7 CHP 7: Turn Around...

~ The next Day: 6 am in the morning ~

"This... It's higher than I thought..." 

'My stats have increased very quickly... I didn't think I'd grow this fast...' Jacob thought. He had added another inch from yesterday night, having exercised to not waste time since he didn't require rest. That was just for convenience...

He quickly looked at his status page, seeing the changes from training without any rest, and actually attempting to push himself beyond his limits were a lot more than he expected...

'My strength raised to 256kg, and my endurance raised to 9 because of training my strength, and my speed increased to 34mph due to running... Still, to think Daniel's DNA was this effective...' Jacob clenched his fists, feeling the strongest he ever had.

All of this within 2 days. Taken, he absorbed the tiger, but his growth was still phenomenal. And all this was with simple repetition, and his own body weight.

"Looks like I'll need to add weights to my regimen, my growth started to plateau after the 7th hour of training..." He actually expected this...

'The blacklight albeit different from its game variant, and still needs stimulus to grow stronger quickly, and to be fair, I couldn't push myself much due to that very same reason.' Jacob now had weights on his agenda...

"It's still around 6... I'll just watch some old Korean drama in the meantime..."

~ 2 hours later: 8 am in the morning ~

.

'Maybe I should have ran here instead of taking the bus...' He thought, stepping off the bus.

He went straight to class, but he noticed some of the other kids looking at him from afar, not caring much, he moved on...

Continuing, almost arriving at his class he felt his body tense, with his instincts sharpening. He turned around-

*BAM!!!*

"W-What the?" Jacob heard, he looked up, seeing a familiar face, Logan.

'Does this fucker have eyes in the back of his fuckin' head?' Logan thought, he was surprised the shrimp Infront of his had reacted, much less catch his punch...

'So, he came for revenge...' Jacob also assessed. Having gotten stronger, he could handle Logan's hits with relative ease.

Slightly taken aback, Logan used his other fist to swing at Jacob, 'So, slow...' Jacob's eyes watched as Logan's fist went towards his face. He then dodged Logan's punch. Grabbing his arm, and swinging the lug of fat over his shoulder, slamming him into the ground...

'"ARGH!" Logan groaned, coughing up some saliva.

Instantly, Jacob pinned him to the floor, using his right hand, ready to rip out Logan's throat, but he quickly stopped himself...

'Shit...' Jacob thought, annoyed that Logan came up to him like this. However, Logan was the least of his concerns at the moment. In that small instance he genuinely wanted to kill the guy... His memories as the tiger were re-surfacing...

He dismissed the thought, realizing it was too early for a confrontation, but he had to admire the guy's punctuality...

"No, way..."

Jacob heard a student say.

'Double, shit...' He thought.

Instead, not wanting a situation like this to happen again, he lowered his arm, and swiftly grabbed Logan's collar, bringing him up close to his face...

"Listen... I don't want any trouble, Logan... Remember this; if I catch you doing any of your fuckery. I promise that I'll break every bone in your body..." Jacob looked in his eyes, and whispered.

"A-A-Alright! I wont do anythin' anymore, j-just let me go..."

"Good... I'm going to help you up, and after I do, we're both going to go our separate ways... Capiche'?" He added. Logan nodded quickly... Jacob let him go, helping Logan off the floor...

Not looking back, he walked away...

However Logan on the other hand was very confused...

'H-How the hell did he flip me so easily? Hell, how the hell did that guy get so strong!?' Logan stood there for what seemed to be minutes, trying to figure out how that guy changed so suddenly...

'His eyes... His eyes... How were his eyes blood-red... Just what kind of freak, is he?' Logan didn't know why he was this terrified, he felt as if he was talking to some animal rather than the scared puppy he heard about.

Even before he attacked him, he realized that his body was tensing up...

'Fuck!' He thought, looking around to see others looking right at him, equally surprised too. He began sweating profusely, and not wanting to lose face, he roared at them to mind their own business...

The day continued, and Jacob had a relatively safe one. He got some stares throughout it, since he had changed compared to yesterday, and it was hard to hide at this point. In fact, he was sure his plans of staying here would be over much quicker than normal...

'Urghh... Such a drag...' He thought tiredly. 

The bell rang, signaling for school being over...

He quickly got up, heading straight towards daniel's classroom, since it wasnt very far, he even saw the blob of fat up ahead...

"Hey, Dani!" He called out. 

Daniel turned around, seeing his friend, that looked very much different compared to yesterday...

"H-hey?" Daniel responded, genuinely unsure if this was the same person he spoke with yesterday. Not that they didn't look similar, but he was sure he was looking at what he would consider, Jacob's upgrade...

"What's up man? Ready for more, tor-training?" Jacob quickly corrected.

'...Definitely Jacob.' Daniel recognized the grin immediately... Still, he didn't understand how Jacob could change this much in a single night. He was sure Jacob had gotten taller too...

"Ah, yeah, I'm ready..." Daniel nodded, not complaining...

"Good, cause I'm going to stop and order some weighted equipment on the way, so let's go."
