Yawnnnnn!
Asura was woken up by the alarm from the mobile. He reached out his hand towards the phone and switched off the alarm. He looked at the window and saw it was still dark outside, even though it was a little over 6:00 am. Due to winter, the outside was still foggy.
Asura went to the bathroom and completed the morning ablutions, then changed into track pants and jogging shoes and walked out of the room. Even though he slept very little the last night, due to the soul power, he felt active and strong. Asura made his way downstairs and went out of the boarding house.
As Asura stepped out, he was assaulted by the morning chill. It was foggy and cold outside, but not enough to obscure anyone's vision. He then made his towards the sidewalk and started to slowly jog around the block. The cold air and the heat from his body made him feel refreshed, the reason he is not feeling so cold was due to those mystical runes that changed his body's constitution and every part of his body seemed to have gone through an upgrade.
Even after speed jogging for over half an hour, his body was just warming up and he didn't feel out of breath or tired. If it was before, he wouldn't be tired too, but he would be sweating and his muscles would start to ache in pain with continuous jogging.
The difference from yesterday to today is like the difference between a normal person and a national athlete.
Asura was feeling very excited as he jogged through streets upon streets without feeling much tired. His excitement was seen clearly on his face as he sped up the pace and he was running on the sidewalks and with each step, he increased his pace and with each step he gulped in huge amounts of air.
After reaching his maximum speed and running for over 200 meters, his breathing was becoming shallow and his muscles and lungs were burning. Just as he was about to stop, he thought of something.
'Should I use soul-power and try to see what kind of enhancement it gives to the body.'
Just as the thought occurred, Asura went on to try it out. Then, without reducing his running speed, he just took a huge gulp of air and mouthed "OM". The instant he utilized soul power and chanted OM, his mind became exceptionally clear and his thoughts sped up exponentially and his body-mind coordination became instantaneous. With this newfound power and clarity, his mind adjusted his breathing to match the running speed, causing both to be in harmony. His slowing and tired body felt as if it had received a boost and his body burst out with instantaneous speed.
Whoooooosh...
His legs traveled at such a speed that his body was forced against the air. In a second, he crossed 15 meters as if he had teleported and his eyes caught sight of a speeding dumpster. His eyes widened, all the body muscles tightened and, in the last second, his body turned slightly and then...
"BAAAAAAAAM"
"Cracckkkkkkkkkkk..."
Asura wasn't able to control his body at such high speeds and he majestically flew with such force that he went shoulder straight into the big plastic dumpster. The force of his body broke through it from one side and dragged it, knocking the other two dumpsters, causing them to spill out all the waste.
Luckily for him, he chose a secluded area to test his speed, or it would have been a disaster if he had knocked into a person. A few seconds later, Asura got back to his senses and he was instantly hit by the nauseating smell of waste and food assaulting his nose. He stopped the urge to puke and struggled to move out. He slowly stood up from the dumpster and tried to use soul power, but was met with a splitting headache.
"Ughhhh..."
The pain made him clutch his head and groan aloud, as he groggily held his head and was in a daze. A soft voice called out.
"Hey... Are you okay? "
"Huh" Asura's attention was finally attracted to the sound and he turned to check in a daze.
"Blerghhhhhh..."
As he turned around to see who it was, his stomach convulsed and he vomited his guts out onto the person standing in front of him. In the stunned silence of the area, only Asura's vomiting sound continued as the stranger standing in front of him stood in dumbfound silence looking at Asura vomiting on her.
The beautiful finally came to her senses and, with a shocked yelp, backed up in a swift motion. This time it was Asura's turn to be shocked as the lady receded a few meters as if she flew back. Asura finally came to his senses and squinted his eyes to look at the woman swatting at her dress trying to clean herself of the vomit. It was then he noticed the woman looked ethereal with a golden glow around her.
"Another lost soul?" Asura muttered in confusion as he finally came back to his senses.
"Hey, miss! I am sorry for that. Are you okay? " Asura asked her as he took a step towards her. Hearing his words, the lady raised her head and saw Asura coming towards her and if she saw a ghost, she turned around and ran away. Before Asura could even arrive at her position, she disappeared from her position. This time, Asura clearly saw she was gliding a few inches above the ground.
Looking at her fleeing like he was a ghost, Asura was speechless and then he looked at the mess he created and he too decided to slip away before anyone caught him. As for paying for the damage, there are too many dustbins lying around unused, so if one or two are damaged, nothing would happen. Thinking to himself he escaped well, Asura slowly made his way back to the boarding house.
But all along the way, everyone was avoiding him like a plague due to the smell of his body and clothes that were soaked in the waste he flew into. Embarrassed by the situation, Asura simply lowered his head down and made his way without looking at others.
After reaching the outside of the board, he took out his T-shirt and threw it into the dustbin and swiftly made his way into the boarding house under the curious gazes of people outside and the housemates who were looking at him weirdly from their balconies.
Some even whistled and said, "Bro, nice body you got there. Are you trying to show off this morning to the old people outside? " These comments were met with guffaws and laughter from others, causing Asura to be more embarrassed. He rapidly climbed up the steps before anyone came out to catch him and bombarded him with their weird questions.
"Click"
After unlocking the door to the room, he made his way into the bathroom and turned on the showerhead. In his haste, Asura forgot it was winter and ice cold water spurted out of the showerhead, falling on his body, causing his body to shiver.
"Fa... ffuck" Asura cussed while his body shivered. He then turned on the instant heater and hot water gushed out.
