Chapter 8: CHP 8: Training P.2...

After heading home with Daniel, Jacob decided to stop by a sporting store in the city...
"Hey Jacob, don't you think we should, you know... Do some body-weight exercises before we move to weights?" Daniel asked, having done a little research first.
"In a way, yes; but there isn't any real particular order, people just say that stuff because weights can be dangerous if one doesn't use them properly. Very, dangerous..." He responded, having seen a sporting store up ahead.
'The thing is massive...' Jacob thought. Seeing what he was about to head into, he could tell his little escapade would be fun...
Entering the store, Jacob was greeted by the clinking sounds of weights, the hum of exercise machines, and the atmosphere of fitness enthusiasts exploring the aisles. To him, It looked as if it was a playground for anyone dedicated to a healthier lifestyle.
Daniel, still slightly bewildered, looked around at the myriad of exercise equipment. "So, what's the plan then?" he asked, a little curious
Jacob grinned, his eyes scanning the diverse workout gears. "The plan is to start small, well, you. Find what works for you best here, and gradually build up. No rush, no pressure." he added, stepping ahead...
Thinking to himself, 'I should pay for shipping, that should be way easier and it should also be immediate.' He quickly walked around, looking for basic barbells and dumbbells he could use.
Daniel, he just wandered behind.
After nearly an hour of choosing weights, Jacob had gotten adjustable dumbbells, barbells with different weights, and other equipment that could help with various variations of exercises as well. With shipping costs, everything amount around 3,000,000 won...
"Uhh, Jacob? Are you sure you need all this?" Daniel asked, seeing the price made him shit bricks...
"It isn't just for me; and yes, we do... It wasn't that bad in cost, I actually expected quite a bit more. But, it's well worth it. And, I'm literally rotten rich..." Jacob answered.
All this wouldn't dent his account at all, in fact, he had another 2 billion to spare if he remembered correctly...

After heading home, and giving the company his address, everything should arrive by an hours time, in the meantime, he could just chill with daniel and watch the little twerp push himself...
"What's the plan today again? Is it the same?" Daniel asked.
"Yup, but for now, change into your clothes and start stretching, you'll need it since I'm gonna really push you today..." Jacob smiled.
Daniel cried tier of agony instead, but nodded.
Unknown to daniel, Jacob realized that his friend didn't have a shed of fatigue on his body, 'I can't just tell him how busted his body really is... The guy should still be sore, but, he's walking perfectly fine.' Jacob realized that daniel was a specimen. in and of himself.
A cheat code in this already superhuman world...
"Anyway, I'll be watching you from afar, so you don't slack off." He reminded Daniel, watching him run.
Jacob was sure he could hear him complain, after running off...
.

After an hour and a half, the company finally called, their arrival slightly later than Jacob had anticipated, yet not tardy enough to pose a significant issue.
"Please sign here, and here..." the delivery man courteously requested, presenting a clipboard with paperwork for Jacob's signature. Jacob signed, signaling for the men to bring in the equipment...
After 10 minutes of unpacking, multiple large boxed came in, having weights and other equipment to use. Soon, Daniel had finished his little jog, arriving back at the entrance...
"Ahh, you're back, how was the run?"
"Not. Fun..." Daniel responded, panting quite hard.
Jacob chuckled, letting him inside.
'Hmm?... Daniel, he's already slimmed up a little?... I swear, those god like genetics...' Jacob noted, realizing that Daniel actually looked slimmer than before, even if it was a little.
Seeing this in real time was actually baffling to him, though, he did remember that when daniel trained with Sophia in the web-series, Daniel had lost around 90 pounds in a single week. If he remember correctly.
"You can take a break, I'll be training elsewhere for now, drinks are in the fridge, blended them myself." Jacob pointed out, walking away...
.

'Alright; If I add this one here, and then add this here... This should all be around 270kgs...' Jacob finished setting up his barbell, setting it a bit above his maximum limit...
"Alright.." He gripped, and lifted the weight, however he quickly found out that it barely moved off the ground. A 20kg difference was simply that massive.
He huffed, gripping harder, causing the weight to finally get higher, however he was straining himself... But with his ability, he could hold it there forever.
'My muscles feel like their dying, and not dying at the same time...' He mused in pain, the struggle became less after a few minutes had passed. Now, he could actually lift it properly...
Realizing this, he continued, 'Repetition time...' He began lifting, now finding it difficult in getting it any higher, but after a few seconds he did. Doing his first ever rep. By the end of the day, he wanted to get his strength up to the 1 ton Mark...
With his potential and the Blacklight working in tandem, he knew he could achieve it if he really pushed himself...
.
.
.
.
Throughout the rest of the day, Daniel had ran, and did some body-weight exercises to push himself straight through the day, taking 30 minutes to an hour break each time he did, and soon, it was 10pm in the night.
Having ended his final break, he took a shower and was ready to leave... But...
'I haven't seen Jacob after he went in his room. I can hear sounds but, did he not leave the whole day?' Daniel now curious. He sneaked closer, knocking...
"Daniel?" He heard Jacob say with some strain in his voice.
"Ahh, yeah, it's me... You alright in there? I haven't seen or heard you leave." He asked.
"I'm fine, I-Umm... I'm just chilling. I just finished up my set of exercises, so I'm good..." Jacob responded, the strain a little less in his voice than before.
"Alright... I-I'll see you tomorrow..." Daniel responded, leaving. Still a little curious as to what was up with his new friend...
"Oh crap! The convenience store! I'm late!" Daniel shouted, booking it out of the house. Well, as fast as his body could take him.
.
.
.
Having heard his front door open and close, Jacob finally left his room...
'Phew... Looks like he's gone...' Seeing no one, he relaxed himself.
Jacob looked down at his own body, "How am I going explain this?" He had changed again, this time. It was very much noticeable.
Having seen his appearance in the mirror, his body was literally changing before his eyes. His height grew once again, jumping to two more inches, his body was leaner than before with signs of muscles, and his looks had transformed a bit...
'I thought I would look more like big daniel... But, I still look like me, just better, in every way...' Jacob had realized that his looks had actually changed, his bone structure have actually slowly morphed into something that was a little attractive, but that was the least...
"Status..."

He had grown massively, and he still had two hours left before the day ended. He clenched his fists...
'At this rate, I really might hit the 1 Ton mark.' He looked at his stats, over what was almost two days worth of progress...
Perusing the panel a bit, he looked at what would be both his attack and movement speed...
'It rose, sharply... Does it scale relative to my strength and movement speed stat?' Not entirely sure, he just left it as is. Jacob was glad as of this moment, he was definitely in the superhuman territory.
Paired with his ridiculous reaction time, and other perks, people around his level had little to no chance at even touching him...
He smiled, the weights he had practically tripled his growth speed in terms of stat gain, but he'd likely hit his plateau again after a few more days of training intensely like he did today...
'My only issue now is martial arts techniques, and I know the perfect teacher...' He smiled, having a familiar yakuza leader in his mind... However, convincing the person might be the hardest part...
