When Theo successfully cured the mage Daria from the 'Arcane Decay' disease, a notification from the system suddenly appeared as if giving a reward for completing the mission. While this side mission at that time had no reward at all. But for some reason, quite a lot of notifications suddenly appeared.

============
This notification was a big gift for Theo, he didn't expect that now Theo was no longer a young master who was not talented. Theo had now become a young master who was quite talented but very intelligent.
At that moment Theo muttered happily to himself while saying,
"Finally! what a great gift this is!"
"This system, somehow I'm a big fan of this system! heheh."
Currently, Theo has been Awakened with a 1-star E Rank tier. Although Theo's tier rank is very weak, this tier system can still be improved, and it depends on how much effort Theo puts in to become strong.
As for the mages Alden and Daria, they both began attending meetings with Theo's father, Count Lucien, to discuss the Caerstellar family's grand plan.
After hearing the plan, the two mages began to agree and planned to start helping in the development process of the four-part region.
With this, the plan for the development of this four-part region or what is called the four big pillars, will be able to be completed quickly in approximately two years from now.
All workers began to get busy to complete the construction of this area, Count Lucien and his troops helped ten workers that Theo recruited to be able to speed up the completion of the construction. While Theo tried to help make a Blueprint of what form the building would be built like.
This construction has been going on for about two weeks, and Count Lucien was quite surprised because it had only been two weeks but several small buildings were already finished, such as a residential house, a forge room used to forge weapons, and several other small buildings.
And during these two weeks, Theo's task of making the architectural blueprint for the area's buildings was finally completed, he then handed over the blueprint to Thrain Ironbeard, a dwarves who was an expert in construction and making weapons.
The next day, Theo, who had completed his task, finally began to get serious about training to become stronger. Theo does not want to be a burden to his family or his team later, he is determined to become strong as soon as possible even if the obstacle is death, Theo will still face it.
Then, according to Knight Cedric's previous words that Knight Cedric wanted to teach young master Theo in using the Sword. Knight Cedric taught this so that young master Theo could protect himself even though Theo was not a talented person in the field of ability or strength.
However, at that time Cedric did not know that Theo had already Awakened to 1-Star, E Rank. When Knight Cedric was about to teach Theo the basics of using a sword.
Suddenly Knight Cedric was shocked,
"This is impossible! Young master has already awakened 1-Star, E Rank? How is that possible!?" Said Knight Cedric who seemed not to believe that Theo, who was thought to have no talent, was all a lie.
"Ah sorry, I forgot to tell you yesterday. For some reason I suddenly awakened after we fought against the mage Alden and Daria" Theo said pretending like he didn't know he had awakened.
"It seems you are indeed a talented person, young master!" Knight Cedric said proudly that his young master was indeed talented.
Then, Theo began to train with Knight Cedric, from the basics of swordsmanship Theo learned everything. The initial training before holding a sword is the physical and posture basics.
The purpose of this exercise is to shape Theo's physical body to be able to hold and swing the sword efficiently. This exercise begins with foot position exercises such as forward stance and side stance which are useful for maintaining balance.
After that, footwork training, namely training steps forward, backward, sideways, rotation, to rhythm speed. This training is very important to train the movement instincts of a sword user's body. Next is Grip and Handling training, namely training to hold a sword using one or two hands, the goal is to distinguish between heavy swords and light swords.
And the last exercise is strength training. This exercise is very important to increase the endurance of a swordsman, Theo is required to do push ups and run around the eastern region of Staellar for ten laps while carrying weights on his feet and hands.
Theo did the training continuously for three weeks. At first Theo complained about the very heavy training, he even tried to pretend to be sick, because at that time Theo wanted to avoid the heavy training for two days. However, the plan failed because Knight Cedric's daughter came to Theo.
"Young master, are you okay?" Said Seraphine, Knight Cedric's daughter.
At that moment, Theo heard a familiar voice, and it sounded like Seraphine's voice.
"What's wrong, Seraphine?" Theo said in a non-formal way like a normal friend.
"Uh, uhm... this is for you, young master!" Seraphine said with a blush while giving a homemade cake just for Theo.
At that time, Seraphine had been watching Theo during the training for the past few days, and she seemed happy to see this young master Theo training with his father. Seraphine saw that Theo seemed stressed or even exhausted due to the hard training given by Seraphine's father. Therefore, Seraphine tried to give something to make Theo excited again to start training again.
However, because of this, Theo did not realize that the cake he ate could increase his stamina, then Knight Cedric came and saw that Theo's body looked healthy, then he took Theo to the training ground again.
At that time, Theo seemed to regret having to eat the gift from Seraphine, even though Theo had planned not to join the training because his body was tired and needed rest, but because Theo ate the stamina-enhancing cake, Theo finally became healthy again.
"Ugh, what bad luck! If I knew I wouldn't have eaten that cake!"Theo said while full of annoyance at himself and also at Knight Cedric.
However, at that time Seraphine also came and saw Theo who was practicing. However, Theo gave an annoyed expression to Seraphine from a distance, while Seraphine considered the expression as a thank you for helping her recover and practice again.
Theo also practiced while camping full of annoyance,
"Ugh this girl is just making me stressed."
"Father and his daughter, they're the same, making me stressed!"
Training went back to normal,
Fill the pressure for Theo.
