Sorcha Knight In The City 26 She Is Missing You

"Huff, huff" loud even breathing was heard from the girl. The water in the bucket constantly sways inside, but it doesn't splash out.

She looked straight to her path and saw her uncle waiting for her while standing straight in front of the mansion gates. He stood there wearing a plain white s.h.i.+rt and black shorts, with his face neutral.

The uncle glanced at his watch and said, "27 minutes. Good, earlier by 3 minutes."

Sorcha nodded, still catching her breath.

"Drink water. Rest but do not sit." Uncle David ordered.

"Yes!" Sorcha answered.

She breathed heavily then walked towards her uncle, taking the bottle in his hand, before drinking several gulps of water.

It has been a week since her daily training started. It was more on just running and running. Sometimes, her uncle David will also ask her to carry things like those pail of water or just attach weights on her arms and legs. There are also times when her dad Anthony would come oversee her while training.

Her body may be stronger than regular people, but her uncle David still managed to find out her limit, and constantly helps her in exceeding it.

After seeing her stop drinking, David said, "Soldiers need to have a st.u.r.dy and tough body. From tomorrow onwards, you'll still continue your daily running in the morning but now, we'll add self defense and physical combat on your schedule. Tough body is important but remember that combat ability is more significant, especially in the battlefield."

Sorcha's head nodded heavily while listening to her uncle, keeping everything her uncle say in her mind.

"Come, try kicking with your right leg." Uncle David told her.

Sorcha hummed in agreement then forcefully kicked.

David caught her legs and said, "Good, kick with the left."

She again did as he said, and David caught it once more.

"You seem to apply more force when using your right leg. We'll fix that next time. You'll have to train both, making them equal in power if possible. That should be the same with your arms."

Sorcha nodded her head. "I understand."

"Good!" Uncle David then laughed, returning to his gentle and kind Uncle role. "Alright! That's it for now. We'll resume training tomorrow. Haha! your mom kept on complaining to your dad about how she couldn't see you much like before. Go and spend some time with her."

Sorcha scratched her head and felt guilty inside, thinking about how she really didn't spend much more time with her mother.

"Then thank you uncle David for today." She said then straightened her back and bowed a bit towards him.

"Let's go inside. Your aunt Claire has prepared your breakfast already." David smiled at Sorcha. 'This girl really has a tough character. She never even complained once ever since we started training." He praised her inside, feeling proud about being the girl's teacher.

Sorcha smiled back at him and agreed. Both of them entered the mansion, the girl at the front and the man followed from behind.
