Training in Hell with the Devil [6/9]

The weights she pulled out were specifically made for Mobsters. It was designed with a newly found heavy metal that was much more efficient than normal.

One of them was a thousand kilograms and Alice took out four.

'Sit there," she pointed toward the benchpress. He sat down and accepted his fate, but instead of sulking, he pumped himself up.

'This should be hard. My tolerance for doing pull-ups with cinder blocks is a lot higher. If I try I should be able to do ten reps'

Junya grabbed onto the bar while Alice had a single hand under to prevent him from getting crushed, in the event that his muscles gave out. She continued to order him with the correct posture.

He pushed with 80 per cent of his power but the Weights barely lifted. It took fifteen seconds for him to get it over into a single rep

"More Junya! What are you doing!" Alice ordered, urging him for more reps.

With a quick deep breath, he brought them down and up for another rep. He did this until he reached ten and felt Alice would take them off for him, but he was only met with shouting.

"What do you think you're doing! Push!"

Junya was forced to continue his reps under Alice's relentless 'motivation'.

Soon beyond odd He found himself at Three hundred and Alice continued urging him to continue, he himself was surprised and wanted to go as far as he could, but the weight felt heavier because of his weakened arm.

The bar dropped but not far before Alice caught it.

"That's good, We will do this for the next three days until you get used to the feeling of exhaustion and fatigue. You need to strengthen all your muscles too until you fight enough to stay in shape"

Alice explained.

"I can do it again since I did it already, I think I will try to go for 500"

Alice laughed!

"You mean a thousand? In an hour too because your arm isn't the only thing that needs training" Alice pointed to more gym equipment that Junya looked at like torture devices. He looked back at Alice who was smiling.

"Chop Chop!" He clapped walking him through forms of the other training.

Two days lasted forever for Junya. He was stuck doing constant workouts and getting two hours of rest in between. He was exhausted to know end continuously, unable to collapse of Alice would pick him up onto his feet.

During his first special break where Alice let him rest for six hours because she was doing something on the road. He felt like it was bliss, almost forgetting that the cameras all around him were watching if he slacked off.

He wished he could sleep but he needed to train. Under the watchful eye of the cameras, he carried out his daily workout. He struggled with it but managed to finish within four hours.

He was annoyed and frustrated knowing that Alice would likely find fault with his failure to complete within one hour. He rested for another six hours before training with his glaive.

So far he could only shadow fight, his hands were guided by instinct and he corrected his moves based on what Alice would reprimand him on. He worked on efficiency and stamina.

'I hate to admit it, my glaive feels faster, Alice's methods are crude but they show result'

Junya was happy with his own power, enough to praise Alice who worked him to the bone every chance she got.

He continued to practice his glaive by himself. Soon he grew tired and slept, while he never knew when it was night, his body served as his only timer.

In the morning, he got up and started his training like normal. He mixed in some exercise with his training to get himself ready. He began his day's training shy of expectations, but better than yesterday.

Now he was practising his glaive when he heard noises coming in from the outside. He ignored it because it could have been a car passing by but the noise came in his direction and sounded louder. It was the sound of beeping and engine blowing off.

'Is Alice back?'

He halted his training for a better listen. He could immediately tell there were two parties and a vehicle, based on the sounds, It might have been a truck.

Junya waited for a few more seconds, listening to the sound coming closer. More talking began and Junya could make out Alice's voice distinctively.

Soon the door opened and the noise became clearer.

"Bring it back!" A man shouted, directing the truck from behind. It was carrying a container that was. Its sides were double-reinforced with extra metal running from the top to the bottom. Carrying it was a long eighteen wheeler trailer that roared with a powerful engine.

"Steady! Steady! Stop!"

The truck blew off steam and came to a stop. "Hey Alice, ain't right here good enough?"

"Right here is fine," Alice shouted back.

"Make sure you take care of those things. It wasn't easy getting 'em huh?"

"It's fine, money comes and goes," Alice quipped.

While they spoke other workers leapt from the truck and began separating the container from the trailer. The men were having some trouble making them fumble a little.

"Are you sure I can't help them?"

"Ah they'll be fine," The Man shoed her. Soon after, they finished unloading the trailer and loaded it onto the truck.

Alice bid farewell to them as they pulled out front the property. As he drove away Junya could hear the engine off in the distance. This was overshadowed by the closing of the gate and Alice's return.

Junya stopped daydreaming and went to practice his glaive.

"Hey Jun, come over here." Junya knowingly answered to his new nickname. He walked over and stole a few glances at the container. It was black and he had no idea what the contents could be with his knowledge.

"How has training been?"

Junya answered truthfully, telling her his results in detail, which she could have found out from camera footage.

"Hmm, That's good, working out is always good..." Alice nodded. "How is your Glaive coming along"

"It's a little slow, I brushed up on what you told me the first time. I use it mostly like any other pole weapon which made it easier. So far, I would say I have a better grasp of"

"That's good, you can find a teacher on that weapon for some pointer. If you're lucky enough to find one"

Alice said. Junya nodded at her plan which crossed his mind. They talked a few more minutes about other things regarding training.

"It seems like your ready enough," Alice said with a big sigh.

"Ready for what?"

"That" Alice vaguely said pointing to the container. She walked closer to it and swung her fist hammering its frame, rattling the whole thing.
