A New Kind of Training

As the days wore on, Will began to realize the that Gruter wasn't an ordinary restaurant owner. He had started off the first day feeling as though the stone weighed as much as the mountain itself. The next day felt no different, yet when the old man went home, Will tried lifting the stone once more and found it to be significantly easier. He concluded that Gruter had been using his own earth aura to press down on all three stones at once, making it harder to lift. He had drawn some comparisons between the old man and Michael, both were sadists when it came to training.
