Completing the task

"So I have to train it to complete the assignment" said victor as he looked at Troupe.

[Yes and the host must also bring their ability to average]

Reading the notification Victor opened his Stat window. To see how much he has to raise his ability stat.

"I guess I don't need to raise its stats in intelligence since it's already average" said victor as he continued to stroke Troupes head.

"But I'm going to need to increase its strength, Durability, Agility, and ability until they are average."

Victor picks up the sleeping Troupe and gently puts him on a chair nearby. Victor then starts doing push ups "since I'm supposed to be a villian that runs a bar, I can't be at the strength of and average person."

Victor does push ups for about five minutes until he stops to take a rest. As he gets up he noticed Troupe doing push ups near him.

"So you want to get stronger as well" said victor as he looked at Troupe. Troupe nods his head in response.

"Ok then let's do another five min of push ups then" victor then begins doing push ups with Troupe along side him.

The two of them did push ups for the rest of, what victor thinks is, the day.

The next day victor could be seen still doing push ups while Troupe is laying on the ground sleeping. As victor gets up he noticed that he doesn't feel a bit fatigued.

"Hey system why don't I feel fatigued?"

[This is due to the systems effect when host is in the bar. When in the bar the host will not need rest, food, or water for their entire life, until the host leaves the bar]

"So I guess I don't have to worry on food or water for me. Did the other bartender have this ability as well" thought victor as he remembered seeing the bartender smiling and cleaning wine cups.

"Wait does Troupe need to eat and drink" victor then turns his head to Troupe. Feeling something staring at him Troupe opens his eyes and see victor staring at him.

"Hey Troupe do you need to eat or drink" being asked a question Troupe responded with shaking its head. "Ok do you need to sleep on a daily basis" Troupe then nods his head.

"So you don't need to eat or drink but need to sleep on a daily basis. Well I don't have to worry about getting you food or water now, and you mainly sleep on that chair."

"Ok Troupe let's get back to training, this time we will work on running" as victor said this he walked to a wall and put his hand on it. Troupe confused on what victor was about to do just sat on the chair and looked at victor.

Victor then began to count down "3, 2, 1, Now!" Victor then ran to the wall infront of him and touched it with his finger. When his finger touched the wall victor began to run back to the wall that he was previously at. After touching the wall he ran back to the other wall. He did this cycle for about ten minutes, at this point Troupe now knowing what victor was doing joined him in the run.

After five more minutes of running Troupe stopped running and sat back onto the chair. "I guess I should stop as well" thought victor as he layer on the ground.

He then opens up both his own and Troupes Stat window.

"Oh Agility is at the average rank and both mine and Troupes Durability increased for some reason.

"I'm also curious how Troupes ability works" victor the looks at Troupe. Feeling a gaze Troupe qoke up from his sleep once again and saw victor looking at him.

"Hey can you show me how your ability works?" Troupe looks at victor for a bit, then Troupes shadow vegan to expand. As if the shadow was alive, several hands came out and began tried to grab nearby objects. All but victor.

"So the hands won't harm me" said victor as he tried to touch one of the hands, but it pulled back when his finger got close to it.

He then saw a nearby chair being grabbed by the hands and dragged into the shadow. "Well that's a cool ability" thought victor.

"I wonder how do I merge with Troupe" thought victor. He then remembered the feeling he got when Troupe was created and how he wanted it out of his body. He tried to remember how it felt at first and when he remembered he tried to make the feeling come back into his body.

As if responding Troupes body began to be sucked into Victor's body. When Troups' body touched Victor's body, he felt the strange feeling once again.

Victor began to focus more on the strange feeling. The more he concentrate on the feeling the more his body felt stronger and lighter. When the feeling was entirely back into his body, he felt like he was as light as a feather.

"Oh, that's new" said victor as he saw [Status] appear on his Stat window. "Ok let's try this ability" victor then tried to use the ability [shadow floor]. When he activated the ability, his shadow began to spread out in a circular motion until a giant circular shadow was underneath him. The nearby chairs and tables were dragged into the shadow.

"Huh, how can I use this ability with ease when it took me a while just to figure out my ability? Is it because I merged with Troupe, which allowed me to use this ability much easier?"

Victor pushed the question to the back of his head, as he didn't want to focus that much on it. He then tries to bring back all the chairs and table back. As he does instead of them coming nice and peacefully, they are launched quickley and violently to every part of the room. Victor seeing this jumps behind the counter where the bartenders would usually be behind.

As the violently thrown furniture are done being thrown Victor looks up "I guess I can use that if I want to use it as a surprise attack."

Victor then notices that none of the chairs or tables were damaged and upon closer expectation they weren't even scratched. "How strong are these chairs" thought victor.

Victor was hit with a massive headache out of no where as he falls onto one knee. As he falls Troupe falls out of his chest and hits head first onto the ground.

"What was that" thought victor as his head ached had disappeared. He then realized that Troupe had left his body "is there a limit to how long I can stay merged or is it something else."

He then noticed that Troupe was asleep "it could be that the creature I merge with can directly split the merging."

Victor the pulled up his abilitys' detail.

As he read he saw the last sentence ""The monster will have its own feelings and thoughts" is that the reason why my ability ended. Did Troupe get bored and disabled merging on his own" thought victor seeing how this was most likely.

Victor picks himself back up and picks up Troupe and puts him on a nearby chair. "Well he is technically a baby so it's understandable if he gets bored."

Victor then goes back to working out. He begins to do stretches, push ups, running from wall to wall. Since he can't get tired nor does he need to eat or drink he continued to work out.

In most of his work outs Troupe joined in thinking it was fun to do. After at least a hour and a half Troupe would go onto its favorite chair and fall asleep.

Victor kept doing this work out non-stop for several days. The times he did stop were days where he would play with Troupe games such as hide and seek or rock, paper, scissors. Since he could get bored just by working out.

He only stopped when he received a notification from the system.

[Hosts ability is ready to be used once again]
