One, two, three, four, five

Alright, that should be enough for the warm up.

This school not only allows its gym open early in the morning, but also its swimming facilities. Today however, I plan on going to the gym. The gym was naturally quite empty during this hour and I was the only 1st year here along with this one giant half-Japanese half-black guy. I would have thought I would have seen Koenji here. If I want to make more friends and understand what friends are, I should take advantage of this fact.

"Hey man, can you help spot for my bench-press? I can help spot for yours after." It is apparently common for people at the gym to do this from what I've heard. He doesn't seem to be responding, although he is looking at me.

"Do you speak Japanese?" I chose to switch up my next sentence in English. "Or do you speak English?" He looked a bit surprised, and then nodded.

One, two, three, four, five...

Alright, now it is his turn.

One, two, three, four, five...

Wow, this guy is very strong. His physique looks to be bigger than Sudou's physique and Koenji's physique.

"My name is Ayanokouji. What's your name?" I asked in English.

"...Yamada Albert."

"Alright then, well thank you for helping out." Albert nodded back in response.

Looks like this is the start of a new friendship. I looked forward to this with happiness.
