“Now, hold your posture a little higher. Raise your legs higher!”
“Huh uhhhh..!!”
“It’s still a long way off. more more!!”
“Ugh..!!”
Lennok pondered as he watched the sweat dripping down the smooth floor.
Can I survive here any longer? Or should I just let it all go and go home?
Even while thinking over and over again, the unholy command heard from above never ceases.
“One more set!!”
“Ugh!!”
Even when risking his life and exchanging tricks with strong enemies, he had never been mentally driven to this extent.
However, the opponent didn’t take care of Lennok’s situation and continued to push him without a break.
Midday downtown. The streets visible through the well-polished windows are still crowded with people.
Lennok was now sweating profusely on an upper floor of a building in the center of the main street.
“end! I will take a break for 10 minutes.”
“Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa)”
I lay down with my hotly heated head on the floor.
Beyond the upward gaze, I could see a large signboard attached to the exterior wall of the building.
Pilates.
Lennok was now facing a new challenge to somehow improve his ailing body.
“It is forbidden to lie down to rest. Get up quickly.”
“…”
It’s the first day now, can we do it well?
Lennok sat up with such serious skepticism and took a deep breath.
No matter how tired and weak his body was, he had no intention of letting go.
Considering the effect of exercise on health, it is rather late.
It was awkward to be doing this in a situation where he had to finish the conflict with the exploration team and rob the drug lord’s safe, but it wasn’t that Lennok was not thinking about it, so he wasn’t spending his time like this.
The time it took for Jenny to retrieve the drug lord’s data was a little longer than planned, so she had some extra time, but the deadline was not set, so it became an ambiguous situation to receive another nomination request.
Unwillingly, Lennok, who was given an ambiguous vacation, decided to start exercising, which he had been putting off because he was busy with work.
I was regretting it less than 30 minutes after I arrived at the Pilates studio.
‘I made the wrong choice from the beginning…..’
It was absurd to do strength training with this body, so I completely excluded weight training and chose the option, but it was a mistake.
Rather, if it was a gym, Lennok could have been able to adjust the amount of exercise by himself without interfering with others and create a condition.
On the other hand, during the one-on-one time with the Pilates instructor here, there is no time to even look away.
Repetition of hard training that only relies on the instructor’s ability to squeeze Lennok’s body like a rag.
I never thought Pilates would be such a tough workout. No, is Pilates in this world poisonous?
At least, looking at the dance uniform the instructor in front of me was wearing, it didn’t seem so wrong.
The instructor, who was looking down at Lennok, who was looking up at the ceiling with a blank expression, smiled and sat down next to him.
“Isn’t it very difficult?
She is an impressive woman with her voluminous white hair tied back.
Considering the fairly upright impression, stable magical energy exuding from his entire body, and disciplined momentum, he must have come from a martial arts school.
Introducing herself as Lancia, she handed Lennok a water bottle.
Lennok lowered his head slightly and accepted the water bottle.
Lancia, who stared at him drinking water, said.
“All first-timers have a hard time like this. Since it is basically an exercise used for rehabilitation or correction, there is a lot of fatigue from using muscles that are not normally used.”
“okay.”
“Well, I don’t think that’s the problem with you.”
“…”
Lennok turned his head at the words of Lancia, who poked at the core without hesitation with a sour expression.
“Overall, the balance of the body is severely disturbed. Even though Heo Woo-dae looks quite fine, you can recognize that he has a constitution that does not absorb nutrients well.”
Does that mean he even paid attention to such things while tutoring Lennok?
While lost in thought, Lancia continued to speak.
“It’s not just a matter of muscle strength, it’s flexibility, agility, the amount of sweat compared to the prescribed amount of exercise… It’s not a problem that can be easily fixed overnight.”
It is an easy composition to look at from the point of view of learning martial arts rather than being an instructor.
It certainly seemed like he wasn’t the only one who studied Pilates.
Rising from her knees, she reached out to Lennok.
“But if you believe in me and follow me, I guarantee that you will definitely get better than now.”
Confident rants. But it was never an unpleasant arrogance.
Lennok smiled and took her hand and pulled her upright.
“Looking at the instructor’s sales skills, I can guess how well this studio is doing.”
Unlike the way he spits out casually, he has a good eye and a friendly attitude.
If Lennok, who is basically wary of people, felt this way, I could imagine how others would treat her.
“I earn enough to live on.”
After replying with a calm face, she immediately started stretching.
“If you come back next time, I will tell you about the exercise with the equipment. I like doing it on a sheet, but I also like using a machine to correct my posture and strengthen my core muscles.”
“……….”
“We can provide a free service for about a day. A secret from the other guests.”
Lennok laughed incredulously.
“Can I do business like that? Is that the secret of business?”
“You can tell by looking at the customers who come here.”
Lancia said with an expression that said nothing.
“Looking at the muscular condition of the customer, it is obvious that he is managing his diet with care in his own way. At least I like that you are not a guest who came to me without making any effort.”
“……….”
“When I exercise, I like people who do it sincerely.”
“…Let’s continue.”
As Lennok replied, he slowly loosened his stiff body.
“Just enough to not cause muscle pain, please.”
“Don’t talk nonsense. Follow me.”
“…”
That day, Lennok was able to return home only after he had vomited his stomach once.
