Capside Centre wasn't only built for Grindhouse Wrestling shows, it was also a ho to many low-level stars as most new wrestlers who are just beginning their careers might find it hard to cater for their needs on their own.
Also, the main reason for this was because, this was the stage where the newbies needed to give their all in training and improving all aspects of being a true professional wrestler. If they reside too far from the arena, there might be a disruption in their focus.
Thus, living in Capside Centre for a year was an order from the Ultimate Revolution Wrestling Authority, which actually ans that all new wrestlers would reside in the arena throughout the first year of their wrestling career.
Everything they need would be taken care of, but that wouldn't affect their wages, though.
Arnold made his way to the gym after having so rest. It was already 4 pm when he entered the gym, but he was ready to work out until it was nightti.
The gym in Capside Centre appeared to be more large, equipped, and crowded when Arnold got to see it. While one gym room was as large as two plots of land, there were still other gym rooms in so other buildings... About three more.
Arnold gasped. "That's... Cool."
When he entered one of the gyms, he noticed that it wasn't like the Rising Impact University's gym where no one would be working out by this ti. About eight to ten people could be spotted in the gym, including three won who were clearly seen to be wrestlers as well.
"They must be in the won's division. I hope Mia can pass her exams next year and get signed up for Grindhouse Wrestling. I'll buy her another cup of tea if she does that," Arnold muttered with a smile and shuffled into the gym.
Just as he walked in, all eyes suddenly ca crashing on him from all directions. It was just as if they were looking at a celebrity, however, isn't he just a newbie wrestler from Rising Impact University?
Even after so ti, the gazes seed to be coming to his side, making Arnold shy. However, he was more concentrated on finding a suitable place for him to have so practice and training... Perhaps sowhere where they wouldn't be able to keep staring like him a scared hyena.
"Hey!" A feminine suddenly called from behind as Arnold walked past the group of trainees.
Arnold turned to look in the direction of the voice, his gaze clashing on a tall white-skinned lady with silver hair and dark blue eyes who seed to be in her early twenties.
Arnold predicted twenty-two.
"Max Fury, right?" The young lady walked over and asked.
"Yeah," Arnold replied, blinking.
"I'm Gina. You can just call by my ring na, Lila Ross," the white-skinned lady suggested, retaining a congenial grin on her cheeks.
"Sure, Lila is cool," Arnold forced a smile of pretense. He really wanted to go now.
"UHM, that guy over there is my best friend," Lila pointed at a guy with short brown hair sowhere at the corner, "He is also a Grindhouse wrestler and umm, we have been together since we were signed here last year, working out and doing stuff, you know?"
Arnold shrugged. The only thought that flashed into his mind was.
'How is that supposed to concern ?'
However, it was a question asked inwardly, but Arnold's face had suddenly changed in an instant.
"Sorry. I know I'm not supposed to be spilling all these out but, please, can we be friends?" The lady finally went straight to the point.
Arnold was speechless at that instant, flinching.
"I an, we can hang around in free tis and train in the gym or the training rings. We are looking forward to your acceptance," Lila said.
The brown-haired guy from the corner suddenly waved at Arnold as he glanced at him. Returning his gaze to Lila, her pleading smile just couldn't keep his mind at rest.
It wasn't as if he didn't like having friends, Arnold just didn't want to experience what happened at Rising Impact University. With the way Ben and Karl treated him, he was beginning to develop trust issues.
However, since this pretty lady here was pleading to be his friend, who was he not to accept? Coming to think of it, she was soone who had spent a whole year in the show and must have gotten so experience. If he becos her friend, and also with the brown-haired guy, he might benefit from their experiences. While working out with them, they could teach him a lot of things.
"Sure. Of course," Arnold had no choice but to accept.
A delighted smile appeared on Lila's face after hearing his response.
"Thank you, Fury! It's my pleasure eting you," she said.
"Sa here," Arnold forced a smile.
After their short conversation. Arnold decided to train with them in one free space, performing weightlifting and running on treadmills.
When the working out was ongoing, Lila and the brown-haired guy, Mark, were amazed by his vital performance and quick improvents. At first, he was bad at running on the treadmill, but he managed to withstand a low speed.
However, as he kept running and running without sparing so ti to rest, his pace increased, and gradually tried increasing the speed of the treadmill while he continued to maintain the required pace not to stumble.
Lila and Mark were stunned at so point watching him. They had been in Grindhouse Wrestling for a year and could only maintain a 24 to 29 kiloters per hour pace, however, Arnold was already maintaining a decent pace in a 30 to 34 kiloters per hour speed.
They were dumbstruck.
Arnold wasn't really surprised about it because he had expected as much. Before beginning the training, he added two status points to his Agility, so it was able to enhance his speed rate. Maintaining a 34-kiloter-per-hour pace wasn't strange for soone with eight Agility points. It was normal.
Even after carrying a 45 kg weight, they swallowed repeatedly as if having an encounter with a monster. However, Arnold would only smile and urge them to focus on their training, almost blushing.
When it was almost midnight — Arnold made his new friends spend a complete five hours in the gym — soone dressed like a Grindhouse Wrestling staff walked into the gym with a black paper card and handed it to Arnold.
He hesitated a bit before reading the white texts written on the paper, and what he read blew his mind.
"A triple threat match?! Why?!?"
Arnold's eyes dilated in both shock and frustration. When he saw Rowan Pierce being listed as part of his opponents, a more intense scowl appeared on his face.
