“Your stamina is good compared to normal people but if you want to fight malice organisms then it won’t be enough!” A young man with an average appearance and the presence of an expert was teaching three ladies and one young lad a lesson.

“Arg! But it’s hard to follow through with your training method and look, our little Rodrick is already huffing for air!” A lady replied while wiping the sweat off her face.

.....

“Cortel-san, Monan-san, Merial-san, and Little Rodrick, if you can last for a week then you can improve tremendously!” An average-looking man smiled and addressed them all with confidence which made them want to believe in him.

“Okay...okay, Erick-sama! We get it, so we will follow along with your training if it can help us become stronger!” Cortel replied and closed her fist then put her hand in front to which Monan, Merial, and Rodrick followed and put their hands above her to show that they agreed with her.

“Great, I will make sure you won’t regret your decisions!” Erick smiled with satisfaction and reassured them that he would make them strong.

Erick, Rodrick, and three ladies are on the outskirts of Narsi city, away from the noise of the city and Erick was checking their overall capabilities to see where they need improvement.

As they made an appointment yesterday to meet, Erick had breakfast in his room which was stored in his storage ring, and met with ladies and Rodrick right after that.

Rodrick was the one who suggested this place which was devoid of anyone so nobody would disturb them there.

Erick noted that ladies have above-average stamina from a normal person except for Rodrick who comes short in stamina. Rodrick has a good sense of observation skills so Erick had a plan to teach him some tactics to make him able to become the brains in their team.

After resting for a while, they left from there to complete their daily mission which was to find an animal and hunt it down.

With the environment becoming contaminated, the animal also got influenced by it, making them fierce and more dangerous but with more people hunting them for food, they started to become rare ingredients.

Today they were lucky to come across a furry bear, Erick let the four of them cooperate and hunt on their own.

Rodrick used his intelligence to make a simple trap which was enough to distract it and from behind the bushes, three ladies ambushed the furry bear.

Even though they were successful in ambushing, because the furry bear had a high defense, their weapons weren’t able to penetrate its skin.

But after the great struggle, four of them were able to take it down using hit-and-run tactics.

The bear weighed more than they could carry so Erick took the heavy bear on his shoulder with one hand, again surprising them and reminding them that he was a freak of nature.

“I smell bloody and rotten body odor!” Rodrick smelled the air and found that odd so he tracked the smell and found small footprints.

“These footprints do resemble children’s but how can a child be here in the wilderness!” Monan’s words made them wonder so they proceeded ahead.

Rodrick took the lead or more as Erick encouraged him to take the lead to find the source of footprints as practice would be a better option for him to develop his talent.

Rodrick didn’t disappoint them, he was able to track the footprints which were covered by dirt and rotten leaves.

“Ahhh! What is this child doing here!” The ladies shrink seeing the condition of the child who was dried up and his body was unresponsive even though they made so much noise.

“Don’t be alarmed, we can still save the child!” Erick calmed them down and inspected the condition of the child. He was also surprised inside that the child has great tenacity to survive, as his body is on the brink of breakdown but still has a little breath.

The blood flow in his body was a mess because of a lot of scratches and tears in his skin which made him lose blood slowly. The child still has a little bit of breath but it’s very hard to notice that.

Erick used some of his acupuncture knowledge and closed all the blood flow then stabilized his breathing.

“For now he is out of danger but we need to hurry back and treat him soon otherwise he would die from the lack of nutrition as his body is empty of energy to maintain its sustenance!” Erick said, putting his spare outer shirt on him and explaining the condition to others.

Cortel took him on her back and all of them went back to Narsi city immediately.

Fortunately, they reached in time and administered him the nutritional doses to make his body stable and recover slowly. Erick also went around the city to look for herbs but he only found some common herbs, he still did his best to make a recovery potion for the kid and have him drink it.

The furry bear was exchanged for money in the biggest hotel around Narsi City which was later distributed among the four according to their contribution.

Erick wanted Leader Shun and others to join them in the training but they said that it would take a whole week for them to recover so he had no choice but to leave them be and only train the four of them.

The next whole week, Erick trained them carefully and made sure they didn’t destroy their bodies in the process because of over-enthusiasm.

They also visited the kid who was in the care of a small hospital in the city. He was recovering very well because of the Erick potion which was given to him every day once.

After the training, Erick would make a medicinal bath for them and remind them to strictly mix it in their bath and soak it until it becomes transparent. At first, four of them weren’t sure what it does but after their first bath, they understood how comfortable they felt after soaking in it so they obediently followed Erick’s advice over the week.
