyes, a notification from the System Window appeared right in front of him. Leonhardt's eyes were still heavy, but the glowing text in front of him caught his attention.
[NEW FEATURE UNLOCKED: DAILY QUEST]
Daily quests are now available to help you improve your stats and earn Gold Coins.
Leonhardt stared at the screen curiously.
"Daily Quest?" he mumbled, furrowing his brow. "I've never seen this before."With a curious feeling, he opened the details of the quest. There was a sense of unease in his chest, especially when he saw that this was a new system he was not fully familiar with.
[NEW DAILY QUEST AVAILABLE]
Quest: Morning Physical Training
Description: Perform physical training for 30 minutes to strengthen your body.
Reward: +1 Strength, +1 Agility, 10 Gold Coins Penalty: If not completed, -1 Strength, -1 Agility, lose 10 Gold Coins.
Leonhardt read the quest instructions carefully. Physical training for 30 minutes. The reward was an increase in Strength and Agility, as well as Gold Coins. However, what caught his attention more was the penalty for not completing the quest.
"If I don't finish it, I can lose my physical stats and Gold Coins?" he spoke softly, his eyes widening as he realized the risk. "This is more serious than I thought."He got out of bed lazily.
Although physical training was not something he particularly enjoyed, he knew that the punishment for this quest could be detrimental to him in the long run. With a reluctant feeling, Leonhardt took a deep breath and began to prepare for what seemed to be a tougher morning than usual.As he left his room, Leonhardt felt a little fresher.
The morning air in the academy was very cool, with the scent of dew-wet grass still lingering. Around the academy grounds, some other students were already busy practicing, some talking about magic, while others had already started their physical training.
Leonhardt stood at the edge of the yard, looking at the surroundings. A large training field stretched out in front of him, with a fairly long running track. The morning sun illuminated the entire area, making Leonhardt squint his eyes.
"Alright, 30 minutes," he mumbled as he rotated his shoulders to stretch his muscles. "I have to finish this."
Leonhardt started running slowly around the yard. His legs moved steadily, although his mind wandered to other things. Every step felt slow, as if time was moving slower than usual. He wasn't used to this kind of physical routine, relying more on his magic than his physical strength.
However, as he continued to run, his breathing began to regulate. He could feel his previously stiff muscles becoming more flexible. The sun continued to shine, gradually warming the initially cool air. Leonhardt didn't stop.
He kept running, even when fatigue started to set in his legs.Around the field, the voices of other students who were also training grew louder. They practiced magic, creating small fires in the air or moving the wind as if following their commands. However, Leonhardt remained focused on his training.
"30 minutes," he mumbled, trying to encourage himself. "I can do this."
After 30 minutes had passed, Leonhardt finally stopped running. Sweat covered his forehead and back. He was panting, but there was a sense of satisfaction flowing through him. The System Window appeared again, displaying the awaited message.
[QUEST COMPLETE]
Morning Physical Training Reward: +1 Strength, +1 Agility, 10 Gold Coins
Leonhardt smiled thinly as he wiped the sweat from his face.
"Not bad," he said to himself.
Although it was only a slight improvement, it still gave him a sense of progress.However, before he could really rest, the System Window appeared again. This time, it wasn't a daily quest message, but an announcement from the academy about an upcoming big event. His eyes widened as he read the details.
[ACADEMY EVENT ANNOUNCEMENT]
Event: Annual Inter-Class Tournament
Description: The tournament will take place over three days, where students will compete in both physical and magical challenges.
Reward: 300 XP, 50 Gold Coins, and a special item for the top 3 winners.
Leonhardt read the announcement seriously. The inter-class tournament was a big event that all students looked forward to. Every student would fight in a series of challenges, both physical and magical.
This was a chance to prove oneself in front of the teachers and other students.
"Inter-class tournament..." he mumbled, shaking his head. "I'm not fully prepared, but this is a great opportunity."
This tournament would be a big test for all students, including him. Leonhardt felt a little nervous, but also determined. He knew this was a great opportunity to prove himself, especially in front of other students who often looked down on him.After returning from his morning training, Leonhardt went back to his room.
His small room felt warmer than usual. He sat on the edge of his bed, looking out the window as he pondered the upcoming tournament.
"This is going to be tough," he thought. "But with the System Window, I might have an edge."
The next day, Leonhardt knew he had to focus more on tournament preparation. The System Window gave him a notification for a new, more challenging Daily Quest, this time focusing on magic.
[NEW DAILY QUEST AVAILABLE]
Quest: Tournament Preparation
Description: Prepare for the upcoming tournament by practicing your combat magic for 1 hour.
Reward: +2 Intelligence, +2 Agility, 20 Gold Coins
Penalty: If not completed, -2 Intelligence, -2 Agility, lose 20 Gold Coins.
Leonhardt stared at the screen seriously. Magic preparation was key in this tournament, and he knew he couldn't miss a single training session.
"The penalty this time is heavier," he mumbled. "I can't let this fail."
With renewed vigor, Leonhardt prepared for an even more intense day. He knew that every training session, every Daily Quest, would bring him closer to success in the upcoming tournament.
