'Okay, lets try again but with using Enhancement'.

'[Enhancement]'

Without realising, Enhancement actually heightened Neo's eyes to make him more perceptive, but because it's only Grade 1 he can barely notice.

Neo was getting used to throwing Needles, so this time he was able to throw 12 Needles in a minute.

30 minutes past which felt like in an instant for Neo, and he was going to go pick up Needles.

This continued until he used Enhancement 5 times, without realising Neo built up sweat.

'Okay! Done, let me look at my Status Window'.

Strength: 3.0

Agility: 3.2

Perception: 2.15

Stamina: 2.6

Vitality: 1.8

Magic Power: 0

Modification: [Reinforcement][Growth][85%][Grade 1]

Skills: Needle Efficiency [12%][Grade 0]

Abilities:

'??'

'What?'

Neo was confused and had nothing to say. He just couldn't explain any of this.

He looked at the digital clock in the Archery Room.

'I still have time, they should be finishing up the class'.

Neo bolted to the elevator, and ran to the class he was in for the first period.

He saw Sam leaving said room.

"SAM! WAIT!". Neo was running as fast as he could.

Sam was confused.

Neo finally catched up to Sam but he couldn't speak, he was too out of breath.

He was panting for 30 seconds and started to speak.

"My Modification. It's growth went up from 50% - 85% when I used my Needles".

Sam clapped before speaking. "See, your mana knows more than you! That's usually how it goes with Growth Modifications when you find something compatible with your character, it happened to a friend of mine".

"Oh? Can I speak to them?". Neo was excited, he would be able to get pointers.

"Ah! They died a few years ago in a high level dungeon, unfortunately I don't know anymore Specialists with a Growth type Modification". Sam was smiling, but something felt off about it. It felt like she was putting up a shield to prevent herself from getting hurt.

"Ah! Sorry, I'm so sorry!". Neo didn't know what else to say.

"Aha, it's fine, he wouldn't mind it".

"Um, last question. Is it possible to make my needles float?".

Sam was going to speak then paused, instead she showed him something.

Sam took out a pen from her pocket and put it on the palm of her hand.

The pen started to float.

"When you learn all three of the Mana skills I said earlier, you should open up a Special Stat known as Mana Efficiency, which is different from the Skills like Weapon Efficienys, and also different to Magic Power, it's quite complicated to explain so when you actually learn all the Mana Skills come to me". Sam waved goodbye and walked to wherever she was going to originally.

Neo had no clue was she talking about so he kind of just stayed there for a few minutes trying to understand what the hell she just said.

Instead of going to sleep or going back to his dorm, he went straight back to the seventh floor to keep going with his Needles. He wanted to get Needle Efficiency before he goes to sleep, and then he needs to find out his Quota.

He catched Mal as he was exiting the Archery Room, whilst he was going in.

"Mal! Where do you find you Quota?".

Mal looked at him like it was an obvious question.

"Your email?".

Mal just looked at him.

"Oh! Thanks!".

Mal laughed whilst waving and walked off.

The time was currently 3am and Neo hasnt slept since 6am this morning. Honestly, his body was used to it as it was a daily occurence in the past, although that doesn't exaclty make it healthy.

Neo occassionaly went out for some snacks, but he didn't have a proper meal.

Neo went to look at his Status Window:

Strength: 3.0

Agility: 3.2

Perception: 2.3

Stamina: 2.6

Vitality: 1.8

Magic Power: 0

Modification: [Reinforcement][Growth][85%][Grade 1]

Skills: Needle Efficiency [7%][Grade 1]

Abilities:

'My perception went up by 2.0 in total today, that's huge. But I guess it's because it's only in the early 2s, I guess when it gets up to 2.5 it'll stop going as fast'.

Neo walked out of the Arhcery Room towards his dorm. Everything was silent, he actually liked this, however when he walked past a room he heard noises of someone whacking something. It sounded like a dummy being hit. Neo would know as he did this so many times during his Academy days.

'Well, I'll just look. Who cares if I look, it won't bother anyone'.

He creeked the door open the smallest bot and the lights were on.

Their was a girl, with a small frame, with pigtails and glasses on.

However, the weapon she uses doesn't reflect that all, actually, It's a surprise that she's able to hold it, let alone swing with it.

A greatsword.

The way she was wielding it was a mess, it was obvious that she couldn't use it properly at all, in the sligthtest.

'Should I talk to her? But I don't know her at all. I'll just leave her'.

"Who's there?". A high pitch voice rang out in the room.

As soon as Neo heard her voice he bolted to his dorm as fast as he could.

Neo was in his dorm, although more specifically in his room. He needed to get some sleep before morning, however he needed to look at his new email he got a few days ago from Pentagon.

He put all the details into a computer and looked in his inbox.

There were three emails. One of them got sent when on his second day here, and had a Quota of:

"-Finding a Main Weapon

-Gaining Grade 2 Weapon Efficiency in said weapon

-Able to wield mana to an extent

Failure to do this by the start of next month, you will be subjected to a Strike, three strikes and you will be kicked out of Pentagon".

A follow up email to that was sent from yesterday, however it was after his time with Sam.

"-Gain Needle Efficiency 3

-Web/Poision Affinity Ability Unlocked.

-Modification Grade 3 (Miss Sam specifically asked for this).

-All stats above 25 (Go see Mr. Smith about your Vitality)

-Attendance at the Specialist Class starting tomorrow everyday. This replaces your Weapon Training, Sparring and Magic Application, on the weekends starts at 6:30 am)

-Top 500 in the monthly assessments, both in Monster Theory and Battles (starting February 1st)

Your Quota has now changed due to being a Specialist. Your private instrunctor will be Sam, however your teacher will be Mr. Zaster for Weapon Training, Sparring and Magic Application. After your Weekend lessons with him, meet Sam straight after.

Failure to do this by the start of next month, you will be subjected to a Strike, three strikes and you will be kicked out of Pentagon.".

It was currently January 3rd.

Neo didn't say anything, he silently cried.
