Chapitre 5: Tests ⁵ [I]
Chapter -› 5: Tests [I]
As I open my eyes, I notice the sunlight streaming through the window.
*YAWN~ *
"It's already morning?"
I look at the clock on the head of the bed, saying 7 am.
"Already?"
I quickly get out of bed, and go to the bathroom to brush my teeth.
After selecting a set of light exercise clothes, I leave the room.
In the hallway I notice that my mom and dad have gone out to work.
My mother was a cashier and my father a bus driver.
Very common jobs.
"Don't worry, you'll be retiring soon..."
My hands are clenched tightly together.
All my life I've watched my parents work to support me and my sister.
After discovering the system, I thought this was my opportunity to repay them, but due to greater forces I had been slapped in the face.
I pass my sister's room and see that she has left too.
"She must have already gone to the course..."
Before leaving I take a banana from the fruit bowl and go outside.
I chew the banana and throw the peel into a disposable bag then put it in the trash.
When leaving the house my first objective begins.
I want to see how my action-created skills work.
I have an idea how to get started.
I hold my breath and try to move as quietly as possible.
Nothing happened at first... But I had patience on my side today.
After more than 30 minutes of doing this the result came.
[Skill (Stealth • NV:0) has been Learned.]
'That's nice'
I continue to focus on being as stealthy as possible, earning myself some futility experience points.
Step by step I approached I approached the outskirts of my neighborhood.
While I was sneaking around, I tried to notice everything around me.
Above me a pair of sneakers, which had been thrown onto the electricity wire, escaped and fell directly towards my head.
I don't know if it was because I was looking all over the place on alert that I noticed the pair of sneakers falling towards me.
Making an instinctive move, I jump to the side…dodging the pair of sneakers.
[Skill (Dodge • NV:0) has been Learned.]
[Skill (Agile Moves • NV:0) has been Learned.]
[Skill (Danger Sensor • NV:0) has been Learned.]
'Three skills?'
I was surprised. I already knew that [Perfect Body]'s abilities were absurd, but now I had felt them firsthand.
"If it continues like this at the end of the day I've taken 15 new skills..."
"Not that it's bad!"
I keep moving stealthily all the way.
There were situations where I used my new abilities [Danger Sensor] and [Agile Moves], to get rid of inconvenient things. Other than that, nothing else out of the ordinary happened.
Letting me get to my goal.
A small eucalyptus forest.
My house was on the edge of town, a few minutes' walk away and I would actually be practically leaving town.
There weren't many places for me to test my skills without getting people's attention.
This was just the beginning, soon I would have more viable options. But for now this place would help me.
My goal in coming here was to test the limits of skills that were passively acquired.
Of course, only a few of them could be created in this location, but it was enough to euther a base.
Taking a deep breath, I focus on the pieces of dead trees and their branches, diversely scattered.
'This place is perfect for me to perfect my movements...'
Not wasting any more time, I start moving around putting my new [Agile Moves] skill to use.
Passing between several branches, I jump from one log to another until my movements start to take on a more cohesive shape.
[Skill (Parkour • NV:0) has been Learned.]
"That."
I was happy, the skill I always wanted to have ended up coming to me.
"Now I need to turn this into muscle memory..."
I no longer pay attention to my surroundings and continue to practice for hours.
When I finished I realized I spent over 3 hours practicing.
I noticed that my clothes were all wet, due to excessive sweating.
"Xiii, I'm rotten."
Deciding that my training was over, I urgently want to go home for a shower.
On the way back I put all my [Sneak] skill to the test, But even if people can't notice me.
They could still smell me.
Resulting in several curses, by the rotten egg in the street.
"Hehehe, catch me if you can you fuckers..."
I silently return home.
When I get home, I open the door and notice that my father and mother are already home.
'They arrived earlier than usual...'
I close the door and go straight to the bathroom, I didn't want to scare my parents with my stench.
When I'm in the hallway, I hear my dad calling me.
Dad:"Have you been exercising?"
Without turning around and say.
"Yea."
My father, he sighed.
His eyes on me told me everything.
How could I not know what he was thinking? But now I had no more pressing concerns.
"I'm going to take a shower..."
Father:"Go!"
To my surprise she still hadn't noticed my new appearance.
"Well, soon he'll notice..."
