KINETIC

Chapter 46 Level Up



Several days went by and finally the day that the trainees would start taking their classes finally arrived.

It was currently early morning. Leo had left his room and was standing in the courtyard. Nobody was around and he had just finished doing his daily quests.

'Hmm? A skill point... Finally.' Leo had a look of triumph on his face since this was the first skill point he had received.

'Let's take a look at my stats.'

Name: Leofalor

- Level: 5 (600/4 800)

STATS

- Strength - 9

- Speed - 9

- Stamina - 9

- Agility - 9

- Intelligence - 11

- Perception - 8

- Energy - 20/20

- Unassigned points - 2

'Its been a week but I finally got a skill point when I reached level 5. I wonder if I'll get a Skill point every 5 levels. If I get another one at level 10 then I will be able to confirm it but if not, then how long will it take to get another one?' Leo thought.

'The amount of XP has been increasing, so far its been doubling after each level up. Luckily my quests have been providing more XP as they've been getting more difficult.'

'I'll place today's Stat points into Stamina. The core Strengthening is still draining me too quickly. I'd like to have all my stats be even but I can't afford to hold back right now.'

- Stamina - 11

As soon as Leo added the point, he could feel the difference, but it was a bigger difference than usual.

' That was odd... Why did it feel like I got more out if than usual? ' Leo wondered out of confusion.

' I think it's because it reached 10. Every time you pass into the next set of ten you will probably feel a larger leap in the increase of the stat than usual, at least that's my theory.' Dreifus chimed in.

' I'll have to put that to the test. Right now I'd like to purchase a new skill from the system.' Leo replied.

Leo opened the skills menu and went to the locked skills. Only 2 were available right now. All the skills cost 1 Skill point, but most of them require Leo to be a certain level before he can unlock them, so he had only 2 options.

' I guess it doesn't really matter which I pick.' Leo thought. He then chose the first locked skill.

*Ding

Congratulations, You have purchased the skill

- Leap (Level 1)

'Leap? As in jumping?' Leo opened the skill to read it's description.

Leap

- Allows the user to increase their jumping distance and height in proportion to the strength stat.

'So the higher my strength stat is, the more effective this skill will be?' Leo thought. He then decided to test out the skill to see its effectiveness.

'My strength stat is higher than a normal human but how much will it change my normal jumping height?' Leo tried to jump into the air without using Leap.

He jumped and his feet reached around 0.5 meters off the ground. 'Not bad, now let's try with the skill.' Leo activated Leap.

Leo crouched down and jumped. His body went up into the air, his feet reaching a height of around 3 meters.

'That's a massive difference, I'm not sure where this will be useful but it seems like a handy skill to have, especially once I increase my strength stat.' Leo was satisfied with the Leap skill and so he returned to his room.

Since Leo had become a ranker, he had been given his own room with what looked exactly like his badge placed on the door. This showed that it was his room to anyone who came near it.

Cain, Clay and John had been given the room next to Leo, it displayed their assistant badge with the number 1 on it, so that it was clear they were Leo's assistants.

Leo entered his room. The room itself was the same as any other, except there was only 1 bed and it was at least 3 times the size of a regular bed. There was a much larger chest for the owners belongings as well. A single desk was pressed against the wall to the left. To the right of the room was the ranker privilege that Leo loved the most. A bathtub.

Just like the bathtub Leo had seen at the palace, this one had a button that made warm water come pouring out. Leo still hadn't figured out how it worked, but for now he just enjoyed its existence.

Leo took his morning bath, as he had been doing recently. He then put his uniform on and walked out of his room.

Leo had been told which room to go to for his classes and so he went to the second floor. He walked to the room's door sliding it to the side and opening it.

The room was filled with about 10 trainees, all sitting at seperate single man desks. When Leo entered, all the trainees instantly became quiet and stared at him.

Standing at the front of the class was a woman in her mid to late 20's. She had shoulder length light brown hair that she allowed to hang lose. She wore round glasses and was about 1.65 meters tall.

She spoke with a sweet and serene voice. "Ah, you must be the last one, my list indicated that someone was missing. Please take a seat and we can begin." She said while gesturing to the classroom.

Leo didn't say anything, he simply walked to the seat in the middle of the front row. A different trainee was currently sitting there but when he saw Leo stop in front of him, he got up and moved to a different seat.

Leo sat down and waited. The woman in front spoke again, "It's a pleasure to be here. You can all address me as Professor Wenry. I'll be teaching you all about the use, study, history and collection of Crystal's. This is a very important topic so I hope you all pay very close attention.' Professor Wenry said with a sweet smile on her face.
