6:28 AM
Leo was awake, lying in his bed and staring at the strange thing at the right corner of his sight.

42 % > 43 %

The numbers from yesterday didn't disappear, in fact they went up. Leo didn't know what they meant, but he wanted numbers to hit the 100 % mark when he was alone in his room.
Climbing out of his bed, he put the numbers at the back of his mind and started his morning routine: worked out, showered, made himself a meal.
After doing all that he went to the shop located in the Astrum base, bought some new clothes and other medical things. Bringing down his money to a whopping 3 Pecunias :). Double checking he had everything he strolled out of the base confidently.
While walking towards the forest he noticed some people also heading to the forest. Because of his transformation ability Leo had improved eyesight and in the distance he noticed the cyan hair girl he was teleported with.
Feeling someone gazing at her the girl turned to look and was met by purple eyes. She was some distance away, but she had an ability called ' Eyes of Mana '. This special ability allowed her eyes to have a lot of eye related abilities from seeing far to seeing one's Mana flow. She immediately saw the boy she was interested in before.
The girl almost tripped, not only did the boy somehow change his hair color to pure white and became more handsome, but his Mana's flow was changed as well, it looked like it was changing it's path every time it made a circuit. One has to know that changing Mana flow was so painful that some would even consider it far worse than death and yet this boy before her was changing it every minute without even flinching. She decided to tail this boy.
Leo felt shocked when their eyes met, he couldn't fanthom how could one's eyes be this deep.
' How did she know I was looking at her ? '
He thought and redirected his gaze towards other students playing it off as if their eyes met by accident.
' Well, I'll better get going, I have a lot hunting to do '
He murmured and walked in the fog surrounding the forest.
After Entering the forest he checked if the numbers went up, but to his surprise another line appeared under the percentage.
_______________________________
47 %
Speed Boost - 1.5 Times

Leo quickly understood that the percent are affected by Mana density. He made approximate calculations and found out that it will take 5 hours more for the number to reach 100 %.
Quickening his pace Leo jogged deeper into the forest searching for the beasts. While running he saw a large group of magical beasts devouring another beast. Leo noticed that they ate even bones.
He wanted to collect the teeth from these beasts but taking out a large group was beyond his capabilities. Changing his direction he ran searching for lonely beasts he could take down.
Not far from him a girl was trying to keep up with him, but couldn't quite match up with his pace. Training one's body for 6 years and reaching Awakener's Rank made his speed faster than a normal Awakener's Rank human. The girl was stupefied by his speed.
' How can an Awakener Rank human achieve such speed '
She thought and ran after the boy.
After a few minutes of running Leo felt something following him. His 6th sense was very strong, since he got a beast transformation. He quickly analyzed that following him was a human.
Not wanting to be tailed he increased his pace and started running away. After a few minutes of such chase the other party seemed to give up seeing that Leo was increasing the distance quickly.
' Why was a human following me? '
Leo mumbled annoyed, because he wasted half an hour of his limited 5 hour time.
Suddenly his muscles tensed up and he threw himself to the side. Moments after a huge set of jaws closed where his head's previous position was. Leo felt a shiver run down his spine, but collected himself and slashed the beast with his daggers. The beast was left with a deep wound on its back. It tried to attack Leo again, but without a surprise element it met its death in a few minutes.
Leo was at least 2 times stronger than he was yesterday, hence hunting Magical Rank beasts was very easy. He was weaker than Elite Beast, but was able to stand his ground against it for a few minutes. Yesterday he defeated An Elite Rank beast, because of an unknown power that surged up within him, but he felt that it was merely a fluke.
Leo was the type of guy who didn't want to live on the edge everyday, he wanted to be confident in his own power and not rely on luck and fate.

Leo had already spent more than half of his time hunting the beasts inside the forest. Today he collected 6 teeth overall. Right now he was in possession of 12 teeth from beasts.
He accessed his watch to check out how much he still had till being recalled to classes.

' I have a lot of time '
Leo thought after looking at the time limit.
He chose the GPS setting in the watch and started walking towards the Astrum Base. He wanted to hunt closer to the base, so he wouldn't accidently be late returning to his room.
& After Some Time &
White haired man with a smile was seen walking into the Base. That man indeed was Leo and was happy, because he hunted another 2 beasts before returning to his room.
While walking towards his room he saw a lot more people than he saw on his first day. Some were wearing uniforms and some casual clothes. His watch's band and exceptional appearance made him a target of many gazes, which made him a bit uncomfortable.
After closing his room's door Leo went to the bedroom and fell on his bed.
" Let's see what these percent mean "
He said and concentrated his sight on the numbers.
