Ryan’s eyes fluttered open.
Ring! Ring!
Ryan looked at his desk. He saw his phone vibrating; he quickly picked it up.
“Hello?”
Ryan said in a tired tone. He’s rubbing his eyes.
“This is Frank! Johan’s advisor contacted me. He wants to request a meeting between you and Johan!”
Ryan’s mouth agape; a meeting?
“A m-meeting?! Why though?”
Ryan questioned. He yawns and sits back down on his bed.
“He wants to make a deal with you. Now, this could be a trap, which is why I analysed everything about him. Johan is a bit of a liar; he’s pretty smart too. However, this is why we send Myles with you; Kenneth stays to protect the school. If you accept, the meeting will begin at 5 PM. I’ll send you the location.”
Frank said, keeping his composed demeanor. Ryan ruffled his brown locks; it was the morning, and his brain was barely working or even functioning.
“Sure, fine. I’ll meet him. Send me the location.”
Ryan said as he started to dress up.
Beep!
He checked his phone and saw the location. It was in a karaoke building.
“Alright, I received it. I’ll meet them at 5 PM. Inform Myles.”
Ryan said as he put on his shoes. He slung his backpack onto his shoulder and headed out.
“Alright. See you later, boss.”
Frank hung up. Ryan stashed his phone away inside his pocket; he hummed to himself silently. He reached the school gates and entered.
[Few Hours Later]
Ryan is outside of the school gates. He’s waiting for Myles to arrive. He looked around as he finally saw Myles approaching; he was smoking.
“Let’s go.”
Ryan said he turned around and started walking towards the location. They entered the East’s territories; some of the students were looking at him. Some glared at them. They finally reached the building; they entered. They saw students and people inside; a student approached them.
“Ryan, right?”
Ryan nodded; the student gestured for him to follow him. Ryan follows and enters a room. Songs were blaring from the speaker; Johan was drinking beer; he looked up and put down his glass.
“Ah. You’re here. Let’s make a deal; we can be allies and take over the South. How does that sound?”
Johan asked with a hint of authority. He stood up and towered to Ryan; Ryan looked up at Johan directly in his eye.

“How about we unite? We can become one; I’ll be the leader since I’m clearly strong—
You used Weave!”
Ryan’s eyes widened as his body instinctively dodged from Johan’s grasp.
“Are you saying I should surrender?”
Johan asked, his eyes twitching as his veins bulged a bit.
“Yes. That’s what I ask.”
Ryan simply said; Johan slammed the table with his hand.
“Look around. You think you can take all of the East?”
Johan said in an irritated tone; he clenched his fist. Ryan looked around and saw the other students in the room starting to stand up.
Beep!
“New Quest!
Quest: Take over the East (0/1).
Reward: Diamond Card”
Ryan’s eyes widened at the reward; it was higher than “Platinum Cards.” He looked at Johan.
“You used Rage!

Ryan let out a chuckle.
“Sure.”
Ryan smirked at Johan as Johan’s veins started to pop out. Johan throws a roundhouse kick, but Ryan dodges.
“You used Liver Shot!”
Johan clenches his right abdomen; he gasps for air as he drops his knees onto the floor. He’s coughing. The other students started to look at him. He dodged all of their attacks as he took them out one by one.
“NOW!”
Johan screamed. Ryan whipped his head at the door as commotion started to happen. Myles was out there fighting all of the East. Ryan clenched his fists as his knuckles turned a bit white.
“You used Back Kick!”
Johan’s body was sent flying towards the wall. Blood and spit spewed from his mouth as he slumped onto the wall. Ryan headed towards the door.
Beep!
“Warning! Warning! Johan’s potential is running amok!”
Ryan quickly turned around and charged towards Johan’s body. Johan is standing up while his shoulder slumps.
“You used Liver Shot!”
Ryan’s eyes widen as his punch is stopped by Johan.
“Johan has awakened!

Ryan’s face was squeezed by Johan’s grasp. Johan smashes Ryan’s head to the wall; Johan continues doing this. Blood starts to paint the wall; Johan slams his head onto the ground. Ryan’s eyes rolled back as he coughed blood. Johan kicked his body towards the wall. Myles barged into the room covered in blood; he saw Ryan on the floor. Myles charged at Johan.
Myles was on the floor in a split second. Johan gets atop Myles and starts pummeling him. Blood splatters everywhere; Myles struggles to get him off. Ryan couldn’t help but watch. He keeps trying to get up but fails to do so.
“You used Do You Believe In Miracles?!”
Ryan stood up quickly; he charged at Johan.
“You used Stun! You used Threefold! You used Back Kick!”
Johan’s face twists as the kick connects. Johan’s body got sent flying towards the wall. Ryan charged as Johan was temporarily stunned for a few seconds. He starts pummeling Johan’s body. Ryan felt a kick in his stomach. He was sent flying to the opposite of the room. Blood flows down his face, and his body is marked with bruises. Myles helped Ryan get up.
“I don’t know what happened, but I feel replenished.”
Myles simply said. Ryan took his help and looked at Johan, who was slowly approaching them. Myles took in his boxing stance; Johan's face was unreadable, nondescript. Myles threw a hook, but Johan dodged with ease. Myles felt the heel of Johan as he kicked Myles's face. Blood splattered everywhere as Myles fell onto the floor.
“You used Hook!”
Ryan tried to hit Johan; he felt a knee on his chin. His neck whipped up as blood spewed from his gritting teeth.
“Supercharge Card Activated! Speed increased! Rage ended! Stats reverting back to normal!

Ryan clenched his fist; his “Rage” had finally ended. He blew his nose as blood dripped on the floor. He needs to survive until his card finally stacks up. He charged at Johan, visibly slower than before. Johan jumped backward; he jumped as he swung his leg. Ryan looked up.
Thwack!
Blood splattered everywhere as Ryan’s face was slammed onto the floor. His eyes fluttered shut. Myles finally stood up from the floor. Blood spurred from his nose. His shoulders slumped as his legs wobbled.
“Myles Sterling's Potential is running amok.”
Myles took out a cigarette and started smoking. Johan looked at him amused; he finally let out a smile. Johan threw a roundhouse kick, but Myles dodged.
“Myles Sterling has awakened!
