With the Wall-Hack at Level 10, Leo was already able to find monsters from 100 meters away, which greatly increased the speed at which he found monsters. After all, while he was running in a straight line, Leo could see monsters that were in a radius 100 meters to the left and 100 meters to the right as well.

Since the hunting speed had increased so much, Leo was able to complete the experience points needed to make Wall-Hack max level a few hours ago, and all the next experience he received was being put into Speed-Hack until that skill reached Level 07, after which Leo decided to return to the city. Even though it was still 9 pm and Leo had a few hours to continue hunting before the city gate closed, he was not only tired physically, but mentally as well. Today he had spent practically 12 hours hunting monsters, and although the amount of Experience points was very rewarding, Leo felt that he wouldn't be able to hunt tomorrow due to possible muscle pain and mental fatigue.

What consumed Leo the most was the use of Speed-Hack for much of the day. His body was prepared to withstand 100% use in activities, but for safety normally his body only used 80%, and only with a lot of adrenaline in dangerous situations did he really release 100%. But with Speed-Hack, Leo's body wasn't using 100%, but 170%!

As much as using this skill was very practical and useful, Leo only used it at some critical moments and then deactivated the ability. When the skill deactivated he had to stop and rest for some time.

Today was the time Leo had most used Speed-Hack ever, and this skill certainly helped him a lot to increase his hunting speed, but it was still a dangerous skill to use for a long time. The skill reminded Leo of one he saw in an old anime where there was a character who couldn't use jutsus and could only rely on his physical strength, but this character used an ability called 8 Inner Gates, which unlocked the hidden potential of the body of the user, but in return it left the user very injured afterward.  He felt that Speed-Hack was like this skill: even though it gave him very strong power, increasing his base agility by 70%, after using this skill Leo was also very tired.ρaꪁⅆa ꪁꪫꪚⅇ​ꪶ​

Of course, Leo's tiredness was nowhere near the 8 Inner Gates, that in the final stage would kill the user in exchange for great power. Leo's Speed-Hack only required the user to rest and eat a lot to regain energy. If after some time he uses the skill and wouldn't rest and eat enough, then the user's muscles would be at risk of atrophying.

To ensure that something like this didn't happen, Leo ate a lot after battles in which he used Speed-Hack and actually started to feel the opposite effect than he imagined.

The principle of people going to the gym was that when lifting weights, the muscle fibers would break and 2 other fibers would grow in place of the broken fiber, thus making the person stronger. Leo found that when using Speed-Hack, some of his fibers were breaking down, but when he ate again, the fibers were growing back in an artificial way, apparently as a way for the system to compensate for the use of the skill. But by doing this a few times while doing squats, Leo found that after eating a few times the maximum amount of squats he could do was increasing.

'Crap, this really should be called a Hack. Can even gym be this simplified? Since Speed-Hack has hidden effects, can other skills have it too and I just didn't find out yet?' Leo was shocked as he thought about the results and ran back to the city.

On the way back, Leo killed some Bronze 4 Star and Bronze 3 Star monsters to accumulate Exp points. After raising the Speed-Hack to Level 07, he was left with only 940 points, and that would not be enough for him to go up to Bronze 3 Stars, let alone Bronze 4 Stars. When Leo arrived at the entrance to the city, not only did he manage to rise from 940 Experience points to 8,610 Experience points, he also had some ideas to test with his other skills. 

During the hunt, Leo only took the most valuable parts of Bronze 3 Stars monsters, while leaving the Bronze 4 Stars monsters intact. Even though Bronze 4 Star monsters could be sold for a price a few times more expensive than Bronze 3 Star monsters, Leo didn't want to expose that he could already hunt Bronze 4 Star monsters. Only the old man could know that the "Group of hunters that Leo was part of" managed to hunt a Bronze 4 Star Vulpi with "a lot of difficulty". The truth that he could singlehandedly hunt Bronze 4 Star monsters could be left to be revealed after he joined the Military University.

When he got home, Leo lay down on the bed and thought. 'Tomorrow will be the entrance exam for universities. I hope Chris can also come with me to the Military University.'

If Chris had at least reached Bronze Rank 2 Stars, he would definitely get a spot - even more so, considering that he had become an Awakened so recently. It would make his talent even more evident.

'If I'm lucky, Chris can even become the disciple of a Professor or Dean of the Military University, so I can get some benefits without having to accept anyone as a master.' Leo smiled at the thought of that possibility.

To make sure nothing went wrong, Leo texted Chris and Liza, confirming that they would be going to school tomorrow even if they were sick or injured. After all, if they missed it would be a disaster for their future careers.

When remembering Corporal Joseph who helped him by giving him the tip on when the entrance exam would be, Leo was very grateful, since if it wasn't for this information he wouldn't have been able to become so strong in such a short time without worries.

ρꪖꪁⅆꪖ ꪁꪫꪚⅇ​ꪶ​ 'Kindness must be repaid with kindness, if he needs my help in the future, I will definitely help,' Leo nodded to himself in the dark before bed. Tomorrow was going to be hectic.
