Chapter 16 Training Hall
Chapter 16 Training Hall
Max strode toward the outer part of the Garfield Manor. As it was the residence of a Viscount, it was very big. It has a big and grandiose residence where the Garfield family lived, Quarters of Knights, Guards and Maids, gardens with trees of different kinds and many more facilities.
The training hall was one such facility. It was where knights and guards trained in the morning. Until the previous owner of the body hadn't known that his aptitude was too bad, he also used to train here.
Therefore it has been a few years since he last visited the place. He spent almost all of his time in the library reading books or in his garden taking care of the plants and flowers he planted.
Thus, Everyone was very surprised to see him see going into the training hall, moreover at this time.
"My lord!" A sound could be heard from outside of Viscount Ashton's study.
"Come in" An indifferent command sounded.
A middle-aged man who looked to be in his forties came inside. He was wearing black long pants and a white shirt with a black necktie. He bowed in front of Ashton Garfield in a submissive greeting.
"What is it, George?" He was the Butler of Garfield manor, George.
"My lord! Young master Maxwell was seen going in the training hall. I think young master wants to train himself." He said in a little excited tone which was unlike his character because he was usually strict and stern and didn't show any emotion on his face easily.
Ashton who was still busily looking at some documents suddenly stopped. "Really?"
He was pleased hearing this. His most beloved son, Max, had lost his confidence in himself when he came to know that his talent wasn't any good and stopped training altogether.
He as his father was always worried for his son. If only Max tried to work a little hard, he could help him become at least a two-star mage through his resources but Max didn't show any interest so he too was helpless.
So it was good news that he again visited the training hall.
"I just hope that he doesn't lose the will to become stronger. The world is not peaceful anymore." He mumbled to himself.
...
...
It was quite a big circular building which had a huge hall and various types of equipment were placed here and there.
When he entered the hall, the keeper of the hall who had the duty to take care of the training hall and was a two-star mage, came forward to greet him.
"Good evening young master. How come you are here at this time? Do you need something?" He greeted him curtly and inquired.
"Good evening elder. It's nothing. I just came to do some exercises. You continue doing your thing. Don't mind me." Max also greeted him and waved his hand as if he was some fly. He behaved this way because he could clearly see that he has no respect for him, so why should he show him.
When his so-called best friend made fun of his feelings by doing what he did just before he died. He instantly knew that all the time he treated him as his best friend, he never did the same.
His usual remarks which he used to dismiss as jokes were in fact his ridicule. He now decided to treat everyone based on how they would treat him. For example Lilly. She had shown him utmost care and a distinct feeling of love. Therefore he decided to treat her with love and care.
The elder was dumbfounded by this. It was because Max has never dared speak like this to anyone and would usually keep quiet and ignore even when someone mocked him, But he quickly collected himself and excused himself.
Looking at him swagger forward like he was the king of some kind the elder muttered under his breath "What attitude for a piece of trash!" he scoffed and busied himself and no longer paid any attention to him.
...
...
Max stretched his body for a few minutes to get better control of his movements and then went to lift some weight. He wanted to check his strength because a while back he wasn't even able to lift Lilly for a while when doing pleasure exercises.
There were different weights ranging from twenty pounds to two thousand pounds 'Can someone actually lift two thousand pounds?.' Max thought but he quickly shook his head with a very smile. Of course, they can lift more weight. Reason? This was not earth where mortals resided. This was a magical world and most likely everything possible here.
He straightened his back and squatted down to lift a fifty pound.
He lifted it with ease. He then proceeded to increase the weight and finally found his limit at one hundred and twenty pounds.
*Phew!*
He let out a deep breath. He was happy with the results as he thought it was quite good for an 18-year-old to be able to lift one hundred and twenty pounds. Moreover, he still had many lust points remaining. He can just increase his strength attribute some more if he needed.
He then tested his other attributes one by one. He did some speed drills to evaluate his agility, he ran at his full speed for a few minutes to check his stamina. As for his vitality, he could already feel himself a lot more healthy and energised than before. His skin which was sickly pale previously now had its paleness disappeared. His face also had a healthy glow.
After doing different kinds of exercises as tests, he finally concluded that now he was 'Normal'. Yeah normal! Although he was stronger, faster and healthier than when he woke up in this world, he was only comparable to a normal human being.
'For now, this is good. I should familiarise myself with my body first, after that I'll see slowly increase my attributes. Now... it's time to put all the remaining lust points into mana.' Max decided and opened his stat screen.

He then tapped on mana repeatedly and put more than half of the lust points into mana. When he tried to increase his other attributes by one or two points, he was startled as this required him to spend one hundred lust points just to increase one attribute point, therefore he decided to put all the remaining LPs into mana as it still needed only ten LP for one mana point.
In a few seconds, he was done. He could feel a mist-like substance swirling around him and entering his body out of nowhere. It was a nice and cool feeling. 'This is mana huh.' After no more mana was there he looked at his stat screen.

"Nice!" Max exclaimed after seeing his mana points increase by a lot. "With this much mana, I should be at least considered a novice mage right?" He pondered.
