Chapter 88 - 88. Brutal Training
"The user has selected the nickname Providence. Welcome Providence. Would you like to start with the basic work out today? Based on current heart rate, body conditions, and rate of mental energy the user should be able to perform one three hour session."
This was going beyond what Asher had expected. The elite home gym was really living up to the elite part of its name. Asher was not sure if he wanted to do one of the basic work outs, if he did he was afraid that his practice in footwork and moves would fall short. Not to mention he had only run and done a small amount of climbing today. He had missed the circuit he would normally do with his sister and Art.
"I want to do a custom work out." The television switched to a custom screen showing that it would record the repetitions and the time of everything he did along with his vital signs. 'This is great, maybe it will give me suggestions for after I finish so I can improve.'
"Please begin when ready Providence." Asher started in on his warm up with some footwork shadow tag. He saw that the television was recoding it as stance training and cardio. When he started to add in some of Onyx's techniques he saw a score start to show up next to it. His score for the footwork shadow tag showed D rank.
'Pfft only D rank? I am better than that.' This angered him and he started to focus much more. Before he knew it he had been performing his shadow footwork tag for half an hour before he switched to his circuits and going through fifty repetitions of every move her knew. The television showed ranks for every thing he did.
"How is my highest rank footwork? It's only D. I know I am better than that!" In his frustration, Asher decided to stretch and quit.
"Providence has ended their work out. Predicted rest time until Providence can start another session is four hours of sleep and one shower at a high temperature with a twenty minute stretching session. Please consume additional protein and potassium to recover."
Asher was caught off guard yet again by the elite home gym, it had even calculated rest for him. Not only this but instead of asking whether he wanted to do another session it instead started a timer. This prompted him to rush to a small fridge in the corner of the room.
He found that there were fresh fruits and protein shakes. He grabbed a banana and a chocolate protein shake and ate them quickly before hitting the shower. He found that the home gym even adjusted the temperature for him. The best part was it was a super fancy shower that had water jets on all sides. Asher had the best shower he had ever had in his life. 'Now this is how the rich live.'
He flopped on to the bed and found that it adjusted itself to the perfect form for his body. 'This is pure heaven.' The heated bed sent him off to a deep sleep that he had never had in his previous life. It was truly the lap of luxury.
Four hours later the elite home gym system set off a small alarm, "Providence the rest period is over. What level of work out session would you like to participate in?"
Asher was groggy and did not fully wake up as he mumbled back thinking he was still in a dream saving the world and helping his friends to do so. "I'll help you save the mayor…"
"Providence has selected hell mode work out. Only one version is download on to the elite home gym rank S model. The ranked session will begin in five minutes. The premises will be locked down until Providence has completed the five hour work out."
Asher sat up realizing that the home gym had just been speaking. He rolled out of the bed and looked around for the television screen seeing the short timer displaying the time to start of the work out. "Ah dang it, I thought I could sleep more." He grabbed a set of work out clothes and refused to give up this opportunity. While he had slept he had dreams of being the top hero in the world.
'I need to keep up my intensity. This is the high tech training I need to be at the top. This luxury cabin is a blessing in disguise." He refused to lose this chance to improve himself. He had figured out that the luxury part was not the relaxation but the fact that it could give the best possible training. He had also caught on that the home gym was Rank S not as a model number but as a quality, this meant that it was made for S rank heroes to use. This must have cost a fortune!
"The work out shall now begin. Follow the instructions on the screen and proceed to reach the goals for your specific body type. The calculations have been made. Please follow the suggested rhythm."
The television and speaker started to show a pulse and displayed a foot work movement. Asher saw that there were new moves added in making it more fluid and balanced. He did his best to mimic it and found that it fit his posture and breathing perfectly. 'As expected of the best home gym ever!' His inner thoughts praised the elite home gym until he noticed that the beat for his movement pace was speeding up.
The avatar in the screen started to add moves he had used in to the motions. They were refined and held stiffer motions that delivered more force. The tough part was that they held a very quick withdraw and transition in to the next move. He had not learned this amount of fluidity in his movement yet.
Asher started to sweat bullets as he pushed his body to the limit. He had no sense of time and no way to see the outside since the home gym system had locked down the room and closed the shades automatically. He was later reduced to a gasping mess on the floor, the sweat pouring off of him as the screen showed a calculating screen.
