Chapter 26: Training

The next plan is to awaken his cat puppet super ability. He will realize this plan tomorrow. For now, it is his leisure time before the seven o'clock training session tonight. To ease his mental burden a little, Jono rested and slept for a while.

At exactly seven o'clock in the evening, Jono began practicing again. He kept practicing until late at night. He sat on the sofa, exhausted after training.

While relaxing on the sofa in his living room, Jono summed up some important points about his super ability. The first important point is the process of using his super ability, specifically in the creation of puppets. He divided his puppets into two categories. There are two categories of puppets: special puppets and ordinary puppets.

These are ordinary puppets, which Jono intended to sell as additional income. Aside from the limited number of puppets that he can control, the cost of creating puppets such as his special puppet is prohibitively expensive for him. As a result, He determined that selling these ordinary puppets would be more profitable.

In addition to having a limited number of puppets that can be controlled, Jono also has a limit to how many times he can awaken his puppet's super abilities. At this power level in the second stage alone, he could only awaken three puppets. Therefore, he decided to focus more on the three puppets that he could control and that could awaken their super abilities. That's why he called this puppet a "special puppet."

Jono referred to these special puppets as "personal special puppets." These are special puppets, and he will awaken their super abilities. Currently, he has three special puppets: an ape puppet, a butterfly puppet, and a cat puppet.

The ape puppet has awakened its super ability, which is the super ability to control gravity. His ape puppet's first innate skill was named "gravitational field."

The butterfly puppet has also awakened its super ability. That is the super ability that can change shape into other creatures, also known as the shape-shifting ability. Tita's first innate skill was what he called a "super ability imitator."

Only the cat puppet has not yet awakened its super ability. This is Jono's top priority for tomorrow.

The next day, Jono went shopping to get some materials to awaken his cat puppet's super ability. After all the materials to awaken his cat puppet super ability were ready, he immediately started the activity of awakening his cat puppet super ability.

Jono will awaken his cat's super ability by making his cat puppet absorb third-stage beasts' magic energy and carcasses. After the cat puppet has awakened its super ability, the cat puppet will have a power level equivalent to a beast in the third stage of the first phase.

He purchased three third-stage beasts, believing that this would be sufficient to awaken the super ability of his cat puppet. Jono then killed the three beasts one by one, controlling his cat puppet to absorb the beasts' energy and carcasses.

After Jono succeeded in carrying out his plan, now his cat puppet has awakened its super ability. The cat puppet is now approximately 25 cm long, excluding the length of the tail. The cat puppet is now mostly grayish-black, with a gray head, black tips on all four legs, and a long gray-gradient tail. This cat puppet has large pupils that are light blue.

Jono then tries to use his cat puppet's super ability by inserting his cat puppet into his Abs space. This way, Jono will understand the super abilities of his cat puppet faster. After the cat doll entered his Abs-space, Jono felt his brain flooded with a lot of information about the super abilities of his cat puppet. For a brief moment, Jono felt dizzy.

After calming down and processing the information he received, Jono then began to understand the super ability of his cat puppet. The cat puppet possesses a super ability that relates to shadows. The cat puppet has the elemental type of darkness and space.

When Jono inserts his cat puppet into his Abs-space and uses the cat puppet's super ability, he realizes that he is more like a body transformation-beast type with the "Shadow" ability than the unique ability he thought he possessed. But some people would say that he was an element controller who was skilled with the elements of darkness and space because some element controllers with the elemental type of darkness could also have the ability to control shadows.

When Jono uses his cat puppet super ability, several parts of his body are covered with thick and long dark black hair; his ears are slightly tapered like cat ears; and his eyes turn dark with light blue pupils, just like his cat puppet. This transformation marked him as a body transformer. The name of this beast's transformation is Night Cat.

The super ability of this cat puppet will be more effective when used in a dark environment or at night. During the day or in a bright place, the strength or power level will drop by one stage, and in the dark place, it will increase by one stage from the original power level.

This means that during the day, this super ability is only equivalent to the second-stage level ability, and at night it will be at the fourth-stage level. This way, Jono will only use his cat puppet at night to maximize the advantages of this cat puppet's super ability.

This shadow ability currently has one innate skill that allows it to hide in the shadows for a specified time. It would not be detected by others while hiding in a shadow if that other person did not have a power level much higher than the cat puppet's power level.

Jono called this innate ability "shadow hide." He named his cat puppet's innate skill like that because this innate skill is indeed more useful for hiding.

"Exceptional ability."

"I currently have the super ability of an element controller, a body transformer, and a unique."

"My cat puppet, from now on, I'll call you Smokie," Jono said happily. He then pondered the future, unsure of what he would do.

After resting for a long time on his sofa, Jono took a shower and then slept for a while. He awoke in the late afternoon and glanced at his smartwatch to see what time it was.

While lying on his bed, Jono ordered some food online to be delivered to his apartment. After the food he ordered arrived, he immediately devoured his food while watching several TV shows on the large TV screen in his living room.

This television is connected to the internet so that Jono can search for some videos that he wants to watch in addition to the official schedule of their respective TV channels. He watched videos of several martial arts matches. Battles between people of equal power level are the most exciting matches in today's world.

Jono's TV screen is showing a fight between two men with power levels in the fifth stage. Even though this is not a live broadcast, he is still interested in watching this fight because it involves two people with identical super abilities.

The two of them who were fighting had the super ability to control the fire element. One of the men is armed with a sword, while the other is armed with a spear. Their swords and spears were both covered in flames. This is a fighting style for elemental controllers who are experienced in close combat.

Jono's eyes always look at the video of the fight as long as he finishes his food. The fight between the two men lasts about ten minutes and is won by the man with the spear.

"Interesting battle," said Jono, somewhat interested in the spear weapon used by one of the men in the battle.

"Many old proverbs proclaim that the spear is the king of all weapons."

"Maybe there is a reason for that," Jono speculated, looking for some videos of people using spears again.

Jono watched quite a lot of videos of fights between people who used various weapons. All the fighting videos that he watched were of the close-combat type because he was more interested in this type of fight.

After the time showed seven o'clock in the evening, Jono prepared to practice again. This time, he is more focused on honing martial arts movements according to several free videos about basic martial arts movements for fighting.

Jono will continue to practice martial arts moves and skills while using his super ability and the super abilities of his special puppets over the next few days. At that moment, he realized that he still needed a lot of practice to improve his close combat fighting skills.

The first day of school is approaching. Jono wishes to prepare himself as much as possible before the start of school. The more brilliant he appears to be at school, the more benefits he will receive.
