What a long day it was for the Beginner's class participants. The kids were worn out from learning so much from Mr. Modred's instruction.
The regimen that Scott and his companion set for themselves had to be continued. As they entered the school's gym, they noticed that it was furnished with a variety of exercise equipment.
To build their strength and strengthen their muscles, they started by lifting weights.
The first person to try was Logan, who lifted each weight one at a time.
It was decided to weigh 65 pounds.
Logan chose his position without grumbling and lifted the weight as if it were as simple as kicking a ball. He didn't utter a single groan. Scott and the others noticed this and realized Logan's physical strength couldn't be unmatched.
Victor was next. He chose his stance as well and paused before lifting the weight from the ground to his knee. He waited once more before lifting it from his knee to his shoulder after regaining some strength.
He then hoisted it above his head using all of his might. He merely lugged the weight about like a trained weight lifter.
Adrian reached for it and he brought it with him, but he failed in his first attempt before succeeding in the second.
Eunice also carried, although it was only fifty pounds because they were considerate of her status as a lady. Eunice held the weight with ease and joy on her face despite all obstacles.
The boys were dumbfounded and started to be afraid of her athletic prowess.
All of it came down to Scott. When it was finally his turn, he was fairly assured. He instructed them to estimate his cost at 70 pounds.
He attempted to carry it at first while assuming a very awkward stance. He lifted it for a second before dropping it.
His pals were making fun of him for his terrible attempt. He tried to carry the weight once more, gathering bravery and strength. He carried it for two seconds before conceding defeat, showing that this time it was better than the last.
"And you want to see the love of your life, but you can't carry this simple item", Logan continued. While the others were looking at him after he had processed that statement, Scott walked to the restroom.
He soon came out and attempted to carry the weight again.This time, every vein in his body was screaming for assistance as he carried it. He lifted the weight for around ten seconds before dropping it while his buddies applauded him.
He put it down, then proceeded to meet Logan and said, "I'll do just about anything for my love." Eunice's heart softened as she heard Scott say such kind words.
They spent the entire day in the gym experimenting with various pieces of apparatus, including barbells, body bars, kettlebells, resistance bands, TRX, sandbags, and other items.
Boxing was their final activity of the day. They made the decision to combat each other in practice rounds.
It was Logan vs Adrian for the first bout.
Victor served as the match's referee as he entered the ring. The match was started by his blowing his whistle.
Adrian came out swinging in the opening round, jabbing Logan in the body and landing three clean right hands to his chest and stomach, earning Adrian the round's victory.
In the second round, Adrian started firing off his own shots and drove Logan backwards as he tried to take control of the battle. Logan struck Adrian with a right hook to the temple near the conclusion of the third round, followed by a right uppercut in the clinch, which knocked Adrian to the ground. He managed to get to his feet and escaped the attack.
Logan attempted to apply more pressure to Adrian in the fourth round, but Adrian stunned him and knocked him down with a left jab followed by a straight right hand to the left temple.
Logan managed to stand up, but was sent down once more as Adrian struck him with a short right punch behind the ear.
The bell to conclude the round rang shortly after Logan beat the count once more. Adrian struck hard at Logan at the start of the fifth, but he was unable to connect with any significant strikes.
Rounds six, seven, eight, and nine saw Logan reassert himself and take control of the fight, out-striking Adrian and knocking him down with many powerful blows.
Logan delivered a second powerful right hand in round 10 that caused Adrian to go to the ground awkwardly. As the round came to a close, Adrian managed to get to his feet.
In the eleventh round, Logan increased his forward pressure and frequently wounded Adrian from a distance and in the clinch. Adrian fell to the ground after being struck by a clean right hand from Logan just over a minute into the fight.
The fight was promptly stopped by referee Victor, giving champion Logan a knockout victory.
Scott had no intention of engaging in combat with either monster after witnessing the fight, but he concealed his anxiety as he started making fun of Adrian.
Adrian simply stared at Scott in shock, knowing very well how frail he was. Scott jumped into Eunice's arms out of panic after Adrian feigned to strike him. Scott jumped out of Eunice's hands immediately after reading the situation and Adrian laughed at Scott's reaction.
The next match was scheduled right away, and it included Eunice and Scott. Both fictitious boxers entered the ring, with Scott advancing to every side.
Exercising, rotating his arms, and jabbing the air were all his superfluous activities. Victor started the fight once both boxers had taken their positions.
Eunice simply avoided the punch as Scott attacked without even observing his opponent's movement in return for an uppercut. Scott was able to travel to his utopia with just one jab.
In a matter of seconds, he was unconscious.
Adrian laughed at Scott and couldn't help but smile. But after that punch, Scott fell asleep soundly.
When Scott awoke, he discovered that Eunice was being escorted back to her dorm by the other lads while being carried like a kid on Logan's shoulders.
He took action fast, leaping out of Logan's grasp.
Until they arrived in their room, he remained silent.
