Chapter 13

My name is Kagehira Aida, forty years old.

I'm the owner of this Silver Man Gym, and I'm really angry right now.

Because my daughter, Riko Aida, the jewel I've been raising for eighteen years, is now walking alongside a boy in a school uniform.

That smile, like a sharp dagger, pierces deep into the old father's heart.

"Daddy!" Finding a corner, the father, Riko, waved in that direction and walked directly to Rei.

"Riko, why do you have time to come to Daddy after school today?" Seeing his daughter approaching, Kagehira's face instantly lit up with a smile, blooming like a chrysanthemum.

"Well, mainly because Rei-kun wanted to join a gym, so I brought him here," Riko spoke.

Rei-kun?

Calling him so intimately?

Riko had brought the guys from the High School basketball team here before, but that was collective training. Now it's different; she's specially brought one person! The old father glanced at Rei with a vigilant look.

"So, you want to join the gym? Just let the front desk know, and we'll arrange a trainer for you right away. Whether it's for shoulders, back, or comprehensive combat, we have specialized trainers in our gym," Kagehira said with a beaming smile.

If Riko wasn't around, he might have directly kicked the person out.

"No, a trainer is not necessary. I just want to get a gym membership to use the equipment," Rei spoke. His wallet isn't a bottomless pit; it's going to be empty by the end of this month.

"For newcomers who haven't exercised much, it's very easy to get injured without the assistance of a trainer," Kagehira said seriously, "I know you probably think you have good physical fitness and won't get hurt. But every guy who got injured thought the same before they got hurt. With this kind of mentality, I won't approve of you becoming Riko's boyfriend!"

"How could I entrust Riko to you!"

"Damn it!"

In the end, Kagehira directly cursed.

Rei: "..."

Riko: "..."

"Daddy! Rei-kun and I don't have that kind of relationship!" Reiko Aida's face first turned red, then she looked at Kagehira in anger and apologized to Rei with her hands together, "Sorry Rei-kun, my father often speaks without thinking. Please don't take it to heart."

The fifth time she's put her hands together today.

"Eh, isn't that so?" Kagehira scratched his head, looking at the slightly reddened Riko, and immediately became at a loss, "Riko, Daddy was wrong, Daddy was really wrong! Forgive Daddy~ Riko, how can I live without you~"

Rei raised an eyebrow,

This is being totally doting on his daughter, how terrifying.

After a lot of effort, he finally coaxed Riko.

"So you're Rei, huh? Hello, hello, I'm Riko's father, Kagehira Aida. After getting your card, you can just call me Coach," Kagehira put on a kindly smile and said to Rei.

Meanwhile, Riko, in Kagehira's blind spot, stuck her tongue out at Rei.

Rei raised an eyebrow; this was all just an act, huh?

"Alright."

Following Kagehira, Rei returned to the front desk.

He filled out a form in front of the counter.

"For first-time members, there's a discount. Five thousand yen for three months. After three months, the gym fee will return to normal, which is seven thousand yen for three months. If you renew on a monthly basis, there's no discount, of course, if you hire a trainer, it's extra," the woman at the counter stated the gym's fee standards.

Rei touched his wallet. He still had ten thousand yen left for this month. Getting a card would mean taking away half of his money.

The key is, it's only the second day of the month!

He gritted his teeth and persisted, "Then let's start with three months."

"Okay, that'll be five thousand yen. Wishing you a pleasant experience."

After the registration, Rei officially gained the right to use the gym's equipment.

"Now that you're a member here, you can use the gym's equipment as you like. Just make sure you don't damage the equipment or harm others. But always remember to warm up before exercising to prevent injuries."

Thinking of the events with Ai and Hana at noon today, what if they got injured during warm-up?

"Congratulations on becoming a member, Rei-kun. Unfortunately, without a trainer...," Riko said to Rei, glancing at Kagehira on the sly.

After all, she's his own daughter. Kagehira could still understand this bit of scheming.

He scratched his head, "Alright, since you're Riko's classmate, would you like to do a physical fitness test? Aside from that, the training plan will be quite simple."

After all, being a former national athlete carries weight in this territory of Tokyo

"That's fine, I'll leave it to you, Coach." Rei nodded.

Compared to ordinary people, his strength is indeed too overwhelming. Placed in the society of his previous life, he would definitely be seen as an extraterrestrial, perhaps even captured for research. But in this world... Baki has appeared, and the strength of those martial artists is like that of monsters.

They don't need to hide their strength, and neither does Rei. Hiding his abilities is not his style.
