Pov Elsa Frostine
Bang!
A light clash of swords occurred in the training room.
In the middle of this place, two people could be seen; one was gripping a sword by its hilt with their right hand, while the other girl was with dead eyes, with small bruises on her arms or body. Although she was dead tired, she refused to let go of her sword, holding it with her hands; her eyes caught a dangerous glint.
Running towards her worst and most terrible enemy, her eyes had a single objective: to land a single strike on his body.
As if her life depended on it, she gripped her sword even tighter, adrenaline rushing through her body.
Though somewhat clumsy, she performed a diagonal attack. VIssiT for the best novel reading experience
Bang!
Watching how her worst enemy blocked it so easily, as if it were of no importance, she furrowed her brow, retracting the sword, taking a few steps back to make another attack, changing pattern, she moved her sword downwards for a low blow.
Bang!
Blocking it the same way as before, I can feel the strength leaving my arms, my whole body starting to shake, feeling as heavy as steel.
Dropping the sword, I fall to the ground.
"Huufff...huuff."
Trying to get some air into my lungs, I took a deep breath. A shadow fell over her head, looking up she saw Anthony with a slight smile.
"For your first day, it's not that bad. If we repeat this kind of training for 1 month, it will definitely give results," Anthony casually commented, stroking his chin with his hand.
A cold sweat ran down my face, with just today, I already feel like I'm dying, I don't think I can endure all of this.
"Here," Anthony handed me a small recovery potion.
Grabbing it quickly, I drank it eagerly. I quickly felt the strength returning to my body, the exhaustion that had been eating me up inside disappeared completely. Feeling completely renewed, I stood up with a smile.
I was about to leave this place when...
"Where do you think you're going?" Anthony asked with confusion in his voice. "We can't waste a single gold coin; we still have plenty of time before our time here runs out. Go back and keep running until you can't anymore."
I felt my soul leave my body, like a soulless puppet accepting my destiny, I start to run...
"Of course, as you should have known, I was extremely weak a few months ago; my father's right hand helped me with my training. Of course, he was much harder on me, and I always ended up on the floor with my eyes rolled back. Basically, I'm teaching you everything I learned from him," he says with a furrowed brow.
The previous week, Anthony told me that I have talent for the sword; I can go down this path without problems. This means that I'll be able to achieve aura; I was so excited that I almost cried with joy. He told me that after a battle, although my progress isn't the best, he said I still have 3 more years to prepare for the imperial academy, not to rush.
"It must have been difficult," I comment with a touch of amusement; it's good to know that I'm not the only one who went through this suffering.
"Hahaha, how resentful you are," he says with a little laugh.
"Hmph, after all, I also have pride, and always ending up on the floor is very embarrassing."
"If I were you, I'd start getting used to it; sometimes, just accepting the truth is the best option."
After our little chat, we continue with the training. Needless to say, I ended up once again lying on the floor, completely exhausted.

We leave the guild; the sky has turned dark, it's already night. Whenever we enter, the sun is just rising on the horizon.
The streets, as always, are so lively and full of people everywhere. Although my body, thanks to the potions, is full of energy, mental fatigue is a completely different thing; overexerting myself will only harm my health.
Anthony mentioned that his master never let him consume potions, unlike me.
So it can be said that my training is easier than his.
Arriving at the inn, we go straight to our room. At first, I remember that the idea of having a man in the same room made me nervous; at home, I had a room for myself, and my butler was a woman; most of the people I interacted with were women.
With time, and with everything we've been through in the forest, it undoubtedly reinforced my confidence in him; he has never done anything to make me feel uncomfortable with his presence.
After taking a refreshing bath, I feel as if my mind relaxes automatically. Anthony was next.
For snack time, I ordered exactly the same thing as Anthony: it was 3 servings of meat with a small amount of rice and salad, a glass of juice, and one of coffee. I feel like I'm eating a lot, but my body needs it; besides, I'm still in shape, so it's not so bad.
After resting from the meal, we bid each other goodnight, thus spending another day in this city.
