Chapter 81: Teacher
Arnold found it hard to believe that Lila had been somewhere eavesdropping while he was having the Tactical Combat Training. Although he never asked what she was really talking about, he already knew after all.
But yet, he attempted to confirm.
"What... What stuff?" Arnold's eyes were sharp and curious.
"That flying move... It's so Incredible!" Lila never noticed his astonishment as she was still smiling uncontrollably as she spoke.
Arnold bit his lips and turned to look at Mark.
Mark was unfortunately focused on his meal at that moment, so he ignored him and returned his focus to Mia.
"Do you mean you were eavesdropping while I trained last night?" Arnold furrowed his brows in shock, curious.
"No... WE were eavesdropping while you trained last night," Lila's cheeks flushed as she switched her glance to Mark.
At that instant, Mark had been jolted up with widened eyes, noticing that Lila had exposed him.
"Ah, shit... You damned bitch," Mark almost gave her a slight hit in the back.
"What, huh? Is it not true?!" Lila attacked back.
Mark then turned to Arnold with a seemingly innocent face. "Don't believe her, Max. I didn't go with her!"
"Then how come you have the video on your smartphone?!" Mia glared at him.
"We used his phone to make a video of the high-flying move... If you don't believe me, ask Mark to spare us his phone for a minute," Lila had a sincere look on her face, and she was hellbent on trying to expose Mark!
Arnold didn't know whether to laugh or cry; he was only looking like a whitened ghost that had no words to let out...
"Why would I do that? I said I didn't go with you... Stop adding me to your mess!" Mark still tried to defend himself, but there was nothing he could say that could convince Arnold.
Arnold knew Lila couldn't tell unnecessary lies, and he already sensed Mark's reactions. Although he was good at defending himself, he wasn't smart enough in the face of Max Fury.
As for the phone... Since it was visibly gonna be the only proof, Arnold couldn't help but demand for it.
Although this wasn't like some sort of quarrel, it was a playful issue between friends.
"Why can't you just spare your smartphone for a minute as Lila had said. If you really didn't come with her to the training ring, you shouldn't be worried, right?"
Arnold smiled at Mark, who suddenly had a change of look.
"Alright alright... Alright! I went with her," he confessed.
This time, all three of them burst into laughter, seeing Mark being shamed and exposed.
Even Mark himself couldn't hold back the laughter as it was hilarious having to fail a defending attempt, against a lady.
Lila wasn't only smart, she was crazy!
"And why did you guys come?" Arnold then stopped laughing and asked.
"We wanted to see what you didn't want us to see. That's why we came," Mark said.
"Then it turned out to be an incredible practice. One that every wrestler in Grindhouse Wrestling would love to learn.
I admire you, Max Fury."
Lila gulped down a mouthful of water and said.
"No worries. Now that we are going to be having practices together, you don't need to feel bad anymore," Arnold assured them. However, their happiness wasn't fully guaranteed until they got to notice the improvement in them.
They ate up until they were full... Not overfed, but they had to eat enough to enhance their body strength.
After finishing their meal, Arnold forced them to rest for a while before they headed to the training ring.
His friends were making the efforts too much at this point, trying to be just like Max Fury. They were eager to train, practice, train, and practice again without mind to rest.
'If truly that his the only way to be the strongest wrestler, then I will do it!'
This was what Mark said to himself, and he was actually making that effort.
When they finally got to the training ring, Arnold wanted to start practicing the Hardcore Wrestling Art, but with Mark and Lila desperate to start learning, he was left with no choice.
'Advocate, how can handle this?' Arnold ran to the system for help.
[Just give them what to practice in the meantime after teaching them how to do it perfectly.]
"But I can't know if it's perfect," Arnold complained.
[You don't need to. I will analyze it myself and tell you if it's perfect enough.]
This kept Arnold's mind at rest...
'Good idea, thanks.'
Arnold acknowledged the system's idea and returned his attention to his friends right after.
"So, you guys are going to be practicing alone after I give two practical teachings. First, you need to perfect using the move. Second, you need to improve your Attack Power," Arnold explained.
The Attack Power wasn't only a feature of the system since the Attributes were a fitness factor. Although no one had the privilege to see the level of their attributes like Arnold, it was still something known to everyone.
Mark and Lila nodded at his expectations.
Then...
They decided to Broad Kick for a start.
The system had initially warned Arnold not to teach them several moves in his arsenal, including his three finishers...
There were still other untouched moves they could learn to make them improve, however, the main goal was to help them advance their Attributes... Even though it would take a while, unlike Arnold's, that advances real quick.
He had the system...
They had... God? No nature!
It was only a matter of time before they could outstand many stars on the roster with the help of Arnold acting on the guidance of the Pro Wrestling System.
They began the practice quickly, and Arnold showed them the Broad Kick move practically more than twice.
It was certain that they were attentive due to their interest, so he didn't have to worry too much.
When he was finally done, it was their turn to practice, and Arnold was ready to go ahead to a different ring to practice Hardcore Wrestling.
However, just as he turned to walk away, the system's notification made him freeze.
[3% perfect. So weak!]
