Chapter 334 6
"Irene!" Clara and the others screamed in panic when they saw Princess Irene suddenly fall. But before they could help her, Ziel appeared and stopped them.
"You should focus on your training and leave her to me." Ziel said calmly, and a gray light enveloped Princess Irene's body.
Clara and the girls nodded and continued their training. While they struggled to do it, Kalya, Azalia, and Lilith managed to lift the ball but couldn't take it from that point. But they are still trying to move it even though they must do it slowly.
Not long after, the wounds on Princess Irene's body healed, and a soft moaning leaked from her small lips. Of course, treatment at that stage will not reduce the effect of the training. When Princess Irene opened her eyes, what she saw first was Ziel's face as she was in his arms right now.
"Are you feeling any better?" Ziel looked at Princess Irene with concern.
"Yes, Thank you. I thought the pain in my body was gone. I'm sorry I wasn't as strong as the others and instead troubled you for suddenly losing my consciousness." Princess Irene nodded slightly and said in a weak voice. Princess Irene felt sad when she thought that she had let Ziel down. Her eyes were teary, and she looked like she could cry at any moment.
"You don't have to worry about it. You were the weakest among the rest, and your stamina wasn't as good as theirs. Isn't the purpose of training to make you stronger? If you feel that you are strong, then why are you doing this?" Ziel smiled gently and tried to calm her.
Princess Irene fell silent after she heard Ziel's words because everything he said was true. Didn't he participate in the training to become stronger because he was weak?
"Thank you." Princess Irene sighed in relief that Ziel wasn't disappointed in her. Even though her condition was fine, she felt reluctant to leave his arms. Princess Irene wanted their situation to stay like that for much longer.
"Do you want to continue this training?" Ziel asked and stroked her hair gently.
Princess Irene closed her eyes and enjoyed Ziel's treatment. This was Ziel's first time stroking her hair. But when she remembered Ziel's question, she quickly opened her eyes and reluctantly broke free from his embrace. Princess Irene saw that Kalya and the others had managed to move the ball even though it was only a few steps.
"Yes, I do! I must finish this training!" Princess Irene said. It was unusual for her to be so assertive. When he first met her, Ziel's impression of Princess Irene was timid and indecisive. But after befriending Clara and the others, she changed little by little. Of course, the change was in a positive direction.
"Alright. Then you should try harder to catch up with them." Ziel smiled in satisfaction when he heard Princess Irene's answer. He kissed her forehead and disappeared from the place.
Princess Irene froze with a blush at Ziel's sudden action. She didn't expect that Ziel would do that to him. Her heart was beating fast and a sweet smile formed on her face. Princess Irene felt her fighting spirit was overflowing, and she was sure she would not lose to Clara and the others.
"I won't lose to you guys! I will become stronger!" Princess Irene said and tightly clenched her fists.
After that, the function of the vest was reactivated, and Princess Irene again felt the tremendous suppression and gravity multiplying. She knelt for a moment but quickly stood up. She managed to fight it with his new determination and fighting spirit.
Princess Irene didn't want to fall too far behind the others. While the girls had the average strength of a Sage, she was the only one still a Magic King. Princess Irene felt that now was the time for her to catch up with them.
She forced herself to walk towards the ball, and blood gushed out her mouth and nose. But Princess Irene didn't care about that. She had to become stronger to stand proudly with Clara and the others.
"Aaaaaahhhhh!" Princess Irene used all the mana in her body to enhance her physical strength. It would be easier if they could use magic spells to move the ball. Unfortunately, Ziel strictly forbids that.
Little by little, Princess Irene finally managed to lift the ball. But she couldn't move it from that spot and instead dropped it again. Princess Irene took a deep breath and let it out slowly. She tried to stabilize himself as he felt the blood in his body churning from the suppression of the vest.
"I can do it!" Princess Irene slapped her cheeks with both hands and tried again. She lifted the ball and took it one step but then dropped it. Princess Irene was not disappointed by that. On the contrary, she was happy that she was progressing like the others. After that, Princess Irene repeatedly tried until she could move the ball a few steps.
On top of a large tree, Ziel smiled as he watched the girls. Kalya and the others used their power source to the last drop to enhance their physical strength to the limit. Neither of them seemed to want to give up the practice. Each of them showed strong determination and unyielding eyes. At first, Ziel was disappointed with them. But after seeing that, the disappointment turned into pride.
Ziel didn't know when the primeval gods would come to the Clorius continent. Whether it was a month, a year, ten years, or however much time he was given, he would not be able to make Kalya and the others equal to the creatures that had lived for millions of years.
Because of that, Ziel created such training. He wanted the girls to overcome the huge difference in their power with the primeval gods when they had to fight them in the future. Moreover, Ziel also wanted to forcefully stimulate their potential and make them break through to their next level of strength.
During this time, Ziel would try to minimize the power gap between the girls and the primeval god. So they wouldn't be too overwhelmed when fighting such a powerful creature.
Time passed quickly, and the sun shone brightly over Kalya and the others. The hot weather adds to their pressure and makes them tired quickly.
The distance between the flag's location and the ball's spot on the field is about fifty meters. The girls couldn't even reach a third of it. The only people who could move the ball up to ten meters were Kalya, Lilith, and Azalia, while the rest were under seven meters.
Not long after, Clara fell from losing consciousness. Ziel quickly appeared next to her and gave the same treatment he did to Princess Irene. After Clara woke up, she immediately resumed the training because she didn't want to be far behind the others.
After Clara, the other girls fell unconscious one by one, leaving half of them. Ziel could only sigh and suppress his sadness when he saw their condition. However, it is necessary to train their minds and fighting spirit.
Several hours had passed, and the girls had managed to move the ball across half of the field. Some had lost consciousness several times and were badly injured, but Ziel quickly restored their condition to their original state. Only Kalya and Azalia were able to maintain their consciousness until now.
Even though they were hungry because they missed lunch, Kalya and the others were not allowed to eat until everyone could move the ball to the flag location. Ziel also did the same with them. He would eat after the girls finished their training and ate.
When the sky was dark, the girls had managed to move the ball forty-five meters, and five meters away, they would finish their first stage training. Of course, not all of them managed to get the ball that far. The farthest was Azalia, and the shortest was Princess Irene and Clara, with a distance of about forty meters.
After the day turned to night and the moon shone brightly, Azalia, Kalya, and Lilith finally finished the training. Half an hour later, all the girls managed to move the ball to the flag's location. They looked exhausted, with ragged breaths and sweat dripping down their bodies. The girls could only lie weakly on the field without being able to move an inch.
"Good job, all of you." Ziel appeared in front of the girls and smiled.
"Ziel..."
"Ken..."
Kalya and the girls smiled weakly when they saw Ziel's appearance. They wanted to move but couldn't in their current state. This was the first time they were exhausted to be unable to move like that.
"Please don't move too much in your current state. I can't heal you right now because it will lessen the effect of your training. You have to wait thirty minutes before I can restore your body to its original state. Therefore, I will help you return to the cottage one by one as your reward. Excuse me, my lady." Ziel said softly and carried Clara in a princess hug. Clara blushed at Ziel's sudden action.
"You guys rest here for a bit. I will be right back." Ziel created a barrier around the girls to protect them.
"Thank you. Ziel." Kalya said.
"Yes. Please come back as soon as possible." Azalia added, and the other girls nodded in response. They had become very spoiled in their current state and didn't want to be separated from Ziel for too long.
"I understand." Ziel answered briefly and quickly left the place.
Not long after that, Ziel returned and helped the girls to the cottage with the same treatment as Clara. It took him fifteen minutes to move them all. Ziel took them to their respective rooms to rest and then cooked a special dinner.
After fifteen minutes, Ziel left the kitchen and came to the girls' rooms to heal them. But when Ziel arrived at Kalya's room, she was already sound asleep from exhaustion, and the other girls were also in the same condition. Ziel could only smile and immediately heal them. After that, he left their room slowly to avoid disturbing their sleep. Princess Cordelia and the girls would feel refreshed after they woke up.
Ziel returned to the kitchen after he had treated the girls. The food he cooked used Leviathan's meat as an ingredient. Of course, Ziel didn't make it as usual because it wouldn't be able to accommodate their need for strength. Therefore, he compressed the origin power into the meat before he processed it.
Unknowingly an hour passed, and Ziel had finished all his cooking. A delicious aroma spreads and fills the cottage. It tickled the girls' noses and woke them up from their hungry stomachs. The girls came out of their rooms one by one and appeared in the living room.
"Good evening. You woke up earlier than I thought. I intended to wake you up after finishing my cooking." Ziel smiled and greeted them like a butler.
"Yawn... How come we didn't wake up after smelling the delicious aroma of your cooking?" Clara yawned, and she spoke in a semi-drowsy state.
"Thank You. Then, you can wash your face and then eat your dinner." Ziel served another meal from the kitchen on the dining table. He cooked a lot of food, considering the girls hadn't eaten anything since noon.
"Yes. We will take a shower to clean ourselves. Our bodies felt sticky and uncomfortable after the training." Kalya said, and the girls agreed with her words. Fortunately, the bathroom in the cottage was quite spacious and made like a hot spring which could accommodate up to fifteen people. So they will not feel cramped even if they enter the bathroom together.
"I understand. Then, have a good shower. You can eat right after and don't have to wait for me because there's still something I want to do." Ziel nodded and left words to the girls. After that, he went into his room to check the artifact he was going to use for the second stage of training.
The girls spent an hour bathing. They came out with refreshing bodies and erotic looks with their wet hair and flushed faces.
"I feel alive again after taking a shower! I think my strength has skyrocketed from one training!" Clara said and clenched her fists tightly.
"Yes. This training is very effective. But we shouldn't talk about that because I'm already hungry. We should quickly finish our dinner and then rest. We have to be at our best for tomorrow's training." Azalia reminded the girls.
"We must not disappoint Ziel again like we did today!" Kalya said seriously, and the girls nodded at his words. They sat down in their seats and began to enjoy their dinner. Queen Helena and the others remembered what they had been through today. Luckily, their first day of training went smoothly.
