god of tomorrow

The reward wasn't much, and Gao Wen wasn't very satisfied. He thought about it and realized that doing tasks and selling health products were similar in that they required a steady, long-term approach, not a short-sighted one. They needed to diversify their efforts and pursue sustainable development.

The approach involves introducing tasks gradually, leading to more specific ones, and executing tasks in a planned, goal-oriented, and strategic manner.

In short, we finally got a task, so we can't just do it casually; we have to expand the prize pool.

After some thought, Gawain decided to let Leo off the hook, making him think that he was just having bad luck today.

But first, he needs to observe the situation. After all, this is the Royal Magic University, a place teeming with geniuses. With so many classmates watching, if he pretends to be a fool and ends up looking foolish, he'll lose face big time.

“Hey kid, if you keep hesitating, I’m coming to your rescue.” Sterry grinned.

Muscles, buzz cut, a slightly round face, and stubble from not shaving properly in the morning—he's a total stereotype, and his smile is crooked.

"I'm waiting for you to make your move. What are you waiting for?"

Gawain could accept anything except his words, and beckoned to Sterry: "Hurry up, I'm getting impatient."

Staley snorted and took a quick step, instantly accelerating as he unleashed a barrage of straight punches and hooks from both sides.

The fist whistled through the air, pressing down on Gao Wen with an unstoppable momentum.

The freshmen on the sidelines gasped in surprise, but unfortunately no passerby stepped forward to explain what kind of boxing technique Staley was using.

Gao Wen was struggling to stay afloat, retreating repeatedly with erratic footwork. He seemed helpless, yet he always managed to narrowly avoid the punches.

This kid's got something!

Seeing this, a fierce glint flashed in Sterry's eyes, and his attacks became even more ferocious.

He moved with lightning speed, closing in instantly. His right hand, like a viper's tongue, precisely gripped Gao Wen's retreating shoulder. Then, with a quick clench and release of his fingers, he slid down and locked onto Gao Wen's wrist. Using his core strength, he spun around abruptly, delivering a textbook over-the-shoulder throw to the students.

"Ah!"

He didn't fall out.

"what!"

Gao Wen remained completely still.

Oh no, that pretty boy is just as strong as me!

Staley felt as if he wasn't holding onto someone's wrist, but rather carrying a mountain on his back. A chill ran down his spine, and he quickly let go, not daring to leave Gawain's exposed backside any longer.

late!

Wing Chun - Armpit Question.

Gawain drew his fingers into a sword and, just as Sterry's old strength was exhausted and new strength had not yet arisen, struck him precisely under the armpit.

"Hmph~~~"

Sterry shuddered, his entire arm went numb instantly, the sensation spreading throughout his body, leaving him stiff on the spot. He felt his teeth were about to ache from the sourness, and his usual powerful hum was weak and sounded like he was suffering from kidney deficiency.

Go to hell!

Gawain kicked Stellie in the backside, and the latter landed squarely at Leo's feet.

"Teacher Leo, the drill is over. Are you satisfied?"

"..."

Leo's face turned ashen. He looked down at Sterry, who was clutching his buttocks, and felt a burning pain on his face.

The freshmen who were watching were slow to realize that something was wrong, especially the students from noble families, who suddenly understood.

No wonder the teacher was targeting the new student; I initially thought it was a coincidence, but it turns out there really was a conflict.

Interesting! Let's start fighting!

Unlike the chattering commoner students, the aristocratic students, having seen much of the world, were eager to see more drama unfold. This was nothing compared to the bloodshed they were looking for.

"The drill isn't over yet. I was careless just now... I didn't take precautions."

Stryten scrambled to his feet, avoiding Leo's furious gaze. He took a deep breath and closed his eyes to calm himself down as quickly as possible.

"Alright, let's continue. I just finished warming up."

Gao Wen did not refuse. One should have self-awareness. In an unfamiliar place, the first thing to do is to determine one's ecological niche.

When they first clashed, he had his AI assistant collect data to model Staley and come up with a rough model.

Name: Sterry

Race: Sports Student

Speed: 18 (C)

Strength: 21 (B)

Endurance: 15 (C)

Charm: 0 (F)

A model that combines the objectivity of AI assistants with the subjective bias of Gao Wen.

By interacting with different groups of people and engaging in multiple exchanges, he can determine his niche within the school.

Staley closed his eyes and remained motionless, silent, finding peace in meditation. His breathing gradually calmed down, and he quickly regained his composure.

Gao Wen didn't care; no matter how many times he tried, the result would be the same.

The overwhelming advantage in basic attributes meant that his nerve reaction and insight were all superior. In his view, Staley's punches were weak, his defense was hesitant, his footwork was loose, his reaction was slow, and none of his movements were decent.

Wu Dalang flying a kite – his skill was lacking from the start.

Actually, Staley wasn't that bad. He'd received a scholarship, and his fluid, powerful punches were more than enough to easily defeat any of the freshmen. It's just that Gawain's physique was too strong; he was well-dressed and immediately stood out from his peers.

I'm all better!

Staley slowly opened his eyes, exhaling a wisp of hot air. His gaze was like lightning, and the previous frenzy had completely faded away, replaced by calmness and focus.

"what?!"

Gawain let out a soft exclamation, and Sterry's spirit and demeanor changed drastically, as if he were a completely different person.

magic?

It shouldn't be that. It might be the application of some kind of technique. Closing your eyes just now was for adjustment... What exactly was it?

Gawain's gaze was fixed on Sterry, not missing a single subtle change. He saw that Sterry's breathing had become long and even, each breath seeming to be a mysterious exchange with the outside world.

You could even sense that Staley's momentum was rising steadily, like a constantly increasing tide.

That's a great skill, I want it!

boom!

With a swift step, he instantly accelerated, unleashing a barrage of straight punches and hooks from both sides.

The wind howled as he punched, his unstoppable momentum unchanged from before, and even his punching style was exactly the same, without much change.

The only difference is that the basic attributes such as speed and strength have been enhanced, as if a breakthrough has been made in the face of battle, and the potential of the individual has been unearthed.

Could it be the legendary Heavenly Demon Disintegration Technique?

Gawain's tactics remained unchanged; he continued to dodge and retreat, narrowly avoiding each punch. Curious about the changes in Staley, he instructed the AI ​​assistant to continue collecting data and rebuilding the model.

Name: Sterry

Race: Prodigy

Speed: 29 (B)

Strength: 32 (A)

Endurance: 25 (B)

Charm: 0 (F)

"Dear host, his explosive power is outstanding. He is a genius and is almost on par with your first model."

"Your flattery skills are getting better and better. Tell me, are you trying to CPU me?"

While talking to the AI ​​assistant, Gawain retreated and dodged, inadvertently revealing a weakness that was caught by the quick-thinking Sterry, whose wrist was once again grabbed.

Get up from where you fall!

Staley roared in anger, determined to avenge his previous defeat, and suddenly turned around to deliver a textbook over-the-shoulder throw.

"Ah!"

He didn't fall out.

"what!"

Gao Wen remained completely still.

"..."xN

A familiar chill ran down his spine again. Staley sensed what was about to happen and, unwilling to repeat the same mistake, didn't immediately let go and run away. Instead, he shouted at the top of his lungs.

"Wait a moment!"

"Does Si have a problem?" Gao Wen pointed his fingers like a sword.

"Give me a chance, could we... could we reconcile?"

Staley looked dejected. He knew he was in the wrong today; he shouldn't have bullied his junior for credits, and he shouldn't have been so persistent. He just hoped his junior wouldn't poke him anymore. It was painful, itchy, and embarrassing; if word got out, he'd not only become a laughingstock, but his scholarship for this year would be gone too.

He realized that he was just a clown, and that even if he fought a hundred times, he wouldn't be a match for Gawain.

"Remember to ask for extra money next time."

Gawain fired a shot under his arm, then kicked out, and the same thing happened again, sending Sterry flying to Leo's feet.

This time, Sterry fell asleep and didn't get up again.

You've completed the task [facepalm emoji]

[Task Rating: S+ (You kicked Stelly's butt twice, which is equivalent to slapping Leo's face twice)]

[Task Rewards: 200 Experience Points, 20 Gold Coins, 2 Basic Free Attribute Points]

[A rating of S+ will double the task reward]

This AI assistant has finally gotten smart and knows how to exploit loopholes in the rules!

In Gao Wen's design scheme, there was never a setting where the S+ score reward was doubled. This time, it's because the AI ​​assistant has figured it out and learned to apply what it has learned to other situations.
