27. Bet

"Ha... it's been 4 months since I transmigrated here, if I am not wrong then not long from now the team will be getting the mission regarding the obelisk. Meaning I will also be able to get out of here." Grant said while taking a deep breath.

Other than his Observation Haki, he did train his Armament Haki and Conquerors Haki though he couldn't train them like Observation Haki.

For Armament Haki he had to really focus on it to not fully coat himself in it but only in the small amount where his body won't be covered black like it normally does but instead it would only harden his body so when he spars against Trip, May and Skye they won't find out about his rubber body.

It was really hard for him to control himself in these spars as not only did he had to control the level of his Armament Haki but he also had to control himself to get hit from time to time against his three sparring partners to not get suspicious on how he suddenly became strong after coming out of his cell. Though he let them hit him, he never lost to them. Even against May, he only tied against her never lost but to do even that was tough for him and helped him in controlling his Armament Haki.

For Conquerors Haki, he would release it around him in small amounts making those around him dizzy but not in such force that they would lose consciousness. It helped him control in which direction and where he wanted to release his Conquerors Haki.

*knock knock* "Grant come on, today I am going to win," said Fitz as he knocked on his door.

Grant stopped practicing his rubber powers and walked towards the door opening it and said, "You have been saying that for 3 months now Fitz, and haven't won against me even now,"

"Well today is the day" stated Fitz as he started walking towards the recreational room followed by Ward.

Fitz has once again started to play poker with Ward as a form of treatment but it became a regular thing for the two of them to do but never in these 3 months, Grant has lost against Fitz. No matter how much he tried to cheat Grant always found out about it and beat him.

"Yo Ward, don't forget that we have to spar after this," said Trip as he also entered the recreation room.

"I am not sure why you like to get roughed up Trip but let me tell you it's not a good habit" Grant started with a smile.

"Haha... I know you are good but don't you have too much confidence," Trip said

"Well in these 3 months you haven't beaten me once so it's true that I have confidence but it's warranted don't you think," said Grant

"Man you are really harsh. I hope May knock some sense into you" Trip stated

"Yeah that will only happen when she thoroughly beats me and as you have seen our fights are usually close so there is no guarantee who wins and who losses" replied Grant.

"Yeah, that's because it's a spar and not a real fight otherwise it won't be so close" Fitz added as he passed the deck to Grant who started to shuffle it.

"Wow, you guys think that I was going all out in a spar. I know how much strength I need to use to not completely dominate the spar against May" Grant states as he distributes the card between himself and Fitz

"Oh is that so?" asked Trip

"Yes it is" replied Grant

"If you are that confident then why don't we make a bet" Trip said

"Bet? What type of bet?" asked Grant

"Just a simple bet, if you won against Melinda May by completely dominating her then I lose but if you lost or had a close match against her and then won, it would be you who lost the bet. What do you say simple isn't it?" Trip stated

"Hmm... what would we bet on, I don't have anything to use as a bet" Grant stated

"That's true but I will let you decide what to bet for both of us that will be easy right" Trip said with a smirk.

"Ok then give me a minute," Grant said as he started to think about what to use as a bet when he got an idea.

"So did you think of anything we could use as a bet!" asked Trio after a minute of staying silent

"Yes, the loser will try to hijack Lola, though the winner won't get much out of it, he would get a laugh from it," Grant said

"You want to bring Coulson's Lola into it," Trip said

"Well aren't I facing against May for this bet, shouldn't the loser face someone scarier than" Grant replied

"That's true. Normally May is scary but if you touch Lola then Coulson is much scarier" Fitz added

"So what do you say Trip, are you willing to bet on it?" Grant questioned as he egged Trip

"Fine, I was the one who decided to make a bet and I won't be the one to back down from it" Trip stated

"Good, the loser will hijack Lola tonight as tomorrow Coulson will go on another recruiting trip," Grant said

"I am fine with it," Trip said

"Now, I am going to take care of Fitz here after which we will go to the training room," Grant said

"Yeah it's not going to happen as today is the day you are going to lose," Fitz said

"Sure sure whatever you say," Grant said nodding his head.

After beating Fitz in poker, Grant and Trip entered the training room only to see Skye sparring with May and getting her ass handed to her.

"Looks like may is already warmed up, do you want to warm up before your spar as well," asked Trip

"No, it's fine I am not sure you will follow our bet after I beat you too much. You will have an excuse of the injury from our spar to get away from it"
