It was dark when I had left the Hyoksi Chambers. Around 8 o'clock is what I thought the time was since I did not have a watch.
The Hyoksi Chamber was incredible. The Hyoksi in my body had increase nearly by double. My body was feeling more powerful. I had that feeling that you get when you leave the gym after lifting. I kept touching my muscles as I felt happy just touching them. They had grown stronger and were more solid than before.
I went to the nearest corner shop and bought a load of candy and sweets. I had three hundred dollars worth of sweets. It was quite a lot. I had gotten a lot of variety. I also added liquorice as I did not know if there was someone who might like it.
I carried two heavy thick bags filled with candy when I stepped into a shop that sold woman's wear. The floor was made out of marble and white as snow. So were the walls. I recieved several glares from the woman who were shopping there.
I looked like a homeless man. My clothes were dirty as it was soaked in sweat. The stench emanating from my body was disturbing. I could tell because several woman held their noses.
"Get out, you homeless bum." a woman said to me. She was a worker here as I could tell from her clothes.
"Why should I?" I asked. "I am here to buy some clothes."
"You? Buy some clothes? I don't think you know where this even is? This is luxury wear. Clothes here cost over a thousand dollars. And this is a woman's store."
I pulled my hair backwards wiping it. The sweat falling to the ground seemed to piss of the store worker. "You! Get out!" she said to me.
"No, I'm not going to. I'm here to buy clothes and that is what I will do."
"If you do not leave now I'll have to call security."
"And I will call your manager." I felt like a Karen for saying such a thing but I had no choice. I did not need this skinny loud mouthed bitch on my ass.
"I am the manager." she said.
"No your not,"
"I am not going to argue with you. Get out of this store. Your rancid stench is making the other customers uncomfortable."
This lady... should I kill her? No, I have got to keep these small urges under control.
"I want to speak to the manager." I said. "And don't say that you are the manager. No manager would talk to a potential customer like that and also a manager doesn't wear a name tag that says customer assistant."
The lady didn't know what to say. She grabbed her name tag and took it of.
"You can either leave me alone so that I can shop in peace or I can call the manager and complain about you. Choice is yours." I left the rude skinny woman and walked around for a bit cheking out dresses.
I finally picked out three beautiful dresses ,three pair of shoes, 3 necklaces and 3 perfumes. I went to the counter. The total sum came out to be 9,000 dollars. I paid for it with cash and I smirked as I saw the skinny store assistant's mouth form into an O.
I left the store and went back to the orphanage. I was just in time for dinner. I placed the candy bags down in Mother Rachael's room. I then placed a dress, shoes, necklace and a perfume in each of the three mothers room. I then went downstairs and sat down to eat with the everyone else.
"Bwother Damien, we behaved today, can I have some sweets?"
"Can I have some to?"
"And me?"
"Can I get some candy as well?"
"Please me too?"
I shook my head which disappointed the kids. "It is night time, you can't eat any candy now but you can eat it tomorrow."
I ate my dinner with the family and went to sleep.

The next morning I left early and headed straight for the Hyoksi chambers. It was a simple way of gaining strength by removing all the Hyoksi in your body and then absorbing it making your body stronger. It would destroy your muscles and stretch them out. It was the most efficient training method.
The receptionist was surprised to see me but she did not ask to many questions. I paid for the room and returned to training.
I continued like this for the next 3 days. It had been 5 days since I was released from the academy on suspension and I had reached such heights. My body was stronger. It was faster and my healing factor was more efficient as it leveled up again. I could feel that it had leveled up. This was good news.
I had managed to build a stronger body. I had gained some mass and some muscles but not too much. Just enough for people to think that I had been eating well. My biceps and triceps were bigger as well.
My gigantification ability had also grown. I could maintain my gigantified body for longer and move around more easily. It felt like I was back in my old body.
The Hyoksi in my body had reached 7 times the amount I had when I was suspended from school. The speed at which I had increased my Hyoksi was insane but the amount of Hyoksi I had was pathetic compared to an average experienced fighter. Despite that I was still not mad. Sturdy and steady may not win the race but it crossed the finish line safely eventually.
I was not in a race against time. My Hyoksi level was somewhere around the level of an average second year student.
My strength, speed, durability, stamina and other physical abilities had increased immensely. I was proud of myself for these results. This feeling of satisfaction was enough to make me smile happily. These last couple of days had passed by quickly. It was peaceful and enjoyable. I would spend all day training and finally come home late in the evening. I would then eat, sleep, wake up and die the same thing all over again.
Tomorrow I was going to go an expedition so that I could gain battle experience. I was going to need such things but before that I needed some potions, which was why I was in front of an alchemy shop.
