Silver and Training (pt2)

Silver says that he spends his days off training if he does not have any Equestrian Club activities.

He says that he has sparred many times with Sebek and seeing him hard at work inspires him to train that much more, and that if he were to change dorms he would like to go into Savanaclaw, as he would have no shortage of training partners and could “also get a greater breadth of experience, which would contribute to (his) personal growth.” 

(Note: Silver actually chooses Ignihyde, at first, and then changes his answer to Savanaclaw. Lilia also chooses Savanaclaw, while Malleus chooses Ignihyde.)

Silver says that his best subject in school is PE, and he has “never really struggled with anything involving physical fitness.”

Silver explains, “When I started here, it felt like I already had the necessary strength and endurance for class.My daily life back home was training enough. Drawing river water, chopping firewood…Chasing around the animals who lived nearby must have helped strengthen my legs as well.”

This may have all contributed to how Silver seems to be stronger than he looks: Ortho says that he possesses “muscle strength far above the average” and is “incredibly built,” while Idia says he has “hard muscles.”

When Azul explains the boardgame club to Silver, his response is to adapt boardgames into an opportunity for the Equestrian Club to train together on rainy days, much to Azul’s dismay.

Malleus says there “is something to be said” for the level of perseverance that drives Silver to train hard every morning. The two characters have interesting overlap through lines about things that do not betray you: hard work for Silver, stars for Malleus.
