Sylvia

[Congratulations to the host for completing the optional mission by surviving for 2 minutes under the attacks of Scarlet. The host has been rewarded with beginner level combat skills.]

Jaden did not pay that much attention to the prompt that appeared in front of him together with the voice. Instead, he simply paid attention to the changes that were happening all over his body, together with the load of information that was being poured into his mind.

He felt that his muscles were kind of itchy, as muscle memory was being injected into his body. Additionally, the information that was being poured into his body was related to combat.

And as he was going through the information, Jaden could not help but be surprised by the content of the information. The information was extremely detailed, that even Jaden wondered if it was actually about beginner level combat skills.

Scarlet on the other hand did not know what was going on with Jaden. After this guy managed to dodge an attack from her, his movements suddenly stopped. It was as if he was stunned by something.

Despite not understanding the reason why Jaden was reacting in such a way, she did not stop her attack at all. Instead, she launched an attack towards his face.

She had already gotten frustrated that she had not managed to touch this guy the way that she wanted. And since this was her chance, she was definitely not going to waste it.

Bang!

Her fist connected with Jaden's face. Immediately, Jaden's nose was injured, and blood began coming from it. The punch that Scarlet had launched was with her full strength, and was not holding back.

Scarlet herself was not weak at all, and so, when she attacked, the moment that they attack landed on Jaden, Jaden was immediately brought back to the reality.

When he felt the pain on his nose, he could not help but curse the system. Why the heck would the system distribute the rewards to him in a critical moment like the one that he was experiencing at the moment?

After all, he was slightly distracted when he was in a fight, and Scarlet used that opportunity to injure him. And more than that, Jaden could see that Scarlet was attacking again. Despite the fact that she had already managed to injure him, she had not stopped at all!

Jaden did not hesitate and made a move, dodging the attack perfectly. This time, it was not just him, but even Scarlet was completely flabbergasted by the move that Jaden had made, dodging the attack that she had launched easily.

[The host is currently in a difficult situation. So, the reward of the mission will be useful to the host in the current situation that the host is facing. For that reason, the reward was immediately distributed the moment that the host completed the mission.]

At the same time as Jaden was surprised by how he had managed to easily dodge the attack from Scarlet, prompt appeared in front of him.

Of course, Jaden did not really care about the prompt, but instead, he simply focused on the fact that he had dodged the attack that was supposed to hit him due to his late reaction.

Scarlet on the other hand, although she was also surprised by the fact that Jaden had managed to dodge the attack, she just thought that this guy was really lucky. So, she did not stop attacking, and launched a kick towards him.

This time, Jaden did not dare to focus on the system at all. Instead, he decided to focus on the fight first, before communicating with the system later on.

The moment that Scarlet attacked, Jaden felt like her movements had suddenly slowed down. It might be true that it was not very slow, but even then, he felt like Scarlet was slower than before.

Thinking that it was because she was tired, he did not think much about it, and easily managed to move to the side, dodging the attack.

At this moment, he had realized that the itching of his muscles had already stopped. Additionally, the way that he was capable of dodging the attacks was so natural to him, as if he had done it many times already. So, he was not having much difficulty in dealing with the attacks that Scarlet was launching.

Scarlet did not give up despite the fact that Jaden managed to dodge the attack. She just continued attacking, and the intensity of the attacks that she was launching kept on increasing.

But the thing that frustrated her the most was the fact that despite the fact that she was using her full strength, she realized that she was not capable of dealing with Jaden at all.

In fact, ever since she had managed to land a hit on him, she had not gotten a chance of getting closer to hitting him anymore. Every time, he would be able to dodge her attacks as if he had already been anticipating her attack.

She pursed her lips in frustration. She could feel that she was already getting exhausted considering that she had been attacking continuously for more than 2 minutes without stopping, but even then, she was not willing.

Currently, she was already sweating. The red tracksuit that she was wearing was already soaked in sweat and some of her prominent features such as her figure, were outlined.

Jaden on the other hand, was excited. He had never thought that the beginner level combat skills were actually this overpowered. With the beginner level skills, he was actually capable of dealing with the attack that he was having difficulty in dealing with.

Additionally, he felt that if he wanted to deal with Scarlet, it would just be a matter of about five moves before he eliminated her. But in any case, he just continued dodging the attacks, making Scarlet even more frustrated.

Just like before, he was not willing to attack her, despite being tempted. After all, he was not sure if he was going to lose his job if he attacked her and injured her.

Scarlet looked at Jaden who was dodging her attacks with ease. The blood that was coming from his nose had already stopped, but even then, the nose was kind of bloodied.

Looking at his calm expression, Scarlet felt like this guy was actually provoking her. After all, he was capable of dodging her attacks easily, but he was not attacking her at all. In fact, he had stopped blocking her attacks, making her hit air time and time again as she attacked.

Just as Scarlet was about to continue attacking, a voice suddenly reached her ears.

"Scarlet, it's better if you stop now. You are definitely not capable of dealing with him." The feminine voice stated firmly. The voice was kind of authoritative, making Scarlet immediately stop her movements.

Although she stopped attacking Jaden, she turned around and looked towards the person who had spoken. It was none other than the lady that was present within the gym and was previously training.

She possessed blonde hair and blue eyes. She possessed a stern expression on her attractive face as she looked at Scarlet. She looked like a person who was in her late 20s. She possessed a good figure, most probably due to training.

"What is it Sylvia? I am trying to spar with my bodyguard. Is there any problem with that?" Scarlet asked in a displeased voice.

Sylvia shook her head as she responded, "It is not as if there is a problem here with you sparring with your bodyguard. But this is definitely not going to be beneficial to you. First of all, you are the only one attacking, so, you are not going to gain enough in this sparring match."

Without giving Scarlet a chance of saying anything, Sylvia continued, "In a sparring match that is beneficial to you, you are supposed to be attacked so that you can know how to defend yourself. But if you only know how to attack, how will you defend in case you meet an enemy that is going to attack you? That is going to be completely useless."

Sylvia shifted her gaze and looked at Jaden who was standing in a corner of the ring without saying anything. He was just observing the two ladies in front of him, while at the same time paying attention to the prompts from the system about the reward that he had received.

Noticing that Jaden was not saying anything, Sylvia continued. "Additionally, from the looks of it, you are definitely not capable of dealing with him. So, you are so frustrated because you are attacks are not landing on the target. Why don't you spar with me instead? I promise that I will not use my full strength to allow you to gain more experience."

When Scarlet heard what Sylvia said, she could not help but tremble subconsciously. She knew the terror that Sylvia possessed. This lady was a maniac, even more than she herself.

Every time that the two of them fought, she was the one that was losing. Additionally, she would end up beaten by the other party that she would have to beg for mercy. But even after begging, Sylvia would continue beating her up, until she was satisfied.

"Forget about it. I'm already tired, and I'm definitely not going to fight against you." Scarlet rejected immediately. She was definitely not going to fight against this battle maniac.

Sylvia had already expected that Scarlet was not going to agree. So, she turned her attention and looked at Jaden. "Do you want to spar with me?" She asked with a hint of expectation in her eyes.
