6 Earth. (1/2)

It's been a week since Zebro agreed to train me, and it has been a brutal week. I thought it wouldn't be that hard to get used to the weight of everything, but I was wrong. Literally, everything in the house weighs over twenty kilograms. The door to the bathroom is made of solid f.u.c.king steel! It weighs over five hundred kilograms If it wasn't for the weight of the Testing Gate, I would have thought whoever built this house, its furniture, and utensils was absolutely insane. Though I also think they are a genius, I mean how do you make a normal-sized cup weigh twenty kilograms?

The weight of everything aside, the training isn't that hard. I continue with my modified Rock Lee-style of training, where you do an insane amount of reps in every exercise until failure. Zebro made me a new training schedule on top of my regular training schedule. It hurts my everything, but it's worth it.

I can't wait until I'm strong enough to open the Testing Gate. Now it's only a matter of time. Speaking of time, since it's been a week here I guess that means I should head back to my Earth for the day. It should be morning right about now. I should call for Ai-chan.

'Ai-chan, you there? It should be morning on my Earth, right?'

'Yes, and good morning!' as she finished her sentence, Drake suddenly found himself in his bed back on Earth. Was it all a dream after all? That exit was too sudden. I'm just going to call for Ai-chan and if she is still here, then I'll be one hundred percent convinced that the System is real.

”Ai-chan?” Moment of truth. Does she respond or did I have a long, crazy dream?

”Yes, Drake-kun? Did you need anything from me?” That confirms it. My life is like a webnovel... except I'm not super overpowered from the start like most other Isekai... This is some bulls.h.i.+t! How come I didn't get to meet some G.o.d and make a ridiculous wish or get some cheat like every other Isekai* protagonist? f.u.c.k my life... Whatever, I will just get stronger the old-fas.h.i.+oned way — Training montages, tournament arcs, and plot armour! Just kidding, as if I would have plot armour. This isn't some webnovel or anime, this is my life.

”No, just checking to see if you were still here. I wouldn't want to lose an Angel like you, Ai-chan.” My progress on softening her heart has been slow, but steady. Over the past week in the system, I would occasionally talk to her and compliment her for the sake of it. She seems to get embarra.s.sed but tries to not show it. It's incredibly cute.

I could almost hear her blush if that was possible. ”Oh, okay. Don't hesitate to call me if you need anything! I will talk to you later than, Drake-kun!” She even started to add honorifics to my name. This is the fruits of my labor.

”Okay, Ai-chan. See you later!” Being so nice to her is kind of draining, but I think it will be worth it. Besides, I'm not lying about how I feel, just being more open and exaggerated that I normally would. You can't fault me for being honest, can you?

Since I'm back on Earth, I should spend the day doing some light research on Hunter x Hunter, maybe rewatch some of the anime and read the manga. After that though? I think I will watch some other anime and just relax. While I'm in the Hunter's world I will work nonstop, so why not relax while on Earth instead? I really need to come up with a better name for the world of Hunter x Hunter... Calling it the Hunter's world or the world of Hunters will get exhausting fast. Maybe I can shorten it to HxH world or HH? That second one might be a little misleading though... Whatever. I will just say in 'the System' from now on.

Now then, I think it's time for me to do some research.

***

I've spent the past 10 hours rewatching the anime and I started to read the manga too. I think I have my work cut out for me now. This might take longer than I thought... Maybe I can just read the fan-wiki? No, watching the anime and reading the manga is probably better. I need to understand what I read, not just read it.

Either way, I think I have earned some slacking time.

Webnovel, here I come!

I log in to my webnovel account and check to see if there are any updates in my library. There are some novels with updates, but all of them cost spirit stones... I'm just going to watch some anime instead.

Crunchyroll, here I come!

I log in to my Crunchyroll account and started to look at the new seasonal shows. Doctor Stone looks really cool. So does the new fate spin-off, Lord El-Melloi II Sei no Jikenbo: Rail Zeppelin Grace Note. The t.i.tle is way too long though. Those are the only two shows that I think are actually good this season, though Toaru Kagaku no Accelerator does have potential.
