[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…!"

Benladann was surprised, as her entire body began to exude an aura of pure mana.

"Good… Relax and try to gather it inside once more…" I said.

"Yes… Ah… It is so heavy…" she muttered, the Mana quantity inside of her Mana Veins was incredibly dense, feeling "heavy" for her to control.

"Use your will… You can do it… The Mana is made for us to use it, bend it to you will," I said.

"To my… will…" muttered Benladann, as her eyebrows furrowed. contemporary romance

Suddenly, the aura of mana exploding out of her body began to lower down.

Little by little…

Until it was finally all the way back to her body, flowing through it.

What a talented girl…

"Excellent work. Let's continue meditating for a few hours," I said.

"Very well!" said Benladann cheerfully, it seems that she had grasped something about Mana Manipulation.

[Day 42]

Today we woke up rather well.

After yesterday's mana cultivation training, Benladann's body felt healthier than before. It was mostly because she had finally managed to make her Mana flow through her body naturally like all living beings in this world.

It seems that she felt so tired after doing exercise because her body was completely emptied of Mana, all her Mana was simply inside of her Mana Core.

But after opening various Mana Veins, she constantly nourished her body with mana and was able to do all exercises without breaking a sweat.

So I intensified it up to x4! And even then, she wasn't that tired either… Amazing. Mana is really what's up in here huh.

So today she woke up all cheerful, so happy that she resembled a morning sun… She is my morning sun I guess.

Eh? What did I think? No, forget that!

"Drake, let's cultivate again!" she said.

"Haha, I see that you're cheerful. Did you had a good sleep?" I asked.

"Yeah… I dreamed that I met with mama and papa again… And you were there! After that, we all traveled the world above your back," said Benladann.

"I see… Let's make sure that it doesn't stay as a dream, alright?" I asked.

"Really? Would you let them mount your back?" asked Benladann.

"Well… if they're your parents, it is fine," I said.

"You're so nice… Thank you, Drake… Now I know that I have to grow strong so I can one day met with them… So we can get through the forest and the… dangers we might one day face…" said Benladann.

"Well said! That's the spirit, Benladann! Very well then, time to cultivate some more," I said.

"Alright!"

We began to meditate once more, while our Mana flowed everywhere.

Yuki had now joined us in the training as well, she was pretty good at cultivating mana and sharing it too as I taught her well, she was probably soon to become Peak Stage.
