The following day, Henry woke up early in the morning, feeling more refreshed than ever. He must have built up stress due to yesterday's activities.
He took a bath and started using his phone after he got out. His plans today were simple. He wanted to report to the guild association later in the day and sell the beast core he got from the E rank dungeon. He was also planning to go to a D rank dungeon.
While using his phone, he checked his email out of habit. He then found a transaction made to his bank account, the one he shared with his family. Confused, He opened the email and found that a transaction has been made yesterday.
As he read the number transferred to his account, he was even more confused as it was 3000 dollars.
"What the heck is this? Is my luck so good that someone would send me money for free."
He dismissed the silly thought since it was unlikely. He opened his bank app and checked his transaction history. Upon so, he found James name under the recent transaction.
He called John but his phone was out of service. Arthur didn't know how to contact John's to give him the money. He saved John life to repay the debt of the gunman saving him.
He didn't want to be further indebted to him, nor anyone. As he had no contact information, he decided to leave it for now until he saw John in the future.
"For now, I should head to the guild association. Maybe I will see him there."

A person stepping outside the house in the early hours of dawn would inevitably be cautious in their movements. Well, they might end up accidentally waking up their family members, after all.
This is why Amelia Everett was silently trying to open the front door to her home, so that her brother and mother wouldn't wake up from their sleep, as she was about to leave for school.
But then,
"You're going to school?"
"Eh?"
She was taken by surprise when a voice came from behind her, and she quickly turned around to look. She saw her big brother, Henry coming down from the stairs.
He was wearing a simple white T-shirt and black shorts. He was yearning while scratching his stomach.
"Big bro, you're already up?"
"Yeah, Been awake for a while. Hey, have fun today and be careful on the road."
"Uh…. Sure."
Amelia stared at her brother while opening the front door.
'Now that is so strange. Big bro actually woke up before I did….'
Henry was not a lazy type, it was quite the opposite since he's always the first one to start the day until now simply because she was unusually industrious, which was quite unfitting for her age group.
'Now that I think about it…'
Her older brother's body seemed broader than before, for some reason. Not only that his eye color seemed to have changed.
"Huh, no way. Maybe I'm imagining things."
Just as Amelia shook her head and was about to leave, Henry suddenly pulled her back and pushed an umbrella into her arms.
"Uh?.. Why an umbrella?" Amelia voiced out confused.
She then shifted her gaze towards the sky. It was still early dawn, so the sky remained dark, but it seemed to be more or less clear and cloudless.
"It doesn't look like it's going to rain, though?"
"Just take it."
"But, it's heavy!" Amelia complained with a pleading look but it had no effect on Henry as he remained firm.
"Stop exaggerating, will ya? Just take it with you. Besides, it's a folding type umbrella so it doesn't even weigh anything.
Slam!
Henry closed the door after bullying his little sister.
"Geez.... Acting as he feel like."
Amelia lightly kicked the door a couple of times to express her dissatisfaction, folded the umbrella and shoved it inside the empty space in her school bag, and turned around to leave.
"Uh, wait a minute."
She paused her steps after remembering the difference in the eye levels between her and her brother. Something wasn't right.
His eye level had definitely risen up higher compared to before.
"Did he suddenly grow taller in one day?"
When he came home yesterday, he was his usual but now he had suddenly increased in height.
There was no way that could be true….
Amelia shook her head again and hurriedly walked towards her school.

Click!
After locking the door, Henry entered his room and sat on the edge of his bed. There was a matter he had resolve right away.
"Stats."

He hadn't distributed his skill points until now.
The issue was….
"….This is tough."
Indeed, he found it rather difficult to come to a decision.
All of his skills are undoubtedly useful and powerful. 'Fire Control' can be used for long and close attacks. Fire Immunity gives him high resistance against fire which he finds useful.
Dragon claw is a powerful close range skill, dragon scales gives him high defense against magical and physical attacks. Fire breath is a extremely powerful ranged attack and dragon eyes enhances his vision and perception.
Therefore, he didn't know how to distribute his skill points. Normally, he would improve the strongest skill but all of them are extremely useful.
Fire Control
No doubt, this is a powerful ability he can invest in and be satisfied with the results.
Fire Immunity
Pretty useful but not the most important right now.
Dragon claws
A wonderful ability, that's for sure. Opponents with low defense won't be able to defend against it. Heck, he even thought he could cut through the B grade armor with ease.
Dragon Scales
Another wonderful ability. Weak opponents won't be able to scratch his skin when active. A good skill to invent in.
Finally, Dragon Eyes
An ability that enhances his sight and allows him to perceive mana in his surroundings.
After thinking for a while, Henry had finally made his decision. To distribute them evenly.
He spent two points in Fire control, Fire Immunity, dragon claws, dragon Scales, Fire breath and dragon eyes.

"So then, I guess that's it." Henry laid down on his bed, satisfied after seeing the final results.
『Ding! Quests have been Unlocked!』
『Warning! Failing to complete quests will result in consequences!』
The system's voice suddenly echoed in his head while Henry was laying down on his bed.
