“Eunha, do you know that? This is the first time in three years that I’ve been asked to help with exercise.”

6 pm.

After finishing the cafe, Eunha and Ban Harin gathered at Euncheon-gu Park and chatted while lightly stretching in comfortable sweats.

When Eunha asked if she could help her with her exercise, Ban Harin readily accepted and told her to start today.

I was worried about the scars on my back and left hand that [Invisible Kid] cut with a kitchen knife yesterday, but I was wearing sweats and a glove on my left hand, so it should be okay.

I was rooting for Eunha, saying that the moderate sunset and cool weather was the perfect time to exercise.

“Until now, I thought you were just an office worker who was playing around. If I had known you were a hunter, I would have asked you a favor a long time ago.”

“Is that so… I should have told you sooner. For your information, I am this kind of person.”

Ban Harin pressed Eunha’s back, who was sitting down with her legs spread, with one hand, and took out his hunter ID card from his sweatpants pocket and showed it to her.

Eunha, who received her hunter certificate, widened her eyes in surprise.

~~~~~~~~~~~

Name: Ban Harin

Hunter grade: C grade / Combat type

Skill Name: Moving body vision

Hazard Level: F

~~~~~~~~~~~

That’s why Ban Harin’s hunter certificate was such a shock.

“What… Mr. Banharin was a C-rank hunter? Why are you telling me this now…!”

“I didn’t bother to tell you because I was afraid the F-class hunter who lives somewhere would be intimidated.”

“If you’re intimidated by things like this, you can’t be a hunter.”

Eunha makes a fuss while holding Ban Harin’s hunter certificate(?) in her hand.

That’s because a hunter’s grade means more than you might think.

In particular, C-class hunters, who were classified as proper combat personnel, were the primary target and ideal type of the galaxy.

“Hey, what does it feel like to be C-rank? Have you ever been in the [Rift Field]?”

“Quiet. Let’s focus on stretching for now.”

“Keuhehe…”

Ban Harin, who succeeded in deceiving Eunha with a ‘fake’ hunter ID, was told to be quiet and pressed on the back.

Eunha’s legs, which were already doing flexibility stretching, spread wide and she fell flat on the green lawn.

… … What, was I this flexible?

Eunha tilted her head at her strangely flexible body, even though she felt frustrated being pressed to the floor.

Originally, her flexibility was average.

[Self-recovery] A body that did not become more flexible or stiff due to the skill.

But now, for some reason, I have become incredibly flexible.

It didn’t hurt even if I laid down on the floor with my legs wide apart.

“Wow… Mr. Banharin. Would you like to pull my leg back?”

“You mean like this?”

“Aaaah!! Surrender! Surrender!!”

I was curious to see how far it would spread, so I asked Ban Harin, and he lifted the other person’s leg as if he was tearing off a chicken leg.

He was pressing down on Eunha’s buttocks with his knees so precisely that she couldn’t even struggle.

In the end, Ban Harin reluctantly retreated after shouting surrender about five times.

Eunha, freed from the pain of having her legs torn apart, stood up, massaging her numb thighs.

… … It hurts, but it’s a vague pain that’s on the verge of being annoying.

The leg was torn just enough so that Eunha wouldn’t get angry.

I am amazed at the frighteningly detailed power control.

I will be able to do the same when I become C-level.

“Are you okay?”

“it hurts.”

“It’s really bad… But Eunha, there’s [Self-Healing], so is there really a need to stretch?”

“No. I’m just making a fuss.”

Eunha stood up, rubbing her numb inner thighs.

Banharin had already finished stretching, set up a yoga mat and push-up bar on the lawn, and waited as if nothing had happened.

“Did you finish stretching well?”

“My crotch hurts.”

“You probably already know this, but I’ll explain it briefly. The ‘E-level promotion test’ is divided into a written test and a basic physical fitness test.”

Ban Harin, blithely ignoring Eunha’s whining, began to explain with his usual cold face.

The ‘E-Class Hunter Promotion Test’ in which Eunha failed 30 times.

It is a test to check the level of basic moral and common sense and the athletic ability to escape from monsters.

Yes. It is the ability to run away.

E-class hunters are not yet combatants.

So, you cannot enter the [Crack Field] where monsters live on your own. Accompanied by a gunner of at least C rank or higher, you can only perform non-combat missions, such as collecting herbs grown in the ‘mana’ of cracks.

“I’m doing well with my writing, so I’ll just help you with the basic physical fitness test. Is that okay?”

“Of course. I’ll do whatever you ask.”

“Okay, let’s start with push-ups.”

Eunha walked quickly to Ban Harin’s call and stood in front of the push-up bar on the floor.

My heart is pounding.

The first obstacle of Eunha, a 10,000-year F-class hunter, is push-ups.

Passing criteria: 90 or more times in 2 minutes.

“I understand that Eunha has a hard time increasing her strength due to the [Self-Recovery] skill. Not only that, but you said you can’t even feel mana?”

“I know very well.”

“So today, rather than simply increasing muscle strength, I would like to teach you tips for working hard.”

Pajijikㅡ.

Ban Harin, who wrapped his arms around Eunha’s waist, began to adjust her posture with her eyes shining golden.

Ironically, thanks to the [Self-Healing] skill, Eunha’s physical strength is almost infinite.

Therefore, if you succeed in doing push-ups even once, everything goes smoothly after that.

I’m doing this because I couldn’t do number 1, but…

Anyway, Ban Harin’s plan is to find a movement that allows push-ups with minimal force.

As Eunha, lying face down, grabbed the bar with great tension, Ban Harin touched various parts of her body to find the optimal posture.

I touched Eunha’s body by carefully ‘observing’ the grip method, the width of the foot, and the angle when going down.

“Well, this is a bit uncomfortable.”

“It’s because I’m not used to the position. Now, slowly… I’ll hold you from the side, so let’s go down slowly.”

Throbbing…

Ban Harin stopped performing the skill due to pain in his left eye.

Nevertheless, the training continued as if nothing had happened.

‘Wow… it’s good.’

Eunha did push-ups with the help of Ban Harin, who supported her chest.

The posture is slightly different from usual, so it feels uncomfortable, but it requires less force to the point where it feels comfortable.

Special training that only Ban Harin, who has good observational skills, can give her, taking into account everything such as her frame and habits.

After all, he is a C-class hunter. Teaching is different.

So how great is a B- or A-level hunter?

This level will be enough to pass the next exam.

“Your posture seems to be quite stable, so I’ll relax little by little.”

… However, Eunha’s confidence,

As time passed, it began to crumble like grains of sand.

“……Hey, Eunha? You need to give me more strength.”

“Don’t tell me. I’m busy right now.”

It was good when Ban Harin supported her chest, but the moment she relaxed, Eunha’s movements stopped like a ghost.

When I hold it from the side, it moves easily,

If you lightly touch it, it stops working like a robot that has been unplugged.

How many times did that repeat?

In the end, Ban Harin got up from his seat with a puzzled look in his eyes, and Eunha, whose outlet was unplugged, was frozen in a prone position.

“……Eunha.”

“Don’t say anything.”

“Compared to before, your strength has become considerably weaker?”

Eunha’s body flinched at one word that hit the nail on the head.

Yes.

My strength, which was already weak, became even weaker as I became a woman.

The last time I tried to open a can of beer and failed, I was really frustrated.

The body is flexible, but it has become boneless chicken.

I feel like I gained flexibility by sacrificing strength.

“……I’d like to start by doing sit-ups.”

“Okay, let’s find a way.”

I decided to change the sport.

Before anyone could say anything, I lay down on the yoga mat and brought my legs together.

Ban Harin, who was adjusting the blindfold over her left eye, sat below Eunha and held her legs.

Ban Harin used his ‘skill’ again to correct his posture, but…

Eunha did not move while lying down on the yoga mat.

“Eunha.”

“…….”

“Eunha?”

“…….”

relaxing.

Let’s take a deep breath.

okay.

What is the use even if Ban Harin manages to maintain his posture?

To put it simply, this is what it means:

Let’s say you need an average strength of 100 to do sit-ups.

And Ban Harin set me up in a position that I could do even with 80% strength.

However, Eunha’s strength, which was previously 70, went down to 50 when she became a woman.

Efficient attitude and everything else is there.

Eunha smiled in relief and gently closed her eyes.

Ban Harin, who was holding her legs, put his hand inside Eunha’s top with an expressionless face and traced her smooth abs.

“…Why did I get a stomach? It would be faster to learn ‘mana’ and strengthen my body with it.”

“Body strengthening? I’ve been doing it for about two years, but I don’t feel any ‘mana’ at all.”

“…Okay. Then, let me demonstrate this time. Could you hold my leg?”

Ban Harin, who could not do better, changed his position and said he would try it himself.

Ban Harin lay down on the yoga mat, and Eunha held her legs and held them in place.

Ban Harin put both hands on the back of his head and struck a posture so neat that it could be included in a textbook.

She used her body to explain things like how to do sit-ups.

Of course, she may have given up halfway, but rather than explaining it to teach Eunha, it feels more like ‘I hope you know this because there is such a thing.’

“So, in this way, you can use everything, including recoil, to the limit that the rules allow.”

And, at the same time as Ban Harin, who had stopped breathing lightly, started doing sit-ups,

Eunha’s body began to bob up and down.

“Hehe! Sleep…! Hehehe!”

Because Ban Harin’s legs couldn’t be properly fixed, Eunha’s body floated up every time she stood up.

Do C-level hunters have good leg strength?

Eunha hugged Ban Harin’s legs and let out an embarrassing scream.

Is this what it feels like to be taken on a plane by an adult?

“Hey! Hey!”

Aside from her worn-out mind, her body had a terribly low tolerance for fear.

Just by shaking his body up and down, he gets scared and starts screaming.

I just hope there aren’t many people walking in the park.

“Huh! It! Hmm!”

“…….”

“Kkeak! Hmm… Ah, what is it?”

How many times did I scream out of fear?

When I noticed, Ban Harin, who had raised his upper body, was just moving his legs up and down, quietly looking at Eunha’s ugly appearance.

The corners of his mouth are slightly raised, making him look very happy.

Eunha came down from her legs with a face as bright as blush.

Suddenly, I became someone who hugged other people’s legs and let out cute screams.

I’m embarrassed.

Why did I do that?

“……Puh-huh.”

At that time, Ban Harin twitched the corner of his mouth and burst into laughter.

It must have been fun.

A small but sure smile.

Hearing her laugh for the first time, Eunha fanned her heated face with her hand and looked at her with curious eyes.

“…Why are you looking at me like that?”

“Mr. Banharin knows how to laugh too.”

“When did you say I laughed? Why don’t you just keep exercising?”

Ban Harin pretended to be a joke and turned his head.

Did Eunha hear wrong?

But looking at Ban Harin’s red ears, it doesn’t seem like that is necessarily the case.

The ice-hard beauty laughed.

Is this okay?

I think it’s okay to be embarrassed sometimes.

“Please don’t smirk. You’ll get angry.”

“Honestly, I laughed.”

“……Do you know that? I recorded Eunha’s moans with a tape recorder earlier.”

“what?”

“I will also tell Eunbangul.”

“what?”

“what.”

Eunha made a firm resolution in her heart.

I will never ask Ban Harin to teach me exercises again.

“It was a joke, I’m sorry, Eunha. I didn’t know you would be so embarrassed.”

“Please let me hit just one chestnut.”

“All right.”

Tap…

Ban Harin, who was caught in the middle of the night, made a subtle expression.

“You can hit me harder.”

“I’ll beat you later when you get promoted to C-level.”

“I understand. And… I was going to give it to you originally, but I’ll give you this as an apology. You can drink it when you get home.”

“…What is this? A drink?”

Eunha pretended not to notice that her fingers were throbbing just because she hit a chestnut and brushed off the dust from her clothes.

At that time, Ban Harin handed me a tumbler.

“This is a protein smoothie containing various ingredients that are good for the body, such as red ginseng and vitamins. I specially prepared this because Eunha seems to be in poor health recently.”

“I don’t need to drink this for [self-healing].”

“So you don’t need it?”

“I’ll drink it well.”

… … I have to ask Mr. Banharin to teach me exercises tomorrow as well.

So, the exercise training with Ban Harin’s help was,

It ended without much success, leaving only the galaxy’s first black history behind.

Until the next promotion exam… there’s a long way to go.
