Genetic Ascension novel Chapter 346

Olivia was a bit surprised that Sylas would suddenly bring something like this up, especially dozens of minutes after the initial affair. His attention to detail was a bit frightening, but Cassarae had also told her about this.

Eventually she nodded and brought him down to her basement. There was a great deal of gym equipment down there, but it wasn't the usual.

Aside from a squat rack by the side, everything else was far from the usual.

There were a pair of gymnastic rings hanging from the ceiling, two differently shaped pullup bars drilled into the walls, the floor had an almost trampoline-like feel to it, and there was a balance beam placed right in the middle of the room.

Looking at how short Olivia was, especially in comparison to himself and Cassarae, he seemed to realize something.

She hid it well, but she was very clearly a gymnast.

Usually, it would be easy to tell from their strong arms and legs, but Olivia's body was much softer than one might expect. Sylas couldn't help but wonder if that was just her natural state, or if things had changed after the Trial.

It was possible that she had never taken gymnastics seriously enough to reach that level of toned... but this gym seemed to tell a different story entirely.

'Now that I think about it, everything about her home makes it clear she lives alone. This part of Love City should be quite expensive, and she's a young woman as well. Let alone how expensive owning such a gym would be, just the home alone would be very difficult to own or rent for someone of her age.'

Things like the rings or the pull up bars weren't very expensive. But there were Olympic grade weights by the squat rack, and this special flooring most certainly cost a pretty penny.

"You're a gymnast?" Sylas asked.

This was the first time he had taken the initiative to talk to her. Olivia couldn't help but be surprised because she didn't even know he was capable of that.

"I am."

"Olympics?" Sylas asked again.

Olivia blinked, a hidden light flashing in her eyes. "... No."

Sylas nodded. He didn't really pay attention to things. But he assumed that if Olivia really did represent their country in the Olympics, he would certainly know about it.

The Olympics were different now that Earth only had seven countries. It was designed more like a tournament where you would win regional competitions and move your way up to the national stage. These would happen over the course of four years until the final competition was held for the world to see.

As such, when Sylas asked Olivia if she was an Olympic athlete, he wouldn't be very surprised to hear her say yes. That was because there would be quite a number of people who could claim such a title.

Love City, for example, would probably have thousands of young women competing to represent their city on the state-wide stage.

The fact she said no only made Sylas more curious. Why not?
