The beautiful young lady in uniform with long flowing hair is Biscuit's Nen Beast, known as Cookie. Cookie could transform Aura into a special lotion that, when applied to the skin, could rejuvenate youth and enhance beauty.
This lotion, which is a product of Biscuit's Transmutation-Type Ability, was a non-combat application of Nen.
Beyond the lotion's miraculous properties, Cookie was also proficient in various professional massage techniques that could bring one's body and mind into a state of bliss.
Additionally, she possessed an ability called Piano Massage, which could eliminate fatigue.
With such versatile abilities, Cookie was truly the supreme master of relaxation and recovery!
To Biscuit, this was the most convenient and practical ability in the world.
In essence, whether a Nen Ability is useful or not depends entirely on the user's needs.
Under Biscuit's instruction, Cookie showed no hesitation despite the hardened layers of mud covering Law's entire body. Her smooth, jade-like hands moved with precision, efficiently giving Law a full-body massage.
Then, Cookie raised her hands, and her Aura turned into sparkling peach powder that fell upon Law like cherry blossoms drifting in the wind, quietly merging into his body.
This is the Piano Massage, which can make thirty minutes of rest to equate to eight hours of recovery, while the massage can relieve the aches and pains in various parts of Law's body.
The combination of both techniques ensured that when Law woke up, he would be in peak condition, ready for the next day of training.
Without Cookie, it would have taken Law at least a week to fully recover. But thanks to her, one good night's sleep was all he needed to recover to his peak.
Biscuit set such a high starting threshold for Law's training precisely because she had this advantage in her arsenal.
Exercising the body and tempering the will are things that need to be done simultaneously.
Once her task was completed, Cookie dissolved back into Biscuit's Aura. As Law enjoyed the massage in an unconscious state, his tense face relaxed quietly.
After witnessing Cookie's abilities firsthand, Sanbica looked at Biscuit with strange eyes.
Noticing Sanbica's gaze, Biscuit's eyes gleamed mischievously as she sized Sanbica's body. Then, wiggling her fingers, she asked, "Do you want a massage, too?"
Sanbica quickly shook her head and took several steps back.
Seeing Sanbica's reaction, Biscuit sighed in disappointment: "For women, this is the best ability in the world."
"…" Sanbica.
…
Early the next morning.
Law opened his eyes, and what came into view were branches and leaves bathed in the morning light.
'My body feels so light… Could it be that the training had already shown result after just one day? When I fell asleep last night, my body was clearly very sore, but now...'
Law thought to himself. After feeling that one day's exercise had produced excellent results, he suddenly become full of motivation.
Sitting up abruptly, he quickly realized the reason behind his newfound lightness, as his weighted gear had been removed and placed beside him.
"Put on the weights and come over." At this time, Biscuit's words called out.
Law looked in the direction of the sound and saw Biscuit roasting a whole pig early in the morning. Upon closer sniff, he could smell a faint but harmless burnt smell.
He quickly put on his weights, walked to Biscuit, and looked at the roasted whole pig on the campfire. Its large, rhino-like snout stood out prominently, and though it was nearly done, a few spots were slightly charred.
This is the Great Stamp from Visca Forest Preserve, a D-level ingredient. When cooked properly, it required no seasoning to become a delicious dish.
As the aroma of roasting meat filled the air, Law's stomach suddenly rumbled loudly.
Biscuit glanced at him and said, "Rest for ten minutes after eating, and then start training immediately."
"Got it."
Law nodded. Being very hungry, he quickly ate most of the Great Stamp, and the meat was quickly digested as it entered his stomach.
Biscuit and Sanbica had already had breakfast, and this Great Stamp was prepared specifically for Law.
To make the most of their time, Biscuit took on the responsibility of food preparation, ensuring that Law could eat the moment he woke up and resume training without delay.
'Although there are some flaws, the heat is controlled very well.'
After tasting the roast boar, Law was somewhat surprised by Biscuit's roasting skills. But after thinking about it carefully, he found it unsurprising.
Hunters often traveled to desolate, dangerous locations, so preparing daily meals by hunting and roasting their food was a necessity. Developing such skills was only natural.
'This is a D-level ingredient, but my stats haven't increased at all.'
While eating the roast boar, Law discovered this problem, but he did not have the extra time to dwell on it. After eating the whole roast boar, he rested for ten minutes and then continued to train.
Today's training regimen was identical to yesterday's. Walk from the grove to where they came from, then rest there for an hour, and then walk back to this grove.
Carrying the weights, Law stepped into the muddy terrain, finding it just as challenging as before. It was clear that significant results would take time.
This time, Biscuit and Sanbica didn't follow alongside him, as the distance between the two places was only 15 kilometers.
While Law was training, Sanbica was not idle either. She ventured into the Misly Wetlands and captured a few creatures, bringing them back to the grove for research.
She placed creatures such as toads and giant insects on the stone, and then began to analyze them using her Nen Ability, trying to find out whether the creatures were carrying viruses or bacteria.
Sanbica's Nen Ability is mainly based on viruses, but once she understood bacteria thoroughly, she could leverage her virus-based Nen to create specialized bacteriophages to eliminate them and achieve healing effects.
Meanwhile, Biscuit perched on a tree, observing Law's staggering steps.
"It takes him nearly eight hours to cover 15 kilometers. He needs to reduce it to one hour within a month, and after that, I'll increase the weight to 300 kilograms." Biscuit rubbed her chin, contemplating when to introduce new training routines.
She suddenly lowered her head, looked at Sanbica, who was analyzing the strange creatures, and said, "Your body is even weaker than Law's. You should consider strengthening it."
Sanbica withdrew her Aura from the vibrant green toad and replied softly, "My body is… a little special. I can't enhance it through training."
When she said this, she inexplicably thought of her father and the research institute where he worked.
Biscuit was taken aback by Sanbica's words. The human body typically responded to training, uncovering potential and building strength step by step toward its peak.
'Because her body is special, she can't improve her physical fitness through exercise?'
Biscuit thought about it for a moment, but decided not to explore Sanbica's secret, so she didn't ask any further questions.
…
As the sun set and night fell, Law finally returned to the grove at 10 PM, where Biscuit had prepared another roasted Great Stamp for him.
After eating, Law completed another 500 push-ups. However, he didn't collapse from exhaustion this time, marking a small yet significant improvement.
This rigorous training regimen would continue for a month, or perhaps even longer.
