Adrian leads the way, with Levi following closely behind.
Even at his young age of seven, Levi's potential far surpasses that of his peers, thanks to the blood of the Ackerman family.
Without the enhanced physique provided by Adrian, it would be challenging for him to keep up with Ackerman Levi, who is one year his junior.
Half an hour later.
"Wow! The speed of Big Brother hasn't changed after all this running..."
"At this time before, he would have already slowed down."
Looking at Adrian still walking steadily ahead, Levi couldn't help but be surprised.
In the past year, they also stole things in order to survive.
When the two of them stole and ran before, every time Adrian would run out of breath.
So it was always Levi who pulled Adrian along at the end of the run.
But today, when the five of them came out to exercise, Levi suddenly noticed something different about his big brother.
He seemed much stronger than before.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but wonder:
Could it be that Big Brother was holding back and letting me lead before? To cheer me?
With this thought, Levi looked at Adrian's retreating figure in the distance and was deeply moved.
Then he quickened his pace again, wanting to get closer to Adrian.
Five slender figures swiftly traversed the alleys.
Time passed slowly.
As the sun gradually set, the underground street began to darken.
The underground world plunges into darkness much earlier than the surface.
"What's that sound? This eerie place never quiets down." An old woman said with irritation.
"As it gets dark, could it be a thief?"
Some residents heard footsteps on the street.
Filled with doubt, they chose to tightly shut their windows without hesitation.
The underground street at night, without the Military Police Regiment patrolling, belongs to the world of underground gangsters.
It's also the darkest time in the underground street.
Thus, at night, residents shut their doors tightly.
Even if someone were to be stabbed on the street, they would not dare to intervene.
So, when they heard any sound, their first instinct was to close their doors and windows.
Any unusual noise made their hearts race.
In the already oppressive environment underground, many people's spirits are somewhat disturbed.
Soon.
Among the original group of five, only Adrian and Levi were still running.
The other three had long been left behind, out of sight.
Levi looked at Adrian's disappearing figure and pushed himself harder.
He was already drenched in sweat, and his steps had slowed.
His legs began to feel weak.
But Levi still didn't entertain the idea of giving up.
Because Adrian was still running.
Up ahead, Adrian ran steadily, his face glistening with sweat.
Feeling his stomach digesting food rapidly, Adrian's legs, though a bit sore and swollen, grew stronger.
He had come out to exercise mainly to increase the rate of food consumption.
The second reason was for fitness.
...
♠Point System♠
System Panel:
Host: Adrian Alister
Current World: Attack On Titan
Constitution: 1.3
Points: 0 (10%)
Skills: Cooking LV0, Fighting LV0, Forging LV0...
...
Looking at the system panel, Adrian noticed that his point progress had increased from 1.5% to 10%.
After several days of exercising, the rate of increase in points had accelerated significantly.
...
At night, the underground street is pitch black.
In this underground city, faint light can be seen emanating from the closed doors and windows of the residents.
Adrian sat at the entrance of his stronghold.
Sweat slowly dried on his fair face, and the stagnant air of the underground carried a slightly salty scent.
He was the first to return after running around the underground mall.
The underground street was built by the royal family to evade Titans but was abandoned due to long-lasting peace.
However, although deserted, the underground street covers a vast area.
It's a massive deserted city.
So running a lap is no simple task.
Therefore, long after Adrian returned, Levi and the others stumbled back one by one.
When the few of them returned to the stronghold, they were exhausted, panting heavily, like dead dogs.
"Huff! Huff! Ahh!"
They collapsed on the steps in front of the stronghold, gasping for air, lacking even the strength to move.
Observing the exhausted figures around him, Adrian knew there was still a long way to go in training these subordinates.
"Go and get me a towel, quick," Adrian said.
Before anyone could have said anything-
"Coming." A cute voice came from inside.
"Here, Boss!" Isabel emerged from the room, holding a warm towel, and handed it respectfully to Adrian.
Adrian glanced at Isabel, then accepted the towel with a slight nod.
He then wiped the sweat from his face.
Adrian is quite satisfied with Isabel's quick thinking and attentiveness.
Not long after he returned, Fran, who had been secretly observing Isabel, reported on Isabel's behavior to him.
From the report, he learned about Isabel's performance.
Upon confirming that Isabel had done nothing wrong, Adrian's initially cold demeanor towards Isabel softened slightly.
Seeing Adrian take the towel and his expression not as frosty as before, Isabel, who had showered and changed into clean clothes, couldn't help but feel elated.
A faint smile graced her face.
Freshened up, Isabel, originally very cute, now resembled a little porcelain doll.
Though she looked somewhat pale due to prolonged hunger, her potential as a beauty was still evident.
From Isabel's perspective, although Adrian seemed fierce in the beginning. Now, when she got closer to him, she felt the sense of security that Adrian brought to everyone as their boss.
