Chapter 574: Bone Strengthening Pill


    ?


    If only he could allocate the pill''s effect, then it''d have been a worthy deal. However, he couldn''t strengthen the specific bone of his choice.


    Comcently staring at the screen, he pondered deeply about the issue.


    Then after pondering for a while, he decided, "Even if it''s random, let''s go with it. I''m sure it''lle in handy in the future."


    With that said, he chose to purchase the item. Spending a thousand points, he purchased about 100 pills.


    Spending such a massive sum emptied his ount. So, he couldn''t help but grieve the loss, "My entire saving... sniff! It''s gone. 106 more to go."


    Frowning, he stared at the piles of pills before him.


    "Can I even consume all of it at once?" Hiro muttered.


    Although the pills weren''t huge, they were still of a decent size. So, swallowing all those pills at once, he''d choke for sure, and consuming one at a time would probably take him a long time.


    Then he picked up a single piece that was the size of a small ss marble and stared fixedly. The pill was deep brown.


    Bringing the pill closer to his nose, he sniffed, "Yuck!"N?v(el)B\\jnn


    The smell of the pill was intolerably stinky which almost made him want to throw up. It smelled like a mixture of rotten fish and egg, "Just what the hell did they use to concoct it?"


    Hiro then looked at the pile of pills and gulped his saliva. If only pills nearly made him throw up then how was he supposed to consume all those piles of pills?


    Despite the overbearing smell, Hiro wolfed down a few of the pills. With how bad the pill smelled, he figured that if he stopped even for a while, he might not be able to consume the pills. So, without thinking, he wolfed down a few of the pills.


    Fortunately, the pill didn''t taste bad. So, it made it easy to consume the pills.


    Then after consuming about twenty pills, he paused as he felt a burning sensation inside his body. His temperature started to rise as he started sweating profusely.


    The sensation started in his abdomen before making its way to various parts of his body. It was like an electric current was flowing through his veins.


    Hiro could palpably feel the changes taking ce in his body. However, he still had a lot more pills left to eat. So, despite the changes, he continued.


    As he continued to devour one pill after the other, he felt excruciating pain in several parts of his body. The pain was akin to a piercing needle.


    At the same time, a pitch-ck liquid seeped out of his pores. The liquid was unbelievably stinky and nauseating.


    Even so, Hiro continued to devour without any stop.


    Then finally, after a while, he managed to consume the entire hundred pills in one sitting. The task was challenging both mentally and physically.


    The pain got even more excruciating and he felt as if his insides were on fire. Steam oozed out of his pores while at the same time, the ck liquid seeped out of it.


    "Just..., when will it stop?" Hiro gritted his teeth.


    To keep him from passing out, he tried to shift his attention away from the pain.


    Finally, after a while, the pain started to subside and his temperature started to falter. Then a soothing feeling washed over him.


    His previous expression filled with pain eased up. Then he slowly opened his eyes and heaved a deep sigh, "Huff! Finally..., it''s over."


    As soon as he opened his eyes, the stinking smell assaulted his nose making it hard to breathe. Hiro immediately covered his nose, "I need... to shower immediately."


    The shower wasn''t the only concern, he still had to clean up the ck puddle he was sitting atop. Realizing the mess he had gotten himself involved in, he sighed, "If I had known this would happen then I''d have headed to the shower beforehand."


    Hiro felt a little regretful looking at the mess. If he had known about the aftermaths, he''d have taken some precautions before. However, now that he had created the mess, he could only clean up the mess.


    That day, he spent almost his entire evening cleaning up the mess.


    ********


    Since the season had ended, Hiro had a lot of time on his hands. Most of the yers were on vacation. Even Naoto and Tatsuki had left for their home to visit their parents.


    But Hiro had already spent more than three months back home. So, unlike others, he didn''t head home to spend some quality time with his close ones.


    Both Naoto and Tatsuki had also asked him to tag along with them. However, he refused saying that he had some things to do there.


    But now that he was all alone, he was bored beyond measure.


    Having strengthened his bones, he wanted to test out the effect of the Bone Strengthening Pill. But since he couldn''t participate in the training, there wasn''t any way to test it out


    either.


    "Should I just explore the town?" Hiro muttered sitting before the television.


    Ring! Ring! Ring!


    Suddenly, while he was thinking about ways to cure his boredom, his phone buzzed. Hiro picked up the phone and stared at the number, "Shun. Why is he calling me right now?"


    Hiro felt puzzled by the call. Just like everyone else, he also had returned home. So, he found it a bit strange to see him calling him.


    It wasn''t just Hiro who had won the league title. Shun also won the second-division title, helping his club promote to the first division.


    "Hello," he answered the call.


    "Yo, where are you?" Shun asked.


    "Home."


    "Then you must be free right now, right?" he asked enthusiastically.


    Hiro couldn''t tell why he sounded so excited at the moment. Perhaps, he had something to


    say.


    "Yeah," he answered. "Do you need something?"


    Hiro couldn''t help but ask. From his excited tone, Hiro could guess that he had some matters to discuss. Whether it be a favor or an important matter, he would only know after getting


    told.
