Field expansion (1)
The two entered the gym entrance.
The uplifting music that comes from the entrance makes you realize that you are in the gym.
Sang-woo and Gyeong-do went to the counter and stood in awe, and the muscular man who was munching on smoked chicken breast jumped to his feet.
“It’s cheep… it’s lunchtime haha. welcome. Is this your first visit to ‘Strong Gym’?”
“yes. I want to look around.”
“Welcome. This is the best gym in the area. I’ll help guide you. Please follow me.”
I’m not sure if it’s the boss, but I followed the employee who seemed to be a trainer. It was larger than expected and various exercise equipment stood out.
Old men holding dumbbells and sweating Aunts standing on belt machines like zombies Grandpa who doubts whether it’s OK to exercise… ‘
No, this is in front of the university, so why aren’t there any young women?’
‘I don’t know. fuck. I think I was caught?’
Sang-woo and Gyeong-do grumbled with their eyes.
A slight disappointment crossed Sang-woo’s chest. The original purpose was physical training.
“This is the weight zone, and there are treadmills for aerobic exercise. As you can see from the machines, these are all made of magic stones, so they can hit heavier weights than machines made of ordinary metal. And that’s the aerobic zone…”
Besides, this man is more talkative than I thought.
Anyway, it was my first gym, but I thought I knew roughly what it was just by looking at it.
“There are not many people.”
“Ah ah, it hasn’t been long since they opened yet… haha. But I like less people to exercise. It’s because the movement lines don’t overlap when running workout routines.”
“I guess so. Then I’ll just register here. How much is it for three months?”
“It’s currently on sale, so if you register for 3 months, it’s 160,000 won. How about it?”
‘160,000 won? It was 90,000 won on the Internet.’
Sangwoo thought it was more expensive than he thought.
Gyeongdo also shook his head.
“It was written on the Internet that it was 90,000 won in 3 months. I’ll just go somewhere else.”
“Ah wait, that’s because it’s an open special. Hey, you look like a student, so I’ll subtract another 40,000 won and make it 120,000 won. It’s about 40,000 won a month, and you can’t use this level of facilities for that price.”
“Let’s do it for 90,000 won. And since I brought my friend with me, I’ll do it if you include PT.”
“… I will look at PT first. Instead, please keep it a secret from the other members…”
So I quit the gym for 3 months and started right away.
The trainer was impressed when I changed into the workout clothes provided by the gym.
“Oh~ Members, did you do some exercise?”
I know it’s lip service, but the corners of Sang-woo’s mouth go up.
“haha. Well, I did some bare-body exercise alone at home.”
“You may have some flab, but your shoulders are broad and your thighs are strong… Wow, you have a good balance. great. Shall we start by telling you how to use the exercise equipment?”
“Please do what is comfortable for you.”
The trainer kindly explained the name of the equipment, the exercise method, and the stimulation part of the exercise step by step.
“This is an incline bench press machine. This is an exercise that stimulates the upper chest. Lift the barbell like this, pause at the top for a moment, feel the maximum stimulation, and lower the barbell again as if it touches your chest… Would you like to try it?”
The total weight of the barbell is 20 kg on both sides.
Sang-woo tried as the trainer told him.
whoop- whoop-.
‘Pause at the peak to feel the maximum stimulation and return to the original position.’
“You are doing well for a first time. Are you good? When you give strength there, give it fast and strong. yes so And breathe out when you tense up and inhale when you relax. Yes. great. haha.”
It was easier than I thought.
I looked at Kyung-do, who was doing it alone without PT.
“Eutcha!”
He lifted a barbell weighing hundreds of kilograms into the sky with his two arms.
Dynamic movements like a weightlifter.
Eventually, he releases his power and puts it down on the floor.
bang!
At that sound, everyone looked at Gyeonggi-do.
“Wow, you are amazing. Did you do some gym?”
“haha. No, this is the first time.”
“Ah, then you seem to have specialized in strength as you awakened. What is your strength by any chance?”
“It’s not a big deal~ My strength is 2.1. Chow haha~.”
“Yeah… As expected, specializing in strength is good for fitness. I’m stamina-oriented… I’m envious.”
Sang-woo then remembered.
‘At that time, I heard that I got a hunter skill, so it must have been on the strength side. But is the muscle strength strengthened that much?’
It seems to be a muscle strengthening type, but that was a very common case among hunter skills.
However, looking at Gyeongdo like that now, I couldn’t imagine how great the other awakened people would be.
When awakened like this, most of them are at the level of ordinary people, but there were cases where they gained superhuman skills like hardness.
Among these skills, people called the ones that are good for hunting monsters as ‘Hunter Skills’.
And the Awakeners who acquired these hunter skills used to be very successful as hunters.
Now, Hunter is more in the limelight than ‘four’ jobs like judges, prosecutors, and doctors, so I’ve said it.
Of course, even if you don’t have hunter skills, you can use firearms to act as a hunter.
‘Because it’s dangerous.’
That’s why it was very important to get a hunter skill when awakening like longitude.
And as soon as he woke up, he was a little envious of Sang-woo when he saw Gyeongdo exerting such powerful power.
Of course, he thinks that his alter ego skill, which has infinite possibilities, is the best.
‘Given time, I can become the best no matter what.’
Around the time Sang-woo was masturbating thinking that he was absolutely not envious.
The trainer who had been chatting with Gyeonggi came back to Sangwoo.
“Member, you rested after 1 set. Shall we do 2 sets of 12 now?”
“no. That’s enough.”
Sang-woo refused as he got up from his seat.
“Why not? You have to repeat the exercise several times.”
“I came here to learn how to exercise today. I want to use all the exercise equipment here and learn how to use it.”
“Member. Posture is harder to grasp than I thought, so it shouldn’t be possible to learn it once in a while…” ”
Just let me know.”
For a moment, I looked at him with a feeling that the trainer was pathetic, but it didn’t matter.
You just need to know how to use it.
After all, your alter ego will do the exercise.
* * *
Longitude did not register health after all. The superficial reason was that it was too trivial.
‘It must be because there is no such pretty female trainer.’
… It was Kim Kyung-do who revealed the woman.
Anyway, thanks to the lack of Gyeonggi-do, the fear of being caught was gone, so it became cleaner to send the gym as an alter ego.
“great job. Let’s have chicken and beer soon.”
“Draw.”
On the way home after breaking up with Kyung-do in front of the gym.
Turning the corner, a striking beauty caught my eye in front of me.
Ponytail hair, small white face and red lips. The top was a white windbreaker, but rather than that, the prominent hip line that looked like yoga pants that fit snugly was impressive, so my eyes were drawn to it.
‘Wow, it’s really pretty.’
Sang-woo stares at her with his mouth wide open without realizing it.
She smiled at Sang-woo, perhaps familiar with that gaze, and walked past him into the building where the Strong Gym gym was located.
He had an intuition that the pretty trainer Gyo-do said was her.
‘It’s that person. If that person were a trainer, would you like to continue going to the gym?’
It was to the point where he was seriously thinking about his plan to give his alter ego a gym.
Of course, I won’t go home because it’s annoying.
‘I should never tell Gyeongdo.’
It was a great friendship that never shared anything good.
Sang-woo looked away for a moment, but went straight to the mart to wrap up today’s routine. I was planning to buy meat, vegetables and fruits to supplement my nutrition.
Excluding the gym registration fee, the money was enough to have 110,000 won left.
‘Let’s see… chicken breast…’
It was a time when I was shopping step by step with the items I had found on my smartphone in advance.
Weiying-
A screen popped up on my smartphone saying that there was a call from an unknown number.
The only ones who would call me were my mother and Kyung-kyung, so I answered the phone thinking it was spam.
“hello?”
-hello. Is that Jeong Sang-woo’s phone?
“Yes, that’s right. Excuse me, but who are you?”
-ha ha ha. Sang Woo. I am Uncle Jang Deok-cheol.
“ah! hello.”
-okay. I talked to my daughter and my wife about tutoring, and I said it well. So, is it time now? If it’s okay, I’d like you to come over to my house for a while and talk to me.
“Now?”
The time now is around 5:10. It seemed that there was still some time left to start the courier part-time job, so I called him.
“all right. Where can I go?”
-The address here is Gangseo-gu, Seoul… I’ll text you.
“yes. Text me and I’ll leave my luggage and go right away.”
After the call, Jang Deok-cheol texted me the address.
It was a 20-minute bus ride from Kyungkook University.
‘If I leave the groceries at home, the time will be just right.’
* * *
Sang-woo hurriedly calculated and headed to his room.
When I got home, No. 1 was doing squats in the room.
Sweat dripping down No. 1’s cheeks.
The clothes are also soaked with sweat.
It’s still hot in the middle of summer in August, but it’s amazing to even exercise in the room.
Perhaps because of this, the whole room was filled with the smell of sweat.
“oh my. I didn’t tell you to exercise outside.”
I didn’t give a detailed order, so No. 1 was exercising at home.
Still, they told me to exercise, but I didn’t pick it up and squat, but it was amazing to see him doing squats.
“Hey, eat some of this.”
“yes.”
With a sense of pride, I handed over the cool ion drink I just bought at the mart, and No. 1 accepted it and took a one-shot with a gulp.
‘…that’s 1L, but I guess I was really thirsty. Come to think of it, his workouts are too monotonous? I heard from the guy at the gym earlier that I have developed a tolerance for exercise, so I have to keep changing my routine.’
Gradually, I felt that the increase in ability was slowing down little by little.
Still, it is still growing fast enough, but if the growth rate slows down like this, it will be impossible to achieve the highest specs that Sang-woo dreams of.
‘It’s not because absolute hardness is higher than me. cancer.’
He was a superior who would never admit his narrow-mindedness.
‘With the current exercise, I can only increase my strength, agility, physical strength, and endurance. Unfortunately, I’m not doing very well. I can’t even touch the magic. I heard you need to get a special skill or catch monsters to increase your magic power. Ah, it would be nice if I could have one more clone by raising my clone level.’
After going to the gym, Sang-woo felt impatient. Then the watch caught my eye.
[17:33]
While I was lost in my thoughts for a while, time flew by.
If you’re late, you’ll be late.
“Oh, I don’t know! I have to go to class first. No. 1, don’t skip your part-time job later and have a good trip!”
Sang-woo jumped out from behind.
