Chapter 6: Tae Kwon Do Newbie.

"What happens with that reaction before? Are you okay?" The voice came from the exit of the school.

"I'm sorry" I apologize. "I'm not good at being the center of attention" I explained as she approached me.

"So it was that. I guess it was partly my fault for asking you in the middle of the class. Sorry, I didn't knew it" Now she was the one who seemed to feel bad about what had happened before.

"No problem, you couldn't have known" I smiled, "Anyway, count on me to accompany you whenever you need it. I don't have much to do anyway. "

"Thanks Alex. It's very sweet of you, If you ever need anything, you can count on me" That smile between embarrassed and grateful burst in my mind. 'So beautiful'

"Okay, I'll remember that" I replied. "Come on, we will be late" I said and started walking toward our destination.

... ..

After arriving at the gym, we took different paths. She went directly to the training area, while I went to the bathroom to get my basket of handicrafts from me 'Secret Storage'. That's the way i chose to call the place that the system designated as my personal inventory.

I took advantage of the system and spend some points buying clothes to change my school uniform.

Ding!

"You bought 'fashionable shirt' points -1"

Ding!

"You have bought 'Jeans' points -2"

... ..

Upon returning to the main gym, I started offering the "Tin Cats" to people around avoiding being seen by Julia in the process.

After 30 min, all my crafts had been sold, and that was so easy! $ 1000 added to my profits, 'I'm Rich!' Scream in my mind '

A lady who was waiting for her son bought from me each and every one, and even asked me to do 20 more!

Apparently she had a party planned soon and wanted the 'Tin Cats' to be gifted as a souvenir.

Ding!

"Principal Mission Completed – Reward Exp +10, Points +2"

Ding!

"You raised 1 Lvl"

Ding!

"Reward for leveling up = Points +10"

Ding!

"New main mission; Enroll in one of the gym activities. Rewards = Exp +10, Points +2 "

'Finally something that has nothing to do with the craft sales! However … this new mission will be even more difficult' I thought 'I'd better take care of the lady's business first'

"Wait a moment while I go to search more at home" I lied and then ran to the bathroom once more, to buy the materials needed to create 20 more crafts with the help of the new function of the system.

I didn't like to make people wait me for long, so, in less than 10 minutes I was already with that woman again, exchanging the "Tin Cats" for the incredible sum of $ 2000! That along with the $ 1000 of before added $3000 in a single sale! Discounting the materials I had to buy and the money I spent on food, my total savings amounted to $ 3760! I had never seen so much money together.

"Hahaha" I couldn't help but laugh as a greedy maniac when doing the accounts, which caused people around me to look as if I were crazy.

"Hey you, shut up! You are interrupting our training" a reproachful voice came from the nearby training area.

"I'm sorry" I was quick to apologize when I saw that it was the TaeKownDo teacher who had spoken to previously.

After hearing my words, he just turned his gaze back to his students.

'I could try entering the TaeKownDo club or the boxing club,' I thought. 'After all, it never hurts to know something of self defense, it could be useful someday'

It took me about half an hour to decide, but finally I chose the TaeKwonDo. It was a style that is based on kicks and having long legs, these would become an advantage for me.

I waited for the training to end, to approach the teacher. Julia had already finished her practice and was in the locker room at that time.

"Excuse me, sir, can I ask you a question?" I said shyly.

He was tall and corpulent, quite intimidating. He looked down at me when he answered.

"You're the one from before, what do you need?" Apparently he was not in a good mood, since he gave me an annoyed look. 'Maybe I really interrupted the training before' I thought,

"I was wondering … I was wondering if it would be possible for me to join your practice" I finally said.

"With that introverted personality? You're dreaming boy" he scoffed. (E/N: you got anything against introverts Pal! Fight me! (*^*) ) "You better try rhythmic gymnastics class, that would be more suitable for you" he said as he walked away laughing at me.

'Damn! Was it necessary for you to mock me in that way? What kind of shitty teacher you are!' I Hate that guy and his attitude. Who the hell was he to tell me all that? But I also hated myself, because deep down I knew that his words were not completely wrong.

'I must improve if I don't want to be treated like that again, I must stop being a coward and face my problems!' At that moment, my determination grew by leaps and bounds.

'System, Open the store and show me what skills I can buy right now' I said in my mind. A system window appeared in front of me.

...

'System, is there any way to know the TaeKownDo Lvl in which the coach is located?' Ask mentally.

"The system saves information about each person the host comes in contact with" a screen with Tae Kown Do teacher statistics appeared in front of my eyes.

'Only level 4, it isn't as high as I expected, apparently the black belt isn't the peak stage that someone can achieve training martial arts' I was somewhat surprised by this discovery. 'Ok, let's do this'

"System. I want to buy the skill 'Tae Kown Do' and Lvl it up as much as I can with my current points "

"You have acquired the skill 'TaeKwonDo Lvl 6"

A lot of information, techniques and movements went directly into my brain at that moment, causing me a slight headache that lasted for a few seconds.

Ding!

"New secondary mission: Participate in the next Mixed Martial Arts tournament which will be within 3 weeks. The reward will be equivalent to the position reached by the host in said tournament"

Now I had the system, and I was going to take advantage of it to change the way the world saw me … to change the way I saw myself.
