The others sat across from her and listened quietly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Revalis Clan has always been about strength, so every year, the clan holds this competition. It’s not just for fun, as it will be the one that decides everything.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clara frowned. \"So it’s basically... survival of the strongest.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rachel nodded. \"Exactly. Win, and you will get more support. Lose, and you might not even get enough to continue training.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She then simply shrugged. \"Some people rose fast this way, but some top people also get forgotten just as quickly.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rynor leaned forward, resting his elbows on his knees. \"Heh, sounds like the clan’s version of natural selection.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rynar snorted. \"More like natural bullying.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That earned a small chuckle from Dahlia, though it faded when Rachel continued.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But this competition is mostly for the younger generation, like Rynar and Rynor,\" she said, nodding toward the twins.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The main family descendants don’t usually join, as they’re already trained privately by the elders and don’t need to fight for scraps.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eliza tilted her head slightly. \"Then what about you, Lady Rachel? You’re from the main family, aren’t you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rachel’s hands tightened. \"Yes... I am. But not all main bloodlines are treated equally. Some of us... were considered ’disappointing.’\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion frowned slightly. \"Because of your condition?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She nodded, turning toward the window.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"When my body grew weak, and my mana trait failed to awaken, they stopped investing in me. They don’t even tell you and just stop immediately.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clara looked down, her cheerful face dimming. \"That’s... rough.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rachel chuckled softly, shaking her head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s fine. I learned to live with it. At least I had a house to live in, and later, I had these two idiots keeping me busy.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rynar grinned awkwardly. \"Heh, we weren’t that bad.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rynor elbowed him. \"You burned down her garden twice.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rynor frowned, yelling back. \"That was your fucking idea!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rachel laughed quietly. \"Both of you were terrible. But you made the house feel alive again.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The mood lightened a little, but Garion’s tone stayed serious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So this yearly competition... it could raise or lower someone’s standing, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rachel nodded. \"Yes. For some, it’s their one chance to prove themselves. For others, it’s the start of their downfall.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rynar cracked his neck. \"Then I guess it’s time we give them a show.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rynor smirked. \"Yeah, a big one.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rachel smiled at them, proud yet worried. \"Just don’t forget that strength means nothing without purpose.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion’s eyes softened as he looked at her. \"And you’ve already taught them that lesson, haven’t you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rachel chuckled faintly. \"Maybe a little.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion stood up from his seat, turning toward the direction of the Revalis Clan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I see that we’ve talked enough. From what I saw above, the competition’s already starting.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He turned slightly toward Rachel, bowing down a bit. \"So, I’ll take my leave now, miss.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rachel smiled softly, bowing down a bit too. \"I see... thank you for your time, Garion.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion returned her smile with his usual cocky grin. \"Of course, Miss Rachel.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her eyes softened as she looked at the twins. \"You two... Be careful out there.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rynar nodded quickly. \"Don’t worry, Mother. We’ll make you proud.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rynor chuckled. \"Yeah. Just don’t faint when you see us win.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rachel gave them a light glare, though her lips curved. \"Still as mouthy as ever.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion turned toward the door but paused. \"By the way, about the flying ship... Is it all right to land or float near the arena?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rachel tilted her head, thinking for a moment, then smiled again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don’t worry. As long as you don’t come down with bad intentions, no one will bother you. The elders might raise an eyebrow, but that’s all.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rynor smirked. \"Even if they dare to bother us, we’ll handle them easily.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rachel sighed, shaking her head. \"That confidence of yours will get you into trouble one day.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion chuckled. \"Heh, that’s what makes them fun to train.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He then turned to leave, but before he could step out, a screen suddenly appeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[System Alert]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Surprise Mission Unlocked!]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Objective: Bring Rachel back to the God Gym and appoint her as an Elder.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Reward: Surprise!]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion blinked. \"...What?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The others turned, confused by his expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He ignored them and continued staring at the screen, his mind already racing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Bring her back and make her an elder?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His lips slowly curved upward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Rachel, huh... She’s kind, gentle, and strong in her own way. The disciples could use someone like her.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His eyes dropped to her frail hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Even if she’s weak now, that doesn’t matter. Mana isn’t the only path.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He clenched his fist, quite excited.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’With the God Physique Path, she could recover and become strong. That’s what the God Gym is all about.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he couldn’t just tell her that outright. He needed to play it smoothly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a short pause, Garion turned back, smiling lightly. \"By the way, Miss Rachel.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rachel looked up, curious. \"Yes?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion rested his hand on the doorframe. \"Why don’t you come with us?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rachel blinked. \"Follow you? To the competition?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion nodded. \"You don’t have to show yourself. You can stay on the ship if you’d rather not deal with the clan.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rachel frowned slightly, unsure. \"I don’t think that’s...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion interrupted, his smile softening. \"You haven’t seen the twins in a long time, right? You should watch them fight.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The twins perked up immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rynar grinned. \"He’s right! Come on, Mother, you’ll see how much we’ve improved.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rynor leaned forward. \"Yeah, and it’s not like the arena’s going to explode or anything. Probably.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rachel sighed, shaking her head, though her eyes softened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You two really don’t take no for an answer, huh?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion chuckled. \"They get that from me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rachel looked at all of them for a moment... then smiled faintly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright. I’ll come... but only to watch.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion’s smirk widened. \"That’s all I need.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He then summoned the flying ship again from his system storage. \"Let’s go.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The twins followed, excitement flickering in their eyes, and behind them, Rachel rose from her chair slowly and followed behind them.\u003C\u002Fp>",1023,"2026-06-06T11:12:18.542Z",1,"novelbin.me","adca46178fb82d75fac3e1a17ace37f6fdfdac3d1bfc012eb42e5bf7f9bfac8d","heretic-trainer-the-gym-is-my-cultivation-method-chapter-118","heretic-trainer-the-gym-is-my-cultivation-method-chapter-116",613,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fheretic-trainer-the-gym-is-my-cultivation-method-cover.jpg"]
