[One Month Later]
Eli’s back slumped against the concrete wall. It’s been a month, and he has finally completed his second half of training. Eli’s knuckles were bruised.

I’ve been fighting the other kids, gaining fighting experience. Although, I could stop here, but I won’t. I’ll need to grow strong. I’ll be going to use the [Training Ground] card.

[New Main Quest!]
Main Quest: Train with [Training Ground] (0/1)
More time you train. The higher the reward> “Open [Training Ground],” Eli stood up. [Diamond Card] Title: Training Field Durability: [Once] “Use [Training Card],” Eli’s skin starts cracking, dispersing like a mist. The author's narrative has been misappropriated; report any instances of this story on Amazon. Eli found himself in shallow water. The sun was up, violating his eyes. Eli looks around, shielding himself from the sun. It was only water, nothing else. He squints his eyes as he spots… himself in the distance. Is this like the [Mastery] that I had to do? What’s beyond [SSS]? Eli sauntered to his clone. You used [Peekaboo]! Eli Gray (How to Fight) Height: 170 cm (5’7 ft) Weight: 59 kg (130 lbs) Strength: SS Endurance: SSS+ Speed: SSS+ Potential: SSS (Awakened) Intelligence: B+ Exclusives: [Ghost], [Doppelganger] So it is like the [Mastery]. I wonder if it scales when I get stronger. I can’t get hit since the pain will double. Ding! “How much is six months here?” “I’ll train for six months then.” Ding! [Main Quest Updated!] Main Quest: Train with [Training Ground] (0/1) More time you train. The higher the reward> Not bad. I wish it could’ve been a [Diamond Card], but oh well. Eli shifts his weight, delivering a punch. The clone ducks under. My [Card(s)] aren’t sealed. However, what’s the point of using them if I won’t get powerful that way. I need to rely less on them. Eli brings his knee up to the clone’s chin. The clone guards its chin with its arms. I wonder if I can command it. “Clone, stop attacking and defend,” the clone immediately goes into defense, guarding themselves. “So I could control you. This is way better,” Eli gets into a stance. Eli throws a barrage of punches, but the clone guards perfectly. “Tch, I have to study you. Analyze your moves.” [One Month Later] “I get it now,” Eli mimics the moves that the clone is displaying. Eli looks at his palm. “Although it’s not perfect, I get it.” [One Month Later] “Clone, come and attack me,” Eli commands. Eli tries to dodge, but the clone’s attacks penetrate his body. “Clone, lower your speed,” Eli commands. Some of the clone’s attacks pierced through Eli’s defense. My heart is racing. I need to stay calm and relax. Eli took deep breaths as he dodged. He immersed himself in the environment. His ears perked up at the sound of water splashing. The whistles of each fist swung. Eli closed his eyes to picture himself in the area. He could feel the presence of his clone until he got punched in the face. The clone shifts its weight, hammering a punch to Eli’s ribs. Eli clenched his teeth. He swung his leg on the clone's jaw. “I can hit you, bastard,” Eli’s lips curled into a smirk as he imitated the clone’s stance. “I got a grasp on how to defeat you, clone. You always go for the best option,” Eli throws a straight punch. The clone sidesteps, but Eli elbowed the clone’s nose. “Then, I must choose the second best, huh? Or is it because you lowered your speed? It’s only been two months in this world, huh? [Four Month Later] Charlotte: where are you, Eli? You’ve been gone for four months! You haven’t answered my texts or calls. Charlotte sighed as she walked through the streets. She was suddenly stopped by a man. “Hello, Executive Charlotte, or should I say ex-executive?” The man snickered. “What the hell are you talking about, Raphael?” Charlotte’s eyes widened. “Didn’t you hear? Riley heard you’re with Eli, so you know what that means, right? I’ll have some fun,” Raphael’s hand shot out to grab Charlotte’s hand. Charlotte’s eyes widened as she tried to yank away. “Riley told me to take you out,” Raphael raised his hand. “W-what?! Riley can’t do that! He promised me that he’ll keep me and my brother safe!” Charlotte yelled out. She closed her eyes as Raphael swung his hand. She opened her eyes after a few seconds. “Are all members scumbags?” Someone catches Raphael’s hand. They tightened their grip on Raphael’s wrist. “Who are you? I’ve never seen someone this powerful other than the ones in the Delinquent Council,” Raphael tried to yank away, but he couldn’t. Raphel’s heart pounds. “What rank are you?” They asked. “I’m part of the Hunting Dogs, let go!” Raphael tries to yank away. “Who the hell are you?!” Raphael’s voice wavers. “Ex-Delinquent Council member Eli Gray,” Eli lets go of Raphael’s wrist. He sidesteps, delivering a sidestep uppercut to Raphael’s midsection. Raphael’s eyes roll back as he doubles over. Eli grabbed Raphael’s head, bashing it to his knee. Blood spurts everywhere as Eli rotates his body, performing the tornado kick. The kick connects with Raphael’s jaw, sending him flying through a glass panel. Raphael crashes into clothing racks. “E-Eli?!” Charlotte’s eyes widened. Raphael stands up, his shoulders slumped. Raphael lunges at Eli, but Eli dodges with his eyes closed. “How—?!” Eli's leg sweeps. He raises his leg, performing the axe kick to Raphael’s skull. Raphael’s face bashed into the asphalt ground, and a splatter of blood spread across the ground. You used [Peekaboo]! Raphael King Height: 188 cm (6’2 ft) Weight: 77 kg (170 lbs) Strength: SR Endurance: SR- Speed: SR+ Potential: C (Awakened) Intelligence: D Hmm, what’s a Hunting Dogs? Do they take out other people? “Charlotte, what’s Hunting Dogs?” Eli turns his head to Charlotte.
