Elf Tensei Kara no Cheat Kenkoku-ki-Chapter 4Book 3: -3: Training Start

Alright this will give you the strength for the coming training. Eat plenty.

I said to the members of Nettle gathered before me in the Village Chiefs house.

We didnt eat breakfast like you asked Chiefbut I smell something delicious. What is it?

Its deer meat and cream stew. Itll warm you up so eat it while its hot.

I said and passed out the special cream stew and bread to the members.

Finely minced potatoes, water, wheat, butter, and lard mixed together with a base made with deer bones and tough meat along with some goat milk.

Finally some lightly roasted mushrooms and salt to add flavoring.

It was their first day so I put in quite a bit of effort. This era wouldnt have many dishes that required elaborate cooking.

I paired this stew with bread made with yeast which was baked to a fluffy and crunchy consistency. Also since I was able to use goat milk this time the taste of it was quite a bit more delicious and it went well with the cream stew.

Pairing this warm and delicious cream stew with having just came inside from the cold winter morning would make it feel like it was filling their bodies with warmth.

This is great. Goat milk, deer meat, and potatoes can make something so delicious!

Just eating stuff like this make me feel like entering Nettle was worth it.

It was a great success amongst the elves.

After this theyd be seeing hell so I let them enjoy as much as they pleased.

I was kind and let them have as many second helpings as they wanted before the pot was empty.

Alright, since youre filled with nutrition and well rested well start the training. Two of you will receive my direct instruction while the rest will undergo basic endurance training.

I announced and signaled the helper elves to bring out the warm fur coats and gloves I had asked for.

For those going out for endurance training I want you to properly wear cold weather gear..Roleau this is a map. You see the marking that I made? That location has a large tree with a knife stuck into it, you will take everyone there and recover it.

Chief were going that deep into the mountains while its snowing outside?

If its that distance you should be able to barely make it back to the village before the sun sets.

Wont we die!?

Well, I went out there as the sun rose, hunted a deer, stuck my knife in that tree, and came back this morning. After that I still had enough time to cook this meal. Theres no way you cant make it if youre just traveling there right?

Roleau was speechless.

Lets do iteveryone it might be far but this is our mountain and we wont get lost. If we complain too much right now itll just give us less time. We need to make it back before dark or it really will be dangerous.

Among the elves who were hesitating Lucy spoke up.

If a young girl was talking like that the rest couldnt act pathetic. The others spoke up as well.

If we leave now we could be back by evening if we take the snow into account.

Roleau was used to the forests, but many of them, especially the women, didnt have such experience.

If they matched pace with the slowest of the group then they should be able to return as the sun set.

It cant be helped, lets go! Lets get changed and head out.

As expected of Roleau. Youre pulling everyone along.well heres your lunch. You need to carry it with you.

I handed them some parcels.

Whats this?

Its your lunch.

It was the provisions I had made.

It was a large soft cookie-like object made with dried cranberries, vinegar, salt, and lard.

It could be preserved for long periods and was very high in calories. Looking at its nutrients it was a fairly good meal replacement and the flavor was pretty good at healing fatigue.

When we began fighting the Empire they would be deployed on long campaigns so it was essential that they had some food that was high in calories, nutrients, and was easy to carry. If you used these then you could carry a month of food along in your bag.

Will something so small be enough? How a bout a proper..

No. Being able to last with only that much is training in itself. I will have you eat that for lunch. For that reason I let you have a luxurious breakfast.

Indeed, no matter how excellent the cooking was you needed to have something easy to carry and eat. No matter how nutritious the full meal was it wouldnt match the quick and ease of that soft cookie.

If they didnt get used to eating one of those for their meals then during a campaign they would reach their limits quickly.

I would have them get used to eating one soft cookie for their meals. Then finally I would have them replace their meals with that for a day. If they were unable to do so, then a long campaign was just a dream.

If youre asking us to do this Chief then it must be for somethingokayIll show you we can do it.

Thanks

Within the snowy mountains they would train their legs, their endurance, their fortitude, and their teamwork.

Until they obtained the basic physical strength and unity I would have them climb the mountain.

What will the other two do?

Ill be beating Perception Expansion and Body Enhancement into their heads. Ill show you that I can make them learn it in a day.

Thats amazing. I thought it took a lot more time to learn magic

Well, its me after all.

Cyrilsometimes you say things like that to dodge the issue

Lucy said with half amazement and half respect.

Well, its the truth.

It was not possible to accomplish this by using normal means.

I would have to use Samsara Recursion to create a shortcut. That meant that only I could accomplish this.

Ill pray you return safely. If you arent back by late evening Ill set up a search so dont worry.

Okay. Chief I swear on my experience as a hunter that we wont get lost.

And so the endurance team put on their coats and headed out to the mountains.

The only ones left were one of Roleaus subordinates and one woman.

They had been led away to a separate room.

Now thenI didnt want to use this Samsara Recursion if I didnt need to, but I cant think of any other one that can use soul magic.

The one I would be calling today was the great magician Suzina.

The reason I hesitated was not because of the consumption or high burden of the soulno it was in fact lighter than others I had used.

A me that I dont know

There were five me that had been sealed away that could not be recognized. Though Suzina was only mid-powered compared to the other me they were one of the ones that I had completely sealed the memories of when not in use.

I would not have done such a thing without reason. There was something within Suzinasomething that made me reluctant to call upon them.

But I didnt have time to be hesitant.

I resolved myself and readied my mind to call Suzina.

A lifetime completely devoted to magic

As a human using magic, surgery, spiritualism, and every possible means to change my body itself into something optimized for my desires.

Nowlets start.

I strengthened my will and entered the room with the two members of Nettle.freewebn ovel.c om
