"Okay, so I heard you want me to do some exercises to make me faster and stronger."

"Yep, I've prepared something for you to wear too. Here."

Lucia gives two bracelets which are then worn by Katsuragi. However, when Katsuragi wore it, Lucia cast a spell, and then Katsuragi's entire body became inflamed, causing him to lie on the ground.

THUMP!

"W-What the hell...?" 

"Okay, I want you to do all of these exercises. Do... 130 push-ups, 145 sit-ups, 135 pull-ups, 120 squats, and 20km run. With the weights you use."

Katsuragi looked at Lucia, showing a surprised face.

"What?!" 

"Heh. Do it now."

Katsuragi tried to do a push-up, with a magical weight that was as heavy as lifting two large stones. Katsuragii's hands were shaking after doing 5 push-ups.

"D-Damnit. Why is it so heavy?"

Two hours later, both of Katsuragi's arms were wounded and healed by his regeneration, and within those two hours, he had just finished doing push-ups. Making it hard for him to breathe.

"H-Hah..."

"Come on, you have to do more kid."

Katsuragi then did a sit-up, and he had a little difficulty doing it as his entire body felt heavy.

Some time later, during that time Katsuragi did all the exercises Lucia told him to do. Showing his face full of sweat and tears,

"Argh! It hurt so much!!"

After that, Katsuragi lay on the ground, clearly looking lethargic as if his spirit had left his body.

"H-How long do I have to keep going?"

"Oh, not long at all. Within two months."

"Two months?!"

"Yep."

A week later, Katsuragi leaned on the ground, breathing heavily from exhaustion. But this time, he was less tired than he had been the past few days.

"Maybe I can get used to this crazy training."

"Oh, is that so? Maybe I should increase the weight value."

Katsuragi pauses, straightens up, then looks at her like she just asked him to carry the moon.

“Ah yes, of course. Let’s just add a small mountain to each wrist while we’re at it. Maybe throw in emotional trauma for balance.”

Lucia raises an eyebrow.

"I’m serious. You’ve grown too comfortable."

"Who said I felt comfortable?"

She narrowed her eyes.

Two months later...

"Huff...."

Carmira and Dargo looked at Katsuragi's body, after he had done all the exercises Lucia had asked him to do.

"Whoa, you're getting more muscular now, huh?

Dargo praised. While Carmira's face was slightly red when she saw Katsuragi's current body.

"Can I ask you to put on your clothes now? Do you still want to show off?"

Katsuragi fell to the ground as he exhaled and smiled.

"Haha... Finally."

Lucia then removed the two bracelets that Katsuragi was wearing. 

"There."

"Hah, I feel light-headed."

"And your hair is long. Let me cut it."

Lucia then took the scissors and had Katsuragi sit on a chair and cut his hair. Meanwhile, Carmira and Dargo were playing chess. That moment was so quiet.

"Lucia.. how do you know my father? I.. want to know what kind of person he is."

Lucia replied.

"Your father, he's a man feared by his subordinates, but he's a good man. It's because of him that Inzumo has progressed, and he's also the reason I'm still alive."

Katsuragi listened to Lucia's conversation

"Because of him you are alive?"

"Yes. I'm from Shanzhou, but I grew up in Valenbourg and traveled to Inzumo. In my mission, I almost died due to a high-ranking Abyss, but your father came and saved me 20 years ago."

Katsuragi remained silent as he listened to Lucia's story. In his heart, perhaps his father was a very good person.

"I see.."

"Done."

Lucia took out a mirror and handed it to Katsuragi. He looked at his new haircut in a mullet style.

"Do I need to style my hair like this?"

"Yes, you do."

Meanwhile, Carmira wins against Dargo in chess.

"Checkmate! I win. Again."

"What?! Again?!"

Carmira looked satisfied and stretched her arms, then looked at Katsuragi.

"Wow, you're getting more handsome?"

"Oh of course, I've been handsome since birth."

Katsuragi casually replied. Then Dargo taunted Katsuragi.

"Oh, is that true, hm?"

Lucia threw Katsuragi's shirt at his face.

PLAK!

"Come on, I want to try something with you."

Dargo then said to Lucia.

"You and Katsuragi go together, I still want to play chess with Carmira."

A few moments later, Katsuragi and Lucia arrive at the basement beneath her house.

"That sigil. Take it out."

"Why?"

"Just take it out."

Katsuragi sighed and took out the sigil.

"Good, I don't want anyone else to know about what I'm telling you. Okay, try absorbing the energy of this sigil."

"Okay...?"

SWOOSH!

The sigil turned into small particles and was absorbed by Katsuragi.

"Okay, try to look at my face."

When Katsuragi looked at Lucia, his eyes glowed purple.

"Oh? You're actually 37 years old? It's really different from your face, you look so young."

Lucia then looked annoyed.

"Okay first, don't mention anything about the woman's age. And second, that's one of the abilities that Tian Yi is supposed to hide, it's called Divine Eyes."

[Divine Eyes: Users can see the status of someone they see. Shows basic information such as name and age. As well as their abilities and ranks.]

"Don't use it for bad things."

"Sorry, I didn't promise."

With that, Katsuragi walked away. While Lucia watched from behind, feeling a little worried about him.
