Chapter 48: Getting the hang of skills {1}
When they got to the clinic, they could see the three of them chatting away although not that happily because the previous incident was still fresh in their minds. Immediately Jake opened the door, the rest of the gang turned their heads to see who was coming in. Upon seeing Jake and Vynn, they all smiled all except Sophia that was.
"Hey bro, how are you doing?" Jake asked with a smile on his face.
"I\'m doing well, thanks." Peter answered with a smile. "That beautiful nurse really did a good job. It made me fall in love with her again."
To which they all laughed. "You know, if you stop trying so hard, you will quickly see a girlfriend." Sophia said. "Just act uninterested for once and you will see."
"Like that is gonna happen." Vynn added. "We all know Peter, it is unlikely he will stop trying so hard."
To which they all laughed at Peter\'s expense. They all chat some more before Jake decides to take his leave to head off to the place where he will surely practise to get the hang of his skills and get more experience.
After leaving the clinic, Jake walked away from the building and headed to another building entirely. When entering the building, he could see the shelves full of different games and the capsule pod at the back. Heading to the counter, Jake paid 90 credits for three hours leaving him with a total of just 50 credits.
\'Ah damn! I need to think of how to make money soon other than the allowance given to us by the academy.\' Jake thought while heading off to the Gaming capsule.
When Jake got to the capsule, he got into the capsule and logged in. When Jake logged into the capsule, he was flooded with multiple notifications. "Huh? What is all of this?" Jake thought about checking the notifications one after the other.
It turned out the notifications were all friend requests from different players asking to be Jake\'s friend. "Huh? Why are they suddenly sending me friend requests? What is going on?"
Unknown to Jake, after his match with the shark fighter, the players that were spectating his match, uploaded the video to the online forum therefore gaining Jake quite a number of fans because the Shark fighter was none as the strongest silver player and Jake managed to defeat him hence the friend requests.
Immediately Jake logged in, those on his friend lists, and those that set their game to ping them when the wolf hunter logged in, were now alerted so now, they were all waiting for Jake to start a game so they could witness something awesome again. Quickly swatting away the friend requests, Jake decided to check his system skills to see the one that he will prioritise in learning first before moving onto the next.

After going over the skills over and over again, Jake finally decided to prioritise learning the skill <Step shift> first before moving onto the next skill. After checking everything if it was ready, Jake decided to start his first match for the day by dividing his time as usual into three.
With the first hour battling against werewolves, second hour battling against humans on his rank level and the last hour using the quick search button to match him randomly with human opponents. When Jake was done finalising everything, he decided to start the match by battling with the werewolves.
After clicking on the \'Fight with werewolf\' button, and waiting for a few seconds, a werewolf finally appeared meanwhile the stands were now half filled with spectators that wanted to see Jake perform something awesome again today.
Immediately the werewolf appeared, the big countdown clock appeared again. And when it counted down to 0, the match started with Jake dashing forward.
