Chapter 26 - Focus

He jumped on his bed and let his body fall down. He stayed like that like an idiot looking at nothing for a while.

After some time, John got bored at looking into nothing. He recited Status inside his mind.

'Status'

After they finish the formality and signature signing at the agency earlier. The mission was immediately finished and the system sent a notification but John chose not to look at it at that time.

Now that he has time, he decided to put his free attribute points into use.

"Hmm… Where should I put this? I should first add the three points into the vitality points to make it twenty."

Then he put his hands on his chin as he rubbed it.

After a while, he decided to just dump it all to the strength for now.

Maybe he can use it if he is ever in a fight or something. Better ready than late…. That is wrong, right? Hahaha.

Then he looked at his screen again. Of course the only changes are the points that he added.

[Attack: 22]

[Vitality: 20]

Also, because he added points to the Vitality stats,his health points increased by thirty points.

[Health: 200/200]

This is fine for now.

Then he looked at the tokens that he had. It is more than the amount that he first receives which is 100 tokens. And that time he was also lucky(?) there is suddenly a discount on the system shop. And he bought the item box.

This time, he is also expecting a discount. But he did not see one after a few swipe on the system interface.

So he just gave up the thought of a discount. For now that is.

Maybe in the future there will be another discount. There will always be hope when we're alive.

John decided to go rest for now as he is still tired because of this hectic day.

I hope tomorrow will be a good day.

Then he closed his eyes and let his body relax. And he fell asleep after just a few minutes. Showing just how exhausted he is today.

….

The next day, John is already awake before even the sun rises up to the sky.

"Hah!.. Hah!.. Hah!.."

John is swinging a stick just outside their house, trying to get a feel on how to use a sword by swinging this wooden stick,

slashing it and thrusting it around.

The sound of the wind in his every swing started to have a sense of rhythm into it as he continuously slash around with his stick.

The eyes of John slowly lost its color as only pure color black remained. But still John's hands keep swinging and swinging repeatedly without any signs of stopping.

This is not because he fell unconscious or something bad to him. This is only the result of him giving all his focus to the swinging that he did not even feel the tiredness in his body. He is like a robot that just kept doing the work that it is programmed to do.

Time flies as John is still training his slashes. There is now a visible improvement in his moves that makes it look like he has been doing this for months.

After one more final slash, John dropped the wooden stick and he continuously panted hard.

"Hahh.. hahh..hahh…"

"Hahh… I know that I can just buy the swordsmanship skill… in .. the system.. shop but, kahh…. So tired."

John chose to not buy the swordsmanship skill on the system shop because it is a waste of tokens in his thought. Also he reasoned that he is still young and should move around his body more to not become like those modern kids who know nothing but laze around inside their home and will early because of health problems.

"But luckily, this intelligence stat is actually a great help in keeping my focus, huh."

What John is talking about is the thing that he discovered about the intelligence stats. The stat is just for the mana, but also equal to the capability of his brain. Meaning that if he keeps increasing that Int stat it will make his brain more capable like giving him some kind of ability, like now. The ability that the Int stat gives currently is the ability to focus on anything.

It is a great help in many sorts of ways. An example is in studying. Sometimes we can't study because it is noisy around us or there are many distractions that surround you. With the use of the focus, you can just not care about those things as you are focused to the max on doing your study. Ain't that great

John hopes to discover more abilities that he can use in the future because of this.

He walked with his exhausted body back inside the house and went to the kitchen to grab a water.

After he relieved his thirst, he looked at the sun that is already in the sky. At the same time the sound of the bell started ringing.

*Ding* *Ding* *Ding* *Ding* *Ding* *Ding*

It sounded for six times signifying that it is already six o'clock in the morning which is the time that the people here wake up.

"It's already six, I should go and wash my body." John said as he sniffed his body causing his face to turn ugly because of the smell.

He hurriedly entered the bath and took a shower.

Dang, I stink.

He scrubs his body meticulously with soap that doesn't even have a smell.

I really need to make a soap that smells good. Or maybe there is something like that in the system shop
