Practical Skills for Hunters [Part 2]
♠♠♠
After every student taking Practical Skills for Hunters finished changing clothes, they moved to the dedicated sports ground and began the lesson.
“Practical Skills for Hunters (Beginner) will mostly focus on building stamina. We will do long training runs today.”
The teacher dropped an instruction for the students to follow him before he started running.
“P-Professor! How many laps exactly are we going to run?”
One of the students asked, already out of breath.
“Two hours.”
“ “ “ “ “ “Eh?” ” ” ” ” ”
“I have never counted how many laps that is. We will keep running for two hours for today’s class.”
“ “ “ “ “ “Huh?” ” ” ” ” ”
“Keep yourself hydrated at your own timing. There is a water station in the middle of the sports ground. When you want to drink, run to that point and return quickly after rehydrating.”
“ “ “ “ “ “Eek?!” ” ” ” ” ”
“Your breathing will become irregular if you talk too much, got that? Keep a constant pace. Because once you get the hang of it, you will be able to run for two hours steadily in no time, okay?”
Right after enrollment, the first Practical Skills for Hunters class was the lap-running of hell.
For these students who had been spoiled since the moment they were born as a son of a noble family, for the first time in their life they experienced the harshness of the world.
“*pant pant* ...So hard! There’s no way I can run for 2 hours...”
“*pant pant* ...I have underestimated the lesson a little...”
William and Joshua couldn’t hide their surprise at this unexpected lesson.
It’s just that he was awfully terrible at studying.
William sighed at his older brother’s disappointing point.
Being born under an unlucky star with disappointments following them everywhere was the trait of the Tanaka family. Being one of the Tanakas, William was also a pretty disappointing lad. Though it seemed like everyone was blind to their own shortcomings.

“ “So tireddd...” ”
William and Joshua slumped on their desks.
“I didn’t expect he would really make us run for two hours...”
After his breath was finally back to normal, William looked around the classroom and whispered weakly. Many students were even more exhausted than he and Joshua inside the classroom he surveyed.
“It’s the first time I’ve run this much...”
Joshua had also trained his body a little since a year ago, but he couldn’t hide his tiredness.
“No, no, no. You guys... It was almost the same pace as walking from halfway through the run, you know?”
George alone looked nonchalant as he replied.
The Practical Skills for Hunters (Beginner) class ended with just them running around the academy’s sports ground for two whole hours.
The one who ran at the same pace as the teacher until the end was only George.
For things that only needed physical strength and not using brains, of course it would be George’s sole win.
The noble sons, who at first took George lightly because he was a rural aristocrat from a borderland, were now looking at him with eyes full of respect.
“...Nii-sama, do you still remember? Our goal in the Royal Capital.”
“Hm? At any rate, don’t stand out, right? ......Ah.”
Accomplishing their goal in the Royal Capital was more difficult than expected.
