The next day, it was half past five in the morning.
Under the dual influence of the body's biological clock and last night's caffeine, Higashinohara woke up on time on the tatami in the rented apartment. Everything seemed to be as usual.
After getting up quickly and washing up, Higashinohara looked at the calendar. Today is Monday, November 22, 1121 in the Tianyuan calendar. The day after tomorrow is Labor Thanksgiving Day, the national holiday of Wano.
If I remember correctly, I had one day off.
Speaking of which, he took a hot bath after returning home from the night rain last night.
Before taking a shower, he put the tempura, bento and a can of coffee bought from the convenience store downstairs in the microwave and heated them for five minutes. After taking a shower, he moved the small table and sat on the tatami, shivering violently.
The wind and rain were pouring in the night sky outside the balcony window, hitting the window glass diagonally, leaving water stains as mottled as the meridians of leaves. Under the warm yellow light, Higashinohara was eating a hot bento and drinking hot coffee in the small living room.
But there is an inexplicable sense of peace of mind and happiness.
Maybe he is also a person who is easily satisfied.
After eating the bento, Higashinohara tidied up a little and lay down on the tatami. Before going to bed, he tried the elementary [Spiritual Healing] he had just obtained tonight, and the effect was unexpectedly good.
The tense nerves after the life-and-death fight seemed to be wrapped and gently soothed by an invisible force as gentle as maternal amniotic fluid. The fatigue in Higashinohara's body muscles seemed to be gradually relieved.
Lying on the tatami, he fell asleep on time at eleven o'clock and slept until dawn.
Right now, I just feel full of energy and my body is very light. I don't leave any stress or fatigue until the next day.
Higashinohara is still very satisfied with this.
I remember that when he first started exercising two days ago, every time he woke up in the morning, his muscles were so sore that he couldn't lift his arms. He had to rely on one breath to continue the next day's exercise.
The intensity of last night's battle should be several times that of usual, but [Spiritual Healing] allowed him not to leave stress and fatigue until the next day, so he could continue to increase training intensity with confidence in the future.
Well, it seems like we can improve the amount today.
Higashinohara's current training intensity is "60 push-ups, 60 sit-ups, 60 squats, plus 6 kilometers of running every day." After thinking about it for a while, he decisively added 10 more to each group, adding another 6 kilometers.
The run turned into a 7km run.
After finishing the first three projects at home in the morning, Higashinohara took a shower and looked at the physical and strength attributes that had increased by +0.1 again. This feeling of slow improvement made him energetic and calm.
Although the attribute evaluations given in the attribute panel of the [Sin Manual] are extremely weak and weak, Higashinohara has probably figured it out now - the attribute values of normal people are almost distributed below 10 points, while those with abilities will be everywhere.
The attributes that he is good at are particularly outstanding.
For example, the physical system corresponds to physique or strength, the spiritual system corresponds to will, the telekinesis system corresponds to perception, and the affinity of various energy particles in the elemental system, etc...
Although Higashinohara's current improvement in all aspects except for his relatively outstanding agility is relatively small, he is different from other ability users. His strength, physique, and even will are also slowly increasing in a small way. For the time being, no one else has been improved to a certain level.
[Bottleneck] after the critical point.
That is equivalent to the comprehensive development of all attributes, which is almost impossible to happen to other ability users who specialize in a certain area.
Although as the saying goes, more is more valuable than more.
But Higashinohara believes that this will not be wasted effort.
The various functions of the human body are a whole. When other attributes are also improved and exceed the average, attributes such as strength, agility, and constitution will complement each other and will definitely be very helpful in improving the overall combat effectiveness.
At that time, even if he faces an enemy whose ability level is higher than his, he may be able to rely on the assistance of other attributes to deal with it. If the level is not much different, he may still be able to win...
Of course, you also need to keep a clear head.
...
Higashinohara thought about this along the way.
After getting off the tram, we walked through various downhill and uphill slopes. Soon, Takehara Minami Private Academy was in front of us, and there was a disciplinary committee at the door checking the grooming for the new week.
Higashinohara is also regarded as the "Elder of Three Dynasties" in the Discipline Committee of Takehara Minami Private Academy, but this is not something worth boasting about. In the past, if it weren't for his outstanding appearance and handsomeness, it is difficult to be ignored by everyone, and probably no one would be willing to do so.
Remember his existence.
When he arrived at the door, Higashinohara discovered that it was a former classmate, Noriko Nishikawa, who has now been promoted to Class C of the second year.
Appearance can only be considered above average,
The figure is very surging.
But they didn't talk much when they were in the same class last year. Higashinohara just wanted to walk in with his handbag in hand. It was quite strange to say hello to someone he didn't know well.
Unexpectedly, as soon as they arrived at the door, Nishikawa Noriko took the initiative to say hello to Higashinohara.
"Good morning, Higashino-san."
"Uh...good morning Saikawa-san."
Higashinohara was stunned for a moment, then smiled and nodded as a greeting.
Nishikawa Noriko smiled very naturally and said, "I heard from Shikume that you performed very well in the practical class last week. Keep up the good work, Higashino-san. I look forward to your performance next spring."
Shikame must be Shikame Ryoka in the class. The three of them were in the same class last year.
However, he and Nishikawa Noriko had never spoken to each other before when they bumped into each other at school. Why did they suddenly become so warm and encouraging today?
Don’t reach out and hit the smiling person.
Higashinohara also smiled when he heard this and said, "Thank you, Nishikawa-san, let's cheer together."
At this time, some classmates came in from behind. Noriko Nishikawa, who was on duty, seemed to have something to say. She glanced at Higashinohara twice and opened her mouth. When she came back to her senses, she found that there was only a retreating figure in her field of vision.
The girl suddenly felt a sense of loss...
...
After entering the teaching building, Higashinohara put his bag in the classroom and did not rush to change his shoes. He went to the playground and ran seven kilometers as usual.
What was somewhat beyond his expectation was that he was not the only one on the previously empty rubber track this morning. There were also a few familiar faces from Class F in the first year.
However, when several people saw Higashinohara, they all avoided their eyes in a somewhat evasive manner. It was like the subtle embarrassment of being caught peeking at other people's papers in an examination room.
Higashinohara also understood somewhat in his heart.
Most of the repeaters in Class F in the first year are still very motivated. In the past, they were only limited by their talents, and there was no hope for them despite their hard work. They could only mess around like Higashinohara in the past.
But now the "worst bad boy" in the class has surpassed them all at once through the stupid method of running. He got up from wallowing in the quagmire and said, "I'll take the first step, everyone."
This makes people feel very uncomfortable.
We agreed to put it all together,
But you got up secretly.
no!
Isn’t it just running?
If he can do it, so can we!
By this week, many "broken souls" in the first-year F repeating class were severely inspired by Higashinohara, and that's why Higashinohara saw this scene this morning...
There was something funny in his heart,
A little bit regretful...
Running may not be suitable for everyone.
There's another thing that makes Higashinohara feel strange - he ran past the northwest corner of the playground several times this morning, and he didn't see that familiar petite figure training in Suzhen until the end of training.
Are you sick today?
It doesn't seem right. I heard people say that Shikame Ryoka used to grit her teeth and insist on training even if she was a girl on those few mornings every month.
I don't know what's going on today.
He shook his head and didn't think too much.
After finishing the run, Higashinohara returned to the classroom. Unexpectedly, the class teacher Tadokawa Asuka asked for leave this morning. In the morning, the class monitor held the morning meeting on his behalf and verified attendance on the podium.
Shikame Ryoka's seat was vacant in the front row of the classroom. When the monitor called her name, she said that Shikume's classmate had something to do at home and asked for leave. Higashinohara, who was sitting by the window in the back row, called her name and didn't pay much attention to the content of the morning meeting.
With nothing to do, Higashinohara remembered that after the mission was completed last night, Djimon Hounsou and Masaru Kusao were included in the second and third pages of the "Guilty Manual" and had profile pictures.
After returning home from a long journey last night, I was too tired to watch it, so Higashinohara clicked on the cutaway image of Kusao Masaru.
