''Oh okay, it''s not so bad then. At least I know how to increase my mental capacity but why do I feel like the rate at which my mental capacity is increasing, is different from what I read in the novel?''


    [Scouring administrators'' memories....]


    [It''s doesn''t follow a different rule, but instead, you can consider it as a talent. Simr to how your efficiency is 100% for your own awakened ability, every time you exhaust your mental energy, you get a 1% increase to your capacity. Others have variable increases that are a fraction of yours. For example, Caleb''s mental capacity will increase a mere 0.001% if he exhausts all his mental energy]


    ''Ahh... okay, that''s cool I guess... very cool actually'' he thought, unable to stop the smile that crept up his face.


    He silently finished his supper andzed around before he went back to the underground cage fight. As he walked, he put on his mask and ten minutester, he found himself inside the cage.


    "Hello, you can call me ck cat. The owner told me about your deal, so if you have any requests feel free to tell me." the guy said as he smiled at Keith. He was two inches taller than Keith, standing at six feet two inches and he was he looked pretty well built, like someone who wasn''t supposed to be in this town.


    Keith was pleasantly surprised at his amodating ways and nodded, "That''ll be great. Feel free to go all out but just don''t scratch me and stuff. Those take much longer to heal. I''ll tell you when you can go full power though."


    "Sure." the guy said and did some stretching as the people around them screamed and cheered. Keith looked around and then stopped when he looked at ck cat, "Hey, don''t you think they''ll be angry? I mean, I''m sure that the guys at the front heard us speak just now."


    "Nah, don''t worry about it. I asked someone I know to cast a barrier that blocks sound, so yeah, no one will be able to hear us until the fight starts."


    Keith nodded and began stretching too, imitating the guy''s exercises until the bell rang.


    "Raaaaaah, are you ready to be my dinner, boy?" ck cat roared as he snarled at Keith, who silently got ready to fight.


    ck cat immediately transformed. His skin turned pale pink and ck fur grew over it as his face began to warp, resembling felines. A tail grew while his arms changed too.


    Once the transformation was done, Keith felt disbelief, ''That''s not a ck cat, dammit. That''s a fucking jaguar!''


    Instead of feeling fear, Keith actually felt a rush of excitement. Fighting a jaguar meant that he could gain more from this fight, which was exactly what he wanted.


    ck cat then stood on his two hind legs and another transformation began, his legs began to resemble humans more as they got slightly longer, but it was his arms that shocked Keith more. Each one of them were slightly longer than a meter.


    He also grew taller, reaching seven feet as he watched Keith''s reaction with glee.


    "Surprised?"


    "Kinda." Keith said as he dashed forward to punch him, but just as he was a few inches away from him, ck cat moved towards the right and the only thing that Keith could see was a ck blur.


    He immediately turned around, but right at that moment, he felt like a hammer had smacked him right across the face. Keith staggered towards his left and shook his head to stop the blurry images that he was seeing at the moment..


    ''Damn, this is going to be a long night.''


    Keith tried his best to keep up and ck cat did his best toe down to Keith''s level, slowly increasing his pace his opponent began to get used to his speed.


    "Gosh, you''re good." he said as he increased his speed once again and punched Keith in his gut, making him bend forward.


    "Ugh." Keith groaned, his voice barely audible as he had trouble breathing thanks to the punch. But it onlysted for a second before he recovered. His foot shot towards his right as he made a round house kick, but ck cat easily dodged it by taking a step back.


    The moment Keith''s foot passed in front of him, he took a step forward and punched the side of his head, sending him rolling to the floor.


    Keith continued to improve until he couldn''t anymore. No matter how much his brain adapted to ck cat''s speed, his body was unable to keep up. It didn''t matter how small and efficient his movements had be as this was the limit that he had reached, a limit that his body couldn''t surpass anymore.


    He felt a sudden surge of helplessness and frustration as he continued fighting. His body healed no matter how much beating it took, but he was unable to improve anymore.N?v(el)B\\jnn


    Each one of his punches and kicks felt heavy and slow as his eyes easily tracked ck cat moving around his attacks, easily dodging them without having to exert too much stamina.


    ''I guess this is the limit of a B grade physique...'' he thought as he sighed and slowed down, "I give up."


    Hearing this, ck cat stopped and patted Keith''s back, "Good job there, buddy. I''ve never met anyone who could adapt to my speed as quick as you but it looks like you''re out of steam now." he said as he saw Keith panting lightly.


    "Well, there''s a limit to what my body can do I guess." Keith said and looked at the owner of the cage fights, who nodded in response and got her men to unlock the gate.


    Since he was achieved his objective, Keith went back to the inn to get some rest before leaving the next day. Hey down on his bed and spent the remaining mental energy to boost time in his spatial dimension as he made ns for the next day.


    ''The horses here aren''t well fed, so I guess I''ll just get one to the next major city and switch carriages there.''
