Knight's training ground

Utilising the knowledge of the novel 'the hero of velveric fights demon lord' was hard when Zick didn't even know at what time in the novel he was in.

The fact that he was still alive and the first born son of the melvix family was still in the academy had shown him that the novel hadn't even begun.

The first born son of the melvix family, jarvin melvix was in the middle of his 20s in the novel.

The novel begins at the academy where the protagonist enters to become stronger.

The only way Zick could find out how much time he had before the novel story begin was to ask his tutor about the current situation of the cravion kingdom. 

The tutor comes once every week to teach him a simple history of the Cravion kingdom so he wasn't worried much about it.

Only after knowing How much time he has can he start making plans for his future actions.

Entering his room, Zick started changing his clothes to something that is comfortable to move in.

Right now, he was planning on going to the knight's training ground.

'I don't have anything to do anyway....doing some exercise shouldn't matter right?'

Zick already knew what he had to do to feel mana and control it because it was vividly described in the novel.

Wearing a shirt with a loose sleeve and collar, he looked at himself in the mirror. He felt really weird now that he looked at himself in the mirror again.

His body in the old world had pale skin as he would not go out of his room for a long time unlike his current skin which looked healthy.

Even his eyes which had a huge glaring dark circle had vanished.

But still he had something to say about himself-

'I really am handsome aren't I? I could have become the best actor of the year if I had this face in my old world'

Having these narcissist thoughts, Zick went out of his room with a smile same as ever.

Following the memories in his head, he reached the knight's training ground. 

It was still morning so the training grounds were almost overflowing with knights doing their training as usual.

Walking carefully so as to not disturb them, Zich headed towards the sword trainer assigned to him.

But as he was making his way towards the destination, He felt a lot of gazes landing upon him at once.

The people who become knights are at least at the lowest rank. People in this rank have their senses enhanced to an unbelievable level, they could even see clearly at a distance of 200 metre. 

Not everyone can become a knight or magician, Only people born with talent have chances to become a knight or a magician

Almost everyone in here was a knight so they were able to sense Zick's presence the moment he stepped foot on this ground.

When the knights found out that it was Zick, they all started sneering at him.

"what? it was just him?"

"I don't know why that garbage even comes here."

"yeah, because of him...."

Suddenly all the knights stopped talking, it almost felt like time had stopped.

'he smiled...?'

Zick had turned towards them and smiled at them all.

The knights head went blank for second seeing the smile, Zick had never shown any expression leaving a gloomy face that he had all the time.

Ignoring the knights around him, Zick started looking around for the sword trainer he had in his memories.

He didn't have to look for him for long as he was standing in front of the knights while looking at him with wide eyes.

Still with a smile plastered on his face, Zick headed towards the sword trainer.

When Zick reached in front of the sword trainer, he snapped out of his stupor and greeted him respectfully.

"yo-young master Zick, how may I help you?"

Even though all the knights treat him as garbage and in a disrespectful way, They can't be disrespectful when greeting him or when he asks them something.

Zick is a total garbage with no talent at all but still he is one of the heirs of melvix family.

And the punishment for a knight of Melvix family to treat a heir disrespectfully is to have their head cut off without exception no matter the cause of their disrespectful behaviour.

That is the iron clad rule of the Melvix family.

"I want to train with my sword and do a little exercise"

"su-sure please follow me"

The sword trainer led the way to a place where Zick could train with ease.

The sword trainer's name is Garrick Moss, he had brown hair and green eyes with a strong build.

Garrick was still feeling weird looking at the smile on Zick's face. He has been instructing Zick for almost more than three years but Zick had never smiled even for once in these years.

Zick didn't bother looking at all the knights or Garrick's face at all.

Taking out one of the swords from the scabbard, Zick started training just like how he did in his memories.

"Please move your waist less when you are breathing in"

Garrick started pointing out any mistakes he made.

Whenever Zick trained in his sword Garrick would always point out his mistake and tell him the way to do it properly.

With Zick having no talent and not being able to sense mana, all he could do was to increase his sword skills.

After finishing his sword training, he started doing exercise. Just running for 5 minutes. He was totally drained of energy.

'As I thought.... I will have to build up some stamina first'

Looking at himself, his clothes were wet with sweat and he was still breathing roughly.

After catching his breath, he started heading back to his room. Reaching near his room's door, he saw Butler Von standing in front of it.

"young master Zick, your lunch is ready"

'what...this fast...?'

Not showing any of his surprise on his face, Zick still smiled towards Von.

"Bring it to my room"

Hearing him, Von Nodded his head and started heading towards somewhere. 

Getting into his room, Zick first took a bath and then wore one of his clothes which looked costly and fancy no matter how he saw it.

Hearing the sound of someone knocking on the door, he opened the door and saw Von standing there with a tray of food.

'ugh...what's with this smell..?'

Zick ordered Von to leave the tray and go.

After that, he looked at the contents of the soup bowl. It was almost like noodles, leaving the fact that they were in black colour and fatter than noodles.

Taking up his eating instruments, He took a strand of the felix root and munched upon it.

The moment it entered his mouth a revolting feeling rose from his stomach. It was the most disgusting thing Zick had ever eaten in his life.

Bringing his hand in front of his mouth, he forced himself to eat it. 

The revolting feeling only went away once he had eaten it totally.

'Damn, will I have to eat this shit for a whole month?'

For a second, Zick felt like it wouldn't matter if he just gave up.

But he still didn't give up, he isn't a saint nor is he a kind person. All he wants to do now is to become stronger so that he could live a life which is stable unlike his old one.

Thinking of his old life for some reason he didn't feel that eating the Felix root for one month was hard at all.

Keeping the eating instrument aside, he picked up the bowl directly and started eating without hesitation, this time when he ate the felix roots there was only a blank look in his face.

'Only this much is nothing'

Yeah, just this much wasn't enough for stopping him. He will become stronger and decide his future for himself and not let it be controlled by someone else.

After steeling his resolve to grow stronger, Zick decided to write all the important information about the novel in a book, even though he can't remember all of it. There shouldn't be a problem writing a rough outline of what happened.

After making up his mind he didn't waste his time and started writing in his personal book.

He wrote it in the native language of the earth just to be cautious.

Without noticing, it had already turned night.

Hearing the sound of someone knocking on his door, he opened it.

"Young master, your dinner is ready"

Butler Von was standing in front of him, Seeing Zick's smile Von frowned for a second but still kept the tray of the food in his room and left.

Zick ate the dinner which was still felix root just like he ordered, This time he didn't even think that it tasted bad.

Finishing his dinner, Zick directly started sleeping in his bed without any hesitation. 

Tomorrow his tutor will be coming so he couldn't wait to find out the information about the outside.
