Chapter 7 :Self Training
Ank woke up early in the morning,after waking up saw the same ceiling once again.
He stood up from bed ,moved outside from the house and picked up a wooden stick and started swinging .
Ank did not do training for eons ,he did not remember many things about how to do training .
But he did not lose confidence.
He started his training without any master.
He didn't want to wait for Quests to unlock .He already started building his physical strength.
After swinging for many hours, Ank started running all over the Village to increase his stamina.
Many villagers notice him and ignore him after watching his status.
Some children also made fun of Ank by saying look at the boy one of the children said.
He was weak even though I could beat him.
Another said in a mocking tone yes we can beat him very easily.
Why was he very weak?
Look, he was running all over the village since the morning .He was like an idiot running here and there.
Some village said while seeing Ank.
Many commented on him and many insulted him but he ignored all of them focusing on gaining power back first,In his mind regaining his power back was only thoughts.
After many hours of running he returned to the house of old man Arthur.
He saw that Maya was training with a sword and she was trying to master basic sword techniques.
Ank had not used sword for eons ,only lifting his finger can solve all his problems,he totally forgot everything about the Sword ,about every weapon .
He rarely used weapons after becoming Emperor of the Universe,Now once again Fate was pushing him to use weapons.
While watching Maya Ank thought of an idea and started watching Maya more carefully ,he watched all his moves ,how she controls the sword , how she reacts quickly ,how she maintains his posture.
Maya was in training mode ,she didnt use sword much that his grandpa forced him to learn at least basic sword technique for defence.Maya half heartily agreed and started his sword training once again while training he noticed someone was watching her.
When Maya gazed shifted on Ank who was watching him.
She quickly moved to him with one moment and appeared in front of Ank .
Ank didn't had time to react and once again from this he remembered how weak he had become .
Maya quickly asked why are you watching me like some stalker.
When Ank heard he did not react much with maya saying him as stalker and replied calmly ,I was just watching our sword move and wanted to learn how to use it.
Oh I see, said Maya by narrowing his eyes .
Now you watched ,so leave me. I have to train ,I am not like some one that can lose to a seven year old boy.Maya commented while smiling.She was enjoying teasing Ank very much.
Ank ignores him again and moves from her and picks a wooden stick and starts moving like Maya did earlier.
Maya was astounded for a moment by seeing how Ank copied his move easily .She took five days to learn this moment and Ank immediately learned just from watching.
After watching him for some moment trying to find out whether Ank knew sword basics or not ,while watching sometime she understands that Ank didn't know anything he quickly learned for her ,she picks up his wooden sword and starts training.
She did not understand why he was wasting his time on training. He was very weak. He should give up on the idea of becoming strong and move on,only copying my move cannot help him.
I will ask him at dinner,she thought.
Ank sometimes watches her and copies his moves for himself.
While the swing sword and copying maya moved, the sun was set and night had come, maya had already left to prepare for dinner but Ank was still outside swing sword .
Arthur watched Ank for a moment and called ,Lets go Ank ,dinner was ready .
Ank heard arthur voice and moved towards bath after bath he moved towards dinning room to eat dinner
At dinner time ,Ank was sitting and eating food while Maya looked at him and said why do you want to become strong?
Ank was surprised by the questions but he immediately replied I want to become strong to protect me and live in peace.I am very weak. That is why I want power not for dominance but for peace.
Maya thought for a moment and said while smiling ,you know dominance was out of your lead .
Maya ,stop making fun of Ank,Arthur said
Okay grandpa ,I will not tease him anymore.
Ank i had last questions for you ,why you were so weak.
Ank knew he cannot tell his real identity to anyone,he made an excuse and said i didnt know ,i cannot remember my memory.
Ank already made an excuse to arthur by saying i cannot remember why i am here.
Arthur knew Ank was lying but he ignored this details and said to him that you can live at our house until you find your aim.
Maya heard this and said from tomorrow morning you can come with me and train with me.
If I am in the mood I will teach you one or two sword moves,but I will tell you that it all depends on my mood ,so I cannot guarantee you.
Ank nodded and said thank you
After dinner Ank returns to his room and falls asleep immediately.

After waking up in the morning,he noticed the notifications.
At least I am now stronger than tomorrow.
I have to keep doing it until the quest is unlocked.
Ank has at least one month before the system gives him quests to unseal his power.
He knows quests will not be easy ,so he had to build his body until time came.
In the morning he trains with Maya , Maya teaches him some moves sometimes, In the afternoon he runs around the Village to increase his stamina,in the evening he once again trains that he learns in the morning.
After dinner,he slept
Old man Arthur watched Ank daily how he is improving but he cannot help him ,he had limited time and he did not want to waste on helping someone over prioritising his family time with Maya.
He once did help someone over his family and his son died ,the guilt he had that he had a chance to save him but he did not do was the reason he didn't want to help anyone anymore.
But slowly he started liking Ank's attitude ,his stubbornness,his confidence of never losing ,his hard work but his hand was bound and at last he decided that he will help him but for a limited time .
He remembers Arthur his younger self .he was same as Ank .
Every morning he saw the notifications.
