SSS-Rank Awakening: My Talent Multiplies Everything novel Chapter 257

Chapter 257: Working Out With Lyra.

Lyra stared at Kael for a moment, still wondering what exactly he had planned for her.

"Alright, so what are we doing now?"

"First, we start light," Kael replied. "Some warm-ups, then jogging. After that, we’ll work on your core and see how things go from there."

That sounded reasonable enough.

At least, that was what Lyra thought.

The two of them started in the living room, going through a series of basic stretches and warm-up exercises before heading outside for a jog.

At first, everything seemed manageable. Lyra kept pace with Kael as they ran through the streets, and she even felt a little excited about the whole thing. She had wanted to become stronger for a long time, and training with Kael seemed like a good opportunity to finally do something about it.

That feeling didn’t last.

One lap became several. Then Kael had her tie a heavy training bag around her waist before making her run a few more laps. By the time they moved on to the rest of the workout, her legs were already starting to feel heavy.

Then came the sit-ups.

Then pull-ups.

Then more exercises.

By the time the sun had begun sinking toward the horizon, Lyra felt like every muscle in her body was protesting. Her arms were sore, her legs were trembling, and even her stomach hurt from all the core exercises Kael had made her do.

What had started as a workout had gradually begun to feel like punishment.

Eventually, the two of them found themselves sitting on a bench in a nearby park. Lyra leaned back against it, her chest rising and falling rapidly as she struggled to catch her breath. For several minutes, she didn’t even have the energy to complain.

Only after she had recovered enough to speak did she finally turn toward Kael.

"Hey, man."

Kael glanced at her.

"What?"

"What was that?"

"A workout."

Lyra stared at him.

"Let’s never do that again."

Kael looked at her for a moment before casually saying, "You have shit stamina."

Lyra’s face twitched.

"What?"

"Tomorrow, I’ll organize a proper workout schedule for you."

"Proper workout schedule?" Lyra repeated, sitting a little straighter despite her exhaustion. "What do you mean proper workout? What did we do today?"

"Just the basics."

Lyra opened her mouth to argue, but Kael had already closed his eyes.

"Alright. Rest up. We’re heading to the next stop after this."

He leaned back against the bench and settled into a comfortable position, apparently finished with the conversation.

Lyra stared at him in disbelief.

He was seriously ignoring her complaint.

After a moment, she let out a tired sigh and leaned back as well.

"I hate you."

Kael didn’t respond.

Lyra couldn’t help but sigh again before closing her eyes.

For the next fifteen minutes, neither of them said anything.

The park had grown quieter as evening approached, with the sounds of the surrounding streets gradually fading into the background. Lyra’s breathing had finally returned to normal, and some of the ache in her muscles had eased.

Then Kael suddenly opened his eyes.

"Alright. Time to go."

Lyra looked at him.

"Where?"

"You’ll know soon."

Kael stood up before turning around and lowering himself slightly. He motioned toward his back.

"Get on."

Lyra blinked.

"What?"

"We need to get there quickly. What better way than using my speed? Hop on."

Lyra stared at his back in silence, trying to figure out whether he was messing around. He didn’t look like he was, so after a moment’s hesitation, she stepped forward and climbed onto his back, settling in awkwardly.
