[14:00. September 1, 305th Elmanar]

I slowly woke up after sleeping since returning from Hollis.

"Ummmm..." I stretched my body. A feeling of euphoria flooded me.

Sit up, I stared blankly at the ceiling.

...

"What should I do next?" I muttered.

'Looks like I should train a little bit'. I decided after some thought.

I didn't really want to become stronger. I didn't have any lofty goals to motivate me to train my strength. I just felt that my body was too weak, which would hinder me a lot. So I decided to train myself a little more.

Before, when I was Dang Minh Nhat, I had no goals, no desire to train my body. Coupled with my body being full of diseases, exercising made me feel like I was about to log out of the world. So I got used to a weak body and didn't care about exercise.

But in this world, I need to improve my body if I want to continue staying in Hollis for the next 3 years. I also need a certain amount of strength if I want to observe the main characters. I mean, I need to have strength to protect my life...

The main characters are magnets that attract trouble and danger. If I want to observe them closely, I need to have some strength to preserve my precious little life.

Even though I know a lot of tricks to keep myself alive because I know the future plot. But I still need some strength to easily apply those tricks.

Anyway, let's go practice. This body is definitely much better than my original body. Practice must not be as bad as I thought.

---

No, no. I was fucking wrong. It's so tiring.

It still feels like shit. Not much better than my previous life.

...No, it is actually much better, but it still feels like shit. I hate this feeling.

For some unknown reason, my body feels quite heavy despite the fact that I look very thin.

[A while ago]

I'm in the park now. Just like the park in my old world, there are some exercise tools here.

I started by running around the park.

For the first 500m, I was fine. But after 1km, my heart tightened and my breathing became more and more rapid. My vision became blurry and I felt like I could fall down at any moment.

"J-just, how bad is this body?"

I stopped, put my hands on my knees, and started breathing heavily. My head was spinning and my legs were shaking non-stop.

I was starting to worry about my Endurance stat. Maybe the F- Endurance displayed on the status board was because there was no lower rank in this world. If there was, my stamina would definitely be much lower than F-.

"Damn it..." I tried to catch my breath, staggered to the bench, and sat down. I rested my elbows on my knees. It took me a while to feel better.

[Present]

"I want to give up..." I looked up, a slight dizziness passing through my head.

"Ouch!"

For a moment, my whole body felt like it had a slight electric shock. A tingling sensation spread throughout every corner of my body.

It didn't last long. In fact, everything happened so fast. It made me unable to realize what was happening.

I froze for a moment. It felt like someone had just turned off their phone and turned it back on quickly. And here I was that phone.

"...What the hell just happened?"

I was confused, put my hands on my face and started thinking about what had happened before.

After a while, I still couldn't think of anything. I decided not to think about it anymore. It must be because I was too tired.

I stood up from the bench and walked away. I planned to run back the same way to the starting point and then go home earlier than expected. I didn't want to practice anymore, it felt terrible.

Maybe I'll do some light training first and think about the actual training later.

---

"Huh?"

After running for a while, probably more than 500m. I felt something was wrong.

I stopped and looked down at my body.

"Not as tired as before?"

I was a little confused but I quickly regained my composure. Standing there thinking, I finally understood why.

'Body Synchronization...'

It must be it. After all, this body isn't mine. Controlling it would be difficult.

It seems like the way I ran just now has helped my soul and this new body to synchronize better.

A satisfied smile appeared on my face. I continued running.

"Maybe training isn't that bad..." I muttered.

---

After a while, I finally returned to the original starting point. Because I no longer felt as tired as before. I decided to rest a bit and continue training my body.

I tried push-ups, chin-ups, and tried some other training tools. It was more positive than I thought.

The more I practiced, the more I felt my body gradually become a little lighter. Only then did I have more confidence in my F- Endurance stat. Even though I was very tired, that light feeling encouraged me to continue training. I wanted to completely control this new body of mine.

Just like that, I practiced frantically in the park until the sun went down.

[19:00. Danz's room]

I dragged my exhausted body back to my room. I opened the door and fell forward with a thud.

My whole body was lying on the floor. I cursed.

"Fuck... I'm so tired"

I just lay there for more than 10 minutes while the door was still open, a few people passed by and looked at me with strange eyes.

"Mom, what's wrong with this person?" A little girl asked her mother.

"Don't look" the mother gently said to her daughter. She held her daughter's hand and left quickly.

"Ha ha..." I laughed bitterly, the corners of my lips and eyebrows twitching.

Then I finally stood up. Closing the door, I decided to take care of my sweaty body.

"Let's go take a bath"

---

After taking a bath, I sprawled out on the bed.

Sorting out what happened today. A feeling of joy filled my mind.

I got to meet the main characters I loved up close.

Witnessing the grandeur of Hollis Academy.

Seeing the 3rd ranked Ranker of humanity with my own eyes.

And above all, the feeling of exerting myself that I hadn't experienced in a long time.

It's been a really, really long time since I've really exercised.

I used to regret neglecting my health, leading to illness. But then I got used to it, got used to my weak body, and I no longer had any interest in exercising.

But now, I finally found the joy of improving myself. A sense of satisfaction spread throughout my body.

Smiling, I reached for my BracePhone and glanced at the clock on it.

"It's still early... just after 8..."

Even though I knew it was still early, the workout had drained all of my energy.

"I guess I should go to bed early to prepare myself for the first class tomorrow..."

My eyelids grew heavy and I fell asleep once more.

Author here. I'm very sorry for dragging on. But if I don't write it all down, I feel like something is missing. Very uncomfortable.
