Martial Arts System

Ichiro grabbed the first Random boxes; he turned it around in his hand for a few moments, inspecting it.

The Random Box looked similar as ever. Black box with a white-colored question mark on it.

Ichiro sat down on his bed, which caused other Random Boxes to bounce around.

"Something decent… Please." Ichiro prayed and opened the box.

[Random Box Opened!]

[You Received Beauty Shampoo!]

[Beauty Shampoo: Makes your hair even more beautiful!]

"Useless!" Ichiro shouted and threw the pink-colored shampoo on the Inventory.

"Not a good start…" Ichiro sighed and took another black-colored Random Box.

"Don't fail me," Ichiro said and opened the box.

[Random Box Opened!]

[You Received Dynamite!]

[Dynamite: Press the red button – the countdown will start, and at the end of the countdown, everything goes boom!]

"DOES SYSTEM WANT ME TO BECOME SOME CRAZY EXPLOSION LOVER?!" Ichiro shouted angrily and threw the dynamite dangerously towards Inventory.

Three Random Boxes left.

Ichiro grabbed the third Random Box; he was sweatdropping, if this one is again a failure, he might give up.

"Come on." Ichiro psyched himself up and opened the box.

[Random Box Opened!]

[You Received Fix Your Room Set!]

[Fix Your Room Set: Do you have a messy room? Do you have a broken wall or a broken window? Then the Fix Your Room Set is perfect for you!]

Ichiro went silent; his face didn't have any expression.

But then…

Ichiro nodded, "That's pretty good." He took the Fix Your Room Set and threw it to the room's floor.

The room started glowing in the color of white, and like a magic trick, the walls, the broken desk, shattered lamp, and the ripped posters fixed themselves up.

The room instantly became like it has always been.

"Noice." Ichiro was happy with that.

He took the fourth Random Box.

He twirled the box in his hand. He inhaled and opened it.

[Random Box Opened!]

[You Received Calm Nature Trait!]

[Calm Nature: You will be calm in every situation. You can stay calm in the face of death, and under situations, which seems impossible to survive, but with your Calm Nature, you can think of a way to survive the ordeal]

Ichiro raised an eyebrow. "How does that work?"

He shrugged and decided to find out later; he didn't know if it was useless or not.

He can already stay calm in the face of death, and he never loses his cool, except if he can lose something else than his life, for example, his family…

Ichiro grabbed the last Random Box, it hasn't been the greatest rewards so far, but he has faith in the last one.

[Random Box Opened!]

[You Received Book of Etiquette!]

[Book of Etiquette: Read it to become the perfect gentlemen.]

Ichiro stood up from his bed, walked towards the window, opened it, and threw the book out.

"F*ck." Ichiro cursed, he shook his head out of disappointment and turned around, but then he saw a floating book in front of him.

He grabbed the book and threw it towards the open window.

But the Book of Etiquette stopped moving and started floating towards Ichiro.

"GO AWAY!" Ichiro roared and punched towards the floating book.

[STEEL SMASH!]

The book this time flew outside of the window, but it soon started floating back towards Ichiro.

But Ichiro quickly closed the window.

Ichiro smugly smiled and showed his middle finger.

The Book of Etiquette didn't like it and crashed towards the window, which caused a massive crack to appear on the window.

"WHAT THE F*CK!" Ichiro cursed, he opened the window again, and the Book of Etiquette collided with his face.

Ichiro fell down on the floor while a floating book was still in contact with his face.

"Grr…" Ichiro gritted his teeth, grabbed the floating book, and threw it to Inventory.

This time it succeeded.

The crack on the window magically disappeared as well.

But Ichiro didn't notice it.

He stood up with an exhausted face; he walked towards the bed with lazy steps and lied down.

"Interface…" Ichiro said with a tired tone.

"Lottery…" Ichiro muttered and clicked the [Lottery], the familiar wheel appeared in front of him, floating in the air.

Words [Spin] looked very majestic; it was like it was calling him to press it.

He pointed his hand towards the words [Spin] and pressed.

The wheel started spinning, and familiar colors started showing.

The wheel started slowing down, and soon the color of white was shown.

[You Received Quest Activation Token 1x!]

[Quest Activation Token: It will give a Quest for Host, which he needs the most!]

"Waah…" Ichiro exclaimed, soon a white-colored token appeared in his hand.

He twirled the token in his hand, "This could be my key to reach the Martial Captain…"

Ichiro smiled slightly, "Activate the Token."

[You want to use Quest Activation Token?]

Ichiro pressed Accept without hesitation.

[New Quest Appeared!]

[Battle with Unknown!]

[Objective: Defeat a Savage Beast!]

[Rewards: 38 Stat Points!]

[Failure: None]

[Penalty: -38 Stat Points ]

[Time Limit: None]

"Defeat a Savage Beast?!" Ichiro screamed; he put his hands on his face. "And where can I find a Savage Beast… God damn it…"

But then suddenly… A lightbulb appeared on top of his head.

Ichiro widened his eyes, and a huge smile crept on his face. "The Ranking Test!"

He stood up with joy.

The next Ranking Test will be held in 5 days, and Ichiro is going to participate.

He is going to do the Talent Test and the Martial Leader test.

The Martial Leader test was… To survive, fight against Savage Beast for 5 minutes!

But Ichiro isn't planning to do a pussy route. He will defeat the Savage Beast!

His joy was short-lived though.

Ichiro sat down on his bed with a thinking posture.

'I have never fought against any Mutated Beasts before – It will be very different compared to fighting an ordinary human. I have also heard that the Savage Beast is at least as strong as Half-Step Martial Captain, but it also depends on what type is the Savage Beast, and if it's Agility type, then it definitely is Half-Step.

'But if it is Strength type, then perhaps only Peak Martial Leader… Defense type would be the easiest one – my attacks are strong enough to break Martial Leader's defense.' Ichiro concluded his thoughts, he hates that he has to leave it all to fate, but he doesn't have any other choice.

"Maybe I can make a request?" Ichiro thought aloud, his nickname had already spread, and he is publicly known as Irio's Golden Child. Ichiro thinks that it is pretty cringe, but his reputation can help.

"But do they have multiple Savage Beasts…" Ichiro grimaced. Savage Beasts aren't some common cabbage, and it is already incredible that they have one.

He took another look at his Interface and planned to close it, but then he noticed his coins amount.

[Coins: 2000]

"Hmm…" Ichiro hummed and pressed the [Shop] button.

[Random Box: 200 Coins]

[Advanced Weapon Mastery: 300 Coins]

[Advanced Karate Mastery: 250 Coins]

[Advanced Taekwondo Mastery: 250 Coins]

[Death Ignore (Mythical): 499.999 Coins]

Ichiro was first excited after seeing the Body Improvement Pill, but the words Locked crushed his feelings.

"System, what is this?!" Ichiro shouted angrily.

[Your Body Connection will be worse if you push yourself to Martial Captain with the help of pills… Are you sure that you want to use it?]

Ichiro went silent, but then he shook his head. "What about the Stat Points, how is it any different?"

[Pills are external help. The Stat Points comes with a system; it is worlds apart. You would be stronger than you are now if you hadn't used the Pills early on]

"Why didn't you say it before?!"

[I was only Beginner System previously, Host]

"Ah," Ichiro exclaimed and nodded, he felt regret, but he couldn't change the past.

He looked around the shop, and only the Lottery Spins seemed interesting, but he decided to close the shop.

*Brrr*

His phone vibrated once again.

He took it and saw a few messages popping from the WorldlyTalk app.

[MarkAlley: Wanna play now?]

Ichiro completely forgot that he suggested playing Night's End with his classmates; he turned his gaze towards his console.

He shrugged. "Might as well."
