And so, from his loud shouting of anger, the animals of the forest couldn't sleep that night.
"Huh, just let's see what does this useless ability do!
[Jump lv. 1]
[As the level of the skill increases, you will be able to jump higher, longer and faster.]
"Ah, if i level up, it will be useful, guess i should learn to keep calm better" said Theiko.
"I guess i should now continue following the pathway for the Village".
Then, to Theiko's mind came an idea "Why don't i go to the Village, jumping to both increase my level skill and to get to Village at the same time. I'm really killing two birds with a stone."
So, Theiko started jumping and jumping.
30 minutes later "The Pathway is finally ending!" He said with a tired look on his face.
His legs were all sweaty and trembling.
"I really am jumping since 30 minutes ago without stopping! Let's check how much my skill leveled up"
[Jump lv. 9]
[You are now able to jump for 1.4 meters]
"Wow, that's a lot, but wait... MY OTHER STATS INCREASED?" Said he, discovering that both his strengh and stamina had increased.
Strength: [5 --> 6]
Stamina: [5--> 8]
"Guess, all that sweat and pain wasn't all thrown up, huh?" Said he with a satisfied face.
"But now let's now finally go to the Village!"
As he surpassed the pathway, he left the forest and in front of him there was a huge plain.
In that plain there was a small village, the Nefio Village.

"So, i finally reached my former home, even though for him ti was more of an hell"
He got closer and closer to the village.
Until he stepped in it.
"Yeah, finally i reached home!"
When he was all excited for having reached home, that didn't last for long as a mom of one of the bullies, she came to him and asked him "Where are the others? Why did you return alone?"
Theiko became super nervous at the question and answered "I don't know, Ma'am, they said that since i was an ant, i wasn't worthy of walking with them, so they kicked me out of their group"
The mom, then, said to Theiko, who was clearly doing the victim, "Oh, sorry little one, i know that they have been pranking you a lot, but they are young and so sometimes, they act wrongly, please forgive him for me"
Said this, the woman after said "Sorry for the disturb and thanks for your time, Young Theiko" and then left, mumbling witg herself "If he ever comes home, i'll show him what real bullying is!"
"I think he'll never come home" Thinked Theiko in his head.
"Let's get to my home, now!"
After 5 minutes of walking trough the village, he finally reached his home.
It was a shabby place, not cleaned, old, but atleast it was better than the rotten house, in which he was locked by the bullies.
As he entered the place, he saw that the house was filled with scraps and things, which brought him the memories to when the former Theiko used to steal the thrown scraps to sell them.
But, aside from all the other things in the house, he saw something, a poster, that he had stole always from the garbage.
That poster brough him an important information "Shit, the day of recruitment is the 30th of November, but i don't know which day is today!"
In fact, every year, the Kingdom of Zuth, in which Theiko lives, sent experts everywhere in their lands to look for talents and that day was near.
"What day is it? What day is it?" Theiko asked continuosly himself, thinking about it, until...
[Today is the 30th of November!]
[Today is the 30th of November!]
The two systems both answered at the same time giving Theiko the answer that he needed.
"Today's the 30th, shit, i have to hurry to the centre of the Village, where the recruitment is supposedly been doing!"
So, he started running to the place, with all his mighty and he reached there in three minutes.
As he reached the place, he saw a sexy and strong woman.
She was a sexy and a strong woman.
With red hair and red eyes, she had an awesome body, she was the typical example of Milf. She had a light armor and a sword on. She was on her thirties.
"Guess, there's already a later, someone like him will never be recruited" she said with a strict tone.
"But i wanna be recruited, ma'am!" Theiko shouted with all the air in his lungs.
"Chill, handsome, i was just joking, ahahaha! We were just starting, so go to the line and quickly!" She said first with a joyous tone then with a strict one.
She then said "Hi, my dears, today as you know it's the recruitment test to decide who will be chosen to be recruited to the Central Academy!"
Then, as the few people that were there, including Theiko, said in choir:"Academy??"
"Why are you all surpriesed, the posters all said that the recruitment today was for the academy not for the lowly army, in fact i am Alin Carley, a sword instructor in the academy!" She said all proud of herself.
Then, one of the people there asked a question "So when will the test for the army be?"
"It will be on April 30th" She said angered about the insolent question, that made look the academy shit, when it was, instead, the best academy of the Kingdom of Zuth.
"Now are there any other questions?" She said and no one lifted their hands.
"So now who doesn't feel to do the test, can leave..." as she said that all of the people left.
They didn't left because they didn't like the academy, but since it was more prestigious, the test was hard as shit, much more than the army one, which scared them.
All of them left, but not one.
That one was Theiko.
