Elias: Master! Im ready to train!

Traveler: Before I can teach you the way of the blade, you first need to train your body.

You will have to increase your speed, strength, endurance and agility.

Elias: This isn't a video game...

Traveler: But that's the truth, without getting stronger, you cant be ready to wield a blade.

Elias: *sigh* So what do i need to do

Traveler: Carry this 100kg weight 10km away from here

Elias: WHAT?!

*A 100kg weight belt appears*

Traveler: I know you are fast, but you have to become faster

Elias: *puts on the belt* God this is heavy, wait... FOR 10KM?!?!!!??!

Traveler: Yes.

*Elias sighs and starts walking*

Traveler: You have to run!!!

*Elias starts running*

*An hour later*

Elias gets to a red line and sees Traveler

Traveler: And you'll do this every day. Then *he teleports both into a castle* You'll need to carry these stones to the top of the castle, then bring them down *they both teleport to a Cliffside* And then you shall meditate for 3 hours

Traveler: Then you'll have to train your precision with a wooden blade on a dummy

Elias: A-All of this???

Traveler doesn't respond and teleports away

Elias: Breh

*Elias is teleported to the castle*

*He starts carrying the stones*

*After he is done he is teleported to a Cliffside and meditates*

*After he is teleported to a dummy*

*After he is done, it is 8PM*

Elias: I feel destroyed...

*He repeated this for 6 months, which felt like 6 years*

Traveler: You have been good, now every 6 months I'll test you, you'll have to race with me to the end of the 10km track, once you beat me, you'll be ready

Elias: Okay!! Wait, YOU TELEPORT!

Traveler: Yes I do, you'll have to beat me to instant Teleportation

Elias: A-

Traveler: Ready?

*Elias got ready*

Traveler: Go!

*Elias dashes forward, he crosses the 10km in about 5 seconds*

*And Traveler is there waiting*

Traveler: If i were to compare you to a snail, i would be the speed of light

Elias: H-Hey!!

Traveler: You're still too slow, I'll test again in 6 months

*After a year and a half*

Elias was so fast he left behind shadow like after images, still not enough...

He couldn't make after images, but only leave behind shadows.
