Toby Robinson has figured out some facts about his dream system, and they were all really fun to learn.
1. His Secondary Dream Points Will Only Replenish When He's Away From The Dream World.
Toby realised this after he purchased his two new skills. He noticed that afterwards his secondary dream points were slowly replenishing, and the whole process took about an hour until completion. This meant that Toby could purchase any skill available, without needing to save points for later.
2. Skills Cost Less The More You Use Them.
Toby realised this after entering the dream world that night. He once again summoned his sword and shield, making use of his secondary dream points. But now the skills cost less than when he originally used them. Toby summoned the weapons a couple more times, running low on secondary dream points, but achieving his goal of making the weapons free for him to use. He then Toby used his original dream points to start the process fully unlocking the dream beam skill.
3. Tamed Skills Don't Need Dream Points.
After Toby had successfully made his sword and shield free to use, the teenager then tries to do the same with his tamed summoning skill. But to his surprise the skill reduced nothing from his dream points, meaning he could use it as many times as he wants. He then tries this with his other tamed skills, and came to the same conclusion.
4. Tamed Wisdom Doesn't Let You Talk To Browny.
Upon testing the tamed wisdom skill, Toby realised that it was not a skill for communication. But rather for knowing the full skill list and health status of the Bear. Which was an okay skill to have.
5. Skills Get More Powerful The More You Use Them.
With nothing left to do, Toby summoned and practiced fighting with his dream sword and shield, noticing that the weapons have become lighter and more powerful. This was because he had fully unlocked them.
6. The Dream Beam Will Take Forever To Fully Unlock.
As he was floating up into the sunny skies of the Grassland, Toby realised that it would take some time for him to fully unlock the dream beam. And with it being his most powerful skill, the teenager wanted to fully unlock it before going ahead with his plan to defeat and tame Prince Charming. But how long would he have to wait, he wondered.
*********
Toby woke up from the dream state, he has been in the dream world training, but the teenager felt well rested. The sun has not yet risen, so he checked his alarm clock, realising that it was only about ten minutes after he originally slept.
Toby Robinson: It's eleven minutes after ten. But I've been in the Dream World for about an hour, or ten minutes. It's hard to keep time in that place. (Toby thought to himself)
Toby tried to enter the dream state once again, but this attempt just made him fall asleep for real, and he woke up in the morning.
Toby's alarm clock then sounded, waking him up even more. The teenager was now exhausted, and would love nothing more than to sleep a little bit longer, but it was a school day, and he needed to get ready before the school bus arrives.
Toby took his bath, brushed his teeth, and put on some nice clothes. He was now ready for school, looking quite nice as he stares at his reflection, liking what he sees.
Toby Robinson: Oh Toby, I don't know how you do it. (Toby said as he admired his reflection)
"Honey! Breakfast!" (Sarah's voice sounded)
Toby Robinson: Coming!... Toby Robinson, the hero of your dreams! (Toby said in a confident tone of voice)... (Chuckles) Yeah I like the sound of that. (Toby says before quickly rushing out of his room)
Sarah Robinson has made breakfast, it was waffles with warm butter melting on top of it. Toby sat in his spot at the dining table, looking forward to digging into the waffles as his mom was distributing them.
Toby Robinson: Honestly mom, I don't know what I would do without your cooking. Life would have been so much harder. (Toby complimented as his food was given to him)
Sarah Robinson: Thanks for the compliment, but I won't always be here to cook for you. You need to learn how to cook for yourself. (Sarah tells him)
Toby Robinson: The day I start learning how to cook, make sure you have the fire department on speed dial. Because we all know what's going to happen. (Toby admitted shamelessly)
Billy Robinson: Yeah. (Billy agreed)
Sarah Robinson: Well you're gonna have to learn how to cook. You don't want to be my age and get fat because you only eat junk food, do you? (Sarah tells him before taking a seat at the table)
Toby Robinson: You don't have to worry about me, because when I'm you're age I'll already be a successful gamer. Or maybe even an actor, I'm not sure yet, but I'm going to be a big deal, big enough to hire chefs. (Toby tells her)
Sarah Robinson: (Sighs) I hope so, for your sake at least. (Sarah tells him)
Just then the honk of the school bus is heard outside, meaning it was time for him to get going. Toby quickly finishes his waffles, gulping them down like a food eating champion.
Sarah Robinson: Take it easy! You'll choke. (Sarah cautions him)
Toby Robinson: (Gulp) Done! Bye mom! Bye Billy! (Toby yelled as he ran out the front door)
Billy Robinson: Bye! (Billy said with a wave)
Sarah Robinson: Bye. (Sarah said with a slight smile)
The ride on the school bus was an uneventful as usual, and Toby spoke to no one as usual, he mostly kept to himself. But someone spoke to him.
Greg Bullhorn (Toby's Classmate): Hey Toby, buddy, my good old pal. I heard you hit your head on your desk yesterday. (The red haired teenager said in a seemily concerned manner)... I'm surprised that big head of yours didn't split that wood in two! (Greg said before laughing hysterically, making fun of Toby)
Toby Robinson: Get some common sense, Greg. Oh wait, you can't, because you're a moron. (Toby responded calmly)
Greg Bullhorn: Oh, nice one! But do you know what really makes me upset? To have missed you knocking yourself out on that table. People witnessed peak cinema that day, and I missed it! (Greg said before laughing again)... I'm a hundred percent sure people are still talking about it, right now! And will talk about it for many more school days to come! (Greg said with another laugh, this one being the loudest of them all)... (Relived Sigh) Have a nice day at school, Toby. (Greg said before turning away from Toby, and talking to his friend who sat with him at the front seat)
Toby Robinson: (Sighs) Jerk. (Toby thought with a frown)
Toby is now in class, and could hear some of the jokes and comments his classmates were making about him, just like Greg predicted. Not all of his classmates were jerks though, and some came to check up on Toby, like a guy named Lerange Smith.
Lerange Smith: Hey Toby, I heard about what happened to you yesterday. You okay, man? (Lerange asked)
Lerange Smith is an ebony skinned teenager with good looks and a full head of hair, which Toby kinda envied. Lerange's afro made him stand out the most in class, it was his unique look, one that Toby couldn't pull off even if he tried.
Toby Robinson: I'm fine, I just hit my head and blacked out. It's pretty embarrassing so I don't want to talk about it. (Toby explained)
Todd Forager: Mostly because everyone is already talking about it. (Todd commented)
Lerange Smith: Hey everyone! Y'all should just stop making fun of people and move on! It's not that funny anyway. (Lerange announces to the class)
Greg Bullhorn: It is a little funny! (Greg commented with a smile)
Lerange Smith: That's because you find everything funny, Greg. But not everyone is like you, or at least I hope not. (Lerange said before going back to his seat)
Lerange is the coolest kid in the class, and everyone likes him for one reason or the other. Making his words law in most situations.
"Lerange is so cool, do you think he's single." (A girl asks a friend)
"I heard he already has a girlfriend." (The friend tells her)
The class is getting pretty rowdy due to the absence of their teacher, but who could expect more from a man who bikes to school everyday, even though he lived far away.
Fred Clover: Sorry I'm late everyone! (Fred says as he enters the classroom)... My brakes failed on me, I think I might need a new bike. (Fred explains as he wipes his sweaty face with a handkerchief)
Teacher Fred's classes are usually in the morning, and he always comes late for them. It was a mystery at first as to why he wasn't fired because of this. But despite his flaws he's proven to be a good teacher, loved by all his students.
Tiffany Hathaway: I'm all for saving the planet, but isn't what you're doing a bit excessive. (Tiffany commented)
Tiffany is the prettiest girl in class, and almost everyone wanted to date her. But the blonde beauty refused all advances, mostly because she has a little crush on teacher Fred, but will never admit that to anyone.
Lerange Smith: She's right, Teach. Just take the bus like everyone else. (Lerange advises)
Fred Clover: I am very touched by your, concern. But as my grandfather once said. "If you always do what makes you happy, you'll never be unhappy". (Fred quoted the words of his grandfather)
The students begin to laugh at the teacher's old saying, but Toby wasn't laughing at all, because he has just received a message from the system.
