First Legendary Dragon: Starting With The Limitless System novel Chapter 217

Chapter 217: Daily Routine

The following days settled into a consistent yet fulfilling routine.

Each morning, Orion awoke late, freshened himself, and enjoyed a relaxing bath aided by Rina and Fiora’s gentle assistance.

Breakfast followed shortly after, during which Eldric warmly instructed him on various aspects of spell combat theory and application.

"Today, Orion," Eldric announced the next morning, his voice cheerful and confident, "we’ll start integrating your new Thunder spells directly into combat scenarios. It’s essential to not only know the spells but also understand precisely when and how to employ them effectively."

Orion eagerly agreed, his eyes glittering with excitement. "Understood, Grandpa. Let’s begin immediately."

The mornings from then on were spent intensely at the spacious training grounds behind the mansion.

Eldric patiently and meticulously guided Orion through rigorous practical exercises, simulating diverse combat situations requiring careful spell selection and precise execution.

Initially, Orion struggled slightly, unfamiliar with rapidly deciding spell usage amidst chaotic combat.

Yet his extraordinary comprehension and adaptability swiftly bridged this gap, his proficiency dramatically improving each passing day.

By each afternoon’s end, Orion would briefly rest, recuperating briefly before plunging into Edgar and Lucan’s demanding swordsmanship training sessions.

The duo continued relentlessly testing and refining Orion’s ability to handle multiple opponents, enhancing both his tactical flexibility and martial instincts.

After each training session, Orion bathed comfortably, joined Eldric and Selene for dinner, spent quiet moments chatting gently with Seraph, and then diligently studied runes each night until exhaustion guided him to bed.

After quite a few days of this routine, Orion had clearly gotten a lot more experienced with the use of his spells as well as swordsmanship. Both Eldric and Edgar openly praised his rapid improvement, their pride evident and genuine.

"Truly astonishing progress, lad," Eldric remarked warmly after an evening session at the training ground. "You’ve adapted to practical combat magic faster than anyone I’ve ever seen."

Edgar, who was watching them practice, moved forward while chuckling as he said in agreement, "Young Master has also improved by leaps and bounds in swordsmanship. Now he’s just missing a spark of inspiration before he can master the Sword Aura."

Orion smiled warmly at their praise, feeling quite good after training for so long.

Eldric, however, seriously said, "But you also need to rest, lad. You have been training for like a week straight with little to no rest. It’s about time you take a break from training and go back to the academy."

Edgar also nodded, "Yes, you can take this time to let your body rest as well, lest it break down."

Orion exhaled a sigh and agreed, "Alright, Grandpa. I’ll do as you say then. It’s about time I go and check up on the group’s progress."

"Hahaha, it’s only been like a week. What progress can there be in such a little time?" Eldric laughed and shook his head before heading back to the mansion.

Edgar chuckled and left as well, leaving Orion alone standing at the training ground.

[Hehe, they are right, Master. It’s already impressive if one of them has made further progress, much less the group.]

He shook his head, ’You guys are forgetting to take into account that this is the Golden Era. There are plenty of talents out there who are improving ridiculously fast. I have good hope for the group members.’

[Hmmm, maybe. But you really really learned all 108 Primary Runes of the Thunderpeak Academy, Master. This has gotta be a record of some type! (๑˃ᴗ˂)ﻭ]

Orion smiled softly at Lumi’s enthusiastic remark as he left the training grounds, slowly walking through the mansion’s beautifully maintained garden.

’Yes, Lumi,’ Orion agreed quietly as he walked, enjoying the peace of the moment. ’Learning all 108 Primary Runes from that book in under a month might indeed be a record. But more importantly, this knowledge will greatly benefit my future growth.’

He smiled warmly, gently rising to his feet again after ensuring the sapling had been thoroughly watered and nourished.

After a lingering glance at the little plant, Orion slowly walked back inside the mansion, feeling a deep sense of contentment.

Returning to his room, Orion settled comfortably at his desk. Feeling hungry after the day’s rigorous training, he casually retrieved a few meatballs from his inventory, savoring their delicious taste and rich nourishment as energy quickly flowed back into his body.

Satisfied, Orion then took out the Akashic Record Token from his inventory, the token’s enigmatic surface shimmering faintly under the gentle lamplight.

He studied it closely, feeling curiosity stirring deeply within him once again. Yet, just as he considered using it, Lumi’s gentle voice chimed softly in his mind.

[Master, perhaps we should wait and see exactly what knowledge we lack before accessing the Akashic Records. After all, we’ve already made huge progress recently, and entering the library prematurely could mean missing out on truly crucial things.]

Orion thoughtfully considered her words, eventually agreeing with a quiet nod. ’You’re right, Lumi. I should first look around here and see what I cannot find.’

[Exactly, Master! Then we’ll use it at just the right time, when you need it most. That way, its potential can be fully realized!]

He smiled appreciatively at her wise advice, carefully placing the token back into his inventory.

Orion then stretched leisurely, feeling the accumulated fatigue of days of intense training finally catching up with him.

Moving quietly toward his bed, he lay down comfortably upon the soft mattress, allowing exhaustion to gently claim him.

’Goodnight, Lumi. Tomorrow will be an exciting day, I’m sure.’

[Academy will be chaotic hehe. Goodnight, Master! Rest well~ (✿◡‿◡)]
