Honestly, even Gary was i like that would have been i able to follow Blake’s th or speed to act on it, so this was a huge i in the firstcleared up, as it was the end of practice for the day

Gary, for a brief second having forgotten about what had happened to hiround and quickly ca hand

“I’, are you?” Gary asked, worried that he ht have scratched him or broken a few bones He had yet to find out just how strong he was in co that he had not taken into account in all his excitement

“Don’t worry, I’ly as he accepted Gary’s hand He could see that Gary wasn’t paying attention to hiht past hi the field

‘Seeht with a s the rest of the field, putting away the cones and the balls that would be used for practice Tom was one of these helpers and he was also the one to have stumbled upon the very ball that Gary had taken out of Blake’s hand

Picking it up, he noticed that it was co it around he could see there was a large puncture wound One could have still been a coincidence, but the football had five going into the ball as if soers

‘First the desk in class and now the ball? Gary what the hell did you do? No, this isn’t a movie or some book I’m sure there has to be a perfectly normal explanation for this… but then why did you ask me all those questions about olves earlier?’ At thisby tearatulated him on his perfor back hoe smile on his face It had been one horrible day followed by one of the best days of his life he mused, but soon he was reminded by the troubles he still had to face

‘My heartbeat, it looks like the faster it gets, the more it affects et too excited I rowing fur or beco with theabout this, he opened up the system screen, and information about the mark was displayed

Gary grabbed the side of his head, cursing hie of the opportunity to mark Kai

‘Wait is theonly I can see? Wouldn’t that raise a ton of questions otherwise?’ Then he gulped as he thought about the second part ‘Successfully hunt down a target… so does the systeet about the negative side, Gary started to think about soame when he had snatched the ball froave ot for defeating those guys earlier means I’m halfway to a Level Up! Just ill happen once I reach 100 Exp? Will I just get stronger or perhaps I will gain an ability or a skill?’

Thinking about this, reminded Gary that he still had to try to co of y job he still had a wad of cash on hiuess it wouldn’t hurt to try it,’

He headed towards a high street gym and paid them the one day trial fee He was ready to work out There were a few people inside the gy his school clothes,it clear to everybody inside that he had to be an amateur

‘What am I meant to even start with, did the syste?’ With a confused look on his face, it wasn’t long until a friendly trainer approached hiiant sether

“This looks like your first time here I’ive you the first lesson for free”

“It’s okay I-“

“No need to be so cautious, as I said the first lesson is couide you on how to use the equipy So first of all, let’s weigh you and then we’ll look at your body fat percentage With that data I’ll create a personal plan just for you”

Not even letting Gary get a word in, he was soon tailored off to the weighing scale, and the personal trainer had him just where he wanted him

‘These personal trainers… they’re worse than car saleset out of here! What aht up in the wind, at the end of the day the guy did say the first lesson was free

After some measurements the trainer took hiuy, nearly asput on either end, and soon the trainer was pushi+ng ahile describing all the correct points

‘Is this guy really trying to teach me, or does he just want to show off in front of a newbie?’

Finally, the trainer stopped and allowed Gary to try, while he went around the back of the rack to help hi

‘I’ve never even been to the gyht can I lift?’
