Chapter 9 ~Training~

I have already confirmed that there is a system regulating jobs, but some adjustments are needed.

Since we eat a lot, most of the Saurians are hunters, always working. Half of the Saurians take this job. I would be lying if I said that most of them are males. A quarter of saurians works in the industrial area, only males. The rest are tailors, herbalists and guardians of the village and the borders of the northern forest.

Back to the system:

1. Every saurian is guaranteed to have a place in their parents' profession in the future.

2. However, if both parents are willing for their children to choose another profession, then they can do it.

3. But if there is only one place left and many wants to take it, they fight for it. Talent doesn't matter.

Oh, and in my case, I chose to be a Hunter, since it's already written in my status. I will start training with father soon, but my mother is secretly teaching me tailoring, which got added in my status as a skill.

Ilis' father is a hunter too, and like me, she also wants to become the hunter. I wonder why...

But it will be good if we even somehow manage to cross the south forest. We will spy on humans and we won't be separated.

Before I start training walking in the swamps, I must first learn how to keep my balance and strengthen my muscles, like father said. I can now understand the language, but still can't talk much. I'd often nod to answer.

"Azarrar, you need to learn how to keep your balance". I nodded.

"First, stand on one leg. Stand up, straight, eyes and head forward. Bend one leg and lift your knee to the hips. Hold this position for 1 minute, then close your eyes and keep your balance for 30 seconds. Repeat this three times and then change leg. You will also have to stand on this wooden pole".

I wasn't allowed to utter any word during the training, so I simply nodded. I could barely fit on the pole. Standing on one leg may seem easy, but the reality is different...

I fell more than once... but in the end, I managed to do it.

"Secondly, the martlet. Stand with your legs together. Bend your trunk forward, and at the same time, lift one leg in the air. Your torso and leg need to be parallel to the ground. Hold that position for one a minute and change leg. Repeat this three times on each leg. You will do this on the pole too".

Again, I fell down, even more than earlier.

Without a rest, the father explained me the next exercise... Cruel...

"Third, lunges. This time, I will show you".

I already know what it is, so it's even better.

"But we will make it harder".

Of course...

"Take this weights in your hands". When father handed them over, in an instant, I fell on the ground. How much they weigh?

"It's only 5 kilograms".

But I can't lift more than 1 kg...

I somehow managed to stand with them, but my legs were trembling as if they break at any moment, just like my arms. It hurts like hell!

After three runs of 10 seconds, only standing with them, a blue window popped out, which made me fall down.

+1 to Strength and Endurance, for hardworking.

"Repeat everything 10 times. Later, we will start to strengthen your muscles". Woohoo...

I'm dying... I can't... can't grasp... breath... everything hurts like fucking hell!

"I see that you're done". Turning back, I saw my father with two wooden swords looking like a chopper and a backpack, which he leaned against the tree.

Father threw a sword at me and took a stance. "First we will test how good are your reflexes".

Without a time to prepare, he attacked, which shocked me. I barely managed to dodge, but I could feel a slight cut.

"Not bad, but to improve, attack me".

Without hesitation, I attacked diagonally, but my father blocked it with ease.

"Again".

We repeated everything for nearly 2 hours, then we stopped. He didn't say a word. I lowered my sword to rest, but in an instant, my father knocked it away, as I started feeling how my hand and my whole arm went numb.

Stolen from its rightful author, this tale is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings.

I saw the sword pointing at my throat.

"This is what happens when you lower your sword during a fight. For now, we will end the training”.

Yes! Finally!

"But you have to wear this backpack and do 10 laps around the village."

Woohoo... but despite all this, I must become stronger. I overheard my parents talking about monsters getting stronger and of course, I will be the one standing on them!

"When you're finished, you are free to go." I nodded and with determination, I went to pick the backpack up, but I couldn't. My father already disappeared.

+1 to Strength and Endurance, for training.

I somehow manage to wear it, but it's heavy as fuck... nearly 15 kg. Each step was constantly accompanied with pain, but with every step, I could also feel that I was getting stronger.

Instantly falling down when I finished, I didn't know if I blacked out, but lying on the ground was one of the best feelings so far. I stood up, and slightly shaking, I went home. 

+ 1 to Endurance, for running.

+1 to Strength for carrying weights.

My mother was waiting for me with a warm meal. I'll have to hug her later on. Every bite tasted like heaven! Like if I was eating ambrosia!

After the meal, I checked my status.

Everything is how it should be. It made me smile, how quickly I managed to get stronger, in only one day!

I started to secretly train on my own. I will go with 50 squats. After this, I will go with sit-ups, see how much I can do and then I will end with push-ups. In the end, I made 50 squats, merely 10 push-ups and 19 sit-ups. Long way to go... but I will achieve 100 in everything, without getting tired! 

+1 to Strength, for working out.

I didn't expect that there would be seconds, minutes, hours and so on here. The monument of Ilixochit in our village is also a sundial. Currently, this is spring, the year 1119. Everything is similar to our world, even the days in a year! It helps a lot.

My mother called me out...
