Chapter 28: Recent Improvements
Right after the agreement, Jayven returned back to his apartment. Along the way, he also returned the button handed to him by the receptionist.
"Well for now it won't be instantly that he will tell me the training regime, right? If so, I need more money to get ready for the trials."
Getting his Device ready he put on his VR gear and Access into his Account.
As he got in, he fought for a few opponents, and then out of nowhere, a challenge request came.
"Oh, what a girly name BladePrincess, It is both Domineering and cute. Let's see how this one goes."
It wasn't the first time that Jayven was able to fight against those who wanted to request a challenge from him. Sometimes he would lose and at times he would win.
So, accepting a new type of fighter is a very open subject for him. Moments later the two fighters were now facing each other.
The two then waited till the countdown.
With a beep the then the battle started.
The two moved at a speed that was not too fast or too slow. it was quite the exchange the weapon in the hand of BladePrincess was swift and fast not to mention deadly.
But Jayven learned from his previous fight had a blade in hand and had also equipped some gloves. Although it cost a lot it was very useful in his battles.
From time to time Jayven would catch the blade and then he would be caught off guard and sent flying by her kicks.
"Tch, this isn't going anywhere I need to catch her off guard this time."
The two still continued their exchange and this time Jayven noticed something she changed her fighting style.
The mana was like an explosion he was blasted far. Then he heard her talk.
To think I would be forced to this state. This would be an honor for you Unyielding. Take this River of Blades
Then with a whoosh, she charges at him blasting him with continuous blows of attack.
And the attack was so fast that it became a dense wall of blades. Then there Jayven was just standing as he was about to take blows as if he was shocked.
Or was he?
That's right Jayven was not standing there for nothing for he knows how to counter the attack. And as the attack rained down on him Jayven followed the rhythm of the attack and dodged it all.
'Sure, enough this attack is the same as the president's River of Blades. I saw her using this during her fight with Clayton and this was really beautiful and I can't stop watching it.
'Still, I also find holes in these attacks I guess that is what Clayton felt when fighting her huh? Or he didn't feel anything in the first place.'
Not wanting to continue the fight Jayven took distance and threw his knife at a certain gap. And that was at the exact moment her attacks were disrupted for a moment.
Catching her off guard. Jayven didn't miss the chance and got even closer to her.
But not wanting to give up she reactivated her technique River of Blades. But Jayven just dodged it and returned with his own attack.
Not long after he gained momentum gradually lessening her rain of attacks, and afterward, he used his technique to grab her immovable.
Unable to escape his grip Jayven then finished her off by punching her square in the face, marking his win.
"Phew that was really mentally draining. If my shadow leopard step didn't reach the second stage of mastery then it would have been my loss."
Complaining for a bit Jayven checked if his stat can still battle.
"Well let's do a few more then I will take a rest."
Knowing he was still okay, Jayven then continued to do his training until he was fully exhausted.

"The heck? I just lost and even after I used my special move. How was that possible?"
Leia was in a daze as she walked out of her room and took some time to think as she ate her sweets.
"How? I mean, I can see that he read my attacks but even that should be impossible it was entirely different from a regular river of blades."
"Oh, sweetie, I thought you were still in your gaming pod."
"Daaaaddddyyy I looosssttt!"
"That's okay sweetie it is normal to experience defeat."
"But...but...but."
As the Hunter Association branch manager comforted his daughter. Leia explained what had happened.
"I see that is unusual. But Leia that is not an excuse to slack off."
He said looking at the mountain of sweets she just ate.
"I know it is hard but there are monster geniuses out there and I bet you have already fought one prior to this, right?"
Thinking so she did but that was a few months ago right now she was sure that she could beat him if not make it a draw at the very least.
"For now, stop stressing yourself out, calm yourself, and think of a better solution next time."
"Okay, thanks, Daddy."
Adhering to her father's words she calmed herself down and made a strong solemn vow to herself.
'Clayton and now this Unyielding guy, Hmph! Just watch I will beat you all.'

After two days' worth of fighting in the Aether Realm, he now accumulated a lot of credits.

"Okay, I think I will be fine with this. Master said that he would give the training regime tonight. Meaning I will have time to let's wait and see what he has in store."
Not long after there was a ring on his phone and when he went to check on it, sure enough, the training regime was sent to him.
He then took a look at it and after looking at it for a while he had one thing the training, he was doing wasn't any waste.
The regime is almost the same as mine although the difference is a lot clearer. The intensity the process and the details of each workout are different except for one thing though.
He then double-checked and was sure.
There is no clear training for the INT attributes. Even so, this is better than the usual ones I just have to do some studying to increase my INT.
Having finalized his plan, he started his new training regime. The training at first was definitely too much to handle but later on, Jayven was able to handle it fine since he could balance training and school work after familiarizing himself with it.
And since the training was made by someone who is a professional his increase in stats was better than his regular one.
Before he needs to full time to train full-time to increase stats to 4 every week. But by following the instructions given to him he was able to achieve the same increase of stat by half the effort.
Thanks to that he was able to get back to the previous stats he had before.

"This is good I don't know why but it seems I am reaching the limit of my current training since it is getting harder to increase my stats as I get closer to the fifty-point mark.
Knowing that the training was effective he continued, and later on, he was able to manage his schedule after a month of training. Only to receive a new workout regime. And a set of workout equipment
"Damn, do I have to carry weights during training this time? Well, I guess this is good since my stats are growing.
But even as he complained he still continued.
After that month he got a new training regime and a warning. As he opened it, he learned that the warning was about the recovery potions he prepared for training.
So, heeding the warnings he slowed down the intake of those potions. And the intensity of the training was still increasing by the month.
Then the month after that he was given his first trial. Which was hunting.
"So, this time he wants me to go hunting huh? I don't if I should feel at ease or afraid but for now, let's the trial required for him to do."
And the task given to him is hunting a thousand vine squirrels within a week.
