Gorn quickly filled all his ten slots with this exact creature. Having finished his job, he relaxed. The jumper ate peacefully while looking around.
'That fellow is so cute!'
Fluffy white fur coupled with round black eyes, and his small stature made the jumper look very cute. The creature had a plant-based diet and was not aggressive. There were no known cases of such a creature attacking humans or other animals. After eating its fill, the animal disappeared without a trace.
'What an amazing ability!' gasped Gorn. He was extremely eager to try it himself.
That wild boar ability was also very tempting. There were quite a few monsters with bizarre abilities, however, his slots were limited, and the special monsters were hard to find.
'This blink skill will be amazing for escaping danger, and for moving around. Next, I need something for defense, and something better for offense.'
Sneak attacks or poison could not be avoided just by blinking away. You had to be alive to be able to do that. At the same time, it was pointless to be able to run away only to die later.
'What now? Should I return to the city?'
Going back until he obtained the jumper's skills would be safer, but Gorn decided to remain.
'I also need to complete the system upgrade mission.'
Being extra careful Gorn roamed the wilderness while not venturing past a certain point. Soon, evening came, and with it the results of his battle.
Battle report:
10 wins; 0 losses
Total loot: 2000 gold.
Sadly, he didn't obtain the skill on his first try.
'Even though I'm five times stronger than the jumper, being able to win ten out of ten times would be impossible if the creature focused on escaping or used certain tactics.'
Taking this factor into consideration Gorn could deduce a few important things about how the system worked. As for what he managed to do throughout the day, it was not that much. Gorn killed only one more monster with a power level of five hundred. There was plenty of prey, but most of it had a power level below five hundred.
Monsters with special skills were also hard to find under normal circumstances. Then again, it was also just a single day of hunting.
With each passing hour, Gorn got more confident in his ability to survive. Confidence, however, did not mean abandoning his careful behavior.
In the blink of an eye, three days went by. During this time Gorn managed to hunt three additional reapers with a power level of at least five hundred. In this area, reapers were the main predators.

"Finally!"
Blink(Lvl3): Can teleport a maximum of three hundred meters in a certain direction. If the location cannot be seen, the teleportation place will be random. If wished the user can also teleport something else with him, weighing no more than three hundred kilograms.
Now, after obtaining the much-awaited skill it was time to test it. What followed were two hours of constant blinking around the area.
"This is so satisfying!"
The energy required to use it was minimal, and the effects were extraordinary.
"This skill is wonderful as a trump card."
The skill was perfect for a sneak attack or for escaping. Its efficiency also depended on its secrecy, so Gorn decided to try not to use it easily in public if possible.

After some consideration, Gorn abandoned his night vision skill. The skill didn't make a huge difference at this power level. His abnormal sight was already more than enough to be able to see in the dark decently.
During these days Gorn encountered quite a few reapers. Their madness skill was very peculiar. Luckily, not all of them possessed it.
He did not know exactly what it did, but its name and the visible effects were pretty explanatory themselves. Such a skill could prove to be problematic so Gorn chose to let it to the side for the time being.
Having finished his objective, and even more than that, Gorn chose to return to the city. It had already been almost a week since his departure. During this time he learned, and checked quite a few things.
As a disadvantage, he wasn't able to sleep at all during this time. It wasn't very hard to spend multiple days in a row without sleeping, but it wasn't pleasant either. One foot in front of the other, one blink after another Gorn reached the city in almost no time at all. He was very happy, and his disposition was great.
"Now, I just need to find a comfortable place and sleep to my heart's content. As for the mercenary test, I'll do it after that."
Upon entering the city Gorn decided to give Lora a call, to tell her that everything went well. It was only polite to do so since she might be worrying for him.
"What is this?!"
As soon as he opened the phone, countless messages started to arrive from Lora. It looked like something might have happened. Gorn quickly called her.
"Are you ok?" asked Lora in a hurried way.
"I'm fine. Did something happen?"
'She surely wouldn't make such a fuss only because she was worried about me, right?'
"Mattew injured your sisters. We are currently at school, in our class. It's a mess here so you better come quickly."
It was like a huge rock suddenly fell on his head. His real family wasn't here, nor was he overly too attached to the twins, however, the idea that someone dared to attack people close to him made him very angry.
The phone broke into pieces under the power of his grip. A huge rush of energy inundated his entire body.
Bending slightly Gorn dashed towards school at full power. Wherever he landed a small crater was formed due to the force exerted.
"What is that?!"
It was chaos wherever he passed through. Normal people could not even tell what happened.
.
.
.
"As I said before, I acted only in self-defense, nothing else," said Mattew while shrugging his shoulders. Behind him stood two burly men, apparently his bodyguards.
Next to him was a middle-aged man, very similar in appearance. "My son has a point. Based on what happened here last time to him, I propose to call things even, and move on."
The principal and Sara were also present. They had a complicated look plastered on their faces.
"Are you fucking stupid?!" yelled Lora from the other side of the classroom.
"Just look at these girls. It's already been a few days, and their injuries still look so bad. Furthermore, it was three versus two, and those two gorillas are not from the younger generation."
Mara and Nora were beaten almost beyond recognition. Their beautiful faces looked now more like a pig's face than anything else.
"Calm down Lora," said Carl, the school principal.
At this point, the window shattered to pieces, and Gorn landed right in the middle of the classroom.
