149 Your stamina is too much

The life of a pre-enlist student for the army would be relatively considered calm and easygoing when compared to the graduate enlists.

They had boring but important classes which most didn’t take seriously. The training was mandatory but it wasn’t as extensive. They weren’t on a strict dietary plan with military control over everything.

Plus they could always go home at the end of the day which was great. They weren’t forced to sleep on a military-approved single bed that was so hard you would think you were sleeping on a rock

On Starnet they described pre-enlist school days as a vacation before the hard work actually begins. It was like the Christmas holidays before January comes knocking with bills and problems. One citizen had compared it to boy scout camp.

But these past few days things had taken a drastic change. The class schedule had been reevaluated and now they had to do twice the amount of work in the same amount of time plus training hours had increased.

Most could manage the pressure from the lectures but almost everyone was bought to tears in training. Of course, veterans like Yi Chen, Hela, and Evan adapted easily. In fact, this was in no way comparable to the training they subjected themselves to during their personal training time.

Zi Han on the other hand endured it but he was sore all over. He not only had to follow Yi Chen’s training plan but he also had to endure hardcore training in simulated scenarios with his mech. Because his mental power was ranked B he had to work twice as hard.

As soon as class ended Zi Han was the first to pack away his mech. He wanted to take a quick shower and pass by the cake shop before reaching home. But before Zi Han could take a step outside that door, Yi Chen blocked his path.

“Where are you going?” asked Yi Chen with an arched brow like he had already read Zi Han’s mind.

.....

Zi Han was running away from the private training they had scheduled after class. Normally he would be grateful that Yi Chen was helping him out. In fact, he was very grateful when he saw that plan specifically designed for him.

But not only did Yi Chen train him by pushing his limits he also wasn’t allowed to quit halfway. He couldn’t eat certain things and had to consume lots of fish and mental power supplements.

For a carefree person who had lived half his life not caring about his diet or training hours, this simply tortured. He was also getting drilled in regular training so yes he decided to run away today.

His muscles were stiff for the past couple of days and his mother called him a zombie a couple of times. He had even begged his grandfather to hire a masseuse for him and not the humanoid kind. He wanted a real human to knead his muscles to relieve the tension.

But instead, his grandfather had recommended a cream instead. He also told him that if he used the medical capsule to heal himself it would affect his muscle development.

In his grandfather’s words, muscle ache from exercising is not an injury. After aching for so long he decided to skip training but who would have thought he would get caught.

Zi Han laughed nervously while taking a small step to the side. “I am going to the bathroom. Am I not even allowed to do that?” asked Zi Han trying to guilt Yi Chen into moving out of the way.

Yi Chen stretched out his hand preventing him from leaving. With a slight tilt of his head, he stared at Zi Han as though asking him to speak the truth.

Being stared at like that Zi Han licked his canine in frustration before saying, “Ah fine... Chen-ge everything aches. You truly know how to work a person to the ground. Your stamina is too much for some lowly person like me to endure.”

Hela who was raking her fingers through her hair with her back towards them, “.....”

What the fuck had she just heard? For you to understand what she meant try and pay attention to this conversation without visuals.

“..... I can’t handle it. Chen-ge, you don’t even take breaks in between. It’s hours and hours of you going and going. By the time we are done, I would be close to passing out. I can’t even walk straight. I walk with a limp and my family is starting to get suspicious.”

Hela, “What the fuck!!”

She spun around and saw the pair looking at each other. One was complaining while holding his waist and the other wore a stern expression but if you looked closely there was an air of smugness on his face.

Her fujoshi heart was tickled that she wanted to scream but if she wanted to see more of this fluffy scene she had to remain composed. Thus she brought forth all the self-control she could gather and continued watching the show.

“.... so yes, I know it’s ungrateful but I am sore all over and grandpa said I can’t use the healing capsule. That is why I was planning on running away and skipping today’s training. Chen-ge, can you at least let...,” said Zi Han before his sentence was abruptly cut short.

That is because Yi Chen had taken out a fully mended Mr. Twiggles.

Zi Han, “.....”

“How?” he asked while reaching over to grab his baby that didn’t even manage to make it home before it was torn apart. But before he could touch it Yi Chen moved his hand away and said,

“I will give it to you under the condition that we have shared custody and I am talking about half-half. You can have three days and the next three days it will stay with me.”

“Class president Chen what custody. That’s my shark..... and who are you calling it? It’s obvious he is a boy shark.”

Hela, “.....”

These two even had a baby together? Okay fine, it’s not a baby baby but a plushy. Still, Zi Han was the dad and Yi Chen was the father. Fascinating!
