GT pills
The two unsuspecting boys, Sink and Bin, found themselves thrust into an unexpected confrontation as they entered the forest. The peculiarly colored fireball hurtled toward them with a furious blaze, catching them off guard.
Reacting swiftly, Sink, with a display of quick thinking, conjured an air shield around them just in time. The fireball collided with the protective barrier, generating a sudden explosion that flung Sink backward and forced Bin to take several steps back, shielded from the full impact.
As the dust cloud settled, revealing the aftermath of the explosive collision, Sink rose to his feet, a mix of surprise and fury etched across his face. Bin, despite the shock, questioned Alex's purported rank. Doubt crept into their minds, challenging the notion that Alex was merely a rank 1.
"Are you sure he's a rank 1, or maybe you're mistaken?" Bin voiced his skepticism.
"I'm sure, and if I get that motherf*cker, I'll kill him," Sink declared, brushing off the dust and rising from the ground.
In the wake of the explosion, Alex capitalized on the obscured vision to employ his stealth skills. Trained in the art of covert movement, he circled behind them unnoticed. His hands, now adorned with protective scales, met the back of Sink's head in a powerful blow, rendering him unconscious.
The system promptly acknowledged the outcome:
[Enemy knocked out]
[50exp received]
[190/200exp]
While Sink lay unconscious, Bin, having rolled away during the explosion, was now aware of Alex's presence. Unfazed by Sink's fate, Bin positioned himself defensively, acknowledging the impending confrontation.
"You sly bastard, you want to pick us off one after another, but you won't get me that easily," Bin declared, readying himself for the impending clash.
"Your friend took the easy way out, but you're choosing the hard way. Fine, I'll give you what you want, especially since you're the ones who came after me," Alex responded, launching a fireball towards Bin and closing the distance between them.
[Alex's MC: 0/20]
The expenditure of Mental Concentration (MC) in his previous attacks left Alex with none to spare. The fireball, a final burst of his available energy, hurtled towards Bin. Unfazed, Bin crossed his arms to form an X, successfully deflecting the fiery onslaught.
In the aftermath, Bin taunted Alex about his depleted MC, criticizing typical rank 1 limitations. However, Alex, undeterred, approached Bin, launching a punch that was deftly caught. A swift counter from Bin, a knee to the face, left Alex momentarily stunned.
[Your nose has been broken]
[-5HP]
[HP: 10/15]
[Healing fractured nose]
Rolling away to create space, Alex recognized Bin's prowess. The battle intensified, with Bin showcasing both speed and combat skills, all without unleashing his hidden ability.
"This guy's strong. He hasn't even used his ability yet, and he's this fast when he strikes," Alex pondered while regaining his footing. As his broken nose healed, he prepared for the escalating duel, fully aware that facing Bin would require more than just agility and speed.
The anticipated clash between Alex and Bin unfolded with breathtaking speed. As Bin vanished from view, Alex's senses heightened, anticipating the swift movements of his adversary. In the blink of an eye, Bin reappeared, wielding a short sword with lethal precision.
Reacting with lightning reflexes, Alex dodged the initial slash, but the sword's tip left a stinging gash along his side.
[ - 2HP ]
[HP: 8/15]
The battle intensified, Alex struggling to keep pace with Bin's relentless speed. Afterimages blurred his vision, making it challenging to predict Bin's next move. The onslaught continued, and with each evasive maneuver, Alex found himself losing precious HP.
'It's not only you who has a trick up their sleeve,' Alex muttered to himself, his determination unwavering. Channeling his newfound abilities, he coated both hands with scales, fashioning a makeshift gauntlet.
In a sudden twist, Bin materialized behind Alex, sword poised to strike. Swiftly relying on his heightened senses, Alex intercepted the blade, crushing it in his scaled grip. The shattered remnants of the basic-tier weapon were flung aside, its feeble resistance no match for Alex's enhanced strength.
Bin, wide-eyed in shock, was met with a forceful kick to the stomach. The impact sent him reeling backward, but Alex, mindful of concealing his deformed hands, executed a backward flip to maintain a strategic distance.
[MC: 20/20]
As Alex landed on the ground, he noted the restoration of his Mental Concentration (MC). It was the opportune moment to bring the skirmish to an end before any unwanted attention could be drawn.
In a swift motion, he conjured two fireballs with the newly replenished MC, preparing to unleash their destructive force. Bin, aware of the imminent danger, formed an X with his hands in anticipation of the impact.
The collision of fireballs against Bin's defenses triggered an explosive eruption. The shockwave sent both combatants hurtling in opposite directions, landing with force on the forest floor.
Alex, quick to recover, stood upright, brushing off the residual effects of the explosion. However, as he surveyed the aftermath, he couldn't help but acknowledge the unexpectedly potent force of the fireballs.
'Ouch, I didn't expect it to be that powerful,' Alex mused, noting his minor injuries. On the other hand, Bin lay on the ground, his condition far more severe. Coughing up blood, his scorched hands, burnt uniform, and injured chest bore the brunt of the fiery onslaught.
The forest bore witness to the aftermath of their intense encounter, and as the echoes of the battle subsided, an eerie silence settled over the secluded realm.
As Alex approached Bin, his body displayed the remarkable healing capabilities granted by the system. The smaller cuts and scrapes almost vanished, a testament to the rapid regeneration he now possessed. However, the wound inflicted by Bin's sword, more substantial and severe, healed at a considerably slower pace. Alex observed this pattern, realizing that the magnitude of the injury directly correlated with the healing speed.
'It looks like the bigger the injury, the slower the healing,' Alex pondered, making a mental note to avoid sustaining more significant injuries in the future.
As he continued his approach, something caught Alex's eye a short distance from Bin. A small object, seemingly ejected during the explosive clash, lay on the ground. Alex bent down to inspect it, and as his eyes widened in surprise, he muttered, 'GT pills.'
The discovery of these pills left Alex in a state of shock, their significance not lost on him. The GT pills, known for their miraculous healing properties, were a valuable
commodity. Understanding the potential implications, Alex's mind raced with possibilities and questions about how Bin came into possession of such a valuable resource.
