The Infinite Paradox

ACT I — The Arising Mysteries Part 1 :- A Young warrior

“ 1.5.4 ... 1.5.5...1.5.6...1.5.7, ” an old man was counting. He was sitting on a young man's back, who was doing pushups. The man's eyes were broad open and face had became red pumped. As if within a few seconds, the whole body will burst off like a T.N.T! The veins were coming out from his head to toe. When he was trying to push his body down for the 158th dip, he couldn't control his arms and dropped his body on the ground.

“ It's enough, master! Let me take some breath. "

—Kintaro said by taking big sighs.

“ Just this, all you have ! When I was at your age, I could easily have completed 300 dips. Come on show me your muscles ! ”

—Master Urugway said

Kintaro denied by waving his hand. He layed down on the ground, covering his face by his right hand. He was opening and closing his mouth simultaneously with long, big sighs.

After a minute, Urugway said, “ Just two hours passed, a lot of time is left. Come on, let's continue. ”

Urugway and Kintaro ventured to a long patch of land, with bamboos fixed upright with long gaps.

“ Did you remember the last day's lesson ? ”

—Urugway asked.

Kintaro shook his head.

“ Good. Then cross this path by jumping from one bamboo to another. ”

—Urugway commanded.

Kintaro closed his eyes joined his hands for some seconds. Kintaro started leaping from one bamboo to another. Like this he leaped from some more bamboos, but got disbalanced and fell on the soil.

“ Restart from beginning! ” a loud call came from the other side.

Kintaro returned to his mean position and started leaping from beginning. Again ahead some bamboos, he fell down.

“ Focus! Kin. Focus! Think that as if you are on your way to the trophy cup of Syong Combat Championship. ”

—Urugway called out again.

Kintaro with all his determination, leaped toward his desire, slowly slowly he was getting closer to it. Soon, he reached the last bamboo. He jumped with all his might to reach the platform. But something was holding him back from reaching it.

He thought,

“ Do I can really reach it ? Am I strong enough ? Do I can ever see my mom's smile again ? ”

Kintaro fell down on the ground again. He was gazing at his tightened fists closely with big eyes.

He looked no more determined, as per Urugway.
