After seeing the effects of the boots, Leo couldn't help but be pleasantly surprised. Usually with common items they only give the user extra stats, it's extremely rare for them to give the user a skill.
Looking through the skill Leo started to think about what kind of affects it could have in a battle. After a couple of seconds of contemplation, Leo realized how helpful the [Dash] skill really is, it could allow him to completely change the flow of battle.
Once everyone was finished looking through their rewards Marcus yelled out for us to leave through the portal that appeared where the boss died. After stepping through the portal Leo once again found himself in that same forest from before with the rest of his party. Once Leo was fully out of the portal he saw a familiar face looking at him with expectation.
"What level have you reached?" Thomas asked with an excited voice waiting for his son to answer. "I have reached level 9 and have unlocked my third skill [Bite]." Upon hearing his sons words Thomas couldn't help but feel a little disappointed "Only level 9? You couldn't even reach level 10?" After Thomas said these words, very little was said between the two with it ending with "Disappointing" said in a monotone voice as Leo was told to leave and return to the manor.
Arriving home Leo quickly ran to his room and instantly collapsed onto his bed. The next morning Leo woke up feeling the best he ever had, Feeling this Leo decided to see how his status had changed since he last checked.

Seeing his stats when compared to when he last checked Leo couldn't help but smile as he got up and walked towards his mother's room.
[One month later]
Leo found himself in front of a large 3 story building with a sign out front stating "Adventurers Association". Leo walks inside looking around for where he can sign up to be an adventurer. After finding the appropriate floor Leo signed up and sat down waiting for his turn to be evaluated.
5 minutes later "Leo Windward" was called out from the next room, hearing this Leo shot up excited for what grade he would obtain. "Ok, Mr Windward please show me your abilities then attack that dummy over there." Hearing this Leo used his transformation skill and dashed towards the training dummy. Whilst sprinting Leo activated his bite skill and as soon as he arrived infront of the dummy he chomped down on its neck causing a number to appear.
"Power level of 125, D rank" was all that the man said before he left to grab the next examinee. Hearing this Leo was once again disappointed thinking that shouldn't he at least get a C rank? What will his father think?
Arriving home Leo followed has father's command and immediately went to Thomas's office. "You will be entering a level 20 portal in two months time. Don't disappoint me again." Was all that Thomas said not even bothering to look up from the documents on his desk.
Returning to his mothers room Leo made a vow to himself that he will grow stronger intill no one can look down on him like his father did today.
Following this Leo spent the next two months training non stop honing his five year old body getting used to his new powers. Until it was finally the day where he'd enter a portal again and prove his worth to that old man.
