Chapter 5: The Black Pig Prince Becomes a Moveable Fat

"Huh, huh ... uahhhhhhh!"

　Going back a little, in the courtyard of the royal palace.

　Brad attacks the warrior in front of him, breathlessly.

　However, the tall warrior in front of him with a frivolous smile - the hero "Demon Slayer" Glace Stresemann - dodges with movements so minimal that you can’t even tell he moved.

　It is not at the level of being seen through.

　Brad was convinced that he sees his own movements dozens of times slower, and he felt an overwhelming difference in strength - or perhaps status.

"You’ve progressed a lot compared to a week ago, but ... it's about the level of a knight ~ ☆"

      Glace mumbles as if in the middle of afternoon tea, and then suddenly appears in front of Brad as if he teleported through space, and flicks Brad’s forehead.

　Brad writhed as if he had been hit hard, rolling like a ball on the grass in the courtyard.

(Hah ... I'm dying, I'm seriously dying. In old-fashioned shounen manga, they often had to go through hard training to become stronger, but that's not the trend anymore right?)

　Glace is one of the important characters in "Final Quest" and one of the strongest characters. His level is over 70, which is stronger than the hero considering that the average level of the hero party at the time of clearing the game was around 50.

　Despite this, he has a difficult personality and background, and didn’t cooperate in subduing the Demon King. On the other hand, he’s popular because he suddenly appears when the heroes are in trouble and steals the good parts.

(Honestly, I wanted to reincarnate as this person ...)

　Anyway, he’s the strongest character, but It’s not hard to imagine that if you practice with such an opponent while at the weakest level, it will be a special training from hell.

　The reason why I wanted such masochistic training was, of course, to avoid the death end, but if I break it down, there are three purposes.

　One is to diet.

　Even if you know you have to lose weight, it’s difficult to continue exercising on your own initiative. To some extent, I wanted someone to force me to continue exercising to some extent.　

　I thought that if I could get Glace to accept me as a disciple and ask him to train me every morning, it would become a compulsory routine..

　The other is-verification of the level system.

　In order to become stronger, I needed to reconfirm whether the level system was properly applied in this world. If the level system was applied, then by training with the overwhelmingly strong Glace, I would be able to gain a huge amount of experience at once, which the low-level me would never be able to obtain normally. As a result, my level would increase rapidly, and I would become so strong that even I would feel it.

　And as a result of the verification, I clearly felt that my body was stronger like another person compared to a week ago. Power, endurance, speed, dexterity, magical power-all of these stats had clearly increased to the point where I could feel it.

　I’m still no match for Glace, and as you can tell from the ridicule I’m getting from the spectators, I’m still getting beat up as usual, but the truth is my body is gradually catching up to Glace's movements.

　In the old world, it’s absolutely impossible for a fat man who had never even exercised to suddenly become able to move so much.

　In other words, the level system exists.

　The level is not visible, but it exists, at least internally. And during the training with Glace, Brad's body occasionally gave off a faint light, which was probably an effect of leveling up.

　If that’s the case, Brad must be at least level 15 now. As Glace pointed out, this is about the same level as any knight. I think the average mob noble in the academy is around level 10, so I should be stronger than that. That's about it, but it's a huge improvement considering that he went from 6 to 15 in a week.

(... Since you can tell how strong someone is by their magic power, it should be possible to develop tools and magic that quantify levels and stats like a game.)

　Suddenly, I came up with such a thing and decided to consult with a court magician later.

(Anyway when will he teach me his skills?)

　On becoming Glace’s disciple, he said if he recognized Brad as worthy of it, he would teach him a certain skill.

　And the acquisition of that skill was the final and greatest purpose of the three purposes of this training.

In "Final Quest", there are extra skills that can only be acquired by undergoing training from Glace. It wasn’t needed to capture the game, but for the Brad of today, it was a skill that must be acquired in order to achieve more efficient leveling.

(If I continue to practice as it is, I can become stronger, but I don't think Glace will accompany me forever just like in the game.)

　After all, Glace is fickle.

　I don't quite understand why I was accepted as a disciple in the first place. Of course, I tried to flatter him as much as I could and gave him my favorite croquettes.

　Anyway, I was practicing with Glace for that reason, but to be honest, it was a miscalculation. I didn’t expect it to be so painful.

During the story of "Final Quest", Glace asks with his unique tone of voice, "You want me to train you that much ~?” and when you answer "Yes" says “It can't be helped ~ ☆" and the special training mini-game begins. When I cleared it, I was able to acquire the skills in no time. I didn’t expect it to be so hard in reality.

"Hey, how long are you going to rest ~? I'm busy, but I'm taking the trouble to make time for you early in the morning ~ ☆"

　As I was looking up at the brightening early morning sky on the ground and thinking about that, Glace calls out to me sounding dumbfounded.

"Oh no ... I'm sorry. Let's continue!"

　Brad hurriedly replied, raising his chunky torso and standing up.

　In the past, I could never get up quickly like this, so I'm really happy that I've grown up. Brad was brilliantly evolving from an immobile fat to movable fat.

(His Weight has also decreased from 100 kg to 90 kg)

The units of weight and length in "Final Quest" are almost the same as that of the previous life, and there’s even a weight scale that uses magic power.

　So I weighed every day, and in a week I lost 10 kilos. This is probably the result of continuing such intense exercise every day and also restricting my diet. Given that I’m also gaining muscle, I should be losing more fat.

(Okay, it's going well!)

　Brad resumed training with Glace, realizing he was moving away from the death end.

　It was at that time that the second prince Alberto, who has a dog monkey relationship with Brad, appeared in the courtyard.
