"Lightning Net!"

Mike shouted while spreading his arms. The lightning tingled around him and formed a twenty-meter-long and wide net. The holes made by the lightning threads were only three centimeters in diameter each. There were two long lightning threads that Mike was holding to control the lightning net.

But soon, the lightning net scattered as he had nothing to hold. But, he didn't stop there and immediately condensed a dark blue sphere in his hand. The sphere was the size of a baseball making it easier for him to hold.

It didn't explode even when Mike was holding it hard. The outer shell was smooth and hard but the traces of lightning could be found all around it. These bolts of lightning were enough to paralyze anyone within Soldier Realm for a short amount of time.

But, it was obviously not working against him. There was a deep reason why he created a ball with a smooth and hard shell. During this month, he learned many things. Among them, the most important thing is to prepare himself for every situation.

He has lots of plans in his mind but unfortunately, he doesn't seem to have the resources to complete those plans. Even so, this bomb might be helpful. This bomb was designed to be used as other regular bombs except its destructiveness has been increased by a lot.

It can easily raze most of the thirteenth rank soldiers below Middle-Level Geniuses. Of course, the current bomb in his hand doesn't have such quality. To create such a bomb, he needs to spend at least an hour. Even so, the bomb in his hand can easily destroy a common-level thirteenth rank soldier.

Actually, he had started planning this after the death of Luke. He slowly understood that he can't be omnipresent. So, he must do everything to keep his family and friends safe. On other hand, he can't spend dozens and dozens of system points to buy those resources.

Although his mom is Lord of Curses, she is still in her weakest state. According to Claire, if she uses her powers. She will suffer terrible consequences. That is why she let Mac kidnapped her. The problematic situations for him were sprouting like beams.

Dark Raven Organization has already targeted him. He had already made an enemy with Blood Demon King which is hailed as a genius equal to his master. Well, he isn't far behind both of them in terms of talent. But, he is still weak in front of them.

His master has already made things clear with him. As long as it is not King or Emperor or Half-Saint, he will not interfere even if millions of people try to kill him. He needs to overcome everything on his own. That's why Mike was trying to do everything to be prepared for the worst.

Boom!

Mike moves his left leg forward and throws the lightning bomb towards the wall. The Lightning Bomb moved like a baseball until collides with the wall. After the collision, the bomb exploded the walls into small rubbles as the nearby walls also crumbled down.

But the impact of the explosion wasn't going down that easy. The impact was still rushing towards him in the form of wind pressure. Mike suddenly generates lightning through his finger. Each finger releases a bolt of lightning that transformed into a spear tip.

"Lightning Claw"

Pssssshh!

The claws swept down, piercing through the air. The wind impact separates into pieces and strikes his body. Because of smaller impacts, he didn't suffer much. But he did get the idea about the power of Lightning Bomb.

But, one question kept striking his mind 'How are they going to identify the skill that is created within six hours? It's not like participants have shown every single skill on their arsenal. Not everyone is an idiot like me to show everything in my arsenal just to look cool.'

'But, I don't think I did that to look cool. That phoenix guy was able to push me to my limits. Speed is really something that needs to be improved. I will keep that in mind. Strength, Agility, Intelligence, Stamina, and Defense.'

'Each of them is super important for a person. If I didn't have stamina and defense in that battle, I would have lost by those weak attacks. Similarly, I was at a disadvantage due to the lack of agility and intelligence.'

'Now I have everything except stamina and intelligence, I need to improve both.' As he thought more, the surrounding changed. In an instant, he returned in the middle of the battlefield.

At this moment, MC walked in front of the stage and shouted "To everyone who is present here, Congratulation for clearing the second stage. Everyone, please give them a round of applause for such an outstanding trial. Out of eighty thousand, we now have fifty thousand participants remained for the upcoming stage."

There were dozens of flying droids that showed them everything going inside the trial. Although the number of participants was almost eighty thousand, it could be possible by using several small display and turn-wise methods.

Clap! Clap! Clap! Clap! Clap! Clap!

From eighty thousand to fifty thousand, the number decreased drastically. Some participants were enjoying the applause, some were just smiling, and some were standing without any care about the applause.

Suddenly, Mike walked near a girl standing few meters away from him and greeted "Hi Olive!"

Olive saw Mike walking near her and slightly nodded her head. When Mike looked at her, he saw the same cold eyes that he saw the first time he met her. He got a hard time figuring out the situation. Suddenly, an idea came to his mind as he raised his fist for the fist-bump and said "It might be hard but let's reach the top ten together."

Olive was a little startled when she heard him. She thought Mike would try to annoy her without those flirting words and behavior but didn't expect to get encouragement from him.

Suddenly, a blush appeared on her cold face as she raised her hand and bumped her fist at his.

"Oh! It's you!" Suddenly, a mild voice rang from behind. When Mike heard that voice, he turned his head and saw a young man standing behind. That man was tall and slender with a white complexion. But when his eyes shifted at his ears, he was startled.

Long ears!....... Elf?

Mike almost shouted elf but suddenly controlled his urge because he didn't want to look like a country bumpkin. He slightly closed his distance and spoke "Do you know me?"

"Haha! Who doesn't know the Mad Beast Emperor's disciple? I thought you would rest in bed for few days. But, it seems I was worried for nothing." Aarav smiled as he walked closer and patted Mike's shoulder.

"Worried about me?" Mike was a little confused since he didn't understand why for a moment. But suddenly, he jolted away from the half-elf and made a slight bow "I'm really sorry for being so handsome. But I am not a gay."

"Pu-chi!" For a moment, the entire crowd got silent trying to understand his words until two laughed from and behind and the front. It was Olive from behind and Ava from the front. She was behind a big dude Ares.

Both of them easily understood the meaning behind his words. Aarav took some time but eventually understood those words. His expression darkens as he spoke forcing an ugly smile "You misunderstood! I was worried about my friend. He wanted to have a battle with you seeing your first match. But, you got poisoned so I was worried since he might do something unexpected."

"Oh!" Mike nods his head while walking towards him. Aarav was a little confused why Miki was walking towards him. But suddenly, he noticed Mike passed by him and walked towards Ares.

Upon reaching in front of Ares, he lifted his hand and said "Hello!"

Ares slightly nodded his head but Mike hurriedly explained "I was talking to the beautiful lady behind you."

Hearing his words, Ares's mood darkens like Aarav's as he walked to the side. Only then, Mike saw Ava. He knew she would be S-class in terms of beauty but he couldn't confirm since she was behind Ares.

"Hello, miss! My name is Mike Tyson. Are you free for a cup of coffee?" Mike extends his hand in a polite manner as he asked her out.

Ava was slightly surprised as she never thought he would ask her out. On other hand, Olive was fuming with anger. Just when she clenched her hand, Mike spoke "I wanted to ask Miss Olive out for the cup of coffee but she felt a little embarrassed. So, I thought inviting a beautiful lady such as yourself would be a good choice."

"And, it would be my utmost pleasure to invite two of the most beautiful lady of the tournament for a coffee."

When Olive heard his words, she slightly opens her fist. Ava giggled after receiving his praise "Mister Mike surely has a sweet tongue. I wonder how many girls have fallen for that tongue."

"Please don't call me mister! It sounds so distant. You can simply call me Mike. As for my sweet tongue, no matter how sweet it might be, it's still useless against a beautiful lady like you." Mike slightly smiled and spoke completely ignoring the crowd that was watching him with their eyes wide open.

"Hehe! Since Mister Mike has invited two beautiful ladies for the cup of coffee, he wouldn't mind me joining the party, would he?" Suddenly, a seductive voice rang.
