Chapter 10 - New Body Skills

Hermann was considered to be one of the greatest geniuses by the orphanage. Although he wasn't allowed to do much unsupervised the staff already allowed him to play independently and do a lot of things by himself.

Hermann used this freedom to aquire as many skills as possible. However he restrained his thirst for improvement and went to ask his system a few questions beforehand.

H: [Hey system why don't I get any new quests?]

H: [Fine...I'll try]

- 500 system points

- 1 Lv. For a random Skill>

- 400 system points

- 1 random weapon>

H: [Awesome, accept all. Seems as though I have work to do]

Hermann already had a plan to acquire a few new skills but to make it more effective he had to train a few of his already existing skills. One of the most important ones was the Creation Skill. If he could create matter externally it would help with the acquisition of new Skills without needing any materials. But before he was at that stage he would simply acquire and level fighting Skills.

As for needing any techniques they weren't necessary as Hermann noticed that with each new Skill or a level up of a Skill he would get new knowledge about fighting and inspiration for further training.

As an example the moment he acquired the Tailor Skill he suddenly gained inspiration about design and method on how to best sew clothes as well as how to choose the most suited cloth.

So after he used his new Stealth Skill to escape from his caretakers he ran into the small area that was located in a corner of the backyard of the orphanage. Although the caretakers often visited the backyard to watch over the playing children they seldom visited the remote corners and disliked to look between the large bushes and trees because it was almost impossible to look through and the plants grew in close proximity to each other making it especially difficult to traverse for people with a wider frame. Because of this Hermann had decided to use a small clearing inside this place as a training area. As long as he returned on time for meals and group activities he would be fine.

H: [System play 'Born for this' from the score]

And with that out of the way Hermann got into a fighting stance for fist fights he had seen in a martial arts movie. Slowly he started shadowboxing while recalling the movements. After a short while the system gave a prompt

As soon as Hermann heard that he stopped and started to ask himself a few questions. And shortly afterwards he started to experiment. He stood still and with his newfound martial arts knowledge started to simply punch again and again and again. Until he heard a prompt

H: [As I suspected. Although I have Skills that cover an entire area I can still generate new skills]

And so this day he trained his body and got the new Skills Kicking and Evasion. Kicking gave the same bonuses but for kicking while Evasion gave +3 STA and END as well as a 5% chance of completely evading a projectile or attack. Before ending his training session as his caretakers were surely frantically searching for him he checked the Skill Fusion option.

H: [How is the maximum level defined? What level does it correspond to?]

H: [OK then Plus Ultra it is]

After that being said he refocused on his surroundings and quietly left his new training spot only to make plans for his next training.
