''Yo, my name is Ichiro.'' I told while putting my hand forwards for a handshake.

''My name is Tania, nice to meet you.'' She told me while shaking my hand.

''From which school you are from? Your uniform doesn't ring a bell.'' I asked with curiosity

''From Viorange, we are located in the Southern part of Gensa,'' she replied

''I see, I am from Ir..''

''I know who you are, I think everyone knows by now,'' she said with slight annoyance.

''Ohh, is Miss Tania jealous of my awesomeness?'' I asked with a smug grin.

''Hahahaha!'' she gave sarcastic laugh. ''If I would be jealous of you, then should I be jealous of monkeys too?''

''ARE YOU CALLING ME MONKEY?!''

''Don't jump to conclusions, you said it not me.''

''Grr..'' I gritted my teeth and started taking deep breaths. 'It would not look good on my resume if I punch young girl to oblivion.'

''So why are you here? You interrupted my sleep.''

''Why do you think people go to BREAK ROOM, and I also shouted ''Time to rest'' before, so make a guess,'' I said with sarcasm.

I looked at her and she 'smiled' very dangerously with some veins popping in her forehead.

*Phew*

She took a deep breath and looked at me with slight anger and asked.''Did the lottery end? How did it go?''

''You weren't there?'' I asked with surprise.

''That is why I am asking from you - you stupid or what?''

*Whew

'Deep breaths Ichiro..' I took deep breaths ignoring my rising anger.

*Breath In* *Breathe Out* *Breath In*

I looked at her with a deadpan expression - while she was looking at me with a smug grin.

''Yes, Lottery is over, if I remember correctly, your team will be in Third Match against Pluten.''

''I see, who is your opponent?''

''..Armya.'' I told and looked away from her because I know she will make fun of me, and I was right.

*Pffftt*

''HAHAHAHAHAHA.'' she was rolling on the ground while laughing, with tears coming out of her eyes.

''It's not that funny.''

''HAHAHA, that is what you get for insulting this princess, it is called Karma.'' she pumped up her chest with proud which made her breasts look slightly bigger.

''But lottery was before I met you though?'' I tilted my head.

''If I say it's because you insult me, THEN IT IS!''

I looked at her like she was an idiot.

''..Whatever,'' I mumbled and went back to my bed, I lied down and closed my eyes.

''..What are you doing?'' she asked with curiosity.

''What does it look like your Majesty, I am trying to sleep, so shut your trap.''

''Grrrr!'' she growled in anger like an angry dog.

''Hmph! Fine.'' she pouted and stormed out of the room.

''You are so good at making friends,'' Lucas said with sarcasm while sitting in another bed

''Shut up..'' I said sleepily.

'System.' I said in my mind with habit - I am already used to doing it every day before sleeping - that's why I check it out by instinct at this point.

I opened my eyes slightly to see the system, but what I saw, shocked me - I widened my eyes in shock and sat up in hurry.

'ALL OF MY STATS HAVE INCREASED BY 10?!?! WHY!' I thought with shock and disbelief.

'System, what is this?!'

[...]

'Of course no answer..' i sighed with visible annoyance on my face.

''Ichiro, what's up?'' Lucas asked with a raised eyebrow.

''..Nothing,'' I told and I lay down on the bed

Lucas shrugged his shoulders and kept lying on the bed while looking at his phone.

'16/65 HP yikes, without my 10 extra vitality points, I would be at 6/55 HP, I would probably be hospitalized..' I started having cold sweat while feeling somewhat lucky.

'System, how much can I heal before my match?'

[From 16/65 - To 22/65.]

'Only 6 points! Are you shitting me? I can barely move, let alone move..' I was feeling frustrated.

'I should have saved some Stat Points to use for Vitality.. Damn it.'

I clicked the shop, it had a few more options to purchase than previously, but without coins, it is useless - also there is nothing to heal me, no healing potions or anything - the only possibility of getting some healing items is Random Box, but I would need 200 coins, which I don't have.

'I have one more option left..'

'PAINKILLERS!'

'Maybe I can at least fight with painkillers, but what scares me is the outcome after the fight, I definitely won't win without huge injuries, Slych is called the strongest Middle School student for a reason.'

I looked around the room, and I saw a metallic cabinet, which was locked - it has a logo of a red cross which represented hospital, there must be some painkillers at least.

I stood up with shaky legs and walked towards the cabinet.

Lucas looked at me with raised eyebrows, looking at me weirdly.

I reached the cabinet and tried opening it, but it was locked, which i already guessed.

I clenched my fist and punched towards the cabinet

*BAM* Dent appeared at the metallic cabinet

''Ichiro, what the fuck?!'' Lucas roared in surprise.

I ignored him and punched again *BAM*

Dent grew bigger, I ignored the pain in my fist and started punching the cabinet without stopping.

After 30 seconds of punching, the cabinet's door was finally dented enough, so that lock won't work anymore.

I opened the cabinet and looked around the cabinet, I finally saw some painkillers, I took them all - I went back towards my bed, under Lucas' gaze.

I put a few painkillers on my mouth and lay down on the bed to rest, only a little bit over an hour left until my match.

''..What the fuck..'' Lucas muttered while looking at the destroyed closet's door.'Yep, he is mentally retarded.' Lucas made his conclusion and lay down to bed and thought of ways to get Ichiro some help.

...

Meanwhile with Armya.

''Alright, gather up,'' Eyrim - The Head Coach of Armya said firmly.

Three Main fighters - Evol - Rawal - Slych gathered around the Eyrim, while Armya's backup fighters were listening closely.

''Listen closely, we will have a huge advantage over this because Irio's third member Liam is easily defeatable.. BUT!'' Eyrim said loudly while staying silent for a few more moments.''NEVER, and I mean never underestimate him, the otherwise same thing will happen to you, as it happened to Hank.'' The trio of Armya nodded solemnly.

''We need to discuss the match-ups, which one will fight Liam?'' He looked at the trio of Armya.

''I guess I will..'' Evol said while scratching his head in annoyance.

Eyrim raised an eyebrow and asked. ''That's odd, usually, you are more than willing to fight stronger opponents.''

Evol sighed and looked at him solemnly.''Irio is strong, we can't joke around anymore, even though I hate to admit, I am weaker than Slych and Rawal, and they are needed to defeat those two monsters from Irio.''

Eyrim smiled slightly while feeling proud of his student. ''Good.''

''Slych,'' Eyrim said towards the long black-haired young man.

''Yes, coach!''

''Which one will you fight?''

Slych grinned slightly and said without hesitation,' 'Ichiro!''

Eyrim looked at him closely, he nodded.''Alright.''

Rawal looked at Slych and gave a long sigh.

''Why am I fighting the strongest member, it seems illogical?'' Rawal asked.

Slych snorted and said. ''What makes you think that Lucas is stronger?'' Rawal raised an eyebrow in surprise.

''Lucas might be stronger..'' Eyrim said quietly, but members of Armya heard him clearly, before Slych could argue back, he continued.''But Ichiro is more dangerous.''

''What do you mean coach?'' Rawal asked in surprise, he has never heard him call anyone dangerous.

''Ichiro's techniques... Should be impossible to be performed at his age.''

The trio of Armya looked at him in shock.

''Who know's what else Ichiro is hiding, but if you lose your concentration even once against him, you will most likely lose.''

Eyrim stood up. ''Get some rest before the fight, it will be a tough one.'' and he walked away shortly afterward.

Slych sat on the bench while clenching his fists.

'I need to rest... I won't get unscathed from next match..' Slych looked at the sky - he was thinking about his family and his girlfriend, their faces kept coming up in his mind.

'I can't disappoint them... Also... Emilia said she will give me some sort of reward if we win... I wonder what will it be.' Slych had visible blush, but then he slapped his cheeks. 'Damn these lewd thoughts! Damn Ichiro for giving me these kinds of thoughts!'

'I wonder which Highschool will they go to.. I would like to be with them on the same team for once..' Slych sighed and started remembering about his previous tournaments.

'If we win this tournament.. then it is time for the Tournament of Countries... Where best Middle School team in the continent of Arya will be crowned..''

'Last year we reached Top 4..' He clenched his teeth while gritting his teeth after remembering the face of the man who defeated him previously..

'Aether Nightside... I will defeat you...'
