After that game, Jake went to the basketball court saying goodbye to everyone, as there would be no more competitions this year. Jake saw no further advantage in continuing to train with the basketball team.

He had already talked to this with his teammates the day before and was just warning Coach Mike, Jake could always train basketball at home and in system space as well.

The physical training that was most important to Jake would continue to go on sometimes in the training of the football team or at his own home gym, in a few more weeks the court and the athletic field would finally be completed at Jake's house.

"I'm glad to have been your coach Jake, you are sure to become an NBA star in the future, and it will be a pride for me as it is now."

"I also really enjoyed training with you Coach Mike, hope I can come here to talk to you sometimes."

"For sure, you will always be welcome Hahaha."

After that Jake would only have the classes to go to school, Jake already had the grades he needed to enter university, he knew that even if he took too much of his time school was an experience he would miss in the future, just as he had in the past.

At the end of the day, Jake returned home and took his shower and went to the bedroom to rest before his mother arrived, with the maids at home Jake no longer had to do homework as he had before.

He had run the 60 km again on the school's athletic field, if others knew of Jake's training routine would think he was preparing for the Ironman instead of the marathon.

But that was the only way Jake knew how to prepare for the Olympics, after all, he didn't need the race time to win better, so he could only increase the training distance to make it easier at race time.

When he lay down to rest Jake recalled yesterday's game, Jake himself thought that this was the best game he had ever played for his opponent's results and difficulty, Jake felt he had climbed another wall, but the system said nothing.

"Fate, what did you think of my performance in the final?"

[You played very well, what happened in the game is that you were able to make the most of your skills after you stopped holding back, it was smart to get my tip on space training from imagination training.]

"So you're telling me that I didn't really cross any of my limits and just did what I should with my ability?"

[Exactly, to be exact if you crossed a line was the barrier you put yourself in your way, yet it was amazing that you were able to do it alone in times of need.]

Jake was a little disappointed by that, in fact, what the system was saying was that he was incompetent before because he couldn't use his own resource as a player, the only thing he did in this game is to get back what was his own.

[Don't underestimate yourself so much Jake, you did it because it was necessary, you shouldn't always play your best against your teammates and weaker opponents than your team, otherwise, you can stand out and make people unhappy.]

[The important thing is that you now know how to make the most of your skills when you need them, at university, you will never have to hide your skills because there are still a lot of people who are better than you now.]

Jake knew that too and was excited for the new challenge, just as when he entered high school and was excited to face opponents who were better than him, unfortunately, he didn't get that opportunity because the coach didn't like him.

But on the college team, Jake knew that the coach could give him the opportunity to play with stronger opponents than him, it's exciting for Jake to start out weaker than others and fight to become the best in a few years.

He knew that after college he would no longer have this opportunity, as the system said he would now be entering the world of professionals when he had enough skill to be the best at university he would be considered good in the NBA.

That was a difference Jake had from other talented players his age, Jake knew why he had the system that wasn't the best and wasn't arrogant even though he was almost always the high school national championship MVP.

So he never tried to stop improving, very skilled young people thought that being the best in high school would be enough to get into the NBA and become a superstar, so the coaches liked Jake who didn't have that arrogance.

In fact just as the system said Jake was different from others and thanks to the system could also be considering a great genius so if he went straight into the NBA with a few years playing he could become a star just the same.

That was the difference between Jake and others, yet Jake still chose the best way to improve his college basketball skills, since what Jake needed most now was time to improve his skills.

Even though this was an important year for Jake in his life in general because it was the beginning of college and also the Olympics, this time after the national championship was surprisingly a time where Jake had nothing to do.

He didn't have to worry about basketball games to play and didn't have a business to take care of, Emily was watching the stock market, and even that wasn't necessary for Jake who knew about the future.

His partnership with Amazon was a success, and Jake knew that if he didn't get involved with the company even though it had its tough times, it would grow to be one of the world's biggest companies in the future, and Matthew's company was just bothering to sell digital cameras and earn the profit.

Of course, several people in the company were busy finished developing the new digital camera for sale next year and also in the technology to prepare digital cameras for placing on a computer and future smartphones.

With Jake's huge profit last year on the advice of Jake, Matthew gave great incentives and bonuses as well as raising the salary of all his technology development experts.

That plus the company's non-disclosure agreement would help prevent big companies from trying to steal their experts, Matthew also promised them that after this year their salaries would rise again.

The advantage of Matthew's company to the other big companies in the market was that they only specialized in selling digital cameras and developing this technology while other big companies had to share their investment with other electronics.

This plus Jake's knowledge of the right way forward would help the company become one of the leaders in the international market.

Since Jake had nothing more to worry about, he decided to start preparing for the Olympics first, even though he said that all he had to do was continue training as he did every day.

After all, they were still in March and there were a few months left to think about the Olympics, surely for Jake, the preparation for the Olympics was probably the simplest of all athletes in other sports.

Of course few could run 60 km every day like him at Jake's speed, Jake tried to increase the distance but realized that currently, 60 km was his limit, in physical training Jake was also getting close to his body limit.

That's because Jake remembered the system saying that it would only have 2 more years for his body to stop developing as it did now if now he needed 7 months of hard training to get a 2-year physical statistic it took almost 2 years to increase each statistic.

So Jake decided that he had given up on such intense physical training after these two years, he would still do like other athletes, but it would not be as much as now because Jake understood that he could earn statistics points slowly now because his statistics were below 50.

But next year Jake was thinking of fighting to win all 4 other major marathons, this year he would still try to win in New York to redeem himself from defeat last year, and after doing so he would earn 5 more stats points in agility and Resistance.

So in those two years of physical training, it would be hard to even get 1 extra stat, of course, Jake also knew that after reaching 50 statistics he would be stronger than the others and no longer needed physical training and just skill.

In fact, even the system was amazed at how fast Jake improved, and the system was estimated to take Jake about 10 years to reach the level it was now, with a number of statistics rewards Jake didn't receive.

The system still knew that next year Jake would further improve his physical stats, after all, Jake could only win the marathon because he had trained very hard and increased endurance very fast.

So Jake could increase stamina by winning the major marathons, for the system that wouldn't be possible before Jake was 20, as that was all merit of Jake who knew how to use the system well was just that he was better than the others your age.

In early June Jake would have to go to the Olympic center, so it was still four months away if it wasn't for his determination before Jake could still try to run the Boston Marathon as well.

But that could end up drawing a lot of attention to him who would still compete in the Olympics, just as he was criticized after getting hurt by the media last year for competing in the New York marathon after a few months of winning in Chicago.

While thinking he had plenty of free time Jake received an unexpected invitation, John had called Jake informing him that a movie director had invited Jake to a party at the Miami Beach hotel.

It seemed that this director had met Jake when he was doing the commercial for John and Alan's companies earlier this year, Jake naturally accepted the invitation.
