"Okay newbie, change in training schedule, You'll be working with Leon everyday for two weeks."
Brandon says as Leon gives him a glare. "Why do I have to babysit Beth?" I correct him and say it's Seth,
his response was that he didn't care noob so I gave him the middle finger and he gave me two middle fingers back.
"Guys focus."
Brandon says after snapping his fingers twice.
"Leon I want you to do weight lifting training with Seth, get him accustomed to it three times a week, and when you two feel confident I'm deploying you two out into the field."
Leon groans as he looks annoyed at me. "If you want to live then keep up."
Leon says as he goes back to his room. "Anton, Penny for the next two weeks you're on town patrol,
I want Fountain Inn,
Simpsonville and Mauldin patrolled and keep a eye out for any shipments."
Penny says right and Anton nods,
Brandon tells me my training begins now with Leon so I head on into his room and see nothing but work out machines and dumbbells and a bigger leather couch, a king sized bed and finally a 70 inch plasma screen tv.
Leon waste no time getting me started on dumbbells, he had me pick up a 5 pound dumbbells and start curling my biceps for twelve time the put one arm behind my back and lift straight up working my triceps. This process repeated until I'm lifting 25 pounds, still curling,
I'm grunting,
my biceps and triceps screaming with each lift,
Leon has me put them down and he puts me on the tredmill for a 5 minute run.
Sense I'm a bit out of shape in the gut department,
after the 5 minute run even my legs were tired.
"Good workout rookie, have a rest on the floor there."
I crash on Leon's red fuzzy carpet and take off my shirt hot and sweaty,
Leon makes us a protien shake then tells me he's making a eating plan for me and expects me to eat it.
That day we spent it watching anime in silence before he ended up asking me how long am I going to stay in his room, so I bowed out and Penny occupied the rest of my day watching housing shows and stuff. Next day Leon invited me back to his room and we worked out chest muscles and back muscles followed by another run and healthy eating,
we finished the day watching more anime and even hit the shower room together, even though this is purely training I can feel the type of man Leon is.
He's seen so much death of people he's close to that he shut his heart off to those around him, he's afraid of opening up again and being vulnerable,
so he makes this tough guy persona. "You've seen so much death haven't you?" I ask from my own stall, bathing my body with soap and a rag.
"What I've seen isn't important, just focus on training and keeep improving, never settle for mediocrity when working out. The stronger your body becomes the stronger your runes become, the stronger your runes become the more lethal and useful you become. Right now you're living with us purely because you have potential, if you prove your worth then you'll be seeing a paycheck weekly."
Mmmmm pay does sound good, rather then pursue the topic further,
I back off,
I know when I struck a sensetive cord, the next day I had a day of rest.
I needed to take time to recover my muscles, I had keep my arms and legs bent all day they just hurt to keep them straight. I had to take another day to recover,
I guess Leon noticed just by my walking so I soent it with Penny again,
by this point we're having casual conversation,
she mainly brings up topics with me such as training with Leon or Anton but this time she brought up Brandon Yeets.
"Did you know Brandon Yeets was a hundred and twenty seven years old?" I looked at her shocked, if demons exist and can use these magic called runes then it's not out of the realm of possibility for a demon to be much older then the human life expectancy.
"Geez he looks good for a hundred and twenty seven years old."
Brandon himself walks by the couch and temporarily joins the conversation from reading his book.
"Still technically a young adult by Artificial Demon standards, still very much in my prime. Sense you're a Artificial Demon like us, your life span is two hundred years so you're both in your baby stages of youth heheheheh."
