Magic Load Training

Magic power is a substance that can’t be seen if you don’t pay attention to it, but it has mass and texture.

So I’ve been training by kneading, rubbing, and moving it around. But now that I’m at Lv 5, I can finally sit on it.

It doesn’t matter if I can sit on it or not, but for those who can’t see the magic, I can make it look like I’m sitting in a floating position like a certain master.

Because I’ve gone back in time, I haven’t caught all the suspects yet, and it’s a black joke.

Silence.

So what I’m saying is that my magic power has become hard and sturdy enough to support my weight. That’s why there’s no way I can’t use it to train my muscles!

Magic Load Training.

It is what I named the muscle training I plan. In that, I have to use magical power to pressurize the part of the body I want to train or put a load on a specific part of the body to train it more efficiently.

For example, you can apply pressure from above when doing push-ups, protect your knees when doing squats, hold your legs in place when doing sit-ups, or use your magic power to accelerate when running or make it harder to run.

Especially now that it’s summer vacation, it doesn’t matter that much. But once school starts again, I’ll be able to do muscle training during class time, which will be very useful.

In order to do that, I need to apply a stronger load. So for now, it’s time to experiment!

I started by putting magic power all over my body and applying a load in the opposite vector of the direction I want to move.

“Oh, oh. It’s a weird feeling!”

If I have to use an analogy to describe it, I would say it’s  as if I’m running in water,  But I didn’t get wet. I’ve heard that some soldiers train to walk in water. And yes, I might be more tired than usual.

However, human beings are naturally very hard workers.

I was having so much fun training with magic power for the first time that I kept running around the park until I collapsed from muscle spasms.

I felt a little bad because my dad cried, “Why do you keep doing that until you collapse?” 

Nevertheless, I didn’t get any muscle pain and that was thanks to “Super Recovery.”

As a first year elementary school student, I didn’t get a homework assignment for my free study during the summer vacation. So,  I busied myself on researching how to reduce the amount of time I spend resting between muscle training sessions.

This was because I had recently learned to use magical power to load up my strength training, which meant that I was training with magical power almost all day long. Not only during muscle training but also during breaks. Whenever I’m playing with Ichika-chan, running around, making piles of sand, or building a secret base, I’m usually doing it while flexing my magic power.

That’s why my status is like this.

Unique Skill: Repeated Attempt

Yes. The only thing that was outstanding was the Enhanced Magic.

This is only after one month of summer vacation. At this rate, I’m going to be more inclined towards magic! I’m not saying it’s a bad thing, but I don’t like the idea of creating an uneven balance amongst my skills.

I can use magic for muscle training because it is tangible and has mass, but I can’t just completely rely on it because I had been living without it for 26 years in your previous life.

So I think it’s best to train your body, which is the capital of everything. And I’ve come up with a way to recover from the fatigue that comes with every workout.

It was to use the “Super Recovery” skill to forcibly heal the muscles worn out by muscle training and cover up the fatigue.

It sounded like a method that will shorten my life, but if it works, I might be able to train more efficiently than ever before. And the best way to recover from muscle loss is to get protein.

Ideally, protein would be the way to go, but I don’t have any at home. So, I have no choice but to just boil an egg instead.

I boiled a pot of water and threw all the eggs from the 10-pack I had at home into the pot.

I am still captivated by the pleasure of knowing that the amount I worked out would show up as a level in numbers.

I repeated the training with my body weight, using my magical powers to increase the load until the boil egg was cooked.

My muscles were screaming because I had a run for an hour before making the boiled eggs. Just recently, I had been able to run for two hours without losing my breath, so I knew that magic was great.

For thirty minutes, I couldn’t get my strength to work properly, as if my whole body was convulsing from the incomparable load.

I dragged my wobbly body to peel the boiled eggs one by one.

“It’s so hot!”

My hand burns, but I’m sure it will soon heal with Super Recovery.

I ate the boiled eggs one by one as I peeled them. I ate them one by one, varying the flavor with salt, mayonnaise, and soy sauce.

By the time I had finished eating the ten eggs, a thought suddenly came to my mind.

“Oh. I know now how I am going to get rid of this fatigue!”

However, there are several drawbacks to this method.

One is the financial issue. In order to heal general fatigue, I need at least 10 eggs. Even though they only cost 150 yen per pack, it is difficult to buy enough of it with a child’s allowance.

The second and the most important thing is that I will get tired of eating eggs if I consume it every day.

It’s true that “Super Recovery” has helped me get rid of fatigue. But to be honest, I was feeling pretty bad after eating ten boiled eggs.

The texture and the flavor of the egg whites make me feel sick. If I ate eggs all the time, I would probably be fed up in three days.

 I did 30 minutes of muscle training with magical power, and I grilled the chicken in the fridge as I thought about it.

Chicken is not bad, but it costs more than eggs.

The idea is that I need to eat about 400 yen worth of food in one sitting to recover. Besides, I am going to get tired of this one as well as I continue to feed on them.

Next, tofu.

It takes three tofu to recover. It’s not as good as eggs, but for 210 yen you can get a full recovery. So it’s not bad for the cost, however, it’s cold and makes your stomach feel cold. But then if it’s cold, then I’ll get a cold stomach. So, so far, tofu is the best candidate.

Finally, milk. 

One liter of this will help you recover. It doesn’t taste bad, and it’s not painful to drink every day. The only problem I have with it is that it made me feel like I was going to throw up during strength training because my stomach was so full.

Apparently, the food you eat does not disappear, though eating it triggers the “Super Recovery” skill.

Doesn’t the Super Recovery mean you are consuming food? Or is it possible that not everything can be converted into recovery?

Either way, I can tell you that if you eat like an idiot and do a lot of hard anaerobic exercise with little to no rest, you will throw up.

When I emptied the fridge of food and puked in the bathroom, my relatively mild-mannered mother slapped me.

It’s a good thing that my parents, who know that I run like an idiot and do strength training every day, bought me some protein when I talked to them.

Still, it’s probably not a bad thing considering that I’m not allowed to do any training that does not require thinking like I did today.
