Chapter 25: (Self Edited) First Lecture
The lecture started the morning of the next day. We, the first grader, took off the uniform, dressed in athletic clothes designated by the Academy, and gathered at the schoolyard.
The yard was excessively wide. It was a garden with bare rectangular soil, close to the schoolyard that was in Japanese schools.
However, there were no oval lines drawn. The ground was merely being leveled. There was no place where it had become a hill and valley, and it was still a beautiful land leveling. That wasn’t at all. The grass had been pulled out, and it was scattered like a small gravel stone of grains.
‘I wonder what kind of training we would do. Well, the people here are nobles as well, so it’s probably not bad, maybe.’
“We’re going to run today. Run until I say you’re good to go.” (??)
The instructor said so.
‘Eh… Is it rather a Sparta training? Well, this is what it is.’
‘For those who have never done a full-fledged exercise, they need to run first in order to train them. I’m sure that is the standard.’
“Your answer should be YES!” (Instructor)
