Chapter 48: Getting the hang of skills {1}



Jake woke up early as usual to complete his daily quest. Although he was injured the previous day from his fight with the werewolf, nurse Hayley did a good job in healing him up. The academy had good equipment that could aid In the healing process. The ones with the more serious injuries were still in the academy's clinic. Peter, Kate and Sophia were the ones with the more serious injuries and they were still in the clinic.

Although Jack had injuries, when he visited the clinic, nurse Hayley helped his healing process go faster with his own Qi so now Jack was just as good as new. After Jake completed his daily quest, he went back to his dorm to take his bath and then went to the school's canteen with Vynn to take their breakfast. After breakfast, They both went to the school's clinic to check up on the rest of their friends who were still there.

When they got to the clinic, they could see the three of them chatting away although not that happily because the previous incident was still fresh in their minds. Immediately Jake opened the door, the rest of the gang turned their heads to see who was coming in. Upon seeing Jake and Vynn, they all smiled all except Sophia that was.

"Hey bro, how are you doing?" Jake asked with a smile on his face.

"I'm doing well, thanks." Peter answered with a smile. "That beautiful nurse really did a good job. It made me fall in love with her again."

To which they all laughed. "You know, if you stop trying so hard, you will quickly see a girlfriend." Sophia said. "Just act uninterested for once and you will see."

"Like that is gonna happen." Vynn added. "We all know Peter, it is unlikely he will stop trying so hard."

To which they all laughed at Peter's expense. They all chat some more before Jake decides to take his leave to head off to the place where he will surely practise to get the hang of his skills and get more experience.

After leaving the clinic, Jake walked away from the building and headed to another building entirely. When entering the building, he could see the shelves full of different games and the capsule pod at the back. Heading to the counter, Jake paid 90 credits for three hours leaving him with a total of just 50 credits.

After going over the skills over and over again, Jake finally decided to prioritise learning the skill <Step shift> first before moving onto the next skill. After checking everything if it was ready, Jake decided to start his first match for the day by dividing his time as usual into three.

With the first hour battling against werewolves, second hour battling against humans on his rank level and the last hour using the quick search button to match him randomly with human opponents. When Jake was done finalising everything, he decided to start the match by battling with the werewolves.

After clicking on the 'Fight with werewolf' button, and waiting for a few seconds, a werewolf finally appeared meanwhile the stands were now half filled with spectators that wanted to see Jake perform something awesome again today.

Immediately the werewolf appeared, the big countdown clock appeared again. And when it counted down to 0, the match started with Jake dashing forward.
