My Slayer System: Rise to Supremacy

After exiting the Qi training class, Jake went for his club class alone. Since they all chose different clubs. It turns out that Cindy also chose the Healing Arts club. Jake followed the directions on his watch and went towards the building. Opening the doors, Jake saw a man doing physical exercises in the middle of the room.

There were no students or anything, the room was completely empty. The man didn't notice someone was there for he was engrossed in his exercises. When he was done, he stood up and that was when he saw Jake. He walked towards Jake and then looked him up and down with a frown on his face.

"Yes? Who are you and what do you want?" The man rudely asked.

"Uhmm, my name is Jake Lucas sir and I'm here for the hand to hand combat training class sir." Jake said surprised by the man's rudeness.

Immediately Jake stated who he was and his reason for being here, the man's expression took a 180 degree turn. His eyes glowing like someone that saw a treasure.

"Say that again." The man requested.

"I said. My name is Jake Lucas and I'm here for the hand to hand combat class." Jake repeated again.

The man almost jumped for joy but he calmly composed himself and looked at Jake with a grin. "Welcome Jake. My name is Sergeant Sunny and am going to be your teacher for this class. Come on in." Sunny said as he led Jake to the middle of the room.

Jake then looked around and curiously asked. "Where are the rest of the students?"

"Students? You are the only student there is. I haven't had a student in years, they all view the class as useless stuff. Youngsters." Sunny scoffed. "So good thing, for you will get my undivided attention and I promise to teach you everything I know."

Jake now understood why he was initially rude and now his attitude changed totally. Sunny's voice now snapped Jake out of his thoughts. "So today, for the next three hours, I'm gonna be teaching you three moves that you need to practice for the rest of the week. I want to inform you, although they might be useless against beast, they will be very useful against humans especially since you will be attending the tournament too."

Not wanting to waste time, Sunny stood In front of a dummy and asked Jake to watch him carefully as he was going to be demonstrating the moves twice and then Jake will also have to practice it.

"So the first move am going to be teaching you is called 'Guard stance' this move is a defensive stance that aims to protect your vital organs." Sunny said while activating the dummy to come and attack him.

The dummy started attacking Sunny but he didn't attack back, he kept on dodging. Anytime the dummy was about to strike his vitals, he will quickly use to Guard stance and then he will continue dodging. Sergeant Sunny kept on demonstrating the move until Jake was confident about knowing the move.

Jake stood in front of the dummy while Sunny went behind it to activate it and then the dummy started attacking Jake but he kept on avoiding each and every hit then when the dummy was about to hit his stomach, Jake on instinct, quickly used the Guard stance to protect his stomach then he quickly struck the dummy sending it flying back.

Sunny was so impressed by what Jake did. Although the skill was somewhat basic, he noticed how flawlessly Jake managed to perfect it, no single mistake. Thinking maybe it was a fluke, Sergeant Sunny brought the dummy back and asked Jake to do the move over and over again. Each time, Jake did the move flawlessly.

'This is kid is quite talented. But before I jump to conclusions, let me test him with more moves to know if he's truly talented.' Sunny thought.

"Okay." Sunny clapped his hands therefore making Jake stop doing the move again. "You performing the move flawlessly has saved us lots of time so let's move on to another move shall we?"

Jake then left the dummy and walked down from the stage and then sunny went up towards the dummy and stood in front of it about to demonstrate another move to Jake.

"This move, I call it Jab. It is a quick, precise and straight punch to your opponent's face." Sunny said and then he activated the dummy again and stood in front of it waiting to be attacked.

The dummy charged right at Sergeant Sunny then it threw a punch towards sergeant Sunny's face but he quickly avoided it by dodging the punch then he moved back again waiting for the dummy to come at him. When the dummy came again, Sergeant Sunny quickly performed the Jab by quickly throwing a punch towards the dummy's face with half his speed and strength.

The dummy was pushed back but it came again and tried to attack. Sergeant Sunny did the jab again and again for Jake to see. Deciding that Jake had seen enough, Sergeant Sunny stepped back and allowed Jake to try perform the Jab on the dummy.

"It's okay if you can't perform the mov…" Sunny's words were cut short for Jake performed the move perfectly without making any mistakes. 'Maybe it's a fluke right?' He thought but Jake performed it like thrice with each flawless.

Smiling to himself, Sunny decided to teach Jake the last move for the day. Standing in front of the dummy again, as usual sunny decided to explain the name of the move before he began.

"So I call this move a Cross. It's a powerful, hooking punch to your opponent's head." Sunny said while activating the dummy again.

Then the dummy came at him and he quickly threw the punch towards the dummy's face. The punch connected successfully and it made the dummy crash on the ground. Jake seeing the move was now inwardly smiling.

'I guess I didn't make the wrong decision by choosing this club. With it, if I don't have any weapon with me, I can still fight and it turns out this sergeant isn't weak after all. Thank you zee.'

"You're welcome." Zee replied and if he had a face now, Jake imagined he would have been smiling.

After performing the move again, Sergeant Sunny invited Jake to perform it. Jake did it once but his timing was somewhat off earning him a hit from the dummy that sent him skidding a bit. Then he calmly tried again and this time he got it right. Which impressed Sunny greatly.

'He is truly a talented kid. My first student in so many years and he turned out to be a genius.' Sunny smiled.

Jake practised the moves all of them over and over again excitedly untill sergeant Sunny's watch made a loud ding signalling the end of the class. "Alright Jake, this is the end of our class today. Tomorrow, we will practise how to weave the three moves together."

Jake smiled ans nodded then he picked up his bag to leave. When he was about leaving, sergeant Sunny called out. "Hey Jake! I will see you tomorrow." Sunny smiled radiantly.

Jake then returned the smile back. "Sure sir. See you tomorrow too."

Jake then turned around to leave the building. 'I guess there's another class to be excited about apart from Qi training.' Jake inwardly smiled.
