Chapter 3 - Autumn Market 31. 8. 1988: Wednesday day meant for all schoolchildren the last day of the holiday. Some schools only opened their doors on Monday, September 5, but most opened it on Thursday, September 1. The teachers were going to use it to get all their pupils in a holiday mood, to join the team again, and to give them all the necessary documents to allow the lessons to be fully started from Monday. Hadrian did not like to say goodbye to the summer holidays, after all, the freedom he had experienced in two months had never known before, and now his free time was shortened even more. Nor was it helped by the fact that four days after he started cooking and lunch for breakfast, he reached level 5 and the daily task of preparing breakfast! he never showed him again, not that his aunt still didn't require him. However, he did not receive a single exp or level for the cook profession. The only consolation for him was that as soon as he cooked his last holiday lunch today, he would finally reach level 6. At the same time, his status undernourished has changed from time to time. Malnourished: Due to lack of food, your body is weak and you wouldn't survive long without magic. - Penalty: -60% MP! - Duration: Temporary - Warning: If you do not do anything about this, the duration of this status will change from temporary to permanent! He still had no access to his own magic, and he began to think he would get it when he got rid of this negative status. Also got the choice to end the task of collecting forest fruit! before because it has met all secondary objectives. Two weeks ago, when he learned that his aunt had sold all the blueberries, raspberries and blackberries to his neighbors for twice what he had bought from him, he decided not to sell her more than the minimum he wanted in the task and left the rest for his own needs. Although he had the opportunity, but decided to successfully complete the task until the weekend, did not want to risk anything and since Monday had a perfect excuse in that he did not have much time for school. Despite the fact that mushroom pickers began to head for the Kvikálkovský forest, and it was difficult for all clans to operate in full secrecy from these invaders in their territory. As he expected, after completing lunch, he received level 6 and the other three randomly divided points attribute with five free attribute points. But when he saw how much expos he needed to the next level, he knew he wouldn't get it too fast. "I put new clothes in the closet. When you wash the dishes, you can sort it and save it. You won't get the next year, "Aunt Petunia told him, and he doubted it was new clothes, rather another waste she sorted out of Dudley's closet. But he didn't dare to protest, and after completing the kitchen cleaning, he went to his closet to embark on another task he had given him. He soon realized that he was in colors that Dudley hated and so he wore it even once in his life. He himself did not have to brown, but the donated horse did not look at his teeth and was at least for the day that the last meeting of the leaders was held that day. Clans. The meeting was to take place at four o'clock, so he had enough time to collect all the mushrooms he found while avoiding mushroom pickers on the way to the clearing. He didn't have to see them on the map, he heard them miles away, others looked a little less. "Hadriane, we're still waiting for William. Robert, who was probably the most friendly of all the leaders, followed by Adam, Frank, and William completely ignored him from the redemption of the clan flag, which was fully suited to him. "Tomorrow," Hadrian replied, looking in the direction of another group of mushroom pickers. "There were not so many last year. In the last week we have also collected a whole bag of garbage in our territory. If I knew who to complain to, I would send him the garbage with an official letter! "Frank said angrily." The forest belongs to Kvikálkov, is there a representative for our area in the city council? " Hadrian asked, who was not very interested in these things and knew only what he heard from his uncle Vernon. "Yeah, Alan Smith, they live a few houses from us and ride an expensive Bavarian," Adam replied, and his voice clearly recognized that he was a completely useless person who wouldn't move a finger for them. "I'm not too late? My mother was not very satisfied with this year's crop," William said. "You know how it goes, one year is good, the other is worse," Adam reassured him. "Maybe, but this year it is the last time the black team participates in the clan wars. My father got a job in central London and we are moving there and starting Monday for a new school," Jim William announced. "Damn, we're sorry, buddy," Frank said. "Not that your photo has a new job, but you have to move," he added quickly to make it sound bad. "That's good," he waved their regretful speech and looked directly at Hadrian. "I have ignored you for a long time, shrimp, you are the only one of these clowns who almost cost me everything. Don't think I don't know how you helped them all and interfere in every fight when you gave them ammunition stolen. I definitely learned more than I thought it was possible. I mean, I mean that I don't blame you and it was an honor, spirit," William said, reaching out to Hadrian's right, he didn't think too long and without shyness. "Who would say that our pirate Will is able to recognize someone other than his own ego," Robert said, making everyone laugh. "The black clan agreed to be dissolved. Others will decide next year to split between your clans or set up your own clan. You can split everything in our camp. Gentlemen and good luck," William said goodbye to them before he last looked at the flag of his clan and left the clearing. "Damn, that's not how I imagined the end of the holidays," Adam said, and none of them knew what else he should say, and there was silence in the clearing for the next few minutes. "Um, good. I suggest that the black clan will be preserved until the next season. I would also like to mention my mother buys Even the forest fruit, the father will never refuse it. In our bakery it is consumed so much that the crop of the whole forest is just a drop in the sea," Robert offered. "I can sell two liters of raspberries and ten liters of blueberries. I have two full crates of mushrooms, "Hadrian admitted." Do you know where Robinson's bakery is? " Robert was interested and Hadrian shook his head. "You're from Proti Street, aren't you? When you go to Magnoli Street, at the end there is an intersection and a new street, Fire Street and Newton Street start there. Our bakery is on Newton Street two hundred meters from the intersection, "Robert explained to him." Do you think he'll bring you so much there? " Frank said, looking at Robert if he meant it. "Oh, can I call others from the clan and help you? I have nothing else to do anyway, "Robert scratched his head with an apologetic expression on his face." No problem, I will prepare everything to be taken at my campsite. Will you be half an hour? " Hadrian asked immediately. "Yeah, half an hour is enough time to reach you," Robert agreed. An hour later, Hadrian stood in the Robinson Bakery warehouse, where Robert and his friends helped him bring everything Hadrian was going to sell. "I'm pleasantly surprised. For raspberries I can offer you fifteen pounds and for blueberries forty pounds, what do you do? I don't know much in my mushrooms, you have to wait for my wife, but I'm not afraid to say she likes to buy them," René said with a smile. Hadrian agreed immediately and without thinking, it was once as much as he would get from his aunt. "Great. Robert, pour everything into our big containers to get young Hadrian to take his own," René said, going to the cash register to pull the necessary number of banknotes. Just as Hadrian thanked him, a young woman, accompanied by a little girl, joined them. "I thought you were exaggerating when you mentioned two crates full of mushrooms," Robert's mother smiled at her husband. "The young Hadrian seems to be an experienced collector," he winked before returning to the sales room where the bell sounded when the front door was opened. "Did you really pick up all this yourself?" Melinda assured herself, watching Hadrian's reaction. "Yes, Mrs. Robinson," Hadrian replied, and when she saw no sign of lying, she focused on the mushrooms in both crates she began to slowly take and fold on a free table. This took her a good half an hour to verify that all the mushrooms were completely edible and sorted them right according to the drying or brewing. "Fifty pounds, what do you say about this offer?" She suggested to him after she was finished. "Pay!" said for the second time in one hour. "You know you could bargain for a higher price, didn't you?" She assured herself amused, and Hadrian shook his head. "I didn't know, but I wouldn't talk. Robert helped me bring it all, so I'm grateful for any price. I wouldn't even know where to sell all this," Melinda said. "What do you think. Now run to enjoy the remnants of the last holiday day, "she sent them out, and there was no one to listen to it. OOOOOOOOO 3 September 1988: The first two days of the school had escaped like water, so there was no one to throw it in its class other than Dudley. He also told his aunt that he would not be able to bring any fruit from the forest, because most of them were collected and more and more strangers flocked into the forest every day. Fortunately, they accepted his reasoning and together he had a total of money to pay. Submitter: Petunia Dursley (Evans) Description: - You have finally lived and completed a task lasting almost two months. Main objectives: 1. Collect a liter of blueberries! 2. Collect a liter of raspberries! 3. Collect a liter of blackberries! 2. Sales to your aunt at least 15 liters of raspberries! 3. Selling to your aunt at least 15 liters of blackberries! Reward for task completion: 1. 1 100 EXP + 25% = 1,375 EXP! 2. 200 pounds! Hadrian immediately went to his closet, where he hid the money in his inventory and dared not make a single voice. Two hundred pounds were almost the same amount he had saved in the last two months. It was true that eleven pounds cost him new wholesale glasses and did not see them best, but they were the only ones that bothered him at least of all he had tried there. It was also his only option, his relatives would never take him to any doctor, he was rich enough when they had to have a compulsory vaccination with the whole class, and Uncle Vernon did not protest any more because it was paid by the state. Also, now that he finally had a little more money, he was going to buy sneakers that fit him, and socks without holes. He was going to use something to buy bread, although Robinson's bakery was a little further, but he certainly liked their pastry much more than from normal shops or convenience stores. Another advantage was that his aunt and uncle did not know anyone so far, so his visits to the bakery did not get to them, then he would have to answer unpleasant questions. Now he had no choice but to wait for the autumn markets and sales. In one of his diaries, he noted a list of important things he should look for next season. Both for easier transport of forest crops and for improving your camp. But the school year did not only bring positive changes and found on the first day that he had lost a significant supply of daily expos. Aunt Petunia decided not to wait for her to return from school and prepare her lunch herself, this duty remained only on weekends. He originally hoped he could approach the next level at the end of the month, but he could postpone his celebrations as much as possible. OOOOOOOOO 24. 9. 1988: They ran away for another three weeks and Hadrian finally got what he was waiting for more than three months. Autumn markets were here. While waiting, he managed to spend eighty pounds on new shoes, socks and underwear. He also bought useful things for school and more food. He really kept the rest of the money to the markets where people sold not only what they had grown since spring, but also many other things. As soon as he prepared breakfast for his relatives, he went to the nearest market to see everything that was being sold there. He avoided the stalls with food, drinks and preserves, looked at them briefly, but spent the longest time looking at the tables, which were spread tens, perhaps hundreds of different books, magazines and comics. He largely ignored magazines and comics, although he chose two magazines with tips and tricks for passionate gardeners and growers. He hoped to find something useful in them to expand the crop in the Kvikálkov Forest. It was not easy to go through a large number of books, and the man who sold them gave him many scornful gaze, hoping he would drive Hadrian because he didn't believe the boy was going to buy something. But he did nothing of the older man and his search paid off when he finally came across an older book called Isshin-ryu Karate for beginners. He added it to a pile of two magazines and tried to find something else that would be useful to him, but he didn't find more, so he left the booth five pounds poorer. On the local market, he encountered two more book stalls and bought a large cookbook at the third of them, which contained three hundred domestic and foreign recipes. It cost him ten pounds, but according to the announcement that he could learn the recipes by absorbing the book, he knew he made it. The original price tag pointed to the fact that the brand new cost thirty-five pounds. He wanted to go to Nova Street, where a similar market was to take place when he came across a stall with hand-knit hats, gloves and scarves for winter. It was supposed to come quite early, and according to news on TV, they were waiting for the last two weeks of summer weather before it started to cool down quickly. At the end of October it was supposed to be warm for a few days, but the first snow was to come in early November. He bought a dark green scarf, a black cap and silver gloves, which cost him another ten pounds, but he didn't regret this purchase either. It took him half an hour to go to Nova Street to a place where there was an even larger market than it was in Zobi Street. There was also a much larger selection of absolutely everything, and one man even sold gaming computers at a very small price, and Hadrian thought for a while that he would buy one or two, but eventually rejected the idea. His goal was far more important, and the gaming computer was not on his list, maybe in a few years, when his situation improved, but now it was completely unnecessary for him. Compared to the three smaller book stalls in Zobi Street, there was one giant U-letter, where five sellers were selling, and what one didn't have, it was only a step further. To his luck, he found there Isshin-ryu Karate books for advanced and Isshin-ryu karate for experts. Both books belonged to a series of four books, the first of which was bought less than an hour ago. He put both books aside and kept looking, believing that happiness had smiled at him and he was right. Among many titles, he came across two other useful books - The Art of Sword for Beginners and Archery for Beginning Enthusiasts. Both books proved to him as manuals he was able to absorb. These four books cost him only four pounds, the man at the table sold all his books one pound, regardless of their true price. When Hadrian found nothing else for him, he moved a bit further, where he came across the book Archery for Advanced, which he of course bought, although it came to three pounds. He spent another half an hour at the big book table, but eventually found nothing useful, so he set out to explore the other tables and stalls. At one booth he came across something he had been looking for for some time, which was a set of wrenches, screwdrivers and other tools. The new sets cost more than he allowed to spend for them, but here their price ranged from ten to twenty pounds, including working briefcases for their transmission. To him personally, one of the smaller sets would be enough, but he noticed that in one special set there was also a set of differently shaped wood chisels with a picture of what could be created with them. He certainly liked the idea, spent a lot of time in the woods and sometimes didn't really know what to do, and some hobby seemed like a good idea. Only then did another fifteen pounds disappear from his savings. When he checked Saint of his money, he found that he had two hundred and fifty-three pounds, which was not much. Not if he survived from this money until the next season, because he couldn't rely on getting another task to give him money for his reward. Originally he wanted to buy a sword, he also found a stand where mock-ups of Japanese swords were sold, but he was only eight years old, looking maybe seven. No rational adult man would ever sell him any weapon. He also asked if there was another marketplace in the area that he could explore, but there were only two markets in Kvikálkov, the ones in Nová and Zobí Street. Maybe he would have a chance to get to another market if he found a bus connection, but he would never have gone through it, it was a weekend and had to be home at half past eleven to start preparing lunch for his relatives. He was going to avoid his uncle's punishment as long as possible. Even so, he returned home with success. When no one was looking, he kept all the purchase in his inventory, and the absorption of the cook learned two hundred and seventy-six new recipes. He was going to learn the rest of the books until the afternoon or the next day as soon as he managed to escape the house and had some privacy. OOOOOOOOO 25. 9. 1988: His uncle had a special sixth sense to sense when Hadrian planned something or wanted to have some time for himself. He had him under strict supervision all Saturday afternoon and, according to his instructions, was forced to clean up his uncle's mess in the garage. To make matters worse, this continued all Sunday morning, when he cleaned the interior of his car again and if it did not start raining during lunch, he would certainly have it washed outside the car. This is how his uncle locked him in a closet under the stairs and unscrewed him with a single bulb, so he said he wouldn't waste expensive electricity. A little light shone through the gaps around the door and between the stairs, but that didn't bother him, because he saw his inventory and everything else associated with his ability The Gamera clearly in absolute darkness. He decided that if he had no choice, he would learn new skills in his closet. You hold the Isshin-ryu Karate skill manual for beginners. Do you wish to learn this skill? YES / NO Hadrian did not hesitate and confirmed his choice. The book turned into many tiny lights of light blue in front of his eyes, and with a blink of his eye, they drank in his chest. Isshin-ryu Karate - Skill - Type: Active / Passive Level: Beginner Level: 1 Passive Bonus: +1 to STR and DEX (6th level increase). Info: Isshin-ryu karate is a martial art designed mainly for self-defense, but it is not good to underestimate anyone who master any martial arts. Every martial art allows one to use his body as a weapon. You hold the Isshin-ryu Karate skill manual for advanced. Caution: This skill cannot be learned, it does not meet the required conditions! So even if I have a manual for a higher level of the same skill, it is not possible to learn it because I did not reach the maximum level, as was the case with sneaking, which unlocked the new Shinobi skill after reaching the maximum level. He deduced Hadrian and remembered how he used this skill at the beginning of the school year to disappear Dudley's party out of sight and after a successful escape from Harry, he was notified that he had reached the next level of sneaking, meeting the lowest Japanese ninja standards, how his new skill Named. You hold a manual for sword art skills for beginners. Do you wish to learn this skill? YES / NO Sword Art - Skill - Type: Active / Passive Level: Beginner Level: 1 Active Bonus: + 1% DMG Attack when using a sword. Passive bonus: +1 to DEX and WIS (6th level increase). Info: The art of the sword is a very demanding discipline for those who want to devote to it and learn to control all kinds of swords. At the beginner level, this is not a problem where you learn mainly discipline, care for your sword and basic attitudes that can be applied to most sword species. Super! Another skill that gives me an attribute bonus just for learning it. I hope it will be the same with archery. He thought delightedly and pulled out a third book from the inventory, which he could absorb under current conditions. You hold a manual on archery skill for beginners. Do you wish to learn this skill? YES / NO Archery - Skill - Type: Active / Passive Level: Beginner Level: 1 Active Bonus: + 1% DMG Attack when using a bow or crossbow. Passive bonus: +1 to STR and DEX (6th level increase). INFO: Archery is one of the few arts of fighting weapons that has been known to human civilization for a very long time. This skill allows you to learn to control different kinds of bows and crossbows. Over time, however, you will find that different types of bows and crossbows require the fulfillment of conditions for their use, among them mainly a certain level of attributes STR and DEX. I do not think that I will ever become a master in these three skills, but it certainly will not hurt to learn other styles of combat. Especially when I still do not have access to my own magic and in the future it might happen that I come across someone or something that is immune to magic, just like in Dudley's games. Lament Hadrian over his current situation and hoped he would soon have the opportunity to train all these skills. He had no idea where to take the sword or bow, but absolutely nothing prevented him from starting to train karate himself somewhere in private. When he fell asleep that evening, he had no idea that very soon he would have the opportunity to train all three kinds of combat and begin a journey that would change his future from the one others had been planning for them for several years. OOOOOOOOO 13. 10. 1988: It was just Thursday and Hadrian was just spent about the same way as all previous Thursdays since the new school year began. That day, the lessons were shortened, with the fact that during the last lesson the class teachers were supposed to tell them some news about school competitions and their class was to host a rare visit during this time. "If you are quiet," Mr. Johnson, who was Hadrian's class teacher this year, and no one had a problem to obey him. "Thank you. Before I start explaining, I would like to announce that I expect the best behavior from you. Our guests come from a different culture and although no one wants you to know their habits," He warned them right at the beginning and called one of his pupils to give each one a copy of A4-sized printed paper. "Before our precious guests visit, the school has decided to participate in national competitions this year in several subjects. Some competitions are intended only for higher grades and some can be attended by you. Before you start to rejoice, there is a long way to go to the national competition and you have to advance from our school round for the first time before you compete in the knockout round against the representatives of the nine neighboring schools. Only from this part do you have the chance to advance to the national round, "he explained to them the basics and looked around the class if everyone was careful." The following competitions are open for your year and age category. Art competition, mathematical competition, poetry competition and sports competition. Because some competitions will take place over the same dates, Unnecessary hope. "Teacher, what rewards await us if we win a school round and maybe more?" He asked one of the class squints who refused to accept anything other than the best ranking in everything. "Of course, the school round winners will receive a diploma, less sweet and of course our school round. Or indulgences from possible written tests or oral testing at the board," Mr. Johnson replied, and Hadrian nodded that he understood everything he had told them and began to think about how he could take advantage of this situation. He knew he wouldn't last long, and his relatives would learn from his school about his grades, which he refused to keep below Dudley's level. At the end of last year he managed to scramble to the border of above-average students and right from the beginning of this school year attacked the highest ranks. He owed this mainly to the player's mind and the attributes of INT with WIS. "I'll let a list of your names circulate among you. Next to your name there will be four boxes, in which you write numbers from one to four depending on the competition you prefer. These competitions are not mandatory, so you do not need to fill in these boxes if you do not want to. Also, you don't have to fill in all the boxes, just one, "he gave them instructions to fill in the application form." Mr. Teacher? " Hadrian signed up. "Yes, Mr. Potter?" "Will the approval of our legal representatives be needed to participate in the competitions?" He asked him an important question, the answer of which he meant his next course of action. "I don't know the exact details, Mr. Potter, but it won't be necessary to participate in the school and between the school round. Mr. Johnson replied, and Hadrian knew he had just been given a great opportunity to push his relatives into a corner and get enough freedom from his education. "Thank you, Mr. Teacher," he thanked him for the answer, and as soon as he got to the list, he enrolled in three out of four. Competitions. In the first place was a mathematical competition, the second was an art competition and finally a sports competition. The poetry competition did not address him personally, so he left the box blank. "Now please pay attention to the class," he said, pulling all his glances again. "From the end of this month and early November, afternoon clubs and study programs will open. The number of vacancies in each ring or program is limited, so first time comes to get to the ring or study program. Our city and the Ministry of Education, who expect this to be more interested in younger pupils in wider education. On the paper I gave away, you can notice the list of activities offered and the day with the time they are taking place. If you are interested in a ring, I have individual applications on the table. Hadrian went to study at the list of leisure activities that the school intended to provide them, and although he did not want to sacrifice so much free time, he also decided to do his utmost for his own studies. Unlike his classmates, he also had a great advantage due to his special skills The Gamera. "You can come to me after this lesson for club applications. Now please welcome our special guests, "Mr. Johnson said, and the whole class stood at attention when opening the door. The three characters came into their home class. None of the three were of European origin, which was only to be seen by their skin color. He was the most impressive of the three new arrivals. His waist. He even had his beard braided in one braid and Hadrian would bet on all his money, that he was at least twenty-five centimeters long, but thirty certainly not. This man was also dressed in a light pink kimono with a floral pattern, which was quite unusual, especially for men. Eastern Dragon - Akira Yuki - Lvl. - Master Aikida and Karate - - Eastern Dragon Doja instructor - Lin Feng - Lvl. "Thank you for your warm welcome, teacher Johnson," Master Kurokyu nodded in his direction before turning to a class full of eight-year-olds. "I wish you all a nice afternoon. My name is Takumi Kurokyuu and I am the Doja. Selected martial arts, whether it is a fight purely using your body or using a weapon," Master Kurokyuu introduced them, and in the eyes of all pupils present, sometimes more admiration flickered. "Our dojo has moved to Magnoli Street, where the old houses were demolished during the spring and the last three months we built an environment for training not only martial arts, but also places that give its visitors a chance to get to know Eastern culture and look into history and traditions coming from several Asian countries." Willing to sacrifice not only time but also energy to learn something new, which can happen to their lifestyle, as it is for many of us. Controlling martial arts is not just about how to kick someone's ass, but mainly about discipline, knowing yourself and establishing balance in your own soul. Those who would like to abuse our teachings to bully and terrorize others will quickly find out that there is no room for us and will lose absolutely all the respect they could ever deserve, "added Lin Feng, who differed from his two colleagues despite the fact that many pupils could not discern. "During this Saturday, the gates of our doja will open to the public and all visitors will be able to see a demonstration of what we can teach you. Our dojo will be open from 6am to 8pm every day, regardless of whether it is a holiday, a working day, a weekend or another holiday. The lessons are both group and individual, and it also derives from the price, which is not exactly small, but it depends on how often you want to attend lessons, "Master Kurokyu explained to them." Personally, I believe that discipline and health movement is something everyone needs, to a lesser or greater extent. Because it was the perfect place to train at least his karate style. He wasn't hoping that he could train the art of the sword or archery there, but he couldn't do it in private, because he didn't have the necessary means to train - weapons. At Isshin-ryu Karate, he managed to advance quite quickly, but he felt slowly slowing down and there was a certain obstacle that he would not be able to beat without help. Hadrian signed up and waited to see if he was given permission to speak or not. He had one or two questions he had to answer. "Mr. Potter?" Mr. Johnson asked him, and Hadrian stood up. "Master Kurokyuu, is I ISSHIN-ryu karate taught in your drug? And is it necessary to have the permission of legal guardians if I want to visit your dojo?" Hadrian asked almost the same as he asked his class teacher barely a quarter of an hour ago. "Our dojo can boast four instructors who master the art of karate and its various directions and variations. I am personally a master of this style and Akira-chan is expert, the other two instructors have only advanced knowledge, but because they are experts or masters of other directions, "Master Kurokyuu replied to the first of his two questions." Permission of legal guardians is not necessary in the true sense of the word, although they have to sign some documents concerning None of us also expects to have enough money to pay lessons at this age, which is another thing we will deal with with your parents or guardians, "Yuki added to his second question. "I understand. Many thanks, "Hadrian thanked, and sat down again. Their guests answered a few more questions, not paying much attention to Hadrian and thinking about how to achieve his goal. None of the adults ever helped him, although they were found, and their guests were always going to rely on their own class., The pupils stood back to attention, and at the same time also rang at the end of the lesson. Many of his classmates immediately went out into the hallway and then into the locker rooms to arrive home as quickly as possible and announce their parents news about the newly opened Doja. Hadrian, Hadrian, what can I do for you?" Patrik smiled at a glance, and he wouldn't have said it last school year, but now he was proud of how quickly Hadrian managed to climb from the lowest positions to the highest. At first he was suspicious, no one improved so fast, so he took a job to find all the tests and grades Hadrian had ever received. He didn't have to be Einstein to realize what was actually going on. For the first few weeks of the school, his pupil was very attentive and had a very excellent rating and grades, but everything changed after the first report of study results for parents. For a while his results were chaotic, but very quickly he found order in them and only shook his head back at how Hadrian was capable. Every time he was able to get a mark at least half a degree to a degree worse than his cousin, but again he never dropped so that he was at risk of forfeiture. This pointed out that he knew perfectly the subject matter and at the same time had to know exactly what his cousin knew and to adjust his answers and tests accordingly. Why this was the case, Patrik could only think and had several theories, but without Hadrian saying anything or he himself revealed sufficient evidence, his hands were tied. Nor did it help that Vernon Dursley had some influence in Kvikálkov. "Could I get entries in the Foreign Language Circle, Music Exits and Art Education?" Hadrian asked him. "That's a big choice. If you go to all three circles, you'll have very little time to study regular subjects. Do you really believe you can believe that I can believe that you can trust you. You've been hiding your intelligence for years, and your grades don't match the real reality, it's not easy to handle this onslaught," Patrik assured himself that his pupil understood the gravity of his decisions. "I'm sure, Mr. Teacher. My future depends on my education and the greater my scope, the worse it will be for those who want to tell me what I can and what I don't, "Hadrian replied." If you think you can do it, then I can trust you. "You reminded him and the sooner I get back to these rings," he reminded him., Hadrian filled all three of them right in front of him and returned them with a smile. Then he just said goodbye and left his surprised teacher in an otherwise empty class. On the way from the classroom to the school library, where Hadrian was going to hide from the harsh weather and the presence of his relatives for a few watches, if he went home, he read three new task alerts. Task notice! (New task) Title: Art competition!

Yes / No This is not the first time I see the extent of a possible reward. If I meet the main goals and the bonus side goals, I get the maximum number of expos and money and a mysterious reward. If I do not reach the first place, but at least I will be high enough in the national competition, I will still have a chance to get a large number of expos and money. There is also the possibility of a third reward, which may vary by location, so it is hidden. Hadrian thought about what he had read and accepted the task without thinking. Task notice! (New Task) Title: Mathematical Competition! Type: Optional sponsor: Patrik Johnson (class teacher) Description: - Mathematics There is no science for you and you know your numbers. Show everyone on the islands that you're a genius with numbers. Or not, and become just a step for those who have more talent for numbers and also covet recognition. Main objectives: 1. Get 1st place in the final round Mathematical competition! 2. Get 1st place in the inter-school round of mathematical competition! 3. Get 1st place in the school round of mathematical competition! Side goals: 1. Place on the national round winners scale! 2. Place in the top 5 national round! 3. Place in the top 10 national round! Reward for task: 1. 0 - 9 000 EXP 2. 0 - 250 pounds 3.? Penalty for failure to complete the task: 1. Your chances of free education will decrease dramatically. 2. Uncle Vernon's anger. Do you wish to accept this task? YES / NO It seems that mathematical talent is not appreciated as artistic talent. Only Hadrian thought and adopted the second of three new tasks. Task notice! (New Task) Title: Sports Competition! Type: Optional sponsor: Patrik Johnson (class teacher) Description: - The sports competition is not the same as other competitions. As part of this competition, you can participate in several disciplines for individuals and groups of more pupils. Let the best win! Main goals: 1. Stand on the podium of the final round in three individual disciplines! (0/3) 2. Stand on the podium of the final round in one group discipline! (0/1) 3. Get 1st place in the inter-school round in three individual disciplines! (0/3) 4. Get 1st place in the inter-school round in one group discipline! (0/1) 5. Get 1st place in the school round in five individual disciplines! (0/5) 6. Get 1st place in the school round in three group disciplines! (0/3) Remuneration for task: 1. 0 - 15 500 EXP 2.? 3.? Penalty for failure to complete the task: 1. Your chances of free education will decrease dramatically. 2. Uncle Vernon's anger. Do you wish to accept this task? YES / NO I understand why Mr. Johnson told us that some competitions may overlap in time. If not, the task would be for me to win five individual and three group disciplines from start to finish. The question is, what should I attend? What am I really good at? Hadrian asked himself, knowing that group disciplines would be the hardest for him. After all, Dudley was still deterring anyone who wanted to be friends with him, and therefore, even in physical education, no one wanted to be in the group to prevent the person from being the next target of a group of young tyrants with Dudley at the head. Whatever he decides, he certainly had a diverse schedule and a school year. Fortunately, he had a certain advantage over the others and twenty-five free attributes of points he could place at any time where needed. Even so, he wasn't going to leave anything to chance and decided to create a training plan to improve his skills. For mathematics and sports disciplines he was enough attributes, but for the art competition he intended to get his profession as a painter to the highest level and possibly a higher level.

Author's word: 6,860 words using some elements from the original version of the story while adding something new. We are still about a year before the story, where Hadrian joined the doja as a student. I can already reveal that his studies in Doj will be processed a little in more detail and I will add some tournaments and of course tasks. When I mentioned the tasks, I intend to always close some in each chapter or at least add at least one new one. In the original version of the story, I later neglected many aspects of the RPG character and tasks are an integral part of the player's life.
