"Oi kid this is my property. You better not be trespassing or trying to steal anything" called out a voice as Adam was about to enter the dojo.

Adam was shocked.

Even his senses didn't pick up o anybody inside the dojo, yet he was clearly seen by somebody else.

[Maybe I have struck gold and I might be able to gain an awesome Master like in all those novels] thought Adam to himself optimistically.

"I would like to join your dojo" declared Adam formally and respectfully, hoping to leave a good impression.

"Stop being such a weirdo and come inside then. And don't be speaking like those posh brats" answered the voice.

Adam was shocked by the rustic and careless nature of the person in the dojo and was curious to see whether he was capable or not, but before he entered he had something to ask the system.

[System, Is it possible for others to see through my current strength as Elizabeth assumed that I was a third rank Novice, which was wrong] asked Adam within his mind, not wanting people to be able to see through his strength, including the man in the dojo that he was yet to come across.

{The host has subconsciously been able to sense and gauge the power of the opponent, without there being a status, from the aura around the opponent. Auras can be used to estimate the strength level as the stronger and denser the aura, the more energy can be found within the body of the opponent.

Currently, the host is subconsciously retracting their aura with the Hunter's mind assisting the host, and it will be hard for others to gauge the host's strength, however, it isn't impossible. To increase the host's ability to read others' aura and conceal your own aura, the host should increase the intelligence stat which increases the host's control over their energy and ability to wield energy. While the host can also gain mastery on both of them separately.

Elizabeth came to the conclusion about the host's rank from who the host was capable of defeating, but she herself had no exact idea of what the host's cultivation level actually was. However, her estimations were off and the host cannot be classed in the same way as other cultivators as the host cultivates both Internally and Externally and the host gains an additional stat point after each LVL.

Therefore the amount of energy that the host is emanating is double or more that of what the host's level really is} explained the system.

With the system's explaination, Adam had another thing he needed to spend System Points on to master.

But he was also reminded of the difference between him and other cultivators.

Walking into the dojo there were all kinds of weapons on walls and an open central area.

The entire dojo was one large hall-like room with a short stubby and chubby man sat in the corner.

Adam had many ideas of what a martial arts or fighting trainer would look like, and that man didn't match any of them.

He was overweight, short, old and seemingly weak.

Trying to gauge the strength of the man, by attempting to read his aura, Adam couldn't sense anything.

[This could either mean he is ordinary and is just spouting nonsense. Or he is much more powerful than me and I can't sense his aura because of that gap in strength] thought Adam to himself.

Still deciding to be respectful and humble, Adam took off his shoes at the entrance and sat before the man who lay against the wall in the corner of the room.

"What do you want kid," asked the man as he scanned Adam's body.

"I want to join your dojo" repeated Adam.

"I already know that idiot. But what do you want to gain from joining my dojo" scolded the man.

Ignoring the disrespectful tone of the man who had a weird accent, Adam began thinking to himself what he wanted to gain from joining the dojo.

"I want strength and skill" answered Adam honestly.

"And what are your aims with the strength and skill that you may be able of gaining in this dojo" enquired the man.

"I wish to protect myself, my friends and my family and I also want to be the strongest. This world is all based around survival of the fittest in all situations and I want to be at the top of that chain" stated Adam thoughtfully.

Adam at the time didn't realise it, but after experiencing the real world, he realised that even when he was in school or was working it was always survival of the fittest.

In school, the weak or stupid suck up to the strong or smart, who either believed they were above everyone else or abused their strength, while in the world of work, only the strong or qualified were employed while others are left to do the lower-paid jobs that were also worse to do.

However it didn't stop there and continued with statuses and wealth that different job roles and family names gave, and the gap between those at the top and the bottom only continued to grow.

"Hmmm, interesting. And my final question to you is what do I gain from teaching you" stated the weird man, almost as if interviewing Adam for a job role.

"You will gain an ally that in the future will be extremely powerful and will return the favour" answered Adam.

"Well, that is if you actually can teach me" added Adam.

"You dare to underestimate me. I will show you true strength" declared the man arrogantly as he stood up and wobbled towards the centre of the room.

"Show me what you got kid," he said to Adam as he stood in the centre with his arms behind his back.

"I won't be gentle just because your an old man so watch your back" warned Adam as he stood up and stood opposite the man with a 5-metre gap between them.

"He, I will teach you why I am the boss" scoffed the man arrogantly as he signalled for Adam to attack.
