5 Zebro! (2/2)
”Look, kid, I seriously doubt that they will train you even if you could make it onto the property. They keep their work in the family for a reason, blood is thicker than water. If they don't have any reason to trust you, then they won't trust you at all. I don't want to send you to your death, so please don't make me.” Wow, he's such a good person that I'm feeling bad for asking him to do this for me. I will still ask him to train me though.
”Even if I don't get to receive training for the Zoldycks, I still want to train with you so that I can open the gate. Anyone who can open even the First Gate is incredibly strong. Please Zebro-san, Will you help me? I need to be stronger than I am now. Much stronger.”
Zebro sighed. I could see the reluctance on his face. ”I'll train you if you promise you won't do anything that will get you killed, Deal?” Yes! That is exactly the answer I needed!
”Yes, I agree. As long as you train me to open the gate, I won't do anything I know can get me killed!” I did it, half a day of waiting and I did it! Finally, I was starting to think this trip wouldn't be worth it. ”So, Zebro-Sensei, when do we start?”
”I suppose we can start now. Just wait here while I go get a weighted vest for you. Wear it all the time except for when you sleep.” Zebro walked away, presumably leaving for the house so he could get me a vest. I sat on the ground patiently while waiting for him to return. This will be good.
After 10 minutes, Zebro returned, vest in hand. ”Here, put this on.” He said while pa.s.sing me the vest.
As I put on the vest, he started to speak again, ” I'm guessing you don't have a place to stay out, so you can stay with me and the other gatekeeper, Seaquant, while you train.”
”Thank you so much!”
”Don't worry about it. Just do any exercises you normally would for now. The real training is to get used to the vest's weight while living a regular day, including exercise.” I already figured that much, though there was an actual training montage in the anime.
Now then, it's time to train.
