Hijack: Becoming The Strongest Hunter By Stealing Skills.

Chapter 5: Training continues



After being left in awe by the behaviour of his trainer Min-Ju with a face that shows a mix of determination and exhaustion.

He stands up with his brows furrowed and his jaws clenched against one another showing the pain in his face as he moved out of the gym towards his room with each steps feeling deliberate, as if he was forcing his leg to obey,as his knees buckle with each step.

As he leaned forward using his momentum to push himself forward. As each of his step looks like a battle between his determination and body limit as he moved towards his room.

As he got to his room his leg gave up beneath him as he falls on his bed,which felt like the only thing that could give him support at that time after he gave in to the fatigue he had been experiencing from the excruciating exercise.

After some moment which didn't seemed like a siesta as his face once tight with strain softened and his brow smoothed out giving out a faint smile though the pain of his soreness of his muscle was still noticeable by him.

But it was now bearable and after a little bit of stretching after the siesta he went to take a bath which seemed to reduce the throbbing pain he was feeling completely.

Later, we see Rin having his breakfast which consist of a perfectly grilled chicken which was golden brown with beautifully grill marks running across its surface as each bite was a symphony of flavors, accompanied by a greek yoghurt with a banana serving as the dessert.

After the heart warming meal Rin had the disdain he had for Min-Ju seemed to disappear as he couldn't argue since he just had a good meal and allowing the food to digest and relaxing a little bit it was up to the next task which was the weighted mountain climb.

Later, we see Min-Ju with eyes sharp and inquisitive with her jaws tightly clenched giving Rin the no nonsense expression as He stood in front of her and with a firm and authoritive voice she asked,

"Have you ever done a weighted mountain climb before"

With his eyes avoiding direct contact and glancing downward Rin replied,

"No, I haven't ever gone for a weighted mountain climb before, it was from you that I I first heard the word 'weighted mountain climb' but I am familiar with a mountain hiking".

Looking at Rin's face Min-Ju rubbed the back of her neck exhaling sharply,before giving Rin an explanation.

"It is just like a normal mountain hike but you have a little bit of weight on you serving as a resistance during the hike the main purpose of this is to make your muscles work harder and also increase your pain tolerance with this I think you understand what I mean by weighted mountain climb.

"As she glanced at his face for a sign of understanding.

As Rin's eyebrows lifts realization as he said "Oh, I get it now."

After seeing that Rin got the explanation

she returned back to her no nonsense facial expression and with a firm voice she commanded Rin,

"Go and get the equipment to the car trunk right now and ensure you don't forget anything as there is no coming back to get materials or anything else."

Lifting one of the vest up he hunched forward and with his eyebrows raised he looked in horror and said to himself,

"Am I suppose to wear this up a mountain is there anything simple about this training, I might consider running away now ."

After sometime he had successfully gotten everything to the trunk of the car and he was sweating profusely as someone just trying weight lifting for the first time.

And they were now ready to start going to the mountain they were going to do the hike.

After a search and ensuring that everything was complete after a thorough check as Min-Ju didn't want any mean of excuse during the hike.

Then, after cross checking if everything was complete she went inside the car with Rin at the front of the car with his face in anticipation for the new adventure about to come.

Then suddenly, as Min-Ju was about to turn the key to start the car she froze mid-step as her eyes furrowed and her eyes narrowed slightly,as if the answer she has looking for just came towards her reach. Then, she said abruptly

"I knew I forgot something the hiking pole is still inside."

With his lips pressed into an almost straight line trying to show his disappointment after pointing towards someone at the back seat of the car.

"The hiking pole is actually at the back of the car you were the one that told me to keep it over there for easy access." He said in a tone trying to cover his disappointment.

"Sorry I forgot", Min-Ju said with her eyes trying to avoid direct contact with Rin as she was in an imaginary pool of her oblivious mistake as she started the journey towards their destination.

After like thirty minutes the arrived at Mount Suldeck which was about 2500 meters tall with rocky trails and a little of sparse vegetation.

As they left the car and he had uploaded the hiking equipment from the car. Rin looked towards the mountain, with his eyes steady unfazed by the sight of the mountain he said in a confident tone,

"The mountain isn't actually that high".

With her lips restrained, forming a slight upward curve forming a mischievous smile Min-Ju looked at Rin and in an explanatory tone she said,

"Yeah,it might look like an easy hike but don't forget that this time around you are having weights on which will serve as resistance during your climb.

So, don't overestimate your potential and get dressed now because your training is getting started soon.

With his eyebrows furrowed and lips smirked he looked in realization of the obvious truth as he was about to get his gear on and as soon as he got to the weighted vest his realization became reality as he felt the vest was pushing him down and the came the leg weights were no jokes either.

As he had all the gear on his back he slightly leaned forward trying to counter balance the weight of the but not hunched but his legs were still strong and steady with only his knee slightly bent and as each step felt like dragging a boulder uphill while not on the mountain yet.

As Min-Ju called out to him he knew this wasn't going to be easy but he was going to get through with it.
