Chapter 258: Kind Advice
"No, that may be true, but the burden on your body is beyond normal. Brian, you said it yourself just now, right? About training for beginners? However, is what you are doing is heavyweight training beyond the recommendation?" Elysia waved her hands at Brian"s a.s.sumption.
Brian and David just nodded their heads in response. They often partic.i.p.ate in strenuous training with their seniors. Questions from seniors were asked periodically to prevent injury, trauma, or the like because it was not a rookie exercise.
At the time, Brian and David weren"t quite sure. They just thought all was well, and they answered their seniors with confidence. Nevertheless, when Elysia had said that, Brian and David had second thoughts about the impact of their training activities.
"Well, no wonder... Strenuous training is good, but it comes with the right composition. Regularly breaking through the limits of the body"s capabilities is an unwise decision, and ignoring the after-effects will worsen it. If I may suggest, please rest today.
You can resume your training tomorrow or after your body recovers from excessive stress. Elixir and herbs are not always a solution, right? Oh yes, you can also check your health at this medical center just to make sure, Brian, David." Elysia conveyed her kind suggestions. It was the umpteenth time she gave such advice to cla.s.smates who were nice to her.
"Aye, affirmative. Without a doubt, we will take advice from you, Elysia. Thank you for your kindness and valuable concern." Brian saluted like a sailor, then he turned to David.
"David, we have a break from training today. We will take a break from strenuous activity to avoid any backlash or bad things that might happen based on the glory advice from Elysia." Brian declared the conclusion of their schedule for the day.
"Aye, boss. Thank you for your advice, El-Ahem, Miss Elysia. That means a lot to us." David saluted to his boss, then to Elysia. He almost slipped out to say Elysia without honorifics. Whatever happened, he found it a little rude.
"What? Did you lie when asked by the seniors? I remember you saying that you didn"t feel anything wrong with your body at that time. So, what you guys secretly drink is elixir or herbs to relieve pain?
Geez, what a stupid decision. You just need to follow the advice, recommendations, and instructions given during practice. They"re experienced enough to train amateurs like you both in the most effective way, Brian, David." Ashton shook his head and sighed. He only found out about the truth, thanks to Elysia"s advice to these two idiots.
"What? What do you know, Ash-town, oh Mr. perfect? We think it"s just muscle aches and pains." Brian sneered at Ashton. The words of this annoying boy were not appreciated by him at all.
"Of course, you must know. No excuse can justify the ignorant. If you are confused, then ask the seniors. Ahem, literally, I am also your senior in this kind of field. With the generosity and wisdom of the winner, I allow you to ask for enlightenment from my great self ha-ha..." Ashton put his hands on his waist and laughed out loud.
"Tsk."
"Tch."
Brian and David clicked their tongues and turned away from Ashton. It was hard to admit, but this annoying brat was more talented than them in training, real-life experience, and physical abilities.
"Hey, big brat, this is at the medical center. Please have a little courtesy, and don"t speak out loud. Apart from that, it"s not praiseworthy for you to speak with arrogance because of your talent. It is ungrateful to the blessings and gifts that have been bestowed on you." The old mage suddenly interrupted. He was quite annoyed by these noisy visitors.
"Uh-ah, sorry, senior mage. I got a little carried away." Ashton immediately apologized after the old mage spoke to reprimand him.
"Oh, well... It"s not just me, but the others are also feeling annoyed. Also, I"m more of a wizard than a mage, okay? If you notice it closely, the three girls in front of you are not that much different in age from you, but their talents are way above yours. Have you seen them boast about their abilities?" Maximilian rolled his eyes and continued with his wise counsel.
"Err... No." Ashton scratched his head in a daze, glanced at the three girls sitting on the bed, then answered awkwardly.
"Yes, as you say. That is the top-notch behavior of quality young seedlings. They are not arrogant and never boast of their abilities for the greater good. You laugh at everyone, but you are the joker." Maximilian pointed his palm towards the girls and gave his conclusion, which was a bit sour for Ashton to digest.
Brian and David gave Ashton a grin as if they were mocking the boy who was being scolded. They were pleased that this annoying brat got something back from the arrogant remark earlier.
"That"s all, you may take my words with a pinch of salt, but digest it with wise thoughts. You two are also the subject of my advice, do you three understand?" Maximilian pointed at Brian and David to get them involved.
"Ye- Yes, we understand, senior wizard sir." Brian, Ashton, and David responded in unison.
"Psst, Ely, how do you know about Brian and David"s circ.u.mstances just by looking?" Evelyn murmured as she looked at her best friend"s face from the front. She looked at Elysia"s purplish-blue eyes with a look full of wonder.
"Oh, dear me... It"s hard for me to explain, but I only know because something is wrong and unnatural. It was as if something made me know it when I saw them. Umm, is that weird to say?" Elysia fiddled her fingers in reply. She was a bit confused by her explanation because it was difficult to explain.
"No, no, Ely. Nothing strange. Oh, wow, that"s superb vision ability. With that, you can easily help people. No wonder you often give kind advice to some people, our cla.s.smates just now too. It is a very commendable and n.o.ble deed." Evelyn shook her head once and smiled softly.
"Un, you never cease to amaze me with your miraculous self." Ella clasped her hands and looked at her friend with a reverence gaze. Yet, suddenly she became curious to try her friend"s ability on herself. "Ah, Ely, can you look at me, and please tell me if there"s something wrong with my body?"
"Uhh, why does your sentence sound different to my ears, Ella. However, you don"t need to worry. You are one hundred percent healthy without being deficient in anything. If need be said, the body of someone who has Holy Magic affinity will be treated from within without needing to do anything. Well, there are differences in the levels, though." Elysia complied with Ella"s request. She shrugged her shoulders slightly at the end of her words.
"Uhm... Ely, what about me? Is there something wrong with my body? You two with Grade 5 affinity can rest easy, but I became a little worried because you said things like that, Ely. I only live in Grade 3 after all..." Evelyn tugged on her best friend"s sleeve lightly with a nervous expression.
"Everything"s fine, Eve. You are a completely healthy girl. I can"t find anything wrong with your body no matter how many times I look at you. I"m sorry for worrying you over what I said." Elysia patted the worried girl"s hand with concern. It worked to make Evelyn feel relieved.
"You don"t need to apologize, Ely. However, well... No matter how many times you look at me? You said that earlier, Ely. Hum, how many times have you seen me? Inside and out? Ely, you are indecent." After feeling at ease, Evelyn pulled another achievement by teasing her best friend. She covered her b.r.e.a.s.t.s with her hands and moved to the side slightly with a mischievous smile.
"Wait, it"s not. I wasn"t. You asked me, and it"s just a figurative word. Eve, you bad girl." Elysia was a little surprised by the accusation. She stuttered and covered her face with her hands because she was too embarra.s.sed to look at the others with her blushing face.
"Ah, don"t be like that, Ely. I"m sorry, I was just teasing you a little to joke around." Evelyn immediately came back to her best friend to make peace.
"Gulp." The three boys who saw the exchange of the girls could only gulp their saliva.
The three boys didn"t really understand what was going on, but they were grateful to see this. They saw Elysia"s attractive blushing face, even if only for a moment.
"Sorry to interrupt your daydreams. If the need to visit you here is over, can you excuse yourself and leave? The girls you are staring at so intensely still have things they need to do after this."
The lady"s somewhat stern voice suddenly sounded. It made them turn their heads to the side, though reluctantly. But, the holy knight lady just stared at the three boys as if she wanted to drive them out of the room.
Understanding their situation, Ashton, Brian and David immediately decided to leave. The holy knight lady was beautiful and graceful, but she was like a tyrant.
"Elysia, I need to register to become a holy knight immediately. Before and after, I excuse myself first. See you on another occasion." Ashton said his goodbyes with a reason.
"As per your advice, we need rest and free from strenuous activities. Thank you, and see you later."
"Thank you for your advice, Miss Elysia. We excuse ourselves first."
Brian and David also excused themselves politely.
"Mm, thanks for coming. Have a nice day. See you at the academy in three days." Elysia no longer covered her face. She waved her hand lightly to send the three visitors away.
After that, the three boys walked out of the room with a stride.
