My Pick Up Artist System

Ben grappled against a blue belt opponent in the Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu class, as the teacher Valentina watched on from the side, with her face twisting in horror…

She got her first sample, of some Soul Cranking action.

Lying on top of his opponent, Ben looked at him. "Hey man, you interesting in a side-hustle? To make a few bucks?"

The blue belt squinted at him, since it was a bizarre time to discuss work. "Sorry, I can't. I have a full-time job."

Ben sighed. "Tch, that's too bad. You seemed like the type of guy I could pay 50 bucks to kill Rihanna."

…

The opponent's eyes shook. "Wha—"

Before he got a chance to recover though, Ben had already improved his position and started to attack with submissions. Meanwhile, not far from them, having heard that exchange, Valentina scowled.

Then, her face continued twisting and changing colors further as Ben kept talking. "Hey bro, you got any kids?" He smiled, as if he felt bad about the last remark and was trying to make friends.

Confused, the blue belt shook his head. "No, single."

Ben nodded. "That's for the best. You look like your baby would be born addicted to eating ass."

…

Valentina winced…but this was just the beginning.

"You look like you run an amateur wrestling circuit in your backyard for squirrels."

…

Valentina grimaced…

"You seem like the type of dude to close the fridge with his hips."

…

Valentina face-palmed…and as for the blue belt…

*Tap* *Tap* *Tap* *Tap*

He couldn't take it anymore and Valentina didn't blame him. Even though Ben wasn't attacking her soul, she still developed a headache just from the smoke inhalation off those burns…

Staring at Ben in disbelief, she wondered where this bastard came from. 'What kind of jiu-jitsu is this?' She'd never seen anything like it. It was a disgrace!

...

Yet, as she witnessed Ben compete and defeat more blue belts, it forced her to admit one thing—this style was shameless, but it was effective! He was using an available weapon that few other fighters used, their mouth, and the way he was doing it was in a style she'd never heard of—classless and depraved!

...

Soon, she couldn't help getting agitated and challenged Ben to roll one on one. Although, before they started, she made something clear to him. "You say some sh*t like that to me, and I'll snap your neck."

Gulping, Ben nodded... Then, as they rolled, he proceeded to get his ass kicked for a few minutes before begging for mercy. Nevertheless, after working off her annoyance, Valentina released him and allowed him to continue rolling with the blue belts, as she performed a more careful analysis of his current ability. 'Putting his mouth aside, which is the most vicious, despicable thing I've ever come into contact with…the other aspects of his BJJ game are also good…'

She narrowed her eyes as she watched Ben roll with another blue belt. 'His technique is at an average blue belt level, but it's already incredible to have reached this point in such a short period. What's almost as shocking is, his strength seems to have improved a substantial amount too!'

When Valentina rolled with him, she needed to use advanced techniques to avoid clashing with him in a direct manner. Despite her skill advantage, every time she did so, he gained the upper hand right away. It was no surprise though, since not only was Ben's power reaching a terrible level with his third strength potion and regular training, but also, he was a man.

Thinking about that disadvantage inherent to her biology, Valentina frowned, her forehead creasing as a familiar fire burned in her chest. Yet, she didn't let herself get distracted, because Ben's strength change still bugged her. 'How is it possible?'

In theory, a super-genius could advance in technique at an unbelievable speed, but how would someone increase their strength so much in only a few days? Then, she looked at Ben and noted that he looked quite young. Although she wasn't aware of his exact age, she was certain he wasn't 21. Hence, since he was an enigma, she could only rationalize it that perhaps his body was maturing, gaining strength as he trained at a serious pace for the first time.

A growth spurt didn't only happen with height but also with muscle mass and strength. This was something she'd seen in her brothers, though to a much lesser degree. Regarding Ben, it was still a stretch because the difference was too drastic, but she didn't have any other explanation. So, she accepted it. 'He's a genius...'

Now, she watched him with more interest, as he tapped another blue belt by telling him he looked like the kind of guy to style his pubes.

...

'Just how special can one person be?' Valentina started gaining a bit of interest to see how far Ben would go.

As for Ben, after she'd beat him up dozens of times, he'd developed something like a mental trauma when it came to her and was very careful with what he said in Valentina's presence. He didn't even dare to use a divine line on her again, for fear of choosing the wrong one and getting his knee bent backward. Yet, if Ben did check her status, he'd see that for the first time since they met, her attraction level for him was no longer mortal enemy…

He wasn't paying attention to that though, because he was too busy mind-raping his opponents…and when the class finished, everyone knew there was a new dog in town, one not mess with and wearing a puke-colored gi…

However, Ben already moved on from thinking about them, because to his surprise, as he stood up from the mats, he received a new type of system notification.
