After the somewhat chaotic event yesterday, I was now back to my usual routine...
Huff…! Huff…!
With every strained breath, I endured the aching pain in my muscles as I counted down the last rep of the day. "87, 88, 89…"
As I continued to hold my breath, I recalled the challenge Lucas gave me yesterday.
'Riley, in the grand festival, can you please be my opponent?'
And here I thought the dear protagonist actually had something important to discuss.
In the end, the guy just wanted to challenged me to a duel for the upcoming grand festival.
Ever since I made the choice of acting strong for Lucas and accidentally positioning myself as his rival, the guy has been getting weirder and weirder for some reason.
I know he had a weird obsession with getting stronger, but I didn't expect it to go in this direction.
"100!"
'Phew…'
