Side Chapter 1 - Ramon's Story 2 'The path to getting stronger 2'

Streams of blazing sunlight fell through thick walls of tree leaves, filling up the training courtyard. Rays of lights tumbling upon the back of the strict swordsman instructor guiding the small 3-year-old on how to properly distribute his weight throughout his body.

"You are 2 centimeters too far"

"1 centimeter too close"

Even though all Ramon hears every day when he trains were nitpicking and lecturing, he understood that it was to bring the best in him, making sure he succeeds in inheriting the sword of Veria. He also never became discouraged simply because even his father, the one whom he looks up to, only perfected the sword of Veria when he was 18.

The reason why Levis was only able to fully acquire the sword of Veria when he turned 18 was that it was then that he stopped growing height-wise and gaining weight. Even if he did gain 1 or 2 pounds, Levis would have been able to adjust his weight accordingly regardless.

"Yes, that's right Lord Ramon, that's the perfect distance for your current body! Now please maintain that pose for 10 minutes"

The instructor asked Ramon to keep his body still at that pose to make his whole body understand and remember what the feelings feel like.

A child staying still in an uncomfortable squatting-like-position for 10 minutes was full torture, but that was the only way to quickly achieve results! Not only does this torture trains your body, but it also trains your mind to be zen. Being overly too excited, angry, or having fluctuations of emotions would completely ruin the way oxygen circulates throughout your body, and would break the complete form you are in.

"Make it 30 minutes."

Taking a glance at the instructor, he quickly went back into focus. Completely stripping his mind of any thoughts and feelings. Because once he perfects this basic position with his current body mass, can he finally move on with real training.

"Alright, Master Ramon"

Naturally, the instructor was very happy with Ramon's enthusiasm, however, he did not any hope for a 3-year-old to maintain that pose for too long, as even 10 minutes was already pure agony. Besides, It was scorching summer, not to mention, Ramon had to be holding a hefty wooden sword while in that pose.

Already, his skin started to take on a glossy shine, as the sun became relentless on him. Salty drops of sweats started dripping from his forehead, into his eyes, yet even with his eyes feeling a slight burning sensation did he not dare to take his mind away from controlling his breathing, and like that, he overcame the 10-minute mark surprising the instructor greatly.

"Kukh"

Only when his emotions became severely agitated, did he drop the wooden sword onto the ground, releasing himself from the form. His whole body completely drenched from the amount of sweat he racked up; hair, shirt, and short trousers stuck like glue to his body after 20 whole minutes.

"Haah"

Breathing a lungful of fresh air in, his tensed body automatically relaxed. Yet all Ramon could feel was a sense of loss. He was incredibly afraid of what happened at the Royal palace and especially his useless self. He felt guilty of being the only person to escape from that situation.

"Master Ramon, you did a good job, holding your pose for 20 minutes! I would recommend ending the lesson today and continuing again tomorrow."

Already incredibly proud delighted by the jump in Ramon's training growth and the vigorous determination in Ramon's eyes, he recommended they stop now. Overtraining might lead to a decrease in performance, and destroy Ramon's young body.
