Chapter 11
It was a new day and Jake as usual decided to wake up early so as to complete his daily quest.
Jake went to the gym for the push ups and other physical exercise. After some time, Jake went for his 10km run. When Jake was done, he heard the ding from the system indicating he was done with the quest for today.
"System, pull up my stats." Jake said to the system.

Jake sighed in frustration. "Darn it! It's gonna take 10 days before I level up. If it takes 10 days to get to the next level, then how long will it take for me to get stronger." Jake complained In annoyance.
"I understand your frustrations, but you have to understand that gaining strength is not instant. It takes time." Zee said trying to comfort Jake.
"But it's still taking a hell lot of time. How am I supposed to get my revenge on the werewolves if it takes me so long to level up." Jake complained again.
"Just calm down, don't worry a way will be provided for you to level up faster don't worry." Zee said comforting Jake.
Jake sighed and sucked up his complaints and went to his dorm to take his bath. After a few hours, the whole room were all ready for their homeroom class after taking their breakfast.
All of them apart from Jake were all excited for their homeroom class when Kate noticed how sad Jake was, she decided to approach him.
"Hey, what's up, why do you look all sad?" Kate asked getting close to Jake so they could walk together.
"It's nothing." Jake said trying to move away from Kate.
"Common, you can't hide anything from me. I can see it in your eyes. Besides aren't we family? And families doesn't hide anything from one another." Kate said smiling.
Jake sighed and decided to tell her what was bothering him. "I'm sad because of how weak I am. If I'm this weak, how am I supposed to get my revenge on the werewolves."
"I understand but you don't have to push yourself that hard. If you want to become stronger then it takes time, it isn't an instant something." Kate said.
"This girl is quite wise and beautiful. She said the exact same thing I said. You know, it's good you surrounded yourself with sensible people, at least they could drill some sense into you." Zee mockingly said.
"Will you shut up." Jake angrily said out loud forgetting that Kate was beside him.
"Am sorry if I said something wrong to upset you." Kate said trying to walk away.
Jake quickly grabbed her hand to stop her. "No am sorry, I wasn't talking to you. I was.. there's this memory and sound that keeps resurfacing in my mind so I was trying to shut it off and I mistakenly shouted out loud."
"Are you sure? Because it felt like it was me you were referring to." Kate asked trying to wriggle her arm free from Jake.
"No, it wasn't you." Jake affirmed looking right into Kate's eyes.
"She's quite beautiful." Jake thought.
"What did I tell you. I think she will make a great wife for you." Zee said.
Jake had forgotten that there was an AI in his system listening to his every thought.
"Will you two stop getting all lovey dovey like that and move so we could quickly go for the homeroom class otherwise we will be late." Sophia said.
"No we are not in love or anything." Kate quickly replied yanking her hand from Jake's and blushing.
With that, they made their way to the homeroom class.
In the homeroom class, Thompson kept talking about the current world structure and all other stuff that Jake wasn't interested in. After what felt like an eternity, the class finally ended and they were to head for the training grounds for their physical training.
The whole students did their physical training, and this time Jake was slowly catching up with those in front.
After the physical training, they were finally allowed to spar. Jake paired up with Vynn again and they started sparring. After some minutes of not defeating Vynn, Jake decided to get some rest while drinking water.
But Jake was so annoyed by the fact that he couldn't even defeat Vynn that he threw his bottle and it mistakenly hit a guy that was talking with his friends while resting after the spar.
"Hey! why did you throw a bottle at me. Are you blind or what?" The boy said coming over towards Jake.
" I'm so sorry for throwing the bottle. I didn't do it intentionally, can you please forgive me." Jake apologized.
"Forgive you? Why should I? You threw a bottle at me and now you are here apologizing." The student whose name was Blade said.
"What's your problem? I already apologized so why are you now trying to create a scene." Jake angrily said.
"Oh! Am the one creating a scene now? Fine then no problem." Blade said.
And then Blade walked towards Jake and gave him a strong punch that landed on his face throwing Jake to the ground.
Jake quickly stood up with anger all written on his face.
"How dare you!" Jake said running towards to Blade to get his payback.
But before he could do anything, Sergeant Lee came to interrupt.
"If you wanna fight then do it officially through a ranked battle." Lee said.
"Fine. Let's battle officially." Blade said sending an official request from his watch to Jake's.
When Jake saw the request, his eyes widened.
"How the heck am I supposed to do battle with someone who is currently ranked 180? When I can't even defeat someone who is in rank 199." Jake worriedly thought.
But just when Jake wanted to back down from the challenge, that was when he heard a ding in his head.
