Tom walked to the chief’s house, and burst in. because of Tom’s new found strength he didn’t just burst in, he also pulled the door and frame out of the wall and bent them out of shape. the chief was scared out of his mind and jumped up grabbing the magic stone chandelier. he was hung there for
a few minutes until he noticed it was Tom.
“Oh, it’s you Tom. I’m happy you’re feeling better, so you can repair the door you broke. a solid door made of -CERLEVITE- only one of the strongest materials in this world, and you ripped it apart from the wall and bend it out of its shape.”
Tom was embarrassed. He stood in an apologetic way, while the chief tried to get down from the chandelier.
“Sorry chief, a lot has happened and I became stronger than before”
“Tom” the chief approached him in a very stern look.
“If any one else would have told me that, I would say they need to go lay down from heat stroke or something, but you, no. I’ve seen you do things no one in our or any village could do.”
Tom shook his head to gather his thoughts and looked at the chief with a strong gaze.
“Chief about that, it seems that my strength is not the only thing that was improved.”
“What do you mean Tom?”
“How could I explain it? Because of my never seen before skill, I got more abilities then I had before, like a skill that allows me to see the stats of everybody, or any thing”
“I don’t know what to say tom”
“The reason I’m here is to ask you for permission to do a small experiment.
I want to see if I can teach the kids that didn’t start to improve their skill path,
new things from other paths.”
“Why would you try this experiment?”
“It may sound crazy”
“Tom, you broke any measurement of crazy we had”
“O.k.” said Tom with a grunt of displeasure.
“Well, after the crisis has ended and I woke up, I had a voice in my head telling me that I leveled up so much that I gained a skill that talks to me and answers any question I have about my skills or any related issues.”
The chief looked at Tom for a few minutes in a stoic gaze, while Tom fidgets out of worry.
“Chief?”
Tom asked nervously as he looked at the chief frozen in place.
The chief shook his head to recover from the haze of the new information.
“Well Tom,” the chief cleared his throat to restore his aura of chief.
“You can teach 10 of our more troublesome kids. The rest of them are helping in the village where needed to rebuild the village according to the blueprints you provided, like brick houses and sentry towers.”
“o.k. After I finish with the kids for today I’ll help with the rebuilding.”
“No, after you finish with the kids you’ll go and rest up. you’ll return to your duties the day after tomorrow.”
“O.k. chief, I’ll be waiting for the kids in the town square in two hours.”
The chief looked at a watch he had on his wrist. The watch has a small magic stone that pulses in regular intervals, the person that found that stones developed a system of measuring time.
Tom left and went to the wall entry where the last battle happened.
The villagers strengthened the wall and started to build guard posts.
Tom looked at the construction happily and then went to the forest.
He wanted to stretch his legs a bit. As he walked deeper into the forest, he saw that the villagers took all the bodies from the battle to be sold for parts.
He decided to stop walking when he entered a large clearing.
He started to stretch his body. When he was done he looked at his status and started to test his limits and to combine a few skills together like fire and water to create steam and he created new skills.
He took a little break and started to gather a lot of rocks, he grinded them with his hands to a powder.
One of his new skills is dimensional storage, which allows him to store anything that’s not alive, so he pulled a few sacks and filled them with the rock powder and created weights.
He tied the sacks to his body and limbs and started practicing fighting.
By doing so, he wanted to gain control of his strength and when he got accustomed to his new strength he noticed that he can move faster and faster than a regular person can see.
When he was about to finish his training he accidentally threw two wind blades
that chopped more than a few trees and created a path.
His face had an awkward shame with a bit of a confused look.
“Palis?”
Tom called for the voice that explained everything to him earlier.
“Yes master, how can I help you?”
“Did I just throw wind blades and clear a large chunk of the forest?”
“Yes, you have leveled up so fast that your body is trying to catch up but the training you did now, made you able to move faster and you still have a gap between your body abilities and your control.”
“So, if I level up at a slower pace, I won’t need to relearn control.”
“Yes”
“O.k. so I’ll pick the wood that I wind chop and carry them to the village at a slower pace to gain control. “
“That can help. but you need to control the urge to go faster.”
Tom picked up all the wood he chopped and started a fast walk, yet it took him but a few minutes to reach the village gate.
“Well that didn’t work as I wanted” Tom thought to himself.
Tom looked up to the sky, and thought
“How high can I jump?”
he dropped the wood.
He jumped. he wanted high and fast that he disturbed a few flocks of birds and scared some high flying baby dragons.
he stopped ascending and started descending. he warped wind around his body like a thin air suit. He got two new skills- hover and flight.
he hovered for a while.
“I can see almost the entire kingdom.”
He heard sounds of battle near the next village. He used his “distance sight” skill to look at the problem. he saw a group of monsters attacking some knights in an escort mission.
he wanted to help them, but from afar so he won’t be discovered.
Then it hit him. he put his hands open up one in front of the other and focused. a bubble started to appear sucking moisture out of the air.
the bubble started rotating and a few small bubbles were shot out like bolts.
They were almost frozen covered by wind that rotated them and thrust them at extremely high speed.
The knight and the monsters stop fighting because of a screeching whistling sound, cutting through the air. A few holes burst in some trees, some of the water bullet pierced the monsters head through and hit the ground creating small impacts signs.
The monsters fell down dead, the knights were confused and frozen in place, but then their leader told them to check the monsters.
Tom was happy.
“new skill achieved: high speed water bullet.”
“O.k. a new one to the list. Now let's see how fast I can fly”
Tom started to accelerate, he first tried to balance himself then aerial acrobatic.
When he finished playing around, he started to accelerate more and more covering the continent side to side, at one point he flew very low and fast above a city, near the mountain castle, that he created a sonic boom that made the castle shake and the windows to crack.
he returned to the wood he dropped at the village gate, to pick them up.
And started to walk to the village wood storage.
“Master, you got a new title, -Frightner of a city. you receive the title because you scared and slightly damage the city by the explosive sound you created by your fly by.”
“Live and learn, Palis” Tom said with an oops look on his face.
Tom left the wood at the wood storage, the manager was shocked by the amount of wood. Tom then walked to the center of town to meet the kids.
When he met the kids, he saw a group of mismatched kids.
Five girls and five boys, all looked at him with “what do you want from us look” in their eyes layered with a bit of fright and a pinch of wonder.
“O.k. kids, all of you are going to be part of an experiment”
All the ten kids in a cohesive manner moved backwards and grouped together.
“At least you're working together. come here and I’ll explain it all.”
Tom sat on the ground and the kids did the same.
“To put it simply, I want to see if you can be taught other skills that are not in your skill path. I want to see if -earth manipulator can use -air manipulator.”
The kids looked at each other confused.
“I promise that if it works, an all new world will open to you. if it fails you at least learn new things you didn’t know. Now follow me for a minute”
Tom led them to the wall, the farthest part from the forest gate. he lifted them all with him on a platform from the ground to the wall. When they stood on the wall, they looked outside the village.
Tom moved his hands up like he was lifting something heavy, and a giant circular wall rose connected to the village wall.
Tom again lifted his hands and a fully formed arena rose from the ground.
The arena was made from stone bricks wood and mattel and had all the amenities needed including spectator seats and a gate to the village and a vendors area.
A few of the kids fainted, the rest froze in disbelief of what they were seeing.
One of the kids, Sheleg, looked at Tom and tried to speak.
“How?...did you?...alone you did…”
“Well yes I did it alone, but I have a skill that allows me to do all that and more. that’s why you are here”
“ What can we do?”
“I think that although I have that skill, you can also learn other things that are not in your skill path. I don’t know if you could also do things like that.”
“Why us?”
“I asked the chief for 10 kids, because I want a large sample and all of you didn’t evolve your skill path, which may make you more open to other methods of doing things.”
“That’s why?”
“That and because your a troublesome bunch, and the chief hopes I could straighten you up”
“That seems more likely” Sheleg puffed his face in discontent.
“Sheleg, go gather all of them, tell them what I told you and go down to the arena. I’m going to create stairs for all of you to go down”
Down on the arena stage the kids were lined up in a row.
Tom took some logs and used wind blades and carved 10 wooden swords.
He gives each kid a sword and lined them in a row.
“Now, I want you to hold the sword in both hands and swing it up and down 100 times in the morning a 100 time in the afternoon and a 100 in the evening,
For a week. After that we will start with sword practice.”
The kids started to swing the swords. As time went by they started learning more things, from sword fighting to hunting, he taught them all.
Tom used one of his skills to check the kids skill status during their practice. He saw that their status hadn't changed but they had a blank section.
Tom used that skill daily and it was upgraded and allowed him a better glimpse at the kids' status. They had another section added, their biological status like health and strength. The blank section now showed a list of their skills but with a bar stating their level.
After half a year the experiment ended. As a kind of graduation, Tom called the chief to the arena with the kids.
“Chief, to show you the result of the training, I’m going to try a new skill
I tried to develop.”
Tom started to focus and suddenly all the kids and the chief got a psychic blast that showed the status frames of the kids as Tom saw them.
All of them were astounded from all that information and skills.
“Tom are telling me that all of us can be like you?”
“Well I don’t know if it will work on older people that have established skill paths or to what extent.”
“But Tom, this result shows that what you said was true.”
“I’m still different, I don’t need a lot of time to learn new skills, and I can combine them as I want and create new skills, add to that that all my status is raising equally but for the kids they are raised by their affinity for the skill”
“What do you mean?” said the chief with a confused look.
“All the kids learned new things but some got higher -hai which allows the to use skill better and longer, some can run faster and some are better at some of the skills but not so good with other skills, also one of the kids develop healing skill because she cared for the injuries, and there were alot ”
“Tom, this is still amazing. I have an idea that I need to research but I will see you in two days in my office, and you kids, you did a good job and continue with what your doing”
After two days Tom went to the chief office.
Inside the office was the chief and a few of the village elders.
The chief stood up and cleared his throat.
“Tom, as you know there are three sister villages like us, spread in a square shape with us. I sent a message to them telling them what you discovered.”
The chief started to walk around his office.
“We all decide that you need to share this knowledge, and teach it to others,
In other words to expand the experiment.”
Suddenly a small sound was heard, it was the crystal voice system, that Tom developed to talk to the other villages.
The system allows a crystal to record sound and transfer it through underground cable to another crystal, so to talk with all the villages you need
a crystal for each one.
The chief answered the crystal. It was one of the other chiefs calling.
After a few moments the chief stopped the call and returned to the conversation with tom.
“O.k. Tom, this is our Idea, we are going to build a school for you to teach others what you know. We going to build one wall around all the villages
And in the center of all that the school will be built.”
Tom looked overwhelmed, and speechless.
“Tom, to achieve all this we develop a plan that has a few stages.
First the wall, second the school, third teachers. ”
“Chief, I think that while the wall and the school are being built even with my help, I think the kids that I thought here should start teaching the other kids here, and from the other villages as well, so we won't lose time.”
“O.k. Tom. one other thing. We, all the chiefs, have decided to combine all the villages into a coalition. Each village will run separately but we will work together to develop all our villages. We also decided to put you in charge of the school and security for the collation. We’ve been hearing that a kingdom far from here started to conquer all non human villages, so your experiment came in great time.”
“I understand chief, I’ll do my best”
“I know you will. “
Tom left the chief office, he gazed at the sky as the sun started to set.
Tom started to walk, strolling in the village.
