Shizuka's Boy Is Working Hard to Grow Up / Shizuka's Boy Has Become a Young Man ...

After doing everything a thousand times, your whole body will be emitting steam, and your capillaries will be dilated, thus completing the warm-up exercise.

"Great! Rest for four minutes, then begin the fourth phase of warm-up exercises. Speed up all the previous movements and do them again in half the time!"

"Yes!"

"Great! Take a five-minute break, then double the intensity of your previous exercise and complete it within the same timeframe!"

Although it was supposed to be a warm-up, it was actually a continuous, repetitive training session, seemingly designed to torture every inch of the muscles. The boy's practice clothes were already soaked with sweat; despite being made of quick-drying material, sweat still dripped uncontrollably from his forehead and the back of his neck.

Bazett began subjecting Shirou to Sparta training that was several times more brutal than any other training, leaving onlookers trembling with fear just watching.

Anyone with basic sports knowledge knows that high-intensity training can damage muscles and certain substances in the body. Therefore, those who want to build muscle must not only train hard but also pay attention to rest and supplement with protein powder and various nutrients to promote recovery. Otherwise, not only will the training be less effective, but it may also damage the body.

"Wait a minute, is this really okay? He's still a kid. Is this trying to train a world-class athlete? Isn't that a bit too hasty?"

A couple who work out also looked over. The young woman looked at Shirou, who was enduring the pain, with a kind and gentle expression, and said with heartfelt affection, "That's right, making such a cute little boy do this kind of training."

The boyfriend, who was standing nearby, chimed in, "Wait a minute, that kid looks pale! He's ashen-faced. Is he about to faint or something? No, I have to call the police!"

Just as the young man was about to take out his phone, a strong and powerful arm rose up and grabbed his hand.

A muscular man, over 2 meters tall, was holding the young man's hand like an adult holding a child's. He smiled warmly, revealing his eight teeth, and said, "That won't do, young man."

"Huh? What's going on? Didn't you see that child suffering?" The young man was startled when he saw the giant beside him, but in front of his new girlfriend, he calmed himself down and pretended to be composed, asking the giant in return.

"No, you still don't understand how precious the spirit behind enduring pain is." Another muscular man with fiery passion walked over and placed his hand on the young man's shoulder.

"Huh?"

"Alright, then let us teach you what the beauty of muscles is!" Two muscular men each grabbed one of the young man's arms, lifted him into the air, and carried him to the area where the muscles were clustered together.

"Wait! Where are you taking my boyfriend?" The young woman left there was dumbfounded, watching helplessly as her new boyfriend was swept up in a sea of muscles.

"But... is this kind of training that pushes human limits really a good thing? He's still a child!" Some people voiced their doubts.

"Take a closer look at that child's face," said a slender yoga instructor with long blue ponytail and sausage lips.

Inside the glass window, Shirou was running on a treadmill with a weight on his back. Although his face was pale and he was sweating profusely, looking so weak that even breathing seemed difficult, a closer look revealed a hidden light in his eyes. Though very subtle, it possessed a breathtaking power!

The boy... no, now everyone in the entire gym who has seen him train no longer considers him an ordinary child. A faint, curved line appeared between his breaths as he inhaled and exhaled.

"Hmm... this boy... could it be that he's smiling?" the man said, looking at Shirou in shock during his training.

The Black runner, whose arm was wrapped in a bandage and who specialized in teaching running, walked over and said, "Yes, sustained aerobic exercise promotes the release of dopamine, endorphins, and serotonin in the brain. One is a feeling of excitement and pleasure, another is similar to morphine, making people feel happy and refreshed, and the third makes the mind clear and comfortable. The more he persists, the more his body will release these hormones for him."

"Can exercise really make people happy?" The man stared blankly at Shirou and asked in confusion.

The yoga instructor, arms crossed, said, "Yes, but this kind of joy coexists with pain. Even with extraordinary willpower, he wouldn't be able to persevere. This boy... no, young man! He's destined for greatness! He must have some lofty goal in mind to achieve!"

Chapter 576 The Shizuka Boy Is Trying to Grow Up

"Shirou! Concentrate! Don't let your surroundings distract you! Think about your goal!" The red-haired woman coldly glanced at the crowd watching the commotion outside and commanded authoritatively.

"Yes!" Shirou replied with difficulty, sweat pouring down his face.

My whole body felt burning hot, as if the blood flowing in my veins was being boiled. My body was stiff, and I felt occasional stinging pains. My body no longer felt like my own.

He knew very well that his entire body was at its limit, and he was only holding on by his Divine Power. If he lost even the slightest bit of energy, he would collapse to the ground and wouldn't be able to get up again today.

However, as long as you persevere and keep exercising, and get through this stage, your body will generate a new burst of energy, making you feel refreshed and able to continue this high-intensity training.

This kind of training made Cú Chulainn virtually invincible in one-on-one combat during his time. Diarmuid, on the other hand, achieved a terrifying feat of killing four thousand enemies in a single battle.

Every hero-level Celtic warriors is a formidable character who, as long as they are not killed, can keep the battle going indefinitely and grow stronger with each battle.

Of course, what outsiders say isn't entirely without merit. This level of training, whether it's Chinese martial arts, head-on Muay Thai, or high-intensity martial arts training, isn't something one can just casually attempt. If one doesn't have the natural talent and there are no remedial treatments, the body will only suffer injuries due to excessive wear and tear.

The World Power hidden within Shirou's body shone with pure white light, flowing once again into every muscle and organ of Shirou body, repairing damaged tendons and merging into his blood. His tendons became more flexible, and his bones became denser through tempering, making his body stronger and more robust.

Only by pushing his body to its limits like this can Shirou gradually unleash this potential.

Now Shirou is going to walk the same path that those top Celtic heroes once walked.

However, to achieve his goal, and to make those cunning and treacherous Magecraft hiding in the shadows give up, he needed to possess that level of power, or even more.

Yes, challenge the training methods of ancient heroes, and then surpass them; only then can everything fall into place.

When the gym closed, the customers and other members washed themselves and left.

Only the red-haired woman and the boy who lived nearby remained; in fact, their battle had only just begun. The previous training was merely a warm-up.

The so-called Celtic training method is actually about never stopping moving until you die. As long as you have the strength to fight, you should use it for combat or train to fight better.

Therefore, real training still requires actual combat!

Shirou sat on the floor, a white towel wrapped around his head, panting and trying to catch his breath. The red-haired woman beside him used healing Magecraft to help heal his injured muscles, massaging his calves and arms to Matsushita his entire body.

Once Shirou's breathing had stabilized, Bazett stood up, took out his combat gloves, put them on, and said, "There's not much time left before nightfall, let's get started without delay!"

"Yes!" Shirou without hesitation! Now he was completely focused on training. He took a step forward and, like an arrow, threw a punch at the woman.

Bazett raised his arm to block the impact of the punch, then swung his leg at the boy, sending him flying. The red-haired woman showed no mercy; although she didn't use Magecraft to enhance her power, her arm strength alone was enough to crush a tree.

Now she unleashed that power directly onto Shirou's small body.

Under the immense force, Shirou flew straight toward the wall. Just as he was about to flip over and crash into the wall, he grabbed his legs, curled up into a ball, spun several times in the air, and slowed the momentum of the impact. Then, he placed his feet on the wall and used the momentum to leap onto the red-haired woman's head, delivering a punch.

Although this body is that of a primary school student, as the body of a god wielding the power of the world, its strength, when fully unleashed, is considerable. Even if it cannot compare to the giant son of God of Thunder in Norse mythology or Hercules in Greek gods, it is still beyond the reach of ordinary humans.

"Well done!" Bazett didn't dodge, but leaped high into the air and kicked Shirou, sending him crashing into the ceiling.

Then he rushed to Shirou's landing spot and kicked him up again! This repeated, with Shirou constantly being kicked, his body hitting the ceiling, falling down, and then being kicked up again.

Bazett wasn't the type to do delicate work; her sparring partner basically just beat people up again and again, Shirou to the ground, and then, thanks to his powerful regenerative abilities, getting back up and beating him down again.

This kind of training has actually been going on for some time now. Since moving here, Shirou has made significant progress, going from being knocked out with a single punch to being able to go through several rounds.

Shirou clenched his fists. In his dreams, he had seen himself from other worlds, training with a blonde girl using wooden swords. Each time, he was mercilessly beaten unconscious! The purpose of that training was simply to make that version of himself clearly understand the vast difference in strength between Servant and humans, and to teach him how to dodge and escape in battles of that scale.

But this time it's different! Shirou doesn't just need to get used to this level of combat, he needs to surpass it! He must surpass the red-haired woman! No matter what method he uses! The experiences of those heroes in parallel worlds will also become his experience and nourishment for growth.

"Aaaaaah!!! Bazett!" Shirou roared in mid-air, glaring at the red-haired woman. His clenched fists emitted a dazzling white light, and a pair of black and white yin-yang fish-shaped gauntlets appeared on his body. The black and white parts served as gauntlets, while the wrist guards were a vibrant red.

"Hmph!" Bazett's eyes sharpened, and he unleashed his full magical power for maximum defensive output, raising his arms above his head to meet Shirou's punch.

As Shirou descended from the sky like a shooting star, he threw a punch at the red-haired woman.

Bang!!! A thunderous sound echoed in the training room. The impact shook the tables and chairs outside, and the barbells on the racks rattled.

"That's quite a move. Is this Magecraft you created, Shirou?" Bazett asked with a smile.

"Projection & Creation Magecraft! Gan Jiang · Mo Ye - Fist Armor Mode! I thought it was really cool when I saw Shizue transform!" Shirou landed on the ground and said with a light laugh.

After months of training, he finally mastered his first signature move.

Chapter 577 The Shizuka boy has grown into a teenager

"Ugh... what are we going to do now?" Bazett scratched his head, looking at the carnage around him. Faced with a battle of this level, even a soundproof and earthquake-proof training room was no match for it.

Bazett stared at the horrific scene caused by the explosion, his mouth agape. He knew he was going to be fired this time.

The glass walls of the training room were all cracked in large areas by the shock wave, and not only the shock-absorbing pads on the floor, but even the concrete floor underneath sank in.

In the past, she could simply replace the broken mat and put it back on the floor, which would at least get by. But this time, it seems there's no way to fix it without calling a construction crew.

The most unusual thing is the red-haired woman who clearly took such a powerful punch head-on and is still standing here as if nothing happened.

"It's alright, I think I can fix this." Shirou said, waving his hand and emitting a white light.

The white light transformed into mist, spreading outwards from the ground and sweeping across the chaotic landscape. Wherever the white light touched, everything returned to its original state, and it even cleaned things up, leaving the walls, ceilings, and windows looking brand new.

At this moment Shirou, who was emitting white light, looked like a miniature white god. Of course, his world power was limited, but even if he consumed it dozens of times more, he would never run out in his lifetime.

"Look, Bazett, it's all done~!" After finishing everything, Shirou turned around and smiled brightly at the red-haired woman.

"I think I'm witnessing the birth of a monster," Bazett exclaimed, stunned by the sight. But perhaps this meant she could fight more freely; as long as she was careful not to demolish the load-bearing walls, things should probably be restored, right?

The red-haired woman began to look forward to the days to come.

Meanwhile, on the other side, Shizuka Hiratsuka, a beautiful college student with long black hair, was still working hard under a lamp in the library, surrounded by piles of books. Since Shirou was working so hard, she couldn't fall behind. She kept learning and striving to become an excellent People's Teacher worthy of his efforts.

Hiratsuka family's parents took all this in stride but couldn't say much. An ideal relationship should be one where couples support and encourage each other, leading to mutual improvement.

And so the two encouraged each other and worked hard together, and time passed day by day. Shizuka Hiratsuka advanced to her second year of university with excellent grades, while Shirou entered junior high school. His face had lost some of its childishness and he looked handsome, although he still had a cute baby face.

In spring, cherry blossoms blanket the entire campus, and on the lush green grass, some students bring long mats for a picnic.

Cheers! Hahaha!

A group of college students, carrying cases of beer and large bottles of liquor, along with various snacks, were indulging in a wild party. This was a privilege reserved only for students of this school.

At this moment, Shirou and Shizuka Hiratsuka were also here, having found a good spot to enjoy the cherry blossoms. Shirou brought a nice bento box to reward Shizuka Hiratsuka for her hard work in studying.

"Here you go, these are all the dishes you like to eat, Shizuka." Shirou smiled and opened the multi-layered bento box. A rich aroma immediately wafted out, revealing fried shrimp, fried chicken nuggets, and other fried foods, along with golden omelets. The second layer contained various kinds of sushi, with glistening rice grains topped with fresh sashimi of different colored sea fish, or rolled with a layer of seaweed and other delicious treats.

"Mmm! This is so delicious! Shirou, your cooking has gotten even better!" Shizuka Hiratsuka had been drooling for a while, and immediately picked up her chopsticks and started eating. The delicious food entered her mouth...

"It's so great that you like it, Shizuka. Here, have some soup." Shirou said with a smile, taking out a thermos and pouring a cup of hot soup for the woman.

Although his cooking skills weren't as perfect as his counterparts in other parallel worlds who focused on cooking every day, Shirou gained the experience to become a head chef at a hotel after more than a year of cooking at home.

This is evident from Bazett's fair and delicate skin, which is nourished by Shirou's cooking every day. The red-haired woman's face glows as if she's using some high-end cosmetics, making the women at the gym extremely envious. Several beauty enthusiasts have even considered risking their lives to attend Bazett's " death course," a course that even muscular men can't endure.

"Mmm, it's so delicious! I can't live without this for the rest of my life, everything else just tastes bland." Shizuka Hiratsuka took the soup, and it was indeed extremely delicious. She squinted her eyes happily and exclaimed.

"Really? That's great!" Shirou replied with a smile.

"Hmm?" Shizuka Hiratsuka paused, her mouth full of food, as if something was amiss. But this was really delicious; she could skip the rest.

"Oh my, Hiratsuka, picnicking with your cute little brother again? You two seem to get along really well." Two female college students, clearly having had a few drinks and grinning mischievously, happened to spot their acquaintance Shizuka Hiratsuka admiring the cherry blossoms nearby and came over to greet her.

He happened to witness this scene and said with a mischievous grin.

"Ah..." Shizuka Hiratsuka was a little embarrassed, unsure how to respond.

However, Shirou stood up first and greeted the female college students.

"Hello, senior students. If you don't mind, please take some of these sushi with you."

"Ah, thank you. What a good boy, so cute, let me pat your head... Hmm?" The female college student patted Shirou's head just like last year. However, when she saw that Shirou was fully standing up, she was stunned for a moment.

She realized that even standing on tiptoe, she couldn't quite reach Shirou's head when he stood up.

After more than a year of hard training, Shirou has changed completely. Perhaps because he also wants to grow up quickly, his height started to increase rapidly after entering junior high school, and he is now over 1.75 meters tall.

Originally, because he transferred to the class, Shirou should have been one or two years younger than his classmates. But now, in terms of both height and physique, he is among the best in the entire school.

"Hmm... Shirou-kun, have you grown taller?" The female companion beside him stared at the boy's face, asking in a puzzled tone.

"Thank you, it's probably because I've been exercising a lot," Shirou replied with a bright smile to the two female college students.

That smile was even more remarkable. His handsome face revealed the refreshing and gentle smile of a boy next door, with a mysterious and healing magic. The two women standing there, facing Shirou's smile, felt as comfortable as if a gentle breeze was blowing on their faces.

Shirou didn't quite understand the power of his smile, but he remembered smiling like that in male host club in another world, and he thought it made him popular, so he copied it.

Chapter 578 The Shizuka Little Handsome Boy is Very Popular

"Hey, Shirou-kun, you've become a handsome guy now. Let's take a picture together." The woman who wanted to pat his head completely changed her attitude, took out her phone, and leaned towards Shirou.

"This is bad, really bad. If he's around for a few more years, he might be an idol-level heartthrob. Anyway, let's exchange contact information first. I'll introduce you to my sister, or maybe you have a brother? Even if he's not a blood relative, it doesn't matter, as long as we're related by blood?"

As the saying goes, it's not the wine that intoxicates, but the person themselves; the two drunken women then leaned against Shirou.

"Oh, Shirou-kun, your arms are so hard and reliable! You said you've been working out? Let me check your training results."

"Why don't we ignore Hiratsuka? We have five or six girls over there, and it's so boring without a single guy. We'd definitely welcome you, handsome guy. Why don't you come have a drink with us?"

The female college student clung to Shirou, trying to pull him away.

"Hey! You guys, are you done yet? You're having a girls' party, aren't you? Go back to your seats, you drunkards!" Shizuka Hiratsuka, who was standing to the side, pushed and shoved the two women back to their original seats.

"Hey, Hiratsuka, want to grab a drink too?" A first-year high school girl greeted him from inside the girls' club.

"Here you go! 60-proof liquor! It's super delicious~!" The woman on the other side poured a full glass of liquor and handed it over.

"No, senpai, I'd better stay with my friend's younger brother. I still need to see him off later," Shizuka Hiratsuka said.

"Wow, Hiratsuka is such a stingy person! She's hogging this handsome guy all to herself!"

"I won't let you go until you drink this cup!"

The two girls immediately hugged Shizuka Hiratsuka's legs and said.

"Drink! I can drink this, right?" Shizuka Hiratsuka took the cup, tilted her head back, and drank it in big gulps, looking every bit the heavy drinker.

"Haha~! As expected of my older sister." The girl clapped her hands and said.
