Chapter 48: I Deserve It

Lila and Mark insisted on taking about thirty minutes to rest after the run even though they didn't reach the end like Arnold had done. The fact that he regained his strength before they made it clear that even as a newbie wrestler, he was much stronger than them.Mark and Lila would sometimes, find it hard to believe this. With glints of jealousy hanging around on their faces, they gasped and sat frustratingly on the stony floor while Arnold stood and watched them with a teasing smile on his face.

'Weak rats.' He cursed inwardly.

"I will make sure I reach the end point next time," Mark said as his exhaustion faded.

"This is not the first time you are saying this, bro," Arnold let out a slight laugh as he glanced at Mark.

Mark felt mocked upon hearing Arnold's response, but he only shook his head and muttered.

"Whatever," frustratingly, he stood up from the stony floor and helped Lila to get up.

"We need to practice in the training ring as well... It's a No Disqualification Match we are talking about. I hope you know what it means?" Arnold told Mark.

"C'mon! You are acting as if you have competed in one before when you haven't. I have fought for a number one contender ticket in a No Disqualification Match before, so I should be the one asking you if you know how intense it would be," Marl spoke.

"It's even going to be a tag team match, making the pressure double," he added.

Arnold only nodded.

"Alright then, let's just keep training."

It wasn't as if Arnold was the novice there. Even though Mark had been here for a year, Arnold's intelligence had helped him surpass the level of knowledge of most wrestlers in the show.

Mark's intelligence, to Arnold, was way too low compared to his, but he decided to say nothing more and just stay calm.

With Lila standing up, they left the hills and went straight to the training ring. Although Lila wouldn't be having a match on the coming show, she had only decided to train with them just to keep her body fit in the meantime.

She was at a stage of her career where she hardly got the manager's attention. After losing a lot of opportunities given to her, it was only seeming that she was just an average wrestler. Clearly showing that there were many others who deserved the recognition.

This was the main reason why she met Arnold... After discovering his great potential, he guessed keeping him company would be quite helpful. It was only complicated how she suddenly developed feelings for him...

That wasn't part of the plan...

Entering the training ring, Arnold began practicing Sorrowful Kiss and Neckbuster at first. It had come to discover that the Sorrowful Kiss knee strike was the best move to use against a very tough opponent, better than the Neckbuster finisher.

Seeing Arnold liking to practice more on the Sorrowful Kiss than his initial Neckbuster, Mark, and Lila believed that he would be using this new finisher more often. Although it was clear that he hadn't abandoned the Neckbuster finisher, it was just that he was trying to increase the fierceness of the move just like he had done for Neckbuster.

Not only the advancement of the Agility and Attack Power could make a move vital, with consistent training and practice on how to perfect the way of using the move, could add to the impact when delivered.

Mark also took a different ring and practiced his moves and finisher. Arnold noticed that he had gotten quite a good finisher... His finisher was Moonsault, a high-flying move from the top turnbuckle that requires the opponent to twist in the air before landing on his opponent.

He also had some common moves including super kick, spear, ankle lock, and sometimes, he won matches surprisingly after delivering a Swanton Bomb.

While he didn't really possess much strength, Mark still had a remarkable Agility and Attack Power rate. It wasn't bad for a normal person at all at this stage of his career, and if not for the Pro Wrestling System, Arnold knew that he wouldn't be Mark's match at all.

With the way he fought, he guessed Mark could gain huge recognition someday. It was only a matter of time for him to get a call from the top shows... Literally, Bobby Crimson only needed to keep working hard to take a place in the spotlights.

As it was known, only those in the spotlights were recognized.

This was a well-known proverb in the world of professional wrestling.

[You have gained 5 points to your Attack Power.]

[You have gained 1 point to your Attack Power.]

With training in the ring only enhancing one's Attack Power, Arnold only made some progress on it without worrying about the other attributes. He had recently increased them the lately and had only needed to enhance his Attack Power.

While he did these, he only gained three points to his Intelligence, as training didn't enhance his Skill Level too much.

Arnold made sure he lasted long in the practices just to keep Mark practicing also. If that guy didn't get himself prepared as he should, it could be a disadvantage to Arnold.

Never in his life would Arnold let Ben defeat him after attacking from behind and almost causing his title-winning opportunity. The main point was that Arnold wanted to avenge the greedy and arrogant treatment he gave him at Rising Impact University.

He had always wanted to let this slide, but Justin Reed had just come touching the lion's tail while he was asleep!

They were done with the training ring practices after three hours and rested before leaving for their rooms.

Because of the piles of work and appointments he had to meet up with, Arnold regretted having to cancel his plans to meet Mia at Rising Impact University. He promised to fulfill this promise the next week, guessing that he wouldn't have so much to do by then.

The next day, Arnold continued his interview appointments. With another large amount of money paid into his bank account, he couldn't help but feel on top of the world.

After all, he was Max Fury.

"I deserve it," he hit his right fist on his chest and claimed.
