Preparation 2

The next day, Early in the morning we were eating our food. It's been 2 days since I have been into the novel [ The way of the hero]. I have been here for 2 days now and I was having the days of my life. I have been provided with everything I want. Except for one thing, I don't have any problem that is-

'Who the hell studied from 4 tutors at the age of twelve? Man, this sucks, One old man comes after breakfast, One after lunch, One in the evening, and One at dusk. For some odd reason, I can even read and understand all. I have to remove at least one tutor.'

That was what I thinking and the sudden duke called me I replied to him with as usual 'yes father' and a fake bright smile.

"Richard today you will meet your sword instructor, And I'm removing 2 tutors so it doesn't burden you."

I wanted to remove those old men anyway but they removed without me doing anything. it's seen like luck is on my side. I happily started to eat again suddenly I heard the duchess shout.

"What the hell do you think you are doing? He is just twelve and you want him to learn the sword. Did you finally lose your sane?"

"You are overreacting and Richard wants to learn it."

Duke said with a calm and low tone. Then duchess blue eyes were on me.

'Someone please save me.' I thought while prying in my mind.

"Is that true Richard?"

"Hah a Y-yes mother, It's my wish to learn the sword. I have been interested in swords, So can please learn swords mother?"

Duchess was silent for moments and seat down and started to eat her food like nothing ever happened.

"Make sure you don't get hurt or overdo yourself."

"Yes, mother."

They don't have a good relationship it seems. They are my new family so it hurts a little that they don't have a good relationship with each other. Maybe their marriage was political. That is the only reason I think because high ranking Nobels are bond to have political marriage and that marriage doesn't have love. They don't even have a reason to be together because they have me.

Breakfast was finished and no one talked. I went to my room and took my notebook to see all my plans.

( 1 Year of sword training and collect all the monthly allowance for an escape to the west continent. On the way to the west continent get the charm necklace, Instead ring, and Element earring. Then collect power and items from the West continent.)

If I can get all those things done by year, I will try 1 year as an adventurer then return home and stay here 1 year.

"If I work hard for these 3 years then I can easily spend the rest of my life here with no problem since the war will start very soon. But it's a problem, Novel was not finished it was ongoing so any plot can happen in the future but if I'm strong enough to avoid the problem I will enjoy my life here as duke." I said and closed my eyes. It will be hard in 3 years but I have to work hard.

At the noon I meet my new sword instructor. His name is Conor, a Knight of our family. His appearance is the traditional knight of the novel tall muscle body short heir and light dark skin and Brown hair.

"Young master, I have to tell you first that my training will be hard and we will start training from sunrise and you have to get up early from now on."

"You don't have to worry about it Sir Knight, I will do anything to learn the sword."

"I hope that you can keep your word young master."

From that day I started my sword training with my instructor Coron

2 MONTHS LATER

__________________

Sun rised and I opened my eyes. It was hard to get up at sunrise for a couple of days in the beginning but now is ok with me. After getting ready for today's training I got to the training ground for knights. I reach the ground and saw my instructor and knights are already there.

"You are late today, young master."

"Sorry, It took me so much time to prepare today."

"Please be don't late from now on. We all knights were waiting for you."

"I keep that in my mind, So do I have the same exercise?"

"Yes, Young master. 10 Rounds of ground with us and 20 Push-Up, 20 Sit-Down, and 300 Swing on a dummy with the sword. You need to get stronger physically so then you can learn the sword."

"Thank you for waiting for me. let's start."

It's been 2 Months since I have been training. In the first 10 days, it was hell for me I could not even get 5 rounds of ground but now I can almost match with them. I can easily do Push ups, Sit down, and sword swings. My sword training will start after gaining some strength.

6 MONTH LATER

After finishing my routine I was in Infront of the mirror, I gained some muscle and got taller.

"It seems like I can push a little more. Should I use my favorite anime training routine?"

After thinking for some moments I refuse that idea because I don't want to be bald at a young age. I asked Alberu to buy some potions for me I hope father accepts them.

1 YEAR LATER

It's been a year since I started to learn the sword. I'm not strong as knights but I'm above the average. I'm tall and had a strong body for someone at the age of 13. In this one year, I collected all of my allowances without spending. I have collected a total of 500 gold coins. I can use the money on my journey.

"This much should be enough. I have to leave here before my birthday."

The birthday party for Nobel is annoying. All the heirs of noble families and Big shots will come and I have to act like I'm happy.

"Ugh, Just imaging it makes me annoyed."

I will leave for the west next month.
