Pro Wrestling System

Returning to Capside Centre, it was already very late in the night. Arnold went straight ahead to sleep upon entering his room. And the next morning, he went straight to Mark's room to drag him out to train with him.

They were both going to be having a Tag Team No Disqualification Match, so it was better for them to prepare hard. Who knows what Ben (Justin Reed) and Thane Ryder have in store for the match?

In a No Disqualification Match, anything could be used to fight. If they don't get themselves ready for what may come, then they might be the ones regretting at the end.

"You have been away for long, I made Lila think you would be coming back last night and waited until it was 8 pm," Mark said after Arnold met him in his room.

"I came back yesterday, but it was already 9 pm by then. We had a lot to do in there so it ate up our time," Arnold replied.

Matthew had freshened up before Arnold came, so he only put on his training wear as they both left for a run in the hills.

"Lila... Where is she?" Arnold asked.

"Definitely in her room, we should call her, right?" Mark suggested.

"You should... I can't go," Arnold responded with a sudden change of look on his face.

"It's fine... I will go call her," Mark understood. He went ahead and called Lila while Arnold waited at the exit of the boarding area.

When Lila came out, they all left for the hill without Arnold saying a single word to her. Although it wasn't a result of arrogance, Arnold only found himself held by shackles when she was around him.

He couldn't just be himself when he was somewhere near.

As they walked forward, Arnold suddenly heard a feminine voice from behind, making him freeze in an instant.

"You don't have to feel cold. If you don't want to date me, it's fine. We should stop the awkwardness."

It was Lila who had said this from behind to Arnold, however, Mark was the first to react with a burst into laughter.

"Hahaha! Two weirdos..." Mark shouted with an uncontrollable laugh.

Arnold turned to him and frowned slightly, then he turned to Lila coldly.

"I'm sorry..." He muttered.

Lila only nodded with a grim look on her face, and then, they continued their short journey to the hills.

Clearly, Arnold believed that Lila didn't let everything go with all her heart. The look on her face could tell it all, however, it was certain that he had no choice.

Arnold's heart was somewhere else, period.

It wasn't as if she wasn't beautiful, well, Mia was a goddess of beauty. While she was beautiful, the fact that she saved his life added to his desire for her.

The only thing Arnold was praying for right now was for Mia not to be taken.

'If it turns out that she has a boyfriend, I will go crazy!'

Arnold tried to erase those thoughts...

'No way... I shouldn't be thinking of this... No...'

Upon getting to the hills, Arnold and Mark started the climbing with a jog at first. The hill's length was about a kilometer, making it quite hard to climb. Not only was it very lengthy, but the rate of the elevation was tiring.

Only people with great levels of endurance, strength, and agility could reach the very end of the hill. Other than Arnold, only a few wrestlers who came here could reach the end. Even Mark could only make it up to seven hundred meters, while Lila could climb to five hundred sometimes.

When they climb with a run, the progress could even be lower. However, Arnold still manages to reach the top.

They started the running session after the jogging section, and this time, Lila didn't hesitate to join them. Most days, she had been unable to surpass five hundred meters in the climbing so she aimed to make good progress today.

There was a board planted with all the different stages of the hill, calculating the progress from hundred meters to an additional hundred meters rate up to a kilometer which turns out to be the end point. The hills were an abandoned piece of land bought by the Ultimate Revolution Wrestling Management years ago, but the wrestlers had taken advantage of them, as it could be in good use.

"Are you sure you want to do this?" Mark asked Lila with a smile as they were already standing on the starting line, ready to go.

"What do you mean? Is this the first time?" Lila glared at him.

"Alright then, I am just being concerned," Mark said with yet his friendly smile.

"Thank your fucking ass!"

Lila cursed and returned her gaze forward. Arnold had been hearing their funny conversation behind him, but he only acted as if he heard nothing.

"Ready...!"

Arnold shouted.

"Go!"

They began the run immediately, with Arnold taking the lead. As required, they were all at their full running speed, and at this point, everything still had their strength intact.

Before Arnold could know it, Mark approached him from his right-hand side with Lila approaching him from his left-hand side. He didn't react, continuing his running instead.

It had gotten to a stage where Arnold could stop the effect of his System's help in his agility. He also understood that if he didn't use the agility influenced by the system, he could get more points for his agility than using it.

After a long run, Lila was the first to fall.

"I give up," with a faint gasp, she whispered, lying on the stony hill.

"You managed to surpass five hundred meters, good job!" Mark shouted as he continued running.

This time, it was only Arnold and Mark remaining in the race. But it only took a few seconds before Mark slumped as well.

Out of all his races, this was his poorest performance, and Mark blamed him for it.

Arnold had come to discover that one shouldn't talk while running on hills, it would only add to one's exhaustion.

Not wanting to get himself exhausted, he decided not to utter a word and finish the race. Gradually, Arnold progressed forward, enduring the urge to fall and rest.

Eight hundred metres...

He was feeling his lungs cease.

Nine hundred metres...

It only got worse.

But with the help of his endurance, Arnold made sure not to give up. If he gives up, this would be his poorest performance in the hills.

One kilometer...

Finally, he reached the end, jumping into the normal, straight ground.

Just as he fell on his butts and gasped roughly, ranges of notifications popped up in front of him.

[You have gained 8 points to your Agility.]

[You have gained 9 points to your Endurance.]

[You have gained 6 points to your Strength.]

[Host, good job!]

Yet continuously, the strong and enduring Max Fury was making huge progress.
