Once they got home, Landon told his mom and Lucy all that happened.

They warmly welcomed Momo and Grace into their family.

Little Momo and Grace were given rooms close to each other.

They were also close to Lucy and Kim's rooms.

Landon gave the job of training Momo as a Knight Page to Josh.

Momo was eight now, so it was the perfect time to train him. (Although seven years old was the appropriate age in the continent.)

He sat on his bed and tried to go to sleep.

Tomorrow was a busy day for him.

He had to train with the men in the morning and then head out to the farms to solve the barren land situation.

As he laid on his bed, his eyes became heavy with fatigue, and his mind drifted to sleep.

-THE NEXT DAY-

Landon stood in the center of the inner courtyard facing over 300 men. He was impressed.

If he were back on earth, it would be about 5 A.M now, and yet all the men were up and ready.

None of them came late. Even Momo showed up early.

He knew that for his plan to work, he needed to discipline them well.

He looked at them coldly, giving off an aura of an old war veteran.

"Line up in straight lines of 10!"

He started counting out loud: "1...2...3...4...5...6...7.....52."

They all formed their teams in under 52 seconds and waited for his next command.

"Too slow!

Lines should be formed by the time I count to 5. From today onwards, anyone who isn't fast in lining up will run tens laps around the courtyard before training begins.

Is that understood!!!"

"Yes, your majesty Landon!!!!!"

"During training, I will be your Commander and not your King.

When Answering me, you will all say: Sir, yes Sir. Say it!!!"

"Sir, yes sir," they yelled back.

"There are four Military Disciplines to follow while training.

These rules are to be followed only when you are in training.

First, I am the Law here. Second, obey my orders. Third: Unconditionally obey my orders. Fourth, when I am not around, Obey Commander Lucius' orders !"

The men were taken aback by his opposing aura that sent chills down their spines.

"Is that understood?!!

"Sir, yes sir."

He did warm-up exercises with them for 10 minutes and stopped.

He watched and waited for them to catch their breaths.

After 1 minute, he yelled: "Line up behind your assigned Knight Captains."

They immediately got up and looked for the Captains in a flash.

No one wanted to be punished.

They all lined up behind Josh, Mark and Gary.

Momo lined up behind Josh since he was told that Josh would train him.

Lucius was impressed.

He had always struggled when disciplining young knights.

This was a real eye-opener to him.

"After these exercises, you all should have realized how weak you all are physically.

You all lack stamina and strength."

At this point, they all concluded that their king was a demon trainer.

He had joined them in training earlier, and yet, he stood there looking back at them as if this was a casual walk.

They had to admit; their king was pretty strong.

Actually, when the system cured him previously, it also gave him extra strength when he took the system starter pack.

Staring at their tired faces without any hint of emotions, he continued:

"Captain's Josh, Mark and Gary, Step forward."

They stepped out and looked at Landon.

"You all will lead your teams in becoming stronger. You will face challenges together and ensure that no soldier falls behind.

If anyone in your team fails, it would mean that you also failed.

Do you understand!!"

"Sir, yes sir," answered the three.

They stepped back and stood in front of their respective teams.

"Listen up!! Everybody squat down with your feet in a wide stance, hands clasped behind your back."

Although they were confused, they hurriedly did it. Even Lucius, who was standing by the sides, decided to join in.

He wanted to experience this new exercise.

"Holding this squatting position, jump to move forward.

You are all to do this ten times around the courtyard. Little Momo will be required to do only four rounds."

Hearing this, the soldiers thought that this exercise would be a breeze.

Even little Momo and Lucius doubted the effects of this kind of exercise.

How could Landon not know what they were thinking?

Back on earth, he thought the same thing too the first time he saw how the exercise was done.

Landon walked to the very back of the lines beside Lucius and squatted down.

Then he yelled coldly: "Start!"

Once they started, everyone got excited.

They thought they would finish it fast and be done with it.

But soon, they were breathing heavily and their throats were parched.

Most of them were proud of their strength before, but now they couldn't help but look at their weak bodies. Even Lucius started to feel the burn, but he knew he couldn't stop.

Gary felt like he was about to die.

His heavy arms and tired legs started wobbling.

Momo felt the burn in the legs and thighs.

'Does this mean I'm weak?' he thought.

From the back, seeing people feeling tired, Landon spoke out:

"If you give up so easily, are you real soldiers? Are you real men? Get up!!!! This is an order. My command is the law!"

When they heard him at the back, they all had one thought: 'Demon Trainer.'

As the training progressed, their thighs felt numb. Every time they wanted to quit, they would hear the devil's voice from behind: "Those that give up will face my wrath. But if you want to see it...heheheh..then try me!"

As they looked at little Momo, they were truly envious of the fact that he had finished his rounds.

Trey truly felt like his legs were going to RIP off his circuits.

As he thought of his best friend Landon, he wondered where he had learnt this sort of demonic training from. Trey thought that Landon made the training up on the spot.

No one suspected that Landon was different. He had always been a very peculiar child.

He was always too quiet growing up, a little introverted.

When people would bully or insult him, he would just watch.

He never really cared about how they treated him.

He never cried or showed any form of worry.

So they all thought this was still him.
