Hero System! Transported to Another World

Chapter 74: Another Fail



[Morning Training initiated]

Alex jolted awake from the voice of a woman softly speaking into his ears. "What?!" Alex looked shocked and surprised for a second but he soon realized what was happening when he looked at the prompts in front of him.

[10 Kilometer run]

[300 pushups]

[300 squats]

[300 sit ups]

[20 minutes skipping]

[1 hour remaining]

[59 minutes remaining, failure to comply will lead to player debuff and decrease in HP and MP]

"Fuck, not again. This time I will do it!" Alex roared as he quickly wore his clothes and picked up the skipping rope. He went down the elevator and quickly ran to the doors. He paused for a brief second when He Noticed that there were a few men in black suits, armed with weapons at the entrance of the hotel. Alex looked at the reception where Rachel was looking at Alex as well. 

[55 Minutes remain]

however, Alex didn't greet Rachel, more like he couldn't. He didn't want to get a debuff. 'I'll need to be at my peak before I do the challenge to get Hades… I'll need to finish this training before the time runs out.' Alex thought as he ran out of the Hotel. 

The guards looked at Alex with a weird expression but they let him go outside to train. As Alex started to run around the Hotel, one of the guards spoke, "it's 5 in the morning but he has the energy to wake up and start to train… And look at that speed, These Awakened are truly special compared to us…" The other Guard nodded and watched as Alex trained. 

After finishing his run, Alex quickly got to skip. "This one I can't do anything about the time, I'll just need to save my energy and skip at a slow pace…" Alex said as he watching the timer count down 20 minutes. After 20 minutes passed, Alex got to Doing pushups, "I might make it!" Alex roared as he started to do pushups.

100 pushups in, Alex's face already started to turn red. But he continued to push through. 

200 pushups in, Alex's hands were burning. He was visibly shaking. 

"300!" Alex roared as he did the final 300th pushup. But Alex could not get up, his hands were tired and he felt like he had no strength left.

Alex looked at the time and was shocked, "10 minutes left… I still have 300 situps and 300 squats…" His face drained of color when Alex realized that he didn't have enough time. 

But still pushed on and jumped on the floor to do situps. He didn't want to give up. 

A few bystanders noticed Alex, "He's back at it again, the very next day… I can't help but commend him for his hard work training. Takes some real effort doing all that." 

"He must be really excited after becoming an awakened… I guess that news yesterday didn't even let him slow down a bit. He has some resolve…"

Another Man questioned, "did you see the news? It was scary to think that some new terrorist organization attacked a news channel to ask for new people to join them…"

A woman shook her head and spoke, "but their words were partly true… I did hear that the things he said were true… I guess everything good in this world just corrupts at the end…"

The man replied, "that's true but looking at the bigger picture, The awakened are good people. Some bad people also joined them and ruined their name but they quickly threw that guy in prison… Well, whatever, I'm sure that the Brotherhood Of Freedom was some new terrorist organization who want more powers to themselves… It doesn't matter, the government will take care of them…" The man said as he shrugged and continued on his path. 

The woman nodded and continued on her own way.

[Training Incomplete]

[Debuff applied, 5 percent reduction in Health Points and Mana Points.}

"Fuck." Alex cursed as he heard the voice. ' I knew that I wouldn't have gotten it but still, the cumulative pain from everything before just slows me down when I get to this point… But increasing my strength and other stats helped me a lot, My running speed increased so now I can do that 10 kilometer run in 18 minutes instead of 20 minutes… and I got to 100 situps before the time ended… I'm sure that as I get more used to everything and if I didn't waste the time that it took for me to get here to train… I will be able to do these all. That's the day I go and do the Hades Challange.' Alex felt more confident. 

He slowed his pace and slowly completed the rest of the training. 

After finishing up, Alex walked inside the Hotel and looked over the reception. He saw Rachel looking at the window with a pout. 

"What happened?" Alex asked as he walked over to the reception. Rachel still continued to look at the window with a pout. Alex scratched his head and spoke, "I apologize for not greeting you earlier, I wanted to keep to a tight schedule of finishing everything from 5 am to 6am so I didn't want to waste a second. I came here to greet you…" Alex smiled, hoping to get some reply. 

Rachel, still pouting, slowly turned to Alex. "Well, You should have told me… I was worried for you after hearing about this mind control… And to see that you just ignored me earlier, I got a bit angry." Rachel answered while still pouting. 

Alex laughed and replied, "I'm sorry for that but I'm here talking to you… I'm all fine, nothing happened to me. I'm feeling better than ever. And I hope you're feeling good as well…" 

Rachel smiled back and nodded, "I'm also fine… But I think you should go and take a shower now… the carpet might get ruined from all the sweat dripping from your body…" she laughed as she looked at the all sweaty Alex.
