Zero's Pov
2 weeks later
I woke up to a new day given to me to accomplish what I needed to do. I stood up and prepared myself to go for a run this morning. I needed to do some exercises, and above all, the sparring we added to our training schedule.
I got up from bed and went to the bathroom to wash my face when I noticed the changes in my body.
I saw in the mirror that I had developed muscles in my abdomen, and I could see that I had abs. My biceps had also gotten bigger over the past two weeks, and my chest had grown just right, probably because of the push-ups we had been doing.
This was the result of the hard work I had put in over the past few days, and I felt happy because even though it was tough, I enjoyed the rewards of my efforts.
After washing up, I left the apartment and put on my jogging pants to run a kilometer.
I carefully opened the door to my apartment and saw Miyuki waiting in front to join me for my morning run.
2 hours later
Miyuki and I were walking toward school to meet up with our friends and join them in their activities.
As we entered Taesan High, I noticed many students looking at us from every corner of the school.
Yet, none of them dared to approach us or get in our way, so we ignored them and continued walking.
We arrived and entered our classroom to do what we needed to do.
Suddenly, the door opened as a guy walked in, and we looked at him, straightening ourselves.
I spoke up, “Hey, do you need something?” I asked him with a somewhat arrogant tone.
He replied, “Zero, the first-year representative is looking for you,” and then he turned away and walked off.
I wiped my face with a towel due to the sweat and tidied myself up before leaving the classroom to head to the second floor.
As usual, while walking down the second-floor hallway, many students were glaring at me as I made my way to the representative's room.
I quickly arrived, opened the door, and saw the people inside looking in my direction.
A guy shouted as I entered, “Kizaki, Zero from section Y is here!”
I scanned the room, and I hadn’t seen Kizaki yet when he suddenly stood up from the back of the room and walked toward me.
We locked eyes, and he spoke first, “What’s up?” while looking at me seriously.
I understood what he meant because if I wasn’t mistaken, he was referring to our upcoming fight.
I replied, “I’m preparing for our match in a few days,” I said to him with an arrogant tone while keeping my seriousness.
He smiled at me and replied, “I see. Where do you want to hold it?” he asked.
I thought about where would be a good venue since his title as representative was on the line.
The gymnasium I had seen before came to mind, which was a bit of a distance from our building.
“Gymnasium,” I answered seriously without a hint of humor while still locking eyes with him.
He spoke again, “Good choice. Our gymnasium is spacious and nice.” I smirked at his comment.
I turned to leave since our conversation was over and headed back the way I had come.
I went down to the ground floor and walked down its hallway back to my room.
I opened the door upon arrival and saw them sparring.
I joined them because I couldn’t wait for my match against Kizaki.
With only five days left until then, I needed to give it my all to become stronger, as our fight was going to be exciting and intense.
I wanted to show him the results of all the hard work I had put in for that day.
5 days later
I woke up early because I planned to follow my morning routine, which included jogging a kilometer every day.
I also noticed that my physique had improved over the past few weeks and days.
I was no longer struggling with the exercises and training, as my body had adapted to the fatigue and pain I had been feeling.
I left my apartment to run in the remaining time I had before going to Taesan High.
This would help wake up my muscles, boost my spirits, and get my blood flowing properly.
Once again, I saw Miyuki in front of my apartment, ready to join me for my morning run.
While jogging, I heard her ask, “Are you ready, Zero?” as she kept her gaze focused on the road.
I responded confidently, “I’m more than ready, Yuki.”
She replied cheerfully, “That’s great! We’ll all be watching to support you later.”
I couldn’t help but smile inside at her words, and my determination grew even stronger to face Kizaki later.
I was sure I would take his Top Spot and face the strong students at Taesan High.
Today was the day of our awaited match against Kizaki, set to take place in the gymnasium at ten in the morning.
