We have a level system in place for mankind.

Heavy pain hit my body. Taken together and leveled up, the pain also seems to multiply. But it wasn't as good as when we defeated Minotaur.

[Level up process finished. Show Status]

In the green fountain, my body slowly sank and touched a giant crystal-like object that was at the bottom of the fountain.

[I touched the control stone in the Delgios area. You will be given a choice]

It seems that the choice the voice of the example said was like the reward given to those who defeated the guardian and touched the control stone. That voice showed three options.

I. Acquire one arbitrary skill without skill points from the list of skills.

II. Gain the knowledge to make a talisman that will no longer be attacked from Trent.

III. Destroy the control stone and obtain a period during which Trent will not increase for ten years.

Lying at the bottom of the fountain, I thought about three options. It was fascinating to be able to master new skills without consuming skill points.

It's not worth much to me, but a talisman that won't be attacked from Trent would appeal to low-level seekers.

And the option of destroying the last control stone and obtaining a ten-year period during which Trento will cease to increase is worth considering. I was just dissatisfied with the deadline of ten years.

After thinking about it, I chose to acquire skills. The reason is that the Tree People District was away from Higashigami Town. Given the distance, I thought it might be limited to explorers only.

When that happens, it is which skills to choose. Skills that can be selected by the time you get off the island are "Lightweight Kung Fu", "Blacksmith" and "Speed Thinking".

These three are starred skills, "Blacksmith" requires a "3" for one star, and "Lightweight Gong" requires a "9" acquisition point for two stars.

And I don't know how many Acquisition Points 4 Stars' Speed Thoughts' need. But I wanted this skill.

Normally you wouldn't get it unless you consumed tons of acquisition points, so it was a great opportunity. I made the choice to get four stars of 'Speed Thinking' without skill points.

As soon as the information on my skills poured into my brain, my body seemed to have reached its limits. I felt too much blood and my consciousness gradually distant, and I didn't know anything.

◆◆◇◇◆◆◇◇◆◆

Around that time, Elena lurked herself outside the plastic factory and waited for Cozillow to come out. But it doesn't come out after time.

Having a bad feeling, Elena decided to take action. We climbed the emergency stairs again and went inside the factory. The first thing I noticed when I went inside was that that weird tree Baobab was disappearing.

"Mr. Cozillow knocked you down. But where is he?

I discovered a cozillow floating in a fountain of division. One Trent is approaching that cozillow. Elena put up a bow and shot Trent in the head. But that doesn't stop Trent.

Elena jumped down the aisle. Land and remove the cow knife while withstanding the shock of burning bones all over your body. Running over to Trent, he slashed it on the trunk with a cow knife.

Cut off Trent's trunk over and over again. Trent turned into a heart stone.

"Mr. Cozillow."

As I call, I lift Kozillow out of the Spring of Divisions. Confirmation of life and death confirmed the presence of breath.

"Good. Alive."

Elena almost cried, but she tightened her mind that wasn't the case. I tried to wake up a cozillow who was losing my mind. But Cozillow doesn't wake up.

Elena looked around and noticed the Trents slowly approaching.

"I have to run."

Elena, carrying Cozillow, began walking to the factory entrance and exit as she devoured her teeth. The Trents start chasing Elena.

Desperately fast-paced, Elena left the factory and pulled Trent apart.

"Elena!"

It was the voice of Kuroi. Turn your gaze toward the voice. You can see Kuroi riding himself out of the veranda of a five-story apartment.

Two parts jumped out of that building.

"Mr. Elena, are you okay?

"I'm fine. But Mr. Cozillow did."

"I'll take care of it"

The second part received the cozillow and bore it. The Muto men were hiding on the third floor of the apartment. Elena climbed up the stairs into the room and noticed that Muto was sitting on the couch and getting a foot allowance.

I lay on the couch of the larger one the cozillow that the second part was carrying.

"What happened to Cozillow?

Muto asked, distorting his face with pain.

"I tried to fight that big wooden monster to buy time to let Mr. Muto get away."

Muto and Kuroi, Ernabe lay down their faces.

"I'm sorry, Cozillow. We just did an extra imitation."

Apparently, the Muto were looking to rendezvous with the Elenas after they secured gas.

"But how?

"Kuroi has' olfactory enhancement 'skills. I was tracking it with the smell. But the smell was interrupted near the plastic factory, and I thought I might have gone into the plastic factory."

Elena remembered the potion she received from Kozilow and took a small bottle from the porch and gave it to Muto.

"What is this?

"It's a potion of cellular activity. Drink because the wound will heal."

"I think we should give Cozillow a drink."

"Mr. Kojiro doesn't have any scratches. It's okay, Mr. Muto needs them."

Muto drank a fearful potion. The effect was astonishing. After ten minutes, Muto could walk.

"Awesome. You can make this guy in Cardiostone Processing, too. I have to raise my skill level too."

◆◆◇◇◆◆◇◇◆◆

That's when I woke up. The fluid that was accumulating in my lungs was thrown out of my mouth.

"Gaha, Gho..."

"Mr. Cozillow, are you all right?

Elena looks worried, peeking into my face.

"I'm fine. What happened to me?

"It was floating in the fountain of division."

I remember. Quickly check the status.

[Name] Maki Kozilow [Occupation] Student [Level] 25

[Muscle Strength] 40 [Speed] 34 [Health] 35 [Dexterity] 33 [Brain Strength] 21 [Super Sensory] 25

[Skill Points] 34 [Skill Selection]

[Active Skills] "Throwing: 6," "Axe: 5," "Cardiostone Processing: 6," "Sign Detection: 3"

"Xiao Zhou Tian: 6," "Stick: 6," "Fucking Flame: 4," "Fucking Darkness: 3"

"Knife Technique: 3," "Exploration: 2," "Speeding Thoughts: 1"

[Passive Skills] "Physical Resistance: 7," "Toxic Resistance: 4," "Mental Resistance: 5"

I have more skills in 'Speed Thinking'. It didn't seem like a dream. All skill levels were up one at a time as well. Among them, 'Physical Resistance' transcends the advanced class and becomes the celebrity class.

Can the fact that the individual level is "25" and the muscle strength is "40" give about five times more power than usual? I feel like I could lift a barbell that weighs like a world record for power lifting.

There is a record of lifting a little barbell of 500km in Guinness. It won't extend to that, but I wonder if the 400 km will be okay.

"I didn't seem to split."

"Naturally. It's a different beast, so it splits."

Elena raised her voice like she was angry. I seemed angry because I said something stupid I was worried about.

Muto pinched his mouth.

"What happened in that factory?

I fought the Weird Tree Baobab and told him that I fell into the Spring of Divisions after I defeated him.

"I had a weird experience in the fountain"

I told him that the voice of the example informed him of three options.

The Muto and the others are listening with a serious face. I nodded so much when I heard that I had acquired four star skills. The Muto guys looked like they heard what skills they chose, but told them it was a secret.

"Wouldn't the second or third have been better?

The second part gave its opinion. This high school kid tends to have brain muscles, so it doesn't mean he blames me, he seems to think he would have said so.

"Tree People District, which Trent is territorial to, is a long way from Higashigami. I don't think normal people can get this far. Then I thought to myself, for the sake of the Seeker alone, whether I would choose to reduce the danger in the Tree People's District."

Muto nodded.

"Right. I don't think Cozillow made the wrong choice."

"Plus, there's another reason"

"What, is that?

"It's the heart stone of the wooden attribute. I didn't want to reduce the number of Trents because I could make potions out of this guy"

The Muto and the others were convinced. I asked Elena what she cared about.

"By the way, four star skills means how many acquisition points do you need?

When skills are acquired, that information is engraved into the brain. This information also includes information about the acquisition points.

"Four stars has an acquisition point of '81'"

"Roar."

The second part raised a strange voice. That's how many points there were.

"You're lying. How many individual levels do I have to raise?"

Elena quickly calculated the answer. If you don't level up two or seven times, you will not accumulate a calculation. Telling it, the Muto sighed in unison.
