Baki's House
11AM.
"Haah....haah...", My tired voice echoed as I could now be seen on my doorstep, currently squatting down, trying to catch my breath. Plenty of sweat could now be seen dripping from my body. I wasn't alone either, I could see a pretty pink-haired girl currently laying flat on her back, covered in even more sweat than I had. Her tank top was quite drenched in it, and I could easily see the outline of her breasts.
Seeing it so close like this caused me to pause for a moment. I didn't see a bra hidden inside. Just her supple round breasts that were slightly revealed to me. If I closed closely, I could see two pink buds. Thankfully no one else was around to see Lala's current appearance. Despite that, she was quite funny right now, as her body was fully stretched out. Now that I thought about it, didn't Lala hate wearing bras in general?
"I don't think I can move another muscle, Baki-kun...My legs feel like pudding...", Lala said, revealing a small frown over her lips. Hearing that caused me to smile as I took in a deep breath of fresh air to help regulate my lungs. Unlike her, I was still seated on my porch, still having plenty of energy to spare.
"Haha, well I think we just broke a world record. We just ran one hundred and twenty kilometers in four hours. Good job keeping up with my pace the whole time, Lala-chan.", I responded, reaching out my hand and ruffling Lala's hair a bit. A smile bloomed on her tired face seeing me do that.
"Hehehe. I wasn't expecting to run that much all of a sudden...", Lala's tired voice spoke softly beside me. As Lala began to zone off, I went into my thoughts a bit, recalling what had happened during that run.
'I even had an encounter with one of the future Avengers too. Wasn't expecting to see Hawkeye on one of those trains. It isn't often he comes to Japan, if at all.', I also mused, recalling what had happened in the last couple hours. It was still early in the day, but that brown-haired man resting at the window on that train was definitely Hawkeye. And seeing him arriving in Tokyo could mean a multitude of things. But the primary question of them all, was Shield already starting to move?
I couldn't help but look at the pink-haired girl before me again, who made a gesture of her mouth, letting her tongue dangle out of tiredness.
Well, if they somehow find their way here, it would save me the trouble of trying to locate them, so I'll play it by ear. Until then, I could only focus on my training for the Underground Arena, and school life. Yujiro did have many ties with several different governments, so he probably had ties to Shield as well, whether it was for good or bad. If Shield is going to approach me, likely because of this pink-haired girl next to me, that could be the key for me to become a hired merc. I'm sure they've made plenty of enemies they would want to get rid of, and that would cause my experience to soar, seeing as Aura said it wouldn't level up outside of fighting.
For now, my gaze remained on Lala. Her body was now acting as if it was a big bowl of pudding. To say the least, her current appearance was very cute.
Seeing as she was taking a few moments to catch her breath, I took the time to check over my system. It was a pretty intensive run, seeing as we completed one hundred and twenty kilometers in a record-breaking 4 hours. Courtesy of the Baki-verse, most of the martial artists shown in Baki can easily break a normal human's standards.
It wasn't just one but quite a few notifications started to flash inside my mind, causing me to get distracted.

Several notifications came at me altogether, each one was music to my ears. And I paused on one of my stats specifically, trying to make sure what I saw was actually true. I looked at my status screen to see all the changes that happened during that long distance run.

It really did show my strength over 500...And I even gained a new title out of it. Guess running introduced some new milestones, so I couldn't help but wonder what other types of workouts I should do to increase my stat gains?
Doing that four hour run did eliminate my milestone for 50 and 100 kilometers, so if I ran that again, I would not trigger those milestones. I would still get the bonus gain from Long Distance Runner though.
I now possessed 69 times the strength a normal human could reach.
Nice.
Jokes aside though, I did wonder where that put me in the grand scheme of things. It was hard to put numbers to people considering there several different worlds meshed together.
'Say Aura, how strong would peak fighters be from the Baki-verse?', I wondered, deciding to ask Aura on the matter.
"It is hard to say, Master. But I would imagine a normal martial artist could reach up to 25 to 200 times a normal human's strength. I could even see them reaching 1000 times. People like Yujiro Hanma is an exception though he could easily attain stats that are in the hundred thousands, or perhaps even the millions as long as he lets his body continue to grow. In the grand scheme of things, you are still weak to the big powerhouses.", Aura said, answering me.
'That makes sense. But outside the Baki-verse, I wonder where that would put me. Let's say Captain America was ten times stronger than a normal human in the MCU-verse. Would that make him a hundred or thousand times as strong in the Baki-verse?', I continued to muse.
"Power scaling works in weird ways, Master. Would you like me to try and convert your current strength and denote it into the strongest of your mixed stories, DBZ?", Aura decided to ask me.
Hearing Aura suggest that caused me to pause for a moment.
'You can do that?', I mused, not expecting Aura to suggest a power conversion.
"It is possible, yes. Of those who have participated in the randomizer program, not many have expressed an interest in wanting to convert the power they currently have into another form. As such, if I were to attempt to do this, there may be inaccuracies with it. Is that alright?", Aura asked me.
'I wasn't aware such a function was even possible. I am quite interested to see what my current power looks like on DBZ's scale.' I responded with interest.
"Understood.", Aure replied to me. From there I heard another notification sound off inside my mind, drawing my interest.
