Chapter 09 - Muscle, The Symbol of Masculinity (2)
‘This is physical training!’
Lumian wore a deeply moved expression.
This was not stamina training. It was physical training. That slight difference brought a tremendous sense of emotion to Lumian.
In his days as an old knight, he had focused more on accumulating and handling Aura rather than training his body.
He had no choice. It was because his physical potential was remarkably lower than that of other knights.
Ѐ n ŭ ḿ ă
Without testicles, the source of a man's strength, one could not see proper results even if they did strength training.
It was a painful truth. Despite being a man, he had to carry the same penalty as female knights.

Watching his fellow knights who laughably caught up to his years of grueling effort, Ryan Promhart had thrown away any expectations for his physical strength.
‘I did reach a certain level with just endurance, precision, and my ability to utilize Aura, but······.’
He couldn't help but feel a lingering sense of regret.
But now, the situation had changed.
Ĕn̈u m̌ ӑ.ïd
A young body of fifteen years. His manhood was sturdy, and his testicles were sturdy too.
It meant that masculine power was overflowing. Lumian smiled brightly as he looked at the exercise equipment.
‘This new body is great!’
However, his focus was a little strange.

It was not the anticipation of being able to become a more excellent knight. No, of course, it was not that he did not have such thoughts, but at least that was not the main focus.
‘In this life······ I can build a great body!’
E nu̇ m̂ а. і̄ ď.
Lumian began to fantasize.
Broad shoulders, firm pectoral muscles, and abs so hard you could do laundry on them!
You could say these were the essential elements of a popular man.
At least, that was the case based on his experience in his past life. Especially as women got older, their preference for men with good bodies became even higher.
“First, let’s start with a light warm-up. If you don’t stretch properly, you can damage your ligaments and joints. Not just now, but always make sure to keep them loose!”
Professor Arnold, who had spoken energetically, demonstrated in front of the cadets.

Despite having muscles so bulging they would startle an ogre, his body was incredibly flexible.
Lumian nodded. For a knight, flexibility was one of the most important virtues. He diligently followed Arnold’s posture, his eyes sparkling.
‘He’s working hard. His name was······ Lumian Calard, wasn't it?’
Professor Arnold watched Lumian.
He was a boy who had always seemed to lack energy. He remembered how last year, he had acted while cautiously watching his surroundings, as if he lacked confidence.
Being the type who could not leave someone dispirited alone, he had even given him special guidance on the side a few times. Each time, the boy would make a face as if he were about to die at any moment, becoming the butt of the other children's jokes.

‘That’s why I didn’t approach him after that.’
He had been considerate, thinking that the already timid boy would have an even harder time.

But today, something felt a little different.
First of all, his gaze was different. Unlike before when he had the eyes of a rotten fish, the current Lumian was looking at him with such focus that his eyes seemed to shine.
The reactions of those around him were also subtly different.
Before, he would have seen kids who would avoid his gaze and poke or snicker at Lumian. But now, there wasn't a single one of those nasty brats.

Instead, he could even feel something akin to anticipation in the eyes of the kids who were glancing at him.
Arnold made an interested expression.
‘Did something change during the vacation?’
It certainly seemed so.

He still did not know what had changed.
But whatever the change was, he was certain that it would have a positive effect on Lumian.

Arnold grinned. As his rugged face contorted, the children shivered, but he paid them no mind.
“Alright. From now on, we begin the real training! Your records are all written down here, so don’t even think about faking it!”
“Ugh······.”
“I think I’m already getting nauseous······.”
The children whispered in quiet voices. Although he heard everything they said, Arnold paid no attention.
A moment later, under the guidance of Professor Arnold and the assistants, the hellish training began.

“Seven!”
“Nnngghh!”
“Eight!”
“Nngggghh!”
“Nine! One more left!”
“Aaaaargh!”

“Alright, let’s do two more. You can still squeeze out more!”
“Aaaaaaaaaargh!”

“If I assist you, I bet you can do five more, right? Push a little harder! Keep your body tense!”
“······.”
It was truly a terrible sight. The cadets in the training hall continued the arduous and tedious training while under the sharp eyes of the assistants.
They had no choice but to work hard. It was because Professor Arnold personally sought out the children who were exercising half-heartedly and assisted them on the side.
Е ǹ ů m̂ ӓ
The cadets who received his merciless guidance had to endure hard training that made them see stars. Some cadets even threw up into buckets in the corner.
Watching those kids, Professor Arnold chuckled heartily.
“You brats, you think you can become knights if you can’t even endure this much? Building up Aura is important, but if your body isn’t the foundation, you’re only half-baked! Do you understand?”
“Yes······.”

“Look at those voices. I’ll ask one more time before I extend the class! Do you understand?”
“Yes!”
Ẅе̂ b̆n̆о́vӗl Ӗnùm̄ а̇
“You. Yes, you in the back, the one avoiding my eyes. Your voice was the smallest, so I’ll have to give you special guidance.”
“H-Hiiik!”
The freckled boy whom Arnold had pointed out made a frightened expression.
Of the many, many professors at the academy, he was the one who feared Arnold the most. That was why he had tried so hard not to stand out, but in the end, he could not escape his clutches.
The freckled boy whimpered like a cow being dragged to a slaughterhouse. The children around him pitied him, but they looked away, worried that the attention might turn to them. And they pretended to be engrossed in their exercises.
At that moment, there was a cadet who approached Professor Arnold.

The professor’s eyes widened. He called the cadet’s name.
“Lumian Calard, is that right?”
“Yes! Thank you for remembering me, Professor.”
“Right. What is it? I’m busy right now since I have a cadet to instruct.”
As Arnold glanced over, the freckled boy trembled.
Regardless, Lumian paid it no mind.
Е n̄ um ӑ.i d̈
And he said something no one in Class E could have ever imagined.
“I’m sorry to interrupt, Professor. After you’ve instructed that cadet, if you have some time, would it be possible for you to teach me as well?”

“······!”
“······Crazy!”
“Shh!”
Low gasps erupted here and there before being quickly suppressed. The cadets stared at Lumian with expressions of disbelief.
W̌е̄ b̊ nоv е.l̄_ Е ñu m̆ а̀_
No, he’s asking Professor Arnold for guidance himself?
He’s doing something that crazy?
It was a thought that occurred in everyone’s mind at the same time.
“Hoh, is that so?”

Professor Arnold stroked his chin.
This kid, he has definitely changed.
W̄е̌ b̂n o v̌еl̂ Е̃ṅ um а.
Other than growing a little taller, his appearance had not changed, but at least his mindset was a world apart from last year.
He could feel the determination in his eyes. It did not seem like he was saying it out of a momentary whim.
‘Interesting. It’s fun to push a kid like this.’
“Alright. I can’t refuse the request of a cadet who has shown courage. Hey, you there! I’m sorry, but I’m going to have to help this kid first. Any complaints?”
“N-No! It’s fine!”
The freckled boy answered briskly. There was no way he would have any complaints.

He was thus rescued just before being devoured by the tiger, and Lumian took his place.
‘What is he really thinking?’
Pretending to work much harder than before, the freckled boy peeked at Lumian.
He thought Lumian had volunteered because he was confident he could endure Arnold’s guidance, but that was not the case. To anyone’s eyes, the boy looked like he was about to die from exhaustion as he lifted the equipment.
‘It seems his body hasn’t changed, despite him getting so much stronger.’
In fact, the weight he was lifting was lower than his own. Suddenly, the boy felt beatable, but when he recalled the events of the morning, his confidence plummeted.
Е̌ nû m̄а̄ . і d
Damn it, that guy. It’s obvious he got his hands on an elixir during the vacation and built up a ton of Aura. It must have been super expensive, how did he get it?
After grumbling internally, the freckled boy turned his gaze away. That unlucky bastard, he hoped he suffered for a long time—that thought filled his head.

“Twelve!”
“Hmph!”
“Thirteen! Don’t rest in the middle!”
“Hup!”
W е bn о̆ vе l Е ṅ ùmа
“Fourteen! Inhale in between! Before you puke everything inside you out!”
Just as the freckled boy wished, Arnold pushed Lumian relentlessly. His ragged breathing, flowing sweat, and contorted expression spoke of his condition.
But Lumian did not give up. He completed the amount of exercise Arnold demanded to the very end without cutting any corners.
“Hmm, it's about time.”
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
“Hooo.”
Until the class time was up, Arnold spent his time instructing only Lumian. Relieved that they had not become the sacrificial lamb, the children hurriedly left the training hall.

But Lumian could not. As he lay exhausted, Arnold threw a question at him.
“How was it, bearable?”
“Pant, pant. Yes, hoo, it was!”
“Hoh, really? Then I can stick by your side every week from now on, right?”
It was a statement that would have made other children shake their heads in terror.
But Lumian did not do that. Instead, he nodded his head as if he had been waiting for it.

“Yes! It’s an honor! Hooo, I will work hard!”
At this point, even the unflappable Professor Arnold could not help but be surprised.
He revealed his true feelings frankly.
“A kid who seemed so feeble and lacked spirit has returned as a completely different person after not seeing him for a short while. Is it really an honor? Is someone perhaps threatening you to do this?”
“Hoo, hup. There’s no way I wouldn’t be happy to receive personal guidance from the renowned knight, Professor Arnold. I look forward to your continued guidance and encouragement!”
Lumian said with a determined expression.
Е̃n ǔ ḿà
His desire for a cool body was immense. If it meant he could be popular with women, he could follow a training regimen ten times harder than this.
He had actually done it before. After all, what had completed him in his past life was not a bit of talent, but endless effort.

“Pfft-heh-heh. I like it.”
Looking pleased, Professor Arnold laughed out loud.
He patted the shoulder of Lumian, who was still collapsed on the floor, and spoke.
“I’ll be looking forward to next week too. Stretch diligently so you don’t get hurt, and use your Aura to increase your recovery rate. Got it?”
Ê nu̇ṁа . іd
“Yes, sir!”
“You have a good voice for someone lying flat on his face. Hahaha.”
Following the history professor, now Professor Arnold too. Another person had come to think highly of Lumian.
It was not just the professors.

The cadets of Class E also talked amongst themselves, seeing a Lumian who was completely different from before.
“What happened? Did he really eat an elixir or something?”
Е n̊u m̊å
“Does that make sense? How could a mere countryside baron get an elixir? Besides, you can’t even digest an elixir properly unless you have considerable skill. If your body can’t accept it, you could become a cripple.”
“Maybe he ate it with the feeling of making a gamble? As for how he got it······ I don’t know about that either.”
“Aside from that, his vibe has definitely changed. He wasn’t a kid like that before······.”
“Damn it, if only I could get my hands on an elixir too!”
“But are you sure it was Lumian who did that to the kids who went to the infirmary?”
Surprise, bewilderment, envy, and more. Various emotions swirled among the cadets.

The biggest emotions were jealousy and envy. When the failing student who had been at the very bottom of the class suddenly showed outstanding performance, the children reacted with disbelief.
Rumors circulated that the ability he had raised with an elixir was just a bubble and that he would show his true colors soon enough. There were also kids who said they did not like how he acted so smug during class.
However, around two weeks after the semester started, they all had to admit at least one thing.
‘He’s working incredibly hard.’
The amount of effort. And the quality.
That was the biggest change in Lumian as seen by third parties.
