After a few minutes of walking, Arthur finally arrived at the hotel. After greeting the guard and duly thanking him for his kindness, he then took the elevator to his room.
As soon as he entered, he saw that everything was as tidy as ever, thanks to room service.
Thomas was at the computer, as usual, and unlike before, he was not stinking, a sign that he had a shower recently. Before leaving in the morning, Arthur left a small note on the computer, saying that he needed to work in the morning and would only be back in the afternoon.
"Did you have breakfast, lunch and an afternoon snack?" Arthur spoke as he walked over to the computer desk so he could leave the sandwiches there.
"Yes Yes." Thomas spoke as he typed. But he soon stopped and looked at Arthur anxiously.
Knowing what that look meant, Arthur lived up to his expectations: "You can talk. What did you learn today?" A faint smile was on his face.
"In general, I learned everything I could about basic hacking. In terms of programming languages, Python, Java and C + are already in the bag, while I learned a few more. I also started to develop a game with artificial intelligence. It is basically about an open world 3d RPG, like other games out there. The point I want to address is the development of power within the game, trying to make it interesting. Since it's only the first version of the game, I don't know much yet, but over time I learn and perfect the idea. " As before, his innocent and gentle tone made you think it was all very simple.
But ... consider this when he picked up a computer for only two days.
"It really is a very good idea. Don't worry about any hindrance in your learning. I will try to find a better space to learn soon." Trying to hide the shock inside, Arthur just spoke calmly.
Even though Thomas said nothing, Arthur knew the limits that only a notebook, however powerful, can make when it comes to such big things. Servers, supercomputers, more people so you can manage correctly. There are countless variables that help someone to go further in this area.
After he settled down, Arthur also ordered food by app and asked for room service to be picked up for them.
Arthur also asked the manager if he could access the hotel terrace every night, and gave the excuse that he is an admirer of the stars and that is why he wants to use it. It also had the appropriate monetary fee involved.
What he really wanted to do was to practice his fighting techniques. Since he was little, Arthur has always admired these fighters, with fantastic and fanciful strokes. Now that he could do the same thing, there was no harm in practicing.
Arthur then changed his clothes again, this time just sports shorts with thermal shorts underneath and a black tank top. He only had his normal slippers on his feet, since, thanks to the fights, he felt it was more practical to be barefoot. It may be that All-Star is not the most appropriate shoe to fight, but it's not like he bought a shoe for that, so barefoot was the best option now.
Then he said goodbye to Thomas and warned that anything he could call, since he would be on the building's terrace.

As soon as he got there, Arthur put the slippers aside and went to better analyze the new technique he had won.
Heavenly Flow Technique
• Grade: S + •
• Level: Max •
[Description]
Technique created by the Fists Saint. All movements follow and flow according to the user's wishes. Like water, it can be adjusted with any other technique and can be strengthened.
...
'Interesting. But knowing the principle behind it is not the same as knowing how to do it properly. ' Arthur was lost in thought as he analyzed the technique that was already imprinted on his mind.
The Heavenly Flow Technique is basically about a set of 10 techniques. These are: Standing Lake, Flowing River, Light Feather, Heavy Iron, Quiet Rain, Destroyer Storm, Walking Paradise, Strenuous Hell, Harmony and Chaos.
Each technique involves a type of principle of flow, and each of them has the calm and quiet part, as well as the one that brings destruction. There are five contrary principles in these techniques that must be learned together: Rest / Movement, Calm / Hurry, Tranquility / Uproar, Quietness / Agitation and Harmony / Chaos.
As a beginner in the technique, Arthur's body and insight can only understand a few things from the first set of techniques: Standing Lake and Flowing River.
"It is better than nothing, really. I think, over time, I will become stronger and more intelligent, so I can learn all the techniques." Arthur's thoughts were quite simple. He can't do it, so he doesn't break his head.
"But first, I need to check what I can already do!"
Arthur then started to jump and exercise lightly. With the effect of the 'Training' mode, he never knew what his real full strength was, so now would be a great time to test the strength he had gained after leveling up.
With several sets of things he did, Arthur was testing and rating more or less how much those statistics are worth. His strength made the wind blow lightly around him, while his agility allowed him to be as fast as the wind. He realized that his thoughts were faster, and he developed hyperthymesia.
After all, Arthur finally finished and started trying to understand the Rest / Movement principles.
According to the rule of practice, the ultimate goal of these techniques is to be able to stop the flow and return it to its normal state in just an instant, as well as to recover the movement instantly, only with the user's will.
With that, Arthur started to practice, throwing countless blows and his speed getting bigger and bigger, until he could stop instantly. In his strokes were mixtures of countless Martial Arts, such as Karate, Teakwoondo, Muai Thay, Kung Fu and among other types of fights that could be taken from youtube.
These blows were repeated over and over, as well as pauses. It may seem easy enough to do this, but imagine the burden on your body by repeating it several times, until you can stop a kick that comes at 200km / h right away, as well as recover the same speed in a very short time.
All of this requires a very high level of body control. The stronger and faster something is, the more difficult it is to stop it.
Thus, Arthur's practice continued until 10:00 pm. He went down to his room, took a shower and watched some cartoons with Thomas. At 11:00 pm, the two soon went to sleep and Arthur went to get the proper rest.
