The adventurer immediately collapsed weakly.
"… Yeah, unless you first improve your body and posture."
"O-oh… I see."
Rhaozhekar then explained the type of training required and the lifestyle adjustments he recommended.
"That's truly helpful advice. So, when should I start this program, Master?"
'He's already calling me Master, huh.'
His younger self might have felt proud, but being addressed that way by someone possibly only four or five years younger than him was a little unsettling.
"Whenever you want."
And with that, the adventurer decided to train under him for about a month.
As a student, he formally introduced himself again—Khaezrin, son of Khaz, and his age…
"You're still 25?"
"Technically, 24 years and 10 months. I'll be 25 in two months."
He seemed to notice Rhaozhekar's surprised expression.
"Uh… is something wrong?"
"Eh… well, you look much older than your actual age."
