A child not even six years old, expected to do 500 push-ups. This brutal training method would be all over the news in Itsuki's world…
But Itsuki knew that this was just a warm-up for the Might family's taijutsu!
"Come on, let's see what I can really do!"
As soon as Might Dai left, Itsuki got down on his hands and knees, his entire body tense like steel, the barely noticeable muscles in his arms trembling slightly. But after just a few reps, a dull ache started to rise from his bones. Babies are babies not just because they are weak, but also because their bones are soft.
"Whew~~"
Itsuki gasped for breath, hot air hitting the floor, kicking up dust.
"183, 184…"
All Itsuki could think about was these numbers. It was as if the meaning of his life was to make these numbers grow slowly. Every meridian, every muscle was screaming, reminding him with the production of lactic acid, you're at your limit, give up, you've done enough…
"No, don't be ridiculous! This is far from my limit!"
Itsuki's eyes turned red, he roared! A new wave of strength seemed to surge through his body. "189. 190. 191…"
Then, Itsuki exploded, his arms suddenly exerted force, his whole body was like a small pile driver, frantically rising and falling, the number of push-ups increasing rapidly with the passage of time!
"231!"
But when this number appeared, Itsuki felt as if he suddenly lost weight, no matter how hard he tried, his body didn't respond at all, just fell straight towards the ground.
He reached his limit!
This wasn't Itsuki's limit, but the limit of this infant body…
"231?"
Itsuki watched his body slowly approach the floor, about to crash into the dust, when a pair of warm hands suddenly caught him.
Might Dai, he was back!
"Might Dai-san…"
Itsuki looked at Might Dai, who was sweating, and smiled wryly. "I didn't complete the task, 231 was my limit!"
Although he hadn't completed the task, Itsuki felt no guilt, because he felt he had reached his limit. However…
"No, this is far from your limit!"
Might Dai grabbed Itsuki's arm. "Human bodies have no limits!"
Hearing this, Itsuki couldn't help but disagree. "But just now, I really ran out of strength, I pushed myself to the limit to do twenty more."
"No, training isn't about pushing yourself to the limit."
Might Dai gently massaged Itsuki's arm. "Do you remember 185? You were about to reach your limit then, why did you find another burst of strength?"
"Peak Performance?"
Itsuki blurted out involuntarily.
Might Dai nodded slightly. "In fact, Peak Performance is the reason why the human body has no limits."
"Every time you reach your limit, as long as you grit your teeth and persevere, your body will always provide you with new strength." Speaking of this, Might Dai's expression suddenly became serious. "But, this strength is not for you to use to explode, it's for you to persevere until you reach the next peak…"
Speaking of this, Might Dai stared intently at Itsuki. "Remember, training is not about exploding. Exploding means giving up…"
"Exploding, means giving up!"
Itsuki felt as if he had been struck by lightning, he couldn't help but mutter to himself. "So, that's why Might Dai is so strong?"
Reaching the peak is not difficult, exceeding the peak is not difficult either. The only difficulty is enduring the loneliness and suffering, using the new strength generated from the peak, constantly persevering, until the next peak arrives.
