Having retreated back home, Luke was greeted with furious parents for staying out late.
After that he was given even more harsh training.
***********************************************
5 Months Later
***********************************************
Luke was sitting in the same dirt patch, where he and his father practiced swordsmanship, he was sitting at the spot as per usual.
"System, show me me my status
***************************************
[ STATUS ]

PHYSIQUE : 34
MANA : 17

SKILLS
— FLOWTHREAD TECHNIQUE - GREAT ACCOMPLISHMENT
— SERENE FLOW SWORD TECHNIQUE - ADVANCED
****************************************
Luke was fully capable of defeating his father however, he didn't want his father to have a stroke.
Luke held back while seeming like he's improving every single day. Luke had known that if his father didn't have the scar, He wouldn't have been a match for him still.
Luke thought about the His Merchantry Business and thought that his plan had worked, indeed a noble lady did take the bait.
Having heard that there was nobles gathering party before the purchase, Luke was even more ecstatic.
For the noble lady has drawn others to the product. As for competitors, well it's just a matter of drawing an example, for there would be some greedy souls.
However they would not succeed but instead be made an example of and others that observe would know which side to choose because a businessman is a businessman.
In Luke's prevous life, even though he worked at a normal factory, he was also an entrepreneur online and had planned to leave the factory after developing more.
'I've just mostly clicked a minimum of 100 or so a day, because I have a lot to do and depending too much on the system may not end well, considering I don't know it's origin.' Luke thought
" Currently I've maxed out the Flowthread movement technique, I've realized that if I use the technique repeatedly, even while walking, it still improves." Luke said to himself
"While the Serene Flow, I haven't found a good way to repeatedly use it anytime." Luke said
"But now that I've saved this much, I want stronger techniques." Luke said to himself
"Equipment was not the problem, There are plenty of armour and weapons in my mini space." said Luke
"I realized that technique's are harder to pull from random draws." Luke said
'System, Open Store' Luke thought
" I realized that I could order the system with my thoughts" Luke said
A blue panel appeared with many items listed
"Show me movement techniques that are worth 5000 'Clicks' or less. " Luke commanded
********************************************

GREAT ESCAPE — 3200 'clicks'
AZURE STEPS — 4000 'clicks'

" These all are cool sounding names, I want them all however, I need to have restraint."
Luke said as he tried to wipe the drool of his grin.
"I'm not really interested in another escape movement technique, I'll choose 'Azure Steps'. " Luke said
[ CONGRATULATIONS ON THE PURCHASE OF 'AZURE STEPS' ]
"System, Ingrain azure steps"
[INGRAINING THE MOVEMENT TECHNIQUE 'AZURE STEPS' ]
There was a huge change to Luke's Pacing and the way he moved.
"Good, I feel like I can walk a 100 miles.
Let's try it out" Luke said
After Using 'Azure Steps', luke took a step forward it's as if he could see metal plates surfacing on each step, they were azure coloured and were smooth but rough on the edges.
"Wow, each step is like a rhino with steel armour, and this is just the basic version." Luke gasped
"It takes a lot of effort thou, however that's no problem" Luke said contentedly
"Alright next, show me sword techniques that are 5000 'clicks' and less" Luke commanded the system

"Let's take 'Shifting Blade', sounds cool enough, I can't be bothered to look through all these techniques Information." Luke said
[ CONGRATULATIONS OF THE PURCHASE OF 'SHIFTING EDGE' SWORD TECHNIQUE ]
"System, ingrain right away." Luke commanded
[ INGRAINING THE SWORD TECHNIQUE 'SHIFTING EDGE' ]
Luke felt like he could slice a tree in two vertically.
" This also is only at the basic, I can only imagine what they would be like when they are at great accomplishment" Luke said as he drooled.
"I've still got little more than 1,000 'clicks'. " Luke exclaimed
Just then, Luke had an idea
"I've just realized, I have all this mana and nothing to use it for." said Luke
" System show me body enhancement magic that's worth the same and less than 1300 'clicks'." Luke commanded the system
"I'm building a full berserker build" Luke said

Moments later
"Alright, I'll end it there.. so far it been a great harv.."Luke said
Before Luke could finish his sentence, there was scream, well more like a roar.
"Mom?!" said Luke
Luke ran to the house
