After watching Jake battle against werewolves, seeing how he improved, Dan decided to play against him too. This made Dan send Jake a battle invite. After accepting, Jake and Dan went toe to toe for some minutes and then finally after a few minutes, they halted to observe each other properly. And then after a few minutes, it was finally time for round two between them.
Jake and Dan stood opposite each other with a smile on each of their faces. And then Vortex was the one this time to make a move by dashing towards Jake and then throwing a punch towards Jake's face but Jake easily avoided it by ducking but unfortunately, Jake's face was met with a knee kick from Vortex that managed so fling his head back.
The knee kick caused Jake to stagger back a bit then he managed to regain his footing but the vortex was already in front of him with a punch to Jake's stomach. Jake curled inwardly because of the strength of the punch and then he received another knee kick again to the face but the kick didn't connect for Jake used his hands to block the kick and then he quickly lifted his head and threw a kick towards the vortex's rib which connected successfully.

Then Jake moved back quickly to create distance but he didn't go past one metre and then he quickly activated <step shift>, <stun strike>, <strength Surge>and <Frenzy strike> all at once for one deadly combo. Immediately he activated <step shift>, the distance between him and the vortex was instantly closed then he started attacking the vortex rapidly with full strength.
The strength of Jake's punches were creating loud bangs and little shockwaves everywhere. And then <Stun strike, Frenzy strike> both wore off at the same time but Jake kept attacking the vortex with a punch to the face, a kick to the rib, an axe kick on the head and a hook to the vortex's neck that sent him flying back.

The vortex was still on the floor for a few seconds before he slowly got off with blood on his face but there was still a smile on his face. "You think you have won? But sorry to burst your bubbles, you haven't."
Meanwhile in the stands, Dan's friends were all the more impressed with Jake's skills for he managed to cause Dan to bleed. While the man who was sitting down, eyes now widened like someone who just saw a ghost. 'I knew it. It looks like my suspicion was spot on.'
'So the wolf hunter is really the kid with the orb. I recognize that skill he used. The one that made someone unable to move therefore making them vulnerable although, it's still a bit weak. I need to find him before he slips away from me.' The mah thought while getting ready to exit the gaming room.
'But I thought they said he attended an academy, hold on, I think the academy has a gaming room, I need to find it now! And get that kid.' The man who turned out to be Jim thought as he exited the gaming room and came out of his capsule.
The academy's staff room had a bunch of the capsules there so that the staffs could also practice their skills without getting hurt so that was what Jim was doing initially before he found out about a rising star in the gaming world and he decided to check him out after seeing the countless videos uploaded on the forum of all the wolf's hunter matches.
Quickly exiting the staff room, Jim was on his way to the academy's gaming room. Meanwhile back at the fight in the gaming room, after getting off from the ground with a smile, the vortex was just looking at Jake before he decided to say something.
"You know, you are strong. In fact strong enough to even make me bleed. But you are just not strong enough to defeat me or even give me a tough enough match. I'm sorry," Vortex said dashing towards Jake with tremendous speed that he didn't use initially In the fight.
And then he got to Jake's position in less than a second, then he quickly grabbed Jake's neck. "You can fight against me again when you are stronger." Then the vortex snapped Jake's neck therefore ending the game and declaring the vortex's as the winner.
Immediately Jake lost, it left a sour taste in his mouth but he decided to suck it up and play another match after all, win and loss were all apart of life. He can't always win. Sucking it up, Jake decided to play another match. But he quickly realized that the number of strong human opponents he was coming across in the silver rank, was more than the bronze rank. He couldn't help but shudder at the thought of those that were in Gold rank and above.
After an hour and thirty minutes of playing, Jake finally decided to call it a day by logging out of the game. When Jake exited the capsule, he noticed that most of the students had already left the gaming room so he also decided to do the same. Jake left the room to head off to his dorm room but not without checking up on his friends in the clinic.
Meanwhile, one hour fourty five minutes earlier, when Jim exited the room to head off to the gaming room, he ran very fast to get there so he could catch the wolf hunter before he left. When Jim got to the gaming room's entrance, that was when a message played out from his watch.
"Will all staffs report to the meeting room, including the sergeants and Generals. If you aren't here in the next thirty minutes, you will heavily punished." The voice said.
"Darn it! Just my luck. Why must it be now? I wish I could disobey them, but I don't want to take the risk." Jim said while turning around to head off to the meeting room. He was even tempted to turn around and head inside to get the wolf hunter but he decided to obey the call. "Don't worry kid, I'm gonna get you soon. It's just a matter of time."
