Chapter 13 - New Body Skills

Hermann was considered to be one of the greatest geniuses by the orphanage. Normally they wouldn't allow such young kids to wander around the city but as he displayed a frightening amount of intelligence they reluctantly permitted it.

Hermann used this freedom to aquire as many skills as possible. However he restrained his thirst for improvement and went to ask his system a few questions beforehand.

H: [Hey system why don't I get any new quests?]

H: [Fine...I'll try]

H: [Awesome, accept all. Seems as though I have work to do]

Hermann already had a plan to acquire a few new skills but to make it more effective he had to train a few of his already existing skills. One of the most important ones was the Creation Skill. If he could create matter externally it would help with the acquisition of new Skills without needing any materials. But before he was at that stage he would simply acquire and level fighting Skills.

As for needing any techniques they weren't necessary as Hermann noticed that with each new Skill or a level up of a Skill he would get new knowledge about fighting and inspiration for further training.

As an example the moment he acquired the Tailor Skill he suddenly gained inspiration about design and method on how to best sew clothes as well as how to choose the most suited cloth.

So after he used his new Stealth Skill to escape from his observers he ran into the forest that was located behind the orphanage. Not long after escaping into the forest he came across a clearing located next to a small stream. There he stayed and prepared to practice.

H: [System play 'Born for this' from the score]

And with that out of the way Hermann got into a fighting stance for fist fights he had seen in a martial arts movie. Slowly he started shadowboxing while recalling the movements. After a short while the system gave a prompt

As soon as Hermann heard that he stopped and started to ask himself a few questions. And shortly afterwards he started to experiment. He stood still and with his newfound martial arts knowledge started to simply punch again and again and again. Until he heard a prompt

H: [As I suspected. Although I have Skills that cover an entire area I can still generate new skills]

And so this day he trained his body and got the new Skills Kicking and Evasion. Kicking gave the same bonuses but for kicking while Evasion gave +3 STA and DEF as well as a 5% chance of completely evading a projectile or attack. Additionally he started to climb on the trees around him which gave the skill Climbing that gave him + 5 STA. With that he completed his first quest and earned the reward. But as it was getting late he did not pay attention to it and saved everything for later. Before ending his training session as his caretakers were surely frantically searching for him he checked the Skill Fusion option.

H: [How is the maximum level defined? What level does it correspond to?]

H: [OK then Plus Ultra it is]

After that being said he refocused on his surroundings and quietly left his new training spot only to make plans for his next training.
