Chapter 360 360: Do it!
Chapter 360 360: Do it!
I couldn\'t believe my ears. 18 points instead of 180 points? Was my ultimate offensive skill not as powerful as I thought?
I pondered whether the scarecrow\'s immunity to defilement was due to its nature as a scarecrow. It was a realization that came too late.
"No, actually, I did expect it," I admitted to myself, realizing the limitations of my techniques against the scarecrow.
But knowing this didn\'t change anything. I was determined to give it my all for the next 30 seconds.
"Ugh!!" I grunted, frustrated by the limitations I faced. I was known for my formidable practical combat skills, and yet they seemed ineffective against the scarecrow.
Nevertheless, I had no choice but to try everything I could.
"Personality Elimination kick!!" I shouted, launching a drop kick infused with the attack skill "Assault," which I had learned from goblins.
Whooosh!
The impact of the accelerated drop kick struck the scarecrow\'s vital spot with precision. If it were used against a living creature, it would have seemed almost inhumane.
I earned numerous medals of honor as a result, and a sense of accomplishment washed over me.
[Achievement: "Brutal Personality Elimination" Unlocked!]
[Reflexes +1!]
It was a wonderful feeling, despite the limitations I faced. I was determined to make the most of the remaining time and give it my all.
Determined to improve my performance, I set my sights on a higher goal. "2,000 points? No, let\'s aim for 10,000 points!" I declared, my voice filled with determination.
I unleashed my next attack, channeling all my strength into a powerful kick. "Personality Expel Kick!" I shouted, pouring out every ounce of energy I had. The seconds ticked by slowly, each moment feeling like an eternity.
As the 30 seconds came to an end, Sol, who had caught her breath, calmly inputted the combination. "30 seconds over. 79 points," the announcement came, crushing her hopes. Sol realized how pitiful her DPS was in this world, and it felt like the distant spectators were mocking her.
She whimpered inwardly, wondering why this supposedly protagonist-shining event had gone so wrong. Her mental state was shaken by the harsh rating she received.
"Next, two minutes," the instructor declared, signaling the start of the longest interval. Despite the disappointment, Sol made up her mind to give it her all. She stretched out her fist, pouring all her might into each strike.
Swoosh.
"Apnea, personality discharge," she shouted, unleashing a flurry of attacks. Achievement after achievement unlocked as she relentlessly assaulted the training dummy. The river, the solar plexus, the cock screw, the elbow, the flying knee kick—she unleashed a barrage of strikes, feeling as if she were sprinting at full speed.
Gasping for breath, Sol pushed herself to the limit. "Two minutes over. 252 points overall," the instructor announced, and Sol couldn\'t believe it. Her score was lower than Sylvie\'s, her cute and endearing childhood friend with her swaying large breasts. Could Sylvie be 100 points stronger than her own breathless, personality-driven onslaught?
"I cannot accept it!" Sol thought, her pride wounded by the result.
Drake, the S-rank Hunter, tapped the panel where Sol\'s evaluation was to be inscribed. "I didn\'t participate in the previous measurements, Lucas, but I can see that your mindset has changed," he remarked.
Sol\'s heart skipped a beat. Was that a compliment? She listened intently as Drake continued, "Increase the variety of your skills and raise your stats. Delve into the dungeon\'s secrets more actively."
Sol nodded eagerly, grateful for the feedback from the experienced S-rank Hunter. "Yes!" she replied, determined to take his advice to heart.
"Next!" the instructor called, and Sol stepped back, feeling a shift in her arrogance. The realization hit her that, as a Hunter, she was still inexperienced.
Kelly approached, offering Sol a tumbler, breaking the tension. "How was it?" she asked, concern evident in her voice.
"252 points," Sol replied calmly, accepting the tumbler. The phrase "considering you\'re Grade D" stung, but she didn\'t let it show on her face. Kelly quickly realized her mistake and apologized.
"Since my pride is hurt, I\'m aiming for over 10,000 points next time," Sol declared, determined to prove herself.
Kelly raised an eyebrow, somewhat skeptical. "Wouldn\'t it be better to set a more realistic goal?"
Sol\'s eyes gleamed with determination. "It is realistic. Just wait and see."
Deep down, Sol knew that her current rock-bottom position allowed for unique growth. She possessed a growth curve that others lacked, even if it came from a controversial source like "Sex bitch collection." What mattered most was that she could accumulate power without resorting to exploiting countless women.
"It\'s a score that might be possible even for the top-tier among A-rank hunters," Kelly remarked, her astonishment evident.
A mischievous glint danced in my eyes as I responded, "Want to make a bet?"
Kelly flinched, assuming a defensive stance. "What... what do you want me to do?"
I grinned, enjoying her discomfort. "Apologize for not recognizing the D-class genius that is Lucas."
Kelly\'s face contorted in humiliation. "That\'s just humiliating!"
I chuckled, amused by her reaction. "What, did you think I would ask you to touch my chest? I\'m not that lowly of a person... probably."
A hint of relief crossed Kelly\'s face, realizing that my request wasn\'t as degrading as she initially feared. Still, she protested, "But what about Sylvie?"
I shrugged confidently. "I believe Lucas can do it."
Sylvie, who had been silent until now, finally spoke up. "It was only 8 points before..."
"8 points?" I repeated, surprised by the revelation. "...It\'s already incredible now. Hehe."
