Chapter 42 - Growth

"Hey hey hey! What are you three doing here? Go back to your apartments right now. Your second game is tomorrow and all three of you have to rest after your long two weeks of training." Kaito explained while standing right in front of the Obstacle Area with Adam, Bull, and Bunny standing right in front of him.

"Calm down Kaito were not here for training, we're here to see our growth that's all. Right after we're done looking at each other's improvements we will be out from here." Adam explained while putting both of his hands right in front of him.

"Oh you want to check your growth, okay sure but don't do it for a long time and I'm going to be here to make sure you three don't stay here," Kaito said while looking towards Adam, Bull, and Bunny who quickly nodded.

"So who wants to go first? Is it you Bull? You look pretty excited today." Kaito asked while looking towards Bull who quickly nodded and took a deep breath while stretching his arms to his sides.

"Yes, I'm going first Kaito. We have talked about this on the train right after me will be Bunny and lastly Lion here." Bull explained as he puts his right hand around Adam's shoulder.

"That's right, now go to the middle of the Obstacle Course I will make your test area. One thing to remember Bull this will be way harder than your training area because you won't be wearing any of your weights." Adam explained as he reached into his right jacket pocket and took out his remote.

"Yeah I know, calm down. I already left my weights on my house. Come on I'm ready." Bull smiled as he took his hand off Adam's shoulder and ran towards the middle of the Obstacle Course while Adam, Bunny, and Kaito walking right behind him.

"Let's sit on that bench it will give us the best view." Bunny pointed towards a bench that was in the middle of the Obstacle Course's wire wall. Adam and Kaito nodded and the three of them walked towards it.

"Are you ready Bull? I'm going to create the area now!" Adam shouted as the three of them sat down with Bull a couple of meters in front of them who quickly gave them a thumbs up.

HOOOOOOH! Adam pressed a green button that was on the right corner of his remote as a loud horn came right underneath Bull. A large circle formed right underneath Bull and raised on its own for a couple of centimeters while a couple of large concrete cubes that was roughly the size of a large Boulder came out from the ground and surrounded Bull.

Bull smiled as he swung his back to his left side and his shield suddenly flew to his left hand. Bull holds the leather strap that was on the back of his shield and pulled the leather straps downwards with his right hand tightened the shield to his left hand.

Bull looked around his surroundings and saw a couple of dozens of concrete balls which have roughly a quarter meter in diameter flew out from the ground and flew around him. He grabbed his sword which was stuck in the middle of his shield with his right hand and holds it tightly while looking around.

"Okay, here we go Bull! Growth test after two weeks of training. No weights are on and the speed of the blocks has been increased by roughly three times are you ready!" Adam asked while hovering his right thumb on the green button that was on the corner of his remote.

"Yup, I'm ready here!" Bull shouted as he slightly bends his knee and stared towards one of the large concrete cubes that were right in front of him. Adam pressed the green button with his right thumb and one of the large concrete cubes that were on Bull's right side suddenly flew towards Bull with great speed.

BAAM! "Way too slow for me!" Bull shouted while blocking the large concrete cube that was right in front of him with his shield. Bull quickly pushed his shield forward and the large concrete cube flew back.

Bull suddenly turned around and swung his sword downwards slicing through a concrete ball that flew towards him. Bull smiled as he looked forward and saw a large concrete cube flew towards him.

"Wow that is very impressive, two weeks of training and he can do that. Great job Lion." Kaito said while watching Bull turning around on his circle platform blocking every single large concrete cube that flew towards him and sliced through every concrete ball that flew towards him as well.

"No Sir, it's all him. He was very serious with his training." Adam said while looking seriously towards Bull who was moving around the circle platform.

HOOOOOH! Ten minutes passed by as a loud horn came from underneath Bull and all of the concrete blocks and balls stopped in the middle of the air.

"Phew, that was intense!" Bull shouted with a wide smile on his face while he puts his sword back to the middle of his shield. Bull wiped the sweat on his forehead while turning around towards Adam, Bunny, and Kaito who were clapping towards him as the large concrete cube and concrete balls flew down to the ground and got absorbed by the ground.

"Amazing job Bull!" Bunny shouted while putting both of her hands right in front of her mouth. Bull smiled while he swung his shield to his back and walked towards Bunny.

"Thank you and it's your turn now Bunny are you ready?" Bull asked while walking towards Bunny who quickly nodded as she jumped out from the bench.

"That was an amazing show Bull great job, I'm sure nothing can get through you." Kaito gave Bull a thumbs up as Bull sat down beside Adam who was pressing a couple of buttons on his remote.

"Thank you, Kaito." Bull said while looking towards Kaito who smiled towards him.

"Hey Lion where's my platform? Come on I can't wait to see my growth!" Bunny shouted from the middle of the Obstacle Area while looking towards Adam who was still pressing a couple of buttons on his remote.

"Wait for a second Bunny! Your area is pretty complicated!" Adam shouted while staring towards the remote that was in his hand, Adam took a deep breath as he pressed the green button on the corner of his remote.

A circle platform that was similar to Bull's platform slowly raised upwards underneath Bunny. Bunny reached to the side of her bag that has a metal blowgun stuck to its side that has a couple of wooden darts around it as she saw dozens of small cubes came out from the ground and flew around her.

"Okay, here we go Bunny! Growth test after a two week of training, you don't have any weights on your bag but you have filled it with all the necessities that you need in the game. The concrete cubes will be three times faster than the ones you use for training so are you ready!" Adam shouted while looking towards Bunny who nodded.

"Do you know we can't see your head from the back? It's covered by your gigantic bag Bunny! But I'm going to assume that you nodded so here we go!" Adam pressed the green button as the concrete cubes around Bunny suddenly speeds up and turned into blurred lines.

Bunny looked towards her right and saw a couple of concrete cubes flew towards her. She quickly jumped towards her left side while bringing her blowgun closer to her mouth.

She shot a couple of darts out from her blowgun which hits all of the concrete cubes that flew towards her right in the middle of all of them. Bunny suddenly ducked down avoided a couple of concrete cubes that flew towards her head.

Bunny shook her blowgun while ducking as a couple of the darts suddenly disappeared from the top of the blowgun and entered her blowgun. She turned her head upwards and shot all of her new darts which hits all of the concrete cubes that flew above her.

"That accuracy of her darts is very very impressive, she must've trained a lot," Kaito said while crossing both of his arms while watching Bunny avoiding every concrete cube that flew towards her while shooting at each of them.

HOOOOH! Ten minutes passed by as a loud horn came from the ground right under Bunny as she stopped right in the middle of the circle platform "Phew that was intense."

"Great job Bunny!" Bull shouted while clapping towards Bunny who slowly walked towards the bench while sliding her blowgun to the side of her bag.

"Yeah, great job Bunny your accuracy and speed have improved a lot." Kaito clapped while looking towards Bunny who stopped right in front of the bench and smiled towards Bull and Kaito.

"Great job Bunny you hit all of the cubes right in the middle of all of them," Adam said while pointing towards the dozens of concrete cubes that stopped in the middle of the air with darts right in the middle of them.

"Oh wow, I will need those back okay Lion? Now come on get up it's your turn." Bunny looked towards Adam who quickly nodded and looked towards his remote which he was holding with both of his hands.

Kaito looked towards Adam and quickly took Adam's remote from his hand. Adam turned his head towards Kaito and saw Kaito smiling while holding his remote "I'm going to need that to make my obstacle course sir."

"It wouldn't be fair if you make your own course Lion. Go and stand there I will make your course." Kaito smiled while pointing towards the middle of the Obstacle Area while Bunny's area slowly sunk into the ground.

"Okay, sir." Adam nodded as he ran towards the middle of the Obstacle Area while a couple of dozens of small flat concrete cube emerged out from the floor and flew to the top of the Obstacle Area.

"Lion don't forget to turn your weights off!" Bull shouted while leaning against the black wire wall behind him while Bunny sat right beside him and looked towards Adam who turned his head towards them.

"Thank you for reminding me that!" Adam smiled towards Bull while giving him a thumbs up. Adam turned his head forwards as a large and long course slowly formed on its own right in front of him.

Adam looked downwards towards the buckle of his belt and tapped it two times while releasing a soft sigh.

"Your area is done, Lion! Do your best!" Kaito shouted while looking towards Adam who quickly nodded as he stretched his arms and legs while looking towards the large course in front of him that was moving around on its own.

Adam smiled as he slightly bent his knees while looking towards the first concrete block that hovers right above the ground a couple of steps in front of him.

Adam suddenly leaped forwards into the first block and quickly climbed up the long and tall obstacle course. Two minutes passed by and Adam reached the end of the course which was near to the roof of the Obstacle Area a couple of hundred meters away from the starting point.

He turned around and smiled as he ran back to the beginning of the obstacle course. He landed on the spot where he begins and looked towards Bull, Bunny, and Kaito who quickly clapped while he wiped the sweat on his face.

"Wow! That was amazing Lion! I think you're faster than me now!" Kaito excitedly said while he clapped towards Adam who slowly walked towards him with a wide smiled on his face.

"I don't think I'm faster than you yet sir I still have a lot more training to do," Adam said while looking towards Kaito.

"That was insane you were like a blur when you run around there!" Bull excitedly said while looking towards Adam.

"Okay great job three of you, now just like what you promised me go back to your apartments and rest. tomorrow is your second game." Kaito said while he slowly stands up and looked towards Adam, Bull, and Bunny who quickly nodded.
