Ps: I made a month long data log but I summarised them into this month's last week's log.
Monday- Sword fighting lessons with Francis Midford
The first lesson of the month was very impressionable.
I could hardly contain my surprise that Ciel invited his mother-in-law, Marchioness Francis Midford, to teach us sword fighting.
She was a famed swordswoman and currently still a formidable sparring partner. Despite being married, she still kept herself up to the regiment because of her well-toned body and her sharp gaze. I salute her for having such a dedication.
He entirely forgot that he had arranged an appointment with her in the morning. So when Sebastian worked him up and run him through the day's appointments, he panicked the moment he heard of her name. It wasn't until she arrived an hour earlier, did we realised why her presence warrant such a ruckus.
As it turned out, she was a person who has little tolerance for tardiness.
To start off, she sent us on gruelling warm-up exercises that could make a grown body builder wept in shame and an intense sword fighting session that would make any professionals' dazzling sword fight pale in comparison. Even if I wasn't human, I could feel my muscles turning sore under the torture to the point of feeling like a jelly. Throughout the whole session, she was extremely strict and concise about her teachings, never compromising and making short cuts for us.
Of course, I was extremely fortunate to meet Ciel's fiancée, Elizabeth Midford. Ciel was... extremely surprised to find that she knew how to wield a sword. And that's why I literally threw the girl to Ciel to have some couple time.
It was plainly obvious to bystanders why the girl didn't tell him she was a prodigy at swords yet pretended to be naive and weak to be protected.
Naturally, Francis was upset that I wasn't conscious of the code of conduct expected of a lady when she saw me doing that. Nevertheless, she knew how important this moment was for the young couple.
So as a mini revenge for what I did to her daughter, she used the excuse that she would be coaching me and have her capable prodigy daughter to coach Ciel.
Let's just say that I respected and hated her at the end of the day.
Tuesday - Magic training This is my most favourite training because using magic was certainly a lot easier than wielding weapons. Well, in my opinion. Of course, I knew the rationale behind using ordinary weapons. There are always situations when magic would be totally useless in non-magical Worlds and against high magical resistance objects.
We had Ciel sit out and watched Sebastian, Mike and I have a mock battle. The reason why we asked him to do that was so that he could train himself to sense the fluctuation of magic in the air before we temporarily change him into a demon. He had his servants, Meyrin, Finny and Bardroy to set out a beach table and chairs with an umbrella propped opened to shade him from the blazing sun.
So for the whole duration of training, he was literally sitting down there, leisurely sipping his Earl Grey tea while observing us.
I was so jealous of Ciel that I made sure some of my attacks "accidentally" fell on him. Needless to say, he wasn't amused by my antics when he was doused with water from the remnants of my magic, "Rain delights". (An ironic magic spell that summons a small patch of grey cloud and make that cloud rain. This reduces the visibility of the opponent or simply used to prank on someone. It is INEFFECTIVE to be used for battles.)
Wednesday - Physical Training
