Two weeks later after the battle, training became unbearable for Jackie as he faced challenges he never knew he would face.
"Are we done yet?" Jackie says jogging around a field for the 10th time.
"Done, Ha. You gotta be kidding me. You still have 15 more laps to go. Now move, move, move." Henry shouts as he sits on a moving handy robot.
Getting only 3 hours sleep made Jackie to always get ridiculed by his classmates anytime he falls asleep in the class.
Even if Mary was curious of his sudden interest in exercise, he would cover up for his system saying he just wants to get stronger.
Henry, who had his own plan for Jackie, wanted to make sure that he was in perfect shape for the upcoming battle.
He knew he had to train Jackie to be able to withstand and counter Devilklore's dark power.
Although he knew he was going to fight l, he knew he was not going to be there till the end already knowing that they might have already figured out his weakness and how to counter it.
He knew that he was making Jackie's life sufferable but for once, he wanted to be selfish just to take revenge for what his younger brother did.
On another hard afternoon, Jackie decides to confront Henry not knowing what he would know.
"Henry, why do I have to do this, huh. This- this is to much." Jackie says doing a 100 squats under the scorching sun.
"What, aren't you the one that said you wanted to become the strongest person there is. You can't achieve that if you are not hardworking." Henry says obviously not listening to what he's saying.
Jackie stops what he is doing and looks at Henry with confused and suspicious eyes.
"I've never said anything like that. I've never even thought of anything like that." Jackie says with a low tone making Henry to finally hear what he said.
He knows he is caught bit still tries to get away with it. "Well um, you didn't say that, but um, you still have to get um, yes, you still have to get ready for the upcoming tournament." He said beaming, already thinking he has gotten away with it.
Jackie walks to him with every step carrying suspicion with it. "We have never been informed of any tournament whatsoever. What are you acting strange. Although I didn't want to say this, but I've never seen or read about any system that can transform. Systems always help their host to accomplish their goal but everytime I look at you, I feel you have a different goal. Who really are you?"
Jackie says spilling out everything that has been piled up inside him.
He looks at Henry who finally knows that it's time to tell him the truth. He backs him, looking up and sighing, readying to flashback to a painful but uneraseable memory.
"You're right. I'm not actually a system. My name is Lergalint from the world Bonga where darklins lived abundantly." He says remembering his old world and the civilization back then.
"My younger brother, Devilklore took my father's appearance and became his favourite but that didn't really bother me. Suddenly one day, my brother brought the idea of using our advanced technology and our soldiers to conquer other worlds.
I was shocked and immediately rejected the idea being supported by my father." He closes his eyes, clenching his fist tightly feeling the effect of the memory.
"My brother's attitude change towards me from that day onward. He suddenly called me for tea one time and I thought he actually got his sense back. But, I later figured out he poisoned my tea with the most deadliest poison our technology could create.
He left me alone to die as he planned for an invasion to the nearest planet which was Earth. Already knowing I was going to die, I brought out the body sealing box my father gave me and I gave all my magic powers to humans hoping they could survive.
My body disintegrated and my soul was sealed until I could find a light user, and that's when I saw you." He explains from finally turning to Jackie.
"I knew my power wasn't going to be enough since I already lost half of my soul so I tried to train to be able to destroy Devilklore once and for all, but now I see I was only been selfish. I'm sorry I used you and I understand if you want me to leave you alo- " The already crying Henry gets interrupted.
"Who told you I was gonna leave you alone. Because of you, my life has been the best life I could live and you think I would just leave you. Killing Devilklore would be a thank you for what you've done." Jackie says almost in tears.
Henry cleans his tears and shouts in inspiration as Jackie to shouts being fired up by the genuine moment.
They continue training with a threat much worse than that of the queen closing by.
