18 18 Push-up Board and experiment

I'm sorry for the delay in the chapter, I got another Job, and the American football trainings are killing me... I can barely feel my arms just as I came back from them, still I went and got myself into a boxing gym, lets experiment whatever the MC and Ippo do.

Thanks for the comments, I really appreciate them, And I'm not going to drop this, well at least not in 20 chapters that I have the layout.

----------------------------------------------------------------

I accepted Ippo's challenge; after all, Ippo had too few sparring... Actually, he only fought Miyata in the year before going pro. Poor dude, I'll spar with him; maybe he will be able to get a decent defense.

After all that, we went and helped his mother; we finished again early, and I went home.

This time, I went directly to my room and opened the system.

I went to my inventory, and the rewards I had were trainings for an hour or so. I needed something with less time to experiment with the changes.

Furthermore, I opened the shop, and I saw more GP now I have 145; that's a one hundred increase in two days.

I bought a X4 triceps training for 10 minutes with 10 GP, the Push-up Board for 50 GP, and a Penal-Tea for 10 GP. I used half of my earnings just to experiment.

Sadly, the push-up board came in pieces; I needed to assemble it. I heard Dad was home and went to ask him for a screwdriver. He was curious about why, and I told him that I got a machine for doing push-ups and I needed the item.

Kazeo and dad came to my room, and we all assembled the board. Both of them were very surprised about the board, asking me where did I get it.

I decided to lie and told them that Takamura got it, but he was too lazy to assemble it, so he threw it away, nobody wanted to go against him and didn't claimed, but I decided to take it because it would be nice to have it, but I didn't knew where did he got it.

Dad bought the lie; Kazeo was raising an eyebrow, but he didn't comment on it.

Finally, I looked for the instructions on the exercises. I started to read the back and shoulders training program, telling Kazeo about the ones he needed to do. The board was very user-friendly, with all the colors and the instructions. I wanted to try it, so I told my brother to read the triceps training program, but Kazeo froze and looked at me alarmed.

"Sora, when did you learn English" He said surprised.

I was distracted and couldn't formulate a lie, so I said, "Huh? What do you mean?"

Dad took the manual and opened his eyes. "All of this is in English, and actually, the vocabulary in here is not easy"

I just grabbed my neck, acted ashamed and told them, "Well, I've been reading a lot of workout programs and exercises, and most of them are in English, because most of the modern training is in that language.

Dad scowled and sighed. "I… look, Sora, the war just happened. I know 40 years have come by, but most people still have a lot of resentment. Just... be careful and don't tell people that you have been researching American things, at least not yet, please." Dad hugs me and pats my back.

Kazeo was impressed by my approach and told me that if I got some cool training drills, I needed to tell him.

I just laughed and told him that I would do it. For dad, I just smiled and told him I would be careful.

I did the tríceps and chest excersices, I could barely do two sets of 15 push ups of each excersice.

When Dad and brother went out, I opened the inventory and mentally commanded it to open the X4 training.

I felt my arms free; the lingering pain that I had before with the push-ups I did have dissipated. I quickly put the board on the exercises and started to work out; my arms felt as if they were guarded or had some kind of defense; it has a hard-describing feeling. I started the pushups, and after I got into the 120 mark without rest, I could feel the defense in my arms lifting and starting to disappear. Likewise, I tried to go for the 200, but at the 150 mark, the feeling was almost done, and my arms started to hurt. In the 180 mark, I decreased the speed of the push-ups, and in the 200, I could barely raise my body. I stood up and breathed slowly to control myself.

I started to feel the defense once again. I saw the time, and 7 minutes had passed. I rested for another 20 seconds and went once again down. To continue with the push-ups, I managed to do another 80 before the time ran out, the pain in my arms increased, and I gritted my teeth and only grunted the pain.

I concluded that the training gave a layer of defense to that part I had to train, and after the time went by, I could feel all the training I had put in, and the muscle should recover after some time. My arms hurt a lot, but it was worth it.

Finally, I took out the Penal Tea and drank it fast. Oh man, that was a bad choice. It was horrible; it felt slimy as it went down my throat, and the lingering taste was horrible. Suddenly, I felt that my arms hurt less, and I could raise them up a little without the growing pain I had. Also, I could feel the muscle tissue grow in just a span of minutes.

That was kind of amazing. I wanted to experiment more, but I remembered that I couldn't buy another Penal-Tea or other supplement drink to recover; they had a cool down after I drink them, so it didn't matter If I bought another one; there was no way to use it.

I went to sleep.

By morning, my arms hurt less, almost a full recovery. Today was an easy day at training and school. We had some sports class and literature, with math at the end. Umezawa came to us to eat at the lunch hour, and he gave me two mangas of Doctor K.

At the end of school, we say goodbye to our classmates and tell them that tomorrow we will go with them.

We ran to the gym, and when we got there, the coach told us to start today with roadwork because we had already run and could finish the circuit. Some trainees joined us, and we completed the track in 30 minutes.

Ippo went with the coach again and he trained with the mitts, some combinations and how to stand up?, I never trained that, but it's an interesting technique.

Surprisingly, I got Miyata Senior as my trainer today. He told me how to move my feet and to travel my steps after a completed combination. I practiced the routine he put me through for 40 to 50 minutes, after that he told me to do some combinations with the mitts, but he threw some feints in between the punches, he hit me a lot of times; it was weird because I could see them, but I could only tighten my muscles when I saw the punch. He didn't even hit with a lot of strength, but it was annoying, more because he shouted at me to cover my defenses every time he did it.

I worked on that, and eventually I could block one or two for every six punches, he made me do another excersice and he hit me more with that one, he told me to rest for 2 minutes and control my breath, After that, I would do rope work and punching the bag with the combinations he told me.

When I did that, he hit me once again, shouting at me to block the sides, but this time he used a stick.

I complained, "Hey Miyata-san that is overkill; it's not spartan training"

"You want to grow stronger?" he asked

"Well, of course, but not if I break my body," I answered

He smiled. "A stick like this won't break your body; it will only sting, After a while, you would block and I won't need the stick anymore." He shouted, "NOW BLOCK"

He continued with the spartan method and I received some blows.

When both coaches finished our training I went to Kamogawa's and asked if we could use the ring to spar.

He grunted but told us to do only two rounds. Then he remembered that we wouldn't be coming the next day, and he told us to go all out.

We smiled and prepared ourselves. Firstly, I went with Ippo.

Ichiro was there and he was angry because he asked me to fight first.

Ippo was fidgeting and said, "You could go first," he said with a small voice

I sighed and told him, "Are you sure?"

He nodded and went down the ring.

Miyata prepared himself quickly and smiled. "Prepare yourself"

I chuckled and answered him, "Well, I was prepared for a super punch; I'm always prepared for your small punches"

He scowled but he knew I was joking.

Takamura laughed his ass off, and tried to hit the back of Miyata but he dodged.

ROUND 1

I dashed and stopped at mid-distance. I threw two jabs, but I knew he would Dodge them, so I pressured him and went with a… four… five… huh? Wha- what? Six… I panicked and stood up, Kimura looked into my eyes and told me to raise my guard.

I did it, but I was surprised… "What just happened?"
