... crushing my abdomen against the border of the other building.
All of the air that I collected inside my lunges got expelled almost making me fall but I was barely able to grab the border with my hands.
I pulled myself up and rolled on the roof, catching my breath, not because I was tired but cause I was scared of what had almost happened.
'I knew this was a shitty idea, why am I even doing this?'
---------------------
+ 2 Hard Bones
+1 Pain Resistance
+1 Parkour
+3 Tree points
---------------------
'... Fuck.' I thought while going back and searching for the next nearest building.
The first few times I barely evaded falling from the roofs, but after Parkour reached 10, and I understood the perfect moment to jump from roof to roof, I was able to move between buildings without crashing and without making too much sound.
I was moving so well, that I had gained two levels in Sneak for not being discovered in a lived area.
With a smile, I was just about to jump to another roof, when a shout came from one of the near alleys.
Curious I looked down at the alley, and the scene surprised me.
A man with a hand shaped like a gun was pointing it at a woman and hinting at her to give him her purse.
I acted on instinct, well more Izuku's ones that fused with one, and jumped straight from the roof and landed on top of the villain.
Fortunately, the buildings weren't too high, barely three floors, so even though I knocked out the villain I didn't hurt myself too much, only causing one or two broken bones him.
I turn towards the woman and simply look at her, not knowing what to say.
Tears start falling from her eyes, a smile forms on her mouth and she shouts: "THANK YOU." Before running away.
'And I did my good deed for the day.'
---------------------

---------------------
'... THAT IS FUCKING GOOD SHIT.'
I only saved someone and not only I removed the negative effect from the slave title, but I also received a +5 in charm and an occasional +5 in physical stats.
Suddenly, I felt a sudden change in my entire being, but not on a physical level, but a... soul level?
I don't know how to explain it, but I felt less distracted from the pain in my chest, I felt way less stressed from the memories of my date with Mina, and other small changes that were making me less Anxious, was this the effect from Willpower raising? Has it always been like this but the stats rising were so small I didn't notice? What if it had risen by 10? Will I feel the same when I lose the slave title? Because this feels amazing.
I start hearing sirens approaching the area so without further ado I leave the area and jump from roof to roof to get away.
After I had gotten far enough I took out my phone and checked the time.
'Around 1:00 am, with recovery and my current endurance I need less sleep than normal, but still considering how tomorrow will be a dungeon exploration day I think it's for the best that I stop my hearing time for now and continue it later on, unfortunately, I am not, for now, a machine.'
Using the same tactic I got right back to my house and used the window I had left open to get inside.
While undressing I checked my rewards for the run back home, and I had gained another two levels in Parkour, 1 in Running, one point in Endurance, 2 points for Agi, and three whole points for Dex, finally.
After undressing and wearing my pyjama, I laid down and my bed and fell asleep immediately.
.

I opened my eyes and used Basic Self-Heal to remove the grogginess I was feeling, and immediately got up, checking the time on the clock near my bad.
' Damn, I only slept 5 hours and I feel as if I slept 7, cool.' I thought while seeing the time on the clock.
' I have around 1 hour before I need to prepare... might as well complete a quest.'
And just like that, I started my normal training routine, ending with only a point gain in strength and a reward of 1 point in Agi.
' I think I need to start wearing weights, or the progress will slow down.' I thought while heading for the bathroom.
I took a shower, washed my teeth, and wore my uniform, and just as I was about to head out mom put her hand on my shoulder.
" What are you doing?" She asked.
" Going to school?" Why was she asking?
"... Izuku, it's Saturday."
... I might be an idiot, but at least I am an efficient one... right?
Now aware of the day I changed into the same clothes of yesterday night and headed out, telling my mother I would train.
And training I will... but against Goblins.
.

I take my sword and shield and unlock three points a basic skill of the Guardian class.
---------------------
Bash Lv.1 (3 points)
You can't use a sword? Smash their heads with your shield, has a chance of ( Skill level- enemies resistance to blunt damage)%, boosted by the quality of the shield and Strenght.
---------------------
Pretty straightforward but will be useful in case the enemy gets too close.
I get inside the dungeon and just like the first time a Goblin immediately tries to surprise attack me, but this time I was ready.
I evade the attack and use Bash for the first time against the head of the Goblin.
A hearable sound of broken bones spread on the area, and soon after the Goblin fell to the ground with an opened skull, rewarding me with a level in Bash, Battle Focus, and 1 tree point.
'... I think I am ready now.'
