Back home, lying on the bed, Shōgo fell into contemplation.
The days ahead were the days of self-improvement, and it was also the time for the five players of the Miracle Generation to blossom. He couldn't afford to be left behind, creating a considerable gap.
Looking at his real-time physical data table, Shōgo smiled.

There were hardly any changes, but his height had increased by one centimeter, and his weight had increased by 0.2kg.
Currently, he is 15 and a half years old, not yet 16, in the peak period of height growth and overall physical attribute improvement. He couldn't afford to miss this opportunity.
With these thoughts in mind, Shōgo took out a planning table and began to plan his schedule.
On Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, he would go to the fencing hall to practice swordsmanship, improving his agility and reflexes. He had already signed up, and tomorrow, he could start training.
On Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday, he would go to the mixed martial arts hall to practice, increasing his strength and endurance. He had also signed up, and the day after tomorrow, he could start training there too.
As for the daily two-hour swimming training before sleep, he could do it in the swimming pool of his villa.
As for Sundays, that was the time to hang out with friends and look for girls.
Finally, basketball training was no longer necessary. Shōgo had decided to carry the basketball with him at all times during this period. It shouldn't leave his side.
First, to familiarize himself with the feel of the ball and fully integrate his current and past basketball senses and awareness. He believed that he would improve further by then.
Secondly, practice makes perfect. He wanted to quickly reach the state of being one with the ball, which would be the foundation for becoming a strong and dominant player.
With these thoughts in mind, Shōgo immediately jumped out of bed, took off his clothes, and put on a pair of tight-fitting swim trunks.
"Plunk!"
He leaped into the swimming pool, and the icy sensation from the other world rushed over him, giving him the sensation of being reborn.
He was proficient in freestyle and breaststroke, and the feeling quickly returned since he had trained at the university club in his past life for nearly four years. That familiarity quickly came back to him.
In his past life, his body wasn't good, and he didn't have much muscle, so he tried the butterfly stroke, but his physical condition couldn't handle the power and speed required for the butterfly stroke.
But now, Shōgo felt that he should give it a try.
Suddenly, the silent swimming pool resounded with the sound of water, as Shōgo emerged from the water.
It was exhilarating, truly exhilarating!
He didn't expect that the passion brought by the butterfly stroke would be incomparable to that brought by freestyle and breaststroke.
Before long, two hours had passed, and Shōgo got up and took a hot shower before going to bed.
As he had already completed the transfer procedures, he had to wait two more days to go to the new school for registration.
The next morning, with the basketball on his back, Shōgo went directly to the fencing hall.
The one who received Shōgo was a young, beautiful coach.
Her figure was slim and graceful, coupled with long black hair.
A pair of long legs that were extremely attractive, and her agility was exceptional. Shōgo quickly realized the power of the coach.
Wearing full protective gear, and holding a thin sword in her hand, Shōgo felt a knightly aura emanating from within him. It was as if a knight had descended upon his body.
However, it didn't do much. In a short time, his scapula, collarbone, heart, and various other places were targeted by the beautiful and elegant coach in front of him.
Shōgo was also exhausted. His average stamina had indeed become a disadvantage, making it difficult to persist.
Taking off the headgear, Shōgo sat down on the ground and said to coach in front of him:
"Coach Miyazaki, please let me rest for a moment. I've been persevering for quite a while, and I'm exhausted."
Coach Miyazaki, who also took off her headgear, let her long hair flow like a waterfall, shaking it twice.
This scene made Shōgo's eyes widen, and he couldn't help but want to run up and hug her...
Coach Miyazaki glanced at Shōgo, confident in her beauty.
But her next action surprised Shōgo. Coach Miyazaki abandoned her dignified appearance and sat down right across from him. She looked at Shōgo with a raised eyebrow.
"Not bad, young man. You have impressive strength and agility, just lacking in stamina. You're barely stronger than me, a woman."
"Hey, hey, hey! Coach Miyazaki, you can eat anything and have any love affair, but don't casually belittle a man's stamina."
"Do you think you can last?"
"I can't last? Why don't you try?"
"Is there any need to try?"
Fine, Shōgo was very sad. He truly couldn't last long during the training just now, he didn't hit the coach once.
"So, everything you did was for basketball?"
"How did you know?"
"You've been coming and going with a basketball all the time. Only an idiot wouldn't figure it out."
"Well, it's indeed for basketball, I'm trying to keep up with the others' pace and not be left behind."
Looking at Shōgo's suddenly calm tone, Coach Miyazaki understood that the guy in front of her was serious. After thinking for a while, she said:
"Since you've come to our fencing hall, learn well. Improve what you want."
"Also, don't try to keep up with others' pace; instead, find your rhythm. That's how you can surpass others. It's the cardinal rule of fencing."
"Play your sword and let others talk. Alright, we'll stop here for today. We'll continue next time."
After saying that, the beautiful coach took her thin sword and performed a beautiful sword flourish, leaving behind a tall, delicate, and perfect figure for Shōgo.
Shōgo looked at the coach's figure and drooled all over the ground.
