“Bigger!”

“One!”

“Harder!”

“Two!”

Swish, swish – As I thrust my fist forward, the dinosaur paw sleeve that was covering my hand fluttered in the wind.

Rain, who was watching the scene from the side, shook his head and sighed.

Right after afternoon training, Shine, Rain, and I changed into our animal pajamas and gathered together again.

Victor was there too.

“Too weak.”

I lowered my head without saying anything.

As Victor said, Lane started teaching me.

But I didn’t have the strength to display incredible brute strength like Rain.

“Ph… Should I eat some protein?”

I muttered, remembering the strawberry flavored powder in Victor’s room.

I didn’t know at first, but now I know.

That tasty powder is a supplement that helps you build muscle.

“No.”

Lane shook his head and sat up again.

“A strong body comes from a strong mind!”

Rain thrust his power forward with a powerful voice.

The fist that was thrown with a “swoosh” made a “bang” sound the moment it hit the air.

I was dumbfounded by the sight of her, which did not match the chick pajamas she was wearing at all.

“Hey. How is Rain so strong?”

I looked at Rain’s thin arms and asked.

My doubts were natural.

How can someone so young, or rather, so fragile, be so strong?

“Training!”

Rain shouted confidently, as if asking an obvious question.

Victor, who was watching from the side, clicked his tongue and answered.

“Rain has excellent control over water. If there are impurities mixed in, the control is extremely poor, but if it is the water inside his body, it is a different story.”

“Huh?”

When I asked again because I didn’t understand Victor’s explanation, Victor kindly continued his explanation.

“How should ordinary ability users use explosive physical abilities? Unless they are enhanced ability users.”

“That’s…”

“If the ability and the body are directly related, then it is possible. Electric powers or water-type powers like Rain are examples of this.”

Victor stood up and raised his fist.

He was staring into space when he suddenly threw his fist.

Swish- bang!

The quickly thrown fist created a small explosion like Lane’s had done.

Victor’s fist at the end of the air showed a speed so fast that even the eyes could not keep up.

“You know how electric power users use their superpowers, right?”

I nodded absentmindedly.

It was the same with the fight on the road, and also when I first took the test.

The head unconsciously sets limits for itself to suit the body.

However, if you are an electric power user, you can artificially manipulate brain signals to overcome this limitation.

“But if you do that, you’ll get hurt.”

That was indeed the case.

I went into Jeff Origin mode on the road and didn’t move for a few minutes, but my arms and legs were a mess.

If I had maintained that state for too long, my legs would have probably turned into rags.

“That’s why I need you!”

Lane stepped in front of Victor and shouted confidently.

“Rain?”

“Yeah.”

“Leave the physical training to Rain.”

Victor said that and then left the room, holding Shine, who was sleeping next to him, under his arm.

A long, fluffy tail hangs down.

“Ouch. Wait. Let go of that!”

Shine’s voice coming from beyond the door was filled with annoyance.

A room where only the two of them are left.

Rain looked at me, his eyes shining.

“Jeff!”

“Huh?”

“The answer is. Yes!”

“Yes!”

“Okay.”

Rain nodded with a slight smile, as if he was satisfied with my answer.

I looked at that sight and secretly sighed.

Rain’s demands were really nothing special.

But my body couldn’t handle that demand smoothly.

“Pushups! 100 reps!”

“Eww!”

I worked hard and moved my arms, sweating profusely.

One, two, three, four, as the number increased, his arms began to tremble and sweat began to run down his forehead.

He collapsed, breathing heavily and his face flushed red.

“100!”

“No, Jeff. I’ve only done it 20 times.”

“It’s the same 20 times as 100 times…”

“Jeff. If you don’t train hard, your body won’t be able to handle it.”

“Yeah. I get what you’re saying. But I don’t know what this method has to do with Rain. Rain doesn’t have the same abilities as me.”

“The principle is different, but the result is similar. In my case, I force the blood in my body to circulate quickly, promoting metabolism and gaining strong physical abilities. ”

I nod at Lane’s words that although they are completely different abilities, the results they bring are similar.

“In Victor’s case, this isn’t a very necessary method, but for me, it’s a very important ability. It means that I’m more skilled.”

“I see.”

“How to move without hurting your body, how to train your body efficiently, I’ll focus on training the parts that are prone to injury!”

Rain said that and patted my back as I lay there.

A fluffy dinosaur horn is toyed with in her hands.

“Wake up quickly! There are still 80 left!”

Peep, pee, pee. The noisy voice of a chick pierces my ears.

I sat up again with a sad face.

Although my stamina recovered thanks to lying down and resting, I couldn’t do 20 reps right away like before.

Eventually, after splitting it into 10 sets and taking enough rest, I was able to do 100 push-ups that Lane had mentioned.

“Done!”

Huff, huff – Rain came to me as I was breathing heavily and wiped away the sweat.

The small handkerchief held in her small hand had a refreshing fragrance.

I, who was already receiving care from Rain’s hands that were carefully wiping my cheeks and neck, opened my mouth while looking at the door that Victor and Shine had exited through.

“Why did you take Shine?”

“Well, maybe he decided that my method didn’t suit Shine?”

“Is that so?”

“Yeah.”

As I spent time training with Rain, I soon realized that it was dinner time.

“Evening!”

Dinner was delicious. It was time to eat.

That meant that it was the only time Amy didn’t prepare a packed lunch.

The only time of the day when something delicious is allowed.

I jumped up from my seat, drooling.

“Jeff. There are still 50 episodes left.”

“But. It’s dinner time…”

“You can’t go eat until you finish all 50 episodes.”

I looked outside the training ground with a sad face.

It was already well past the afternoon training time, so there was no one inside the training ground.

Hehehe- Rain’s face looked so scary as he spoke with a small smile.

I moved my body hard with a sad face.

My stomach hurts. It hurts so much.

Muscles that I normally didn’t use screamed.

“100!”

“Wow!”

The moment I reached 100 reps, I just laid down with my hands spread wide open.

It was difficult to move any more.

His wide-open mouth demanded more air.

“Heh heh.”

“Let’s do it again after dinner!”

I closed my eyes at Rain’s terrible words.

As I headed to the restaurant, my tired body dragging me, I was able to discover an awkward combination.

Shine sitting next to Victor and eating dinner.

She seemed to notice my arrival immediately and jumped up from her seat and shouted.

“Jeff!”

Dinosaur Shine jumped up from his seat and started running towards me.

Her long, flowing tail swung from side to side to match her movements.

Because she wasn’t wearing her hood, her white hair was also fluttering.

“Yeah. Shine.”

Shine ran over quickly and hugged my body with both arms.

I could feel that his careful gestures to avoid getting hurt were a consideration for me.

“Did you get good training?”

“Yeah.”

Shine, who was hugging me tightly, looked at Rain next to me.

Their eyes met in the air, Rain and Shine nodded silently as they looked at each other.

“Okay.”

“What do you like?”

I wonder what they were talking about.

Feeling left out by the sight of them nodding to each other without saying a word, I immediately asked back.

But neither of them gave me any answer.

“Hey. What is it? What is it? Tell me too!”

“Jeff. Are you hungry? Let’s eat.”

Shine grabbed my hand and led me to the table where Victor was sitting.

Victor, who was eating, waved at me.

When the cheeks are full of complaints, they become swollen.

Shine sat me down next to her.

“What do you want to eat?”

“Yes? I want pork cutlet.”

Victor’s unexpected question.

After hearing my answer, he naturally got up and headed to the kiosk.

“Isn’t that Victor?”

Rain muttered as if he couldn’t believe the sight.

She watched Victor’s back and then ran to the kiosk herself.

As I watched the two people ordering food, I turned my gaze to the food Shine was eating.

Shine was eating spaghetti.

The refreshing scent of tomato sauce tickles my nose.

The long noodles look so delicious too.

How about the meatballs on top?

I swallowed and looked at Shine.

“Do you want to eat?”

“Yeah!”

Shine smiled brightly at my powerful answer and lifted her fork.

I was looking forward to it.

My heart felt like it was going to burst with such great anticipation.

“Yes.”

She took the smallest meatball and offered it to me.

“Over there. Shine…”

Couldn’t something a little bigger be okay?

I wanted to ask that, but I couldn’t bring myself to open my mouth.

Shine held out her fork in front of my mouth as if telling me to eat quickly.

“Yum.”

I took the meatball she offered me and ate it.

The moment you chew the meat, your expression relaxes as the aroma fills your mouth.

I felt like all the fatigue from working so hard all day was gone.

“Is it delicious?”

“Yeah!”

It was really, really, really delicious.

Shine smiled slightly and took the largest meatball and put it in her mouth.

A giant meatball that disappears in vain.

As I blankly stared at the sight, Shine’s fork moved once again.

This time, it was a huge meatball.

“Yum.”

Shine munched on the meatballs with relish.

“Should I give you more?”

“Yeah! Yeah!”

“Give me a kiss on the cheek instead.”

Shine’s bold request.

It was such a natural request that I couldn’t help but pause for a moment.

“What…what do you want me to do?”

“Kiss. Kiss on the cheek.”

Shine held out a large meatball to me on his fork.

“I want to eat it. Hurry up and do it.”

“Over there…this is.”

“It’s not weird at all. It’s something that families all do.”

“That’s true, but…”

I turned my head to look around.

Lane and Victor seemed to have some trouble.

Lane keeps kicking Victor’s legs as he stands still.

Victor ignores such a lane.

It seemed like it would take some time for the two to return.

“That… yeah.”

I nodded and leaned my upper body forward.

Shine’s face gets closer and closer.

Her white, soft cheeks fill the gaze.

She had her eyes closed, her face filled with anticipation.

The corners of his lips were twitching slightly, as if he was holding back a smile.

“Ha… I’ll do it!”

I stuck out my lips, catching my breath.

It was a simple kiss, but for some reason I felt embarrassed.

Slightly protruding lips.

At the same time, Shine’s face suddenly turned around.

Touch- something soft touched my lips.

I immediately stepped back.
