Kapitel 139: Forged Star (1)

"Mom, I'm home."

Ken staggered through the front door of his home, feeling his muscles protest from the hard training he'd been doing. If it was just the team training and Hiroki's training he wouldn't be this exhausted.

However, he still had to swing his bat 500 times a day on top of the 150 pitches he made himself complete. Thankfully, today was the last day of his Ascend to the Peak (2) mission, meaning he would receive more rewards soon.

"Welcome home Kenny. Dinner will be ready soon, go and shower first."

Yuki replied without turning around, keeping her focus on the stove. It was only when she heard Ken's stumbling that she turned around and finally looked at him.

A look of worry appeared on her face as she saw the state of her son.

"Kenny, do you really have to train so hard?" She asked, feeling subconsciously guilty for his suffering.
