Chapter 2: Training Arc

After finally regaining his senses, Jin-Ho couldn't believe how effortlessly he had pulled off the move.

"What? It was that easy to perform?" he asked, his disbelief evident in his voice.

Taeyoung couldn't help but slap his head in exasperation.

"No, idiot. You're a genius," he replied with a mix of frustration and admiration.

"Genius? What??" Jin-Ho was baffled. "Lately, I've been getting D- on my tests, so I don't know what you're talking about."

Taeyoung struggled to contain his amusement.

"You're a genius in fighting," he explained.

"The move you just performed is one of the hardest moves. It takes practice. And not only did you copy me, but you also perfected the kick. I admit that I still make mistakes while performing that move, but you... you're different."

Confusion clouded Jin-Ho's expression. "So, can you teach me now... ?" he ventured, hoping for a positive response.

"I will teach you," Taeyoung affirmed. "As far as I can see, I have no problem teaching you moves since you can just copy them and perfect them already. However, what concerns me is your body. I observed that after performing that move, you were already at your limit and exhausted."

Jin-Ho furrowed his brows in confusion. "So?"

Taeyoung sighed internally, wondering how Jin-Ho could be so clueless.

"I have never seen a man this idiotic and dumb in my whole life," he thought to himself before replying, "Well, basically, first I will have to train your body. Once you have a decent physique, then I can show you moves. Wait... no, not teach, but just demonstrate them to you, since you have a skill for copying."

Jin-Ho nodded, starting to grasp the concept.

"When will we start?" he asked eagerly, ready to embark on this new phase of his training.

"Tomorrow," Taeyoung replied. "I will push your body to its limits."

Jin-Ho's excitement dimmed slightly. "It's going to be easy, right?" he inquired cautiously.

Taeyoung hesitated for a moment before responding, "Kind of.."

Day 1:

Jin-Ho was having a hard time; it felt like hell. Every muscle in his body screamed in protest as he pushed himself through Taeyoung's grueling training regimen.

Sweat poured down his brow, his breaths coming in ragged gasps as he struggled to keep up with the relentless demands placed upon him.

Day 2-5:

Jin-Ho still felt like he was being tortured alive.

Each day brought new levels of physical and mental exhaustion as he pushed himself to the brink and beyond.

Every morning brought renewed dread as he faced another day of pain and suffering, but he refused to give up, determined to prove himself worthy of Taeyoung's teachings.

Day 6-13:

Jin-Ho began to notice changes in his body.

Before, running for just five seconds was enough to make him feel tired, and one minute was enough to make him pass out.

But now, his stamina had improved dramatically. He could run for twenty minutes without feeling tired, his muscles burning with exertion but still pushing forward.

Despite his newfound strength, however, his training only grew more challenging as Taeyoung pushed him to his limits and beyond.

Day 13-25:

On the first day, Jin-Ho had felt like he would die just from doing simple exercises.

But now, he felt different. As if his training was a cakewalk compared to what he had endured before.

He attacked each day with renewed vigor, his body adapting to the punishing workouts as he pushed himself harder and harder, determined to become the best version of himself.

Day 25-31:

He was no longer slim; his body had transformed into a muscular powerhouse.

His strength, speed, and agility had all increased dramatically, and he felt like a completely different person.

Not only had his physique changed, but he had also grown taller, and his once ordinary face now bore the handsome features of a true martial artist.

Final Day:

As Jin-Ho stood before Taeyoung on the final day of his training, he couldn't help but feel a sense of pride in how far he had come.

Taeyoung looked at him with a mixture of admiration and surprise, remarking, "You are more than prepared. I didn't think you would grow so much in just one month. Perhaps that's the benefit of having the blood of a strong man within you."

Jin-Ho smiled, knowing that he had earned every bit of praise that had been bestowed upon him. He was ready to face whatever challenges lay ahead, confident in his newfound strength and abilities.
