[Day 41]

We spent most of yesterday training physically, I made Benladann push her body to her very limits until her muscles were all burning!

For a giant, she had a very slim and thin build, so if she doesn't build up more muscles, her heavy skeleton will end up giving her all types of health problems.

The first thing she did was squat.

Her gluteus, her legs, and even her biceps worked up a lot there, all those muscles were burning, and I was able to kind of see how they worked up through Analyze.

Benladann's face was twisting around as she gritted her teeth while exercising, I can see that she wasn't used to this at all…

I felt a bit sorry, but this is what I call tough love! So after squatting came sit-ups, push-ups, and then we ran one kilometer.

I wasn't tired at all, but she got super tired…

After that, we had dinner and she went straight to bed, but she had a lot of cramps, so I had to teach her to stretch out after and before exercising.

Today, she woke up quite tired.

”Muh…”

She was sitting in the chair before the ice table, eyeing the warm wolf milk.

”Drink it, it is pretty creamy,” I said.

”Ugh… I feel like I am about to die…” she sighed.

”Hah… Maybe the training was a bit too much?” I wondered out loud.

”A bit?” she asked while glaring at me with a bit of anger.

”I mean, you have to train your body even if you don't want it, Benladann. This world is harsh, you must grow stronger both physically and magically. And through Mana Veins growing healthier the more you develop your physical body, both magic strength and physical strength are connected together. You can't ignore neither of the two!” I said.

”Hahh… Okay, okay… I get it…” she sighed.

”I am… sorry for forcing you, but I believe it is what is needed,” I said.

Benladann sighed again as she glanced directly at my eyes.

”I understand, Drake… I am just being too conceited I guess. I will try my best…” she said, giving me a mild smile.

She's really a devoted girl!

”Good girl!” I said, petting her head.

After Benladann drank her milk and ate a roasted wolf steak (not from our pack), she asked me to train Mana once more.

”Alright, let's see if your Mana Veins are any loosened today…”

I began to pour small rivers of blue-colored essence, mana, which entered her body and flowed through her being.

Benladann was sitting in front of me while closing her eyes, she was trying to concentrate on the task.

Flash!

Suddenly, I perceive that one of her Mana Veins opens up, it seems that the exercise we did yesterday made her body a bit better than before.

I pour mana into this Mana Vein, which begins to open up like a flower, blossoming inside of her body beautifully. The rivers of ethereal blue essence grow longer and denser.

Flash!

Another Mana Vein suddenly opened, and I made sure to pour more Mana into it. The more it grew, the more the other closed up Mana Veins began to slowly open.

It seems that the first one that opened up created a chain reaction, and many are opening at the same time!

”Uwah…!”
