At dusk, still next to the extremely remote and fast-flowing river, Shenji was doing one-finger push-ups with his shirtless and sweaty face, and there were some weights on his back, which visually estimated to be no less than 50 kilograms.

Perhaps because he is still in the growth stage or for other reasons, long-term continuous exercise has not turned Shinji into a big muscular man.

From the outside, even though the muscle lines on his body are obvious, he is still just a somewhat thin adolescent boy who is much taller than boys of the same age.

Holding some student union materials in his hands, Rin stood on the river embankment far away and looked at Shinji's figure in the distance, his thoughts couldn't help but be pulled back to three years ago.

By chance, I happened to be passing by and found Shinji doing physical training that was not suitable for his age.

After doing 300 push-ups with one hand, I jumped into a freezing cold and fast river, swam against the current, and was carried far away by the fast current again and again but never gave up...

The countless signs on the shore may be signs of successful challenges.

The young man who reached a new milestone climbed exhausted from the river to the shore, and lay on the shore breathing heavily with joy on his face, as happy as if he had accomplished another goal.

That day, when the boy left, he understood the boy's identity through the girl waiting on the river embankment - Matou Shinji, the eldest son of the Matou family whose magic circuit was rumored to be blocked.

And that girl was none other than his original sister—Mato Sakura, whose real name was Tohsaka Sakura.

Since then, Rin has been coming here from time to time, and there is a high probability that he can see Shinji doing increasingly abnormal physical training that is inappropriate for his age, risking his life.

Every time, when looking at Shinji doing training that is almost impossible or that will definitely hurt his body, Rin always thinks - it's absolutely impossible, right?

However, every time Shenji insisted on completing the next level of physical training, you must know that this person is not even a magician, and it is like a miracle to do such a thing.

And there are still miracles one after another.

Can such a miracle be achieved with just hard work and persistence? Rin once asked himself, and tried physical training in the basement of his home that was far different from Shinji's, but failed.

I only accomplished half of the tasks I set and then I couldn’t persevere.

Being too tired to get up, all he thought about at that time was giving up, but the figure of Shinji appeared in his mind immediately.

Why did he continue to persevere when he was washed away by the fast river again and again? What on earth was he thinking at that time... No, the boy didn't think about anything. His eyes never strayed from the target.

Maybe this is the only thing I am lacking.

From that day on, Rin also began to imitate Shenji's training mode. Although the intensity was not comparable, he still increased his training intensity little by little as his physical strength allowed.

Until one time, I accidentally adjusted the intensity of the physical training a little bit higher. Just when there was only a little bit left in the physical training, there was no strength left in my body, and the barbell in my hand was about to fall due to overdraft.

on the ground.

However, at the last moment, looking at the amount of today's physical training tasks posted on the wall beside him, a force surged out of his body, causing Rin to once again tighten his grip on the barbell in his hand and put the last little bit of it into his hands.

Finish.

After finishing, Rin, who was so weak that he lay motionless on the floor, looked at the ceiling and suddenly laughed for no reason.

It turns out that I can do it too. Does he feel the same way every time? Is that why he smiles so happily after completing that kind of perverted training?

It does feel like an addictive joy.

Rin didn't know that Shinji was just happy because he completed the system task, which was completely different from the happiness he thought he had!

Later, I would still watch his increasingly abnormal physical training from time to time, and occasionally I would still have the feeling that this is absolutely impossible, right? This is the feeling that it is absolutely impossible.

However, there was still no failure.

This man is a madman, a madman who treats himself extremely cruelly. Rin complained in his heart more than once, but he still stared at Shenji's figure.

Especially the expression of joy that Shinji shows from the bottom of his heart every time after training is something I never tire of watching.

Because of a person, Rin began to believe in some things that she didn't care about before, such as persistence, perseverance, hard work, and...

Miracle.

Then, there was the confession last year that caught me off guard.

In April when the cherry blossoms are in bloom, the cherry blossoms are constantly falling at the school gate.

Rin, who had just entered junior high school, looked at Shinji standing outside the school gate with his eyes closed in disbelief, and subconsciously thought that the other person had entered the same junior high school as him.

However, when she discovered that the other party's school uniform was completely different from that of the boys around her, Rin dismissed the idea, and at the same time, she felt a little disappointed for some reason.

Afterwards, the climax arrives——

"Hey, do you want to be my girlfriend?"

He opened his eyes, turned around, and said the first thing to himself, which stunned him.

Is there anyone in this world who confesses to you the first time they meet? Is his brain full of muscles?

By the way, you are too young, right?

Rin stared at Shenji blankly for a while before he came back to his senses, and his face turned completely red the moment he came back to his senses.

"You, you, you, you guys, do you know what you are talking about?!"

"No?" Shenji asked curiously.

"You, you, you, you..." Rin looked embarrassed and angry and couldn't even speak clearly.

"Ah, if it doesn't work, forget it, just treat it as an April Fool's Day joke. Goodbye, unknown girl."

Seeing Shenji turning around and leaving after leaving such a sentence, Rin, who felt anger rising in his heart, kicked him directly.

"You did it on purpose! You bastard!!"

This was the first and only overly dramatic conversation and exchange between the two.

...

Rin brought back his distant thoughts little by little. When he looked at Shenji in the distance, he had already finished doing push-ups and sit-ups with one finger, as well as standing up and raising his legs in place, and took off his clothes.

took off his pants.

Looking at the blue swimming trunks that Shinji was wearing with cute anime girl designs on them, Rin sighed softly.

This guy's swimming trunks style is so unique.

Looking at Shenji who had sandbags and weights tied to his legs, arms and body, Rin secretly calculated that those weights alone were at least more than the combined weight of the two Shens.

——This guy is really getting more and more cruel to me. Aren’t you afraid of physical damage? You can’t fight so hard, right?

thump!

Looking at Shinji jumping into the river, even Rin, who had witnessed many "miracles", still felt a little sweat for Shinji in his heart.
Chapter completed!
