章節 21: Their Choice (2)

[Keep up your training routine to increase the Points you've earned]

'Great. I just realized my stamina points are pretty high. Thank you, System. For the first time, Kein was grateful for something of unknown origin.

[You still haven't completed the daily mission. There will be a significant reduction if you are lazy to train your body.]

'Come on. Can't I just skip a day? I'm pretty exhausted today and haven't been following weight training. Suddenly his face complained. His voice was so loud that the people around him immediately turned to look at him.

"What's the matter, Kein? Thinking of something complicated?"

"What? I'm sorry, my face shows too much of my head, right? Hahaha. It's okay."

Then they returned to their original place, stepping on the same ground as they were given directions by the coach. From the coach's point of view, some of them are still able to continue training sessions when the sun goes down. But also not a few protege who began to run out of breath and look pale.

As an athlete, each coach's training method must be different, as well as the results obtained. Although some of his proteges looked like undead, there was no mercy for them to immediately take a break in the room. But Coach Marlon decided to give them at least thirty minutes to rest the body.

Not too long but not too fast either. This needs to be done so that their bodies are not stiff after strenuous activity and their muscles are not injured because of pressing loads that are above the ability of each individual.

"Thirty minutes from now we will meet again at the gymnasium. I don't want anyone to escape after this, or you will receive a much harsher punishment than what you did from today. You understand me?!"Coach Marlon raised his voice, to seem threatening.

"Yes, Coach!"

Instantly they showed the spirit that had faded when they decided to leave this training and choose to rest to prepare for training the next day.

Coach Marlon left the field first, followed by Sherla who also followed with a fast pace. The girl feels uncomfortable when some of them continue to stare at her, including Damian and Kein. Even so, only their gazes were fixed on Sherla simultaneously, whether it was a coincidence or not.

The contents of their heads have nothing to do with something 'naughty', when they are preoccupied by their own thoughts. Damian can't stop imagining what happens when he gets loose and starts an argument with the coach and has to eat one of the victims. His image is like a video game he plays, live in glory or die avoiding slavery.

On the other hand, when his friend was processing his thoughts to calm down, Kein focused on what was in front of him. A screen that constantly shows what the owner of the body is striving for or avoiding.

[Warning! You haven't finished your day job.]

[Do squad for 40 repetitions]

[Do push-ups ups with your feet on a chair for 30 reps]

[Do sit up for 50 repetitions]

'What? Push up legs on a chair?! Damn, I did that when I first got into the Academy. You know what I do? True, I didn't even complete the specified target and every repetition was invalid. You want to kill me or what?'

[…]

That's all that appears on the screen, nothing more and nothing less. Kein spontaneously moved like hitting the person in front of him. But what he felt was very empty and hollow. Even so, the 'system' screen disappears by itself and does not answer the complaints of the owner of a body that is almost exhausted.

'Fuck! What am I supposed to do now? My body is completely exhausted and there are still extra workouts after this.'

Kein let out a long sigh, deciding to sit on the grass while looking at the twilight sky that would briefly be shrouded in darkness. Her hair is messy and itchy. She wanted to take a shower as soon as possible but it would repeat the same activity one to two hours later. Although he had suspected that the athlete's activities and training were indeed quite terrible, Kein did not expect himself to be this tired for the first time.

Indeed, athletic training like this is rarely done himself when Kein always balancing between cardio and weight lifting. Although both need to be balanced to be a perfect athlete, but the shortcomings are inconsistent.

"Why are you still here? To keep me company? I don't have to."Kein was surprised when Damian suddenly slandered him as if what he was doing was just enjoying the afternoon breeze while remembering the first time he decided on a career as a basketball player.

"Accompany? You? I didn't even realize you were here. Then why is your face pale? Tired of being a loser? I feel sorry for you, haha."

At that moment, Damian threw a right-footed shot towards Kein. Lucky to still avoid that or the fight will call back his teammates who have already left them and headed for their respective resting places.

Then they do a chase action when one of them does not accept the words of his friend, although it goes a little towards the painful fact.

***

It didn't feel like thirty minutes had gone by. The basketball division players began to walk to the gymnasium which is located not far from the basketball building. Their faces are getting better and do not look exhausted enough. Entering the gymnasium laughing at each other and seeing many users of the place they did not expect.

Gilbert did not expect that the football division also used the gymnasium at the same hours and days. Even so, it will not interfere with the training of the two divisions because the place is indeed designed for all divisions and has the same and different equipment.

But the problem is that the football division and the basketball division had problems because both argued that their division was the best and would not give up at any time.
