BXBX NOVEL Chapter 61: Privacy
"Just like that... I am getting stronger. Remarkably stronger," Arnold muttered with a slight smile.
[No, you are still weak, host. Compared to what you would face in the future.]
[Now, you are just an E-ranked Wrestler to the system.]
"Ah, that\'s an insult, Advocate!"
[I apologize, but I am only the truth, host.]
"You never told me that... An E-ranked Wrestler should be very weak, but I am not," Arnold protested.
[For the Grindhouse wrestlers, you are undoubtedly very strong against them. Like I said, you are way too weak to confront certain challenges in the future if you remain in this state. This is why you are going to obtain Anonymous Skills.
Although the Skill wouldn\'t be revealed until the right time, you would unlock some new status features, and gain extraordinary strength that wouldn\'t only enhance your Attributes\' growth, but your spirit, soul, and willpower.]
[You would be more than just a Human, soaring high and dominating the professional wrestling world...]
[Only if you can do what it takes to achieve it.]
Arnold listened attentively and nodded after the system was finished with its speech.
"So when will I get to see the features in my stats?" He asked curiously.
[When you obtain your first Anonymous Skill. You have 65 points to your Intelligence at the moment, having only 35 points remaining to obtain.]
"Pheww... I am already becoming impatient about this whole Anonymous Skill thing. How long can it take me to obtain thirty-five more points for my Intelligence?" He wondered.
[It only depends on the effort you put into learning more tricks and skills in your fighting. That alone is enough to make a massive increase.]
"That would need a lot of concentration and effort. Nowadays, I could barely even think normally," Arnold said this to himself in a mutter, but as always, the system was all ears.
[That\'s because you have given the required time you should have maintained your privacy to various unreasonable and unhelpful things.]
[You could have friends, but you shouldn\'t let the association hinder your progress. You need absolute privacy to achieve great success. With others meeting up with you and training together, you could get pressured not to aim higher.]
"But I was maintaining my privacy," Arnold became astonished.
[It wasn\'t enough. You need to workout alone at all times... With that, I can give you tips on how to double the progress. I can intervene with the presence of your "friends".]
While every word the system said was criticizing, it still made sense.
If not that he had limited his time with Mark and Lila recently, all that the system said was absolutely true. Mark and Lila were ambitious to improve, for sure, but they still had a different attitude in them.
Arnold felt himself being carried away by their lifestyle after he got to like their friendship. If not for the fact that he is a very ambitious man who wouldn\'t back down from progressing in the pursuit of the success of his career, he would have been lost in living Mark Lila\'s kind of life.
They never trained or practiced hard, which was a core reason for their low growth. No matter how he had tried to show this to them, they couldn\'t just see it.
"Good thing I already gave myself some space. I would see them on weekends, I pursue my career."
Arnold decided with a serious expression.
[Great decision, host. You aren\'t just an ordinary person with the Pro Wrestling System. You have a great ambition, you should work towards it.]
Arnold nodded after this notification. With the system done with its advice, Arnold left the training ring and went back to his room. All those trials and efforts had taken a lot of time, and Arnold was already stunned after coming out to see the twilight in the world.
"I was practicing RKO for hours..."
He shook his head in slight disbelief.
It was a good thing that he had perfected using the finisher, he just couldn\'t wait to use it against an opponent. Unfortunately, Jerry Blaze was clearly going to be the first victim.
\'HAHAHA.\'
Arnold couldn\'t help but laugh inwardly. Having bringing back Jk Styles glory back after so many years was wonderful, the fact that the almost forgotten finisher, RKO would be back was undoubtedly interesting too.
With much-applied efforts in the practices, he believed that no one, at least in Grindhouse Wrestling, would be able to kick out of the move.
Arnold was pretty confident in that.
"After all, only a few men were able to kick out of an RKO back then."

Mia sat alone in the cafeteria of Rising Impact University with a grim look on her face. Her eyes were cold and could be suspected to be a result of anger and sadness.
"After all the promises he made, he screwed it up! He couldn\'t even reply to my messages," Mia was more sad than angry. But no matter how she tried to feel mad, her ever-beautiful face still didn\'t correspond entirely.
With a sigh, she tried to calm down and gulp down a mouthful of juice. It was dark at that moment, a good time she preferred to visit the cafeteria...
While everyone slept, she also preferred to train in the gym house, or even practice several moves. The final-year exam for the fourth-year department was gradually approaching, she didn\'t want to slack in the process.
And it was after a long moment of training and practice that she had come to the cafeteria to have dinner and relax. It was already midnight, but the cafeteria was a 24-hour service meal house.
While she shook her head and contemplated, a sudden beeping on her iPhone 24 Pro Max made her heart almost jump, her eyes widening.
However, what followed that reaction was a hit of excitement, as she grabbed the smartphone and pulled it so close to her face.
(Official_Max_Fury: I\'m so sorry, Mia. I am just seeing this. I have plans to see you tomorrow, I hope you won\'t get mad at me).
Reading the contents of the message, only happiness could be noticed in Mia\'s reaction.
"Oh my gosh... Max Fury is coming to see me!!!"
