The door of Cale's home closed slowly and gently, making sure the foo- The bread didn't fall
He settled the bread on the table in the kitchen, filtering out the sandwich his eyes sparkled at, his fingers tore the shield that blocked his hunger-infested mouth, revealing the prized possession
"It's so delicious~"
The flavor of the sandwich hit the mouth and taste buds like a tsunami. It was delicious that each bite ascended one to higher and higher levels of pure bliss
Cale bit into the sandwich once again and gulped it down.
Drip
The sauce oozed out of the sandwich and fell down on his plate, he looked down at the plate that was stained with sauce and dipped the sandwich in it.
He opened his mouth to take the long sauce dipped sandwich and eat it once again. Saliva kept flowing out of his mouth in steady drips
Crunch~
'I need another~'
Cale was once again met with bliss once again as his dopamine filled brain desperately tried to savor the taste of the sandwich, taste buds licking the once crisp bread, the lettuce and the tomatoes that were in the sandwich were all perfect, each bite seductively inviting Cale to insert the sandwich again and eat up all of its contents
After not even three minutes the sandwich was gone, even the world held its breath at the sheer voracity and gluttony displayed as if it had never been there in the first place.
"..."
'I ate it too quickly....'
Cale begun to lament himself for not fully enjoying it longer by taking his time, it was a cold sandwich so it wouldn't matter if he ate slowly
Sighing, he got up from his seat and washed his sauce stained hands with shampoo and grabbed his phone, unlocking it he searched on the Internet videos about 'how to become more flexible'
In Cale's defense, everyone started from somewhere, you might be retarded now but that fate isn't set in stone for life
The screen flickered and was instantly met with a lot of results.
"Today I will just focus on how to make myself more flexible than before"
Which Is exactly what he did, he started watching as many tutorials, started copying their exercises albeit more crudely than what they did. But he was getting somewhere
After watching many videos Cale came to realize just how Important stretching your body was, he tried to familiarize himself by doing exercises all day long while also doing a little bit of cardio.
The day passed by quickly and School started, like the other days he found himself In Gardenia
Cale met up with Fiend quickly and wrote on a piece of paper on what to do about the task he assigned
One needed directions after all to avoid misunderstandings did they not?
[Watch the Courtyard until you see someone, make sure a teacher is close to you as well]
Fiend's head drooped slightly for some reason but he agreed nonetheless
Before he started moving Cale's hand rested on his shoulder to wait. He started scribbling on the paper, pen gliding on the blank normal parchment with intense speed.
[Do not go outside of the school building no matter what happens If you do find the one I'm looking for, you come to me. Got it?]
He nodded and turned around to start walking, his steps lighter than a dove.
'Is he in a good mood?'
It was impossible to tell but it looked like he was from his body language
Putting a break to the thoughts he started stretching.
Crack!
A crack was heard from his knees and elbows, the feeling of bones cracking as ligaments stretched felt good, but he knew it wasn't something good. According to the internet anyway
'Well they could be wrong'
These were facts from the Internet after all.
The pointless thoughts eventually ceased along with the murmurs and started exercising with this newbie plan for now that was very, very basic even for even a newbie
5 sets and 30 repetitions of push ups
5 sets and 35 repetitions of squats
If there was any leftover time Cale would go for cardio or other exercises
This would be his schedule along with the gym he already goes to, a routine he'd have to force onto myself no matter what happens. It didn't seem intense at first, but recess lasts for 10 minutes, and Cale would have to do all of this In 10 minutes. Of course he's not that much of an idiot to not exercise back at home, he would do it in Gardenia to pass the time since well....he was still scared shitless
'I don't expect myself to do it all perfectly on the first day, but I'll be able to do it In due time'
The muscles of a newbie would get sore fast after just 2 sets after all, and though Cale does go to the gym, doing the exercises never really changed his performance so he stopped doing them and only lightly exercised even though he was told to always stretch before coming to the gym
Anyways, he got down on the floor and started doing push ups. He didn't immediately go to stretch since it was better to do it at home and what kind of lunatic would
'Everyone starts somewhere right?' He thought to himself, letting his body fall down steadily and almost touch the ground.
"Huap!"
The sturdy body pushed itself up and then let it fall down to the floor In a steady, calm and slow motion.
This motion was several times.
"Ngh!"
Cale's muscles felt torn and worn after almost finishing a set, but it wasn't unbearable so his body fell to the ground slowly again and rose again, slowly.
"Ugh.."
One set was finished and with that Cale fell to the ground relaxing for a while before getting up again and started doing squats.
Cale's body was already trimmed to handle this kind of stress, so while it seemed difficult, he could recover fairly quickly
"Hup!"
Standing up, with a grunt, he lowered his upper body until it felt just right and raised his body In a controlled, slow manner.
Carlos with silent steps passed by, patrolling and seeing a wild Cale doing squats with a serious face, it was so serious that people would think he was training for a secret technique to get the optimal efficient way on how to use the toilet without the water touching the rear
This repeated action defiled Carlos mind further until he started walking again, looking outside to ease his dirty thoughts until Cale finished the set.
"Easier than I thought but"
Legs were bent forward slightly, every time Cale lowered his body he would feel a searing pain in the knees, it didn't feel sore, just very painful. It made it difficult but that's it, it doesn't compare to being impaled in the stomach
"This is going to take a while"
Stretching and hyping himself up, he fell to the floor again and started doing push ups after waiting a couple of seconds.
The moment he finished the 2nd set.
"I barely finished that..."
Cale's arms felt even more sore, they were completely drained and wringed out of every bit of energy. He started doing squats again and tried his best to meet the quota that he set for himself
However in the end just as Cale feared
"I'm back already?"
Time had ran out and before he knew it, he was back In his classroom, sweating.
Quickly, he dug his head Into the desk, frustrated that he couldn't do something that simple.
"I'm really out of shape..."
The words that came out of his mouth were anything but good. Not being in physical top form in a school that threatens to take at least a limb out of you every day was like trying to run away from a predator with a unicycle you didn't know how to use
'How am I going to get through this?'
Cale asked this in a pleading voice, but only fate was allowed to view his future and it wouldn't tell him the solution, would you after all ask something you cannot perceive the solution to your problems?
