It was about 3 p.m. when her lecture ended and Swara decided that everybody would log out to have lunch.
Gagan had no qualms with it, as he was rather hungry himself. About Himanshu, well, not only did he have some office work to do, but also, after he had been completely treated like a child, in front of the new girls, where he did not get to say a single word, he was not really in the mood to be in front of them. Besides, even if he wanted to, only fools repeat their mistakes and he was, under no conditions, a fool.
They decided to eat a simple dish of salmon and some green vegetables.
Lunch went on quietly, since it was one of the few rules of the mansion to eat your food without making any noise.
After lunch, Himu went to his office in one of their company's original self-driving nuclear powered cars.
Swara said that she had nothing important to do, so she went back to play the game.
Gagan went for a light jog up till Himu's office, which was 5 km away from their mansion, including the distance from the mansion to the estate's gates.
Every time he would step out of the estate for one of his jogs, he would always look everywhere and have only one thought, {No truck-kun. No truck-kun. No truck-kun. Safe.}
He would make sure to slow down at corners, avoid roads where children were crossing the roads, which frankly didn't happen, since even they had a personal vehicle these days, but he was still careful, also taking caution that there were no too fast vehicles within a 50 meter range.
This was the fear ingrained in him by Swara and Himanshu, who had made him watch 'Isekai' with them sometimes, and they would always mention a truck-kun, and after having watched a movie where cars and trucks were sentient, he was afraid.
Afraid that somewhere, somehow, a truck was watching him. Ready to hit him when he would lower his guard.
He was home at almost 4:15 p.m. Ready to hit the gym in 15 minutes.
It was at one of the corners of the rectangular estate, with only three entrances, two outside, for the customers and one inside, for Gagan and the other staff.
He decided to not do much, since he had already done his exercise in the morning, so he only did some 40 push-ups per minute for 15 minutes, and then did some squats for another 15 minutes.
After which, gym members started coming through the front doors, since it was almost time for the 5:15 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. men's session, where he would give pointers to others himself and watch professionals at work, hoping that he would be able to persuade his stickman of a brother to have a muscular body.
After almost an hour of roaming through the huge gym, talking with people and looking at them doing various gym activities, he reached one of the more lean ones.
His name was Kanna, he had adjustable dumbbells of 25 kg in both his hands, it had been about a month since he had joined the place, but everybody already called him Chhotu¹, since he was the youngest and the shortest of all the hundred people present there.
The gym was so big, that even after accommodating so many people, it still looked like a fourth of it was empty.
"Yo, Gangsta bro. What's up? Still as ripped as always, huh? I think I'm doing something wrong here, help me with these please." Kanna requested.
"Yo, Chhotu. Sure, I'll help you." Gagan said, Kanna was holding the dumbbells wrong and he would somehow move his wrist more than needed to.
Honestly, Gagan wasn't sure how he got the 'Gangsta bro' nickname. Though it was definitely after he told one of them about a time a mugger held a knife in front of him and Swara, that wasn't much, but he tried to touch his sister, so he went into a coma by a 'slip' of Gagan's hands.
"By the way, I heard you're also in the Etom Empire in the new game Axonian Adventures. When are you starting our guild?" Kanna asked, while doing as Gagan told him to.
"Wait, does everybody know that? What do you mean by also? And, our guild?" Gagan was very confused.
"Yeah, I'm also there in a town called Helbens, and yes, everybody knows, since even before I came. They themselves decided to choose the same starting point, Etom Empire, since they wanted to see you fighting live with their own eyes, and there was a rumour that you would make a guild Gangsta Boys soon. Everybody will be invited to it."
Gagan just stared at him dumbly. He was... flabbergasted, to say the least. He did not think that so many people would want to follow him and see him in a fight, and that they even had a name for the imaginary guild.
{Good thing I didn't mention the National Taekwondo Championship, they would probably want to watch it. I don't want that. These people know nothing about Taekwondo, they would probably think that I was too strong for my opponent to handle.}
That is because his opponent surrendered after he was hit once.
This was one of the very few times when he was not in combat and Gagan's brain accurately anticipated the outcome of doing something.
