"That's right, this room's maximum increase in gravity is 20%, the highest-level room's maximum is 100%. However, so far, only a few people have been able to withstand the 50% level."
"After all, most people are magicians and enchanters, so there is no need to waste a lot of time on physical training."
Lathel took out a recovery pill, put it in his mouth, and immediately he felt much better.
He took a deep breath and exhaled, then looked towards Lilith and asked, "So... why do I have to be here?"
Lilith sat in front of him, smiled, and patiently explained, "Of course it's to help you practice physically."
"Heh?! You just said that physical training for a magician or an enchanter is unnecessary, right?"
"That's right." Lilith shrugged. "However, you need to be able to defend yourself, right?"
Lathel heard that and no longer objected. Just like she said, he needed to be able to defend himself in this world.
The fantasy world was filled with mysteries, swords, magic, and romance. But this place is also full of danger; if he is a little careless, he will probably die.
Of course he will die if he is careless, after all, he is just a supporting character, not a main character like Alec.
Alec is different, he is the main character, and even if he falls into mortal danger, he can still escape spectacularly.
He can even find opportunities in danger and break through to higher levels...etc.
Lathel suddenly frowned and asked: "So… why do I have to train my physical strength? It would be better if I learned how to use magic or magic skills, right?"
Lilith shook her head and sighed: "No, there are two reasons why you have to start training your physical strength instead of learning how to use magical power."
"First of all, you have not yet fully mastered the ability to control the magical energy within your body."
"If you want to learn any magical skills, you need to learn how to control magical energy first."
"That would take a lot of time, and besides, learning magic skills also takes a long time."
"I'm sure you don't have enough patience right now and you do not want to waste that much time, right?"
Lathel rubbed his chin and asked: "Exactly how long will it take?"
"Although according to your talent…" Lilith continued to explain: "At least it will take you a few weeks to a few months. It could last up to several years at most."
"On average, it takes about 1 month for a normal magician to master an F-Rank magic skill."
Lathel sighed upon hearing that Lilith was right, he couldn't wait that long.
Besides... he's not too confident in his talent. Once again, Lathel needs to emphasise that he is only a supporting character, not the main character.
There are no supporting characters whose talents and personalities surpass those of the main character.
That's why Lathel thought that if he learned how to use magic now, it would take more time than what Lilith just said.
Lilith continued: "The second thing is that your natural talent and constitution are very suitable for developing physical strength."
"First of all, you are a Half-Vampire, your outstanding physical strength and healing ability can help you increase your physical strength faster than everyone else."
"Besides… you also possess a high-ranking lightning element and an earth element; those two elements will help you a lot in physical training and even close combat."
Lathel nodded. He felt that this was extremely reasonable. Suddenly, he became startled and looked towards Lilith, his eyes filled with surprise.
'Wait! I am always using the skill (Sheath), why can she see my true talent?'
"Hehehe… very surprising, right?" Lilith smiled confidently and said, "Your skills can deceive everyone, but they cannot deceive me."
Lilith said while winking at him, making him feel both embarrassed and worried.
"Don't worry, I won't hurt you either." She pouted and said: "Even though your talents are at a normal rank, as long as you practice well, you can unleash extremely terrifying power."
"You will have to wait until your physical condition reaches my requirements, then we will start learning how to use magic."
Lathel nodded when he heard that, but he still felt worried. After all, all of his secrets were seen through Lilith. If she had bad intentions, he was afraid...
"Wait!" Lathel suddenly remembered something and asked: "So you also know about Lafien and Charlotte?"
"Of course." Lilith raised her chin and said: "However, I also talked to them, you don't need to worry."
"If I hadn't said it, I'm afraid no one would have discovered your true identity. Unless…"
"Hmm?!" Lathel waited silently for Lilith to speak.
"Unless people from the church appear because they have a way to recognise your identity, or Catheryne appears before you."
"However, no matter what the case is, it is very difficult for it to happen. Therefore, you can practice with peace of mind."
Hearing that, Lathel felt more reassured, as if he gradually trusted Lilith more in his heart.
Lilith also sighed and said: "Okay, let's start practicing. Based on your recovery ability and physical strength, even if the training intensity is twice as high as usual, I think you can still endure it."
"First, try it at 1%."
"Tack!" As soon as Lilith snapped her fingers, a wave of pressure surrounded Lathel, making him feel extremely uncomfortable.
However, everything was just uncomfortable and did not affect his movements too much.
"Concentrate, use your thoughts to lead the thunder element out."
Lathel heard Lilith's words and immediately followed suit. He closed his eyes and felt the lake of energy inside his body.
He relied on his instincts to guide the water in the lake into his body. Suddenly, a feeling of pain appeared throughout his body.
It seemed like every strand of his blood was overloaded, causing him to kneel on the ground, open his mouth, and spit out a lot of blood.
There was so much blood that a pool of blood formed on the ground.
"That hurt!" Lathel gritted his teeth and muttered. The pain was terrible, as if someone had used a hammer to smash his entire body.
"Calm down, push that energy out." As Lilith saw Lathel's miserable appearance, worry and haste appeared in her eyes.
But she still held herself back and tried to explain and help Lathel control his own energy source.
"Quick… quickly push that energy out, if it continues to stay inside your body, all your blood vessels will explode."
Hearing that, Lathel tried to fight the pain, concentrate, and push out the energy source that was ravaging his body from the outside.
At this moment, Lathel's body suddenly emitted a faint blue light.
"Hold on… just a little longer." Lilith looked worriedly at Lathel.
However, just a few seconds later, he spat out a mouthful of black blood, then fell unconscious on the ground.
…
Not knowing how much time had passed, Lathel opened his eyes and woke up, a familiar scene entering his eyes.
He was lying on Lilith's lap, and in front of him was Lilith's huge 'soul' like two wrecking balls about to hit his face.
Lathel muttered: "I… how long was I unconscious?"
Lilith caressed his face and said softly: "About 15 minutes."
He heard that and sighed: "It seems... I'm a bit useless."
"No, you did very well. Normally, people need about a week to be able to do what you just did." Lilith said hastily.
"But you are different. It only took a few minutes for you to control the magical energy being pushed out of your body. Even though you failed, you just need to try a little harder."
"Besides... The thunder element is the most difficult type of energy to control. Since you were able to go so far on your first try, it proves that you are a genius."
Lathel did not feel happy hearing that because he knew Lilith was only comforting him.
If a supporting character is a genius, how can the main character shine?
However, Lathel also realised that he could control magical energy faster than others because he could risk his life and was not afraid of death.
Why?
Thanks to the healing ability of a Half-Vampire and Lilith's healing potion, he now felt no pain in his body, as if everything that had just happened was just a nightmare.
He stood up, breathed a sigh of relief, and said: "Okay, let's continue."
Seeing Lathel smiling confidently, Lilith was a bit surprised, but then she nodded and said: "Uhm… keep training!!"
"Hahaha…"
After that, Lathel continued to do as Lilith instructed, and after seven failed attempts, he finally succeeded.
At this moment, Lathel's body emitted alternating blue and green light, and countless electric rays shot out from his body as if he himself were a high-voltage electric pole.
Lathel gasped, seeing the results he had just achieved, he felt so happy that he almost cried.
This was the first time in many years that he felt so happy.
He carefully recalled the first time in his life he was so happy that he cried, probably when he witnessed his company being put into legal operation.
Suddenly, he felt something strange and asked: "Lilith, you said I don't need to learn how to control magic first, but up until now, I've only learned how to control magical energy, not magic." is physical training."
Lilith also felt happy when she saw Lathel succeed, she smiled and said: "Controlling magical energy is not as simple as what you just did."
"However, controlling the lightning element is also a form of physical training. Your body is continuously being destroyed by the lightning element and recovering."
"Now, your body has become much stronger."
"Besides… don't you feel that the gravity in this room has reached 5%?"
Lathel was startled when he heard that. Indeed, he did not pay attention to the?gravity.
After all, up until now, he had endured the pain as if his body had been crushed and then recovered so many times that he no longer had the mind to pay attention to the gravity anymore.
But at this moment, he felt that his body was much stronger than before.
