(Benjamin) PUSH!

(Me) I CAN'T ANYMORE! (**Thud!**) (**Huh—huh—huh...**)
(**Falls on the floor exhausted and breathing heavily**)
(Benjamin) Tsk. Tsk. Tsk... Only seven laps with 30kg on the body... i have a lot of work to get you on shape...
You all are probably asking how i got myself into this situation...
Well... in short I Bit more than I can chew...
Let me explain, but for that lets go back in time a bit...
(**Flashback noises**)
I will keep it short and only say the main parts
when I was around 6, my father started teaching me math and since I already found magic and writing/reading easy they kept calling me a genius, so I played along math was always one of my strong points just before biology and chemistry...
After a couple of classes my father noticed that I had such an easy time that he stated taking me to work with him...
He as I didn't know before was responsible for guarding the family gates and checking wagons of merchandise entering the city, he says it isn't such important work and anyone that knows math can do it, but I think otherwise since he's been doing it for 15 years, he already knows most of the merchants and their common merchandise...
One day when I was almost 8yd in one checking the merchant was talking to his partner about prices going up and down depending on the season and asking his partner if he knew why, looking back now the kid must have been an apprentice of sort, well he took a tad too long to answer so I blurted out, "It's because of the seasons and the quantity and demand laws" why the seasons the kid asked, and I pointed to the merchandise that was mostly fresh vegies and meat from certain monsters...
He at first didn't understand and I looked at the merchant that was baffled at my answer, after a couple of seconds looking at him, he said for me to proceed and at that time I looked at my father who was also baffled and in shock, so I kept going...
... I said "The seasons because of the veggies and also some of the monster meat can only be obtained in this season A.K.A Spring", how about the law that you said? asked the merchant.
I Answer, "The law of quantity and demand as the name self explains means that the more quantity you have the lower the price, the higher the demand the price also follows, but when the two are on equal terms the price stays fixated on a solid value and that value we call base, so to know which products are up or down on the market just look at the price and subtract the base, if positive the demand is higher and if negative the quantity is higher."
Again they stayed baffled... After that small class almost all the merchants knew my name and started calling me Lil Money Maker, honestly it was just Little merchant, but I put it like that to sound cooler...
After a few more months working with father, grampa came to visit us, he is something like the oldest patriarch alive... So, he rules the family and city... He started asking me questions about my general knowledge and when I got them all right he said something to my father and left... well that is about all the knowledge I could part and after that my father released me from my duties and gave me permission to roam the city with the condition I take a guard with me.
A few months later as I was in the public library some kid came up to me and started asking questions about magic, after talking to the kid I found out he was somewhat a cousin of mine, he's from an outsider family like mine but they don't focus on magic but swordsmanship and spearsmanship...
After that my time was spent teaching him magic and going with him to his side of the family to watch people train, but you guessed it I couldn't keep my tongue for myself, after telling him some of my thoughts he told his father who wanted to hear more and soon after I was making small corrections to almost all fighters, to be honest I don't know shit about swords nor spears but I watched a lot of anime and just told them shit I saw in the episodes...
And that is how I began to be called, The Teacher, Magical Librarian and The Genius kid...
My father and grampa probably heard all the rumors and started this program... I guess...
