Quash looked at his stats after 12 days of hard work. There was nothing special about the Stats. The increase was getting kore difficult as expected. Because after increasing his training difficulty, his stats barely experienced any growth compared to the amount of effort he has put it.
Another week has passed since the time when the newcomer joined. Through this time, Quash and the Gym bros has trained relentlessly. The gym bros also managed to reduce the cycle time to a matter of minutes. But the most explosive growth among everyone was experienced by the newcomer.
His stats started to climb like they were on a race. His growth was painfully visible to the eyes. He had also followed Quash’s advice and did the pulling Method. And within just 7 days, he could complete a cycle within just on 1 minutes!
Quash was very impressed. The newcomer definitely had some talent. But he wasn’t one to judge. He himself was trash. Since his base line of judging others was himself, he can’t tell what was what.
So he just offered congratulations and moved on. The veteran gym bros felt the pressure of getting over taken by a newcomer. Some felt fired up and worked extra hard while some were a bit his hearted.
But Quash had called all of them and told them that just cause they maybe bad in the Knight Path doesn’t mean its the end of the world. They may have different talents in different fields. Because of situation, they couldn’t explore those talent of theirs. If they manage to get into Academy City, they could the look for the field they were good at.
He also used himself as an example. Talked about his talent in Knight Path and his plan to start walking the MagiCraft path when he goes to the academy.
He didn’t know how much his speech had impacted them bur they nodded and moved on. He didn’t think much of it and moved on as well.
But the most astonishing part was that, after the newcomer joined, as if a fuse had been lit, others also started to join in.
Right now, the loner group was the largest group in the park. The veteran gym bros would teach them. Quash was asked every now and them if they could join by someone new. He just shouted that anyone can just come in and train with them. If they want to know how thy trained, ask anyone and they will answer.
Quash had expected the atmosphere in other groups to cool down a bit but it seemed like some else fuse was lit and they became even more defensive and secretive.
They would send spies to collect information which the members of loner group would immediately report to Quash.
He would just sigh and tell them how they trained and sent them away, telling them to not distribute anyone if they don’t want to train with them.
Seeing this scene, the newcomer had asked why did Quash didn’t care to gate keep such valuable knowledge? From his perspective, Quash’s ways of training is revolutionary. So isn’t it logical to gate keep valuable things?
Quash had just told them that there is no point. The knowledge maybe valuable now, but someone else will figure it out later. So it’s better to just let everyone grow instead.
Understanding dawned to everyone. Quash’s figure seemed bigger than life to them. His kindness and belovilance was way above their petty reasons. He was truly a man of profound wisdom and kindness. Their respect shot off the roof.
Quash noticed that their thought and his intentions didn’t align and everything was going haywire. So he hastily explained the actual reasoning that everyone seemed to ignore for some reason. It was right in front of them, yet they always seemed circle around it before going it a different direction all together.
Quash explained that gate keeping is for insecure people who fear they will he over taken on their own game. If that happens, it means they are trash to begin with. But when opposite side starts to grow, it will create pressure for the gym bros to improve. And when the opponents see they are improving, they will work hard. Effectively creating an improvement feedback loop where everyone improves and thrives.
It will also force people to think of new ways to be more efficient. Birthing new ideas that could be helpful to everyone. Humans don’t improve explosively until they are pushed to the limits.
Quash is just trying to create such environment. With this everyone improves. And when everyone improves, he will be pushed to his limits as well. Because with his stats right now, there are very few in the park that could challenge him in terms of pure stats. Coupled with his increasing skill Proficiency, it won’t be wrong to call Quash the strongest I the park.
Quash had told everyone that it was all done to create pressure on himself. Basically calling himself selfish but the gym bros and the newcomers seemed to have interpreted a different meaning which Quash didn’t even want to think about. They seemed emotional. And they could be as emotional as they want. For all he cares, as long as his stats improved, anything goes.
And after 12 days of hard work, Quash felt the same heavy headedness. Along with that uncomfortable feeling. He felt irritated because of such feelings but also extremely happy. Because another barrage of stats improment was coming.
He temporarily said goodbye and told them that Impurity Expulsion was about to happen. And he didn’t want anything like last time to happen. So he ran home at full speed and the moment he entered the house, he took of all his clothes and went straight to the bathroom, turned on the shower and the moment the cold water hit his skin, clarity suddenly returned.
His body seemed like it was exhaling. He felt instantly relaxed and in peace. But the foul smell made it some he couldn’t enjoy the feeling for long. So he quickly got to cleaning himself.
After half an hour, he came out of the bathroom, collected the clothes thrown in the hallway and put them on for now. His training wasn’t down just yet. He still needed to go to the park. He had an extra towel in the bathroom just in case. And who knew it would cone in handy so soon.
Quash then sat down on his couch to examine his gains.
