Chapter 45 - More training (1) (1/2)
(MC's POV)
”Today, I will take your training up a step further. With the recent addition of Historia, all three of you have now met the minimum requirement for becoming stronger.”
It's been more than 6 months since the Historia's incident, and in just 3 days, a year would have passed since we have joined the Cadet.
After the end of each day, I would open up the time chamber to let the girls in. Mikasa and Annie would only train for 24 hours before stopping. After that, they will study the physics behind their power to make the most use of them.
Historia had also joined in with the training. She was already more than 3 years behind the progress of Annie and Mikasa, but with my help, she trained thrice as hard as the other girls. I have also given her the power of the Founding Titan and unlocking her titan's power in normal form.
Unlike Mikasa and Annie, she is much less talented, but she makes it up by practicing diligently. Fortunately, she has the royal blood in her vein, which made her compatibility with the titan's power unrivaled.
In other words, for each day she trains, she would yield 3 times the result of Mikasa, but that is if you only account for her energy manipulation. Her fighting talent was actually just above average. And so her training regimen for the past 6 months was:
1 day of training of energy manipulation and control.
1.5 days of physical training to make a sturdy body.
And lastly, half a day of theory.
-
And in these past 6 months, she had made incredible progress. The total energy reservoir within her body is now almost half of that of Mikasa's and Annie's. Her physical strength, though, is commendable, is still a long way from being as strong as Mikasa and Annie now, and worse, the gap is not closing but widening instead. The same goes for her fighting talent and instinct, which is still only above average.
But that's alright. She is currently much, much strong than an average human. Heck, in her human state, she can already effortlessly beat up a titan shifter. In fact, in that small body, she can lift something weights up to 5000 tons, which is about a third of how strong Mikasa is.
”As you all know. The reason for why you are strong is due to the fact that your strength came from the titan. As for the titan's power, it came someone else named Ymir Fritz, who is also known as the first titan. She... also got her power from something else, a parasite to be exact.”
”So, without the titan's power, Mikasa, you would only be able to lift 10 tons at most. Annie, you would be 9.5. And Historia, you would only be at 2 tons.”
”Then, what does this mean? Well, basically, all this entire time, you have been borrowing energy from that parasite. That thing is the real source of your titan's power. In a way, it's actually quite beneficial. It's like a beginner course where there are simplified instructions. You are gaining a lot of necessary experiences by taking this course, but at the same time, it limits how far you can go.”
