Chương 13: Hunter's Training.
Roger brought a big wooden crate from his room, there were bow, quiver and some arrows.
"Let's start from basics. Archery is only a small part of being a hunter. Tracking, setting traps, stealth and dismantling are most primary skills in our profession! What's most important is ability to read your surroundings." The old man gave him a lecture about basics and forest dangers. The boy felt as his knowledge expanded with the guidance of the old man. He learned a couple of tricks and techniques about survival in bad conditions.
"Take this bow! It's training bow passed from generation to generation. It will be your partner until I decide you are ready!" It was an old bow with a long history behind it. Many generations of hunters were trained with it.
Aron had basic knowledge about posture and aiming from skill archery. Becoming really accurate with bow required practice, boy had talent in this field and his perception was high.
'Difference between improving skills without related talent and those with talent was enormous.' Learning archery, bow mastery or bow making was almost effortless for him. Another advantage was a workshop area with a difference of time flow.

[Archery lv.5(79K/250K)]
The white-haired boy demonstrated his skills before an old farmer. You could feel some jealousy from an old man's expression. Training planned for 2-3 months was finished in a few days, it w
"Kid, you are freak! Ok, I will teach you special skill passed down in my family." It was a version of archery focused on mobility and ability to shoot arrows in different angles or positions of the body.
[Skill Hunter's Archery was generated. Hunter's Archery lv.0(1/250)]
[Name: Hunter's Archery lv.0(1/250)]

[Level cap: 10]
Spring was slowly coming to end. There were only two months left and he needed to hurry with the task from chief. Some plants liked spring moisture and didn't grow at other seasons. Luckily for Aron, his skill with bow and arrow improved pretty fast. It was time to ask Roger for test and set off for first hunt.
[Hunter's Archery lv.5(Locked)]
Skill became locked and increasing level meant fulfilling currently unknown condition. The boy decided to ask his mentor about this problem.
An old farmer was in the middle of his everyday routine, plucking out weeds from fields. Leaving weeds alone cause malnutrition and suppression of crops and vegetables. They weren't called weeds without reason, low requirement of growth and high vitality allowed them to grow faster than other plants.
"Good day. I encountered trouble with my practice. I feel like my improvement halted and I don't know what to do…" Aron was troubled, it was partially true as his skill faced the limit from the system.
"What the hell? Limit already? I understand you have 'talent'…NO FUCKIN WAY! Show me your moves and I will judge myself!"
'Want to see my moves? Huh? I will fuckin show you!' Something childish awakened in him and he started circling around Roger. He shot only four arrows. All of them missed targeted spots by minimal distance. The targets were head, crotch, throat, and heart.
"KID, STOP I BELIEVE YOU!" A few centimeters and he would become a eunuch. All strength left his body and he collapsed on his knees.
"OH? If you are not convinced, I can shoot more arrows!" A mad smile appeared on his face, old man started shivering when he heard 'more arrows'.
"No! No! You are fucking ruthless, kid!" After cleaning sweat from his forehead, he stared at a monstrous kid before him and said.
"There is no such thing as a limit. It's rather your speed of improvement that's the issue. In normal circumstances, you would experience many hunts before getting to such a level of archery." The world didn't predict the existence of logic breaking system in the first place. Roger had inner conflict about taking the boy to forest or not.
"Damn you kid… We need to go to the forest. It shouldn't be so fast…We will go tomorrow at dawn. Be ready!" Old farmer left while shaking his head and mumbling some random curses.
His workshop allowed him to advance in skills faster. All hours spent on repeating the action, again and again, were really working because of system. The practice could improve your skill in real life, though practicing blindly lead to consolidating errors. Aron didn't need to worry about such things as system helps him fix every mistake automatically.
'It would be good to improve sculpting skill too.'
Sculpting became something like a hobby for him. He didn't really know if it was trying to prove his capability to a system or chilling out while improving practically useless stat. It didn't mean much as time spent on creating those 'things' wasn't wasted as it improved his woodworking as well.
[Beginner Sculpting level up!]
[Beginner Sculptor profession unlocked and activated.]
'As I thought, there is a profession for sculpting.' It was great as leveling up sculpting will improve woodworking and carpenter job.

[Boost: +0.1 ART, +0.1 CHA]
'Another job on the list. It's good…I have freaking time tricks at my disposition.'
A few more minutes of working got another skill to the bizarre limit from the system.
[Handiwork level up. Handiwork lv.5(locked)]
[Do you wish to fuse Handiwork and Fieldwork into trait?]
'Their level cap is bigger. Why should I fuse them into trait?'
Both skills assisted him in work, fieldwork made his work at farm easier. Simple skill, yet extraordinary effects. The handiwork on the other hand was improving the capability of his hands, sometimes precise actions would be impossible without this skill.
'Whatever. Do it!'

A number of skills to grind grew, however, it was a good thing for current him. More skills meant more professions, which in the other hand meant strength improvement.
'Hmm, I should invest my points into intelligence.' His goal was to reach 20 of intelligence to unlock another part of his memories, investing those points made him closer to his goal.
