A Long Day

"Hehehe, this is just Eren's warm-up. We still have ten more exercises to do,” said Ben, laughing a little.

         "What?! There are ten more?!” said Eren surprised.

         "Hehehe welcome to hell," Zoya said while patting Eren's shoulder. The four of them continued their physical training. Eren, who was still out of breath, tried his best to keep up with their rhythm. The Jaguar team started training in lifting weights ranging from light to heavy weight classes. Eren took the lightest dumbbell. It weighs only three kilograms.

         "Hahaha, you're not wrong Eren? Take dumbbells that are only three kilograms. Miyuki alone has lifted five kilograms," said Zoya laughing at Eren.

         "Hehe yes. I warm up first. I don't want my muscles to hurt," said Eren defensively.

         "Hmm fine, it's up to you," Zoya replied.  

         Ben and Jacob started training using the barbell while Zoya and Miyuki practiced using the dumbbells.

         “Ben, last week you were able to lift a hundred kilograms of weight. What's your target for this week?" asked Jacob who was standing beside Ben. Ben was busy fixing the iron ring on the barbell.

         “I will try one hundred and fifty kilograms. Pray for good luck" said Ben. Eren who heard the conversation between Ben and Jacob was surprised and confused.

         "Did I hear wrong? Can Ben lift a hundred kilograms?” Eren asked Zoya.

         "Yes, that's true. He can. Now he's willing to try a hundred and fifty kilograms. I'm sure he must be strong. That's his special ability," Zoya replied as she continued to lift the dumbbells in her hands.

         “Special ability? You've been talking about special abilities, but until now I don't understand what special abilities mean," said Eren curiously.

         "Hehe, you'll find out later. Now it's better for you to focus on your physical training first," answered Zoya. Ben had finished installing the one hundred and fifty kilogram iron hoops. He got into position to lift the barbell.

         "Come on Ben, you can do it!" said Miyuki encouragingly. The entire Jaguar team surrounded Ben who was already in a position to lift the super heavy barbell.

         "Ben! Ben! Ben!” everyone cheered for Ben to fuel his spirits. Only Eren was silent and curious to see Ben's action.

         "Arghhh!" Ben started to lift the barbell. His muscles started to tense up. Her face started to turn red from holding her breath. All the Jaguar team watched it with great tension and finally with great difficulty, Ben managed to lift the one hundred and fifty kilogram dumbbell.

         "Yes! I knew you could do it!” said Jacob with satisfaction. The entire Jaguar team will applaud loudly. They are proud to see his partner can lift such a heavy load.

         "I told you, Ben can do it," Zoya said as she nudged Eren's hand.

         "Yes he did. I can't believe what I saw. Ben is really amazing," said Eren with great admiration. After seeing Ben's performance, the Jaguar team continued their physical training. Some practice push ups, sit ups, treadmills and various other things.

         "Hosh...hosh..hosh..." Eren's breath was heavy and panting. He had already finished all the physical exercises that day. Jaguar team also looked exhausted at that time.

         "What about Eren? Can you still survive here? Hehehe," Zoya said while gulping cold water down her throat.

         "I can survive. You don't have to worry about me," replied Eren with a face covered in sweat.

         Silently, Doctor Catherine, Doctor Richard and Professor Alex watched the Jaguar team from a distance.

         "What do you think, Professor? Do you think Eren will survive here?” asked Doctor Catherine who was standing beside Professor Alex.

         "He will survive. He should be able to…” Professor Alex answered slowly.

         After doing physical exercise, Eren was taken by the Jaguar team to the foodcourt in the building.

         “You must have never seen the food court here, huh. You'll be surprised Eren" Miyuki said enthusiastically. A few steps later, Eren and the Jaguar team arrived at the food court. Eren was again surprised to see the food court there. The food court place is so big and spacious. In the food court, there were so many people eating and chatting. The atmosphere of the food court was so crowded. Many people were chatting and laughing loudly. 

         Eren paid close attention to the people who were there. Some people there wear different uniforms. There are black, there are yellow and various other color variants.

         "What do you want to eat Eren? All food is available here,” Miyuki asked.

         "Hmm, what are you eating? I'll just go with you," Eren said resignedly.

         “I want to eat ramen. I miss my country. You want some ramen?” Miyuki asked. Of all the Jaguar teams, Miyuki is the friendliest to Eren. Therefore, Eren often chatted with Miyuki.

         "May. Incidentally I also haven't eaten ramen in a long time."

         "Guys, you guys are looking for something to eat, huh. We'll meet again here, okay?" Miyuki said. Ben, Zoya and Jacob separate from the team. Each of them searched for food according to their respective tastes. Meanwhile, Eren and Miyuki ordered ramen at Miyuki's favorite shop.

         "What do you want? I want soyu ramen," Miyuki said. Eren looked through the list of menus that were there.

         "Hmm, I'll just order ramen curry," replied Eren. After waiting for a while, the ramen they ordered had arrived.

"Thank you," said Miyuki as she brought the two bowls of ramen she and Miyuki ordered. Eren was a little confused by Miyuki's attitude.

"You didn't pay for this meal, Miyuki?" asked Eren confused.

"Pay? What do you pay for? Everything here is free. You can eat all you want without paying anything here. These are all included in the Hope organization facility.

"What?! Are you serious?" asked Eren in disbelief.

"Yes I am serious. This is one of the advantages of being the 'chosen one', said Miyuki as she walked towards the dining table that had been booked by the Jaguar team. Eren was still dumbfounded at Miyuki's answer. He walked after Miyuki from behind.

         "Wow, what did you order Zoya?" Miyuki asked while placing her bowl of ramen on the dining table.

         “I ordered the black pepper steak. I've been wanting to eat this for a long time," Zoya replied.

         "Oh I see. What do you order, Ben?” Miyuki asked.

         “Because he'd only managed to lift a hundred and fifty kilograms, Ben took almost all the food that was here. You see, he eats a lot, hahaha," said Jacob jokingly.

         Ben did bring a lot of food. Starting from steak, spaghetti, pasta to hamburgers on the table. Ben does have a big body so he needs more energy.

         "Eren, what did you eat?" asked Zoya who was sitting next to Eren.

         "Oh I ordered curry ramen," replied Eren.

         "You eat only a little so? Would you be full enough to eat a little like that?” asked Zoya.

         "Full Zoya. I don't really eat too much, really," replied Eren.

         Eren and the Jaguar team enjoyed dinner while chatting late into the night. Finally Eren officially joined Team Jaguar. This is a long day for Eren.
