After walking for a while Nero and Aurathia arrived at the location that Nero wanted her to see
"So, what do you think" Nero said allowing Aurathia to look around
"So, the place you wanted to show me was on top of the city walls" Aurathia commented
"Yeah, it's got lots of space for you to run, people don't come up here so you don't need to be careful of other people and there's even enough space for us to spar up here if you wanted to" Nero stated, remembering how Ais had trained Bell up here in the anime
"This place is perfect, thank you Nero" Aurathia exclaimed, pulling Nero into a strong hug
"You're welcome Aura, but could you tone back the hugging a bit, I feel like my bones are breaking" Nero gasped, stuck between the feeling of being crushed by her muscles and her pressing her impressive chest against him
"Sorry, I forget my strength when I'm happy" Aurathia grinned releasing him "now let's see how long a run this is come on" running off as her words leave her mouth
"Hey wait for me" Nero chuckled before taking after her, confident that he would be able to keep up with her thanks to his falna
An hour later they both arrived back at the point that they had started at after having run the entire way round the whole city
"Whew, that was a good distance, I've been able to work up a decent sweat" Aurathia announced
"How the hell are you both faster than me and have more stamina" panted Nero as he stumbled to the wall to help surpport his aching legs "I have a falna"
"Falna means nothing against divine muscles trained over a millenium" Aurathia laughed as she flexed her bicep, the sweat causing it to glisten in the lowering sun "if you were to measure me by your standards I'd probably have the stats of a top tier level 2 adventurer or even a level 3"
"I hate that I can't deny that" Nero complained as he took deep breaths
"Need me to carry you home" Aurathia teased "I'll allow it for the fact that you managed to just about keep up with me"
"I can make it home at least" Nero retorted as he started making unstable steps towards the stairs
"That's the spirit" she smiled before going over to Nero and lending him her shoulder "but there's nothing wrong with accepting a little bit of help"
"Thanks Aura" Nero grinned, letting her take some of his weight as they made their way home
Arriving back home Nero found that his dad had woken up at some point, decided that he couldn't be bothered to open the diner today and gone out drinking instead
"Damn old man, I'm looking forward to the day I can leave this craphole" Nero complained as he scrunched to note into a ball and threw it into the bin
"He's worse than Hestia and Loki, at least they both tried my exercises.... once, and they at least stay healthy enough to wake up every morning at a decent time" sighed Aurathia "now, yesterday it was to late to do them but you're joining me for night time stretches, they help limber up the body and will make it so that you can have a better nights sleep, something that will be good for you who is sleeping on the couch"
"Sure, my muscles need losening up after that run and all the time I spent in the dungeon this morning" Nero said as he bent his back
"In that case follow my lead" Aurathia smiled as she slowly maneuvered into yoga poses, holding them for a few seconds before changing into another pose, keeping an eye on Nero ready to alter his body to make sure he wouldn't injure himself
"So do you know how to do all of these exercises due to some kind of divine power or was it alot of trail and error" Nero asked as they held each position
"A bit of both, I always knew loads of exercises from the moment I existed but as I trained more and more doing the same exercises day after day I began to become bored of them even as the goddess of training and nobody wanted to join in my sessions anymore so I worked with other gods and goddesses of things like knowledge or martial arts to come up with even better exercises that allowed people to enjoy exercising again, it's actually how I met Take" Aurathia answered as she bent backwards so far that her head touched the floor, emphasising her abs
"It's impressive how flexible you are even with muscles like that" Nero gasped in shock, not being able to bend even half as far as she had
"Tense muscles or useless, flexible ones that can adapt and most importantly not get injured as easily are better" she smirked as she brought her head back up before turning around and bending over forwards and looking at Nero through her legs grinning "it also let's me keep an eye on my students better by being able to watch them from positions they don't expect me to be able to" she snickered
"Hestia and Loki?" Nero questioned
"Hestia and Loki" she replied with a upside down smile before coming back up "that should be enough for tonight, these are stretches to relax not to try and get more flexible, I'll teach you how to do those at another more appropriate time, goodnight Nero" she said as she made her way into her room
"Night Aura" Nero replied as he got comfortable on the sofa and prepared himself to start his next set of training.
