Chapter 13: Fury fist technique

Kieran woke up to the familiar chime of his system.

Kieran dropped to the floor and began his push-ups. His increased strength made them feel lighter, but he still pushed himself to maintain good form. Sit-ups followed, the burn in his core feeling more intense than before.

The real test was the run. He stepped outside and started his 1000-meter sprint around the academy grounds. Though the push ups and sit ups was done faster today his run was the main thing that took his energy by the time he had gotten to the thousand meter mark Kieran was panting and weasing he was completely out of breath.

[ Quest Complete ]

[ Quest rewards : +3 Star Points ]

His system rewards popped up as usual, but his focus was elsewhere. After resting a while his breathing has stabilized he looked back at the system screen.

Race. : Human

Ability : ????

Level 1

HP - 10

Strength - 8

Agility - 5

Defense - 5

Stamina - 10

Exp - 35/100

As usual his exp had gone up if he could reach the hundred exp mark he would be able to level up but that wasn't the main thing now

[ Stats point - 3 ]

Strength - 10

Agility - 6

Now that his strength had reach 10 points He could feel it his strength had genuinely improved a lot and now he was going to focus on his Agility and defense stats.

With that, he headed to the cafeteria as he was already feeling hungry.

Kieran grabbed his breakfast tray and found a seat. He ate without much thought, his mind running over the upcoming sparring session where he would be able to try the Fury fist technique he had seen he needed to practice it and there wasn't any other place best for practicing a fist technique than the sparring match

After finishing his meal, he went to homeroom. Mr Derek went over the usual academy announcements, but James barely listened. His mind was still on training.

The training hall was buzzing with energy when Kieran arrived. Students were warming up, stretching, and preparing for their sparring matches.

Sam who was already in the hall saw Kieran enter and a grin formed on his face as he walked over to him.

"Hey how about we spar today again" Sam asked.

"Sure" Kieran replied the same as yesterday honestly Kieran didn't care who he sparred with he just wanted to practice the Fury fist technique

"Alright get into your positions" Lee said as the students picked their partners and got ready.

"Begin!"

Sam moved first throwing punch and kicks as he moved quickly trying to land a hit on Kieran and redeem himself from yesterdays defeat. Kieran didn't hold back as he dodged most of the punch and took some gaining an opening due to Sam's arrogance from landing a hit. He rushed forward, throwing a sharp punch. Sam blocked it, but he stumbled slightly. His arms shook from the impact. The difference in strength was clear now.

Kieran pressed on, unleashing a barrage of attacks. His fists moved instinctively, following a pattern Fury Fist, the technique he had borrowed from the library. It wasn't perfected, but the principles were taking shape.

Sam was struggling. His dodges were getting sloppy, and his counters lacked power.

Desperation flashed in his eyes. He suddenly activated his ability pulling the mat underneath Kieran's foot slightly causing Kieran to miss a step an stumble his fist landing on Sam's face sending him to the ground with a bloody nose.

BAM!

Sam hit the mat hard.

Silence filled the room. The students sparring all stopped their matches murmuring among themselves.

Sam lay on his back for a moment before forcing himself up. His face was flushed not just from exertion, but from frustration.

"Go over to the nurses office to treat your nose."

"A level one ability user just beat a level two ability user in combat"

"Haven't you heard that guy first have an ability"

"So a lesser being just beat an ability user how's that possible"

"He even made his nose bleed"

Sam was deeply embarrassed as he left the hall

[Skill Insight Gained: Fury Fist - Incomplete]

"Let's move on to weapons training " Lee said
