Training breathing techniques, spellcasting, and proper swordsmanship—or any weapon, really—was important.
But building the body was just as crucial. Physical exercises brought even greater benefits than they did back on Earth.
Here, the mana in the atmosphere seemed to accelerate muscle recovery and overall strengthening. People who trained daily became powerful in the long run.
William could've done that too—but he was lazy. Not someone who compared himself to others.
He had an incredibly powerful bloodline that modified and strengthened his body naturally. Rebo and other more "normal" mages didn't have that. For them, training was essential. Non-negotiable.
Rebo was completely worn out after finishing all the push-ups William had asked for. His only desire was to collapse on the ground and do absolutely nothing.
"Rest for ten minutes," William said. "After that, we've got squats, sit-ups, and a run to finish the day."
"My god…" Rebo groaned.
