Chapter 126: Training Chapter 126: Training “If that’s what you think is best,”the system responded.

A determined fire lit in Nnenna’s chest.

“Then let’s do that later” Lying on her bed, Nnenna’s mind drifted to the old man and his sons.

By now, they should have finished moving their things into the new shop.

She wanted to go see them, but her body had other plans.

She sighed.

I’ll check on them later.

Just as she was about to close her eyes, a sudden ding echoed in her head.

Ding!

“The good deeds of the righteous will be remembered forever.

You gained 5% of Nurse Courage’s affection even in your absence.

Your time with her is unforgettable, and she misses you.

You earned 5 Good Points for this!” Nnenna blinked.

What?

She hadn’t even done anything today!

Yet somehow, Nurse Courage still remembered her?

A small smile tugged at her lips.

Even without seeing her, even without trying… she was making an impact.

Maybe she wasn’t just running through life anymore.

Maybe, just maybe, she was starting to leave footprints behind.

The message continued to shock Nnenna.

Nurse Courage missed her?

It wasn’t a one sided feeling, she missed the woman too.

Scratch that, she missed her a lot.

But then, something clicked in her mind.

“System,” she called out, her voice thoughtful.

“Is this what you meant before?

That my previous good deeds would keep earning me Good Points?

You mentioned it when I was in a coma… that if my past deeds had gathered enough Good Points, I could have woken up.” She shuddered slightly, recalling that terrible moment in the hospital, when her so called family had visited her, their words cold and indifferent.

The Love System responded instantly.

“Yes.

Your past good deeds will always work in your favor, even in the future.

They don’t disappear, they continue to live on, rewarding you over time.” Nnenna’s eyes widened.

“Wow…

that’s amazing.” So even if something happened to her again, though she prayed it never would, her past kindness could still save her?

That meant… “If I ever fall into a coma again, my past good deeds could help me gain enough Good Points to wake up?” she asked, still processing the information.

“That is correct.” She exhaled.

“I don’t plan on going into a coma again, but… this is good to know.” Her mind spun with possibilities.

“How much Good Points could I actually earn from all my past deeds?” “And how long would it take?” Her heart beat a little faster.

Maybe kindness wasn’t just something people did for others.

Maybe… it was also an investment.

“Uncountable.” The system’s response was clear and direct.

“It might take a long while since you haven’t helped many people so far.

But keep going.

One day, your good deeds will accumulate to the point where you won’t need to struggle for Good Points anymore.” That was a relief.

“By then, you would have helped nations.” Nnenna’s breath hitched at the thought.

Helping nations?

It sounded unreal.

But the system was telling her it was possible.

Hope flickered in her heart.

One day, I won’t have to scavenge for Good Points every day.

She held onto that thought as she slowly sat up, feeling the soreness in her body.

Once she felt a little better, she ate a small breakfast in her room.

Then, without wasting any time, she went back to the training grounds.

Her goal was clear.

She had to get that 10 km run within 45 minutes.

She started running.

At first, her body protested.

The soreness from yesterday’s intense training made every step feel twice as hard.

But she pushed through it.

As she ran, some of the palace servants passed by, watching her with confusion.

“What is she doing?” “Why is she suddenly so determined to train?” They whispered among themselves but soon lost interest and went on with their duties.

Some of them, however, took the news back to the royal family.

As expected, their reaction was nothing but mockery.

“She missed all her classes and now she’s running?

What good will that do?” “Running isn’t even part of her education.” “Is she trying to become a soldier?

Or is she just stupid?” “She’s more hopeless than I thought.” Their words held no weight against Nnenna’s determination even if she heard them.

They could laugh all they wanted.

She didn’t care.

She was going to finish this run.

Nnenna kept running.

Her breath was ragged, her muscles burned, and sweat drenched her clothes, but she refused to stop.

At first, every step was a battle.

Her body was still sore from the previous training session, and the impact of her feet against the ground felt like small jolts of pain shooting up her legs.

Her lungs screamed for air, her heart pounded in her chest, and for the first hour, it felt like she was dragging a boulder behind her.

But something strange started happening.

She kept going.

And her body… adapted.

The first time she completed 10 km that morning, it took her one hour and 30 minutes.

It was still much better than her previous record, but far from the 45 minute goal.

She took a short rest, stretched out her aching limbs, and then got back to it.

This time, she felt lighter.

Her legs still hurt, but they didn’t feel like lead anymore.

Her breathing, which had been heavy and uneven, found a rhythm.

She fell into the pattern of controlled strides, not too fast, not too slow.

This time, she finished in one hour and 20 minutes.

Still not good enough.

She rested again, took deep breaths, and refueled with some water before going again.

Something inside her had changed.

Her muscles, though sore, now felt responsive rather than weak.

Her breathing was smoother, and she no longer gasped for air.

Her mental endurance had improved too, her mind no longer screamed at her to stop.

Instead, it urged her to keep going.
