I Can See Parameters In A Rom-Com World! Chapter 12

Junichi approached the diving board, preparing himself to dive, but before that he was doing a simple warm-up exercise, seeing that Hibiki finally believed that he had experience swimming.

“I thought he was just boasting but I guess, he had experience…”

Any athletes know that doing a warm-up exercise is to avoid getting leg cramps or similar, a moment later, he finally took a deep breath and dived into the pool.

Splash~

He did a perfect dive. The swimming club members were a bit surprised. They originally thought that his purpose of joining the club was to flirt with them, but seeing that they were mistaken, they realized that he was seriously joining the swimming club.

While they got a wrong idea of his intention, he was focusing on doing freestyle, he had already finished the 50m, now he only had to finish the other 50m, but his body was exhausted!

He couldn’t help but curse inside his heart. ‘This body is simply too weak! Only 50m and It’s already exhausted, this body isn’t doing this kind of thing...damn it.’

Originally he intended to challenge himself, but forget it if he doesn’t use that breathing trick that his coach taught him, there is no way he could finish this 100m freestyle, he might sink midway if he won’t use that trick.

Since It came to this, then he should do it, this breathing trick was something that was often used in 400m or 800m freestyle and not 100m.

Then he started to swim the rest of the 50m.

Outside the water, Hibiki noticed something and spoke.

“Huh? Did he become slower? Is he saving his breath? But it’s only 100m freestyle!”

She was aware of this breathing trick too, but she didn’t expect him to use it on a 100m freestyle relay! If this was a competition it would have been a shameful thing, but since this was just a test, she decided not to think about it.

Junichi had finished the 100m freestyle and his expression didn’t look good, he slowly climbed up, and after he got out of the water, he instantly laid on the ground, breathing heavily.

“Hahh...hahh….my god! This body is weak!”

“Oh? You’re aware, either since you proved yourself that you have experience, you can now start practicing here starting tomorrow, remember not to be late, we are a serious club, not a half-assed one got it?”

Hibiki said, then he replied. “Alright, senpai...hah...damn it I thought I was going to die!”

Unexpectedly after the 100m freestyle, he had gained a new skill.

[ You learned the skill “Freestyle” ]

[ Skill Freestyle (Beginner 0.01%) ]

[ Skill Description: Help you swim faster using freestyle, like a fish in the pond.]

Seeing this, he couldn’t help but smirk, this made his trip worth it.

“Anyway, you can go home for today but tomorrow prepare yourself because I'm going to train your body.”

Hibiki noticed his potential in swimming, if his body wasn’t this weak he could have bested everyone in the club.

What a joke, she only knew that he was a record holder back in his previous life, she wouldn’t have thought of this, his body was the one that is holding him back.

“E-eh? You’re going to train my body senpai?! P-please, be gentle.”

Of course, he knows what she meant but he wanted to see how would react after doing this, then Hibiki replied.

“I won’t be gentle why wou-”

Then she realized what he meant, her face blushed and exclaimed.

“I-idiot! What kind of training are you thinking about?!“

“Of course swimming! What kind of training do you think it is?”

Hearing his reply, almost everyone in the club couldn't help but chuckle, this was a rare moment of their captain getting fooled.

Hibiki couldn’t believe that she got fooled by a Kohai, but she couldn’t get mad at him, since she was the one who misunderstood.

“You...sigh..whatever just go already or do you want to stay?”

“No, I’ll go!”

After that he instantly left the swimming pool, he felt like staying there wasn’t a good choice, after he was gone, the girls were talking about him for a bit before resuming their swimming practice.

“He left...but what an interesting guy.”

“I know right? He even got the guts to tease Tsukahara-senpai!”

“Yeah, even we can’t do it.”

“Is he a bit cute?”

“Eh? You think so?”

Hibiki blew the whistle and said. “Alright enough talking, let’s resume the practice!”

“””YES!”””

A few days later,

Junichi was about to finish his 100m freestyle, a moment later he had arrived at the end of the line, compared to him a few days ago, he was significantly stronger.

“Tachibana-kun, you broke your record again! What are you really? At first, you attempted a 100m butterfly, it took you 5 minutes to finish, then the second one was 4, then the next day it’s 3 minutes and now it’s 1 minute! An improvement like this shouldn’t be possible...Tachibana-kun are you really human?”

“That’s a funny joke, Tsukihara-senpai, but look, I'm a bonafide human! Can you see any gills around my body?”

Honestly, he didn’t expect this massive improvement either, he originally thought that it would take him a few months to match his previous life progress, but he calculated it wrong! Just a mere 4 days, he almost matched his previous life record!

It simply defies logic, but he looked at his stats and knew It was because of his skill.

These skills were simply too OP!

Also within the past few days, he immediately became a real member of the swimming club, he had to thank his cheat for this, or else it might take him longer on becoming a real member of the club, because of the progress he had shown, the adviser of the club is now calling him a genius.

Not gonna lie, he was kind of happy being praised, a simple genuine flattery could make him happy since he wasn’t used to being praised.

Because of his progress, their club adviser guessed that he could probably earn a medal at a national competition; she had high expectations from him.

At the same time, everyone at the swimming club treats him with respect, and few even admire him.
