4:00 AM
Its still early in the goddamn morning.
Birds are sleeping, flowers are not blooming.
On times like this, kids like you, should be still asleep since it's 4 in the morning.
*Alarm Beeping*
Except for one boy within the Zenin Clan who just woke up from the sound of his alarm clock ringing.
A small hand reached out the ringing alarm clock and turned it off.
*Click*
"*Yawn* Another day, another training montage."
From underneath the blankets of the futon emerged a black haired youth with ebony eyes.
He stood up, leaving his futon and went to the bathroom for his daily rituals.
Afterwards, he was now seen wearing a blue keikogi that fits his size as he said.
"Well, this Heavenly Restricted body is not gonna get stronger by itself. But first..."

Location: Household Library

5:00 AM
In one of the library tables that is filled with books and ancient scrolls, a young Zenin Toya was reading from a book.
He spent an entire hour just studying about Curses and it's history.
"... Many have tried to search for an answer for it's orgins, but it only led to dead ends and multiple conspiracy theories. Most people say that Curses emerged on its own by mankind's collective unconscious, some say that it originated from the Gods cursing humans for committing a grave sin such as disobeying the Gods, and the most recent theory is that it's a form of extraterrestrial virus that managed to make way here on Earth thousands of years ago. But regardless of whatever the origins are, it is a known fact that Curses are a threat to humanity as a whole."
Toya then looked up from his book and say the time.
"It's already 5 in the morning? Huh, I guess time does fly when you get distracted. Well, I guess it's time for my workout."
Toya closed his book and left it at the table.
Then he left library to proceed to his next location.

Time Skip: 30 Minutes Later
Location: Training Grounds
-------------
5:30 AM
Toya is seen in the middle of the training grounds doing unreasonable amounts of pushups.
"266... 267... 268... 269..."
I think you readers already know what kind of workout this is.
That's right, it's the famous One Punch Man Workout!
But with a twist.
Toya's whole body is covered in sweat as he attempts to finish performing 300 pushups, while also wearing a 30lbs weighted vest and a 30lbs wrist & ankle weights.
This would normally be impossible for a four year old to do.
But he has one trick to make this possible.
"298... 299... 300. Pushups done. Now on to the next one."
He then proceeds towards performing 300 situps.
'Thank God for my third wish. If I haven't wished for this Heavenly Restriction, this would've been nearly impossible to do.'
A bit of a recap.
Less than a year ago, Toya discovered how to absorb Cursed Energy when he asked his mother what it is.
She then revealed it in a demonstration by using her Cursed Flames, despite Toya's disagreement.
But because of her performance, he learned what Cursed Energy looks and feels like.
It was a difficult journey for our MC, but after a long time and numerous trial and errors, he figured out how to absorb Cursed Energy.
Some of the clan members were quite surprise in his slowly increasing Cursed Energy reserves which was already at the level of a Grade One Sorcerer, but they just chalked it off as Toya having good Zenin genes or something similar to those words.
As Toya was performing 300 situps, his mind wandered on other things.
'Only a year left before my Cursed Technique would emerge. I wonder how the other clan members would react? Nah, it doesn't matter what they think. They can kiss the ground I walk on for all I care. Anyway, I've started using my Cursed Energy to enhance my physical capabilities, but I still haven't figured out how to empty my reserves to gain an untraceable superhuman body. But I'm startimb to feel that I'm very close.'
He thought carefully as he continued with his workout.

Time Skip: Another 30 Minutes Later

6:00 AM.
Toya sat on a nearby bench as he finished his workout.
"Phew! That was easier than yesterday. I guess it's time to increase the difficulty again. Should I quadruple the workout or should I double the weight again?"
He said casually as if he didn't did a very difficult workout.
As he finished drinking from his water bottle, he then stood up and approached a nearby boulder, stopping in front of it.
Toya clenched his hand as a bluish aura emits from his fist.
He then quickly punched the boulder in front of him.
*BOOM*
The boulder was instantly turned into rubble.
Toya then looked behind the rubble and saw various boulders that had different results but has suffered the same fate.
He looked at his fist that was unscathed from his actions.
"Hmm. Not enough. I need my hits to be able to crush my targets into a fine powder. Looks like I'm adding more weights and add a new exercise."
As he said that, he hear footsteps from behind him.
"Toya-sama, Ogi-sama will arrived soon for your swordsmanship training."
A random servant said.
"Hmmm, looks like break time will be short today. Okay, get him over here."
Toya said as he put down his water bottle as he waited on the bench.
A few minutes later, the servant arrived along with Zenin Ogi.
Toya stood up as he said.
"Took you long enough. Having trouble getting up from bed, Ogeezer?"
Ogi was visibly annoyed from Toya's remarks.
"Disrespectful as always brat. It seems that I have to discipline you today as well. Prepare yourself, we're going to the Pit."
Toya just rolled his eyes.
'Old geezer, that's I want for you to do to me. Besides, I have my reasons for pissing you off all the time. Soon enough, I'll get what I want.'
Toya then went to pick up two Shinais (bamboo practice swords) and spoke.
"Well? What are we waiting for? Let's gets this shit over with."
He threw one at Ogi who caught it effortlessly and they both went to a certain area.

Hello readers.
If you are reading this, then I am not dead and long time no see.
It's been like a month since I've uploaded a chapter in this fanfic.
I really apologize for not doing so, but I've been busy with life at the moment trying to survive prison, also known as college.
I hope you all understand, especially my fellow college students out there.
Once again, I apologize for the inconvenience and for those who still stick around, I'm super grateful.
Thank you everybody and see you later!
