Heavy Training

After taking a light shower to remove any dirt he had, Arthur got out of the bath and stood looking at himself in the bathroom mirror. His body was completely different from what it was before.

What used to be a little fat on his arm has now become a toned and firm bicep, his triceps was defined as if he had been sculpted. His plump abdomen has become an incredible perfect 8-pack. His legs and back were also muscular and defined. There was also a certain organ that experienced a clear growth, but that is a subject for another story. Of course, all of this was compressed into a 'thin' body of a 15-year-old teenager, so it wasn't giant muscles.

He soon put on his exercise clothes and quietly left the room, without disturbing Thomas, who was still asleep. He was also carrying a set of extra clothes, hat and mask in the bag on his back.

***

Just as promised, at 5:10 am Arthur was in the park to start the exercises, and Silva was already there when he arrived. He left the bag of clothes in the tent and approached Silva.

"Very well, boy! Extremely punctual. Now, without delay, let's start!" Silva was speaking in a lively and happy voice, as if he were waiting for that day.

"Okay. How's that going to work? You tell me what to do and I do it?" Arthur asked as he warmed up slightly.

"Yes, just like that. We will train every day of the week, with the exception of Sunday, since the stand will not be working. So, the training will be like this:"

Monday, Wednesday and Friday: Strengthening the Body

Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday: Control of the Body and Aid in the Regenerative Process of Muscles.

"Now, let's start. First: 20km race!" Silva spoke in a slightly more severe voice.

"Okay, very ligh-" But, before Arthur could finish, Silva spoke in a sinister voice.

"It will be completed in 20 minutes! Come on, get started!" Silva then blew out a whistle and started making noise so that Arthur could start soon.

"Ok, ok! I'll be right away!" As soon as he activated the system's 'Training' mode, Arthur started running.

So Arthur's morning training journey began.

The 20km race was practically hellish, especially in the final kilometers. Arthur thought it would be easy to deal with the gravity following 5G, but he made a very bad mistake in those thoughts. Each forced step was an excruciating pain, and he forced himself further and further, destroying his body as he worked to regenerate and become stronger on impact.

Following an intuitive process, a 4x stronger body than normal can handle up to 4x gravity with a certain amount of effort. In the previous training, Arthur reached 5G (gravity) with all his willpower. But now, while he was 8x stronger than normal, the gravity he had to deal with in the end was 10G, something much bigger than his body could handle.

Thanks to this, his body was in a complete state of alert and doing everything, literally, so that he could survive. His passive 'Celestial Bronze Body' and 'Pure Blood' abilities began to take effect and pull stored energy so that they could strengthen the body.

Each push-up, abdominal, squat, and even vertical bars, constantly destroyed Arthur's body while he struggled to survive.

The only thought in Arthur's mind was, 'That old man is crazy!'

Silva, who watched him train, pulled his body to the limits, almost approaching death. If Arthur tried to take it easy, Silva immediately made him do more exercises as compensation, at a rate of 1: 5.

More and more Arthur's body strengthened, and his skills constantly operated, making his body better. The 'Pure Blood' ability constantly carried oxygen to Arthur's muscles, so there was nothing to harm or cause muscle damage. His 'Celestial Bronze Body' toned the body and, as it was in the initial phase, it was making his skin firmer and harder, as well as flexible to the touch and soft.

The 'Celestial Bronze Body' ability can be divided into six levels of strengthening: Skin, muscles, tendons, bones and organs. Each completed step would mean making that body part like Celestial Bronze.

As soon as the exercises were over and Arthur turned off the 'Training' mode, some notifications appeared in front of him.

˂Congratulations !! Training Completed Successfully! ˃

...

...

Leaving to give importance to the notifications later, the Gluttonous Monster woke up in Arthur again and he ate an extra stock that Silva brought, but much bigger and with more stuff, to fit his caloric expenditure. Arthur also took a hidden Stamina Potion, so he wouldn't feel tired afterwards.

His training ended at 7:00, while the tent would start operating at 8:30.

Throwing his completely dirty clothes in a plastic bag, Arthur took a shower in the park's public bathroom, working and clean thanks to Silva's maintenance. After putting on his extra clothes, Arthur finally came out of the bathroom in a black casual T-shirt, which was now tight due to the development of muscles, a black jogger pants and on his feet was a gray Supra Skytop. He had his mask and hat hanging from his left hand, while the bag with sweaty clothes was in his right hand.

As soon as he arrived at the stall, Silva began to instruct him on how to prepare the ingredients, sauces and meats before the stall officially opened. Silva was wearing a kitchen hat, gloves and a regular mask. Arthur was wearing his black hat, but his brim was turned back, and his black mask. His bright green eyes were able to stand out enormously in all that darkness.

Even though he got the hang of it very quickly, they still spent 1 hour to prepare everything. After waiting a while, the time to open the tent finally arrived.

Arthur took advantage of the lack of movement in the beginning and placed the chairs and tables in front of the tent. After entering the tent again, Arthur changed the gloves he had used during the morning and put on new ones, as well as a white apron.

Now that everything was ready, Arthur thought he would have to wait a long time before the movement started, but soon a few hurried steps started to come from everywhere around the tent.

Thinking about what might be happening, Arthur looked out of the tent when he saw a shocking scene.

People in suits, social clothes, others in sports clothes, and many other people started approaching the tent in a visible hurry.

Shocked by what was happening, only one thought passed through Arthur's mind: 'What the hell is going on !?'
