A new life

Part 9

Hello all and welcome back to the 9th part of my story. Thank you all for reading.

Arthur's POV

I heard the huge amount of training that I'd be doing in the mornings and almost fainted. I looked at the monster in front of me wondering what kind of psycho would make a training regime that hard.

"What is wrong with you!!" I shouted at him.

"what?" He said with a confused look that infuriated me even more.

"ARE YOU TRYING TO KILL ME?!!" I raised my voice even louder this time.

"Relax, you'll get used to it in no time. I did when I was younger" he said with smile.

"I'm not a monster like you!" I said wondering what kind of hell he crawled up from if that was his required workout.

"Then I assume you don't want to get stronger then?" He said as I couldn't think of a response and walked off to do this workout whilst wondering what I did to bring this onto me.

After completing the workout, I struggled to move as every step felt like I was being stabbed, i eventually reached where he was to see him roasting some meat, making my stomach growl. I came closer and sat down in front of him with a defeated look as I saw him take out a bottle that was exactly the same as when I was injured fighting the elder wood guardian, as he put a drop on the meat.

"Eat up" he said passing the whole chunk of meat towards me.

I devoured the meat in a matter of minutes as I felt my fatigue going away whilst he smiled lightly at me. I revelled in the taste of the meat as well as the fact my hunger subsided as I looked back to see him smiling again in a way that said more hell was coming.

Oh no.

"Now that your all fed up let's begin part two of your physical training. Let's work on your technique" he said as my face fell in despair.

"Can't I rest for a bit?" I pleaded thinking that he was going to kill me with what was next.

"Nope" he said smiling as my hopes of rest vanished in the wind.

"Come" he said as I got up and followed him to an open field area.

I looked at the area and thought that it was a good training spot as I saw that uncle Jin woos shadow fluctuated as a tall figure wearing armour  with a long black sword at his side.

"What the hell is that!!" I shouted pointing at the black creature.

"This is one of my abilities, it allows me to extract the souls from dead creatures and turn them into my soldier. This is Igrit, the strongest and most experienced knight in my army and the one who will be training you for the next 2 and a half years" he said as I continued to stare at the towering giant thinking that I'm going to die.

"Where will you be?" I said after collecting my thoughts.

"I have business elsewhere so I'll leave behind some necessary things for survival" he said as a ring appeared out of thin air.

"Also, for the holy water of life only one drop needs to be added for each meal otherwise the mana inside will kill you" he said as I checked the storage ring to find lots of materials and ten bottles of the holy water of life.

As I was checking the ring I noticed him speaking to the shadow knight and to my complete shock it responded, albeit in a different language and a rough voice.

"Well then I'll be off" he said as he disappeared from the area to which I was no longer shocked from this.

I saw a wooden blade appear out of the corner of my eye as I caught it and locked at the night to see him in his stance holding another wooden sword. I got into stance and leapt at the towering knight.
