Did the villainous professor survive today?

The next day was Thursday.

At six o'clock in the morning, when it was still barely light, Krenk got up and knocked on Sophia's bedroom door.

There was no reaction; it was obvious that Sofia was still fast asleep inside.

Kroenke pushed the door open and went inside.

"Hey, get up."

Krenk went to Sophia, who was wrapped in a blanket, and woke her up.

"Hey, brother, why are you up so early..." Sophia's brain was still in a state of flux.

"Get up."

"Wait, let me sleep a little longer..."

Sofia smacked her lips and murmured, unwilling to leave her dreamland.

Krenk reached out to grab Sophia's wrist, intending to pull her off the bed.

Like chewing gum stuck to the bed, Sofia was just pulled up by Krenk, but she stuck back up and refused to get out of bed no matter what.

After repeating this several times, Krenk finally managed to pull Sophia off the bed.

Kroenke brought the sleepy Sophia to the restaurant.

"Young master, young lady, why are you here so early today?"

The butler, who was still preparing breakfast, saw Krenk and Sophia and said with some surprise.

"Is there anything to eat?" Krenk asked.

"Well, yes, but not much," the housekeeper said. "The dough for those freshly baked pastries is still fermenting, and the oatmeal porridge is also cooking."

"It's alright, let's have something simple to fill our stomachs first."

Kroenke said.

The butler strode towards the kitchen and soon brought out some freshly baked cold dishes: ham, eggs, toast, and fruit tarts.

As for the dessert for breakfast, it was a pastry called Cherry Jubilee.

This is a gorgeous dessert that uses liquor to ignite cherries. The process involves boiling fresh cherries, sugar, and orange juice, pouring in spirits, and igniting them to create a stunning spectacle of blue flames dancing on deep red cherries. Finally, it is served over vanilla ice cream along with a thick sauce.

Krenk took a bite and found it extremely sweet, while Sophia ate it with great relish.

After a simple meal, Sofia also woke up.

She and Krenk went to the front yard. After putting on her leather armor, she held a wooden sword and looked at Krenk with a smile:

"Brother, let's begin. Remember, this grueling training was your idea, so don't let me beat you until you cry."

"Yes, I hope you can keep that smile for a while."

Kroenke, on the other hand, remained calm.

He took out the Spirit Reagent, bit off the stopper, and downed it in one gulp:

"bring it on."

Five hours later.

The sun had been hanging in the sky for half a day, and the scorching sunlight pierced down like sharp blades.

"Okay, that's enough."

Krenk was drenched in sweat. After nearly five hours of practice, he felt that he had lost several pounds just from sweating.

"Brother, you...you're being way too fussy..."

Even Sofia, who was serving as a sparring partner, appeared to be panting heavily at this moment.

She didn't expect her brother to be so persistent, practicing for five hours straight without taking a break.

She wiped the sweat from her forehead and reminded her:

"Brother, if you keep practicing like this, you won't be able to move your body the next day."

"It's alright, I know what I'm doing. You just need to worry about yourself."

Kroenke said.

He had already thought of solutions for the side effects of the grueling training.

If it's a physical strain, he can use Alice's "Flesh and Blood Healing" to repair it.

As for the lactic acid buildup on the second day, you can use Barrett's "Purification" to detoxify.

The only thing to worry about is that Sofia can't keep up with his pace.

The two returned to the dining table together and ate lunch.

"By the way, Krenk, Sophia, why are you two so diligent today?"

Richard heard the sound of wooden swords being struck coming from the front yard early in the morning, which left him completely confused.

"My brother came to me last night, hoping I would give him some 'devil training'."

Due to physical exertion, Sofia's eating habits became much more rude and unladylike.

"Hellish training?" Richard was taken aback. "Kroenke, did you suggest it?"

Krenk nodded slightly and hummed in agreement.

Even those with extraordinary abilities wouldn't want to say a word after experiencing such intense exercise.

I don't even feel like eating.

To ensure he had the strength to continue eating, Klenk almost forced himself to eat.

After finishing his meal, Kroenke stood up and wiped his mouth:

"Sophia, get some rest. I'll wake you up on time this afternoon."

"oh."

Sofia nodded.

About an hour and a half after lunch, Krenk went to Sofia's bedside again and woke her up:

"Sophia, your rest is over, it's time to get up and practice."

"yawn……"

Sophia's mouth dropped open. She had only fallen asleep a short while ago when Krenk woke her up. She rubbed her sleepy eyes...

"No, bro, are you serious?"

"I told you, it's grueling training, we'll train until 10 p.m."

Kroenke didn't give Sophia a chance to react, grabbing her and walking outside.

"Huh? Practicing until 10 PM?!" Sophia woke up instantly, her eyes wide, as if afraid Krenko would die before her eyes. "Brother, are you out of your mind?"

"This is nothing!"

Kroenke laughed dismissively.

This intensity was just like his daily overtime work at a large company in his previous life.

He led Sophia to the front yard, where the once somewhat messy area had been cleaned up by the servants, and the swords and protective gear were neatly arranged, ready for use.

"Come on, Sophia."

"Brother, you wait!" Sophia, who had been disturbed from her afternoon nap, was full of resentment and vowed to beat Krenk so badly that he would never want to undergo such grueling training again.

……

The third day, Friday.

It was still six o'clock in the morning when Kroenke knocked on Sophia's bedroom door right on time.

"Holy crap, bro, what are you doing here?!"

Sofia looked like she'd seen a ghost.

"Didn't we agree to undergo grueling training these next few days?"

Krenk, on the other hand, seemed quite relaxed. With Alice and Barrett, the two elves, providing him with logistical support, he didn't need to worry about the side effects of overexertion.

"Brother, with all that intensity yesterday, weren't you in pain when you woke up?"

Sofia stared in shock at Krenk, who was stretching out in front of her bed.

"Excellent!" Kroenke smiled confidently. "I feel fantastic."

"Brother, are you a monster?"

Sofia, as a sparring partner, felt sore and achy all over after a long day.

The first time I saw the fields were all ruined by plowing, but the oxen were still full of energy.

"Enough of this," Krenk said, pulling Sophia off the bed. "Get out of bed and eat. Don't waste time practicing."

……

Day four, Saturday.

"Brother, you...you're still alive?!"

Sophia stared in horror at Krenk, whose image had been updated on her bedside table right on time.

"Didn't we agree on this? We'd be doing grueling training for the next few days," Krenk said sarcastically, as if nothing had happened.

"You promised to show me what devilish training is like, why isn't that happening?"

"Brother, I'm not practicing anymore, I'm not practicing anymore, go tell Mom..."

Sofia's eyes were as empty as a female knight being dragged into a goblin cave.

"No, it's only the third day, how can we give up so easily?"

Kroenke's tone was resolute, as if it were Sophia, not him, who was about to undergo grueling training.

"Brother, please spare me."

"I refuse."

Krenk dragged the tattered Sophia outside and continued training.
