2nd Person POV

The following day... You can say that it was pretty hectic. Noelle had waken you up at the timing she mentioned the previous night. You work up in the dawn of the morning, you were unable to see any sunrise at that moment. Is Noelle like this... You hesitated as the maid gave you some light clothes for the training.

After leaving the headquarters and passing through the gate leads to the boat deck, Noelle started to run which you immediately followed after. During the run, the distance between You and Noelle was almost miles. You tried putting on your best effort in keeping up with Noelle as she wondered if you were behind her.

After running around the walls of Mondstadt twice, you collapsed on the soft grass as your panted. Noticing your exhausted state, Noelle gave your some water to hydrate yourself.

,, So... This is training... " You mustered your strength to speak as Noelle gave you a worrying look.

,, If your tired, we can take a small break-"Noelle tried to suggest something but you immediately honked at her.

,, nononono! It's fine Noelle! " You reassured that you can continue with the training.

,, If you say so... Then let's start with 100 push ups, " Noelle said as she got into position to do push-ups.

What have i done- you mentally cried as you and Noelle proceed to do push-ups.

After two hours of various exercises, Noelle dragged you to Good Hunter as you threw yourself on the wooden chair. You felt your back and arms aching in every inch. I guess you have not been doing strenuous activities for the past few days.

As you groaned in pain, a yummy fragrance hit your tiny nose. You shot up to see Noelle holding two places with stacks of pancakes. You felt you mouth watering as Noelle laughed at your hungry nature.

,, You did well for your first training, i'm impressed, " Noelle exclaimed as she watched you eating the pancakes she made.

,, Hey Noelle... "

,, After we eat... What are we going to do next? " You asked as you poured more maple syrup on your pancakes.

,, good question... I was thinking about teaching you some favonius bladework i learnt, " Noelle said as took a bite of her pancakes.

Favonius bladework, huh...

After eating your breakfast, You and Noelle headed to the Training grounds where Ellin was practicing. The girl noticed the familiar Maid and greeted her. Noelle waved back and introduced you to Her.

,, So your here to train too? I guess that means we'll be training buddies! "Ellin shook your hand as you let out a smile smile.

,, I'll prepare the training dummies for you, (Y/n)! " The trainee exclaimed as she scurried to get some training dummies.

Meanwhile, Noelle showed you a few weapons you might be interested in. Firstly, You tried out the claymore which was Noelle's personal Favorite. At first, Noelle doubt that you would be able to carry it. But, you managed to lift it up the ground. However when about to slash, you immediately fell due to the balance.

Secondly, you tried out the polearm. You managed well with the polearm however you wanted to try out more types of weapons. Then, Ellin decided to give you her sword she used to practice. It was similar to the claymore for the blade but it weighs the same as a polearm. Besides feeling heavy whenever to raise it up to your head.

,, i guess i should've gone with the classic, " Noelle rubbed her cheek as Ellin giggled next to her.

After picking a suitable weapon, Noelle fixed your fighting stance and Ellin gave you a few tips for wielding the sword. It took a while to get use to the hand positioning and position you were in. But, you soon felt comfortable with it after destroying a few of the training dummies.

,, Now, i want you to try destroying the training dummies in one hit! " Ellin challenged you as Noelle shook her head at the trainee.

,, W... Wait Ellin! I don't think it's possible for them, " Noelle stated.

,, we'll wait and see! " Ellin assured the maid as they watched you preparing yourself.

You took in a deep breath, tightening you grip before running towards the group of training dummies and slashing them diagonally as you jumped to the other side

[At the beginning]

As you stopped at the other side of the group of training dummies, the training dummies all collapsed to the stone flooring. You brushed the dirty off your pants and rushed towards the trainee and the Maid.

Ellin and Noelle watched you with their jaws almost dropping to the ground.

,, Noelle! How did i- Uh... Is everything alright? " You asked as you felt uneased with their reactions.

,, that was... AWESOME! How did you do that?! " Ellin exclaimed as she rushed towards you with stars in her eyes.

You waved your hands at her, telling her that it was nothing out of the ordinary. Noelle broke her facial reaction as she gazed at your flustered figure. They're stronger than they look... Noelle heaved a sigh of relief and smiled at you.

,, I should be heading to the library to study, See you guys tomorrow! " You waved at the maid and trainee as you quickly scurried to the library, not wanting to be late for her lessons.

,, You no longer need to attend my lessons, sweetie, "
