I woke up again with a massive headache. My stomach began to grumble and i smelled some delicious food. I walked over to the kitchen to find Shino cooking.
"Sit down and eat child. You haven't eaten at all yet have you? No wonder you passed out."
I began to eat at my food with no rest. It was soooo delicious. I went for seconds,thirds, fourths, and I continued. I was finally full.
"Alright now get up, time to train."
"WHAT!?!? After I finished eating? I'm still tired. I ca-"
He came at me with a fist. I dodged. i began to fight with him. he was dodging all my attacks and I could barely block his following attacks. He finally stopped. I was so exhausted, yet he was breathing fine. My stamina was too low he told me. Then he commanded me to run until i could run for 24 hours straight. He walked away and told me the quicker i got it done the more training we do but if i didn't have it down in 3 years that he would send me back down where i came from. At first I could only run for 30 minutes. I didn't think i could run for 24 hours straight. Of course, I calculated how much i should be able to run daily if i wanted to succeed.
"Put this on" Shino offered a jumpsuit to me.
I grabbed it and my hand dropped to the ground. I asked how much it weighed.
"I'll tell you. Try it on first." he persuaded.
I put it on and it got locked.
"What the hell is this???" I yelled.
"That's a specialized jumpsuit that weighs 200 pounds now. The more you sweat the more it increases. You can take a shower in it and it'll dry so you won't stink but the more water the heavier it gets." he explained with a grin.
I tried to run with it and my time cut in half. I could only last FIFTEEN minutes. Every day from then on I ran. Hoping I would make it to the benchmark.
Three Years Later
"Master Shino, isn't it time?" I called out to him.
"Ahhh yes, lets see your progress"
I ran for 25 hours straight until I stopped and fell forward.
"You pass, my boy" he whispered as he caught my falling body.
I woke up, rolled over and fell on the ground. There was a cave-in in the ground. This was the day my actual training began...
