"I am home!"
Jock shouted after stepping through the front door, and while he was taking his shoes off, his mother came to check on him.
"A longer training session today?"
She asked.
It was already an hour later than when Jock usually came back home.
"No. It ended at the same time as before, but we were pretty hungry, so I ate with Cleo before heading back home."
Jock said.
"Oh…"
His mother's lips turned into a sly smile, and she teasingly asked.
"You mean it was a date?"
"N-No?"
Jock said with exaggerated hand motion, but as soon as he moved his arms, they ached with soreness.
Even though he took some of the elixir after the training was over, he was still drained, especially mentally.
It was extremely hard training today. More than before. It was clear that Kiernan wanted them to learn rock-solid defense before the tournament.
"Hmm~"
