Lucky 178
Calix couldn't help it, because his line of sight was directly pointed at her breasts. Nikki was too tall, yup, Calix hated to admit it but Nikki's breasts were at the level of Calix's head. So whenever Calix looked at her, the first thing that his eyes notice were those bountiful breasts.
So Calix was innocent. Of course, he didn't have any lewd reason why he was looking at them, it was a coincidence, nothing else.
'Besides, I'm looking respectfully...'
Calix shook his head, erasing the lewd demon in his head. He lifted up his head and looked at Nikki who appeared to be nervous.
"H- hello."
She muttered, that was the best that she could do. In her opinion, that was already a scream. Her face was blushing but it appeared natural because she was sweating. She was lifting four plates barbell earlier.
"Hm?"
Calix tilted his head. He didn't hear what she said, he saw her mouth moving but he didn't hear any sound. Thankfully, Calix knew lip reading.
"Ah, yeah, nice to meet you too. We didn't have a proper introduction earlier because we were busy. I'm Calix Romoel, I'm still young so you don't have to treat me like I'm older."He smiled and extended his hand. Nikki flinched but she gently shook it. She didn't want to appear to be bad.
When their hands touched, they both realized that they have calluses. Calix grinned.
"So you're into lifting. I know that you're still new in this unit but you don't have to push yourself and tire your body. Maybe you can look around and relax."
He suggested. He felt that Nikki was exhausting herself, they had a schedule tomorrow and it would be bad if Nikki was tired. Furthermore, Nikki is an ordinary woman, so her strength and stamina surely had limitations.
"I- it's okay... I want to do this, it's my relaxation.
She replied.
"Is that so, well, just don't push yourself that much."
Calix didn't understand what she said, but he could guess it. Maybe it was related to his Luck.
"Thanks."
Nikki mumbled and averted her gaze, she was not accustomed to Calix's gaze. She felt strange and hot. Most of the time, men would avoid her because of her height and monstrous strength, she was not treated as a woman. They were scared of her.
Furthermore, sometimes, when a guy looked at her, she felt uncomfortable because of their dangerous gaze. But Calix was different, Nikki didn't feel any aversion, only embarrassment. Calix was looking at her with no hidden intention, or perhaps he was just that good at hiding his emotions.
"Hehe, good. I guess I'll join you too. "
Usually, Nikki won't agree because she felt uncomfortable when a male was close to her. She experienced horrible stuff back in the past, so she was afraid of men. Especially men who wanted to take advantage of her. That's why she was thankful when she found that this unit mostly had females, Calix was the only guy.
Calix started with some pull-ups, then, he started bench pressing without a spotter.
Nikki glanced at him but whenever Calix looked at her, she would act like she was training.
'What am I doing... Nikki, remember what happened, remember your purpose. You are here to work.'
She talked to herself.
Nikki bit her lip and started working out again. She did her best not to lose focus. She didn't want to make another mistake, once is enough.
She didn't realize that she was tiring herself and that she lost track of time.
.........
......
...
After a few hours, Nikki realized that she exhausted herself. She dropped the barbell and took some rest. She was panting and sweat covered her body. She knew that she smells right now. She wiped the sweat on her face using her t-shirt.
"Eh?"
She looked around and realized that Calix was still bench pressing. However when she looked seriously, she found that Calix was lifting 405 lbs and it seemed that he was not tired at all.

Nikki was lifting the same weights but she knew that she couldn't last long like him. Furthermore, it looked like Calix didn't have any idea that what he was doing was amazing. He didn't have someone to compare to.
Andreas could lift 500 lbs without a problem so Calix thought he should carry at least 405 lbs. So yeah, the person he compared to was a monster so Calix unknowingly became a monster too.
He didn't look tired at all.
Nikki gulped. She was amazed. She unconsciously smiled, she didn't know why but she was elated. As if she realized that she and Calix had similarities and they could be friends. Because of her height and appearance, Nikki didn't have any friends. Guys were afraid of her while girls couldn't see her as a girl, more like a giant.
She grimaced recalling those moments.
"Oh, so you're finished?"
Calix looked around and found that Nikki was finished training. He set the barbell and approached her while wiping his face.
"Phew."
He exhaled, this kind of training was nothing to him. Calix didn't know that he was already a superhuman.
"You're amazing."
Nikki muttered. Her brown eyes glowed in awe. Yet Calix just shrugged.
"No, please don't joke. It's nothing, my father can do better than that."
He said, he was serious. His father could carry a house without a hassle.
"Perhaps you can give me some tips- hey! Nikki! Are you okay?"
Nikki started wobbling until she lost consciousness. Fortunately, Calix was there and caught her before she fell.
"Oi? Are you okay?"
Calix became anxious. He didn't know what happened.
He inspected her and realized that Nikki was hot, freaking hot. She was burning, Calix touched her forehead and confirmed that Nikki was sick.
