HORSE RACING EXERCISES

"What's? You can't ride a horse?" ask Kenta Ken. He exhaled heavily hearing the words from Sagachi just now. "The time' yes, just to leave I have to teach you first."

Sagachi responded to Kenta Ken's words while scratching his non-itchy head. "Hehe, it has to be. This is my real reason for refusing the horse that the king prepared, for I cannot drive the horse."

Kenta Ken patted his own eel slowly, there was a slight annoyance in him. Then the black-robed man said, "Sagachi pSagachi. Yeah, I'll teach you first."

Kenta Ken was forced to teach Sagachi first in riding.

Kenta Ken should start teaching basic horse riding techniques to beginners on Sagachi. He taught Sagachi by directing his horse for a regular walk. Kenta Ken also told Sagachi to keep the stability of the body in the saddle.

"Then, how do you move this horse?" ask Sagachi.

"How gini. You push both feet slightly into the belly of the horse like this," Kenta Ken exemplifies the technique of moving the horse, and the horse then moves forward. "Well like this. Again, make sure the sitting position is firm, comfortable and balanced in the saddle, yes!"

"This balance can be well maintained if you set your own waist. Let the position of the body more balanced and more controlled horse movement, make sure also the footrest is in the position it should be, yes!" kenta Ken explained. "Now, try to practice!"

"All right, I'll try." Sagachi also tried to practice what Kenta Ken had exampleed. Sagachi stomped both legs slightly to the horse's belly while spurring his horse's rope. After doing that, it turned out that his horse started to move forward.

Sagachi smiled and got more excited after he could do it. "Yes, I can already control horses."

"That's just the beginning stage, you still need to practice again for the next stage" Kenta Ken responded.

"Then, what's the second stage?" ask Sagachi.

"If you are stable and can walk normally smoothly in the first stage of riding, then the next basic horseback riding technique is to try to practice regular running. Initially, you have to put your legs together, and your horse will also start running at a normal speed" Kenta Ken explained, sagachi looked to be taking her seriously.

Kenta Ken continued his explanation. "Hands holding the control rope rather short can follow the rhythm of the horse's head while running.

After explaining the second stage, Kenta Ken exemplified it, and like the explanation in the first stage, in this second stage Kenta Ken also had Sagachi practice it again after he exemplified it.

Sagachi was able to practice this second stage of training, making Kenta Ken mutter in his heart, "This child seems to know nothing, but he is easy to understand and quick in training."

It was in the second stage that Sagachi practiced horse racing techniques to keep the horse running normally. Because now Sagachi is already proficient in the first and second stages, Kenta Ken also decided to continue explaining the third stage, which is training to spur horses to run fast.

The technique of spurring the horse to run fast, just like the technique of spurring the horse to run normally. However, at this stage both legs must be tightened on the horse's body.

...SKIP TIME'S...

An hour later. Sagachi has now mastered the science of horse racing. Kenta Ken also did not expect, if teaching Sagachi was not too difficult and also not too long.

Because Sagachi had mastered the science of horse racing, they immediately set out with the aim to go to the Zephyra— Kingdom where the demon king Totemo Hokori was located.

"Ken-san." Sagachi called Kenta Ken's name so that the black-robed man who was focused on spurring his horse stared at him by looking at him.

However, Kenta Ken did not even turn his head towards Sagachi, he only responded to Sagachi by saying, "What's wrong?"

Actually Sagachi was a little annoyed with Kenta Ken's attitude which was sometimes too indifferent to him, but he tried to stay mediocre with it.

"We go to Hikari City first," replied Sagachi explaining what he really meant by calling Kenta Ken by saying his name earlier.

Kenta Ken finally turned to Sagachi, and the black-robed man asked, "To Hikari City?"

"Yes, to Hikari City first. You see, I want to invite my sister to participate in the mission of attacking the demon lord," Sagachi explained what he meant.

"For what? It would only be imagining your sister's life" Kenta Ken asked in astonishment at Sagachi.

Sagachi explained everything to Kenta Ken, about his goal that would bring his sister. He told Kenta Ken that his goal was to take his sister because there was an agreement with him.

The agreement was that Sagachi once told his brother that if he was going to attack the demon lord, Furuko would also help.

Therefore, Sagachi intends to invite his sister, because he wants to keep his promise to Furuko.

Kenta Ken, who understood what Sagachi meant, responded by asking, "Then, what would you do, if your sister was in danger?"

Sagachi replied with an expression on his face that looked very serious. "Then I will be the shield."

Sagachi answered like that, because he had said in the moment before he took a job at the Magic Barracks Academy. At that time Furuko told him to take the Job Knight or Vanguard, but Sagachi instead chose Swordman. But even so, at that time Sagachi also said that he would still be his shield even though he was a Swordman.

Sagachi's intention was to tell his younger brother that he would be his shield, that is, he would always protect his younger brother even though life would be at stake.

"Yes, if that's what you want, fine, we go to Hikari City first to pick up your sister" Kenta Ken said in response to Sagachi's remarks. The black-robed man then refocused himself forward and spurred his horse.

Sagachi also drove his horse and then he followed Kenta Ken.

...---...

Two hours later, now Kenta Ken and Sagachi have arrived in Hikari— City in front of the Vitaloka lodging house occupied by Furuko.

Just now Sagachi and Kenta Ken will come down from the back of his horse to approach the inn and call Furuko who is in it, suddenly, the door was opened by Furuko.

"Nisan, you're finally home, too" said Furuko, who had just opened the door of her inn, then the blue-haired girl rushed over to her brother.
