Chapter 16: A Truly powerful Technique



After breakfast, the whole friends went to their homeroom class. On the way there, Vynn and Sophia met up with the rest of the room on the way to the homeroom class. After the class, they went to their combat class.

When they got to combat class, they all did their physical training which was mandatory everyday and then they practiced 'The Triple Threat' skill over and over again. After some time, they rested before they decided to spar with each other. That was when Kate came over to Jake to spar with him.

"Hey, do you mind if we sparred?" Kate asked coming over.

"Sure. Why not." Jake answered.

They started sparring with each other slow and steady.

"So didn't you notice how weirdly Sophia and Vynn behaved today" Kate said.

"I think everyone noticed that. What do you think it might be?" Jake asked.

"I'm not really sure about that. And they don't want to open up to us." Kate said sighing.

After that, they continued sparring with each other that was when Kate decided to ask something.

"So what do you think about Sophia?" Kate asked.

"I think she's okay but a little cold. Why?" Jake asked.

"Oh, nothing. I was just asking." Kate answered. "I don't think he has any feelings for Sophia." Kate thought.

"So you said your dad owns a dojo right?" Jake asked.

"Yes, the dojo is not that popular but he has a few number of students." Kate answered.

"Do you know any martial arts move that you could, you know, teach me or something. I would love to learn martial arts." Jake said.

"Sure. But first you need to learn 'The Triple Threat' skill first before I teach you anything. Kate answered.

<Skill has been added to the skill tab of the system. Now user can click the skill on the system to automatically perform the skill without straining himself.>

"Woah! This is truly awesome! I didn't know that by just learning 'The Triple Threat' technique, it will automatically be added to my system. Did you have any idea about this?" Jake asked Zee.

"No, not really. I'm also surprised as you are now." Zee answered. "Maybe the system felt the need to reward you after seeing your dedication and frustration about getting stronger."

"Regardless, this is still cool." Jake said.

Jake decided to check his skill tab to see if the skill was truly added to his skill tab.

<Skill Tab>

<Melee combat: Level 1 (Deals 10 damage with basic weapons therefore removing 10% HP from enemy)

<Stealth: Level 1; Increases evasion chances by 10%>

<Inspect Skill: Level 1; Brings up information of an enemy>

<Frenzy Strike: a skill that deals rapid consecutive attacks for 2 seconds, with a cool down timer of 5 minutes.>

<The Triple Threat: A simple, effective technique that combines three quick movements to create an opening for attack.>

"Wow! It truly added the technique." Jake said. "Well that is great."

Jake was about to leave the gym when an idea struck him. He went towards the drum like thing and took a stance and used his system to activate 'The Triple Threat' technique and then when it was finally in the third stage, Jake quickly struck the drum with all his might.

He felt the drum's vibrations when his fist connected with it and the drum echoed out very loudly that he quickly used his hands to cover his ears. Then the drum rapidly shuffled until it stopped on a number. Jake's mouth was left hanging.

"How!? How Is this possible?" Jake thought. "Uhmm, Zee are you seeing what I'm seeing?"

"Yes. I- I'm also shocked by this." Zee replied.

Jake was surprised and shocked because currently the drum was displaying his strength as 35 instead of his previous 22.
