In the end, no one was actually punished for their actions. Then again, because of the situation last night, most of the girls happened to see what was going on since they peeked in the hallway while the three boys were being escorted.
The walk of shame was something that they didn't want to experience again, and they deemed it unfair that Satoshi wasn't there with them. He was able to get away.
"How did you—" Jonathan cut short when he realized that Satoshi teleported into their room via his summoner who could manifest dimensional portals. That was the only explanation he could think of.
Creak~
An awkward silence filled the room as soon as Jane Watts closed the door behind her. After a couple of seconds, the four of them started laughing at each other.
"Haha! Did you see Satoshi's face when he couldn't fit in the closet with us?" Himuro laughed out loud.
"Yeah, haha!"
Satoshi remained silent since saying anything would just remind them more of what transpired back then. He didn't want to bring anything up for fear that they'd remember the kiss. Well, his mind replayed it a couple of times but now, he wasn't even that affected by it.
Since it was already late, the four of them felt the exhaustion overcoming them and they realized that they'd be having more training tomorrow. Right now, they had to maximize their rest time as much as they could, otherwise, it might bite them back when training comes.
Even though they wanted to continue the fun they had, they had to take a break and sleep the night. A long day awaited them tomorrow, and they had to be prepared for it.
...
Fresh morning dew enveloped the grassy fields of the open area of the dorms, bringing in a crisp scent that flourished in the vicinity. It was a comfortable welcome for the Disciples who were just about to greet the new day.
Even though it was still early, a figure was already doing laps around the school, hitting his usual ten-mile run on schedule.
Wearing a skintight shirt and shorts, Satoshi continued to run around the school before stopping by the front entrance so he could get a quick snack by the snack bar. Initially, he wanted to get an early breakfast but he figured that he'd probably be invited by Jonathan and the others to join them.
That's why he put off eating breakfast for now. Instead, he grabbed a quick snack before he put in another workout.
As mentioned before, the facilities in the dorms were top-notch, and it was complete. From pools to gyms, you name it. That's why as soon as Kazuichi grabbed a couple of french fries from the snack bar, he headed straight to the gym.
In the gym, there were a couple of functions one could play around with when they were working out. One was the power dampener, which shuts down the body's ability to expend supernatural energy, allowing them to work out on a purely physical level. Then two, the gravity control, which allows them to put more pressure on the body while they were working out.
When Satoshi walked in, he noticed that there was a man working out. Based on his profused sweating, Satoshi could tell that he had been there for more than an hour. "Wow... then again, he's a Disciple, he's probably much stronger than me," Satoshi said to himself as he went to the bars so he could work out his upper body.
That's when he noticed that the man was actually built like a truck. He looked twice Satoshi's age, and he was deadlifting 2000lbs with a power dampener and gravity control set to 2 (A setting of two meant that the gravity was twice the gravity on Earth).
Not only did he deadlift it once, he repeatedly do it until he reached ten counts. He was wearing a belt though, but even then it was an impressive feat. He was easily carrying 4000 lbs of weight.
"Whoa~ that's strong," Satoshi said. He already assumed that the man was far stronger than him, but seeing it in actuality made him believe even more.
Sensing that someone was looking at him, the man grunted as he turned around. Satoshi didn't want any trouble so he scooted to the farthest bar and started doing some controlled pullups. He didn't want to show off as well so he acted as if he was having a hard time doing it.
The man didn't question him about anything though, and he just went on with his next two sets of deadlifts.
Now that the man wasn't looking, Satoshi adjusted the gravity to 3x the amount before he started doing his pull-ups. "Maybe I'll embarrass myself so I'll just stick to a comfortable weight." He said to himself.
What Satoshi didn't know was that the man was actually observing him. While he started doing his reps, the man assumed that he was using his power since the power dampener was not on. And yet, he didn't feel any energy emanating from Satoshi.
He couldn't believe it. How could a teenager pull 3x his weight without difficulty? Satoshi wasn't even breathing too hard and it even looked like he was doing normal pullups.
This got the man curious and he continued observing Satoshi in silence.
For some reason, Satoshi felt like he was doing it pretty easily. He wasn't even out of breath at all so he went down and adjusted the gravity control to 5x his weight. Surely, he won't be able to pull it off.
And just to make sure, Satoshi turned on the power dampener so he wouldn't subconsciously use any of his superpowers.
"Are you kidding me right now?" The man asked himself. He had a southern accent but Satoshi didn't hear any of his monologues since he was talking under his breath. He stopped his sets altogether since he wanted to see if Satoshi could really pull it off.
The man was invested now, and he carefully approached Satoshi just as he was about to do his first set.
Satoshi pulled one up, then another, then another. He was shocked that he was repping the pull-up like normal. He could feel the tension, but somehow, his muscles could handle the stress.
"No, this isn't possible. The gravity control must be faulty." The man said as he watched. Satoshi already did ten reps.
Without further ado, the man walked towards the section where the gravity control was activated. And sure enough, he felt as if he got heavier five times than normal. He could hardly walk.
And yet... Satoshi was acting normal. He was jumping up and down, shaking his hands, and even throwing a couple of light jabs here and there. "What's going on? This is weird!" Satoshi said to himself as he cranked the gravity control all the way to ten times.
Although he was chosen as a Disciple, even ten times his body weight with a power dampener was a bit too much. At this point, the man couldn't move anymore. He simply stood there, tightening every fiber of his muscle and hardening his posture so he won't break any of his bones.
One small move, no, even one small mistake of tilting his body a little bit would result in a grave injury. Sure he could heal it in an instant the moment the power dampener was deactivated, but it would hurt nonetheless.
That's when Satoshi was beginning to feel some tension, but he still thought it was durable. Without further ado, he jumped on the bar and started doing some pull-ups.
At first, his muscles seemed to not cooperate and he couldn't pull himself up. But after a couple of seconds, Satoshi felt like he could do it and he pulled himself up, getting to the top of the bar in an instant. He still felt some tension, but he could do it.
"Now, for a muscle-up." Satoshi said to himself as he pulled up and transitioned into a dip. He was able to perform a muscle up with ten times the gravity weighing him down.
"Whoa, this is crazy!" Satoshi celebrated. Right as he turned around, he noticed that the guy was actually standing right behind him.
The man actually remained quiet for fear that he would disturb Satoshi's workout. That's why he stood perfectly still.
"What are you doing?" Satoshi asked, seeing as the man was just standing still without doing anything. He completely forgot that they were both being pressured with ten times the gravity.
"I've mastered the ability of standing so incredibly still that I become invisible to the eye" He grunted as if to reference something.
"Right..." Satoshi trailed off, wondering what was wrong with the man. "Do you want to do some pull-ups?" He willingly offered.
"Of course not, I want to get out of here. Turn off that gravity control and power dampener." The man grunted a second time.
"Please?" He continued. "The name's Draco, by the way. Draco Meteor."
