บท 7: Weak Ass
"Ah... ah..."
Ayo's cries of pain filled the room as his aunt, Shola, expertly massaged his back. Despite the pain, he couldn't help but relish the luxury of the massage.
'Being massaged by a hot black babe... should I write that off my bucket list?' he mused internally, continuing to savor the experience.
But then, her hand ventured toward his injured one.
"Haaa!!! Not the hand!!" Ayo screamed in agony.
"Did you really defeat Adelaide...? I thought you were uninterested in martial arts..." She queried, stepping away from his back and focusing on his hand.
"Martial art?"
"You don't know what that is too?"
"Know what?" Ayo asked, sitting up, eager to learn.
"Hm, I think we should go to the hospital," she suggested with a worried expression.
"It's fine, maybe you can just explain to me the things I don't understand."
"Fine... I'll explain it the way Dad explained to your mother and me. There is more to the world than what you see. This world has somehow managed to preserve the true essence of power throughout history. The wuxia world, jianghu world, and murim world, as they were named in different countries, were thought to have faded into history. But instead, their influence spread wider than ever because people craved the power they possessed. Those who dedicated themselves to endless training and cultivation earned the title of 'martial artist.' In the world of martial artists, power is the ultimate currency, and the laws and rules of ordinary society hold no sway. Over time, a council was established to regulate them, but it remains largely ineffective. Martial artists possess incredible abilities and are willing to kill to achieve their goals. Your mother did everything to protect you from that world. And honestly, I don't want you to be part of it either..."
'...yeah, I know, even I don't want to be a part of it. It's starting to sound like a lot of hassle,' Ayo thought silently as he absorbed his aunt's explanation.
"But seeing you, who has never trained in martial arts, take out Adelaide makes me think perhaps you were born to do this," she added.
"Excuse me, what?" Ayo's eyes shot open, startled by her revelation.
"Adelaide is an elite of the Viseiel sect. He may not be an inner disciple, but his skill is no joke. Yet you claim to have defeated him with a punch?"
"...to be exact, I hit his pressure point, blocking the energy flow to his hand, which caused him to lose balance while he was midair, and then I dealt the final blow..."
"Kyusho-Jitsu? How did you learn that?" She asked, her surprise impossible to conceal.
'...how do I explain to her that I had known how to do this before now...' Ayo contemplated, trying to avoid an elaborate explanation.
Finally, he said, "I am very tired... can we maybe continue this conversation tomorrow..." Ayo requested politely.
Shola smiled and stood up.
"Rest up... I'll call your school to let them know you won't be available tomorrow. I also want to know what happened that caused you to get hit on the head," she stated as she left his room, her figure captivating enough to make any man drool.
Ayo reclined on his bed, gazing at the ceiling fan that continued to turn.
'The bed is so nice, so comfortable, I want to sleep, sleep so much... but why am I worried for some reason...?'
"The system changed too..." he muttered.
"...status interface."

[Fucking lazy bastard]
"Eh?"
'I can swear I have never heard her speak like that... did she just take out her frustration on me?' Ayo shamefully went silent after that.
"...c-can I see my skills menu..." Ayo inquired humbly.
