Training (2)

After yesterday, which was supposed to be a relaxing day that then turned into a business day, it was finally time for my first training session with Monica.

I arrived at the fifth-floor training room at 7:00 am, which now that I think about it, no teacher ever used apart from Monica, which makes me think that this was added just for the training of the main characters.

But I didn't care.

The training room was an empty large room with nothing on it, as it was only used for training.

I started to stretch and only a few minutes later, Monica came into the room.

She looked at me and put a huge grin on her face.

'I have a bad feeling about this'

Monica then walked up to me and said.

"I told the others that today's training will begin a little later so we can have some alone time", She said.

"T-that's great, haha"

She then went on to explain telekinesis, its weaknesses, and more, she also explained the basics of magicians and magic, where the amount of mana didn't matter for a magician if he didn't have magic control and all of that stuff.

"With that in mind, the training is actually pretty simple", She said.

I nodded my head and waited for her explanation.

"So the biggest counter to telekinesis is either another telekinesis user or a magician with higher mana control, the reason for this is because the most basic technique against humans or living beings as a whole is to cover the enemies body with mana, and launch its body against something"

"Uh-huh"

"So the training today will be me covering you in mana and you trying to retaliate to my magic, with your mana and if you fail I will throw you against one of the walls, of course, I will go a little easy on you, understood?"

I didn't have any choice so I said, "Yes".

She then put on a huge grin and muttered, "This is for disrespecting me, kid".

'Oh, I'm ******'

I sensed Monica's mana surrounding me and I tried to stop it by controlling my mana and covering my body before hers could but I failed.

*Boom

I felt my bones crack and before I knew it I was already at the wall upside down. I felt as if my whole body wasn't working properly, I have felt the pain from the [Mhingseng] and mana exhaustion but this time, it hurt like hell, I wouldn't be surprised if I had some broken bones.

But before I could say anything, my body started to float to where I was standing before and Monica then released her mana around my body.

She explained that I shouldn't try to cover my body in mana but try to stop her mana from advancing by using my mana control, she said that even though telekinesis is powerful, the mana surrounding an object needs to fully coat it to be able to use telekinesis on it.

So with that, she said we should keep going. I tried to retaliate but.

*Boom

...

Yesterday, Ciel had given me an expensive potion that she had brought. She said it would help me regenerate my stamina and heal my wounds which were pretty much non-existent at this point.

I was able to stand up but it was still hard to keep myself straight, Noel who saw me then came to support me.

"While you are fine now, it was only yesterday that you were finally able to wake up, so you should relax a little", She said with a worried expression.

Ciel who was standing in front of the door was nodding at Noel's words.

My sister who was talking to the doctor then said.

"Leave him be, he has always been like that", To which I had no option but to agree considering how much trouble I caused for my sister when we were young.

While I did appreciate all of their support and care, I always get stuffy and annoyed when I don't do anything so I wanted to go outside.

"Sorry, but I want to get some fresh air", I said while smiling.

Everyone except the doctor let out a sigh and then Ciel and Noel helped me walk out of the room.

I already checked my status and it was true that I had gotten the skill [Judgement], as that kid said.

it was currently 11:24 am, so there were no students in the hallways. After thinking about I decided to ask Ciel and Noel.

"Shouldn't you guys be training right now?"

"Ah, no, Monica said that she would let us have some free time before practice to come see you", Ciel responded.

Noel followed up with, "Yeah, we still have 5 minutes before the assigned time".

I thought about it, and it wouldn't be bad to go now and see them train. While also observing the new partner in our training group.

So I said, "Should we go up then", To which Noel and Ciel nodded. Sister said she would go to buy something and left the three of us alone.

We soon arrived at the training room on the fifth floor and when we opened the door we heard something really loud.

"AAAAAAAAAACK!", followed by a *Boom.

Monica then saw us and waved her hand at us.

And in the place where the loud boom sound came from, there was a little kid with ruffled clothes and an exhausted face.

Monica then noticed our concerned expression and said, "Don't worry this is just training".

Then we heard a voice coming from the almost dead body.

"What do you mean by training, you old hag, if it wasn't because of my clothes having the resistance trait, I would probably not even be able to move right now!"

Then his body levitated into the air and was sent across the room to the other wall.

*Boom

Without even caring about the kid she just sent flying, she looked at us and asked me something.

"Anyways, shouldn't you be in bed, Arthur?"

"Aha, I was coming here to see the training and get some fresh air", my gaze then drifted towards Keith who was face-planted against the wall.

"That's great, then as usual I will be attacking you guys, but since Arthur can't participate, let's have Keith be part of the team", She said with a bright smile.

Keith who was still face-planted against the wall didn't move and when Monica noticed, she brought him near her using telekinesis and noticed he was passed out.

She let out a chuckle and just threw him next to me and said it will only be Noel and Ciel, for today.

The boy next to me was no bigger than a middle schoolboy. He had white hair that was covered with a large beret hat, that was almost too big for his little head.

He was wearing full black, with a black shirt, black sweater, and black pants for training that all had the branding of [Elegante].

I did remember him having red eyes because it was a trait hard to forget, but I couldn't see them right now, because he had his eyes closed.

In front of us, Noel and Ciel were defending against the attacks from Monica, although the main way of fighting for Monica is to cover the enemy with telekinesis and send them against a wall, in this case, she is using telekinesis on different blunt weapons and attacking Noel and Ciel, from all sides.

After 20 minutes or so, the doors to the training ground opened up and Alicia came into the room.

Everyone turned their attention to her, and she lifted a bag up and smiled.

She then looked and me and said, "I brought you some painkillers just in case"

She then walked up to me and gave me the bag. She looked to my side and saw the body of Keith who was worn out and passed out.

She smiled and sat down next to him while putting his head on her legs.

I stared in suspicion.

Monica and the others also came close to Alicia.

Monica had a big grin on her face, and the other two had curious expressions.

my sister who noticed the stares then blushed and said, "There is nothing going on between, yes, nothing, it was just that he looked a little uncomfortable so I decided to lend him my legs, yes, it is just that"

She seemed to be trying more to prove herself than to the others.

The others put huge grins on their faces and started asking questions about how they met and more.

My sister wasn't really the romantic type, but she did like cute guys a lot, back then, although most of them were just two-faced people.

Well, she did get better at judging people as time went on, but if I didn't protect her back then, she could have probably ended up with a disgusting person.

Then Monica clapped her hands and everyone back to training, but it was only after around 5 hours, that we noticed that Keith wasn't getting up so we took him to the infirmary right away.
