The Bodyguard System

Chapter 76: Scarlet's Little Plot

Sylvia who was quite curious about what Jaden was going to teach Scarlet, came over, and watched silently from outside the ring.

Inside the ring, Jaden stood in front of Scarlet. Then, he told Scarlet to attack him. It was only by understanding her weaknesses that she was going to improve.

Scarlet did not hesitate to immediately attack. In just a matter of a few minutes, he was already sweating profusely. She was quite lucky considering that she was currently wearing a tracksuit that was quite breathable. Otherwise, had it been that she was wearing ordinary clothes, they would be extremely drenched in sweat at the moment.

She was continuously attacking while Jaden was busy defending. Most of the time, he would evade the attacks, while at other times, he would parry or block the attacks.

When Jaden finally realized that Scarlet was tired, he finally decided to give her pointers while she rested. Of course, he simply emphasized in the areas that he had realized that Scarlet was making mistakes.

"When you attack, you have to know that the enemy can dodge the attack that you are launching. So, you have to be prepared when the enemy dodges the attack by either retreating, or sending another attack their way, to prevent them from attacking you instead." Jaden explained.

Scarlet listened carefully as Jaden went ahead to give the pointers. He emphasized the mistakes that she had made, and gave ways that she could improve the areas that she was not making many mistakes.

Of course, Jaden understood that training was something that was going to take quite a while. Even though the current ability that he possessed was not something that he had achieved by training for a long time, still, it was quite logical that nobody would be able to get stronger and skilled in just a matter of a single day, unless they possessed a cheat like himself.

So come on the first thing that Jaden did was to point out the mistakes and the areas that Scarlet should strengthen. Immediately after that, when Scarlet had rested enough, it was the time that they had to put the theory into action.

So, they started by correcting the mistakes that she was making. For example, if she attacked, she sometimes attacked using her full strength, in such a way that if the enemy dodged that attack, it would be quite difficult for her to be able to stabilize herself.

Jaden went ahead and taught Scarlet methods that she could utilize in order to be able to maintain the same attack power, but still reduce the movements that she was making.

That was the first thing that she was going to train in. So, Jaden decided to relax while Scarlet contemplated on that matter. And after about 10 minutes, she attacked once again, while trying to integrate the teaching that Jaden had taught her in her fighting.

At the beginning, it was quite difficult for her to be able to do that, considering that she had already gotten used to fighting using full force. But now, she had to minimize the strength that she was using in each attack.

In order to deal with the issue where the attack powers reduced, he would always target the vital areas that would hurt the most. That way, even if they attack did not possess that much power, it would be able to deal much damage to an enemy.

It was during this moment that Jaden finally understood that Scarlet was quite talented when it came to combat. It was no wonder she possessed such capabilities despite the age that she was in.

In just a matter of a few minutes, she had managed to integrate the majority of the teaching that Jaden had taught her. According to Jaden's estimation, in just a matter of about 3 days, she would be comfortable with following the different style that she was supposed to be using when fighting.

Sylvia did not leave the area, and was observing the interaction between the two people. And to say the truth, she could not help but be amazed by how Jaden was quite good at training.

She had already tried teaching Scarlet, but she realized that Scarlet could not learn anything fast. It seemed that the method that she was using was the problem. Now, when Jaden was teaching her, it seemed that she was quite capable of grasping what she was being taught.

At that moment, Sylvia could not help but have an impulse of fighting against Jaden. Since he was capable of training Scarlet to such an extent, in such a way that she was making improvements on the very same day, it implied that he definitely possessed quite some capabilities.

Moreover, for Scarlet to accept Jaden to train her, that implied that he possessed an ability that was way above hers. That was already visible by the fact that he was able to train her. So, Sylvia believed that Jaden was qualified to be able to fight with her.

She was quite curious about his real abilities. Could it be that he had gone beyond her, or they were at the same level? Of course, she did not believe that he was below her. After all, any person with such capabilities, was definitely not weaker than herself.

So, Sylvia decided to wait until Jaden had decided to take a rest together with Scarlet, when she suddenly jumped into the ring. Her action immediately surprised the two of them, as they had not expected that she was going to do that.

"What is it now? I'm not going to fight with you no matter how many times you try to convince me." Scarlet immediately stated when Sylvia jumped into the ring.

"You don't have to worry. I don't want to fight with you. Instead, I would like to have a sparring competition with him." Sylvia stated as she looked at Jaden.

Even though Jaden looked like he was currently resting, he did not look tired at all. After all, his breathing was normal, and more than that, other than a few beads of sweat on his forehead, there was nothing else that indicated that he had been working hard.

"What?" Scarlet was immediately surprised upon hearing that. The last time that they were inside the gym, she had tried to make the two of them fight, but Jaden had refused. And upon hearing his refusal, Sylvia did not press on the matter, and instead, he went ahead and supported Jaden.

What could have happened to make Sylvia take the initiative of suggesting a fight between the two of them? Her eyes glinted with a mysterious light as she thought of something.

Jaden on the other hand had not expected that Sylvia was going to intend to fight with him. To say the truth, he really did not want to fight at all. If possible, he would only use the skills that he possessed during the time that it was required, when he was carrying out the mission.

Of course, there was an exception, and that was the time that there was something for him to earn. So, Jaden was not planning to fight against Sylvia. Just as he was about to refuse by giving an excuse, Scarlet suddenly spoke up.

"You are talking about a sparring competition?" Scarlet asked with a curious expression on her face, but there was a cunning smile on her lips.

When Sylvia and Jaden saw that smile on Scarlet's face, they could not help but think that there was something evil that this girl was planning. Still, they could not put their finger on what it was that she was planning.

"Yes, is there a problem with that?" Sylvia asked, a little confused.

"So, what is the stake? You cannot tell me that there is going to be a competition without anything to earn in return, right?" Scarlet asked, the smile on her face getting brighter.

"Ah?" Sylvia had not expected that Scarlet was going to ask for something like that. So, she was caught completely off-guard.

"Don't tell me that you want to fight with Jaden without giving him something when you say that this is a competition?" Scarlet asked with raised brows, as the smile on her face immediately disappeared.

Sylvia blinked her eyes continuously. She could not help but think that this scarlet was definitely planning something. It was just that she was not sure on what it was that she was planning.

"What do you suggest that the stake of the competition should be?" Sylvia asked curiously.

"What do you think about $10,000? I'm pretty sure that that is not a big sum for you, right? If you lose in the fight between the two of you, you are going to give Jaden $10,000. In short, the winner is going to win $10,000." Scarlet immediately explained.

Both Jaden and Sylvia could not help but be left speechless after hearing Scarlet's words. What was this girl thinking?

"Are you serious about this? I am the one that is going to give the $10,000 that is going to be used as the reward for the winner? Then, if I win, what am I going to receive as a reward? After all, it is my money that I will be getting back." Sylvia asked with a confused expression on her face.

"What do you mean by asking what will you get after winning? Won't you get $10,000?" Scarlet asked, seemingly confused.

Even though Sylvia felt that Scarlet was just pretending, he still went ahead and explained. "I am the one that is giving $10,000 for the competition. But that is mine, what about Jaden's? What is he going to give so that when I win, I get something?"
