Chapter 35: Training room

"Okay I've decided. I will free the old man and Nishi." said Kurono. He looked at Kaze and asked, "You don't mind with my choices, right?"

"That's your points. Do as you see fit." replied Kaze. "As for me, like the girl said, I will redeem my own self."

Kurono nodded and asked the Gantz to release the two. Old man Suzuki and Nishi the. got teleported out.

"Thank you, young man." said the old man. "I hope you will soon be freed too."

Nishi looked at Kurono, and said, "Thank you."

After that, the two got teleported out.

Gantz also opened the door, and now, everyone can go back home again.

In the class, Kurono was feeling bored. So he decided to browse his mission panel. As of now he already completed both mission from Freya, and Dark.

"Let use the basic stats to increase my Intelligence." Murmured Kurono. Before he added the stats, he checked his current stats.

Kurono's Stats

Strength: 70

Dexterity: 58

Intelligence: 85

Charm: 10

"Huh? How did my intelligence suddenly become so high?" Kurono was surprised at the changes. He remembered that last time, his Intelligence was 68.

*Host, you have been using your psychic powers for so many times. You even created your own sub-skill from it. That is more effective ways to train and increase you Intelligence. Thus, the result.* explained Freya.

"So that's the case. Alright. I've decided to train further in psychic skills." Kurono then added the 5 basic stats into his Intelligence, turning it into 90. With that addition, he can feel his mind become calmer and more relaxed, as if he'd just taken a bath.

After that, he checked the new skill, Exploding Fist. "Should I test out this skill?"

*I advise you to not do that here. Well, that's okay if you don't mind destroying you classroom.* advised Freya.

"Uh...that skill is that strong?"

*Are you looking down on the skill that I gave you?*

_You should not look down on the skill given by System Entity._ advised the Administrator.

Kurono was surprised with the sudden appearance of the Administrator. "Administrator? Um...hello? Why are you here?"

_I'm here for a round of inspection._ replied the Administrator. _Freya, where is Dark?_

*He said, he is going for a vacation.*

_Damn that kid. Why is he always taking vacation?_ Administrator was furious when he knows his kid is being lazy again. He took a deep breath and sighed. _No matter. Now that I'm here, let me take over a little bit for him._

He then looked at Kurono and said, _So host, let me help you a little. Ask for one thing and I'll decide whether to help you._

"One thing? You mean, if I ask for example a weapon, you will give that thing to me?"

_Not directly. If you ask a weapon, I will issue a mission, and rewards you with said weapon, or something similar._

"Oh, okay. So, I can ask anything?"

_Anything, except become God, or become as powerful as God. Also, the stronger and rarer the thing you asked for, the harder the mission you will get._

Kurono nodded in understanding. He said, "Let me think of it first."

At this time, Shinozaki on Kurono's side spoke to him, "Hei Kurono, do you know what Izumi did in Shinjuku?"

"Huh? I dunno. What did he do?"

"Um... actually, he deceived me to come to Shinjuku. He said, he was hanging out with you in there and asked if I'm interested to come. I thought that I could hangout with you. So, I agreed to come. However, he actually kidnapped me and knocked me down."

Kurono already know this. However, he faked being shocked. "What? He did that? Did he do something bad to you after that?"

"No no. I'm actually okay. When I woke up, I found myself laying down on a bench, not far away from the government tower." explained Shinozaki. "Also, a jacket was on me when I woke up. The smells on the jacket is the same like yours. Did you come and rescued me?"

"Ah...what are you talking about? I didn't go to Shinjuku." lied Kurono.

Shinozaki constricted her eyes, and stared deeply at Kurono. A moment later, she said, "I'll keep that jacket."

"Like I said, I didn't go to Shinjuku."

"Did I say I'll keep the jacket for you?"

"...no."

The two continued chatting until it's time to go back home.

After the school ended, Kurono headed back home. On the way, he was thinking about what the Administrator said to him. What should he ask?

Ding!

At this time, his phone alerted him. It was a text message from Sakurai. He was asking about the training schedule time for today.

After the last aliens mission, the group decided to have a training session, and asked Kurono to decide the time, and course of training. Seeing that Kurono is so much more powerful than them, they decided to appoint him as their trainer.

Kurono then texted back, and informed the time and venue for the training. As he was texting Sakurai, he thought about it and finalized his request to Administrator.

"Administrator, I think I know what I really wanted for now."

_Tell me about it._

"Right now, I and my friends decided to improve ourselves by undergoing some training courses. Can you make it so that we all could improve ourselves faster?"

_Training courses huh. Hmm... alright, here's your mission.

Mission 2: Surpass yourself

Mission Condition:

1. Defeat your clone in the Room of Limit.

2. Win within the time limit._

Rewards: ???

A door appeared in front of Kurono. It then opened and sucked him inside, without any warning.

Thud!

Within a second, Kurono fall inside a small room. Not long after that, a digital timer appeared on the ceiling of the room. After that, another Kurono appeared inside the room.

_Host, please defeat yourself. The time start...now!_

01:59:59

As soon as the timer started, the eyes of the clone Kurono opened, and he looked at Kurono. He raised his hand, and suddenly pulled back.

Instantly, Kurono could feel his body being pulled swiftly towards the clone. He hurriedly, created a Psychic Chainsaw and threw it towards his clone.

The clone evaded it to the side. After that, he X-rayed Kurono's heart and tried to crush it.

Plop!

When his heart got crushed, Kurono dropped down dead, and his body slowly turned into fragments.

A moment later, the fragments combined back, and he got ressurrected again inside the room. As soon as he got alive again, the clone attacked him again.

This time, the clone tried to burst out his brain. Seeing the action of that clone, Kurono hurriedly dashed to the side to avoid the aim from the clone. At the same time, he also tried to crush the heart of the clone.

However, his clone is as fast as him, and able too the evasive action like him. Kurono cursed silently in his heart. 'How am I going to kill my self? No, how am I going to defeat my clone?

He tried to take some weapon from the system storage. To his dismay, he couldn't access the system.

_Sorry host. This mission is not for you to use any weapon. It's about you beating your own clone._

Hearing that, Kurono decided to throw away any thoughts of depending on any external help. He then seriously focused his attention to the current fight.

He thought of countering every attack from his clone. When the clone tried to crush his heart, he also crushed the heart of the clone. Both of them then plopped on the floor, and turned into fragments.

Seconds later, both appeared back alive in the room. Kurono looked at his clone and the digital timer. It doesn't seem like he managed to defeat his clone. 'Wasn't that guy also died just now?'

_Once again, sorry host. You didn't survive when you killed your clone. If you want to surpass yourself, you must remain standing while your clone are down on the floor._ explained the Administrator.

Kurono once again fought his clone. After sometimes, he started to feel annoyed. He and his clone is too similar. If he wanted to defeat this guy, he needed to do something new, something that he didn't have before.

The thought suddenly inspired him. He then tried to create a psychic barrier around himself that could dispell any psychic powers that trying to influence him.

At first, he didn't manage to create the barrier, as it was still a rough idea that he thought out. Moreover, the clone is there to attack and disturb him. He even died for two to three times in the hand of his own clone while trying to create the barrier.

After some trial and error, he finally managed to create the barrier, and no longer got himself killed by the psychic powers of his own clone. After that, he killed the clone by crushing the clone's heart.

After the clone died, it no longer turned into fragments, but directly disappeared from the room. Kurono also got teleported out of that room.

_Congratulation host. You completed the mission. Your rewards is the Room of Limit._

A mini door that looks like a badge appeared in front of Kurono.

_To use that training room, just select some door, and put that thing on the selected door. When you open it, you will be able to enter the training room. You can also bring your friends Inside._

Kurono took the mini door, and Instantly, se details about the Room of Limit appeared.

_Room of Limit_

- Training room to increase one's stats.

- Can hold up to 20 users per training.

- User may choose to enter one of the three room inside, to train each of the three stats; Strength, Dexterity, and Intelligence.

- Every successful training could increase the basic stats up to 10% from the original, and permanently.

- User can enter the room twice per week.

Kurono reread the information to understand further the details. "10%? If, I trained in the room and chooses to train my Intelligence, I only need a week to reach 100. That's really fast."

Kurono was excited as he calculated the results. In that case, it is more east for him to increase his stats by entering the room. He then hurriedly headed home and eagerly awaiting the time for the training session.

...

On a certain place, a boy with the name of Akira Kurono was attending a talk meeting. One of his acquaintance invited him to come join her in that meeting. Therefore, he just followed the woman into the place.

While a leading man was talking in front of the meeting, Akira was sitting in his chair, feeling not really well. Lately, he is suffering from occasional headaches, and some sign of eczema appeared on his back in the shape of bat wings.

"When we suffered from occasional headaches, and some sign of eczema appeared on our back in the form of bat wings, then that is the sign that we are turning into a vampire.

As a vampire, we feed on human blood, and have a strength that is much more powerful than a normal human. That is why human are mostly afraid of us." said the leading man.

Those sentences greatly shocked Akira. The man talked like he knows Akira's situation. It seems, his acquaintance did not randomly invite him into this meeting. It was to let him know the fact that he is a Vampire!

The leading man continued to speak, "However, even us vampire has our own enemies, the Vampire Hunters. Look at this, and try recognizing them. They are a group of people wearing special black suit.

Even though we are not human, we still have our own pride. Let's prey on the humans, and eliminate our natural enemy."

At the screen, it showed some pictures. As soon as Akira saw the pictures, he become shocked. One of the picture was the picture of a person that he was familiar with. That's because the person is his older brother, Kei Kurono.

"Kei? He is a Vampire Hunters?"
