Pro Wrestling System

Chapter 46: Learning



Chapter 46: Learning

It was certain that Matthew was a cool, humble guy. Not only had Arnold noticed it, but he had heard stories about "Matthew Bridges", the new star who had been making a great impact in the Legacy Amateur Wrestling show.

Since his debut in Legacy Amateur Wrestling, he had not been playing against the fans just as Arnold (Max Fury) had been doing. Thus, not only had he been making a great impact in his match performances, but his fame was also a result of the Legacy Amateur Wrestling universe's love for him.

Well, just like Max Fury.

Agreeing to teach Arnold how to drive a car, they both ate their meal delightedly and rested for a while. When they came out of the sitting room, the officials already thought they were about to leave...

"About to leave, sirs?" A man in a brown suit asked. He appeared to be one of the officials taking care of their affairs.

"No, not yet. We would leave by nightfall," Matthew turned to Arnold to see his reaction. However, Arnold only nodded with a smile, showing that he was fully in support of his decision.

After all, he was the one behind the decision.

"We need that same car we had used in the commercial shooting. Can you spare us a few hours to use it, please?" Matthew asked.

"Sure, Mr. Matthew. I will go get the car keys," the official said and left for a different room.

Arnold and Matthew waited for a few minutes before the official brought out the keys and handed them over to them.

"Here," he muttered.

"Thank you," Matthew thanked and gestured to Arnold that they should be out to the road grounds.

They both stepped out to the vast building through the back exit which was leading to the road grounds. The Range Rover Evoque they were to use was packed somewhere in a lonesome garage close to the starting lane of the road.

In a rush, both men approached it and swung themselves in. However, just as they entered the car, Matthew didn't start the engine yet.

"Tell me, Max. Why did you give yourself such a ring name?" Matthew asked politely and curiously.

Arnold flinched for a second, wondering why he wanted to know. But after hesitating for a while, he decided to let it out.

"Max Fury simply means a passion for success and domination at the max level. I mean on a higher level. I aim to dominate the professional wrestling industry, so I know this ring name would fit my ambition," Arnold explained.

"Hahaha! That's crazy, you know?" Matthew almost laughed like a madman.

"Yeah, I know," Arnold replied with a smirk.

"So, what about you? What's behind your ring name, Matthew Bridges???" Arnold decided to avenge his question.

It didn't take Matthew a second before he gave a reply. With his casual form of speech, it was clear that he had no reason to hide it. After all, no one would hide the meaning behind their ring names.

"It's my father's name. I'm Kevin Bridges, but I chose to use my father's name for my professional wrestling career. He is dead though, but he was the only reason I am here today as a professional wrestling star," Matthew said, a serious look on his face.

"I understand, friend. I'm Arnold Gallagher by the way," he said.

"Arnold Gallagher... Nice name," Matthew said. "Now let's start this shit!" He switched his attention to the car and joked.

"Here we go," Arnold responded and also stared forward.

Soon, Matthew inserted the key to the ignition switch, and the car engine was powered up in an instant. Then, Matthew turned to look at Arnold and began his teachings.

"First of all, you have to learn the simple basics of driving, which is learning how to start and stop the car."

Matthew made sure everything in the car was working perfectly before he began, so, they didn't have to worry about unnecessary accidents in such a safe, quiet place.

At first, Arnold was taught how to start and stop a car, which he learned at the first trials. It amazed Matthew, but it wasn't as if he didn't expect much from someone as smart as Arnold. No doubt, Arnold was a genius, and there's no way this could look too strange.

At least, the stress wouldn't be too much for Matthew, the teacher.

In no time, they had progressed quite far in learning. Arnold had been taught how to accelerate, turn, and hold on to brakes as soon as possible in a sudden incident.

He had also been taught how to drive through roundabouts and four-way junctions, which he learned so fast without so much stress. Matthew never regretted accepting to teach him as they had already made huge progress before nighttime.

He only advised Arnold to continue practicing to perfect his skills.

Meanwhile, Arnold who had been learning to do so quickly without too much misunderstanding shrugged in shock.

'Ah... Normal people learn how to drive a car in a matter of weeks, and here I am learning it completely in a few hours!'

[It's so good that you have discovered that you are no longer a normal person.]

The system suddenly sounded in Arnold's head, making him freeze.

'Of course, I know. I am no longer normal. You have made me a monster.'

Arnold smirked and continued practicing, driving and turning to different corners, amazing Matthew. At a point, it was already looking like he had become even more perfect than Matthew.

With glints of astonishment lurking around the corners of his eyes, Matthew sat calmly on the other side of the car and watched Arnold drive.

When they were done with the driving session, almost dusk, they both left the road grounds and entered the sitting room.

It was 6 pm already, but it was clear that both men wanted to leave.

"It's a great pleasure meeting you, Max Fury... Sorry, Mr. Arnold, hahaha!" Matthew joked and laughed.

"Haha, it's my pleasure too. I hope we can meet again and discuss further. For now, you know we have to go back to work," Arnold said.

"True. We need to go back to our duties," Matthew nodded.

After preparing and coming out of the building to take their different transport vehicle, they were both set to leave.

"Hey, Kevin," Arnold called, seeing Matthew Bridges about to enter the car... Matthew Bridges turned to look at Arnold swiftly.

"Good luck!" He shouted.

Matthew then smiled and nodded. "Good luck to you too, friend!" He replied and hit his chest with his fist.

Arnold did the same to express his courage before he entered the car... And then, the car zoomed off.

The word "good luck" only meant one thing...

And that's the success they hope for after the commercial.

Great sales!
