BXBX NOVEL Chapter 5 Shocking Display
-Fein's POV-
Name: Fein Bonifacio
Race: Human
Talent: Lvl 1 [F] (0/100 EXP)
Ratio: One in a Ten Genius
Degu Amount: 1 [F] (76/100 EXP)
Total EXP: 1700
Str: 2 (E)
Agi: 2 (E)
End: 2 (E)
Due to going back and forth in the forest, I had accumulated 1700 exp in one year.
I decided that I would spend all my exps now because I need every small improvement that my talent would provide me. This would boost my training speed, and make me stronger faster.
My Degu amount increased at a snail's pace in one year, whereas Michael, who was talented, was promoted to C Rank from the previous D Rank. In terms of Degu, he was now as powerful as a captain. However, Degu isn't the only deciding factor in battles. After all, there are a variety of strange abilities that can perform leapfrog in this world.
As an example, a Rank C Degu User with a strange ability may be able to defeat a B rank person if he catches him off guard. Yes, defeat, not kill. The difference in one realm isn't just 1+1=2, it's more complicated than that. In less than a minute, an A rank can eliminate ten average B ranks. The greater the difference, the higher the rank.
So, with my measly 1700 exp., I decided to upgrade my talent, and this is what it looks like...
Name: Fein Bonifacio
Race: Human
Talent: Lvl 4 [C] (0/2,700 EXP)
Ratio: One in a Ten Thousand Genius
Degu Amount: 1 [F] (76/100 EXP)
Total EXP: 400
Str: 2 (E)
Agi: 2 (E)
End: 2 (E)
Apparently, the required exp multiplies by three with each upgrade, so with those three upgrades, it costs me 1300 exp, and now I can only annoy myself by staring at the 2700 exp required. As a result, I decided to increase my battle prowess by upgrading my Degu's minuscule amount.
*Ding* Successfully ranked up to E rank...
Finally, you can improve your basic stats...
*Ding* Successfully ranked up to D rank...
The Storage Area is now operational...

Finally, when confronted with the C ranks of Degu Users, I can protect myself and flee without fear of dying.
...
Now I'm on my way to the forest to put my skills to the test with the weapon the captain gave me, and these are the weapon's stats.

While I was walking in front of me, there was a massive tree whose trunk was covered in strange grasses.
'Can my Lvl 4 talent improve my climbing ability?
'I theorized.
So I decided to give it a shot. I bent my knees, gathered my momentum, and ran full speed toward the tree. The wind was swaying my hair strands, which were covering my face as I ran. I jumped towards it, touched the nearest branch, and began climbing the tree.
It was difficult at first, but as the minutes passed, I realized that my body was slowly but steadily correcting its movement, from posture to how to maneuver, and as I climbed higher and higher, my climbing skill improved.
Now I have a smirk on my face; this ability of mine is just too god-awful; I can already imagine the infinite possibilities. Because now, in the future, I can be a Master of Assassination, Fighting, Spying, and Blacksmithing...
After putting my talent to the test, I was moving from one tree to the next like Tarzan from the cartoons in my previous life. With the skill I was displaying, it was as if I had spent my entire life in the forest. because I didn't just learn it; I'm already proficient in it. And that, after only three hours of practice... Although climbing and swaying from tree to tree isn't magical, it was a necessary skill for survival in the wild.
I was standing in the tallest tree when I heard a fight going on north of me, 41 meters away. So I decided to sneakily observe them from a nearby tree. With my Ranger's Eye training, I'm confident that they won't notice me if I don't want to be noticed. In addition, my spying abilities were stronger than ever.
...
A massive pack of wolves surrounded a nine-person group deep in the forest. With at least thirty wolves in the pack, even an average E-Class Degu User would have difficulty escaping.
"Young miss, We will provide you with an opportunity to flee, so run as fast as you can in the opposite direction when I give the signal," a middle-aged man said calmly.
"Alfred, if we fight them one by one, we can escape together; we just need to devise a plan to lure them one by one," the girl said bravely.
"No, young miss, I know you don't want to abandon us, but don't worry, we can escape, we just don't want to put you in danger, and you'll just be in the way of the fight," the butler said confidently.
"Yes, young miss, just leave it to us," the others agreed.
"Y-you" The girl looked at them with a touched expression, then regained her composure and looked at them with a determined expression.
"OK, but promise me you'll all come back!" the young girl exclaimed.
She understands that the butler was correct; she would simply become extra baggage once the fight began.
But before she could flee, the pack leader howled loudly, and the wolves imitated him.
They charged at them with ferocity, and the butler began to panic. He purposefully released his aura at the beginning to warn the wolves of his strength... He had the capital as a D-Class person, but he didn't expect the wolves to ignore his aura and attack them.
If he had been alone, he would have been confident in escaping and even killing three or five wolves in the process, but their young miss was still present, and they are now surrounded. Furthermore, they are unfamiliar with the terrain.
This thought of his occurred in a split second, and he decided to quickly activate his ability, causing a blue fire to erupt in his left hand. And in his right hand, the temperature dropped and icy thorns appeared.
