Time passes slowly and flies quickly.
Long's first performance was mediocre and did not cause any waves.
He was neither the opening nor the closing act; he was merely there to warm up the crowd between performances, so naturally there was no pressure.
Ever since he started performing, the idle Hisoka took over his job and began to be responsible for the logistics of the troupe, such as... washing clothes, organizing props, etc.
One performance after another, gradually...Morittonio Circus began to become famous in Gram.
The business of the group has improved a lot.
In addition to rehearsing performances during the day, Long has also been training himself at night.
Even though he lived under the same roof with Hisoka, he didn't hide anything and when the time came, he just got up and left.
He is madly squeezing out his rest time.
Of course...doing so also made his training results even more significant.
……
At night...in a remote park in Gram City.
Long had sandbags tied to his limbs and was carrying a heavy object, crawling on the ground... His clothes were already soaked, and sweat kept dripping from his face onto the soil.
After crawling back and forth more than ten times, he began to use his hands and feet to climb trees with his bare hands.
Then, follow the system's instructions and start hitting the tree trunk...
Each set of exercises was completed strictly according to the system's arrangement without any negligence.
Before we knew it, a hint of paleness appeared on the horizon.
Finally, Long stopped, took off his equipment, and gasped with a dry mouth.
The chest rises and falls like a bellows.
"The strength and flexibility of my body... judging from the numbers, they have been honed to almost perfection. It's time to start practicing traditional Chinese martial arts." After calming his breath, he spread out his calloused palms with a satisfied smile.
At this moment, he has undergone a complete transformation compared to more than a month ago.
This change is amazing!
The most obvious thing is his body, which has clear lines, a stronger and tougher body, and a whole body size larger... At first glance, he looks no different from an adult.
With this posture, even if others just look at it, they can feel the power contained in the body.
To maintain a strong body in more than a month is almost impossible in the eyes of outsiders!
But he did it.
In addition to the role of the system... Long believes that a large part of the relationship is related to this world.
After all, this is not Earth... the living environment and power system are also different.
Perverts abound.
Moreover, his current level of flesh and blood has only increased to a level that is inconsistent with his age, and is still far from the ultimate level of his physical body.
But in such a short period of time, he is already very satisfied with this kind of growth.
"It seems that this body of mine...at least in terms of physique, has some talent and potential..."
"Compared with traditional training methods, the system provides what can be called a devilish teaching method... Although it is extremely painful and torturous, the results of the specialization are obvious and they are all the essence!" Long feels that... as long as the system is there, he will have a clear direction forward.
In addition, he is familiar with the plot and can benefit greatly from it. This way, it is equivalent to doing twice the result with half the effort and adding wings to the tiger!
After taking off his wet clothes, Long's muscular body was steaming in the night.
The body temperature is very high.
"It's almost time..."
Long said this, and just as he took a step forward, he suddenly stopped.
Directly in front of him, a familiar figure sat on a park bench, legs crossed, "Are you going home?"
Hisoka!
"when did you come?"
Long frowned.
"I was here a long time ago... you were just so focused on your training that you didn't notice me."
Xi Suo stretched lazily, "I can't sleep either. It's boring to be alone..."
"..."
Long was silent.
It's not a pleasant feeling to be spied on.
Especially... the person who was peeping was Hisoka, which always made him feel a little uneasy.
"Hey…"
Hisoka tilted his head, resting one hand on his cheek, and slightly opened his smiling eyes. His tone was different from before, "You seem to have something on your mind... I always feel like you are shouldering something... You are different from the others in the group. As a friend, I wonder if I can have the honor to listen to your secret? Maybe... I can help..."
As soon as the word secret came out.
Long's eyes turned cold, and he grinned, staring at Xi Suo unscrupulously, "Do you really want to help me?"
After spending some time together, Oboro has become somewhat familiar with Hisoka's personality.
This guy definitely doesn't have such good intentions... Rather than helping, it's better to say... he wants to dig out some 'bait' that can entertain him.
Mainly...he knew this guy's character too well.
"of course."
Hisoka laughed cheerfully.
"Okay...can you just die?"
Long said word by word.
"You're angry?"
Hisoka raised his brows.
He looked around as if no one was around and walked away with big strides.
"Don't be so heartless... Don't worry, I will keep your affairs a secret."
"I hope you understand...you and I are just colleagues, not friends."
"Yeah...I understand."
Hisoka caught up slowly and responded in a very perfunctory manner.
Chapter 3 Hisoka's Situation
"I object! Moritonio... actually took in that kid whose origins were unknown!"
"Hisoka is different from Oboro and Abbachi. Oboro and Abbachi are at least of some use in the group and are very obedient... As for Hisoka, even though he always has a smiling face, I always find him inexplicably annoying!"
"Don't be like this, Boli Ze... You know, I was just a thief disguised as a shoemaker. Besides, didn't you also have no place to live and even slept in a public toilet?"
In a room, the leader was sitting on the sofa, discussing something with a key member of the group.
The man named Belize was a fat man with a funny haircut and exaggerated clothes, which fit the image of a circus very well.
"That was a long time ago. Besides... we have received an invitation from Royal Gram, which is extremely important to us! We may even become famous overnight and be heard throughout the continent of Ubian... In addition to the mayor, there are many nobles as guests... They are very strict in reviewing the qualifications of performers! What if... I mean what if, because of that guy Hisoka, the invitation is cancelled..."
Berize snorted.
"The Royal Gram show will be held in two months. It's a bit unnecessary for you to worry about it now."
The leader crossed his fingers and soothed.
The fat man wanted to say something else, but at this moment, Moritonio's eyes turned under his glasses and glanced at the two figures that appeared in the corridor upstairs.
It was none other than Oboro and Hisoka.
Two young men stood side by side, one with a blank expression and the other with a smile.
Obviously, the conversation between the two had been heard by them.
"You really are not likable at all... You have been in the group for such a long time." Long put his hands in his pockets and said lightly.
"I can't help it... these people are too hostile to me."
Xi Suo smiled and said indifferently.
"You should look for your own reasons." Long pointed out bluntly.
"I really envy you...Everyone takes such good care of you."
Hisoka looked at Long's profile, as if he didn't understand what he said at all.
"Behind you..."
Seeing that Bolize was about to continue speaking, the captain coughed and reminded him.
The fat man paused, turned his head, and finally saw Oboro and Hisoka.
Hisoka met the former's gaze, bent down, put his arms on the railing, waved, and said enthusiastically: "Your performance just now was amazing!"
"Humph!"
It seemed that Belizer was not impressed by Hisoka's praise. Instead, he spat and stood up to leave.
"Oops, did I disturb you..."
Hisoka didn't look at the fat man, but looked at the captain as if he knew the answer.
"Hisso..."
Moritonio looked up and suddenly asked, "Can you do magic?"
Long, who was standing by, felt a tightness in his heart.
As a user of Nen, the captain's observation is undoubtedly meticulous... Although Hisoka hid very well, he has been watching the performances of other members, and... from some of his daily behaviors, it can be seen that Hisoka is different from ordinary people.
