I wake up slowly, lying on the sofa in my office. 'The absence of the need to sleep does not detract from how good one feels after doing so.' My internal biological clock tells me it is almost 12:00. I look at my pocket watch and see that it is 11:45. 'Perfect.'
'Agent O will be here in 15 minutes with the list of candidates, and the exam for this semester will begin in 30 minutes,' I think to myself as I get up and head to my chair to wait for O.
After sitting down in the most comfortable chair one could ever imagine, or as I like to say, "the pleasures of technology and magic when combined", I begin to reminisce a little about my past.
'I still remember the first day I woke up in that cave more than 10,000 years ago, how I thought about enjoying life without knowing where I was, and how, after hearing words like Cimmeria, Crom, Kull, and Thulsa Doom, I realised I was in the Hiberian Era and turned back to the cave for a moment.' A laugh escapes my lips as I remember that scene. 'Luckily, one of the powers I reincarnated with was the ability to quickly understand languages, otherwise I wouldn't be able to talk to anyone.'
'I also remember the mental debate I had with myself about which multiverse I was in, since individuals like Kull and Thulsa Doom are mainly found in three multiverses: Marvel, Dark Horse, and Dynamite. I have to admit that until the day I met Odin, I wasn't sure where I was.'
'Or the training I started in true One Punch-Man style, as well as the benefits and disadvantages of my second power, a body that can only improve and never deteriorate, meaning no ageing, muscle deterioration, getting drunk, eating, sleeping or fatigue, among other things.'
A grimace crosses my face as I remember the pain of my first day of exercise. 'It's incredible how stubborn I was back then. Who would think of exercising until your muscles can't take it anymore, especially with a body like mine? I should have stopped after an hour or two, as my muscle pain indicated, and not continued for 12 hours until my muscles exploded from the inside out.'
"I was lucky not to bleed to death. My healing factor back then wasn't very special. If my heart had exploded at that moment, I would have died in a very stupid way."
'But with destruction comes reconstruction. My body was rebuilt in better condition than before, after lying on the ground for two weeks unable to move, awake the whole time.'
"But those years gave me this body," I say as I stretch my body, a body that, like Akisame's, is strong and flexible, only taken to the extreme, in pure Hanma style.
'Those three strange years focused on exploding my muscles and shattering my bones through increasingly extreme exercises, and then meditating while my body recovered completely. Because my body recovered faster than it deteriorated, due to the power of having no upper growth limit and my recovery ability also evolving, I had to find more brutal ways to train and practically went from a Netero training style to a Doomsday style.
I stop remembering the pin to look at my pocket watch. "1159, the lift must be about to arrive at this floor."
A few seconds later, I hear the lift stop at the end of the corridor leading to my office and footsteps approaching my door, until they stop in front of it. From the sound of the footsteps, the frequency of the heartbeat and the different smells around them, I quickly deduce that it is Agent O. 'Training all the senses individually has always been worth it.'
Before she knocks on the door, my voice rings out. "Come in."
