Chapter 3: Grueling Training

After the intellect training, the first week was about physical training and I pushed my body to the limits but felt agonizing pain for the whole week and didn’t want to do that again. But slowly I grew stronger and was able to lift 30 kg easily and was able to have more power in punches and kicking. I thought the next part of training couldn’t possibly be as hard as this but then my grandfather said the next part was to learn while doing splits.

The pain of doing splits was extreme and the class was just fit enough for my knowledge level so after each day I could hardly even walk. After I got over the pain, however, I could jump higher and could also run faster and I had noticeably more intellect than before and when I was done, I sighed a breath of relief.

There was anxiously another training session to go and I was ready to prepare for the worst in the magic session. And just like I thought it was going to be painful, it was. I had to draw for several hours with a spiritual pencil to draw a perfect symbolic hexagon and then I had to cast it into the flames in just the right place and then out came a jade symbolic hexagon that flew to my chest. I screamed in agony and couldn’t get it off.

My grandfather said after it cools down, I would have the power of magic.
