Chapter 7: New World (5)
~Jack POV~
"Whew…"
"Man, that was tiring…"
Great…
Exhausting myself I decided to do some exercise in Patch Village this time as I needed the extra stats and not fight just yet.
I want to boost my STR as much as I can.
Shame I have to wait a day to get the daily quest to gain some stats but also test my body to its limits since I can't solely rely on my stats.
Just because someone is higher level than you doesn't mean you can't kill them.
The prime example is that say if you fight a level 100 pokemon for example and you are level 1 what are your odds?
None... if we judge by pure stats alone.
Like once said in Akame Ga Kill the weak have their own way of fighting.
But power alone isn't everything if the level 1 pokemon unless having items to beat those odds and unique skills to beat against them.
In any circumstance against a stronger foe with great planning and foresight, you can beat any foe so long as you know what to look for.
And speaking of stats…
[Quest Completed]
[Please choose the following rewards:

[Ding!]

Smirking at this I began to open up my status screen to see my stats and adjusted them accordingly.

Ah…
Yes…
I feel the power!
Seeing a small glow appear around me I see the difference and can tell it.
Feeling the muscles on my body I began to see them grow even if it's only for a little bit.
Rising up for a bit I began to rest my body this time in the hotel room I rented for the time being as I had already ahead of time looking through some books.
Leaving the place as I eat up some food rations in my mouth I hurried along to look for more info about the Huntsman training or more specifically more topics about the aura.
Time to hit the books.
/////
The Patch Village library when I go inside I glance around the place as I try to find topics about the books as I began to hurry along.
Taking some side glances around the library I see that no one is looking around as I try to find a certain topic about releasing aura in books.
At the time I couldn't be bothered at the time when the security here was looking around.
So I had to be quick here.
But for me to do that I also need to do the appropriate amount needed to apply the effects of the aura needed for it to work.
Since I'm new to the whole idea I began to go along to find some info regarding Aura training.
Luckily, I have the time needed just to search for the right books needed for the job since I began to look around the place.
With some research and effort on my part in the books glancing around for certain topics I searched to find the correct one I needed to figure it out.
Looking around moving my head and body searching books after books on the topic of Aura I used my [The Gamer] ability to find the specific Skill Book needed or at least find the one that works.
I took my time to search for the subject I needed from the library that had some skill books on it's shelves for me to use.
Now, where is the one I need at…
Wait search on the 00064 Code….
Next move to the left side that has the 000034 Code on the shelves…
Ah!
I found it!
And fortunately, I found one.
Taking it out from the shelf it was placed on I began to glance at it as I began to see the book title show up on my screen in front of me.
[You obtained the skill book 'Aura Usage for Hunters.' Would you like to learn this skill?]
Hell yes.
Before anything I took a quick look around to see if there was anyone behind me or on the side.
Nope.
To the left and right.
No one was around.
Not even the cameras inside as I was in its blind spot.
So the cost is clear for me to accept the book.
Accepting the yes icon window, I watched as the book shatter into light and vanished, feeling the knowledge flow into me as it did so.
Vanishing in a flash of light I began to see and translate as well understand the fundamentals of aura till I saw another window pop up as well a brilliant royal blue color surrounded began to release smaller particles of aura, I generated from me as I saw the notification.
[You have unlocked the skill <Expel Aura>]
Hmm…
What's this one do exactly for me?
I know what it does, but some clarification would be nice.
Skill list.
<Expel Aura>.
-----

-----
Oh…?
Now this skill come in handy and it also raises up my <Aura> skill in the progress.
Perfect.
With this skill, I can finally begin to train on something crucial for me to do –
"Hey, kid?"
Stiffing at this as I was spooked as I turned around, I saw a random person I couldn't help but use my <Observe> on the person in front of me.
[Reddy Ray – Lv.? Security Guard]
Turning around to face the guard in question with a surprised look on my face I replied to him, "Eep! Sorry-y there sir! What is it would you like with me?"
Seeing how he scared me by complete surprise the guard raised his arms up apologizing to me for spooking me, "Whoa! Easy kid, I didn't mean to spook you I'm just asking if you have seen someone stealing books here?"
Shaking my head at this confusion about the situation as the guard replied to me, "Sigh… ok then kid. If you see someone stealing from here please notify any nearby guards. We can't have these books taken."
Feeling a bit curious I couldn't help but ask the guard the reasoning, "Really? Are the books important?"
Scoffing at this shaking his head at the idea of the books I absorbed he replied to me shrugging his shoulder, "The books? Not really. These ones are for public use for you know kids training to be pillars of humanity Huntsman or Huntresses. The public is allowed it's important for the Library as per the Headmaster's rules of 'Knowledge is power' and all that. I think they keep them to motivate those who want to train. Actually…"
He then looks at me curiously enough with a smirk on his face as he spoke to me with his hand on his chin, "Hmm… you thinking of joining to be a Huntsman kid? My kid is interested so you are researching them?"
Pretending to agree with the man I nodded as he laughed at me telling me to have a great day as I study.
Whew…
That was a close one almost felt like losing some of my years of life there.
But regardless looks like I won't be able to visit or take any of the books provided here unless I want to stay and study from here.
Well, I came what I originally came here to do.
Seeing that I have my <Aura Expel> skill will help me in handling as well as controlling my aura to act as I need it to be.
Since I have this I'll use this moment to grind as much as I can of my <Aura Expel> back at my hotel room for the night as I release it and wait to recover.
Hmm…
Thinking about it…
Recover my AP and HP huh…
Glancing around I managed to find a certain book as I merely touched it as I saw a certain icon written on it that made me want to get it immediately with a smirk on my face.
