72 Why Bother Trying (1/2)
For the past few days, Desmond has been inside his home waiting for either Ragnar, Seraphine, or worse the Strange Man to come and kill him. In that time he knew if they we're not going to kill him so soon than they were at least watching him because it was only logical they would. Where ever Desmond goes something completely out of his control happens.
Between what happened with the Mirror Man and what happened now it was hard to choose what was worse. In both situations, he is up against people he can't even touch even the sweetest person Mrs.Seraphine is out of his league. She may look normal, but anyone who can stare down the Strange Man like she did and make him conceded is someone to not take lightly.
There is no trick Desmond knows he can play and a large chunk of the spells he knows was gifted to him by the Strange Man. After going through all the information inside his head multiple times Desmond came up with the best and only strategy he can choose.
Which is just don't try anything it was a brilliant strategy Desmond came up with since resistance is futile and because he is most likely being watched. He figured out Doing everything the same, going to the Hunter's Bizarre just like he usually does and staying away from the DCPD would most likely keep him alive.

So that's what he did knowing everything he didn't was being watched by people he could never hope to touch.

After the mess at Hunter's Bizarre a whole year past it was full of physical training, magical training, weapons training, and close combat training. After suffering through all that Desmond feels as though he now has some combat skill worth mentioning. His Diligence has boosted the number of spells he can cast and has gifted him a strong muscular body. While his still old and wrinkly no one could deny the gains he has made during his training.
So, impressed by his strong physique Desmond risked his life and looked in a mirror just to see himself shirtless. The inhuman training Desmond was put through gave thick biceps, thighs, and abs that could only have been chiseled from stone.
Constantly absorbing magic nurtured Desmond's body so much he can easily lift 200 pounds and lift up to 400 when he enhances himself. Occasionally Desmond would rub old on himself just to admire how he looks even more. If anyone has seen an oiled up muscular old man that can punch a person unconscious than it's easy to picture Desmond.
The situation at the book store Hunter's Bizarre has remained static while everyone there is nice to him and they treat him well Desmond still feels as though there is distrust. With each side knowing something about the other while one side having a clear advantage how couldn't there be.
