Church Of Wisdom, Front Garden.
Alex did proper stretching before running in the garden, and then he collapsed on the grass after barely completing just one lap of the garden.
*Pant!* *Huff!* *Pant!*
"I can’t believe this body is... huff... in such a bad shape..."
Alex’s chest moved up and down rapidly, and his heart was beating so fast that he felt like it was about to burst out of his chest!
After defeating Jake, Alex not only started reading books in the library, but he also made it his daily routine to do exercises in both the morning and the evening.
As a scientist in his previous life, Alex didn’t need to train, but he had enough money to eat healthy, maintain his health, and manage endless workloads, even with limited physical abilities.
But in this world, Alex can’t just sit on a desk all day long and read books every single minute of the day.
He knows that life will not be that easy for him in this dangerous world where superhumans roam around freely and monsters that can collapse nations exist in reality.
Being weak and choosing to stay weak are two completely different things.
Alex is currently weak, but he was not going to stay weak; he had already made up his mind to be strong!
Thus, aside from reading and learning about this world, Alex started focusing on his physical capabilities at the sa ti.
"If I want to learn any basic combat skill or martial art, the first thing I need is decent stamina... but this body’s got no stamina at all..."
As a prince, the original Alex had never had to train hard and work hard at all; he was living the best life and was enjoying every single day of his life in the royal palace.
When the other royal children were training and polishing their talents for the inevitable war for the throne, Alex was enjoying life and simply didn’t seem concerned about anything at all.
’Perhaps because he already knew that he no chance of ever reaching the throne?’
’But still... at least he should have trained a little bit... he’s got no stamina at all...’
Although the original Alex was a very bratty and immature kid, he didn’t seem to have the tendency of assaulting others at all; after all, he was weak.
Even the servants in the royal palace were likely strong people, and if Alex hit them, he would be the one getting his hands hurt, so it was pointless for him to try to assault them.
’I guess him being weak also helped him keep so boundaries, perhaps?... It would have been too troubleso if he had was involved in so serious incidents while growing up...’
While Alex was busy thinking about various things in his mind, Ethan returned back to his side and spoke.
"Lord Saint, Jake has woken up and although he’s not in his best condition, he’s realized his past mistakes and has requested you to grant him an audience with you..."
"He would apologize and accept whatever punishnt you have for him..."
While saying those words, Ethan seed like he wanted to say sothing else so Alex asked,
"Just spit it out, man. What do you wanna say? You know that your emotions are literally written on your face? Who are you trying to fool?"
Ethan felt a bit embarrassed after being caught hiding his emotions but at Alex’s order he spoke out,
"Lord Saint... uh... It was who trained him to be such a stubborn fool... I hope that whatever punishnt you have-"
Alex sat up on the grass and shook his head.
"No, you will not get any punishnt... well, I don’t really have any punishnts in mind for him either..."
"His behaviour from now on will decide what I will do with him though..."
Alex slowly got up from the ground with his entire body trembling continuously, as he was exhausted from running.
He had only run twice since morning, and his body was already on the brink of falling apart.
"By the way, little Ethan... is there so shortcut available to achieve rapid muscle growth in a short ti period?"
"At my current rate, it might take a decade to reach the sa physical capabilities that your little Jake has..."
Alex felt really disappointed in how slow his own growth was and how weak and talentless he was.
Unlike in novels and mangas, where protagonists are equipped with powerful systems or other goldenfingers that help them cheat their way through, Alex has got nothing at all.
’Despite being transmigrated into another world, I have no special skill or hidden abilities at all... I have brought imnse sha to the grand army of transmigrators.... Sigh...’
’I wonder if I bought a cheaper transmigration package delivery service option or sothing but I didn’t get any starter item or skill at all...’
While Alex was doubting his reality and his very existence, Ethan puffed up his chest in pride after hearing Alex’s words and said,
"Of course, your holiness! There are various ways to increase your strength trendously in a short period of ti!"
"But I only know three of them, though... there might be more ways out there but these three are very common and many warriors use them..."
With a calm look on his face and a gentle smile, Ethan imdiately entered his supportive father mode the mont Alex asked him a question.
Just a minute ago he was depressed that Alex was going to punish Jake, but the very next minute his mood shifted to happy, and he was smiling instantly!
’This guy... he’s really a big airhead... I sotis envy how easily he can stay happy all the ti...’
’I think the reason why he’s winning in life is likely because he’s so good at keeping himself happy and motivated all the ti...’
Ignoring Alex giving him weird stares, Ethan started explaining.
"The three most common thods of rapidly increasing strength are extre endless training, advancent, and special circumstance acquirent."
