Chapter 123: Time-Skip

(Rodova Military Academy, 1.5 months later)

Leo exhaled slowly, adjusting the 175kg vest strapped to his torso. His muscles burned, but the weight no longer felt foreign, as after 1.5 months of the new hellish training regimen that he had been put under, his body had grown by leaps and bounds.

Just a month and a half ago, 120kg had felt like an unbearable load to him, however, now even under a 175 kg vest, he wasn't just enduring the weight—he was thriving under it.

Strength had never been his strong suit. He had always relied on speed, agility, and technique to win fights. But under Professor Marvin's merciless training, that weakness had been forcefully erased.

His body had changed. His endurance, power, and explosiveness had all skyrocketed, as his movements were sharper, his stamina deeper, and for the first time, he felt like he could actually overpower an opponent rather than just outmaneuver them.

And that difference was becoming evident in his daily combat bouts.

At first, sparring against Grandmaster-level opponents had been nothing short of a slaughter.

However, Now?

After 1.5 months of that hellish abuse, Leo found himself finally capable of occasionally fighting back, as the fights were no longer as one sided anymore.

Having adjusted to their speed, power and maneuvers, Leo had begun reading his opponents better, sensing the flow of their attacks before they even landed, and reacting with precision.

What used to be an automatic beatdown had evolved into something competitive.
