In a small tight prison, an odd spectacle can be seen for those unfamiliar with the asylum if they happened to look at a particular cell.

One of the inmates was upside down, back and legs straight like a pole as two heavy ball and chain cuffed at the ankles dangled freely. Topping it off, he was putting all of his weight onto his two thumbs. A solid chunk of metallic cuffs bound both of his arms together. Yet this didn't stopped the inmates from slowly but surely, lowering himself until his head touched the floor.

Körbl let out a slow, drawn-out breathe, muscle tense as he pushed himself upwards again. Sweat poured downwards in rivulets as he slowly ascended himself.

Once again, he went down, repeating this cycle. Heedless of the stares and whispers of the guards outside of his cell.

[i]There he is again. [/i]

[i]Shouldn't we stop him?[/i]

[i]He'll do it regardless, and if we go in, it'll make things worse. Let him, the eggheads says he can't get any stronger anyways.[/i]

[i]But aren't those balls 200kg total?[/i]

[i]Each. Just keep your eyes peeled and mouth shut.[/i] 

Hearing that he won't get stronger galled him, yet that thought also drove him even further. Purposefully slowing himself even more, taking a whole minute this time for his head to touch the ground. As if like he was like a glacier, slowly inching and travelling downwards. Further straining himself.

But it was necessary, he wanted the strength. He[b] HAD [/b]to be stronger.

So once again, Körbl repeated his exercise, right until he finally finished at 10000. The moment he did, Körbl went into his most familiar stance. Legs bowed, low and deep, both arms together, curled around an imaginary sword no longer in his hand, and...stood still.

So still, that aside from his rising chest, he would've appeared to be a statue. Glaring and looking forwards at nothing.

Yet Körbl would easily see or notice the other inmates trying to get his attention. Giving a brief glance towards them but not moving his head at all.
