Chapter 10: Back to work

Luna was stunned and confused by the way Ken was reacting. She could tell that he was listening to every word that she said, but yet he didn’t react like how anyone else would. He didn’t judge her choices or the choices of her people.

She quietly walked to the rock and sat with her back leaned against it, her knees close to her chest and her hands wrapped around her knees. She looked around for a few seconds and then finally asked something she had wanted to.

"So what are you doing out here?"

"Training," he replied without much thought.

"Training?" she asked again to be sure she heard him right.

"Yup, training," he responded like that explained everything, but her gaze still fixed on him in a way that said she wanted an explanation, so he gave it.

"My body is extraordinarily weak, and I despise weakness, so I have decided to fix that and ensure that I get stronger." He gave the easiest reply that she could think of.

She tilted her head to the side slowly, having a confused gaze on her face. "You have a pretty strong body from what I can see, my eyes don’t lie so I know for sure." After she said that, she got on her feet. She walked to him, her hands wrapped around his biceps.

Ken was stunned for a moment, but he let whatever was happening happen. Her gaze fixated on his arms for a long second, then she seemed to snap out of the trance. She immediately let go in a hurry and stepped back.

"I’m sorry, I got carried away, elves mostly like magic and internal strength. They love to keep their bodies as slim and fine-tuned as possible. They do have pretty decent muscles, but it has to be a certain way," Luna explained. She looked away in embarrassment.

"I personally like a more toned and worked-out body, maybe it was because of my father. He was an exception amongst us and he was extremely strong."

’Hmmm, pretty weird that she would get a fetish because of her father, but I’m guessing she was young and was just impressed by his muscles and so that grew with her.’

"Thank you," Ken replied with a bright smile on his face. "Seems my work is paying off."

A single day of exercise had activated this body and it had already grown so much. Ken had realized this long in the afternoon. This body was built to be strong but made very weak, if only the first user had decided to go against the system and work out, he would have reached unimaginable peaks.

’Thank you for the awesome body, I’ll make sure I use it well,’ Ken said in his mind and then turned his focus back to Luna.

"I’ll probably be in this forest a while, training until I feel I have reached the right levels of strength, so you can come and watch whenever you want."

"Really?" Her eyes lit up, the type of glow that you had when you finally found something so special and worth your time. It was as though she had nothing fun to do all this time and now she had finally found a place to come stay and have fun.

"Yes, really," Ken replied.

He continued roasting the meat and then when it was all done, he used the same horn to forcefully cut into it, taking a piece and handing it to her.

"Do elves even eat meat?" he asked.

"Of course, though it’s very refined to remove fat and anything harmful to our bodies."

"Damn, you lot are a very crazy bunch," he said outright.

She giggled and took it from him, her mouth literally watering as the smell reached her nose. There was no seasoning, but Ken believed it should still taste good. He waited for her to take the first bite. Her teeth sunk into it and her expression changed from eager to utterly blown away, and in the next second she started stuffing the whole thing down.

Feeling proud of himself, he took a piece he was sure would fill his stomach. By the time he was halfway through, she was done and looking at him with eager eyes for more.

"You can eat as much as you want," Ken said, but that statement was his downfall as she ripped out the whole leg, and by the time that he was finally done with his, she was done with the leg already and then she proceeded to get another and eat that as well. That was when she finally stopped.

Ken had a feeling that she stopped not because she was filled up, but she wanted to not look crazy, which if that was the case she already failed. But he had no issues with that whatsoever.

He placed the rest over the flames and scattered the flames a bit, allowing the heat dry the meat. He would use the rest for days where he could not hunt.

"That was great," Luna said. She stood beside him as he worked, her hands at the back this time and not the front, it told Ken that she was more comfortable with him now.

He was about to say something, when Luna suddenly paused. She looked in a certain direction with urgency.

"They are looking for me, I have to go, I’ll be back I promise," she said and then immediately ran, but when she got to the rock, she stopped and waved at Ken with a smile on her face. Ken had no choice but to wave back.

He watched her leave until her figure vanished from sight.

"Alright, time to get back to work."
