Chapter 22 - Chapter 22 : Collective Evolution

A month had passed since Dan took the girls as his wives. During this month, his life improved greatly. He felt lightened, as his body's physiological needs were satisfied through woman . He didn't realize the impact of this side of life until he tried it. Living alone for years, completely isolated, had taken a toll on his mood and psyche. But now, he feels more balanced and at ease.

Also, the girls became more stable and comfortable. They were pleased with Dan and his good treatment of them. He wasn't harsh or bossy; instead, he treated them with respect, provided everything they needed as much as possible, and didn't ask for more than they could handle. Their hearts were reassured about their future. They were no longer worried about being kicked out or abandoned. They were his wives now, under his protection, and their future was guaranteed.

The only thing that didn't change was that Dan remained a man of few words. He spoke only when necessary, giving simple instructions, then returning to his silence and training. But the girls grew accustomed to that. They understood that this was his nature and didn't try to change it.

To improve security, Dan built a large fence around his home and training area. It was a fence of massive trunks, about four meters high, strong and sturdy. He used his threads to cut giant trees, prepare them, plant them deep in the ground, and bind them tightly. It took two full days, but the result was excellent. The fence isolates their area from the forest, providing extra protection from predators or any intruder. Dan didn't want any animal or beast to storm his camp, which might lead to injuring his women or something like that. He is keen on their safety.

Also, Dan created a new large barn. It was much bigger than the sheep pen, designed for larger animals. Then he went out and caught the herd of wild cows he had noticed before. He used his Web to locate them, then used the Control Seal to subdue them one by one. The process was easy for him. In the end, he managed to catch ten heads of cows, including some females for milk.

This increased the girls' tasks. They now had to cut larger amounts of grass to feed the cows, in addition to the sheep and chickens. But because there were twelve girls, the process didn't take long. They worked together, dividing into groups, cutting grass quickly and efficiently. Usually, they finished all their daily work in the morning.

So, for most of the day, the girls sit and talk with each other. They exchange stories, laugh, plan meals, and talk about their new lives. Or they watch Dan as he trains. This is their favorite activity. They sit on the edge of the hole, or on a nearby rock, and watch with admiration as he practices his insane training. He dives into the dark depths for a long time, then after finishing, he trains on the surface with power and momentum that makes the air around him very heavy. It was a sight they never got tired of.

One day, after Dan finished his deep training, he came out of the water and headed toward the house. The girls were sitting outside, talking quietly. Dan stopped before them and looked at them with his calm blue eyes. Then he asked in his deep, cold voice, "What do you think about practicing training?"

The girls went silent for a moment, surprised. Then, most of them responded with immediate excitement. "Yes, sir!" "We want to train!" "Please teach us!" Their eyes were shining with enthusiasm. They watched Dan's power every day and wished they could possess even a small part of this strength. Dan nodded his head. He had thought about this for a while. Their training would make them stronger, more capable of protecting themselves, and more useful in the future. Also, if they became stronger, his worry for them would be less. So, he set a training plan for them.

The next day, Dan gathered the girls early in the morning. They stood before him in a row, excited but a little nervous. Dan said in his calm voice, "Training will start with physical exercises. This stage will continue until you reach a decent level of physical fitness. After that, I will teach you chakra refining."

The plan was clear and logical. The start must be by building the body. Without a strong body, they wouldn't be able to refine chakra effectively, and they wouldn't endure the harder training. Dan had set a physical training program suitable for women. It wouldn't be as harsh as his own training, but it would be effective.

The training began with: "First, stretching exercises. Follow me." Dan started with simple stretching exercises, and the girls imitated him. It was a bit strange for him to lead stretching for a group of women, but he didn't care. He was only focused on making them train correctly. After stretching, they moved to actual exercises. "Push-ups. Twenty repetitions. Begin."

The girls lay on the ground and started trying push-ups. Most were weak and hadn't practiced physical exercise before. Some couldn't even complete five repetitions. But Dan wasn't harsh. "Do what you can. With time, you will improve." Then squats, then sit-ups, then running around the area. It was a simple but comprehensive routine, targeting all body muscles.

By the end of the first training session, the girls were completely exhausted. Gasping, sweating profusely, some could barely stand. But despite the fatigue, they were happy. They felt they had achieved something important, as they had caught Dan's attention a little. Dan said while looking at them, "You will train every morning. The same routine. With time, I will increase the difficulty. Now, rest. Eat well. Take care of your bodies."

The girls nodded enthusiastically despite the exhaustion. "Yes, sir!" In the following days, training continued. Every morning, the girls wake up at dawn and start the exercises. At first, the pain was intense; their muscles that hadn't been used before hurt them badly. But as days passed, they began to get used to it. They became stronger, faster, and more resilient.

Dan watches them quietly, correcting their positions and sometimes encouraging them with a word or two. Rin was the most serious in training. she pushes herself hard, always trying to be the best and achieve more than the rest. Dan noticed that she has a strong will and real determination. Perhaps, with time and proper training, she will become truly strong.

At the end of the first week, the results were already clear. The girls got used more to the training and became more fit and vital. Their bodies began to change, becoming more graceful and healthy. They were happy with the progress, even if it was still small and not yet noticeable. Dan looked at them as they trained and felt a slight satisfaction. This was a good decision. Their training would make them stronger and make his life easier too. Perhaps, in the future, they would be able to help him in other ways. But for now, this is a first step—a step toward a better future for them all.
