Rain watched with a mixture of exhaustion and satisfaction as Veronica and Casper, his virtual reality opponents, logged out from the virtual world.
Veronica and Casper's avatars flickered for a moment before disappearing completely from Rain's sight.
He let out a deep breath, feeling the tension in his muscles eases.
He had been so focused during the fight that he had barely noticed the time passing. Now, with the fight over, he could finally relax.
He let out a deep sigh and collapsed onto the sofa, feeling completely exhausted. "Meh, that was so nerve-wracking," he grumbled to himself, rubbing his temples to ease the tension.
Rain removed his face mask and hood, the cool air of his dimly lit room washing over him.
As he lay down on the sofa, his body felt heavy and exhausted from the intense virtual reality fight he had just completed.
He lay there for a moment, catching his breath and letting his heart rate slow down.
As he closed his eyes, he felt the tension in his muscles slowly starts to ebb away.
But even as he tried to relax, his mind was still racing from the experience in the virtual world.
He replayed the fight in his head, analyzing every move and every detail.
He thought back to the way his energy blades had glowed in the dim virtual light, the way they had sliced through the air with a satisfying hum.
He remembered the feel of his armor, the way it had shifted and flexed with each movement.
"Hehe. I gained so much much data from that fight." With a small smile playing at the corners of his mouth, Rain opened up the files on his virtual reality device, eager to review the data he had just collected from the intense fight.
He chuckled to himself, still basking in the thrill of the experience, as he scrolled through the recordings.
He had already turned on the auto-recording function for all of his fights and other activities in the virtual world, so he had plenty of data to work with.
He loved being able to review the footage whenever he wanted, to analyze his moves, and study the strategies of his opponents.
Because of that, whenever he wanted to review something, he could just play that recording.
As he scrolled through the data, Rain's eyes widened in amazement.
The amount of information he had gathered from the fight exceeded his expectations and surpassed his knowledge from the game.
He was surprised to find that even though Casper had held back his full strength due to the restraints, he had managed to collect a wealth of data that he could use to improve his skills and become even better.
Rain's mind raced as he analyzed the data, studying every move and every detail of the fight.
"Impressive" he exclaimed.
It identified several key areas where he needed to improve his skills and provided detailed recommendations on how he could achieve his goals.
For example, the bot analyzed Rain's speed level and suggested that he needed to work on his footwork to increase his mobility during combat.
It also identified weaknesses in his mana management and recommended that he focus on improving his ability to conserve and replenish his mana reserves during fights.
Similarly, the bot had identified areas where Casper was particularly strong or weak and provided detailed statistical analysis to help Rain develop counter-strategies.
By using the data provided by the bot, Rain was able to create a comprehensive training plan that focused on his areas of weakness and leveraged his strengths.
"Finally done." Rain stretched his arms in the air, feeling the weariness in his muscles after so many days of fighting in the arena.
"In my current state, I can even defeat Ken. Looks like the top rank is not out of reach." Rain grinned widely, his eyes sparkling with anticipation as he stepped into the arena.

[2 days later, Mythosia]
According to the time of Mythosia, two days had passed since Rain had started fighting against the top rankers of the C rank in the arena.
During this time, he had meticulously analyzed every recording of his fights, seeking to improve himself further.
The bot helped him to analyze every fight thoroughly.
In his quest to reach the top ranks of Mythosia, Rain faced many formidable opponents.
Among them was a skilled swordsman with lightning-fast reflexes, who was difficult to predict.
Another was a powerful mage who could summon deadly creatures to fight on her behalf.
Rain also encountered a giant brute of a man who relied on brute strength and raw power to overwhelm his opponents.
Additionally, he fought against a nimble, agile fighter who was hard to hit and could deal devastating blows in quick succession.
Finally, he came up against a clever trickster who used illusions and misdirection to confuse his opponents.
As he checked his progress, he felt a rush of pride and satisfaction at the numbers before him:
