When he had focused on the flow of magic in his body, Jake got ready for school, had his breakfast and headed to school with Sky who Jake had to wait for to get ready. But before Jake came down from his room to have breakfast, he had brought up his system screen and looked at his stats to see how much they had increased after the punishment he did last night.

'Just as I expected, it's my strength and endurance that increased.' Jake thought. 'The punishment Miss Anna gave me last night had to do with strength, unlike the one she gave me first which had to do with speed.'
'I need to find more time to focus on my magic flow. Even though I know the strength of my magic and my physical attributes will increase with the help of the system when I complete more quests, I don't want to rely on that completely. I should also be able to improve by myself, without the help of the system. And I've been at level four for too long, I need to level up again.'
'Miss Anna hasn't even taught me how to fight a person who is invisible. And I haven't talked to her about controlling my magic. I have a lot of things to do with Miss Anna.'
Now arriving at school with Sky, Jake and Sky split up and went their separate ways. Jake went to the building for third year students while Sky went to the building for second year students.
Going to the training room, Jake went in and saw the room with a small number of people in it. There were only five students in the room and with Jake entering the room now that made the total number of students in the room six.
Jake saw Kevin and Smith hitting the doll they used to train and looking at the electric board above it to know their strength. Walking to meet them, Jake said "Hey. Miss Anna isn't here yet?"
"She is." Kevin answered as he used all his strength to punch the doll on the head with the steps Anna had taught them and looked up at the electric board to see the number 12 being displayed on it.
"Well where is she?" Jake asked Kevin.
"She left to go do something." Kevin said. "It's still early. We still have at least fifteen minutes before it's time for us to start training. So go take a seat and chill, or join us."
Looking up at the electric board after Smith punched the doll, Jake saw the number 11.2 being displayed on it. "Looks like Smith is still a little bit behind you in terms of strength." Jake said to Kevin.
"Yeah." Kevin said. "And I intend to keep it that way. Maybe I'll also try to increase the gap between us."
"You can try Kevin." Smith said. "Sooner or later I'll close the gap."
"You wish." Kevin replied Smith.
"If I'm already asleep when Miss Anna comes in," Jake said, "you guys should wake me up."
"Okay." Kevin said to Jake.
Heading to the closet where they kept the mats they used, Jake brought one out of it and put it on the floor before lying down and shutting his eyes.
By the time fifteen minutes had passed, all the students were already in the training room and when they saw Kevin and Smith practicing the things they had been taught, they couldn't just sit by and do nothing.
Turning to lie on his side as he was sleeping, Jake opened his eyes for a bit and saw all the students training with the doll.
One of the students had gone to the back of the doll and pressed the button Anna usually pressed to make the doll multiply in different places in the training room.
Seeing everyone practicing the steps Anna had taught them when it was not yet time for their normal training session to begin, Jake groaned and reluctantly stood up from the mat he was lying on then moved to a doll.
'It won't be nice if Miss Anna comes in and sees everyone practicing but sees me sleeping on a mat.' Jake thought. 'Even Kevin's practicing what we've been taught, so I might as well join them and practice. At least I was able to get a few minutes of sleep.'
Performing the side kick Anna had taught them, Jake hit the chest of the doll then looked up at the electric board to see the number that was being displayed. He had not forgotten to hold back some of his strength so when he looked up at the electric board, he saw the number 25.2.
Seeing Jake deliver a side kick to the chest of the doll, Kyle saw the number on the electric board above the doll Jake was using. 'Twenty five point two.' Kyle thought. 'Let me see what the difference is between his strength and mine.'
Carrying out the side kick with the steps Anna had taught them, Kyle also hit the chest of the doll and saw the number 20.6 on the electric board above the doll.
'A difference of five? It's still that much?' Kyle thought after seeing the number. 'That means I need to work harder and do better.'
Opening the door and walking inside the training room, Anna saw all the students practicing the steps she had taught them. The steps for the front kick, steps for the side kick, steps of how to throw a correct punch and kick, they were practicing everything without being told to do so.
'And they're already pretty good at doing the steps.' Anna thought, standing in the doorway and continuing to watch the students who were still practicing the steps without noticing her presence in the training room. 'I'm an amazing teacher.'
