But because she was being led by Edward and seeing Phil getting farther and farther behind, Natalie simply stopped running and struggled in the direction of Phil, only to be dragged by the rope around her neck and her front hooves dangling in the air, and the rope was also pulled into the mane around her neck.

Phil was in a hurry, and quickly stopped Edward, grabbed the rope, and hugged Natalie to reassure him.

Watching the two little things hug each other again, Edward clutched his arm that had been kicked by Natalie and shook his head helplessly, as if his training path would be rough and long.

Phil easily calmed Natalie and spat on the ground, gasping for breath.

No way, if you want to ask him what sport he hates the most, it's running.

He really hates the boredom of running, especially aimless long runs.

It's not that his motor nerves are underdeveloped, he really doesn't know if he doesn't run, and he is scared when he runs.

In fact, his sprints were quite fast, at least no kid about his size had ever outrun him.

This was a bit of a surprise to both him and Edward.

There is more explosiveness than endurance, this is the little fat man's evaluation of himself.

This evaluation made Edward, who had been observing for more than ten days, pout.

According to his opinion, the explosiveness is okay, but it is by no means a lack of stamina, but laziness.

This is a child who is too precocious in his self-awareness, Edward thought.

Other children always try to express themselves, hoping to get approval from adults and to understand what others say about them.

But when he came to him, although he was not in a young age, he had his own cognition and judgment of certain things early, which made him seem particularly stubborn at times, which he may not have realized.

All in all, this is a relatively good, but strange, kind-hearted, but cunning, and a little cautious.

Three days later, when the gift package that Cousin Bruce had purchased on behalf of him arrived, another gift that had been specially made for someone arrived.

It was Edward's custom-made special training equipment and solid medicine.

These things, including Edward's salary, were all borne by Earl Brad, and when Edward asked about the standard of training fees, the old earl replied that there was no standard, and the best was used.

This is just the beginning, the cost of training a high-level warrior from an early age is an astronomical amount for an ordinary family.

A large, unpainted wooden sword was a personal gift from Edward to Gil.

Coincidentally, Phil also prepared a gift for Edward, a pair of leggings made of black deer's fur.

This black deer, which is endemic to the alpine zone, is huge in size and has long fur and thick skin.

The special hollow structure of the fur can ensure that they are completely free from the low temperature of minus tens of degrees, leisurely stroll in the ice and snow, and can also release a small amount of heat absorbed during the day at night.

This was very useful for an old injury on Edward's leg, and Phil had already noticed more than once that the big fat man was unconsciously rubbing at the calf position.

Edward seemed a little surprised by Phil's carefulness, but he accepted his disciple's filial piety with peace of mind.

The equipment looked a little strange, different from what Phil imagined about dumbbells, sandbags, and the like.

Except for the hand-made emblem representing Geller in the city of Gaokan, the rest of the things were not recognizable to him, and they were very unfamiliar.

A light gray stick, the material looks like wood, but it feels very elastic to the touch, like rubber.

Phil could bend at 90 degrees with a slight effort, and when he let go, he snapped back to his original shape with a snap, almost hitting him in the nose.

The sticks were joined together by a lot of purple bands, which were thin, the size of Phil's little finger, but extremely elastic.

There is also a latch consisting of three rings at the joints of each band, which looks a bit like an adjustment device in a mountaineering rope.

Edward unwrapped the bundles and connected them with great skill.

After half a sound, he pinched two of the corners with both hands, and lifted them up, and the sticks and rubber bands fell down, swinging around his hands like a piece of clothing.

I rub, the original version of the exoskeleton armor, Phil opened his mouth wide and looked at the "dress" in amazement.

Sure enough, according to Edward's explanation, this is a thing that can be worn on the body, and the way to put it on is very complicated.

Without the help of others, he would never have been able to dress properly.

The neck, shoulders, arms, wrists, legs, and even feet are all secured in this garment.

The most complicated part of it was his back, and Phil counted at least 20 sticks and dense leather bands attached to it.

"It's a training blister, custom-made for your body size, that's why it's taken so long.

This kind of orthotic device has become popular in recent years at the Intermediate Military Academy in High Cannes City, and all the cadets are proud to have such a set, if not the price is too high...... "Edward explained as he strapped the "clothes" around Phil's body, like an aunt who was selling vegetables.

Yo, sir, I also have high-end things.

"In order not to interfere with the normal development of the body, Imperial law does not allow children under the age of 12 to wear any training equipment that increases the physical load, such as sandbags and armor.

Of course, the weapons class is counted separately.

But this type of orthodontic is a loophole in the law, it is made of very light material, it is made of the fibers of a rattan plant, soaked in a special glue for ten days, and then dried in the shade, taking advantage of its tough and elastic characteristics. ”

Phil tried to move and did a few stretches, except for the discomfort of being tied too tightly, as if he didn't feel any weight on his body.

But as the amplitude of his movements increased, there was a clear sense of blockage.

Edward casually adjusted the tightness of several locks, and continued to explain: "It has no load itself, but it plays a certain hindering role, which can correct some problems in the movement during training, make it more standardized, and improve training efficiency.

I adjust the aligner configuration to each standard training move.

And there is also a benefit after wearing, it can make your bone development healthier, and avoid strain and development deformation caused by long-term poor posture. ”

The otherworldly version of exoskeleton armor + back is good.

From this day on, Phil's training content has been changed.

Wake up half an hour every morning and go for a run with Natalie.

Half an hour after a nap, stretch the fascia, half an hour of extension exercises, and finally half an hour of strength training.

In total, train for two full hours a day.

At the same time, he also added a purple medicinal juice to his breakfast and dinner, which is said to be a secret medicine made from a mixture of several precious herbs that can nourish bones.

Although the taste is not complimentary, but looking at Edward's careful way of spilling a drop, I am afraid that the price will not be cheap.

Stretching fascia, Phil is a little used to it, as a straight man of steel who used to be unable to even cross his legs, it is still very rewarding to be able to easily make a horse in the amazed eyes of Anna and others.

I thought that the extended exercise was just a supplement after stretching the fascia, but it turned out that Phil was wrong.

Edward taught a set of 12 basic movements, but this gymnastics was not done in motion, but each movement was kept still for 10 minutes, 3 movements a day, and the cycle was repeated, which can be called an otherworldly version of the standing military posture or Pilates.

Although these movements seem rather strange and shameful, Phil is still confident, after all, each action is only 10 minutes.

But after putting on this special set of orthotics, he found that the movements that he could easily make before became jerky and laborious, especially since Edward was still standing on the sidelines, chattering and asking for breathing cooperation.

"That's because your previous movements weren't standard enough and you didn't mobilize the right muscle groups and fascia. The big fat man smacked Phil with a blank face.

He demonstrated the standard movements again, this time much slower, from the posture of the starting hands, the angle of the limbs, to the feeling that each fascia should feel, all of them were broken down and explained in detail, and then taught them by hand.

I don't know if it's Phil's delusion, but Edward's attitude towards him seems to be more and more kind these days, and the interaction in teaching is much more natural.

The kindness here does not refer to the false smile on the fat face in the past, in fact, he is not smiling now.

But Phil could feel Edward's seriousness from this seriousness, and it seemed that the other party really began to regard himself as a student, not just a young master of a noble family.
