I Was Banished From the Hero Party I Raised

3. Start training (2)

“The first training to be done is ‘not using magic’.”

It was the first step in my Vivian training schedule.

Vivian furrowed one eyebrow as if she had heard it wrong.

“uh… yes?”

“I don’t use magic. next 14 days. Vivian must never use magic.”

There are many reasons for this, but I don’t know what to explain first… .

“yes. I know.”

Uh, why don’t you agree right away?

I was preparing to explain… .

“Like me… . No, if it’s Ian-nim’s word, I’ll follow it unconditionally. I will.”

Thank you for trusting me, but I feel a little empty.

But, well, with this level of training, you won’t be upset.

There were times when the 1st party went against my training method, saying it was nonsense at first.

“that… Hmmm. Aren’t you curious why this is the way it is?”

“I’m curious, but I think I can just follow Ian’s words. You know a lot better than I do.”

Well. Believe me so much, I can’t help it.

… Thank you, but why is the aftertaste so bitter?

“Looks like Ian wants to explain.”

“Hey, no.”

“Hmm?”

Mercy that… .

“ah! It was like that… ? Sorry, I’m not paying attention… .”

It feels like lying down and receiving me, but this… .

Mercy and Vivian demanded an explanation, so I had no choice but to keep my mouth shut.

“Right now, Vivian has a few unnecessary habits when using magic. Even with an external action, maybe even at the stage of opening a circuit from the inside. The reason I don’t use magic is simple. In order to learn again from the beginning, you erase what you learned before.”

“Oh oh… !”

Vivian nodded her head, as if she had come to realize.

It’s not acting… .

Anyway, breaking the habit is important.

To get the foundation right, you need to forget what you learned wrong.

“Are you just not using magic for 14 days?”

“No, no way.”

It’s the basic of basics.

These are just some of the trainings I have prepared.

“There are many things to do. That’s the second training I’m going to do.”

This isn’t really what you would call training.

It’s because you have to accept it as part of your life, like not using magic.

Rather, this side is closer to life.

“Eat well.”

Not using magic was a plan for Vivian, who had a bad habit.

What brought the 1st warrior party to where it is now is ‘eating’, not anything else.

“Are you eating well?”

Carbohydrates, proteins, and fats.

Other dietary fiber and vitamins.

You need to eat a certain amount of calories and all nutrients throughout the day to keep your body healthy.

‘Mana’ requires a lot of energy, so warriors should especially eat well.

It’s not well known in this world, but I came from modern times and I have knowledge of nutrition.

I didn’t know that what I learned while working out as a hobby would be used when raising a hero in this world.

It is a fact that I confirmed with my body during the second round that more than the normal amount and balanced nutrients are especially important to the warrior.

It is certain that the 1st party guys also significantly improved their mana management and physical abilities after changing their diet.

The reason why the 1st party was forced to eat three meals a day.

And it was one of the reasons why we spend so much money on food.

A warrior must eat well, and he must eat a lot.

they don’t know

“yes. Then let’s go right away.”

“Where are you… ?”

“To eat.”

***

The campsite of the 1st warrior party.

Today was the last time I was outside.

Thanks to another letter from the city of Badenberg asking for a tour, Penny was able to plan her move.

If Ian hadn’t burned the papers, he wouldn’t have suffered like this.

The four warriors were delighted to hear that they would show their faces to the citizens and attend the banquet.

It was dissatisfying that Penny didn’t bring information about dungeons or demons, but at least the overnight stay was over.

So, until yesterday, I definitely liked everyone.

This morning was different.

The table gathered for breakfast.

The four warriors glared at the food in front of them as if they were going to kill them, and then moved their gaze directly to Penny.

“Why is that?”

Penny smiled, narrow eyes, as always.

“Why?”

Kylie shot at the table as if toppling it.

“Are you asking us to eat something like this?”

“This is a luxurious enough meal.”

Actually it was.

The food spread out in front of them now was something that only went up to the table of moderate nobles.

Such luxurious food was piled up in a pile.

Even so, the quality was different from when Ian was around.

Meat covered in fishy smell with cheap spices.

The stew was so thin that it flowed like water.

Bread that can compete with stones.

Noodles cooked with low-quality oil.

Meals for ordinary nobles in this world were only about that, and it did not suit the taste of the first party who had been accustomed to Ian’s diet.

Ian has been procuring only the best ingredients by grasping the supply and distribution flow of the surrounding cities, even using memory correction.

Spices were not cheap, but only the proper ones handled by the imperial family were used.

But Penny and the first party members didn’t know the other side of it.

By her standards, a meal of this size was a luxury.

“It’s different from the promise!”

Arya jumped up.

“Didn’t you say that you could maintain your existing life while cutting costs?!”

“It was.”

“But what the hell is this?!”

“I hope you understand that the food has changed. Ian’s stockpile of food has run out, and the cook he hired has left.”

Beatrice also intervened.

“Then it’s different from the previous life. What are you doing now?”

“I promised to treat you better than before. If you compare your increased free time and gold coins to this ration, isn’t it much better?”

Penny shot politely but sharply.

“And if you eat all of these here, you’ll be as full as before.”

Although the quality and type of food changed, the overall quantity remained the same.

In other words, there is no significant change in the ‘quantity’ of food.

In that respect, Penny’s words weren’t lying.

“It’s hard to understand your reaction. If you eat it anyway, it’s all there. What you eat is so important?”

“But this is not it!”

Arya sighed and demanded.

“Hmm… . Apparently Aria-sama said that she was dissatisfied with spending too much money on food. He said he doesn’t like being forced to eat every day.”

“That, that means you have the ledger… .”

“The cost of food is excessive, what I pointed out is correct. But you, Aria-sama, expressed dissatisfaction with that. is not it?”

“… … .”

It was subtle and mean, but there was no lie in Penny’s words.

“If you really don’t like it, you can eat your own meals with the increased salary.”

“It’s not enough to even spend on food! I borrowed money from Ian before… .”

“… ?”

Penny just wondered at that.

It’s common for famous warriors to get drunk on luxury and pleasure, so let’s say that.

But you borrowed money from Ian?

‘You mean he took the most money and gave it to the warriors? If that’s the case, what’s the point of distributing salaries like that… .’

Again, I see these warriors again.

He cheated, but how stupid he was.

Or, maybe it’s Ian who’s stupid?

It is only natural that idiots become more stupid because management and education are neglected.

“ha… . First of all, since this is a campsite, please forgive the poor quality of the food. Dissemination is not easy. I’ll try to pay more attention when I go to the city.”

After saying that, the warrior party ventured into a meal they didn’t like.

Penny didn’t like to see it and went into the tent.

‘Philip… . Your party is going this way, where are you?’

***

“… … .”

Vivian silently looked down at the food in front of her.

It seems to be happy, and it seems to be afraid.

Food doesn’t even eat you, so why are you doing that?

Anyway, I continued carrying food.

Coincidentally, there is a space where you can cook autonomously in the training camp cafeteria, so I put some effort into it.

I asked Kati and Mercy to procure the freshest ingredients, and I made everything that could be made from that line.

When they finally set down the last plate, Vivian said.

“I don’t think I can eat it all… .”

There was so much food prepared that I could hold it in my arms.

People passing by stare at it in amazement.

“Well. Wouldn’t it be?”

Beef Pasta with Creamy Stew.

Olive oil-roasted chicken, sprinkled with pepper and salt, and asparagus… .

Many are also listed.

Vivian said it was impossible, but it was not at all.

It’s about half of a meal for each kid in the first party.

Now Vivian’s stomach is atrophied due to malnutrition, so she can’t feed too much at once, so she reduced even this.

Even superhumans don’t know how much they can eat or how much they should eat.

It is not that he is a superman from birth, but that he becomes a superman by chance while growing up.

So most of them keep the eating habits they used to eat.

“Eat once. If you can’t eat it, you can leave it.”

“Yes, yes… . What to eat… . This is the first time I’ve had such expensive-looking food… .”

Carbohydrates, proteins, fats, and dietary fiber.

Even the vitamins contained in dessert fruit.

It is a diet that takes care of all the nutrients and even the taste.

There is only one reason why quality as well as quantity of food is important to Choin.

It’s because of mana management.

If you don’t eat enough, you can’t properly generate mana in your body.

If you don’t eat it evenly, the circuit will get debris.

It’s similar to having fat clotted in an unmanaged blood vessel that prevents blood from flowing through it.

All warriors, not just wizards, deal with mana.

Whether it embodies magic, works miracles, or strengthens the body.

The classes are different depending on the method, but the fundamentals are the same.

After all, if you eat well, you can manage mana easily.

Sylvia was able to improve her magic skills just by managing her diet.

Vivian, who had been eating the nearest food, suddenly shed tears.

“Why, why?”

“No, sorry… . That’s because it’s so delicious… .”

be surprised

I thought it didn’t fit my mouth.

“I-I wonder if I can eat this… .”

“Eat and follow me diligently. That’s it.”

“Yes Yes… . I will work really hard… .”

It’s almost like eating bread with tears in it.

Vivian, who had been eating for a while, muttered bitterly.

“The kids would love to eat something like this… .”

Even in the middle of this, you’re thinking of the kids.

I am satisfied that I have chosen one personality well.

You can’t go to the monastery and cook yourself, but it’ll be enough to donate food.

I’ll have to deal with it later.

By the time Vivian was stably eating.

Next to him, Mercy cut a piece of beef the size of his forearm that he had been waiting for so long.

Kati ate a meal provided by the restaurant for a fee.

I wondered if they cared about the nutritional value, and it turned out to be a piece of shit.

It seems that the right ingredients are brought and served that day.

By the way, Kati is always selfish even when I do it for her.

He is the owner only in words.

I couldn’t skip it either, so I brought something to eat.

It is a porridge made with chicken, whole grains, vegetables, nuts, and milk.

It doesn’t taste good, but it has all the nutrients, and above all, it’s cheap and convenient.

“… What is that?”

Vivian looked at my bowl and asked.

“Well… . Total porridge? Would you like to eat?”

“Well, if that’s the case… .”

Instead of answering, he pushed the bowl.

Vivian took a spoonful, put it in her mouth, and chewed.

Gradually, his expression hardens as if he had been bitten by an insect.

“… Well, it’s presumptuous, but can I be honest with you?”

“It’s off topic, so if there’s something you want to say, just say it. You can have a double bath.”

“I-I’m like that… ! Oh, whatever. this is that… . I think I ripped off the bark and put it in milk and boiled it.”

Well… .

When I heard it, I really felt that way.

“Why did you give me this… .”

“Well, is this cheap?”

I didn’t eat anything like this in the first place.

After catering to the 1st party guys, I had no choice but to give up my personal greed.

Give the kids more food, and if they ask for money from time to time, you have to give it.

I also donated here and there in their name.

Refugees, nurseries, etc.

In fact, that’s the reason why my share is the biggest in the money distribution.

They don’t have economic ideas, so they spend too much money.

It was easier to manage if I held it a little longer and gave it a few pennies when I whined.

Anyway. The first thing I gave up was food.

It’s me, it’s okay if I roughly match the nutrients and amount.

Back then, they were more important than me.

So I lived with sugar bars in my mouth.

I didn’t want to give up that sweetness.

Oh, I have to eat them all and make them again.

“Ian, do you hate food?”

“Please. I like delicious food too.”

“then… Eat together.”

“… yes?”

Not only me, but also Mercy and Kati, who were eating next to me, raised their heads abruptly.

When the eyes of the three gathered, Vivian didn’t know what to do.

“Uh, uh, why, why so… . What did I do wrong… ?”

dreamy dreamy.

Mercy and Kati probably have the same reaction as me.

Kati can’t be seen because of the eyepatch.

let’s eat together… .

How long has it been since I’ve heard that?

To be precise, it’s been so long since it’s been so long since I’ve heard from someone other than Mercy and Kati that it’s awkward.

When I was at the first party, I ate this porridge almost alone.

We eat together sometimes like Mercy or Kati.

There was no warrior who cared about what I ate.

Although there were times before, when we were better together.

I felt sorry for Mercy and Kati, who cut down on their meals because of me.

I didn’t intend to even touch the cost of food for the two of them, but since I didn’t eat, they insisted that they cut down accordingly.

But no way, I thought Vivian would ask me to eat together.

Totally unexpected.

Unknowingly, I laughed.

Mercy laughed as well.

“Uh… .”

Even though Vivian was nervous, she laughed awkwardly and laughed along.

“You picked the right people.”

“I know.”

“Hehehe… .”

“Okay, let’s eat together.”

I will have to buy more groceries in the future.

“That tasteless porridge… .”

“We should eat this too.”

“Eh.”

“As much as we share, won’t Miss Vivian give you? So, we have to fill the amount with this.”

“oh… .”

Vivian pursed her lips, perhaps recalling the taste from earlier.

Even so, I agree to know.

It’s been a long time since Mercy, Kati, me, and the hero I chose were eating together.

*

Vivian’s words that she wouldn’t eat it all didn’t come true.

She scraped all the way to the bottom of the bowl before declaring she was full.

“I really can’t eat anymore… .”

“Look, I thought I would eat them all.”

“I didn’t know it would go this far… .”

I left the restaurant and walked slowly through the playground in front of the training center.

Aspirants gathered here and there to train or take classes.

I walked along the edge and stopped abruptly.

“Let’s train right away.”

“Uh… . I just ate… . No, I will.”

good attitude

After all, the warrior’s body is different from that of ordinary people.

Even if you eat and exercise vigorously, you won’t get sick or anything like that.

I took out a training tool from my bosom.

“… What is that?”

“Ah, this. It is a thick piece of solidified slime attached to the hammer head.”

It is what is called a blow hammer in modern times.

It is used here to whip the training warriors.

it’s me

“Why… .”

“Jump.”

“yes?”

“The edge of the playground, run. Every time I get late, I get hit with one of these.”

“Uh… .”

“run!”

“yes-!”

Vivian started to run, panting.

The real training starts now.
