Valt's 101 Training: Standard Edition [Eito]

That was such an awful pun, Valt must admit. That's almost as bad as Papa's. But at the very least he seem to appreciate Eito's performance. He's not shameful, but definitely could use some more training. Quickly, the Vmon undoed the weighted items. "So the thing was these was used to test how good you are with weight dragging you at spots that shouldn't be normal to support these weights. Don't equip it all the time. Just do once in a while to test yourself. It'll mess up with your bone, I guess. And yeah, take off your coat. Anyway, from that little show, I could see that you're quite fit, Eito. So you're not that bad. All we gonna do is to make you learn the fundamental like push up, sit up, a bit of camping too if you're up for it."

"Oh right, we're going to camp, huh?"

"And work, don't forget the work. Anyway, Eito, the plan is to of course train you for a while in basic. Think you have about... err... five days or something? If you have that long, We don't have to do crash course, but if you only have today... welp... Gotta crash course it."

"Are you sure that's wise?"

"Of course not. Anyway, we'll be arriving in the forest in like five minutes. Rest well Eito. Our little training is about to begin! Before you knew it, I'll make you your school top athlete!"

"...Aren't you going a lil bit too fired up there, Valt?"

"Yes, camping. You might think you don't need this skill because you got Tetsu, but remember, there are times where you might have to take a rest in small place where Tetsu can't get in before continuing. So, at the very least you need to learn how to make yourself comfortable in the wild. Invest few bits in Infini-Store! I'm sure it'll worth it! Also, it's Digital World. If it's analog world then... well, how to say this... Aniki got responsibility there. He also got job in his family's store, so there you have it. How about this though... we can probably spend like... two weeks in digital world, Digital World time, of course, every week real world time? Like, saturday and sunday?"

"...Ain't that too much?" Ryouta asked. "I felt like a week is already enough. Eito probably have something that he want to do too."

"Hmm, I guess that's true. But either way, just keep up your training on what I'll be teaching you and you'll be fit in no time! Heheh, of course it have both world application!"

Now that they've arrived, Valt was the one who jumped out first, then approached a huge Kuwagamon. As expected, Server Woods seem to always require some trimming. There's just ridiculous amount of trees growing, and they're approaching civilization. If they're not regularly cut down, it's seem they'll overtook the place in no time.

"So, for now, let's leave the work for later. Eito, Let's see how much you can do push up and sit ups!"

"So it ended up being normal thing huh... Well, I'll get to working is that fine with ya, Valt?"

"'s OK, Aniki! Do you need a help?"

"Nah, issok, just focus on the guy for now. Well, Eito," Ryouta slapped the youth's back "good luck. Senpai over here will be cheering for you," he commented, grinning mischievously. Soon, Ryouta seem to follow Kuwagamon to place about a hundred meters away from where Eito and Valt is. They started their logging work.

While Eito pushupped, Valt counted while reading a book. It's seem to be some form of training book. "Don't worry too much about this Eito," came Ryouta's encouragement "Back when I was new at this I only can do fourty. Sooner or later you'll probably can do sixty in one go But for now don't do it in one go. Try to divide it in two sets. Probably twenty each. Take a break, about sixty seconds between sets. Then you try again!"

"Well, all that Aniki said. Our current goal is to measure your physical capability. By doing this, we'll then make a training menu for ya! Maybe it's worth to invest some form of training gym in one of Tetsu's compartment, eh? Hehe."

"...Seriously, don't make all kid you know into a training addict!" Ryouta scolded. "Ei, Eito! If this guy getting a bit too crazy, tell me! I'll scold him! Seriously, why are you so pumped up?"

"Basically, it's because Master Valt really like to train newbies into someone who could take Digital World. Survival is a skill that's needed, and Master Valt apparently took his role as a mentor seriously. To have people under his wing surviving is the best reward he could ever ask for. That is why I guess," Ilbert supplemented.

The same way when Eito did a sit up, Valt also counted and put the number in on a small piece of paper. "Yeah! Just so you know, our first students are Super Ultimate level now. So I want to keep a good streak of training newbies and get them to be one of the powerhouses!"

Ryouta honestly felt like he just sweatdropped. "...Well, sorry there, Eito... looks like you managed to make Valt fired up. But he means well... I hope."

"How about pull ups next?" Valt told the younger teen. "But for now take a lil bit rest first. I'm sure your arms are sore. Here, drink this. It's a sports drink made by Aniki. The jelly inside should probably make it a bit more interesting to drink!"

"Oh it'll worth it!" Valt commented, grinning widely. "Even if you're not an athlete, you'll understand the benefit of a fit body."

"You won't give him spartan training, right bud?" Ryouta asked.

"Nope, that's for Digimon, not for human. I'm just giving him standard and a bit harder training style, Probably a bit of simulation, but that's about it. We're not talking about real training with real danger here."

Hearing that, Ryouta exhaled in relief. "Looks like you'll be fine after all. Why don't you tell him the end goal?"

"Ah right, Eito! I'll tell you the end goal of our training. I imagine this will be on a level that you probably will thought that it's impossible at the moment, but I'm planning you to be good enough to be able to run above Tetsu's compartment in case a real danger arise, so you can run from compartment to compartment. Of course this is not something that you can achieve in a week, but this is the end goal of all this training. In order to do that: balance, speed and nimbleness is needed. So you'll have to learn a bit of parkour, balance training and to increase your upper body strength more to pull yourself up and whatnots. So don't worry, it won't be anything extreme."

It's seem that Eito doesn't like the jelly mix. Alright, he'll put that to notes.

"Well, once you're ready, try to climb the tree and hang on the branch, then do pullup. But before that..."

Valt took out several mattresses from Ilbert's compartment and line it below the said branch.

"There, safe to fall in case you're too tired now!"

On Eito's question, suddenly Valt just looked at him with a funny expression plastered on his face. But what it looked like is definitely like that should be obvious, right?

"Oh believe me," suddenly Ilbert quipped. "He definitely is firm believer of that."

"Yeah, I am. I mean, Aniki's training was literally that. Ever seen D**gon B*ll? Aniki's training was that sort, at least back when I was still a Dracomon. He did that sort of training, real danger and all. Literal lasers shooting at you, you know... But in our case it was shock lasers, so it's less dangerous."

"I DID WHAT!?" Ryouta who in middle of his work stopped almost immediately.

"Yeah, you did that. Except the gravity part, obviously, and with rubber sword to deflect the attacks because you can't fly."

"...I... I..." even the guy apparently was speechless.

"Anyway, Eito, Thing is, everyone have their limit. What would you feel if I suddenly tell you to climb up a cliff with twenty kilos of weight strapped on your body? Impossible, right? If you're as strong as Aniki, you can probably do it, but even so I'm not here to break your spirit, Eito. I'm here to temper it," gently, Valt tapped the youth's chest with his index finger.

"There's no reason for me to break you and tell you to go big or go home. I'm here to teach you survival, not trying to give you hell training. There's just a limit of how much you can bend someone before they break. I'm doing exactly that. I'm bending you, but I'm not letting you break on me. When I saw you the first time back then, you sounded broken. Like... you saw something really nasty. If I do that to you on top of what you experienced back then, then I'm a shitty teacher. I want to be yours and Tetsu's strength, a mentor that could make you improve, not to let you taste despair.."

Ryouta smiled slightly. Yeah, this is better than giving them literal hell. Valt is actually more mature than he think. By now, he seem finished cutting about ten trees.

"Well, then, while we're at it, might as well as to teach my junior something, so you two could benefit more from the time," Ilbert said. "Could you please call out Tetsu, young man?"

"Hold. That sounded like someone forced you to do that... almost literally?" Valt asked suspiciously. "...I felt like that sort of training will not benefit any of you. I'm a believer of what can't kill you make you stronger, but I'm also logical enough to know that if a training become a trauma for you, repeating the training is only effective as punishment. It's no longer a training at that point."

...What's going on with the kid, Ryouta have no idea, but he decided that it's probably time for the next training. He instinctively know what sort of training that Valt will have in mind. He tossed a particularly small, but strong long. Valt catched it and planted it on the ground firmly.

"I guess next one is balancing. Get up there and raise one of your leg up. Keep your balance as long as you can. For now... let's see... five minutes on each leg should do. I guess no mattress will be needed because it's short enough, right? You're fine with a lil bit of pain, right?"

Well, it's obviously a reasonable training. It's not high at all, just about two stairs steps worth of height.

"Right young man, I'll not exactly 'train' you per se, but I need to know what sort of equipment you have so far. I might also help in suggesting what sort of Digimons that might be useful for your team, if you got me. However! Do not take my counsel as something you must do. Instead, try to find weakness in it, improve it, and choose by your own. Do you understand? Now, tell me what sort of techniques you have."
