The Adventures of Rose Hood

Chapter 109: Dawn of War

Over the next two days I worked out and got back into shape.

"Is she bench pressing a boulder?"

"Yes... yes she is."

"I think she should take a break."

"Feel free to tell her that. She's a workaholic."

"I remember one day she was so panicked because something prevented her from working that she nearly worked herself to collapsing. I had to yell at her to calm down."

It's almost as though they thought I couldn't hear them.

"I'm also training so the next time I meet Kalgero I can win."

I threw the boulder up and leapt into a one hand handstand and caught it with my leg.

I started to do pushups.

"I was barely strong enough to keep standing. I need to beat him."

"And somehow you think crippling yourself with these insane exercises will make you strong enough?"

"Yes."

I threw the boulder and swapped both hand and leg. I continued to do pushups.

"Holy crap, she is strong."

We already showed Amanda that Kala was Heather, her reaction was much like Amy's.

Crying, hugging, acceptance, and now I trained.

"I need to get even stronger."

"I think your punch using your body alone could crack the world in two."

"Eh, I still need to be stronger."

"Why?"

"Because magic doesn't work on him. He is the only elf with not a drop of magic."

This surprised Dallel.

"Not a single drop of it?"

"None, so he could resist magic. In a fight with him, it is purely physical."

"He sounds strong."

"Indeed, actually, Gabriel even said that he could take on 600s."

"That is powerful."

"Now you see my predicament."

I dropped the boulder and flipped into a sitting position.

"A monster that strong is a singular commander. The others are likely similar to that in strength. Not to mention the leader."

"Yes, and their leader was Regala's mate, she had even higher standards then Thalia, so we can infer from that alone that he was powerful."

"Elren, the heck do you mean I have high standards."

"I've heard you describe standards to my daughter. If I went by those standards, I'd still be looking for a mate."

"Hmph."

"Both of you suck, now can we be serious?"

""Fine.""
