Chapter 5: Dragon Tamer(S)
Rabbits'' movements significantly increased their speed, as though Max''s words riled them up. They were much faster and more aggressive, which sounded pretty troublesome.
Yet, Max didn''t find himself in a precarious situation. He felt at ease, for his mana adaptation was on a higher level than those little monsters.
''If you increase your speed, I will increase my reading speed,'' Max smirked, craning his head to the side, avoiding yet another white rabbit.
And as the group of five ck rabbits shrunk distance with him, Max followed the mana''s flow. He let out a kick, sweeping the grasnd before himself and killing all ck rabbits in one move.
''Some dojos lessonse in handy,'' Max thought while dodging and attacking rabbits; his moves fluid and not disturbed by his constant thinking.
He wasn''t aplete amateur when letting out a punch or kick. He knew important postures for offensive and defensive. He wouldn''t close his eyes inbat ormit anymon mistakes.
And because of his superb ability to read mana''s flow, Max would rarely miss his targets. Everything lined up for him seamlessly, allowing Max to slowly establish dominance in the grasnd.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
As time went on, the rabbits reached their speed''s peak. Yet, they were still clueless about Max and how to deal with him. Their intelligence was also set up to be nearly non-existent; thus, the little creatures worked on their instincts.
And even those didn''t help them, other than raising their speed and reactions. Their opponent simply excelled in their best areas.
BOOM!
"And that''s thest one," Max wiped the sweat off his forehead, casually uttering those words. He had his eyes on the timer all this time, having it all in his control. He knew how much he needed to fight.
Now that he had finished it, Max looked forward to the system''s second quest.
[You have finished your first quest, A testament to your potential!]
[You have killed 279 ck rabbits.]
[You have avoided all white rabbits'' attempts to hit you.]
[You are the third yer to achieve such a feat!]
"The third? That''s… I see," Max nodded, inferring that the three families also sent their descendants for a good training course.
That news brought a smile as Max would be able to deal with them more than once. He would use this fake world to bully them and steal their treasures, for they hailed from the three families.
The system then passed rewards. For his significant achievement, Max leveled up five times. He was no longer level one and could raise his stats significantly. Because he used fists, the tutorial rewarded him with a ss.
[Martial Artist(Common)]
<o>,m And then, the system gave him a surprising reward, which was a skill. That skill was a result of his third-ce after he had finished the tutorial immactely.</o>
[You have received a new skill, Dragon Tamer(S)]
Max squinted his eyes, "Dragon… Tamer?"
And it was also an S-ranked skill. For a tutorial for newbie yers, this game was pretty rewarding. Undoubtedly, many people dreamt of having a dragon and riding them…
Max chuckled, then started from the beginning.<sub> </sub>
He first looked at his higher level. Now, as it was five, he had quite a few stat points to spend on. His grandpa told him that his mana points were much higher than he thought, so Max didn''t think of increasing [INT].
He split stats into [STR] and [AGL], which stood for strength and agility, respectively.
[Martial Artist(Common) - You can learn martial artists'' skills easier. Your performed skills will deal more damage and have their effects increased by 20%. You naturally gain more health points, [STR], [AGL], and [DEF].]
That was because Max usedbinations of styles he had learned before. He didn''t attend just one dojo, after all. He even went for some boxing a few times. This resulted in him getting this ss.
It woulde in handy in the future.
But from the looks of it, it was clear that everyone who used their body in the tutorial would receive it. Thus, Max wasn''t so optimistic about this ss. But who knew? He perhaps would evolve it in the future as he gained more experience.
"I might visit more dojos, then," Max chuckled as he recalled the past.
Although he wasn''t a consistent student, for he visited dojos in peculiar situations, Max was likable as he never allowed his jealousy to affect others.
That was due to his grandpa''s teachings, of course.
And he even started attending to dojos because he was jealous of some little brat''s cool moves during his childhood. He couldn''t perform them alone, so Max asked his grandpa to take him to the dojo.
Max did a good job attracting the attention of many masters. It was also a good way to vent out his feelings, too. Thus, he spent some time here before getting bored of it.
"Dragon Tamer… I can''t believe they gave me this skill," Max rolled his eyes, thinking that this skill was actually a genuine one.
And by that, he meant a skill that came from the dungeon. The real dungeon on Earth or perhaps even a different world.
Those skills would significantly help Max.
[Dragon Tamer(S) - This skill will help you create a bond with the dragons. If you form a good rtionship with them, the skill connects with the dragon, turning him into your pet. Once trained, you will be able to enve dragons.]
"That''s powerful-" Max said before the fake world forcefully stopped him.
A tremor went through the grasnd. Max''s body was in the center of it as if he was the cause. Moreover, his body felt some unknown pressure trying to draw him somewhere, which hurt as Max had never felt something like this.
Ding!
[Your second tutorial quest begins now.]
[You can not refuse it.]
[The Tutorial''s Quest #2 - A battle against two eastern dragons!]
"Have they actually spotted me?!" Max shouted as he couldn''t believe he would fight dragons in a tutorial!
He thought his real system failed to protect him and his information from the three families.
Fortunately, that was not the case.
For now, Max could only prepare himself against the sh with two dragons.
