After a Month

"Great , I thought that as a basketball enthusiast, my status might not even be qualified as a semiprofessional but it seems that insisting on being fit for 3 years has done me good."

Dante sighed in relief as he watched his status. Now there was almost 2 months left until the start of the NBA season. He just needs to plan properly how to exercise properly in order to get a place in the NBA.

What he basically needs to work on now is his Strength, Stamina and Constitution. Hopefully he can increase his weight by 5 kilograms making it 95 kilograms in two months. That amount of weight should be ideal for him now, making him not lose his Speed in the process.

Since Dante is sure that his breakup with Taylor Swift will definitely be announced soon, coupled with the release of the MV of her new single, Her management will definitely not lose this opportunity for hype.

So Dante plans to lie low during these two months. Since he usually prefers to stay at home, this arrangement basically doesn't have much impact on him.

With Happy thoughts about his future Dante continued shooting the ball but this time instead of wildly shooting, his movements became more systematic. As for the proper training it can start tomorrow. Saitama-sensei training style!

The last month of training has not been easy for Dante, especially for the first 10 days. 100 pushups, 100 sit ups, 100 squats and a 10KM run everyday plus a 100 lateral movement on the court after the 5th day when his body has basically adapted to the training.

The only reason Dante can persevere through the training is because when after a week of training he got so curious about the must hit shot that he really had to try it. Dante tested whether the ball will still go in the hoop even if his back was to the basket and shot.

He first tried it outside the three point line as a test and what do you know, he only heard a "swoosh" sound and he already knew without looking at the system that the ball went inside the hoop and scored.

Feeling excited, He tried it again at half court. Sadly, this time he did not hear the beautiful "swoosh" sound and seeing that the must score shots went down by another one, so he got anxious, thinking that the system is a fake product.

Fortunately, he calmed down and analyzed it properly, he came to the conclusion that the ball didn't even get close to the basket. It just fell around the free throw line. So the only reason the ball did not go in is because his strength didn't allow it.

He was literally blocked by his own incompetence! Dante laughed self deprecatingly to himself. This was the reason he persevered until now.

The first month of training is done and Dante decided to take a break for two days. Just enough time for him to rest and contact some teams for trial training.

Dante's prediction was basically right about Taylor Swift's management. They used their breakup as hype after the MV was released making the video go viral faster paving the way for the album release on December.

When asked what was the reason for the breakup, they just said that it was a mutual thing.

As expected, Dante instantly became famous overnight making his phone ring all the time, It's a good thing no one else knows his address and when he registered at the basketball gym he used a fake name and he always had his red hoodie covering his head, He must admit that doing so was a bit shady but it was not a problem that a few bucks couldn't fix.

Since Dante was still immersed in training at the time and he was too tired to deal with other things so he opted to turn off his phone till things died down a little.

Unfortunately, even after a month things still did not die down and with him hiding from everyone, they just became even more curious about him.

This time at night, Dante opted to go to a bar to get a feel for the outside world after a month of basically not going outside, He decided that it was time to reward himself with a drink.

Dante was dressed in his usual attire a blue T-shirt with a red hoodie and since it was getting cold this time of year, it covered by a dark leather tail coat with blue jeans and dark brown boots.

Just as Dante was searching for a bar to go to, he could already hear the song Love Story playing. So without thinking about it he went to the sound of playing.

He was surprised to find a nightclub there and it was playing the song Love Story. Since he can get a drink either at a bar or a nightclub anyway so he just went inside.

As for him being 18 years old and basically illegal for the bouncers at the door to let him in, It was easy to get pass them with his high IQ.

That's right, giving them a few bucks will make them turn their head away. So Dante swaggered inside the nightclub unabated.

As expected of a nightclub it was a bit dark inside making it hard for unfamiliar people to identify each other, of course since its a night club there must be people dancing on the dancefloor.

By the time Dante sat down by the counter to order a drink the song Love Story just ended making way for other loud music which is the norm in nightclubs.
