11 Goals. (1/2)

After Killua left, Drake resumed his training schedule. It wasn't as hard on him as every other day was, but maybe that's because Drake and Killua had real fun earlier today, allowing Drake to relax more than he had in the past several months in the system. Yeah, drake had fun outside of the system but because of the time scaling difference, he spent much more time in the system.

Drake spent a few hours doing nothing but push-ups, sit-ups, pull-ups, jumping jacks, squats, and running while in his training vest. The extra weight of the vest felt like nothing compared to the weight of the Testing Gate. If each side of the First Gate weighs two tonnes, then Drake has to exert about two thousand kilograms of force with each arm to open it... It's mind-boggling thinking about how Killua can push open the Third Gate since it weighs sixteen tonnes. That means he is able to exert at least eight thousand kilograms of force in each arm.

Killua is an absolute monster when it comes to strength. He isn't even a strength type fighter, he's a speed/stamina fighter!

”I'm going to add another ten kilograms tomorrow. From now on, I'm going to add twenty more kilograms each week. Thanks to Zebro's training, I'm able to lift about two hundred kilograms in each arm, but that's only for about thirty minutes.” Drake whispered to himself as he finished his final push-up.

”At this rate, I won't be strong enough to open the First Gate before the Hunter Exam... I need to try harder!” Drake shouted this towards the sky. This was an open statement straight from his heart.

As Drake finished his declaration, Zebro came out of the cabin. Drake didn't hear him, but Zebro heard every word of Drake's promise. Zebro started to tear up at the dedication he felt emanating off of Drake. 'This is the reason he tries so hard... I will support him with everything I have then. Once we get closer towards the end of the year, I will try to teach him about Aura and Nen. It's the least I can do to prepare him.'

Unbeknownst to both of them, off in the distance, at the Gatekeeper's office, Seaquant heard Drake's shout and found a new level of respect for the boy. 'He came here to train to be a hunter? I may not like the kid, but he has got guts, that's for sure. Maybe I'll teach him to fight a little... Give him some advice, Hunter to Hunter style.'

(The very next morning)

As Drake woke up, he felt a smile creep upon his face. He met Killua yesterday and even got him to say that he was his friend. Today would be a good day, and it would be another day of hard training.

As Drake went downstairs after finis.h.i.+ng his morning routine, he saw both Zebro and Seaquant sitting down, eating breakfast. They both seemed to be in a good mood and were just as happy as Drake was. Drake didn't know why they were so happy, but he wasn't going to ruin the day for anyone.

”Good morning Zebro-sensei, good morning Seaquant-san, how are you two doing?”

They both looked at Drake with a smile before Zebro decided to speak, ”We're doing just fine Drake, how about yourself? You look quite happy today.”

”I'm doing great Sensei, thanks for asking. Zebro-sensei, do you mind if I add more weight to the vest? I'm already used to the current weight.”
