"Yeah, I guess I can train a bit if I have this much time."
The morning exercises are my daily routine, so I'll go and stretch my body a bit.
The empty dojo is quiet enough to brace myself.
In the morning, when the sun has just risen, the silence has a holy feel to it that fascinates those who come here.
"...Well."
There's only one thing to do now that I'm here.
Since Kiritsugu died, this place has become a gym to train my body.
Even a magus cannot neglect to train their body.
One of the requirements for a magus is to have excellent physical abilities.
While Kiritsugu was alive, we had many matches here.
Well, it was pretty much him beating on me, so I didn't learn anything about how to win in a fight.
...But I think I learned the difference between a fight and a battle.
In other words, I was taught the difference between killing your opponent and beating your opponent.
Knowledge and experience are different.
Unless I know in advance, it's hard to tell whether I'm involved in a fight or a murder.
...It's a simple story.
As long as you learn magic, you might destroy yourself, and times will come when you have to fight.
For a magi, a fight means killing each other.
So I think what Kiritsugu wanted to teach me was to prepare my mind for the prospect of death.
But it's been a while since my teacher passed away.
On my own, all I can do are simple exercises that anyone could do.
"Well then, let's do this properly."
After warming up by stretching, I start my exercises, keeping my attention inside my body.
I comprehend the flow of the Magic Circuit, the friction in my bones, the distortion in my thinking during fatigue, all while I'm training.
"120... 150... 170..."
Even a simple push-up can be training for the Magic Circuit if I put on mental shackles instead of metal weights.
As I don't have a teacher, exercise like that of club's morning practice is an important part of training.
