Author note: sorry for the late update, bonus chapters for the compensation. Lexstorm loves you
[Ah, master, the moon is shining bright, a late night moonwalk would suit this atmoshpere.]
`You're right. A moonwalk.'
Alvin ran towards the Benders building and gently tapped on the window next to Rita.
Rita woke up from the sound and was surprised to see Alvin.
"Wow, moon is so beautiful, no accessory needed." Alvin said.
Rita chuckled and held Alvin's hand, "Alvin, how are you so strong?, you defeated blazer, gladiator and the sliver knight."
"My dad gave me a ancrestal relic that fused with my core stone. That why i'm really powerful and strong."
"Why do i have the feeling you are telling me a lie?" Rita asked.
"No, no, i could never lie to you." Alvin said
"Since when i was born, everyone has been treating me like a fragile glass. My mom told boys in my high school to always protect me. I had to switch to another high school."
"Your mom is just trying to protect you."
Rita stared at him for a while and then said, "Let me guess she told you too. So that why, you have been so nice to me."
"No, no, no, it not because of that. Well, it kinda." Alvin said.
"You are just like them. I thought you were different." Rita said walking away.
Alvin held her hand, "Rita, i'm sorry. Though your mom told me to protect you, but i....."
"Don't come close to me again." Rita said walking away.
"Great, just great, i am a dumbass. She just think i'm like Miles or anyone other boy."
[Master, you could try confessing your love for her.]
`Radien, has much as i like you. That plan is never going to work. Let me just give up on her.'
**************
When the alarm woke Alvin, he thought it was in the middle of the night.
`Next time, i'm never going to say 5 AM'
`Active reward spin'

Alvin sneaked through the window and ran towards the lake he iced some days ago. Which had already melted.
`Radien, how do i upgrade a skill?'
No answer, only the sound of the gentle wave tapping against the wood on shore.
`What wrong now?'
Alvin looked around his surrounding for either Lucas or Dracula.
But he found none of them, `Did i mute Radien.'
`Unmute'
But still no reply, just then a notification popped up,
{Boosting......}
[Wow, woah. Hey dude, did you missed me.]
`Fang, where have you been?'
[Somewhere in the middle of nowhere and somewhere. I caught all of your fighting scenes, especially the one with that proud knight. I'm so proud]
`How do you know all of that?'
[Lets just say i do. Now lets get back to the question you were asking.]
`Yeah, how do i upgrade a skill?'
[Simply, just think about the skill and the upgrade button will pop up.]

`500 uric, wow that expensive.'

`Woah, woah, woah, i can't do this now. Next pls'
{1. Punch a hole in a tree}
Reward: Strength +5
`Punch a hole, this shouldn't be hard. I will just active my spirit palms.'
[Wait, wait, wait, you can't do that. It like using a cheat item to take a shortcut to win in a cheat game.]
`Shouldn't be that hard.'
Alvin ran towards a tree and punched it. The leaves fell off, but it didn't even make a scratch on the tree.
He started hitting it angrily, Alvin looked at his bruised knuckles.
But he continued punching, the bark of the tree began to fall off.
Alvin furrowed his eyebrows as he remembered what Rita said last night.
Angrily, Alvin punched the tree and instead of a hole, the tree fell down.
There was a giant hole in the tree, Alvin right hand was broken and bruised.
[I think i will have to teach you how to control anger.]
{1. Punch a hole in a tree complete}
Reward: Strength +5
`So the last one, time to do this.'
`Active....'
"The sound came from here." A voice said heading towards Alvin.
`Active invisibility pill'
"Are you sure, you heard a sound." Another voice asked.
Three guards came out from the bushes and saw the fallen tree.
"Ah, ah, explain this?" The first guard asked.
The third one squatted and touched the hole and said, " This hole wasn't made by an ordinary person. It might be either the vampires or the beasts."
The second one said, "We have to warn the Captain."
[Alvin, you know if they get to the campground before you do, Captain Wayne is going to call an assembly and if she found out you are not there. You are busted.]
`Active gale steps'
{Error, no item in the store that correspond to the name.}
[Oh i forgot to tell you, once you upgrade an item, the name will change.]
`So what the name?'
[I don't know, give it one that it's in line with speed.]
`Okay, phantom steps'
As, he said the name, he zoomed through the forest like a lightning bolt.
He zoomed past trees and hills. Soon he was at the campground.
Sneaking back into his bed, he had a few minutes to rest before an assembly was called.
****************
"Good morning great warriors. Today is the last day of the Battle for gold." Captain Wayne said as everyone cheered.
"Today is going to be a tough day, you are looking for a golden cylinder. Here a riddle to find it, where the sun glitters on stone like gold, a thunderous roar that shivers a warrior. Only a brave heart could unlock the door to the golden cylinder."
"You have 30 minutes to prepare."
"We have to attack Alvin first, once he's gone, the Slayers team fall." Miles told his team members.
Alvin ran towards the Benders group and dragged Tonya hand.
"Tonya, have you seen Rita today?" Alvin asked.
"No, but yesterday, she went out and when she came back she was sad. When i asked her, she just pushed me away."
"Miles, Miles, Miles." An harpy boy wearing the Benders uniform ran towards him.
"Why are you calling me like i'm your mama?" Miles asked teased.
"Miles, i saw Alvin talking to Tonya about Rita. I think both of them are fighting." The harpy said.
"This is my chance, where is she?"
"I think she is the gym."
***************
Alvin ran towards the gym after someone told him Rita was there.
He opened the door but stopped in his tracks when he saw Miles hugging Rita affectionately.
************
10 minutes earlier
"Woah, woah, Rita, slow down. If you keep doing this, i you will hurt yourself." Miles told Rita as she kept punching a punching bag.
"Oh Miles, i just got to clear my mind."
"I know it's not everyday, who get to know that the person you call friend, was just pretending to be close to you, because of your mom's wealth."
"I thought Alvin was different."
"You know i'm always here for you." Miles said placing his hand on Rita's.
Rita couldn't hold back anymore she hugged Miles tightly, silently shedding tears.
Just then Alvin walked into the room and saw them.
[Oh, oh, this is what happens when you lied to your crush]
`This is my fault.'
Alvin walked out of the room and jammed the door hard.
"Miles, who was that?"
"I think it was Alvin." Miles said.
"Alvin?, it must be time for the battle."
