When he woke up, Ezyze realized that he already got quite a good hang on fighting. His stats are especially high for someone of his level, and his endurance and intelligence would allow him to go on for quite some time. Since choosing a class depended on one's ability and affinity, he decided to train more before reaching level 10. Today, he would spend all morning training with Arthur, Baal and blue, along with leveled up goblins and Aries warriors. Following that, he would train with Baal and blue to feel Mana and realize his potential, while others would train in their choice of weapon. Cleopatra did not do much besides eating and resting.

When the day was almost over, the other party came back to camp, having raised their level to 4. The scouts managed to break down most foes in the immediate surrounding. Baal attained beginner level in swordmanship, while other 10 other goblins were beginners in soeatmanship and shield mastery.

The day after, Ezyze showed brown different moves in martial arts. From Muay Thai lateral high and medium kicks, taekwondo spinning kicks, boxing stances, use of elbows and karate rondhouse kicks. Due to her tough skin, brown then trained these stances against pine trees.

Ezyze, blue and baal continued their regimen, while 14 Aries warriors raised the goblins' levels and kept scouting. Just like that, 4 days passed and Ezyze acquired beginner Aries axemanship. While normal axemanship encompassed 3D fighting, going backwards, advancing and dodging, Aries' was more about continuously advancing on the enemy, while making minute movements to dodge attacks. Although risky because of the need to always pressure the opponent, this style was decisive, and almost spectacular, allowing to jump over the opponent while striking it and making higher damages due to speed. His orogress were not only about physical combat, but also in terms of Mana training. Now, he could even feel on his own foreign particles entering his pores, through concentrated breathing. These particles would then follow vein like pathways and aggregate under his solar plexus.

Blue and Baal have been sparing in swordmanship, reaching beginner swordmanship and beginner Aries swordmanship. In order for both to improve, Baal matched his strenght with blue's. Similarly, the Aries style was manly about continuous advance, dodging manoeuvres and continuous damages. With a smaller stature, blue had to make lots of efforts in order to stick to Baal. He wielded a dagger in each hand, making him wielding goblin-sized swords. Also, as a monster and the innate nature of monsters to wielder Mana and improve on his affinities, blue explained that he could feel small particles following similar pathways and aggregating under the solar plexus. With continuous practice, he unlocked Mana wind senses and a passive ability called wind reinforcement, where he could use Mana to coat his body, raising his speed and reflexes.

Brown acquired beginner wrestling, taekwondo, Muay Thai, boxing and karate. In the span of a few days, she showed a decent level in martial arts.

Through continuous training, Ezyze gained +2 strength, +3 Stamina and +2 in Wisdom.

At night, Ezyze continued hud Mana training. He slowly breathed and felt particles weighing on his veins and his aggregated Mana. This heaviness was not physical. He did not feel heavier or slower, instead, a form of weight was felt. He slowly expanded his sense and managed to somehow feel these particles surrounding him. Some were floating around, while other were attracted to himself and objects. Through focused breathing, he managed to feel these heavier particles being attracted to him and entering his body. After few hours and sweating.

Ding ~ you have felt and interacted with spatial Mana. Congratulations, you can now weakly organize and influence spatial Mana. You unlocked the skill Novice gravity manipulation lv1.

Ezyze was overjoyed. He tried to use this skill straight away. Through activation, he felt that he could feel slightly heavier, or when he tried to do so, slightly lighter.

My rank S spatial affinity was not for nothing! I should try it out!

The next day, Ezyze was overjoyed. He, Cleopatra and the rest of the goblins went to gain some levels. Blue and brown felt that they gained hindsight on their respective fighting style. From amateurish fighting, they had a clear idea on how to fight. While their physical capabilities did not change, it is the quality of their fighting style that improved. Blue continuously harassed boars, showing sudden small bursts of speed when boars threatened to injure him. Brown was like a leech for boars. She kept striking, exerting pressure, gauging out eyes and teeth. Despite giving her all not to be hit, she managed to tank when boars attacked her and she couldn't avoid.

Ezyze felt most improvements on his fighting style. By using gravity manipulation, he felt lighter and managed to successfully dodge all of the boars attacks. Also, he made himself heavier when attacking, causing his axe to penetrate slightly deeper in boars' flesh.

The goblins didn't need the Aries help anymore and only 5 Aries warriors accompanied them. Ezyze reached level 7 while blue and brown reached level 6. Their hunting speed decreased as they were not hinting injured boars but ones with their full might. Their levels grew less quickly, but their efficiency in fights was skyrocketing. Cleopatra was barely fighting, but thanks to the shared experience with Ezyze and the experience she gained on her own, she reached level 5.

When they reached camp, the other goblins interpelled Ezyze.

Chief, all of us reached level 10. We gained access to class and don't know what to do.

What are your options?

Goblin warrior - a goblin trained it the art of weapon. The goblin warrior is a normal class that can be seen a lot in goblin villages. They are fearless and, capable to wear heavier armors, do not hesitate to face any enemy.

Beginner hoplite - a warrior trained in the art of sword and shield. The beginner hoplite will later grow into a full fledged and rare hoplite, a fearsome warrior capable of attacking, as well as defending. Not fully used to wars, the beginner hoplite can wear leather Armour effortlessly and when fighting with other hoplite, his fighting capability augments.

Goblin hunter - he gathers food ans repels preys. The goblins hunter is quite quick and strong, capable to use a wide range of weapons. He can track his prey.

Goblin scout - his small stature is nothing in the face of his tracking skills. Quick and light, he covers huge distances and can scout for enemy.

Goblin Spearman - the goblin Spearman knows how to use the spear. Despite his small stature, he can attack from a distance thanks to his longer reach.

Goblin shield - he protects. The goblin shield takes shots for his enemies and his endurance makes him a good protector.

Ezyze consulted with Arthur on what to do. The classes offered a wide range of diversity and could cover many things that was the group shortcomings. Ultimately, it depended on the direction that Ezyze wanted the group to take. In this foreign land, he knew that ultimately, wars were around the corner and survival depended on the group capability to take down foes. Ultimately, Arthur explained that a hoplite battalion was a strong unit capable of fairing well on their own. They decided to have the goblins choose the beginner hoplite class.

They received two active skills: shield parry, heavy trust, and the Passive skill spiked formation: for any additional hoplite related class fighting together, the beginner hoplite gains +2 percent in strenght and Stamina.

Having reached level 5, Cleopatra had her first offspring, a magic golden larvae.
