20 < How to become stronger (2) > (1/2)

― I had a good look at the ranking today.

Monday afternoon.

I was on the phone with Eugene.

“Is the pre-ranking video resolved already? ”

It's too soon, though.

- No, I saw it myself.

“· · · · · · Directly? ”

- Yes.

“Aren't you busy? ”

Get rid of the Doppelgängers, the Kim Sin Woo case, and you won't have ten bodies left.

- Busy.

“I'm busy, but do you have time to see my ranking battle? ”

- Just popping by for a little business?

Sounds like a lie to me.

I'm concerned about who I am, so I'm guessing I took the time to gather information.

- But how did you do it?

“What?”

- You're being ridiculous again. How did you penetrate an opponent's durability in this ranking battle?

Because of the Demibeast's nature, I penetrated the enemy's durability rapidly.

· · · · · · · · You cannot answer.

“I just stabbed him in the middle of nowhere. ”

I was roughly surrounded.

― Nevertheless, how to achieve C + Durability with the strength of the F rank.

“I just did it. ”

I'm not lying.

Stabbing was just stabbing.

I did something else before I stabbed him.

- Chet, that's enough. Say no if you don't want to tell me. Don't wander off.

His voice became dull. I feel frustrated.

- Do you have time tomorrow?

“Tomorrow?”

- Yes, you should get the information.

And I said, ”Oh, okay. What time should I see you? ”

― Why don't we have dinner together · · 6: 30?

“What's your location?”

- You know the octopus, right? A limited edition restaurant near you.

Of course not.

“Yes, I know. I'll see you at the rooftop at 6: 30. ”

Well, you can search for it.

Tuesday at 5: 00 a.m.

My eyes opened naturally.

Full of energy throughout the body.

Blood boils.

I want to exercise fiercely.

“· · · · · · · · · Wow. ”

The Demibeast's blood running through my veins seems to be forcing me to use my strength right now.

This is a side effect of boiling pure blood. You should continue to use your health.

“I took a day off. ”

I got out of bed.

I don't think it's a good idea to take classes in this condition, so I'll just have to train in the morning.

I lightly washed my toilets, changed into an army uniform, and left the dormitory room.

There were more people in the training room than I thought.

The entire grade is a shared training facility.

“Huh? The Bible? ”

I'm staring at the equipment inside the training room.

I heard a woman's voice in my ears.

“Hayeon?”

“Yes. Good morning. I've never seen you in the training room before. Did you and I keep running out of time? ”

That's the first time you've seen it.

It's my first time in the training room.

“Do you train at this hour every day? ”

“Yes.”

“Fantastic.”

“That's great. Just getting used to it. ”

Hashiyeon smiled nicely.

“More importantly, yesterday's ranking war. You're the man. ”

“Rank # 4 says that, so it sounds like you're making fun of something. ”

“Oh, no way. ”

Hashiyeon slapped my hand.

“Oh, you've rested too long. We need to start the next set. I'll see you in class later, Seo Yul. ”

“Yes, well done. ”

“Yeah, you, too. ”

At the end of the sentence, he headed to the tool in the corner of the training room.

I pretended to stretch and looked at him.

Something looks like a benchpress, but the weight is unusual.

· · · · · · 820kg?

I doubted my eyes for a moment.

It even raises the roof like a cotton candy.

Looking at the scene with a dazzled look, I suddenly saw an empty benchpress next to it.

Approximately 180 kg.

I think I can handle this.

I lay on the bench, looking at it lightly.

And quickly grab the rod.

Lift Barbell with all your strength...

“Hehe!”

― Failed to post.

It won't budge.

“Kick-kick. Cute. ”

You hear the laughter of a woman who looks like her senior.

“Looks like you saw him in the ranking war yesterday. Can you hold the pole? ”

“· · · · · · · · Hm, that's okay. Today I'm going to do aerobic exercises with more stamina than strength. ”

After a desperate excuse, I left.

I don't know why, but I'm ashamed.

“Ugh.”

The only way to get rid of this shame is to run like crazy.

I ran out of the training room like crazy on the playground.

After Tuesday's class.

I headed to the Ox Party, the place I promised to meet with Yuhua.

“Welcome. We'll confirm your reservation.”

When I stepped inside the hanok, the woman dressed in the hanbok welcomed me.

“The group is already inside. Booker's name is Yuhua. ”

“Ah. You must be familiar with Yoo-Hwa. May I ask your name? ”

“The Book of Genesis.”

“Thank you. I'll get you there right away. ”

I followed the woman inside Hanok. The woody and yellowish scent of Korean houses soothes the tip of my nose.

“He's waiting in here. ”

“Yes, thank you. ”

“Have a good time, then. ”

The woman bows her head and leaves.

I knocked on the visit.

“Come in.”

I went inside.

“You're just in time. ”

Luxurious rooms, even in plain sight.

He was sitting on the floor drinking tea.

“The class ended a little late. ”

“Aha. Was that a monster theory class? ”

“Yes.”

“I see. You're still the instructor. Sit down.”

“Yes.”

I sat across from him.

“I don't know what you like about the menu, so I asked you for my favorite. Is that okay?”

“Of course.”

Everything will be delicious for free. What's wrong with free food?

“Let me start by saying thank you again. I'm alive because of you. ”
