Tokyo: Bubble, but the system is Sengoku.

"Oops!"

After belatedly glancing at the clock hanging on the wall, the girl stood up abruptly.

Her skirt flew up, and she ran outside with those short legs.

"I'm going to school now, remember to eat your soba noodles!"

Take care.

"Um, and..."

In the entryway, having put on her brown uniform shoes and lightly touched the ground with the toes, Kikuchi Momoko turned her head, her face flushed.

"Sato-nii, you've changed a lot since you got sick! Keep up the good work!"

Although she had just deliberately made things difficult by saying that the other person was bragging, in the girl's eyes, the other person's changes were also real.

That's probably true.

Moreover, if we were to compare the two people, she preferred the energetic Sato-kun in front of her.

It has a more humorous feel than before, compared to the rigid style.

"it is good."

Sato raised the corners of his mouth slightly and nodded.

"How indifferent~"

The girl, who was complaining, closed the door.

Looking at the closed door in front of him, he could hear the girl's hurried footsteps on the floor.

The boy shook his head with a hint of amusement.

Although he remained calm on the surface, he had finally recovered from the shock brought by Momoko Kikuchi.

The other person is destined to be a triple-threat idol.

It will take off in two years at most.

Of course, we should cheer ourselves on.

I just don't know what his situation will be like next year.

Although the two weren't exactly competitors, the thought of the other's bright future still stirred a sense of anxiety in the young man's heart.

Fame should be sought early, especially since he's already eighteen, which isn't young anymore. To earn enough money before the bubble bursts, he needs acting skills and a knack for making money.

Both are indispensable, and we still need to continue our efforts.

"Let's continue."

The boy took a deep breath and then slowly squatted down into a standard plank position.

His bodyweight training continues.

Although he had just told Kikuchi that the other person had woken him up, the boy had actually been awake for a while.

A good routine is important, and a healthy body is key to everything, especially for actors, whose profession requires perfect control over every muscle in their body.

It's not just simple crying or laughing, but more subtle expressions.

Laughter can be a bitter laugh, a loud laugh, a light laugh, or a disdainful laugh.

Moreover, each emotion can be combined in any way.

This requires a high level of control over the facial muscles.

Just like fitness training, facial muscles can't be developed simply through experience. These muscles need regular exercise to function properly, after all, this is a material world.

And naturally, the flexibility of facial muscles, just like fitness, depends on talent and genes.

It's like how some people can achieve an inverted triangle shape with just a little practice, while others need to persist for a year to achieve even a small success.

The boy in the previous life was not particularly talented in either physical training or acting.

As for the first half of my life, it seems pretty much the same.

However, the difference is that he now has a cheat code. Although the effect of the cheat code cannot be directly applied to his acting skills, as long as he works hard to make up for his shortcomings and improves in both areas, there is still hope.

As he thought about it, the muscles on the boy's face slowly began to tense up again.

......

For two days, apart from the initial disruption of his usual tranquility by Kikuchi, Sato's life was very regular. He ate high-protein, high-nutrient foods and did some recovery bodyweight training and facial and body muscle exercises in his rented room.

Although only two days have passed, my face is a little fuller than it was two days ago, and I feel a bit better overall.

Of course, muscles won't grow that quickly.

It's not like bad news is coming from the bodybuilding world.

It just looks like she's back to the state she was in before she got sick.

We still need to keep making progress.

"I'll still need to go to the gym when I have more money later."

However, his body is not in such good condition yet; bodyweight training is enough for him.

Sato put the soba noodles in his mouth, eating while thinking.

The buckwheat noodles didn't taste very good, and all that was added were eggs, tofu, fish, vegetables, and salt, with an apple added at the end.

Although it may seem bland, this meal is not cheap; it is a necessary diet for recovery and maintaining good health.

Whether for his physical health or for the upcoming auditions, he needs to improve his physical fitness.

Of course, you'll also need a cheat code.

However, given the system's characteristics, it may require continued filming to reactivate.

Take on more roles, even minor ones, as they are opportunities.

Getting a character from the Shadow Legion would be ideal.

Thinking about it, the boy had already finished all the noodles in his hands.

......

"The president has agreed to your request."

In the familiar office, Xiaochuan's voice was a little warmer than it had been two days ago.

And the gazes from the crowd were no longer so cold.

However, the office remained deserted.

"According to the information we handed over to the Shadow Legion production team, the audition is in a month, so you should prepare well during this time."

"Thanks."

Upon hearing this, Sato felt a great weight lifted from his heart, but soon another, even bigger weight appeared in his mind.

The president agreed, but that was just the first step; the actual audition was what would happen next.

"But the rest is just rumors. I heard that Kawasaki Yuta and Ando Kei will also be going."

As Ogawa spoke, his gaze became inquisitive as he looked at Sato's face.

The people she mentioned are all currently very popular, or rather, highly promoted idols or actors.

They were probably all aiming for this position so they could make contact with Shinichi Chiba.

If it were a teenager from before, they would probably feel embarrassed or even scared.

However, to her surprise, the seemingly transformed young man did not exhibit such emotions.

At least it wasn't visible on his watch face; he remained calm and composed.

"Thank you, I will try my best."

Sato nodded and said.

Ogawa's words were undoubtedly a reminder of the difficulty of this match and the need to make corresponding adjustments based on the opponent.

These are all acts of kindness from the other party, so of course I should say thank you.

Although there are more competitors, what he needs to do will not change because the audition is more difficult.

Besides improving my character portrayal and acting skills, I should also take some time to study my main competitors.

"Um."

The boy does look different now.

Not only was his expression unreadable, but he also seemed to know that he was giving him a heads-up, and even said thank you.

He used to be an honest person, but he was a bit too old-fashioned.

Now it's no wonder the beach manager had high hopes for him.

It would have been even better if he had taken it this seriously sooner.

Whether it's her or Sato, time is running out for them to make a difference.
