KINETIC

After Leo had woken from his dream, he decided that he would just stay awake until it was time to leave.

He went through his daily quest and after completing it, he noticed that there was something strange about the rewards.

[Daily quest]

Run 5 kilometers (Completed)

Do Core Strengthening for 1 hour (Completed)

Run through every hallway in the academy (Completed)

[Rewards]

- 1 Stat point

'Hmm? Why isn't there any XP?'

'I dont know.' Dreifus replied.

'Without a way to gain XP, I won't be able to level up.' Leo was said with a concerned expression. If he couldn't level up, then he wouldn't be able to get more skills from the system.

Of course, he could always figure them out naturally, but using the system was far quicker.

'Don't worry about it too much, I'm sure there are other ways to gain XP. You leveled up from a quest yesterday, so it's not impossible without the daily quests.

Leo tried to calm down while he nodded in agreement with what Dreifus said. Leo opened up his stats.

'Evolution... Whats an evolution?' Leo asked.

'When a creature evolves, it changes and becomes stronger. Often the creatures appearance will change. Usually a creature that has evolved will be considered a new race or species.' Dreifus explained in a way he thought Leo would understand.

Leo mostly understood what Dreifus was saying, but without an example, he couldn't grasp it completely.

Leo tried opening the evolution screen to see if he could get more information.

[Evolution Available]

[Error : Unable to evolve]

[Source required]

'Do you know what a 'source' is?' Leo asked.

Dreifus didn't reply, which gave Leo his answer. He decided that he would look into this later, for now he needed to get ready and meet with the others by the academy entrance.

A little while later Leo left his room and went to meet with everyone else. He walked out the front entrance of the academy and could see Lieutenant Anders standing with several other people in military uniforms.

The people around Lieutenant Anders were all a rank above Leo. When Leo exited the building, Lieutenant Anders saw him and stopped his conversation while waving Leo over to him.

Leo obliged his silent request and walked over to the Lieutenants group.

"Ranker Leofalor, it's good to see you." Anders said.

"Likewise, Lieutenant." Leo replied.

"These 5 are the officers that will be accompanying the rankers groups. They won't be interfering with you unless it's completely necessary." Anders explained.

Leo looked at the officers. It was clear that Leo didn't seem to hold any of them in high regard. The look on Leo's face showed his lack of respect towards them.

"This boy doesn't seem to have any respect for his superiors. He didn't even attempt to greet us." A male officer said with a scornful expression directed towards Leo.

"Come now, you know he's new to..."

Leo interrupted Lieutenant Anders. "Respect should be earned. Being one rank higher than me doesn't mean anything. I respect the higher ranks because they have worked hard for their positions, but an officer? That's a rank obtainable just by sitting around for a few years. If you want my respect, then do something to earn it." Leo said with a cold expression and emotionless voice.

The officers were too stunned to speak. The one that originally spoke about Leo's disrespect looked like he might explode from how red his face was getting.

Sensing the conflict that was about to happen, Lieutenant Anders intervened "Ranker Leofalor, that carriage over there is for you, your assistants are already inside. Please climb aboard and wait for departure." He pointed at a carriage about 20 meters away.

Leo nodded and walked away. The officer that was angry began to loudly complain, "Lieutenant, why didn't you reprimand him for his disrespect! "

"Are you stupid or was he right about you achieving your rank simply because you've been here a few years. It won't take long before that boy surpasses us in rank. Not to mention the fact that he is capable of destroying a wall with the flick of his finger. You should learn to respect those with more power than you, even if they're of a lower status." Lieutenant Anders walked away, leaving the officers stunned at his words.

Leo climbed into the carriage he was told to use. Sitting inside were all his friends, Cain, Clay, John and Rene. Although the carriage was just for the assistants and rankers, Rene was brought along by the others, so nobody questioned why she was in their carriage.

Everyone greeted each other and after only a few minutes, the carriage began moving. Although Nila would be joining their group, she was only going to meet up with them once they arrived.

"How much do you all know about monsters?" Leo suddenly asked.

"Well, there are several different tiers of monsters, each tier represents the power the monster has. You're also much more likely to get a crystal from a higher tier monster." Clay replied.

"If I remember correctly, the different tiers are Common, Uncommon, Rare, Elite, Legendary, Royal, Mythical, Divine." Cain stated.

"They're the same as the crystal tiers but with some extra tiers added in. Why are there more tiers of monsters? How do the crystal tiers match up with the monsters tiers." Leo asked.

"The tier of monster you kill will effect the level of crystal you could get from it. If you kill a Rare monster, then you will get a rare crystal. Since there's a tier of monster between rare and legendary crystals I assume that's why you're confused." Clay Paused to see if he had made an accurate assumption.

Leo nodded.

"An Elite monster will also give you a rare crystal but the difference between Rare and Elite monsters is that an Elite monster is more likely to give you a crystal. Also, the size of the crystal is likely to be bigger as well." Clay explained.

"So if the monster is between crystal tiers, then it just means that the odds of getting a crystal of the tier below its own is increased, as well as the quality of the crystal?" Leo asked, making sure he understood everything.

"Yes. That's how they work in regards to crystals. The rest is more important though."

"Please go on then." Leo said.

"The strength of a monster increases with its rank. The difference between each rank gets larger as the tiers increase. A common and uncommon monster aren't too different in power, but an Elite and legendary have a massive difference in power. The first tier where a large difference occurs is at the Rare tier." Clay explained.

"How do you know so much about monsters?" Rene asked.

Clay looked a bit embarrassed "I always wanted to be a monster hunter as a child, so I studied them all the time growing up." He answered with an awkward smile.

Everyone thought it wasn't too uncommon for a kid to want to fight monsters and be a hero, but to study them so extensively seemed a bit much.

"Let's just get some rest. We should be there within an hour or so." Leo said. He then lay his head back and started to do some core strengthening.
