Chapter 22: Hellish Training
The following day, under the clear sky, Atticus stood within the training grounds, his anticipation mixing with the crisp morning air.
The Ravenstein training grounds sprawled across a vast expanse of land, nestled within the heart of the family estate. The grounds themselves were meticulously designed to accommodate a variety of training exercises.
At the center of the grounds, a large open space was designated for sparring matches and combat drills. Here, warriors engaged in controlled combat, exchanging strikes and techniques under the watchful eyes of experienced mentors.
Nearby, a collection of training dummies stood in formation, each constructed with sturdy materials that could withstand the impact of powerful blows. Warriors would practice their strikes, honing their precision and strength. The dummies bore the marks of countless hits, serving as a testament to the dedication and skill of those who had trained there.
The advance training facilities are reserved for only a select few, so guards and other warriors of the Ravenstein family use this grounds to train and hone their skills.
Before long, Sirius walked onto the grounds. As he approached, he started speaking
"Listen up, kid," Sirius began. "We're going to start with some ground rules. Rule number one: My words are law. Rule number two: You'll be here before 6 AM every day and wait until i arrive. Rule number three: No using the advanced training facilities until I say so. Got it?"
"Understood". Atticus answered immediately.
"Now, we're starting with light training drills. And since you're awakened, no mana usage allowed. Let's get moving!"
The following hours were a grueling test of Atticus' stamina and endurance. He was pushed to the limits, running, sprinting, and performing drills that seemed to never end.
Even though his awakened abilities provided passive enhancements to his physical stats, the training was nothing short of brutal. At one point, he collapsed to the ground, his chest heaving as he gasped for breath.
Sirius allowed him a brief respite of two minutes, a small window of recovery before Atticus was once again thrust into the demanding regimen. Push-ups, squats, and a variety of exercises that pushed his body to its breaking point followed. The sun climbed higher in the sky, casting long shadows across the training grounds.
The next day, Sirius crafted a rigorous daily training regime for Atticus, designed to mold him into a formidable warrior. Each day began at dawn, with the crisp morning air serving as a backdrop to their intense sessions. The training encompassed a holistic approach, focusing on both physical prowess and mental fortitude.
*Physical Conditioning:* Atticus engaged in intense physical exercises to enhance his strength, speed, and endurance. These sessions included weightlifting, sprinting, agility drills, and cardiovascular workouts.
*Mana Control:* A crucial component of Atticus's training was mastering mana manipulation. Sirius guided him through intricate exercises to harness mana for both offensive and defensive purposes. Atticus learned to channel his energy efficiently.
*Meditation and Focus:* The training day concluded with meditation and mental exercises. Atticus delved into mindfulness techniques, honing his ability to maintain focus even in the heat of battle. These practices cultivated mental resilience and clarity, vital attributes for a warrior.
Sirius's training regime demanded unwavering dedication and discipline. Each day, Atticus was pushed to his limits, compelled to surpass his previous achievements.
This continued everyday until 4 months passed. Atticus found himself standing in front of Sirius once more, his body covered in sweat but his expression calm. The hellish days of training had transformed him, honing his physique and mental fortitude.
He had adapted remarkably, his awakened potential allowing him to endure the grueling routine with determination.
As he stood there, he reflected, 'Thank the heavens I awakened. Without it, enduring this hellish training would have been impossible.' Even without actively using mana, an awakened was inherently more powerful than an average person. That makes them have more adaptability.
Sirius' approving nod acknowledged Atticus' progress. "Good job, kid. You've come a long way. Now, it's time for the next phase. Today, I'm going to introduce you to our magic system."
