[Third-Person Point of View.]
Classes had become easy to the point of being interesting. It was like playing a game with cash. Thanks to that, it becomes easier to achieve certain goals, becoming better than the others.
'Why do all those who become smarter for X reason say that classes become boring?'
That was something he couldn't understand. In fact, it had become even more fun. Learning, truly learning and with ease, wasn't bad at all. In fact, knowing that he was learning something new was satisfying to say the least.
'Maybe I'm the strange one… Or not?'
[Thank you for your diligence with studying, your (Intelligence) increased by +1]
[A new Skill was created due to a specific action.]
[Study (Passive/Active) Lv.1 EXP: 00.00%]
[Creates a command for "Study" in auto-pilot mode.]
[10% increase in the chance of increasing the attributes: (Intelligence) and (Wisdom)]
Why only now?
That was the doubt he had.
But, really?
It didn't matter if it was 'late' or not. As long as it happened.
'This will be quite useful...'
In particular, mainly for doing homework in auto-pilot mode.
With that, only today, he increased 2 intelligence.
'Huh? Finally...'
Near the ringing of the signal for the end of school, Saiki received a message warning that 30 thousand yen had been deposited into his bank account.
That didn't make him rich, but it got him out of the red.
Before, he hadn't wanted to spend the little he had buying ingredients to learn how to cook, but now that problem had disappeared.
If possible, gain a skill related to cooking, later, he could even make some dishes with the rabbit meat from the PhD.
"Remember: an equation only seems difficult until you understand what it's trying to say—"
BRRRRING!
Before the sensei could continue explaining, the signal rang.
Clearing her throat, the class president said: "Everyone stand up."
...
Seeing in numbers the value of learning so to speak, was really exciting.
[Intelligence]: 36 → 39 (+10)
[Wisdom]: 41 → 42 (+20)
Wisdom increases when you have a wise idea repeatedly. To test it, he created different forms of calculations during classes and it resulted in an increase of 1 wisdom point.
'I can hardly wait until I reach 50...'
"See you tomorrow." Takashi said goodbye to him.
Waving, Saiki replied: "See you. And, think about what I said."
"I will."
With that, Saiki started walking alone.
Normally, he went straight to school, but this time, he had as his objective a different place.
Heading toward the train station, Saiki stored the backpack inside the inventory as soon as he started passing through an empty alley. Read this novel at novelping.com for the best experience.
'I feel like something is going to come out from somewhere to haunt me...'
It was very quiet and poorly lit. This alley was between several buildings.
Until the end of the alley, nothing happened.
After crossing it, he was now very close to the station.
...
[Beware of Bears]
'Well, if it were a few days ago, this could have scared me.'
Saiki thought while advancing along the dirt and stone road.
Around him, he was surrounded by large trees, creating a lot of shade.
The road was an uphill climb. While walking, he spotted a woman in her early 20s.
She was curvy with long black hair, ample breasts and gray eyes. She wore a white button-up shirt and practical jeans. At her waist, she had a belt and attached to the belt, she had a hammer.
'What a beautiful woman...' Saiki admired her a little.
With a simple wave, he passed by her who returned the wave.
After passing her, he glanced back.
'Nice ass.' He almost whistled.
His distraction was merely a few seconds. Saiki continued looking forward, going deeper and deeper into the forested area, leaving the road path.
...
A few minutes later.
'It seems like I'm alone. I'm in a pretty remote area, no one should come here now.'
With that said, Saiki took the baseball bat out of his inventory.
'Alright. Let's begin!'
Holding the bat with both hands, he aimed at a thick tree.
Bang!
The impact of the blow made his hand tremble and the tree bark break, it even sank a little.
The leaves of the tree started falling while the birds around got startled, flying away in a chorus.
'Huh? This baseball bat... Is it really denting?'
He hadn't used much force, but undeniably he used more force than he would as a common human.
Relaxing his shoulders, he decided to reduce the force even more.
Bang!
It still produced a loud sound, but not as strong as before.
Saiki continued striking the tree repeatedly.
[Thank you for your diligence, your (Strength) increased by +1]

"Yes!!"
A smile spread across his face.
Like a 'happy lumberjack', he continued striking the tree.
<Heavy Strike>!
<Heavy Strike>!
<Heavy Strike>!
<Heavy Strike>!
<Heavy...
Exactly 30 Heavy Strikes later...
[White Weapons Mastery leveled up!]
[Powerful Strike leveled up!]
Wiping the sweat from his forehead, Saiki murmured quietly: "With this, I spent 150 of my MP..."
Although he could continue, he was going to end it for today.
His objective in coming here had already been fulfilled.
[Warning!]
[After detecting an overwhelming amount of bloodlust, you unlocked the skill <Detect Bloodlust>.]
[<Detect Bloodlust (Passive)> Lv.1 EXP: 0.00%]
[Detects bloodlust within 30 meters of the user's location. Also alerts the user of its origin.]
Instinctively, Saiki felt the location of who was sending bloodlust alerts.
When he turned and looked, he saw a man on a tree branch. He had a dreadful smile on his face and his eyes were red.
When this man opened his mouth, it was quite red with two rows of sharp teeth like a shark's.
<Stray Devil>
[Lv.28] Mike Jones
'Shit?!'
Saiki's heart beat very hard against his rib. Before he entered into panic, turning to flee, he calmed down. Even his heart returned to normal. Meanwhile, his brain started processing very fast.
'Flee or not flee?'
Saiki felt like he was on top of a wall. On one side, there were five rottweilers, on the other side, only two tigers. Now, which of the two sides was more dangerous?
