Pedrarruna Manor, Elffire City.
5:54 AM.
"Let's stop here." Theo said as he stopped in front of the house entrance to the backyard.
Aurora, Ayia, and Shizuka immediately stopped and started breathing tiredly as sweat strolled down their beautiful faces.
Even though they did not have any problems running for so long at that pace, they still were not immune to the fatigue.
They were a little tired, but they still had energy for the next step of the training.
Theo also was sweating, after all, even with his enhanced physique, he was still human.
But the difference was that he was not tired at all, he could run even faster for hours.
"The scenery is beautiful here in the morning!" Ayia exclaimed between breaths as she looked at the lake and forest.
Shizuka was also admiring the view.
Theo and Aurora smiled as they saw the girls impressed by their house.
They felt a little proud that other people liked their home.
"Let's rest a little before we go to the gym to train." Theo declared as he sat by the shore of the lake and admired the view.
The girls' eyes lit up when they saw that and immediately sat by his side.
They wanted to catch their breath a little, and what better place than by the lake's shore?
The four of them started talking about things as they rested.
They loved the fresh smell of the forest and the view that the backyard gave them.
It was the perfect place to rest before a high-intensity training.
While they were talking and resting, they suddenly heard Sylph's voice coming from inside the house.
"Master, two cars have arrived! They are June, Sam, and Sayuri." The AI Butler promptly said.
"Oh, open the gate for them and tell them we are by the lakeside." He asked with a calm voice as he looked at the clock on his cellphone.
He saw that it was already 6 am, the time that they agreed upon yesterday.
Aurora and the other two were excited when they heard that their friends had arrived.
5 minutes later, Theo and the girls saw three girls coming from inside the house.
They were wearing workout clothes, but they had sleepy faces.
It was noticeable that they had a hard time waking up so early.
Especially June, who was used to waking up late in the morning.
"Good morning, girls! Ready to work out!?" Theo exclaimed with a smile on his face.
It could be seen that he was amused with the girls suffering to wake up.
"This bastard!" Sayuri growled in annoyance.
Sam and June also glared at Theo in anger as they saw Theo's playful face.
They were already grumpy because they woke up early, and seeing Theo's amused face did not help calm their moods.
Theo laughed even harder when he saw their angered faces.
June, Sam, and Sayuri became even angrier when they saw Theo laughing, they were about to jump on Theo to beat him when they saw three girls walking toward them.
"Big brother, stop that!" Aurora exclaimed as she patted Sayuri's head.
Ayia and Shizuka also acted and calmed the girls.
Theo stopped teasing them, but his face still showed a smug smile that the girls wanted to punch out of him.
Seeing that the six girls were glaring at him with dangerous eyes, Theo felt a shiver run through his spine.
'The sayings were indeed right. Women are dangerous.' Theo thought as he felt a little afraid of these girls.
"U-hum!" Theo coughed.
"Let's go to the gym so that we can train." Theo said curtly and immediately started walking away from the girls.
He wanted to keep a little distance from these dangerous girls.
The girls looked at each other with a strange glint in their eyes as Theo walked away from them.
It seemed that they agreed upon something.
Theo felt again a shiver running through his spine.
He looked back a little and saw the girls following him while looking at him with strange eyes.
They whispered something among themselves while stealing glances at him sometimes.
He immediately turned his head and walked faster.
He felt that these girls were planning something against him.
It was better to be safe than sorry.
A while later, the seven of them arrived in the gym section of the house.
"Form a circle around me." He said in a different tone of voice.
As soon as he entered the gym, he transformed into another person.
Now he was Grandmaster and a Professor.
He exuded a serious feeling.
The girls were surprised when they saw him behaving like that.
Theo is usually calm and playful.
Now he was completely different.
Only Aurora was not surprised, after all, she knew that her brother took this training seriously.
The girls quickly formed a circle, they felt that they should obey Theo.
At least as long as the training went on.
"Let's first do some stretching exercises. Practicing martial arts takes a huge load off of our bodies, and if we are not stretched, we can injure ourselves." He declared as he looked at them.
The girls nodded and waited for his command.
"Let's first stretch our upper bodies." He said as he pulled his right arm with his left arm.
"10 seconds each stretch! We will go back to the beginning if any of you do not follow." He said loudly.
The girls nodded, they thought it would be easy.
But they were sorely mistaken.
Theo's stretching exercises were much more demanding than they were used to.
Sam, June, and Sayuri had a little trouble as the exercises went on.
The three of them were not used to such demanding exercises.
They were even more troubled when Theo started the calf stretch exercises.
They had to stand straight and lift their bodies with just the strength of their calves.
For people who were not used to this stretch, the girls started feeling their calves straining and tingling.
It was very uncomfortable.
But although these girls were struggling, they did not falter.
They took seriously Theo's threat.
Ayia, Aurora, and Shizuka on another hand did not have any problems following Theo's lead.
They were used to these stretches.
Even though Ayia and Shizuka hadn't trained with Theo before like Aurora had, these stretch exercises were the standards that every martial arts practice used at the start of the training.
A while later, Theo stood up after they did the last exercise.
He looked at them and analyzed their faces.
"June, Sam, and Sayuri! You three will run for 5 minutes around the tatami to warm up your bodies. No walking!" He said as he looked at the three girls.
They had only stretched up their bodies but hadn't warmed up them.
So, they still needed to run for a little bit.
The girls had tired faces when they heard that, but they still nodded.
They immediately started running around the tatami.
The tatami where they were was enormous.
It could easily house 50 people training on it.
All of them were barefooted, after all, shoes were forbidden on the tatami.
This way they could practice without worrying about injuring themselves on the hard floor.
If they fell on the ground, the tatami would cushion their fall.
After Theo saw the three girls running, he then looked at the rest of the girls.
Shizuka, Ayia, and Aurora looked at him with expectant faces.
The three of them were excited to start training.
That was especially the case for Shizuka.
She would receive the training from a grandmaster fighter!
She finally would be able to advance her martial arts.
Theo smiled as they saw that.
"Let's begin, shall we?"
