The weights on his arms were, 40kg a piece, the ones on his legs were 60kg, and the one on his chest 80kg. He had spent UP to increase the density of these weights, the heaviest ones reached 100kg.
Right now he weighed an extra 280kg. Lifting this with his current strength was easy, but running with his was another story. His current best was 16 laps. Today he intended to hit 17
His mornings consisted of a 20km warm up, followed by weighted running until failure. Then he'd follow up with another 20 laps of sled pulls. Then he'd relax for a bit, people in this world have a high tolerance for hunger and for stress, running almost 60km on a practically empty stomach just sounded like madness
But it worked, he was walking around at 10% body fat, with no lost of strength or stamina. So why should he complain
The largest change beside those would be their strength, as could be seen from his workout . He had discovered something ground breaking, well at least in his opinion
Because people in this world didn't do physical training, they only gained stats through skills. Meaning from Apprentice Knight Level 1 - Apprentice Knight Level 9
They could onky have a max attribute of 10 in any given stat. But he found that with physical training, he could gain 1 attribute from training and 1 from skills, meaning they'd have twice the stat points of anyone they faced
Which begged the question, why didn't people train? This also confused him as he didn't know people advanced in realm either, sword training alone gave 0.1 point of realm experience a day, which was 42 points a year.
One thing he found is that, proper nutrition gave you 0.5 point of realm experience everyday. Meaning someone could become an Apprentice Knight, just by eating properly for 200 days, less than 7 months
But physical training gave 0.5 points for hard training and 1 point for reaching your limit. Which means proper nutrition and physical training doubled the speed of advancement at minimum
Since they didn't train, they must be some other way of advancement. Another question, he had to find the answer to
Besides that, what made him feel strange is the disregard shown towards him and the others the past 4 months. He hasn't seen the Baron, nor any of his guards since that day. As if they were forgotten about
Not that he minded, as they could develop in piece. Plus he still had 2 months before the competition. Speaking of the competition, he failed to see how they would lose
Most of the girls were level 4 Apprentice Knights, while Rebecca reached level 6. With their training, their attributes were 3 points higher than their realm at minimum. Meaning he had 19 girls with Level 7 Apprentice Knight strength and one Level 9
As for himself, well

* ------ *
His strength had changed greatly. With his training, he gained 2 attribute points at each level, not to mention the extra attributes from skills. Because of his panel, his growth was mostly uniform, with no weaknesses
The only problem would be the cap on his subordinates which restricted his growth some what. He still had most of his points he had gained the past 4 months as he had no use for them
In terms of attributes alone, he was stronger than a Skeleton warrior, which brought him a lot more security in this world
The main reason he'd equate for his growth would be the UP he spent on the field. Bending down, he placed his hand on the field and opened it's panel
[ Enhanced Training Field ] [ 0/10,000 ] 999/1000 durability [ COMMON ]
1. Reduces lost of Stamina by 25%
2. Increases Stamina recovery by 50% when on field
3. Increases training effect by 100%
4. Increases injury recovery by 50% when on field
This effects of this field are what allowed them to push themselves to the limits daily without having to worry about any adverse effects. Which is why their strength grew so rapidly
He'd love to continue to upgrade it but he found that the UP needed increases ten fold. Meaning the next upgrade will need 100,000 UP, then 1,000,000. And he had no idea if there was a limit
So for right now, this level was enough. Another thing he put more thought into was his limit of exertion. With a strength attribute of 19.4, he has a theoretical strength of 1940kg, but he can only exert that strength once and it will injure him
For example, Eddie Hall would have a theoretical strength attribute of 5, which allowed him to have his world record deeadlift. But we all saw how that went
So in reality, most peoples strength doesn't match their strength attribute.
Physique on the other hand solves that issue. When Physique and strength are equal, you can exert your full strength 5 times without injury. For every 0.1 difference between physique and strength, where physique is greater, is an extra time he can utilise his strength
For example, with his current physique, he can exert his full strength, 8 times
A similar phenomenon happens for his Agility. With an Agility attribute of 19.1, he has a theoretical speed of 191m/s. The way it differs compared to strength is duration
Using his top speed uses 19.1 Stamina a second. Meaning he can only use his top speed for 10 seconds before he burns out
So the attributes of Apprentice Knights, still follow a logical standpoint. As for higher levels, he didn't know
Snapping out of his thoughts, he slowly caught his breath, as he let out a bright smile
He had finally managed to complete 18 laps, 1 more than he expected. 2 more and he'd move up in weight
A dull thud sounded on the gate snapping him out of his thoughts.
Looking towards the gate, he felt his mouth twitching as he walked towards it, not even bothering to take off the weights.
After he opened the gate, a tall armored figure walked past him, not even bothering to look in his direction as they walked towards the interior of the castle. Judging by the direction they walked, they were going towards the kitchen
Leo ignored her behaviour as he walked towards the equipment rack, taking the weights off one by one, wiping them off as he did before loading up the sled. He had worked up to 500kg, today was his last day with this weight and he intended to enjoy it
As for the giant armoured woman that was walking towards his kitchen. The girls said her name was Hilda. A fitting name, when you consider that his head barely reached her shoulder, even though he was currently 5'10
He had never heard her speak, not even once, had never even seen her without her armour. As to why he let her do what she wanted? Simple, he couldn't beat her
She's the reason why he continues to train so hard even with his current strength. He was once again manhandled after he called her out for her disrespect
The end result was, the girls told her to fuck off and that she was no longer welcomed, much to his delight and Hilda's displeasure. Seeing the girls reactions, she dialed back on the disrespect, well mostly, hence the current scene
Who she was, he had no idea. She showed up a month after the barracks was completed. According to the girls, she was here to protect and take care of them. And I quote " because a perverted neanderthal, couldn't "
Leo could still remember when Rebecca imitated her tone and words. The disgust was palpable. It seems that his branding as a child loving pervert was here to stay
Nonetheless, he tolerated her behaviour simply because, the girls were becoming more and more masculine as they stayed with him, practically all Tom boys at this point. Not that he cared but, a more feminine touch might help
Plus he enjoyed them schooling her. Especially about " the red days ". Imagine her reaction when a 7 year old girl, schooled her on the proper terminology of menstruation, and on basic biology. And the cherry on top, when she found out that he's the one who taught them this knowledge
She slowly came to find that the only thing, she could help the girls do was cook. Everything else, he had already taught them. Including taking care of their hair, he was black in his previous life so he had no idea about how white people did their hair, besides the stereotypical pony tail but who says white girls don't look good in cornrow
The only thing, he didn't do was bathe them. He thought them to take care of each other
So he ranked up from perverted neanderthal to pervert. Better than nothing I guess
Regardless, she added a much needed touch to their barracks that made it more of a home
