Terra Nova Online: Rise of The Strongest Player

Chapter 93: Back to the game

( Back in game, The knight’s academy )

Luke wasted no time once he logged back into the game as he headed straight for the principal’s office and requested a meeting with the headmaster. Sir John Wood-

” Agh, Skylion, back again so soon?” Sir wood said, as he seemed surprised as to why Luke had come to visit him again so soon.

” I wish to start my training, headmaster” Luke requested as John scratched his head and contemplated Luke’s request.

” What’s the problem with that? The semester starts 6 days later anyways, feel free to train in the academy grounds as you see fit until then” He replied as he expected Luke to already have a pretty strict training regimen, if he was the chosen disciple of a master knight.

” I wish to receive a new training regimen headmaster, I’m here today, because I feel like you can provide me with a good one” Luke said, as John felt like Luke was testing him at this point.

‘ I think the master knight behind him must have instructed him to do so on his first day of university….. maybe he will report back on the competency of the academy to his master later this week.

Very well, I’ll play ball with you’ John thought as he began to create the most basic yet rigorous training regimen for a knight.

I’ll personally draw a training regimen for you, student Skylion” John Wood said as he began writing on a piece of parchment paper with a quill and ink.

If Luke was a normal student asking for advice, sir John would have not made his training as hard as he did for Luke, as he took a holistic approach to his development by making his training routine hard, but also not forgetting to work on his leadership skills and the like.

“The regimen I’ve prepared for you, Student Skylion, will forge you not just into a knight but a paragon of chivalry and martial prowess.

Follow it to the T and you shall improve in whatever sphere you’re lacking” John declared as he passed the parchment to Luke for reading

1. [ Sword Training at Dawn (4:30 AM – 6:00 AM) ] : Begin each day with sword training, Focus on perfecting each movement for strength and precision, incorporating weighted gear to enhance muscle endurance.

2. [ Mounted Jousting and Lance Technique (6:00 AM – 8:00 AM) ]: Engage in mounted training, focusing on jousting accuracy and lance control. This includes charging at targets at full gallop and maneuvering obstacle courses to simulate battlefield conditions.

3. [ Siege Weaponry Training (8:00 AM – 10:00 AM) ] Train in the art of operating siege weapons, such as trebuchets and ballistae. Precision and power are key, as is understanding the mechanics and strategic use of each weapon.

4. [ Shield Defense and Formation Tactics (10:00 AM – 12:00 PM) ]: Master the use of the shield in both individual defense and in group formations. Practice advancing, retreating, and rotating as a unit, simulating scenarios you’ll face on the battlefield.

5. [ Hand-to-Hand Combat and Wrestling (12:00 PM – 1:00 PM) ]: Though knights are seldom without their blade, proficiency in unarmed combat is essential. Train in grappling, throws, and strikes to ensure preparedness for any form of close-quarters combat.

6. [ Armored Endurance Runs (1:00 PM – 2:00 PM) ]: Don full armor for endurance runs through varied terrain. This will build stamina and acclimate you to the demands of fighting while fully equipped.

9. [ Knightly Virtues and Ethics (5:00 PM – 6:00 PM) ]: Participate in discussions and lectures on the ethical and moral obligations of a knight and our duty towards the empire. Understanding the weight of knighthood is as crucial as martial prowess.

10. [ Evening Reflection and Physical Recovery (6:00 PM – 7:00 PM) ]: End the day with a period of reflection on the lessons learned and the virtues upheld. This is followed by physical recovery sessions involving stretching, massage, and care for injuries, preparing your body and spirit for the rigors of the next day.

It was a very balanced training regimen that did not solely focus on training, but a holistic development as John was not sure what Luke’s hidden master wanted from him and hence gave an all-encompassing answer that could never go wrong.

Looking squarely into Luke’s eyes, sir John said . “Adhere to this regimen till semester starts, and you will gain more insights into academy life in a week than the other students will in a year”

” Sir, can you provide me with a list of faculty as well? Who shall be assisting me in each training session?” Luke asked, as sir John took out another quill and assigned a teacher to Luke for each of his training activities.

” We shall fully support all your training desires student Skylion, I’ll assign the academy’s best teachers to you-” Sir John said as he passed yet another list to Luke whereby he assigned one instructor to each other Luke’s training activities.

” Thank You so much headmaster, I will remember the kindness you have shown me forever” Luke said sincerely as Sir John laughed out loud.

This was the sort of chivalry he wished to see in every knight in his academy as he admired this politeness of Luke.

Since it was already 11am, Luke could not perform the first few activities on the list, but willing to waste no time, he did not wait for the next day to start his training as he simply started with the tasks listed after 11 am on his parchment.
