"To be exact. You won't be able to learn much or anything at all in three days.", The purple hair lady said.

She explained, "Even if you are trying to get stronger. Nothing much will change in your strength. You might be able to lift up a couple pounds more.".

Ken stared dead in the eyes of his instructor.

"I knew that. I'm just trying to increase the possibility of me surviving out there", Ken said.

A smile slowly formed on the instructors face, "Hmph.".

The doors to the room slide open. At most fifteen people walked in.

"*Sigh* I won't be able to teach you the basics since everyone here has fully past that.", She explained.

"But some else will be able to. Aiden!!!", The lady shouted.

The left door of the room opened. A guy with pale white hair walked out of the room.

Under his eyes had black lines. He had a lazy expression pasted on his face.

He walked up to the woman, "What do you want, Maria?".

She turned her eyes towards Ken and said, "This is assistant, Aiden. Aiden this is Ken. Ken this is Aiden.".

"Nice to meet ya", Ken said with a dull smile.

Aiden looked at Ken's hands and then his eyes, "Yeah, yeah, yeah. What do you want?".

"Don't mind his rude behavior.", Maria told him.

Ken shaked his head at Maria words.

Maria told Aiden, "You're going to teach Ken here the basics.".

"The basics? But everyone already went through that shit!", Aiden said.

Maria scolded him, "Language! ..His a new student so he doesn't know any of the basics.".

"Ahh, then come with me.", Aiden instructed.

Maria rested her face on her hand, "Go with him.".

"Ok", Ken said.

Three days won't be enough.

Even if you train and destroy every fibre in your body, there won't be a difference.

Strength isn't go stop you from be chewed on.

"So why are you doing this?", Aiden asked Ken.

With a long sigh and dark face he told Aiden, "Because it increases my chances of surviving.".

"Hmm? Good enough.. I guess", Aiden said.

"I guess your training begins now.", He said while closing the door behind them.

Aiden had bring Ken into the room where he had emerged from.

The place was blinding dark.

Ken exclaimed, "I can't see shit.".

"That's because the lights aren't on idiot", Aiden said from the darkness.

The lights turn on after Aiden said his words.

The light revealed a small rectangular room.

Ken scanned the tiny room he was bound to learn in for the time being.

"Sorry if room is too small to your liking, but it's-", Aiden was abruptly cut off by Ken.

"It's fine. It's the teach that matters.", He said.

"Ha. Ok if so let's being the lesson.", Aiden announced.

"The first thing I'll be teaching you is combat styles.".

"To be honest how are you going to fight against a monster that is way out of any humans league. It's not why you use it.. it's how you use.".

"The first combat styles I'll teach is.. taekwondo..".

Ken was confused with the last thing Aiden said, "Thigh-quan-dough?".

"Yes taekwondo.", Aiden repeated.

"It's a style that requires great foot work which will be use full in your job.".

"(Why did his tone changed all of a sudden?", Ken said to himself.

"Come here!", Aiden instructed Ken.

Ken walked up to Aiden hesitantly.

"Kick me. Well try to kick me.", Aiden said.

"You sure?", Ken ask.

"Yeah.".

"You totally sure.".

"Yes stop being a chicky, chick loser.".

"Wa?", Ken was caught off guard.

Ken anger rised when he heard Aiden call him a loser.

He raised his dominating foot which was his right. He strike Aiden and the thigh as it was the high it could go.

Aiden instinctively raise his foot out of the way of Ken's kick.

Ken raised his foot to try again.

Before Ken could attack Aiden, he said, "Run around the room ten times.".

Ken stopped the attack when he heard what Aiden said.

With a totally confused expression Ken asked, "What?".

Aiden reinstated his words, "You heard me, run around this room ten times.".

"What for?", Ken asked.

"For training of course.", Aiden said.

"Hmm", Ken with the corn of the room. He once again had a dark expression on his face.

He started to jog around the room with his unchanging face.

That's how it went for that day.

"..."

Sweat poured down Ken's face as if he was in the rain. He had a mixture of anger and exhausted expression.

"*Yawn* You won't be able to touch me even we try this till morning, so.. the lesson is put on hold", Aiden told Ken.

Ken faced the door. He was disappointed in himself. He walked out the door with bating a eye or word at Aiden.

Not even the breeze of those kicks touched Aiden.

[Level 39.]

Ken arrived at his room. It was now tidy even though he didn't leave it like this.

"(Look the maid came again today).", He explained to himself.

He dropped himself on the bed, while cradling his head.

He looked up at the low grey ceiling.

He let out a sigh. A sigh of disgust.

He wanted to better.

Ken got out of his bed and on to his feet.

He went to the closet and took down all the clothes that were hanging on the steel bar and threw them on to the bed.

He needed to be better.

Ken started to do leg exercises.

He did pulls ups with his feet, even though it was suffocating. He did squats, even though his legs got tired. And he ran around his room, even though he smelt like a stray dog.

He didn't want to be pathetic.

"..."

[Level 39.]

Aiden was walking along the dark halls of the shelter. With his hands in his pockets and the cold artificial breeze blowing on him, he began to whistle.

His whistling was the only sound he could hear on his path to his room.

Abruptly he heard chatter from the corner of his path. He could to walk closer not concerned about the people who were up this late, like himself.

When he got closer he could now hear little weeping. Now he was concerned.

He continued walking at the same pace as before. When turned the corner he saw three men circle something or someone.

He got closer not acting concerned. When he was right behind the men he could see a female crying.

Aiden then knew what was happening.

One of the men turned to see Aiden staring at the scene.

With slightly imitating voice he asked Aiden, "What are you looking at cheap face?!", He said with anger in his voice.

Aiden didn't flinch at his words.

The rest of the man turned around, taking their vision of the girl they were harassing.

Towering over Aiden their threatening aura clashed with Aiden's.

"What do you want punk.", One of the said. He lift up Aiden of the ground with two of hands putting them face to face.

Aiden face slowly got darken, "Put me down.".

"Look guys, the little cockroach is trying to act tough, hahaha!!", The man said.

His comrades chuckled along side him.

"What are you going to do, huh? Little chicken!", Another one said.

"Do you think your some super hero?", Another one asked.

"Hahaha.".

"Hahaha.".

"Hahaha.".

Aiden let out a sigh.

They pissed him off real badly.

*Crack*

"..."

.

Aiden was holding the man in an arm bar, twisting his hands making it crack more than once. He let go of the man of shoved him away.

The man lay down on the floor holding his arm and rolling in the floor.

Aiden said the man, "It's just self defense.".

"Self defense?", The man repeated.

He uttered the words, "Get that mother fucker!!!".

Aiden launched himself towards the two men by stepping on the man's face who was laying on the ground in pain. Blood flow from his nose as his head went flying back.

Aiden threw a right hook at the man to his right and then kneed his liver. The dropped down to his knees in pain.

The other seeing his friends on the ground began to run away.

He was kicked by Aiden with a back kick. He dropped face first on the cold iron floor.

The girl watched as Aiden handled the men who were harassing her.

Aiden kneel down and took off a blue jacket of the man he right hooked.

After looting the man, Aiden continued on his journey to his home.

The girl shouted out to him before he was gone, "T-thank you.. sir!".

"Whatever!", He replied.

The watched in awe as Aiden walked away.

"*Sigh* I wish that fight lasted longer.", Aiden said to himself.

Aiden was a addict to fight.

*Yawn* I should get home before I fall down on my face and sleep out here again.".

He journeyed through the dark hallways. His eyes kept on closing. Aiden kept himself awake, but not forever.

*Crash*

Aiden fell down on the floor.

"I'm too tired..", He whined.

"*Snoring*", As soon as he touched the floor he started to sleep.
