Chapter 26 - Virtual Training Facility (1/2)

For the next couple of days, life went on normally. With the ability to use their cultivation skills on cooldown and both boys seemingly coming to a standstill in their training, boredom slowly seeped in. With both their parents allowing them to ”self-train,” Cynrik and Brance found themselves prepping a sparring session in the backyard of their humble home, unsupervised.

Cinyah and Rikard had gone off to a newly opened Red Egress, leaving the two at home alone, which caused Cinyah a great deal of anxiety. But Rikard brought up the family finances forcing her to yield and allow the two to stay at home on the grounds they didn't leave the house or backyard.

This caused a great deal of excitement in the two young children as they would finally not have to hide their physical training from their parents, and they could ”beat the hell” out of each other in the backyard till their little hearts were content.

{Ok, hand to hand with limited use of elements…agreed?} Taking a defensive stance several feet away from Brance, Cynrik stated in their mind link.

Taking his stance facing Cynrik, Brance nodded, agreeing to the terms.

{Alright, Tobs set a countdown for 10 seconds for both of us.} Cynrik loosened up his left shoulder then threw out a couple of swift punches to warm up.

-Acknowledged, Timer set for 10 seconds-

Across from Cynrik, Brance was rapid firing a few kicks into the air.

-10-

Clenching both his fists tightly, Cynriks knuckles all popped one after another.

-09-

Lowering his left leg, Brance slowly exhaled and made Eye contact with his brother. He was pretty excited to have his first official sparring session in the world of Vinestra. Up until now, they had only worked on their Mana control and Affinity manipulations while also completing their Daily Quests. This was the first time they were putting the physical workouts with their stats to the test.

-08-

Back on Earth, even into their adulthood, the brothers would spend countless hours sparring in one of their respective garages or in the mixed martial arts gym they used to frequent. It had been several years since then, so both were itching to fight.

-07-

'Brance will charge forward off the gun before kicking with his right leg and dropping into southpaw before peppering out light right-hand jabs, that or he will bank right before attacking.' Cynrik started running scenarios based on the thousands of fights he had under his belt with his brother.

-06-

'Cynrik's going to try baiting me in by blocking any jabs or front kicks I toss his way, so it's best to charge forward and bounce to the right. He'll be expecting a frontal assault, so if I attack from the right-wing, I should be able to land some attacks before having to backtrack.' Much like his older brother, Brance was running last-second simulations.

-05-

-04-

Both boys finished their simulations and decided on their fight plans as the counter ticked down. Being so well versed in each other's combat style, they had a good understanding of how the other would lead the fight. After that, it was all about counter-attacks and reaction speed.

-03-

Cynrik broke into a wide grin, and his eyes narrowed slightly as he watched the timer tick down in his peripheral vision.

-02-

Brance slowly tapped his right foot on the ground, placing his weight on the balls of his feet, readying himself for a dash.

-01-

Cynrik noticing his bother's last-minute adjustments, prepped himself for a dash as well, his goal being to take out Brance's lead leg before taking the fight to the ground. While Brance was significantly more adept at striking, he was the grappler in the family. His goal instantly went from defending and counter-attacking to a sudden rush in for a takedown.

-Timer Canceled, New Event Quest Triggered-

Tobs's voice screeched into the brothers' ears, causing them to almost fall flat on their faces. They both glared at the new notification and yelled in sync, ”WHAT THE FUCK TOBS!”

-The Gods Odin and Yahweh have decided to trigger a new Benefit for both Hosts of The Over-Break System-

-New Event Quest, Virtual Training Facility -

-Currently using Both Hosts memories to create an adequate training facility-

Cynrik's eyes went wide, and his mouth hung open before making eye contact with Brance.{ Oh, Shit…no way, NO WAY DON'T TELL ME…..} Cynrik went from fighter mode to giddy child almost instantly, squirming in one spot like he had to pee.
