Sam was impressed by what he saw as they moved through the gym passing a large variety of equipment for all kinds of work out under sunlight do to the one way see through walls and ceiling, then they enter another area filled with VR-platforms and solid hologram platforms were in use. The next area had four boxing rings three in use, what immediately caught his attention was Francine's wife was in one of the rings." well now I want to fight her even more," sam thought as he watched darcy combat and teach 6 children at once it the ring.

The receptionist climbed onto the ring, "hey boss," when darcy turns to him he gestured to sam, "this guy wants to join." gesturing for the receptionist to leaves she caught the kick of one the kids as she looked sam over. Humming she told the children to step out of the ring and cool down before calling sam up to the ring.

"So you want to join my gym?" to which Sam nodded. "I hope you think that will be easy." she narrowed her eyes as a smile grew on sam face. "Do you have some clothes in that bag?" sam told yes "good then go get changed. If you're joining my gym I want to see what you're made of." after receiving directing to the changing room sam left to change.

When sam returned to the ring he was wearing black and white loose athletic shorts with a matching t-shirt. Dropping his duffle bag by the ring the emerald-eyed teen climbed into the ring, "so how are we going to do this." his answer was his feet flying from under him. Blinked as his back hit the ground, "I forgot how much the tux amplifies my abilities". Rolling out the way of a stomp to the stomach sam quickly rolled to his feet. Turing quickly sam had to dodge a series of strikes aimed at his face.

Crossing arms to block the last strike sam threw a hook kick at her chest that she spun out of the way. Throwing a sidekick into sam's stomach she raised an eyebrow ass he caught it before returning favor witch she caught a well. As a stalemate Darcy asked as something," since I knocked you on your back you've been smiling why?"

Said smile strong on his face sam answered, ``I haven't fought like this in years, it got my blood pumping and my battle lust swelling so I hope you don't mind but I may get violent."

Dary narrowed her eyes before she threw her free leg over sam shoulder as an anchor than just as she twisted her waist sam grabbed her other leg and threw her away. Recovering darcy landed in a crouching position before spring back at sam. When the two clashed sam was the one on the offensive unleashing combos of punches and kicks that darcy easily blocked and deflected.

This carried on for a few minutes with the children watched in amazement, to be even more amazed when darcy deleted a fist to the face leaving sam open enough so she could smash her fist in the smiling teens face knocking him off his feet and a few feet away.

"Well it seems I didn't mind a-" a wave of something spread throughout the gym freezing all the occupants and delivering a chill down their spines, from the walls seeped blood and giggles of children that carried the feeling of wrong and just when it sounded like the giggling children were about to speak it all vanished.

"Well that's embarrassing I let so much out so easily, I guess I let it build up too much." sam said as he stood up with his cheeks dusted red. "So do you want to continue or would you like to stop here." when he asked this darcy was in a fight or flight stance. Taking deep breaths she decided that they would take a break.

Stepping out of the ring sam took a seat at one of the nearby benches, he sat leaning back to stare at the sky for a seran moment before he brought his hand up to cover his face.`` I got too excited and slipped out and on such a large scale too, this well it could've been worse and it can get worse to" pulling his hands from his face sam thought back over the fight and could barely stop the giggles coming up his throat.

"I guess going soft won't be all bad, causes people around me are stronger in comparison. It gonna be great… sometimes I hate being right." as soon as that thought move across his mind the lord's helper spoke up.

"You have completely digested the lust you absorbed last night."

"Yeah I noticed when my blood flowed south.", he mentally snarked, now what do I do 1 could ignore it until it goes down or quickly take care of it in the bathroom," while he was considering it he could easily do either really. But before he could decide his attention was drawn by the sound of children arguing.

Turning to the children was previously teaching he took in the sight of the other children working together to push the largest of them towards sam."hello" putting on his best child friendly smile sam asked them if he could help them with something while thanking the rune sew into the crouch of his pants and shorts.

The largest acted as a shield as a dark skin girl with an afro ponytail, asked what he did earlier with the whole bleeding walls and creepy giggling." oh the battle illusion."

"Battle illusion," the largest kid asked?

"Well, that is what I prefer to call them a more common term is power impression. What you saw was an impression of my power, a small one but an impression all the same. An impression is unique to a person because it is formed by their experiences and views both unique so while you may see similar impressions they will never be the same. Does that answer your question." nodding the children moved away from his like bats in hell. Except for one, he studied sam a moment before skipping away to join the others.

It was about thirty minutes later that darcy called sam back into the ring thankful his lust was able to settle down in that time so that was one problem taken care of, but it seems darcy was upset because when sam enters the ring darcy wasted no time beating him into the mate multiple times. The third time he came in contact with the mate sam was able to say without a doubt that she was holding back the first two times they fought.

When she was done giving sam a beatdown she told him that as long as he didn't break the rules of the gym he could use it to get back in shape, " she was able to figure out I'm trying to get back in shape I want to fight her more," sam thought as he peeled himself off the mat. Returning to the bench sam was greeted who gave him the virtual forms he would need to fill out.

After filling out the forms sam walked around the gym taking a look at the equipment and services the gym offered before changing back to his previous outfit then leaving but not without saying goodbye to darcy who back at teaching the children. Back on the street sam head to his last task of the day, which he called a cab to get to.

When the cab pulled to a stop sam paid the computer, before getting out and walking into the building sam repeatedly clenched and flexed his hands trying to get rid of the energy buzzing under his skin and ignore the forming bruise from darcy.

Walking to the front desk sam forced on a smile and his usual polite tone,"hell" he greeted the man sitting behind the desk 'is doctor Pekelo in?" receiving a positive answer sam asked if he was free for a check-up getting another positive answer he was told he take a seat while he filled out some forms and the doctor prepared.

While doing the forms sam tried not to think how badly this check-up was going to go, it wasn't because he was afraid of doctors though he wasn't comfortable with them but it was more than the dr.pekelo was afraid of him and that was entirely sam's fault but it was his parents' fault that is was his fault they should have told him that dr.pekelo might stab him in the arm and then he wouldn't have reacted so badly. Man, they were lucky he and the clinic didn't press charges.

When he turned in the forms the receptionist looked over them before sending him to the examination room. Entering the room sam saw it was empty so he placed the duffle bag in an empty chair before moved to stand behind the door.

It didn't take long for the Hawaiian doctor to enter the room. He raised an eyebrow at the sight of an empty room and then almost jumped out of his skin when has closed the door. For a moment, no one moved then the doctor began to quickly back peddle until his back hit the wall. "Long time no see, Samuel how you been?" his voice was steady but his eyes were frantically scanned the room for an escape route.

"Fine doctor how about we get started on my check so we don't have to drag this out." sighed the doctor told him to sit on the examination table. The check-up went smoothly except for the atmosphere that only a laser could cut.

At the end of the check-up, Dr.pekelo gave sam a clean bill of health despite the bruises and sore muscles. After the doctor dashed out of the room sam grabbed his duffle bag and left the clinic. Wandering the streets sam looked for a good place to get lunch. He found a nice pizza place where he got three large slices of meat and veggie. When he finishes his food sam called a taxi to take him home.

Five minutes into the ride sam got a video call from daniel to his surprise, bracing himself to be yelled at or cursed out sam answered the phone. "Sam my chaotic friend, how are you doing this day." with a smile and voice to rival the sun.

'Okay I have missed a step,' sam thought before Daniel told him that he talked to his parents, "there it is, well there went that plan what else can I do to drive him away." then daniel told his he was calling in on a promise they made.

"Which promise, we have made quite a few?"

"The one about making videos together." Sam immediately cursed he knew exactly what Daniel was talking about and he couldn't break this promise because when it was made their friendship was young so they used a contract rune that thanks to the kind of person sam was had some dangerous but no lethal consequences if broken.

"I hate being outplayed," the cosmic lord mumbled before speaking up" alright how do you want to do this?" the rest of the drive was filled with the two on how they were going to fulfill their old promise, when the car arrived at his house sam hung up on daniel telling he needed a nap, and a nap was what he got just flopping face-first into his covers dropping his duffle bag at the foot of his bed luckily he hadn't put his shoes or socks back on at the gym.

While he slept daniel doing work on their promises, his boss veronica had finally found someone who has heard about the plant sam told her about, the police were still looking for a lead, and sunset.

Waking up sam noted the lack of sunlight before pulling up the clock up in his bracelet." so 10:06 that a six-hour nap," groaning sam turned over rubbing the full-formed bruises on his body. Stretching out his limbs sam went over his day with a smile as he accomplished everything he set out to do."okay since I got my checkup today I can get my combat license tomorrow then I talk with daniel then register at the freelance office then I go to the gym."

Having created a plan for the next day sam got off his bed and went down the stairs to have dinner with ended up being some vegetable pasta, this time he remembered his fork. When the food was gone and the dishes washed sam took a shower washing his hair.

After drying off and getting dressed in his usual sleepwear sam climbed onto his bed laid down and began to refine his wires once more.
