“What the hell are you doing here?”

It was next day after Yra finally open his eyes after his week in coma.

Alyssa did not expect him here, in the apartment.

“Sorry, I told the nurse who attend me to not call anyone, after all, I don’t want you to lose your time for someone like me.”

“You’re moron!”

Alyssa was angry, confusing Yra.

“I… I’m really sorry.”

Said Yra, as Alyssa got closer to him, and slap him in his right cheek.

SLAP!! On the face!!

“Ouch.” – said Yra, who looks down, at the angry face of Alyssa.

“You should take care of your body; do you have any idea how worry I… how worry Mrs. Otsuki was? Knowing that you work hard to paid her a full year of rent!”

“Hahaha, I know, I really do, now I am better, and I assure you that it will not happen again, now I am fine as ever, and I will try to not… make you angry again.”

“Idiot.” – she said as she went to her room.

“What… did I do wrong?”

<<<>>>

Time pass, and spring has come finally.

“Hello! My name is Logan Seris, is a pleasure to finally meet you, sir!” – said Logan as he bows to Yra.

“This… who were you?”

Logan seems like he is going to cry.

“I was joking kid, I remember you.”

After a lot of time, finally Logan and Yra met, at the Gym Rock.

It was five in the morning, a Sunday, when they met.

A two-meter-tall, muscle, dark skin, with short brown hair, and yellow eyes, good-looking man appear, he smiles when he sees his two promising clients.

“Yra! Logan! Welcome, welcome! To the morning shift!” – Arnold Coleman, owner of the Gym Rock as many calls them, but officially names Rock & Roll Gymnasium, got closer and with a “little” slap on their backs, he greets the two younger men.

“Good morning, Mr. Coleman.” – Yra greets back.

Meanwhile Logan is close to crying after receiving the power slap on his back.

“Hell yeah! Today boys! Today we will surpass our limits!”

“I will just go to use the walking…”

“No, young Logan! Today is leg day, but not that kind of leg! Hahaha!”

“Come on.” – Yra helps Logan stood up from the floor. – “You hear our trainer, is time to rock & roll in glorious muscular pain.”

“Well said young Yra! Well said!”

The narrative has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the infringement.

And so, the torture for Logan, and training for Yra, begun.

Next day.

‘This time I need to talk to him.’

Logan couldn’t see Yra at the end of their session.

“He left already.” – said to him Mr. Coleman.

‘Damn, why nobody told me that going to the gym will bring me so much pain, even sitting is painful now!’

“Logan.” – Yra finally appears. – “Good morning.”

“Yeah.”

Yra smiles at seeing the distressful look on Logan’s face.

‘Oh, old times, I still remember the first day I went to the gym, for the next three days sitting and getting up was a truly pain in the ass.’

Meanwhile, on Logan’s mind.

‘He has really change, he still fat, but not as much as before.’

Now Logan was below 105 kilograms of weight.

After all, he focused more on his magical aspect more than his physical one, and so, he didn’t lose as much weight as he originally thought.

Before his focus was 85% Magical, 10% Work, and 5% Physical Training; but now it was 30% Magical, 20% Work, 20% spending time with Alyssa, and 30% Physical Training.

He also joined the training with Mr. Shindo.

And he took the opportunity to take Logan there.

“Oh, who is this small fella?” – ask Mr. Shindo, trainer, and client of Gym Rock.

‘Did he call me fella? But he is almost as small as me?’

Logan was 170cm tall, meanwhile, Mr. Shindo was only five centimeters taller than him.

Not so short in height, but compare to Yra that was 191cm tall, or Mr. Coleman with his two-meters-tall, they were consider short compared to them.

“He’s Logan Seris, he will join us starting today.”

“That’s good, another victim.”

“What?!”

“Don’t worry, he is joking with you.” – said Yra. – “Today focus on him, I will get to the punching bags to do a little warmup.”

Mr. Shindo nods.

“Well, little rabbit, let’s start and see how strong you are.”

Logan nods his head, then looks around.

“What machine should I use?”

“Machine, oh no, I am not the kind of trainer like Arnold, I train people to learn how to fight.” – he said.

“Fight?”

“Yes, fight, I will turn you into a decent warrior at least.”

Logan gulps when he heard that.

“I don’t know how to fight.”

“Many of us start like that, so, don’t worry little puppy, I will make you worthy of my time.”

‘Small, rabbit, puppy, he is really rude!’ – thought Logan, who then, was on the floor. – ‘What happened?’

“Never lose focus on your rival.” – said Mr. Shindo. – “The arrogant people are the first to lost a battle.”

A couple of meters from where they were.

BOOM

Each punch of Yra, make so much noise, that it surprises some other people training, and even some trainers.

‘I’m still damn weak, in my great times as a General in my former life, breaking enormous rocks was as easy as breathing for me, and now…’

[Good times.]

[What a monster!] – a weak voice.

Then, Yra looks at Logan.

<<<>>>

[POV Yra Draco Vanris]

Logan Seris.

He is an interesting person.

After a few days of the accident in that damn karaoke, Alyssa explained to me everything that happened there before I arrived.

“Oh, and there was a guy who confront that delinquent with a gun, I think he did it for a girl, it was a nice surprise to see.” – Alyssa said.

It was the second time I met Logan Seris.

To think that the brat who was beaten up without opportunity to get free, and who I helped and that caused me to get involve and in problems with the Shadow Gang, has the balls to do something like that.

Not even in my first life did I dare to do such a thing, and yet, he who looks weaker than my useless self of my first life, did it… it makes me wonder that there are really amazing people.

People like him.

He has principles, values, and wants to improve himself. All the qualities that my sixth life-self looked while recruiting rookies.

Also, since that accident, I have been analyzing people, seeing how much mana they have, normally they have minuscule amounts of mana, but there are people like Logan, who has a slightly higher amount of mana inside his body.

Is still insignificant, but it is superior to most of the rest of the people.

“Maybe he could be of help to me.” – I said, while again punching one of the sandbags.

BOOM

I’m still weak, but I’m also getting stronger.

My initial idea of a peaceful life was garbage since the beginning.

What happened to me was not normal!

A curse! A fucking curse!

Gangs of delinquents, people who can wield and use mana, and maybe more dangerous things that I still don’t know.

This world is not a peaceful one.

And I waste already a lot of time.

I have skills, and I know how to get stronger, but I am not arrogant, after seeing Doctor Walton, I comprehend that there are really such strong people in this world.

I need to improve faster, and to get even stronger than my past selves.

Training hard, day after day, to get what I want.

“The power to protect those I love and care for.”

But if something taught me my past lives, was that being alone would be my downfall, I need strong allies with me, and good people like Logan.

So, I made my decision, a decision I hope I never regret of.
