Location : Paradise Sports Center, Diamond Member's Training Area
After introducing the equipment to Marcus, the receptionist went back to her desk. As there were only a few Diamond Level Members, the training area was mostly vacant.
Marcus decided to start his training. So, first he went over to the treadmill and started running. As he was still not used to Leo's body, his stamina got drained too quick. But he restarted after resting for a couple of minutes. He continued this for an hour and the time he rested gradually became less.
Then he started doing push-ups, pull-ups, crunches. Everything was really hard in the beginning but it all got better within a couple of minutes of working them out.
Slowly he moved to weight lifting. Although he started at 100 Lbs., he continued to raise it to unto 300 Lbs. He was sweating and panting like heavy when he started his training but he felt that his body was getting used to the change. He was astonished at the discovery that although Leo's body had never exercised before, Marcus' soul had somehow enhanced his body to absorb the training method very quickly.
He wanted to try his meditation technique only after a week of training Leo's body, because the meditation technique caused heavy burden to the body and required lots of stamina. But after this discovery, Marcus decided to test the breathing technique. This meditation technique was called 'Devil's Breath' which was a heavenly technique that could help not only the body, but it could enhance the five senses to it's peak. The negative was that it can put the body through real strain which could even harm the body if the trainee was not careful.
The training was separated into two parts. The first part is meditation in extreme heat, while the second part is meditation in extreme cold. This meditation technique is one of the top-secret techniques of Royal family of Albion. The Devil's Breath is the main reason he chose 'Paradise Sports Center' as his training center as the place facilitates both advanced Hot Sauna, Cold Sauna.
Marcus walked into the hot sauna and turned up the heat to low. Then he sat cross-legged on the floor, closed his eyes and started the special meditation. After doing it for half an hour he felt that his body was able to take on the heat, he decided to increase the heat to medium.
He did meditate for another hour and he was able to feel the pores in his body opening. He was sweating too much and his body started to flush out a stinking fluid from the pores in his skin. It was the way of pouring out the excessive fat in the body.
He decided to move to the cold sauna and repeat the meditation. Once he felt that all the pores that flushed out the fatty fluids had closed he left the cold sauna. Although extreme cold conditions become heavy after meditating in extreme heat, it was like hitting the iron while it's hot and then dipping in cold water to temper it.
He was really tired and hungry after the strain-full meditation and he was stinking from the body fluids that poured out earlier, so he showered before walking to the canteen.

Location : Paradise Sports Center, Canteen.
The canteen had a long queue. Unlike having different training arena, there was only one canteen. Marcus stood on the line and checked the menu. It had different nutritious foods that ranges from 50 credits all the way to 1500 credits. The members can buy 1 credit at the cost of $5.
He waited till his turn to order sumptuous meals with a total of 800 credits. Marcus noticed people staring at him for ordering so much food and especially someone spending 800 credits was obviously some rich kid trying to show-off. They watched as he swiped his Diamond Card which amused many.
He ignored all the gazes as he found himself a corner and sat on the chair. He started gobbling the food.
'This is delicious and healthy. Now that is a combination I love' He thought as he continued to swallow the food. He had expended too much stamina and he sensed that the food was actually helping him regain the stamina.
"I never thought, I would see you hear fatso" While Marcus was on a mission to finish all the food, he heard a male voice from behind. He turned back to find a guy in his late teens smirking at him. The guy had long wavy hair and was bit tall and thin. He had dark long face and brown eyes.
Marcus had some memories of this bully, that made Leo's school life filled with struggles. His name was Raymond Washington a.k.a. Ray. The sole heir to the millionaire President of W Gaming Industry. Raymond had a guy with him who looked like his lackey. But unfortunately for him he was dealing with Marcus.
"Well, I never thought I would you meet you here either Sh*thead" Marcus replied indifferently as he finished up his meal.
"What did you call me, bastard?" Ray hit both his hands heavily on the table which made the leftover dishes vibrate and fall down. They became the focus of attention of the people around the cafeteria.
But Marcus did not give an expression. He slowly got up and walked towards the washroom without another word. But the guy beside Ray blocked Marcus' path.
"Ray asked you a questing fat pig." He said as he put a hand on Marcus' shoulder.
Marcus was indifferent as he grabbed the guy's hand and squeezed it before forcing the guy's hands back. The guy's mocking expression changed to pain. He started screaming. Marcus pushed the guy down with ease, then turned to the surprised Ray.
"I don't care who you are. If you try to find trouble one more time, I would not hesitate to make you cry back to your Daddy." Marcus said and walked to washroom as every eyes all around the cafeteria including that of the shocked Ray's, was on his back. He walked away without any remorse or expression
'I hope he get the meaning and stay away' Marcus thought as exited the Training center
