Chapter 57: Repping Out More Than A Ton
Selistia is a little pissed that Zio is not paying any attention to her, she did put a little extra effort in getting ready to impress Zio and get it on his good side, she could tell that Zio is still neutral towards her.
Till now she has been calling Zio her friend so that he feels he can rely on her and seeing that Zio has not gone against it is showing her that Zio is not bothered by it.
"Come let's have dinner, the sun has already set, you said you have already eaten right?"
Marcus asked.
"Yes Grandpa"
She said.
"Good, then you both should rest for the day, tomorrow you both will have to visit the academy again"
Marcus said.
Selistia wanted to stay on for a little longer but she didn't say anything and just nodded.
"Maid, take Selistia's guest to the guest room and make sure all of his needs are fulfilled"
Marcus said.
"Yes Grand Duke"
The maid said and bowed, she then walked towards Zio.
"Sir, please follow me"
She said and escorted Zio towards the guest room, Zio didn't speak much and followed right behind the maid, as he walked through the massive corridors of the mansion, he was surprised to see the things he saw, the floor is clean as it could get and the walls are covered with art and painting of many people.
He wondered how many hours have gone into these things to be created, all the time that has been waster doing this could be used to increase strength and grow stronger.
The maid soon guided him to his room, once Zio walked in he was surprised by how big this room alone was, it was bigger than his home that was in Mount Asura.
"I hope you have a great rest, everything can be found in this room, and if there is anything that you need, you can ask for it"
The maid said.
Zio looked around in the room and saw something was missing.
"Can I have some weights?"
He asked.
"Weights?"
The maid asked in confusion as it was a very weird request.
"Yes, weights to lift"
"Ah, sorry, if you want to exercise, you have to go to the exercise yard outside build for the soldiers and guards"
She said.
"Can you tell me where it is?"
"Yes, just walk down the corridor and take a right, you will find an open field, you will find it very easily because some guards are always there exercising"
The maid said. She is confused as to why Zio would do so instead of taking a long nice rest in the luxury room that has been provided to him, if it was her, she would spend as much time in this room as possible but it wouldn't happen no matter how hard she tries because she is just a maid at the end.
"You can go now"
Zio told and closed the door behind him, he once again looked at the room and thought how much of wasted space this was, there was so much space to move around in this room that it was ridiculous, a person doesn't need such a big room to just sleep and stay, on top of that these people didn't even use this free space.
If it was him living here, he would have a lot of stuff in this room, food storage, a lot of heavyweights.
He then jumped on the bed and felt his body sink into the mattress, this was the softest mattress he has ever rested on, he didn't like it, it was too soft for him.
"I don't think I would be able to adapt to this kind of lifestyle"
Zio said.
[Hahaha, after sleeping on top of a rock for years, it's not a surprise, if you continue experiencing this you will adapt to it]
Asura said.
"I don't know"
Asura said and got up and walked out of the room and headed towards the exercise field, he followed the path that the maid informed him about.
It didn't take him long before he found the field, just like the maid said, he saw a few guards working out, all these guards were big and muscular, as they lifted those heavyweights, their muscles would stretch and expand making them more eye-catching.
He also noticed some maids who were watching from the side and giggling, it was clear that these maids like muscular men but this only seems to be a small majority as most women in this country like boys with linear builds.
Zio ignored all the thought and headed towards the weight lifting area, some guards noticed Zio and were surprised to see him, they could tell that the boy is very well built and they praised Zio in their mind.
Zio looked around and finally found something that could stimulate him and make him work hard, a massive iron ball that seems to be tied to a pulley, and the other end of the rope is tied to a handle.
The hulking mass of iron ball was over one ton in weight and only guards who were at Energy Manipulation level three or higher could pull the iron ball up.
When the soldiers saw Zio heading towards the iron ball they were shocked, they watched as Zio grabbed the handle.
"Boy, you will hurt yourself, you are not powerful enou-"
Someone tried to stop Zio from hurting himself but before he could even finish his sentence, he froze as he saw Zio pulling down the rope and lifting the iron ball that weighed more than a ton very easily.
Every guard in the field is shocked by the display of Zio's strength, he is lifting something that should be impossible for someone on Zio's level, Zio didn't stop there, he then started to work on his muscles by doing reps with the iron ball.
This was a shock to some guards because some of them are at Energy Manipulation level one or two but none of them could do what Zio is doing who is just at peak Fundamental level.
