Chapter Text
"Aikido Cale-nim?"
Cale sigh.
"Choi Han, do you think I'm stupid?"
Choi Han shakes his head no so hardly that some of his sweat fly off of his face. He just finished his own training regime and was just about to take a cold bath and call it a day.
He's already a bit sleepy, but this...
Cale's question completely chased away his drowsiness.
"Choi Han."
The tone is a bit condensending. It's as if Cale already knows everything that Choi Han is trying to hide, it's as if Cale already caught on their plan.
Choi Han is not that surprised.
It's his Cale-nim after all.
They really can't hide anything that would remain a secret for a whole month.
The only question that matters is...
"Since when?"
Cale quirked a brow.
Choi Han flinched as he tries to make himself smaller.
"When I saw Lock wheel in some barbell."
'THAT'S THREE WEEKS AGO!!!!!!!!!!'
It means that Cale already knows what's there up to in less than a week. It means that Cale have already figured them out and is just pretending to be clueless.
Cale surveys Choi Han.
Choi Han squirms.
"I know that you and the children are working with Hyung-nim. I know that you all are thinking of a way for me to exercise. There's really is no reason for Lock to wheel in some barbell that is all less than 5 kilogram when every single one of you uses no less than 10 kilogram for your training."
Choi Han flinched yet again.
"I know that you and your little partner in crimes have already conversed with Beacrox for a change of meal so when you actually manage to convince me, he'll be able to prepare for a balanced meal that will match my endeavors. I know that you all have already manage to rope in everyone, from Father to Dad to Miss Solena."
Choi Han then sheepishly scratch his neck.
"I am aware that Hyung-nim have spoken with Ron about the possibility of me learning some Dagger arts from him. I'm also already aware about the fact that you have written down different kinds of martial arts that you want me to relearn using Choi Jung Soo's memory."
Ahhh that.
Choi Han doesn't know how his Cale-nim find that out.
"So shameless Choi Han."
Choi Han can't help the awkward laugh from getting out but he's actually pretty excited now.
He's excited and giddy with the implication of Cale-nim's first word to him minutes ago.
Aikido.
Choi Han knows Aikido.
He can teach his liege Aikido and he's liege is even willing to learn it.
Kim Rok Soo knows the basics of a bunch of different martial arts and that is why he's often times in the front line despite only having an ability that can record things and an ability that can put him on death's door due to its recoil.
But that's Kim Rok Soo.
Kim Rok Soo's body is different from Cale Henituse's body.
Cale Henituse's physical health is downright horrendous.
Choi Han can't help himself but feel excited at the prospect of being his Cale-nim's trainer. He can't help the bubbly feeling of child-like euphoria that is boiling in his guts.
"Go easy on me, Instructor-nim"
Cale then patted Choi Han's shoulder before taking his leave.
After watching his Cale-nim disappear out of his view, Choi Han let out the kettle like sound escape from his throat.
Cale, who's just around the corner is quite surprised that Choi Han can create such noise. He clicked his tongue as he ascends the stairs.
Cale Henituse released a smirk as he then let his consciousness fade in the safety of his bed.
'Choi Han will be too excited to sleep...'
Cale is being petty, so what?
Exercising is difficult and is not a part of his slacker life dream, but he knows his family.
They're all stubborn. In fact, it's actually easier to pry open a baby's fist than to convince them that he does not need to exercise.
Cale can already feel his body aching.
His Ancient Powers are all having a party and Cale is infuriated with the Crybaby. He's just way too loud, shouting about this and that. He's actually the loudest out of all of them.
Cale wish that tomorrow would never come.
Choi Han is practically shaking at this point.
He's so full of energy that he didn't even feel the need to squabble with the chef when the chef cussed at him. He's too happy that he just ignored the older assasin that wants to cut his neck for being too loud when he would normally clash blade at him by that point.
Choi Han shares with them the incredible news about their favorite human finally walking the path towards a healthy lifestyle.
Ron Molan ho'd while his son, Beacrox Molan, blink in surprise.
The three then talked about the changes they need to do, the arrangement that needs their attention, the essentials and the food and this and that.
Eruhaben-nim then opens the door of the kitchen, just wanting to grab a cup of water. Choi Han once again, tattles about what happened in the corridor near their training room.
Eruhaben-nim is surprised just as much as the Molan duo after hearing it.
Eruhaben-nim then calls the young quarter dark elf, the head of their 'Make Cale Henituse Move' group and personally relay the surprising news.
"My Dongsaeng said what?"
"I'm surprised too"
They then talks more until Rosalyn enter, just wanting to get a cup of water but upon seeing the group of people in the room that is buzzing with energy, she stopped and survey them all.
Choi Han once again relayed the news, still excited at the idea.
Rosalyn then squeals in delight.
They then talked more.
They called Rasheel-nim, Mila-nim and Dodori-nim, who then all teleported to the kitchen.
Lock and the 10 wolfings that is trailing behind him entered the kitchen, they just want a cup of milk.
It's Dodori-nim's turn to make the children aware about the miracle that just happened.
Hans, who's walking side by side with Hilsman, heard the news and then relayed it to everyone who have ears.
Gashan is already thanking the nature.
The Henituse family heard the news and then busied themselves on creating colorful posters to show their support.
The Henituses' family's maids, servant, knights and soldiers heard it and then tells the story to those who would actually listen.
The News then traveled.
Before the day officially ends, the news have already reached the inhabitants of the sea. It also already reached the Jungle and all the kingdom that is associated with the Red-headed hero.
The news about the Hero of the two continent showing the initiative to become stronger just so he could better protect his people and his kingdom shakes the heart of knights and soldiers as well as the civilians.
This lit everyone's desire to be stronger as well. Every one who have heard about the news then lifts their weapon of choice with the promise to themselves that they will follow the Hero in this path.
They're in this together.
One for all and all for one.
Hoora!!!!!
Everyone doesn't sleep well that night due to their excitement.
