[ Strength: 14 ]
'It increased by one at least.' Aiden thought with a sigh as he was taking a shower.
After completing his quota of 1000 punches with his left hand and 500 punches with his right hand, Aiden had been completely drenched in sweat.
But that was something that was expected.
Aiden then spent an entire week in the same manner but unfortunately, he only got a single more strength point.
If things continued to go this way, it would take Aiden a long time to build his strength. But in the end, it mattered more than free stats.
'I would probably get beaten by system lovers though…' Aiden thought silently as he had a feeling that if system novels loving people ever watched him, they would roast him for his stupidity.
But Aiden knew that he would roast them in the future again.
But when Aiden went to the arena on the eight day, a surprise awaited him.
"Will?" He asked as he saw the lightning haired person waiting for him in the arena.
"Yo." Will raised his hand in greeting before smiling. "I am gonna be your trainer."
Aiden blinked in confusion for a few seconds before he pinched his cheek. But when it hurt, he knew that he wasn't dreaming.
A ten year old was gonna teach him.
[ System suggestion: The host's age is also ten years. This person is the most suitable trainer for the host. ]
'Now that's what you call random.' Aiden though in wonder before he looked at Will's face.
"Can you really train me?" Instead of speaking anything, Will moved forward at lightning fast speed, and Aiden meant literal lightning fast skill since he could see sparks of lightning around Will's body.
'Shadow walk.'
Aiden thought and tried to move away but instead got an error.
[ Error! ]
[ This skill has been sealed up. ]
'I didn't actually learn that skill!'
Aiden could only widen his eyes in disbelief before Will beat the twilights out of him.
His kick hit Aiden in the stomach just and sent him drifting back. But Aiden soon stood up and dusted the dirt of his clothes.
"Come again."
"So you love getting beaten?" Will asked with a smile as he moved forward.
He had expected Aiden to give up after being hit once and instead ask Will to teach him. But it looked as though Aiden had more willpower that Will had imagined.
'He has my power kek.' Will thought before he appeared directly in front of Aiden.
This time, Aiden raised his arms in front of him and spread his feet apart. So when Will kicked him in the abdomen, Aiden managed to hold his ground.
'Always be prepared for the second attack.'
Aiden had been in many fights due to which he at least knew something about fighting. And one of the major things to remember while defending was that there will always be a second blow if the first one was blocked.
"And that's where you are wrong." Will said as he suddenly stepped back.
At first, Aiden had no idea why he didn't hit him twice. But then his entire body suddenly went numb.
'He has the lightning element.' But one of the major advantage the martial artists of this world was the use of elemental energy and elements.
"You don't need a second blow if your first one is stealthy enough." Will said as he pulled Aiden up and retracted his lightning from Aiden's body.
"You were technically cheating by using your lightning energy though."
"Don't be salty about those things. Only a loser would say that." William said as Aiden sighed.
'If only I had my skills, I would have beaten your ass.' Aiden thought while cracking his knuckles.
Even though he hated not being able to use his skills, he realized that it was much better. If the system had never went for whatever unknown reasons, Aiden would have never known about his weakness.
And after all, he didn't have the ultimate weapon of the protagonists. The ultimate plot armor.
"You at least know the basics and since you have practiced your punching skills, your posture is also correct. The only thing that I will teach you is dodging and movement," Will then raised his right hand as lightning sparks appeared around his fingers. "What I just used was thunder chasm movement technique."
"Though I won't be able to use that." Aiden reminded Will that he didn't have the lightning element.
"Then who says you can't create your own. My technique is something I developed b myself while taking a little help from my brother." Will said as he moved forward and placed a hand on Aiden's shoulder. "Just believe in yourself and my teaching."
"Whatever you say." Instead of training alone, it was better for Aiden to train with someone his age.
In this way, he would be able to keep a track of his powers while also keeping track of Will's power.
"But how did you find out about my training?" Aiden asked as Will suddenly took a modest expression.
"Your mother convinced me to do it. And since my heart is so big, I couldn't deny the demon queen." Aiden could only give Will a blank expression at his words.
"See, you are also shocked by my big heart." Will pointed at Aiden's face as the latter started massaging his forehead.
'Is there anyone normal in this world? I have got two overpowered parents, one narcissistic friend, a girl who is extremely annoying that I feel like crushing her foot and a principal who apparently used to eat human children.' Aiden thought while sighing.
[ System suggestion: The host is also like this so he is in a perfectly normal environment. ]
'Are you trying to say I have an annoying trait?'
[ You are the one who said that host. ]
'This as bad as the system…'
[ Correction: I am the system and the one you heard was my presenter. ]
'Whatever you say.' Aiden sighed before looking at Will.
"Let's see what you can teach me Will."
