Chapter 46
The Power of
the Training Room
Translator : PolterGlast
Training room = gym.
I see, then it's no
wonder that there's a gym in my house!
...I'm getting a
headache just from saying this to myself.
Why is there a door
directly to the gym in my room?
I thought that since
it was called an expansion, some kind of training facility would be built on
the side of the house or something like that... but I never expected that a
door directly to a gym would be added to my room.
I don't think one can
do anything as long as one connects it with a door... well, I guess it's too
late to say that to the [Home] gift.
I thought that
something big would be made because it uses 10,000 MP, but the reality is
beyond my imagination.
"For now, let's
check the inside of the training room..."
I nervously walked
through the door and entered the room.
The inside is about 20
tatami mats wide.
I've never actually
been to a gym, but... there are many gym machines that ordinary people can
imagine.
Cross trainers, cross
bikes, and running machines for cardio workouts.
From bench presses for
arm strength to abdominal workouts, there are also a lot of equipment that I've
never heard of.
Among them, what
caught my eye was something like an iron bar for pull-ups.
--I watch the annual
men's festival, Sa*ke, every year.
(TL note : Satake
Annual Men's Festival?)
Looking at this iron
bar, I imagined a man doing pull-ups with his upper body naked during training.
That was kind of cool
because it gave me a manly feeling, right?
...Wait a minute.
With my current
superhuman physical ability, I should be able to do pull-ups without any
problems, right?
I put my hands on the
iron bar as a test.
[Training Start]
As soon as I grip the
bars with both hands, such an announcement is heard.
Suddenly, a
holographic image appeared above my head.
[Attack Improvement,
Remaining Time 3:00:00]
The remaining time
appeared and decreased to 2:59:59.
This means... you want
me to do pull-ups for three hours, right?
The training room is a
facility for improving status.
Does this mean I can
improve my attack power if I do this?
"Hmph! ...I don't
seem to have any issues regarding muscle strength... so let's give it a try for
now!"
I repeat the pull-ups
two, three, and four times.
My arms should be
under a lot of strain, but strangely, I don't feel any pain.
It seems that I can do
pull-ups without any problems because my attack has increased and my arm
strength has improved.
But this is three
hours... it's a devilish act.
I'll try it once for
verification... oh, my palms are a little numb.
Maybe it's not working
after all...
Three hours later.
I was lying on my back
in the training room alone.
"Hah, hah,
hah..."
Sweat gushed out all
over my body.
The ground was soaked
with sweat, but I didn't have time to worry about that.
The sensation in my
fingertips was long gone, and my arms were hot beyond painful.
Even though my status
has increased, it was still too much for me to do pull-ups for three hours
straight.
"Glug, glug...
puha! I'm alive!"
I took out some cold
water from the item box and drank it all at once.
I sprinkled the rest
from above my head.
The water cooled my
flushed body nicely.
"I'm tired... I
didn't know muscle training could be this hard..."
It might be harder than fighting monsters
using magic.
My arms started to
hurt now.
Besides, pull-ups are
more of a full-body exercise than I thought. I feel like my abdominal muscles
are a little sore or heavy.
I wonder if this pain
can be cured with recovery magic.
When I try to use High
Heal, the pain gets a little better.
As I was about to use
All Heal, and I suddenly thought.
"If I use
recovery magic to prevent muscle soreness from occurring, won't I lose the
results of my muscle training...?"
Muscle soreness occurs
from the rupture of muscle fibers.
So it might be better
not to cure muscle soreness with recovery magic.
I was afraid that the
results of these three hours would disappear, so I decided not to use recovery
magic and leave it as it was for now.
When I checked my
status... sure enough, my attack had gone up by one.
"So three hours
of training only increases the number by one... Isn't it a bit
inefficient?"
1 in three hours is
not very efficient.
If all of these gym
machines and equipment are three hours per set, it would be difficult to do a
number of muscle training sessions in a row, due to fatigue.
...If this is the
case, it would be better to increase my LV instead.
(Right now that is...)
But I was convinced
that I would use this training room properly in the future.
And that it would be
in the not-too-distant future.
--First of all, there
is no doubt that LV will not increase infinitely.
When I was unable to
raise my level and an enemy appeared that I could not defeat.
That's when I would
reach my limits--.
But now I have the
power of this training room.
If I get into such a
situation, this should be a trump card to break through such a situation.
Besides, I think it's
attractive enough to be able to raise my status without any danger.
I sometimes get bored
when I'm waiting for the Null Zombies to disappear, so it would be helpful to
be able to improve my status in the meantime.
"Since I'm
already here, let's do one more set."
After taking a good
rest and standing up, I turn on the treadmill.
I couldn't adjust the
speed myself, and I was forced to continue sprinting at my maximum speed for
three hours.
I was even more tired
than before and didn't have the energy to stand up, so I lay down, looked at my
status, and smiled when I confirmed that my agility had increased by 1--.
