Chapter 35 Hangover 6 (1/2)
John quickly gave his information to the female Floran and signed as a participant.
He and Lenny were just about to enter in the participants' room when he heard the female Floran say.
”By the way. My name is Peri. It was a pleasure to meet you, John Connor.” She said.
”Oh...” Lenny, that was beside John, smirked, ”You didn't messed up in your fist encounter with the opposite sex-”
”Shut up.” John rolled his eyes.
Lenny scratched his chin and mischievously said, ”I didn't knew you liked interracial relation-”
”Shut up!” John kicked Lenny right in his buttocks, ”Can't you keep your mouth shut. Dammit!” The alcoholic beverage from before was taking the effects, John got more social interactive and outspoken.
Once they entered John's waiting room, Lenny found the couch and immediately sat down. He looked at the side and opened the freezer.
”Want some?” Lenny took a bottle of whiskey from the freezer and offered to John.
”No.” John rejected it, ”I'm going to fight. I need to keep my body at top notch performance.” He walked toward the changing room, he must put a clothes that allowed him more freedom of movement than a jeans and a hoodie.
Lenny let out a hearty laugh, ”You're right. You don't need now, but you'll need...”
John entered in the bathroom and took out his clothes.
He searched for clothing in the cabinets until he found some blank, blue and elastic sport shorts, he wore it.
Lenny was casually seating in the safe when he heard the door of the bathroom being opened, ”Have you finished changing...” Then he stopped speaking and blankly stared at John.
”Is it bad?” John saw that Lenny was staring at him. He looked at the mirror and saw that it was okay. He was wearing nothing but the sport shorts.
”Damn...” Lenny clicked his tongue in displeasure, ”I hadn't took a closer look before, but your body is really top notch isn't. Despite you looking very slim and weak when wearing normal clothes, you sure have a muscle body.”
”Really?” John flexed up his arm and looked at the mirror, ”Those guys at the line surely have a lot more muscles than me.”
”Yes, they have. But their muscles aren't earned through a long period of exercise. Those are probably muscles that were grown using medices, drugs and going in intensive bodybuilding.” Lenny stood up and circled around John, ”Your body was carefully trained throughout years under a military training with the proper food diet and exercise. Your muscles aren't overgrown, they allow you to use a lot of strength while maintaining the elasticity and not increasing the weight by much, allowing you to make fast movements.”
”Is this good?”
”Good?” Lenny took a long sip in the whiskey bottle, ”It means that now you have a lot more chances to beat up those guys.”
Lenny walked over the sofa and casually fell on it, ”You know why I brought you here, especially today?”
”To test if I can control the power... Bullet Time...?”
