Jett was genuinely impressed by Nerissa's stats and skills. "Level 40 with Peak Red Aura? That's incredible. I guess it's all thanks to that [Quick Learner]," he mused. "Now I want it."

He decided to acquire the [Quick Learner] skill first, considering its potential benefits. "I'd really love to learn a new attack skill, but I don't even have a health recovery skill.

[Quick Heal] should be good enough. I'll copy that later."

Jett proceeded to copy Nerissa's [Quick Learner] skill. "I kinda feel bad stealing her skill like this, but it can't be helped," he thought to himself. After successfully copying the skill, he wondered if he would get the chance to copy another.

"When are you going back?" Jett inquired.

"I'll be here for a month, after that I'll go back to the capital," Nerissa replied.

"Heck yeah," Jett blurted out mistakenly.

"What? You didn't want me to leave?" Nerissa teased with a smug face.

"No, shut up, whatever let's just go back. It's already late," Jett replied, feeling a bit flustered. 'A month? That means I can copy 3 skills from her before she leaves. Good, I have time to get the [Double Experience] skill,' he thought to himself while they walked back home.

'I have an advantage here. He doesn't know how strong I really am or how my stats work, so he'll work with our last clash. I just need an opening,' Jett thought to himself as he carefully analyzed the situation.

"Ha... I really am a gamer. Too competitive to back down," he mused, letting out a faint laugh.

"If you have time to laugh, then come at me," Jerry ordered, his tone firm.

To add an element of challenge, he drew a circle and positioned himself at the center. "If you're able to push me out of this line, then you win. I'll get you whatever you want," he promised with a hint of arrogance.

Jett immediately launched his attack, swinging his sword with the same momentum as before. "Tch... Have you learned nothing? You're doing it again," Jerry remarked, his frustration evident.

But this time, Jett saw his opening and swiftly maneuvered to his right, catching Jerry off guard.

"Did he get faster?" Jerry wondered as he tried to react.

Jett's enhanced speed from using [Tactical Mirage] allowed him to dodge Jerry's strikes and land a blow that Jerry was forced to parry instead of block. 'And stronger too?'

"I can't give him time to think. I need to move faster," Jett realized, maintaining his momentum as he continued to engage Jerry in combat. Despite Jerry's upper hand, Jett was holding his own, his determination driving him forward.

Everyone watched in awe as Jett held his own against Jerry, even when he was seemingly on the losing side. "He's amazing. Was he hiding his strength before?" wondered one spectator, echoing the sentiments of many.

Even Nerissa found herself impressed, her disbelief turning into admiration as she watched her brother's performance. Before they knew it, they were cheering him on, swept up in the excitement of the spar.

"Hehe... Traitors," Jerry mused with a smirk, noticing the sudden change in the crowd's support.

"Don't lose sight of your opponent, old man," Jett's voice came from behind, causing Jerry to whirl around in surprise.

"Ha, yelling before an attack only gives your position away and reduces the chance of landing a sneak attack, little punk," Jerry retorted, launching a strike at Jett. But his blow met nothing but air. Confused, Jerry tried to anticipate Jett's next move, only to find himself dodging another almost-successful attack from behind.

"He's really giving the Lord a run for his money," remarked one of the spectators, marveling at Jett's agility and strategy.

As Jerry attempted to kick the already-unstable Jett, he found himself kicking thin air once more. Startled, he realized Jett had vanished from his sight. Suddenly, he felt a force pushing against the only leg still standing, and before he knew it, he was falling but quickly reacted using his hands to stop himself from falling.

"I see you've surpassed my expectations," Jerry conceded, offering Jett a nod of respect. "Let's continue." With that, he took his stance, ready for another round.

Jett gave him a wicked smile, crossing his arms and pointing at the spectators with his thumb. Confusion etched across Jerry's face as he followed Jett's gaze to the celebrating crowd. Jett then pointed at the floor, and it suddenly dawned on Jerry – he had crossed his own line. With a mixture of surprise and acceptance, Jerry realized that the spar was over, and he had lost.

"I lost? Impossible," Jerry muttered, feeling bewildered by the unexpected turn of events.

"Ha! That's my win. So I guess I get whatever I want now, don't I?" Jett teased, a triumphant grin spreading across his face.

The training ground erupted into uproar as everyone witnessed the incredible fight. Despite Jerry holding back, the fact that Jett was able to fend him off was nothing short of remarkable.

"There! Cheers for Jett!" exclaimed one of the spectators, prompting a chorus of cheers and applause in celebration of Jett's victory.
