Chapter 9 - the battle

Right after the sprint, Michael decided to take a nap to recover his stamina. Luckily, his plan worked. It may have been cheating, but so is having powers in the first place.

 

And after an hour, Michael finally started to feel rested and feel better at last.

 

40 out of 150 stamina

 

Well, it's not by much, but it's a start, Michael thought. Oh, great just my luck, it's time for me to go up there again this is starting to get old. But luckily for me, it looks like God is working through other unbelievers, but it works for me, Michael thought. Now the question of the day. I knew I was exhausted, but not to that point. What in the world caused Michael to think?

 

This skill requires 240 stamina to use said the system. Holy smoke. No wonder it took me so long to wake up, man. I must have been close to death no wonder I was in the hospital for a week, Michael thought! Well, at least on the bright side, at least I lost some weight, Michael thought.

 

Yeah, I'll use that skill because when I have no choice, no matter, until then I'll just upgrade my strength until I have enough stamina to actually use that at will, Michael thought. Normally I live and focus on stuff like my daily Quest, but it's been impossible ever since I woke up in this state, Michael thought. Now how the heck, am I going to beat the odds this time, Michael thought?

 

And soon as the relay got started. I'll screw it, I'll just stretch, it won't hurt to do and run with a little stamina, Michael thought. As soon as he got it, he ran as fast as he could. But again he wasn't at full speed and everybody else around him knew it his speed was at least cut by half, so he lost this round.

 

Yeah, I was afraid of that I'm too tired to do any more running, Michael thought. I may be good at sleeping everywhere I go, but even I can't recover that fast, Michael thought. I can't even get some points because of this whole thing, rats, Michael thought.

 

Lets lucky for him, the last thing was the hurdles for the day. I think I'm going to have to call and quits on this one. Michael thought I just don't have the stamina Michael thought.

 

I think we can skip that one. Besides, I already had a talk with her superiors you did more than enough to impress everybody with your skills take the rest of the day off said the coach. Nothing tomorrow either said the coach. I don't care no classes either besides your teacher seems to be dense, said the coach. Can't argue with that Michael said.

 

And then Michael finally got the rest he wanted, finally got to do his daily quests before going to sleep.

 

Listening to the Bible 200 points was rewarded

 

You now have 300 points, the system said. You can do this quest one more time for 100 points, said the system.

Oh, I see that's how it works. huh that's fine with me for now. At least this makes up for the fact that I did a horrible job today, Michael thought.

Michael Gaines 100 points Points for taking a run, said the system

 

You now have 400 points, said the system.

 

Wow, I forgot about that one, because of my luck's stat it went up a lot faster this time, Michael thought. This quest is complete for the week completed this system. Good because I'm no longer in the mood for any running, Michael thought. I should put more stats into strength. That way I can get more stamina and unlock that thing for good if possible, Michael thought. Besides, it would help prevent this from ever happening again, Michael thought. I may have been saved from doing the sports, but the fighting competition is still on Friday, Michael thought.

 

100 setups. 160 points 

Lifting weights depending on the weights themselves

Riding a bike. 111 points

 Going for a run. 105 points check mark

 Listening to the Bible. 200 points check mark.

 

Well, two down plenty left to go. Michael thought this is much better compared to last time. In fact, it's much better, Michael thought. That's good enough for today, though Michael thought. Besides, I am super tired, Michael thought.

 

And sure enough, the next day Michael got a full rest, ready for the day, feeling a lot better than before.

 

80 stamina out of 150, stamina said the system.

Dang, even after all that I'm still recovering. Ouch, Michael! said so much for doing my daily quests. I guess I can continue listening to the Bible, Michael thought. As long as my roommates are in class it should be no problem, Michael thought.

 

You have listened to the Bible, you have gained 100 points, said the system.

 

You now have 500 points, said the system.

 

500 points, huh, that's more like it but still I think my strength stat is more important because it adds to stamina, Michael thought. And besides, if I just focused on that stat alone it wouldn't solve my problems at all, quite the opposite I think it would make things worse considering the fact that I'm still stuck under Delilah's radar, Michael thought. And, going by her reaction when I was going back to my room yesterday, it looks like she got yelled at Big Time, Michael thought. Well that's what she gets for jumping the gun so fast, it doesn't matter how much you are a douche, you can only go so far, Michael thought.

 

You now have 1057 in strength, the system said.

You have 300 stamina

100 of 300 stamina said the system.

 

Looks like my plan worked, Michael thought. Looks like I'm hit over the mark now. That's much better, said Michael. Now I'll work on speed to balance things out a bit, Michael thought. Besides, I have a feeling I'll unlock my next transformation when I do Michael's thought. Last time is only partial because I only focused on one stat and that is strength Michael thought. But if I can combined speed and strength, I should be able to unlock the next level, Michael thought. It's probably not wise to actually use it, but you never know it might actually come in handy someday, Michael thought.

 

Wednesday the next day Michael woke up even better than yesterday.

Stamina 120 said the system.

 

Well it's not as hard as I wanted but it's close enough besides I'm going to need the points if I'm going to unlock my speed Michael thought.

 

100 setups.160 points 

Lifting weights Depending on the weights themselves

Riding a bike. 111 points

 

First Michael did the Hundred sit-ups for the day

 

Congratulations you got 160 points for setups said the system.

 

You now have 160 points, said the system

That's better but not good enough if I'm going to beat my superiors, Michael thought.

And then Michael went for a bike ride for fun and it was.

You got 222 points for going the extra mile said the system.

You now have 333 points said the system.

 

That's much better but that's still not good enough if I'm going to beat the odds Michael said.

 

Michael lifted weights and gained 140 points for the day.

You have now 522 points said the system.

Excellent just what I need now I'm going to add that to speed this will take that odds a way of me losing to any weaklings I'll face in the future. Sorry guys, but I'm not dumb, said Michael.

 

You have put 500 points to speed

 

You can run 512 mph said the system.

 

Your stamina is now 500 said the system.

 

Your stamina is now 100 out of 500 said the system.

 

You have fully unlocked the lion transformation congratulations said the system But the full transformation Costs 740 Stamina After 14 minutes Of you using it Said the system. 

 

Yikes I better not use it anytime soon Michael thought. Besides the best I can do from here is rest. And gain my stamina back, Said Michael.

 

And then finally Thursday Michael's full day off

 

Stamina 170 out of 500 said the system. Yeah I figured that was going to happen. My stamina seems to recover slowly I was afraid of that Michael thought. But it seems everything about 100 I feel back to normal like it never happened Michael thought. That must be everything above superhuman Michael thought. I did all my daily quests so there's nothing for me to do now besides wait at least now I have two abilities now not just one boy is everybody going to be surprised Michael thought. But when everybody sees my full transformation they'll understand why it's even possible in the first place Michael thought. Man I don't think anybody could beat me now after winning that last fight 500 makes a big difference I noticed Michael thought. But against the seniors out there I don't know about that last time I got lucky Michael thought. Well either way I'll find out the results on Friday but today is going to be my days of rest before the big fight Michael thought. I don't know why but I have a bad feeling I might end up using my full transformation. I'm fighting stronger opponents than before Michael thought. If only there was a way to recover stats quicker I'm pretty sure there is but what is the trigger Michael thought?

 

Friday the big day he was waiting for 

Stamina 410 said the system.

 Holy smokes I feel spectacular so this is what it feels like to be super human That's much better said Michael! but it looks like I'm a little short Michael thought. Oh well looks like I'll just sleep until my turn again Michael thought to himself.

 

And when you got there everyone's eyes was on you and they were not happy in the slightest everyone was giving him the stink eye dirty looks of all different kinds.

What are you guys ever losers now because I won the last fight did I remind you guys that I'm fighting for survival here Michael said? But they ignored his response. Geez what's with the looks I don't get it Michael thought. It sound like I wanted to fight in the first place Michael thought to himself.

 

And there he has the man of the hour the man who pulled off the impossible Michael the Herculean man said the announcer! Herculean man huh Michael thought? Not quite what I had in mind but close enough I suppose Michael thought. I know none of you were happy to see him but guess what he never chose to be in this predicament in the first place so give him some respect said the announcer. Plus he was in the hospital for a week and was lucky he is still alive himself said the announcer. But instead the onions started to throw things at Michael instead including tomatoes. Geez what's their problem Michael thought? The announcer could tell what he was thinking just by the look of Michael's face. Good question kid said the announcer. They really have it out for you tough crowd said the announcer. No joke they should try putting themselves in my shoes Michael said. The announcer started to laugh. You know what I like you kid quite frankly I have to agree with you if they're going to act like spoiled brats said the announcer. And then he starts speaking into the microphone again ladies and gentlemen I know you're depressed because your biggest hero was defeated but guess what he's surpassed him and strength and skill now on top of that I have the feeling he's the only getting stronger still said the answer. Oh yeah right like that little torb can pull off the same trick twice said someone in the audience!!! Did he just call me a twerp? Michael thought annoyed. Can I borrow the microphone for a second said Michael? Sure why not it's not like you're listening to me right now anyway said the announcer. And then Michael started to use the microphone. First of all I'm going to make this perfectly clear I'm actually 18 not younger than that so I'm not a twerp! Second of all you always judge people by their looks not by skill so far from what I see said Michael. And you think you saw a real Herculean man? I hate to break it to you he may be one of the strongest of the first years but you haven't seen anything yet I'm not at my limit I've only just begun Michael said. It may be true that I'm a light type but guess what I still won didn't I? It means their announcement about light type being the weakest was wrong and now I'm going to prove my point again said Michael! Go ahead Play Dirty all you want I don't even care I'll just use it against my opponent the more you throw stuff down here don't forget one of my abilities is luck which means everything you do will affect them not me said Michael! And then everybody stop throwing at the exact moment. Yeah that's better Michael said. And if you try to pull off any dirty tricks all just throw whatever you're doing right back at you quite literally in fact I don't even care if it's a freaking bomb you better be careful what you throw Michael said loud and clear. And then the entire crowd got silent from Fear. Don't get me wrong I'm actually very nice guy when I want to be but if you're going to only be being mean stuff to me I'll just throw it right back at you it doesn't matter if it's words actions or even fists be careful what you ask for Michael said loud and clear. Holy cow this guy's got some serious balls the announcer said. He needs some sponsors and he said that of all things said the announcer. I hope he doesn't put that anger towards me in the future the announcer thought. Here you go said Michael Nicely. Thank you said the announcer nervously. I have a feeling about this guy this guy's different he's not the Arrogant type I'm used to the announcer thought.

And then Michael drifted off to his sleep sleeping next to the people in line. While the answer was talking about him and the others as usual 3 hours go by before his turn

 

490 stamina the system said.

Oh man, just shy of it, Michael thought. Oh well at least a recovered most of it if I'm lucky maybe they'll be weak or something Michael thought. But when he saw his opponent Ashikaga Takauji. He had a sword in his hands. Oh great another famous name Michael thought. But I have a feeling things are going to be a lot easier this time considering I know his element Michael thought. Last time the guy caught me by surprise and threw me into the trees but this time I'm mentally prepared Michael thought. The guy I used air flow as well as the sword technique and created wind strikes from a distance but with Michael speed it was easy to dodge. And the audience was shocked on the fact that he had two abilities the question was why and how. Holy smokes I was right thought the announcer? I didn't think you actually got stronger in that way the announcer thought. Well you got your attention now that's for sure the announcer thought.

 

This is too easy I thought adding to my speed was going to be Overkill but this is more my style Michael thought. And the best part is I haven't broken a sweat yet Michael thought. All you got to be kidding me the Warriors thought. I was expecting to face someone with strength not speed especially not this much he thought. Looks like I'm going to have to get creative he thought

And sure enough he started to create something so big that you even Michael couldn't Dodge. Like I'm going to fall for the same trick twice Michael said and sure enough he put his feet to the ground and started claiming it by putting one hole in after hole in the ground getting closer to him on all fours. What in the world how does that even work Ashikaga Takauji thought?

 

Between having Michael's luck and he's super intense strength
