1 month has passed
"A month has passed since I started my training, Cravo, although a fun guy, is very strict."
**Flashback of the 2nd day of training**
"I overslept after yesterday's training."
*Sungjin runs to a junkyard where his training is taking place*
"I'm finally here."
Cravo: Hm... Looks like someone is late. *Cravo appears with his arms crossed behind Sungjin forming a scary shadow*
Sungjin: Ehm... It's my first time doing physical activities of this level, I still can't move properly, I had to sleep a little longer, but I'm here, aren't I, that's what matters! *Sungjin says trying to explain himself a little awkwardly*
Cravo: That's not an excuse, didn't you ask me to train you? This is the training, you can either put up with it or give up, choose! *Cravo walks to a pile of cars*
Sungjin: I have to keep going! *Sungjin thinks about the bad times when he was bullied just for being skinny and weak* Even though I don't want it that much...*He whispers the last sentence to himself*
Cravo: Okay, come here. *Cravo points to the floor, now sitting on top of the pile of cars*
Cravo: Do you see that refrigerator? *Points to an empty and rusty refrigerator* Bring it to me! *Cravo has a teasing smile on his face*
Sungjin: WHAT?! How am I going to bring a refrigerator here, from there to here it must be almost 20 meters, how do you expect a skinny guy like me to do that?! *Sungjin gets angry*
Cravo: You're only leaving after you move it at least 1 meter, when you manage to bring it here the real training begins. *Cravo says and turns his back, going to a small house with some broken windows*
Sungjin: What do you mean?! That thing must weigh about 500kg *Sungjin says, being completely ignored by Cravo*
*The day is already approaching sunset and Sungjin can only shake the large refrigerator that seems to be stuck to the floor*
"It seems like I won't be able to move this refrigerator for now, I have to think of a way to move it at least a little, otherwise I'll die of hunger here"
*Sungjin thinks for a while while recovering his energy*
"I have an idea"
*Sungjin goes to a pile of cars and pulls a thick piece of iron out of one of the cars*
Cravo: What is he doing? *Cravo asks the woman who was with him*
?: Maybe he's trying to make a seesaw to knock over the refrigerator, it seems like the boy isn't all bad. *The woman answers sitting on a beach chair watching the boy*
Sungjin: That should do the trick! *Sungjin says as he picks up a tall rock on the floor and places it behind the refrigerator, sticking the metal bar under the refrigerator over the rock*
*Sungjin uses all his strength to move the bar, but his light body doesn't help him counterbalance the bar, which makes it difficult for the seesaw to work*
Sungjin: Shit! I'm too light. *Sungjin looks around while thinking of an idea*
Sungjin: That should do the trick. *He says looking at a sandbag that was propped up against a wall*
*Sungjin tries to lift the sandbag but can't get the heavy bag off the floor, he looks around again, but it takes him a while to have an idea. Already stressed out with all the suffering he had already been through, Sungjin goes to the house*
Sungjin: Hey, are you just going to stand there and watch, aren't you going to help me at all? *Sungjin asks Cravo who is with some members of the old Valhalla*
?: You really are weaker than expected. *A young man with blue hair throws it in Sungjin's face*
?: It's not polite to say that about the Young Master. *A giant man scolds the young man*
Sungjin: I already know that I'm weak, that's why I came here, now I just need help. *Sungjin says as he starts to get sad*
Cravo: Okay, today is over, I already knew that you wouldn't be able to move the refrigerator, you didn't open the refrigerator and didn't see that it was full of concrete. *Cravo says as he takes a magazine that was over his eyes*
Sungjin: WHAT?! *Sungjin is surprised and enraged at the same time*
Cravo: You managed to pass your grandfather's admission test, we all took the same test, we performed better, but that's beside the point. *Cravo reaffirms how terrible Sungjin's performance was*
Cravo: The real training starts tomorrow, come without delay and on an empty stomach. *Cravo grabs his suit and leaves with the former members*
**End of the flashback of the 2nd day of training**
"This day really was like a slap in the face"
*Sungjin gets kicked in the ear and falls half unconscious*
?: You shouldn't be thinking about other things when you're fighting your enemy. *The blue-haired young man scolds Sungjin*
Sungjin: You were supposed to be my ally. *Sungjin says as he stands up still a little dizzy*
"This is Na Hyun-woo. He has few social skills, but he's a true prodigy when it comes to fighting. He became a black belt in Taekwondo at the age of 12, and managed to become division leader at the age of 17. I've been training with him for almost a week. Cravo said that the best teacher for me, who has never fought, would be Hyun-woo, but I only get beaten up. I haven't been able to learn a single move yet."
Hyun-woo: Let's do it again, focus! *Hyun-woo keeps his hands down while keeping one of his feet slightly raised, he calls his style 'sloppy'*
Sungjin: Okay... *Sungjin assumes a position that he assumes is correct, with his arms protecting his face and his legs slightly apart*
*The two watch each other for a while until Sungjin loses his patience and tries to throw a punch from the right, the moment Sungjin blinks during the movement, Hyun-woo disappears for a moment and appears in the air looking into Sungjin's eyes with a side kick about to hit him*
"I'm dead"
Cravo: That's it for today! *Hyun-woo stops his attack before hitting Sungjin, who sighs in relief*
Hyun-woo: It was a good training, until next time. *Hyun-woo grabs his coat and walks to the exit of the junkyard*
Sungjin: I was a good punching bag. *Sungjin laughs awkwardly*
Cravo: You're evolving more than I expected! *Cravo rests his hand on Sungjin's back while comforting him*
Sungjin: Nice joke, he's using me as a punching bag and you're saying that I'm evolving. *Sungjin walks to his clothes that were on top of a chair*
Cravo: You didn't notice because you have no experience, but you have such powerful genetics that your body was in a fight whether you blocked or dodged, due to the lack of practice and experience, your muscles don't respond to your subconscious, that's why your arm and point of gravity were shaking. *Cravo says as if it were something anyone could understand*
Cravo: I believe that in 3 months you'll be able to fight someone. *Sungjin despairs at the deadline given by Cravo*
Sungjin: 3 months?! My classes start next week, I need to know how to fight in what? Two days! *Sungjin starts to sweat*
Cravo: Yeah... That's a very short deadline, just try not to get into any trouble okay? *Cravo speaks condescendingly*
Sungjin: I don't get into any trouble, it comes at me like a shot. *Sungjin shrinks with his things and goes home*
Cravo: He must not have noticed, but he gained almost 10kg and about 5 centimeters, all thanks to my super soldier serum (a hyper caloric shake) *Cravo leaves for home with a smile on his face*
