"Heyy Kenichi!" I greeted him with a smile.
Today was going to be our first day of training, me and Kenichi decided to meet up before the designated time and walk there together.
"Are you feeling better since yesterday?" I asked him after remembering how bloody his face was.
"Yes don't worry it barely hurt, and I'm pretty excited about getting trained by Miu hahaha" he replied excitedly. Kenichi was as cheerful as always, I should really try to learn from him.
"Yeah Miu is a strong girl." I agreed with him.
After walking for a bit we finally arrived to the park, Miu wasn't there so we thought of waiting for a bit since Miu wasn't anywhere to be seen.
"Hiyaa!" Suddenly out of nowhere Miu appeared out of seemingly nowhere she casually jumped on top of a wall like Chitoge did when I first met her.
Those 2 weren't human when it came to their agility, they both had some very impressive feats which made me think that Chitoge might also not be a simple girl, as excepted from the daughter of a gang leader, raku is just an exception for being so weak despite his origins.
"Hey Miu what will you teach us today?" Kenichi asked while warming up and doing a few random punch motions.
"Hmm we will start by a simple footwork technique" she said with a cheerful smile.
Right after she said those words she started showing us some weird motions with her hands while side stepping in some abnormal ways.
I looked at her attentively while trying to understand how that would actually work in a fight when suddenly a notification popped up in front of me.
[Side quest:
Learn basic footwork. (Difficulty D / duration: 7 days)
Description:
Learn the basic footwork technique Miu is teaching you in under 7 days.
Reward: Rank F Footwork skill]
For the first time I got the chance to obtain a skill by completing a quest. This was enough to give me all the motivation I needed.
I immediately tried to copy the footwork of Miu alongside Kenichi but it was way harder than it appeared. Miu kept correcting our stances and once we learned a bit more she asked us to try training in pair, so we did as she told us.
------
After 3 whole hours we were both already full of sweat, even with my 13 endurance which is the equivalent of a normal athlete I knew I couldn't go any further than 3 hours of training, it was just way too exhausting.
Kenichi was laying on the floor right next time me, after 2 hours he was already dead tired but still kept trying every 10 minutes after some rest. We both improved a not but we still knew we were very far from succeeding.
I asked Kenichi to go back home first because I wanted to stay a bit longer to rest and he did just that.
Right after he left I opened the system shop and checked how many Endurance amplifier were available.
[Shop:
Small Endurance amplifier: 5/15 available. Cost 5 coins.
Balance: 50 coins.]
It seems like the new system update gave me an added 5 endurance amplifiers in the shop.
I didn't want to waste any of my coins since my goal was still to get an E rank skill but I also knew that an F rank skill was too worth it to waste such an opportunity especially that this one had an amazing potential so I couldn't let it go.
After strengthening my resolve I decided to go for it and bought all 5 of the available endurance amplifiers then directly took them.
[Endurance 13 -> 18]
After the fresh feeling of taking the potion went away I could feel my whole body becoming lighter as if my fatigue have been taken away.
My endurance was now way past what any normal athlete can reach and was closer to the peak of what normal humans in my past life could achieve.
But I wouldn't dare say that it's anywhere near the peak of my current world after knowing how many monsters exist in this world.
Now that my body was feeling better I went ahead and trained for another hour and then chose to go back home before I tired myself too much.
---------
"Hey Shu it's been a while!" I greeted him with a smile
"Amon you're already back? are you feeling better?" He asked while still a bit worried, he knew that I initially was told that I would need 2 months to go back to my normal capabilities so he wasn't expecting me to look so healthy.
If only he knew that now I'm not only back to my normal condition but I've actually gotten way stronger.
After entering the class everyone greeted me and asked about what happened. My excuse was that I got attacked while trying to help someone, which actually wasn't a total lie since that's what happened with Miu.
I could see everyone's opinion of me rise, having everyone on your side is never a bad thing so I will gladly take their admiration.
Finally Raku and Chitoge entered the class along with Onodera and a new blue haired person that I didn't recognize at first.
After taking a closer look I was sure of it, it was none other than Tsugumi, the hitman raised by that shitty four eyes.
"Amon..." Chitoge faced me while looking down, her face was obviously filled with guilt.
"Don't worry ab-" I thought of simply saying I didn't mind it and that it wasn't her fault but right before I could speak a punch came right toward my face.
I managed to hardly escape it while at the same time slipping and falling on my butt. "Ugh" It wasn't the prettiest sight ever so I tried to act like it was because of my past injury and tried to dramatize it.
"How dare you make my young lady sad!" The person who threw the punch was none other than Tsugumi, luckily I was already on my guard against her because I knew Claude probably asked her to take care of me as well.
It seems like this time of the manga is when she already is on slightly better terms with Raku but I couldn't say the same about me.
"Tsugumi!! Stop!!" Chitoge was furious and yelled at Tsugumi who was obviously frightened by her outburst, it was her first time seeing her young lady so angry at her.
But before she could talk back the teacher entered the class and we all sat down.
Unknowingly to everyone in the class while I was on my butt earlier I wasn't focused on any of the 2 girls, because at that time I received yet another notification.
[Side quest:
Embarass the tomboy. (Difficulty E)
Description:
Tsugumi have attacked you in front of the whole class just because of her own assumptions, embarass her publicly to teach her a lesson.
Reward: E class chest, 20 coins. ]
I already wasn't planning on letting this slide but this gave me yet another reason to take care of her. I already had a bad image of her for being the student of that four eyes but now that I saw how dumb she acts I'm sure that she's just a female version of him.
Even if I can't win against her in a straight up fight, we're at school right now, I'm confident in being able to make her regret that punch.
