Sebek’s Strength (pt2)

Sebek says he never passes up a rigorous training opportunity, and he is not very enthused to learn that the Harveston sled race involves sleds pulled by plushies: “That isn’t quite the rugged racing experience I envisioned.”

During Harveston he does push-ups, stretches, running, squats and drawing water from a well for exercise by 6am, encouraging Idia to join him (Idia refuses).

He says he is always awake early for training as “a little exercise will shake off any drowsiness” and also invites Grim to join him (Grim refuses).

He observes that going up and down the stairs of the bell tower at Noble Bell College “could make for an excellent training regimen.”

Sebek says that he did not have any stuffed animals as a child because he grew out of “such childishness” one month after he was born: “Though I did hug a sandbag while I slept. Exercise equipment were my toys when I was a toddler.”

When Epel encourages the team to take regular breaks to stay on top of their game Sebek insists on utilizing every second they have to practice for the Harveston sled race.

When Jade recommends they do one last thing before bed, Sebek suggests a pre-bedtime workout.

Sebek has a voice line of, “I despise whining. Adversity is our greatest form of nourishment! Without pain, there can be no gain!”

Sebek says that he trains “most assiduously” every day and Lilia says he demands much of both himself and others.

Silver says that after Malleus and Lilia enrolled at NRC Sebek’s training regimen became more rigorous than ever before, and he would stare at Silver’s acceptance letter with “that same stern look he gets when training.”
