Highschool DxD: The Game (Early Work)

Part #12. I fight while my friends stand and watch

[Kyu's POV]

After we dealt with the Stray Devil, I said "goodbye" to everyone and began walking back to my house.
On my way there however, I began thinking about the possibilities of this ability of mine... utilizing it, I should be able to become absurdly strong right? And I'm going to need that power in order to stay safe, now that I know that there are beings with magical powers, I'm going to be attacked eventually. And I haven't leveled up once since I've gotten this ability... It's time to do some training!

I changed my direction and began heading towards a nearby park. As I began walking towards the park, I heard a noise and looked down, there was a Quest screen right in front of me.

[NEW QUEST ALERT: "Preparing for the near future"]
{Push Ups: 0/50}
{Squats: 0/50}
{Pull Ups: 0/50}
{5 Mile Run: 0/5 (8 kilometres)}

|Rewards: 75 EXP, Skill Book|
|Failure: Penalty Quest|
[Y]

The quest automatically accepted itself, and soon I arrived at the park. I decided to start with the easiest thing on the list, the squats. So I began squatting, and after five I wanted to die.
Luckily, Gamer's Body removed the pain and exhaustion, but it would return soon.

This process repeated until I had completed the squats. And I had gotten a nice reward from murdering my legs.

[Your STR has leveled up by 2!]

I smiled a little bit at the reward, and I decided to move onto the next task. I walked over to the monkey bars. I jumped up and grabbed onto one of the bars and tried pulling myself up... It didn't work, my noodle arms have failed me.

I tried pulling myself up again, and this time my arms bent a little... but I still couldn't do a full pullup. I dropped onto the ground and decided to visit the pullups later. I moved onto the grass part of the park and placed my hands on the ground. I lowered my body and attempted a pushup. I managed to accomplish one pushup, and so I moved onto doing more. I collapsed on the grass after a finishing three pushups... and after laying there for a little bit, I got back up on my hands and resumed my pushups.

Eventually, I had finished my pushups. And with the reward I got I decided to have another go at the pullups

[Your STR has leveled up by 3!]

I latched onto the bars and began pulling myself up. with my Strength increased by five, I could actually complete a full pullup.

After a few minutes, I was about to finish my final pullup, when I got yoinked off of the monkey bars by someone and put over their shoulder, I looked down and noticed the familiar white hair of my classmate.

"H-Hi Koneko-san! D-do you mind putting me down? I was just about to finish my s-set." I asked her. She simply ignored me and walked onto a magic circle which had the rest of the Peerage except for Issei on it.

"Ummm... C-Can I be let down now?"

Koneko-san just ignored me. I looked back at the monkey bars as I was carried away. I was so close to finishing that part!

"B-But..." I stammered, we had reached the magic circle and the teleportation process had begun.

"Wait! My Que-" I began until I was cut off from being teleported.

Soon enough, I was carried out of a magic circle by Koneko-san, it was weird how we walked out of this one, when the one before we just kinda appeared out of nowhere. I noticed that we were in a house somewhere.
