10 System upgrade

The girl who stood on the pole turned his head towards the little girl and showed a warm smile. Her worried face turned into confident. The girl turned his head back and looked at the man on the other side of the lake. This man also stood on one of the poles. He was a student of the White Valkyrie academy. His face was calm as if he already won this round.

"#434 are you ready?" Asked the calm student from the girl.

"Bring it on." Said the girl with a happy smile on her face. Now, she can concentrate on the fight without worrying about her little sister.

The student from the academy started running on the poles, towards the girl with perfect balance. The diameter of these poles were not big. One can easily lose his balance and a normal person can't even stay on the pole. Staying on the pole is not hard if you have experience, but fighting on these wooden poles required real skill. The academy literally told them to don't even think about joining if you can't even fight on these poles. A lot of people turned back after they saw the student running on the wooden poles with indifferent face.

The girl on the other side also started running with the same speed. The student from the academy nodded and gave a thumbs up to the girl. The student jumped up and landed before the girl, but he kicked towards her before landing. The girl jumped back and landed on another wooden pole with perfect balance. The student landed on the wooden pole, but the wooden pole became tilted a little. He stayed on the pole even after that.

The girl ran forward with full speed and wanted to kick the wooden pole under the student, but the student pulled a crazy move. He jumped up and landed on the wooden pole with his hands. He grabbed the wooden pole with full force and regained his balance. Then he twisted his waist and kicked the girl. It was more like a deadly breakdance move. The girl blocked the kick with his forearm, but she lost her balance and fell into the water. This is how the fight ended under no more than one minute.

The audience started clapping after the fight ended. The student looked at the girl with a smile and helped her up. The girl lost, but she passed the entrance exam. Daniel walked up to her with the little girl beside him. The two of them reunited and the big sis thanked Daniel. Daniel then said something unexpected to her.

"Your Ryou style was good, but you are still a beginner. You blocked the last kick with your forearm instead of your leg. They don't use forearms in the Ryou style. Did you use it because you panicked or you just didn't know about this? Also your kick was weird. Did you use your waist too much?"

Ryou style was a type of martial arts. It was very popular during the ancient era and it was effective, but this style was very unknown in the modern era and the girl became surprised when she heard Daniel saying these things about her style. It was as if he was a master of the Ryou style.

"You, how do you know about the Ryou style? My grandfather said that only my family knows this style because it's too old."

"Ohh you don't have to worry. I just fought a lot with someone who used this style. My eyes noticed it right after your first move."

It was true. Millions of years ago, Daniel fought with the creator of the Ryou style multiple times. Their battles were legendary. The creator of the Ryou style was almost on the same level as Daniel. In fact, he is a god of war level martial artist just like him.

"Who did you fight a lot? What's his name?" Asked the girl with a questioning gaze.

"Hehehe bring me to your grandfather tommorrow after school, I will tell everything."

The girl wanted to say one more thing, but the student cut her off.

"Next is #435. Are you here?"

"Ohh seems like this is my turn. We'll speak later."

Daniel walked towards the lake and jumped on the wooden pole. He was in perfect balance just like the student before him. He took off his glasses and revealed his bright red eyes. The student chuckled first because he thought that those were just colored contact lenses, but he took a closer look and noticed that those were his real eyes. Daniel didn't care and just started running towards the student with fast speed. He wanted to fight as much as he can and level up the system. He didn't even notice that his competitive side secretly took over.

Daniel closed the distance in an instant and started throwing punches. The student tried to fight back, but the punches were so fast that he needed his full strength to dodge all of them. Daniel then started kicking. He started with a front kick. The student jumped back, but Daniel ran after him. He forgot about the system at this point and just enjoyed the fight.

He didn't notice that a smile appeared on his face. The audience was shocked. The student and Daniel perfectly moved on the wooden poles as if it was the easiest thing in the world. They even kicked and punched each other without stopping. Meanwhile, the system notifications popped up one after another.

[Lv 2 Punch mastery: 5%]

[Lv 2 Kick mastery:5%]

[New skill acquired: Knockback]

Daniel continued his fight with the student and ignored the notifications. He just enjoyed the fight. Old memories appeared inside his head, where he fought against strong opponents. Those fights lasted for hours and Daniel remembers every second. He didn't notice that his punches and kicks became faster thanks to the system upgrade. The student became terrified. A kick landed on his stomach and one of his ribs shattered. The student tried to defend himself, but the punches suddenly became faster and it was not even normal anymore. It was more like a gatling gun.

The student just turned away and jumped into the water.
