Workout

Field Marshall Chan grinned widely as he watched Keira's physical training with her friends in the training grounds within their home.

He loved and admired the fighting spirit of his daughter. Too bad, she was born a girl…

He initially wanted a boy, someone, to inherit Chan's legacy and military power.

However, he was granted with a girl…

He and his wife tried so hard to make more babies, in the hope for a boy but failed. They gave up after two miscarriages because the doctor advised that it was no longer safe for Ester. Another pregnancy might have compromised Ester's life.

He knew, he spoiled his daughter a lot, but what could he do, she's the only treasure he and his wife had. As long as they could, they would give her all that they could afford.

He was startled when his wife poked his side.

"Look at that grin on your face. Are you happy, watching your daughter doing things like that? I still can't understand you two…" Mrs. Chan said as she watched Keira too.

Then, she sighed and continued, "She is so focused on getting admitted to the Military School. I still think it's inappropriate and is not a wise choice. Look at her. She's struggling with simple exercises."

"The camp is the safest place, sweetheart. I'm there, and I will monitor everything that is happening inside… Besides, she will learn a lot in there. I know your worries… and trust me, it will not come to that point. I only want Keira to gain experience. I hope she could learn and value her life more, understanding its importance." Mr. Chan explained as he looked at his daughter lovingly.

Of course, he wouldn't let Keira become a soldier, but being trained as one, was a good thing for her mentally, emotionally, and most of all physically.

"Look at that… so frail…" Mr. Chan chuckled as he watched his daughter, who was having a hard time with physical training.

"Yeah, you're right. Your daughter will fail the physical test… definitely…" Mrs. Chan echoed as she suppressed her laughter, watching how her daughter struggled.

Despite doing various awkward exercise moves, she still moved with poise.

'Poor guy,' she murmured to herself, as she shifted her gaze to the coach, assigned to Keira, who had been scratching his head several times.

...…..

"Drey just lift her up!" Lana shouted as she looked at Keira's painful face, who tried to do the pull-ups. She was having a hard time, raising her body with her arms as she grasped the bar with both palms.

The three of them had done it successfully, they were expected to raise their chins above the bar. However, Keira couldn't raise herself even halfway.

Each of them had a custom workout plan based on their capabilities, the same applied to nutritional guidance and support, based on their body types.

Toink!

Blag!

Keira slumped on the ground. "Ouch," she muttered while she massaged her hips.

"No, don't help me. I'm fine," she said and quickly got up to her feet.

"If they can do it… I can… without hesitation… do this too," Keira murmured with pouted lips.

'Why the heck does it look easier on television!' she complained silently.

She grabbed the bar and tried to pull herself up, but ended up just hanging on the bar.

She saw Drey walk towards her to give her support, so she shouted, "No, Drey! Don't you dare! I can do it… Don't mind me and do what the coach has instructed you to do."

She looked at her coach and winked. "Coach, we still have many days left, so stop scratching that head," she said smiling as she tried to pull herself up.

No matter what happened she must try her best and do things right.

"Alright Keira, you have to do at least one to get better… relax your grip. Decrease the bodyweight..." her coach instructed.

She actually looked funny right now and she could see how amused her dad was, as he watched her.

"Hmp!" she muttered. She wouldn't give up, even if her physical body was giving her a hard time. She had a goal and she would reach that goal by all means.

She still had a lot of days to get physically fit... she was just starting…

"I can do this." She murmured as she tried to pull her body, so her chin could reach the bar.

"That confidence is really killing me!" Lana whispered as she watched Keira.

"Well, we all love that confidence in her. To be honest, I feel like I can also do anything, no matter how hard it is, whenever I'm with Keira," May commented.

Drey put his arms on the girls' shoulders and said, "That's so true sisters… Now let's go back to our own exercises and let Keira concentrate there…"
