Pro Wrestling System

"Crazy healing..."

Arnold couldn\'t help but comment. He already knew that something like this was strange and crazy, but what could he do than accept the unbelievable fact?

It was his system, and he was the only one who could believe it because he was the one who had experienced it.

Arnold had plans to practice Hardcore Wrestling today, even though he only learned a few things for a start. However, he had decided to apologize to his friends, perhaps they could just let it slide and be back with him again.

After getting himself prepared and cladded in a blue shirt and black trousers, Arnold left his room and approached Mark\'s room first.

Mark\'s room was in the same building as Arnold\'s as they were both male wrestlers in the men\'s division. But Lila was an entirely different building, though close.

It wasn\'t as if he liked Mark the most; he was only approaching because he was "bro" which would actually mean that he was likely to understand and accept the apology.

If Mark forgives Arnold, then Lila wouldn\'t hesitate too much before doing so too.

This was the logic had in mind, although he had doubts... Doubts that seem to fade but reappear after a second.

Deep in the corner of his mind, he was afraid that his friends would never come back to him. He felt somewhat guilty for making them feel so inferior, and he guessed they would choose to stay away to prevent more shame.

\'If they didn\'t forgive me, I would never forgive you, system!\'

Arnold said this out of anger, and the system didn\'t mind responding after clearly noticing that this threat didn\'t go deep into its host\'s heart.

Arnold was only mad and nervous at that time, which had made him say those words recklessly, but he was still mindless.

When he got to Mark\'s room...

[Room 56: Bobby Crimson.]

Arnold\'s face turned dark.

Arnold\'s room was locked...

He was away.

It took Arnold a while to think, but no matter how he tried, he found it hard to figure out where Mark could be...

No, there was a thought that came to his mind, which was clear that he actually figured something out...

\'Lila\'s room. Yeah, he must have been there...\'

It wasn\'t so early in the morning anymore, so he guessed Mark would have gone to see her. He also guessed that maybe he was out for breakfast, which was likely possible that Lila would be away as well.

He decided to go to Lila\'s room to confirm first, and to his slightest surprise, Lila was away as well. It was now that he got convinced to check them up at the cafeteria

He stood outside the boarding and heaved a sigh, holding his waist with bold hands.

Arnold only hoped things wouldn\'t turn out bad after his efforts... He was doing his best to get them back.

And when he does, he would make sure to make them feel the same around him. Most importantly, he had promised to teach them the techniques that they could use to improve their physical fitness quickly.

Although they wouldn\'t be gaining the aid of the Pro Wrestling System, their progress was sure to be better than most wrestlers if they could be focused... And hardworking.

Arnold approached the cafeteria and walked in. He scanned the area immediately after his entry, but he unfortunately saw no one.

There were only three sets of people in three different tables. A young wrestler named Edon Nox, two female wrestlers, Emma and Tilda, and three male wrestlers who were only having beers at a corner.

Amongst these people, Neither Mark nor Lila could be spotted. There was no trace of them, nor even a shadow.

Arnold glared and clenched his fist in frustration. It was just as though a stone had been smashed against his chest, causing only deep, frustrating pain.

With a grim look on his face, he sighed and walked away.

"Aren\'t you having some meal, mister?!"

The voice of the cafeteria attendant called from behind, but due to the sadness lurking in Arnold\'s mind, he couldn\'t let out a reply.

His vibrant eyes had become dull, faint glints all over.

However...

There was a slight brightness that emerged from nowhere after another guess came flooding in.

Arnold bit his lip and scratched the back of his head.

"I should go check the gym... Perhaps they might have gone to workout," he muttered to himself.

And with this said, Arnold changed direction and made his way to the gym house. The regular gym house they preferred to train when they were together.

Fortunately for him, Arnold\'s face brightened the more when he arrived at the gym house. Mark and Lila could seen at one corner of the room training hard with sweat covering their faces, wetting up their clothes.

It was as though these two figures were committing their life to the training, as though they wouldn\'t stop... No resting space.

His first reaction was a smile after seeing this, despite the fact that he owed this duo an apology.

A certain thought flashed into his mind.

\'Although they had felt inferior around me, they didn\'t let that ruin their ambition. They had increased the rate of their training too, that\'s good a spirit.\'

[Yes, host. I sensed a change.]

Not only Arnold was amazed, but the system too.

This made Arnold\'s smile widen the more, seeing that his Advocate already saw the sudden potential in his friends...

Without hesitation, Arnold sighed and walked into the gym. Mark and Lila noticed his presence just after his entry, and this caused a slight distraction in their training.

But at least... Nothing crazy happened.

Arnold walked straight to Mark and looked him in the face with a sincere apologetic gaze.

"I... I have been mad at myself for acting cold towards you guys. I apologize, friends," Arnold spoke.

However, only what he got as a response was utter silence.

He swallowed nervously again.

Everything seemed to have been getting bad!

Silence...

Cold stares...

Glares...

Then, in the next minute, taking Arnold by surprise.

A female voice spoke from the side, drawing Arnold\'s attention and stunning him.

"As for me, Lila. I forgive you."
