Mel came to the empty courtyard behind the inn and glanced at his proficiency panel.
[Steal] Proficiency 960/10000 [Mighty Slash] Proficiency 5300/10000 [Back Hop] Proficiency 8402/10000 [Cut] Proficiency 30/10000 Effort Points: 9676 Intelligence: 4 (Attribute Points) Skill Points: 24 Money: 1007 Oren Storage: Wallet, Water Skin, Mineral Water Bottles ×49, Cola Cans ×50, Bandit's Sword (Damaged), Alcohol ×9, First Aid Bandages ×6, Cloud White Medicine ×3, Disposable Anesthetic Syringes ×4, Chocolate Beans ×2000.
After finishing the mineral water, he had not thrown the bottles away. Perhaps he could go somewhere else later and slowly sell them off. During this period of adventuring, he had barely used any alcohol, while Luke and Milka had used up some bandages and medicine.
He had already eaten all the food. He was getting a little sick of chocolate beans, though they were fine once in a while.
"Looks like I should put adventuring on hold for a while, consolidate these skills, and think about what I should do next. If I really want to learn magic, I need to take it seriously."
Mastering magic in a short time was clearly unrealistic.
While he was not adventuring, he could increase his Steal practice to twice a day. Three times was still a little too much, though it did not seem impossible. His only concern was that draining his magic power might damage his body. He was still just a child, after all, in the middle of growing up.
"Alright, then let's start with 200 Back Hops."
Mel began practicing Back Hop. After practicing for so long, he had grown used to this level of exercise. Even suddenly quadrupling his training volume did not affect him much. He just needed to rest well after finishing for the day.
