Chapter 51
I then started to run as fast as I could for a couple of minutes before I paced myself to conserve my energy so that I could lap the entire woods without getting exhausted. I failed a couple of times before I actually got the hang of it, but once I knew what I needed to do, lapping the entire woods became a piece of cake for me. “Come on! Is that all you got?” I shouted while I was running through the forest. For the first time, I felt free, like I wasn’t bound by chains on my body and soul. Like I was my own master, with no one else to serve. It felt so good, and I was feeling the euphoria rushing through my veins as I kept on running and running until I got a little tired.
My stamina has surely improved since the last time I ran. This was the perfect place to test my agility since it was quite long and huge. During my fifth lap of the woods, I felt like someone was watching me from behind, following me, looking at my moves. I was a little keen observant of my surroundings, and then I just stopped in the middle of my run to see if someone or something would attack me.
I was ready for anything, even if they were bigger than me. The adrenaline rushing through me was giving me the power boost I needed. I wasn’t afraid, nor was I nervous. I was just ready to face the world.
Then I heard it, and something was sneaking near the bushes on the side, then something came out. To my surprise, it was just a cute white little rabbit. The adrenaline almost immediately wore off the moment I realized that there was no threat.
I let out a deep sigh, and I was hoping that it would be something that I would be able to fight since I was urged to test my skills and how good I was in combat during a real fight. But I guess this just wasn’t that time.
I just continued my run and went back to where the hidden entrance was. I didn’t get lost since, on my first run, I was dropping branches to serve as my markers so that I don’t get lost in this forest. I was still concerned about the one that was lost here, but I completely forgot all about that the moment the sweat started to kick in, and I started to focus on gaining, not losing.
It’s been about thirty minutes since Greco left me her. Should I just wait for him? Of course, but if I did wait for him, Asthrid might wake up at any moment now, but then again, she usually wakes up at ten in the morning, which gives me plenty of time to get back and get dressed.
So I thought to go back instead to get dressed to practice again but in my human form. Since I can’t exactly use the maid uniform I was wearing earlier to train, or else I might stain them, and I’ll get scolded by Asthrid again. That’s literally their use to protect me from getting dirty, but I can’t even wrinkle them, or I will face her so-called wrath.
And so, having left with no other choice, I just sprinted back to the venue in my wolf form to be as fast as possible. While I was running, I felt that I was way faster than before, I was still training back home in secret, but I was nowhere this fast when I was running there. I guess the training with Fravis paid off. I saw some significant improvements in both my physical and mental form. I could somewhat replicate Fravis’s ability to observe everything in my surroundings at once, and my speed, agility has improved. This means that will be enough training, and I’m sure that I’ll be able to top some of the Alpha family members when I do encounter them on the bad side. But for now, I’d rather have them as an ally since I don’t quite know what some of them are capable of.
Sprinting back to the room was like a breeze to me. It only took me like a minute to get back compared to when me and Greco were jogging in our human form earlier.
The first thing I did when I got back was to check up on Asthrid if she was awake or not. When I couldn’t find her in the living room, I just headed straight to her bedroom with caution. And there she was, still sleeping like a baby. I sometimes fantasize about executing her while she sleeps, but all I know is that if I did that, she must have done something bad to me to make me resort to that cowardly tactic.
Once all that was settled, I then got dressed and just went back to the woods from earlier to train again since Asthrid was still sound asleep. I just assumed that she would just wake up later.
I got back to the woods in just under ten minutes which was quite good for me
Krisna’s POV
I was back to training in no time. Even though I was all alone, I just remembered what Fravis taught me and practiced those moves and routine sets. I even invented a new power move all by myself, which was an achievement for me since this was the first time I trained without Fravis supervising me from afar. It felt weird since I sometimes thought that he was just in a tree somewhere looking over me.All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.
Then suddenly, I heard someone walking on the path on the way here. I thought it was just some wanderer, so I hid and waited for them to pass by since I didn’t want to be caught doing my training here. I was about to jump on the man when he entered the forest.
I was a little shocked since he knew the secret entrance because he just stepped right in with no hesitation whatsoever. I also couldn’t see his face since he was wearing some kind of hoodie, and I couldn’t smell who it was either. It seemed like he had erased his smell, which seemed quite impossible. But maybe I really haven’t seen it all.
