As soon as Ryu fell to the ground, Roland went forward to catch him. He wasn't sure what had happened, but it wasn't time for that.
As this happened, the braces which Ryu was wearing glowed red and as this was happening, and Roland quickly took them out from him.
The braces are only supposed to be worn when one starts some training or workout. But for Ryu Roland wanted to make them a daily necessity.
It appeared he was in some hurry.
He quickly brought him back to the house. Amilia was in the kitchen. As soon as she saw the boy, she got worried.
"Ryu!!" she shouted as soon as she saw him and came towards him hastily.
"What happened to him, father?" Amilia asked, worryingly.
"It's nothing, he overexerted in his training and collapsed from fatigue. He will be fine after some rest," Roland answered, making Amilia calm.
Seeing her child in this condition was difficult for her. Although this was not the first time this had happened, she would never want to see her child suffer.
After putting Ryu on his bed, Roland was thinking about what to do next.
He knew Ryu had already broken through the body-strengthening realm, so shackling him here was not an option anymore.
But letting him go outside was not a wise choice either. This was a major risk for him because he was still a child.
The world is not a happy place for the poor or weak. And Roland was not sure if Ryu was ready for it yet.
After thinking for a while, he decided to wait for some time. He left after thinking for a while.
In the evening Ryu woke up,
*Yawn*
'It was a good sleep!' Ryu thought as waking up.
'Wait!! sleep? why am I sleeping? Shouldn't I be practicing?' it clicked to him and he got up from bed.
Then, trying to remember what has happened, he remembered.
"Yes, that's right! I was strengthening my body, and then I completed the first strengthening. After that I Passed out!" he spoke, getting a little dejected.
"Why do I always pass out? What happens if my family needs me and I am sleeping there while not doing anything?"
He said while getting a little annoyed as every time he tried to do something; the result was always him knocked out.
"Am I cursed with dizziness or what?" he said aloud.
'No, I need to make sure I increased my bodily limits. That is the only solution I can think of!' while thinking this, he started walking out.
After coming out, what greeted him was a hug from his loving Amilia. earlier she was a little stressed, but now she happily smiling and was proud of her son.
This was because she found out that Ryu had finally broken through the body-strengthening realm. This was the shackle that bound her entire life; now her son had broken this shackle so early.
She was truly happy. When she found out that he had broken through the next realm, she thanked Roland, even though the latter spoke that they did not do anything.
she also thanked the heavens for giving her a wonderful child.
This made her all worries for Ryu's future fade away. In the beginning she was very worried when she came to know that the potential Ryu has is very poor.
But now, after Roland gave her the news that he had stepped into the Body strengthening realm, she can take a breather.
After calming herself down a little, she let him go. As seeing this Ryu asked, "What happened, mother?"
Hearing this, she wanted to tell him, but held herself back. She did not want her child to know that he was the reasons of her worries.
"Its nothing, you must be hungry. I'll bring you food in a minute."
she spoke as changing the topic and going towards the kitchen.
After some moments, she brought the food. It was still just plain food with vegetables and stuff, but Ryu never complained.
For him, this was the best meal in the world, as this was the only meal that was made from love.
Although he had once eaten some meat, which he liked very much, he did not dislike simple meals.
As eating his meal Ryu asked," Where is Grandpa?"
"Oh, he went out for something," Amilia answered while sitting in front of him as she was looking at him smilingly.
Ryu was getting a little uncomfortable. he was not accustomed to someone watching him like that.
After completing his meal, he started going back to his room.
While walking towards the room, Ryu's focus went towards his hands, and just now he noticed that he was not wearing any braces.
"Where are my braces? I will have to ask grandpa about it"
Thinking about this, he went to his room.
After some time, Roland came back, and this time he also had a new item with him.
It was a big item and was wrapped in a cloth, but if one simply glanced at this, they would know what this was.
It was not that he did not want to tell Ryu, but this was the weapon he brought for Ryu.
As hearing that Grandpa has come back, Ryu quickly came out.
Just as he saw the cloth, he understood what this was. This was the weapon His grandpa had brought him.
Ryu was very happy seeing this weapon. Roland walked towards Ryu. After coming in front of him, he handed the weapon to Ryu.
Seeing this, Amilia and John also became happy. This was a different type of weapon. Although generally someone in the body awakening realm uses the Common step low tier weapon low.
They did not have any weapon suitable for Ryu.
While handing the weapon to Ryu, Roland spoke, "I never thought this day will come this sooner." After taking a pause, he said,
"From tomorrow, your martial art training will start"
