Physical Strength Less Than 1000 Points
Chapter 14- Physical Strength Less Than 1000 Points
The next morning, Hassam woke up under the sunlight streaming through the windows, surrounded by a sense of anxiety and tension. While having breakfast with Ivan and Mirai, a mixture of fear and curiosity filled their hearts due to what had happened in the forest.
"What do you think about returning to the forest?" Hassam asked quietly, trying to break the silence that had settled over the table.
"We won't go back until we are fully prepared," Ivan replied, taking a bite of bread.
Mirai spoke up: "Maybe we should talk to the teachers about what we saw. They might have additional information or warnings."
After breakfast, they decided to go and talk to their teachers in the temple. Upon arriving, they found Master Leo, the teacher in charge of practical tests, sitting at his desk surrounded by old books. He seemed busy studying a magical spell.
"Hello, my friends! How was your training?" Master Leo said with a smile.
"We need to talk about the forest," Hassam began without preamble.
After explaining what they had witnessed, Master Leo became serious and understood the gravity of the matter. "The forest you visited is not an ordinary place. There are mysterious forces and different realms that intersect there. There might be dark creatures or even ancient magic residing within it."
"Do you have any advice for us?" Ivan asked anxiously.
"The most important thing is to learn how to use your mana effectively. You need to train to face dark creatures, and you must be very careful," the master replied.
Master Leo informed them that a test would be conducted soon, so he advised them to prepare well for it. Time passed, and the three of them continued with their activities.
Each person went to their specialized training area, agreeing to meet after finishing. Ivan and Mirai headed to the mana control room, while Hassam went to the physical training room.
"I need to focus on my body. I've neglected my physical abilities, relying only on my magic."
Hassam sighed and entered the training room, determined to achieve a balance between his physical strength and his spiritual power. He knew that if his spirit was strong but his body was weak, he wouldn't be able to handle it and would collapse under its pressure.
And so the time passed, with Hassam training.
One day!
Two days!
Three days!
...
A month later!
Hassam emerged from the training room, drenched in sweat. He looked at himself in the mirror and began speaking: "Wow, I didn't think just a month of training would improve my body this much!"
Hassam marveled at the results he had achieved, realizing that if he had started training earlier in his original world, he would have achieved far greater accomplishments.
He continued to gaze at his body before heading to a room adjacent to the physical training area, where the purity of one's body strength was tested. He entered the room and approached one of the workers.
"I want to test my physical strength," Hassam said excitedly.
"Of course, let me take you to the body testing room," the worker replied.
Inside the room, there was a large stone of blue color, resembling the clear sky on a sunny morning.
"This stone is the Body Stone. It is a treasure discovered by the founder of the temple. It allows you to test the purity of your punch, and it will give an approximate number that classifies as follows: from 0 to 1000, ordinary physical strength; from 1000 to 10000, moderate physical strength; and from 10000 to 100000, superior physical strength," the worker explained.
"Well, this is really something! But I feel like I've seen something like this before. Never mind, what should I do?" Hassam asked with curiosity.
"All you have to do is punch with all your strength, and let me remind you again: don't use magic in your attack," the worker warned.
"I understand." Hassam nodded, preparing to start.
Boom!
Hassam punched the stone with all his might, and a notification sound rang out as numbers began to appear on the surface of the stone.
[750 Points]
"Only?" Hassam grumbled.
"Congratulations, little friend. You have a physical strength comparable to that of an ordinary body. This is actually quite good, right? ... Uh, well, this doesn't matter. You still have a long way to go. You can train more and come back for another test," the worker stammered, leaving, as he had never seen anyone in the temple with physical strength lower than 1000 points.
Hassam left the room, disappointed with the results he had gotten, but he didn't despair. He felt that this beginning was just a motivation to continue on his path.
"Don't let this discourage you. Let's keep training our bodies every day until we feel exhausted!" Hassam decided.
And so, Hassam continued his training tirelessly, determined to achieve the perfect body he had always dreamed of. Over time, Hassam began to feel noticeable changes in his physical strength, and his improvements began to draw attention from his peers at the temple.
Mirai and Ivan started following Hassam's lead, which motivated them to improve their own physical abilities as well, creating a positive competitive atmosphere among them.
One day, they decided to meet in the training square, where they exchanged challenges and training routines. They became like a family, supporting each other and encouraging each other to achieve their goals.
As the physical strength test approached, Hassam's anxiety grew, but he remembered all the effort he had put in and insisted that he wouldn't let anxiety control him. He looked out into the horizon, envisioning his strength, tightening his resolve and his desire to become stronger.
