Finally the third and last set of the push ups are finished I can rest for a little while. And to recover ill drink my super recovery drink.
Gulp
gulp
Gulp
Bleuug
I still can't get used to the taste. I put all the best herbs to recover my energy like ginseng, green tea, some roots and to top it off sage. You have no ideas how hard it was to collected all these herbs.
But I'm think I'm rested enough. For the next work out is to strengthen my core and my impact resistant. I thought about what else I could add to my regiment because i still have time to spare to add another training and imapct resistance is one. If you dont have strong body to take a punch or withstand a long ordeal battle you won't survive.But how could you do that yourself, you'll need a sparring partner?.
To accommodate for not having a sparring partner I thought if need to get hit by something hard I only need something that's heavy and can hit me.
First I thought of running in a tree but that didn't work out too well. I need something that could strength my core and train my impact resistance. So the brilliant plan came to my head. What if I hanged a big tree log and let it swing into me while i stand and try to stop.
But I hit a big problem and that's it can only be used once until you have to place and tie it back on which takes a long time. So I came up with another brilliant plan all I have to Is make it spin it around like a windmill.
I wrapped a strong wire around the big log and hanged it. But to start the thing I have to pushed the log so it can start spinning around. and that requires a lot of strength. Like monsterous amount. But I can add strength training to my regiment if I start doing this. So it's a plus plus.
I'll drank my super energising drink to boost my energy and than I started.
Gulp
gulp
Gulp
Bleughh
Still disgusting but I feel full of vigor. I stood imfront of the log and prepared my self to charge at it.
Aaaaghhh
I screamed out loud and ram my self into it. I pushed and pushed with my arms but it was not moving. I pushed my legs into the soil making a hole. I felt all my veins and blood pumping.
aaaghh
I screamed with all my fury and it started to move. Step by step I stated to move it as I near the end. I gave it a massive push.
Swoosh
The log started to swing around like a wins mill. I moved out the way to collapse on the.
Aggh
I feel all my muscles straining and hurting. That log felt like a boulder. I rated for a bit until I could feel my legs could start moving.
I prepared my self to jump into the logs swings. I just have to time ot right. As I saw it go up I jumped quickly In front of it's trajectory. As I saw it coming I tensed my whole body and preaped my self.
Bang
I tried to stop the log but I got chucked away like fly. When I hit the ground I felt myself gasping for air.
Hugghh ahhh
As I calmed down and catched my breath I laid on the ground taking in all the pain throughout my body. The pain was constant and I knew I have to do it again util I last atleast three seconds. I still had forty minutes before I head to academy.
I got up on my feet while staggering. I again waited until it's at the top and jumped in. As it was head towards me I tensed every part of my body. I gripped the ground with my feet as tight ad I could. I tightened all my muscles.
Bang
One two.
Aaaghh
I was thrown yet again in the air but this time I tried not landing on my back. As I landed on to my stomach I knew I had to do it again.
As time went on I was hit by the log fiveteen times before I lasted three seconds. I went prepared myself to go to the academy. While I walked towards I closed my eyes an concentrated on swirling my chakra to make it spin. As I did this I lnew this was going to be difficult.I'll have to master doing this like it's second nature. I've got a long road ahead of me.
As got into the class room I sat in my seat while concentrating doing my spiraling training.while trying to concentrate I felt somebody was watching this irritated me and caused me to stop my concentration.
I opened my eyes and looked to the right where Helena and allison where seats were and helena was siiting by herself.
"Is something wrong? You do know that you broke my concentration" said loket annoyed
"What are you on about? Concentrating? And how am I at fault for it" said Helena.
"Is something on my face that is interesting" said loket.
"Well sorry. if I was looking at your face I was only curious as to why your face is all banged up" said Helena sarcasticly.
"What it's not that bad I've only been training." Said loket.
"Oh really"Helena grapped a small pocket mirror facing it towards me. "See" said Helena
My face was bruised badly. I had a black eye and one of my eyes was red.
"What happened, did you get into a fight? If i find them ill show them my uchia wrath" said Helena.
"Wait. This was caused by my training" said loket trying to calm the angry Helena.
"So you weren't lying about training than" said Helena with a surprised face.
"What is not surprising that I train" said loket feeling insulted.
"Well is not that you don't train, is that you only train when your punished ny himeko sensei or never and especially in the mornings" said Helena.
"I've changed now I will start to put actually effort Into my training" said loket.
"Did I hear that right. Or did I wake up into a different world. Cause this ain't the loket I know" said liam while arriving besides loket.
"I know, this isn't him maybe you were right kenny did hit him one to many times around the head" said Helena sarcasticly.
"Your right. There can't be any explanation for the lazy loket to be training in the morning" said liam making fun of me.
"You do know I'm still and can still hear you guys insulting me" said loket getting riled up.
"Hihihi we only playing with you loket. But what changed? What made you start training" said Helena.
I looked at Helena trying to find a answer but I couldn't think why. I guess it was that dream. I know it was only a dream but since that day I had this feeling in my stomach it felt like I was scared or maybe angry at myself. But why?
I don't know why but the dream felt similar to the one I had before. But if it comes down to it I think losing to kenny was bigger blow than i thought it was.
"So what is it?" Asked liam beside me.
"Well if I had to say. I'm just sick of being weak. " Said loket somberly to himself.
"Yeah this ain't loket. Maybe he was abducted by aliens and this is a alien in his skin" said liam making fun out of loket.
I looked at Liam while he was laughing with Helena trying to hold her laughter in. I'm sure that these guys are suppose to be my friends.
"What the laghter about" said Allison walking besides Helena and azerth walking behind her.
"Listen to this. We think that this isn't loket its a alien wearing his skin" said liam.
"What Did he do?" Asked azerth.
"You wouldn't believe it but he actually has started to take training seriously and he seriously woke up early to train. Can you beleve that?" Said liam.
"I'm still here you know" said loket trying to not get annoyed.
"Oh. Is that why he has bruise on his face" said Allison.
"Is about damn time" said azerth grinning.
Well atleast somebody is supportive. Not like the monkey and mini uchia here. The door slide open and himeko walked making everyone take their seats.
He walked in the front of the class and said " first I'm proud that you guy won. Moving on."
'What a shitty congratulations' thought the whole class.
Let's talk about the trip to the sand village. First and foremost I hope you all know that this isn't a vacation. Your representing the whole of konoha. i expect you to be on your best behave when we are there.
Second the trip to the sand village will be by walk and will take a week to get there. Don't worry three jonins will be with us and me and another teacher will be there. Also food and water will be provided and when we get to the sand village you'll be provide a room in a hotel provided by the sand village. You will stay there for three days before we have to return.
Thirdly while travelling you will be split into group of fives as there is twenty of you three groups will be led by a jonin and one team will be led by me and another teacher.
And finally both kages agreed on having a tournament between the five strongest students of there grades." Said himeko
As he finished talking the whole class screamed in excitement. Accept me. I was training to concentrate on my spiral training.
"This is going to be awesome" said a brown haired boy.
"Sensei, do you know who'll be the chosen to participate" said a petty girl.
Himeko raised his hand silencing the classrooms excitement.
"Yes. The top three students will immediately participate. So liam sarutobi, Allison yamanaka and azerth fuma. You guys will be participating in the tournament. " Said himeko.
"What about the other two spots sensei" said a impatient boy.
"I was just getting to that, don't interrupted me again" said himeko strictly.
"Sorry sensei" said the boy.
"The other two spots will be decided between a friendly bout but to make it even we will split the girls and boys in different groups to have one boy participant and one girl participant. The match will be in a week from this day" said himeko.
All the boys in the class start to size eachother as did the girls giving eachother deeply glares. But I was such in a meditated state in spiraling my chakra that I forgot to hear what himeko sensei luckily liam and azerth explained to me on break.
As I was about to leave himeko sensei grapped my shoulder saying" You haven't forgotten your punishment right"
"No sir, actually I was going to train for little longer and train other stuff to if you dont mind l" said loket.
"Well, have you finally decided to take being a ninja seriously." Siad himeko
"Not exactly I finally decided to become stronger but a shinobi is another thing" said loket.
' don't get angry. This is a good thing he's asking his life seriously now. Lets support him rather than smacking him around the bum' thought himeko irritated.
"Well glad your taking your training seriously. As a gift for maturing I'll give you this" said himeko.
Himeko grapped a storing scroll from his bag and opened it to reveal seal weights.
Pufff
"These are seal weights these are special kind. These weights can be adjusted to the weigh you want but the max wigh is three hundred kilo grams" explained himeko.
" Thank you himeko sensei" siad loket.
"I used these when I was training as a genin I hope these will help you too" said himeko.
Himeko handed over the wights. I grapped my own storage scroll and placed it in.
Pufff.
"You better don't disappoint me. I hope you will be one of the five participants" said himeko.
"Ofcource. I won't disappoint trust me." Said loket.
I left the class running to the training grounds. Right now the wights won't do me any good but once the workout get easier I will put these on.
When I arrived on the training grounds I stated with a practicing my taijtsu. I started by kicking the wooden log few hundred time with my full strength as I performed different variations of a kick. First was round house kick which made the sole of my feet sore. Next was telling back kick, side hook kick and a axe kick which was the worse one out of all of them. And lastly my favourite the crescent kick .
I used to only train the forms of each one but I never struck or used them.
After a hour and a half of combing and using different techniques I went on to doing hand to hand combat. I stated with normal japs. Than cross, rear hook, lead hook,lead upper cut and rear uper cut. These were the most basic punches that are out there. But to go in further I combined each one to make many combinations and styles of fighting.
As I hit the one hour mark my hand was numb and bleeding. I had so many cuts and bruises but this also trains my knuckles If I can harden my fist to the point I can easily smash the log into bits. But that will take along time, luckily I have all the time in the world.
As another hour went on I tried combing all the kicks and punches together trying to find the perfect combination to use. After two more hours I rested on the ground while blood and sweat mixed together. My seat stuck to my shirt I abounded my jacket long time ago now I also took of my shirt.
I only had 4 more hours left to train before I have to got bed and rest. I only have chakra control left and My sprinting around the village. To rest my body from the taijutsu training I started with chakra control.
I grapped a leaf and placed it on my forehead. I started to speed up my chakra directing it towards my forehead. This training was supposed to be easy for anybody but because of my condition I have to concentrate on speeding my chakra and focusing on the leaf at the same time.
But I do feel that my chakra is getting easier to use. I sat bear the tree for about two hours before I stopped. I had dropped three times because i lost focus and the last one lasted for about one hour and ten minutes.
I got up and stretched my body preparing my self to start running. I will have to spring for about two hours straight if I want to lap the whole village.
I pushed my self off and started to spring as fast I can.
Ten minutes later I was huffing and puffing.
"This is impossible to do!" screamed loket.
I ran out of energy to keep sprinting. But I mustered all my strength In my legs. I felt the muscled in my legs get tight and I felt the blood rushing to my legs making me able to sprint.
After three hours and many attempts to quit I finally ran all around the village. I laid there on the grass while my legs were numb and dead I want until I could be able to move. I had my whole body covered in sweat while my face covered in tears and snot.
I looked at the full moon and rembering the path I have chosen isn't going to be easy but I can't go back now I have already started.
I dragged my self to the river Washing All the sweat and snot of me. As I cleaned my self up. I limped back home.
To be continued.
