{ CHAPTER - 41 } THE LAST DAY

"Huff... Puff... Huff... Puff... Phew!"

Karma's breathing gradually stabilized as a result of the demon's healing.

He laid down on his back, relaxed, and spread his arms across the floor in a wide-open position.

"That was... tough."

(But you did it).

As soon as his back touched the chilly floor, he felt alive once more. He was perspiring, which made it feel even colder.

"Oh right—"

He seemed to have something on his mind as he stood up and quickly dashed out the door.

"Wow... Would you look at that?"

His eyes were in awe at what they were observing. His day's worth of labor had finally borne fruit.

The guy in the mirror had a pretty ripped body, with a very well-built chest and strong-looking arms. His six-pack abs stood out from the rest of his body in particular.

"These are... so hard."

When he touched them, they felt like a rock. He could feel his inner strength. Even his legs had a lot of muscle.

"Ok... How about we... "

He was compelled to try out his new body because he felt the urge to. He took a jumping stance by bending his knees forward, and with some force, he propelled himself up.

!Baam!

"OUCH"

Even though he did not exert much force behind his legs, his head still struck the bathroom ceiling.

!Thud!

Hitting his head, he fell straight to the floor on his butt.

"Ouch, that's painful... Hmm... Wait a minute, it's not that painful."

While trying to ease his pain by stocking his head, he had an epiphany. It didn't hurt as bad as it ought to.

(Your body is strong, this amount of injury is nothing.)

The demon claimed that his body had grown strong enough to take minor wounds like this. No, he isn't even hurt by something like this.

"I see"

He took support from the sink, got to his feet, and took another look at the reflection in the mirror.

"I really can't believe that this is me. I look so different. "

He was carefully inspecting his body when an abrupt rumbling sound caused him to lose focus.

"I'm hungry again."

!Rumbles~!

"Time to eat, I guess."

It was still 8:00 pm. It wasn't the time people had dinner, but Karma was especially hungry.

This time, the menu wasn't any different either, but he didn't have the luxury. Only chicken, eggs, and vegetables were available to him.

However, for a few days, that was all he required.

The chicken he had purchased was almost gone when he opened his refrigerator. Even the eggs were almost finished.

"Probably one more day. I can survive one more day here."

As he was taking out the stuff, he mentioned to his demon, "Agastha, we will leave the day after tomorrow."

(Alright)

After saying that, he made himself dinner and once more ate it by himself at the dinner table. Though he was gradually getting over the loss of his parents, he still held himself partially responsible.

He only required a meal to restore the energy he had expended all day. He took his time and felt each bite of food.

He was finished with his meal and the dishes, so he didn't feel as worn out as most people would. He still had plenty of energy and would go on to run for miles.

(Now that you are done eating, how about we get on with the book?)

"Now?"

Holding the book in his hand, the demon walked close and said in a relaxing voice.

(Now would be a good time. For the next 4–5 hours, we will practice what's written here, and then you can have a rest, after which we will perform the regular training of 20,000 this time, and then again with this book one last time)

The demon built rest periods into his schedule so that he could train and learn the material in the book during the breaks. For the limited time they had left, he created the ideal schedule for Karma to follow.

"Ok"

They both jumped right into it without asking any more questions or wasting any more time.

Karma was shown a page from the book while Agastha was holding it. Karma adopted his stance following the writing and illustration in the book.

He stiffened his body and controlled his breathing while keeping his legs firmly planted on the ground and both hands held just above his chest.

He clenched his fist and gave the air a powerful punch, just as it was depicted in the book.

The demon, who was just a little to the side of the fist's trajectory, felt the atmosphere's air pressure change.

"Is this right?"

After Karma's performance, the demon was briefly rendered speechless. He was certain that if they continued to learn at this rate, they would comprehend at least half of the information in the book.

(Y—Yes, it's perfect. Let's move on to the next one)

"Ok"

They continued to punch and kick continuously, with perfect form, for the next few hours.

The fact that Karma is a natural genius ought not to need to be mentioned. And he is capable of doing this. He claimed that each form correction in the book required one to three tries.

The demon was astounded by his progress.

It was now time for him to give his body some rest after several hours of training. He fell asleep sometime around 2:00 AM.

This time, he refrained from requesting the demon's healing because he didn't want to waste it and because he didn't feel particularly exhausted.

The following morning, Karma awoke somewhat later than usual because he had slept somewhat later. Around noon and 2:00 PM, when he arrived at his regular training, he prepared his lunch.

This time, the numbers for each exercise were increased from 15,000 to 20,000, but he still completed them, and quite quickly at that.

Around 7:00 PM, he finished his workout and prepared his meal. Following that, both the demon and the human got the right to practice the book.

By the time they were done, several more hours had passed.

Karma slept for a total of 8 to 9 hours this time because he made sure to sleep as much as he could.

The morning arrived suddenly, and they had to leave the house.
