BXBX NOVEL Chapter 15 A Good Schedule Is Like A Heavenly Meditation!
Chapter 15: A good schedule is like a heavenly meditation!
[Leon Blade Lv. 12(2043/4500) HP: 14250/14250 MP: 12750/12750]
Leon\'s stats naturally increased, but he was more of a monster in his case. While the average human increased from around fifty to one hundred health points, Leon\'s skyrocketed by one thousand on every level up. Of course, those talented and blessed people were a different kind of a breed, too, but on an average level, Leon was quite too much.
Adding stats to vitality also increased his health points and physical defenses by a large margin. Leon allocated his points in an all-rounder way because of his system test experience and his skill from Louise. Even though it had been his plan, Leon added too much to strength stat, so he believed it was time to properly think about his equipment.
Nonetheless, he clicked on his stats window and allocated points from leveling up after killing the skeleton mage, Ronald.

[VIT: 144 STR: 150 INT: 127 STA: 105 DEX: 120 Luck: 5]
"How did my luck increase?" Leon whispered after adding more to [Intelligence] and [Strength], which increased on their own, too, as though his body was constantly evolving, even without him doing anything. Perhaps, inhaling the air filled with mana or some energy stirred the peak humanity\'s body.
But luck was a completely mysterious stat. Leon jokingly thought that Louise\'s smile was the cause, not finding it that weird for people\'s strength, luck naturally being a part of it, often was connected to their beloveds.
Leon experienced that head-on since he simply lost all of his will to work hard on Earth after losing his parents and fiancée.
Monster Collector didn\'t sound like a class that leveraged those bounds, but Leon had his and his monsters\' development in his hands, so he\'d strive to turn his bonds into real power.
"Marco said that an average human has five to ten stats at level one…." Leon squinted his eyes at the system message of his stats.
His stats were absurd, so Leon didn\'t doubt his level ceiling was among the highest. He felt happy about endless possibilities and couldn\'t wait to learn new skills soon.
Speaking of the skills, Leon had most of them, except one, at the legendary grade. Even Louise\'s skill was of the same grade. Leon simply had them at their lowest points because of his low level and understanding. However, Monster Collector was actually listed as [World], and the same went for peak humanity\'s body.
[Monster Collector(World)]
[Contracted Monster: 1]
[Monster Cards: 2]
[Your contract and link with the Scarlet Fox, Louise, have been stabilized after Louise has found her path with your help. You can increase your [INT] through developing Nine Fire Spirits Art with her help.]
"Finally, this class will increase my stats and skills." Leon inferred that his [INT] would soon increase, so he\'d have more mana points, greater damage, and more magic defenses.
pAn,Da n<0,>v,e1 Those lined up nicely with his plan to learn blacksmith skills. He\'d increase many stats in smithy while his training with Louise would keep increasing his [INT] and [Luck].
How couldn\'t Leon be not ecstatic? Although his plans seemed carefree, everything would increase his chances of survival in another world. Of course, Leon didn\'t think he\'d face terrifying enemies in desolate lands such as this village, and he wasn\'t a person to draw attention.
If he wanted, Leon would be able to live without threatening his life. In this case, learning skills for self-defense would be enough.
"Feels like a great waste, doesn\'t it?" Leon muttered after his thoughts reached such a point. He couldn\'t think of a grand ambition similar to his achievements on Earth, but he\'d love to learn more about monsters and develop them. His plans would carry him to dangerous zones, but those would still be low-level.
But even Leon couldn\'t predict what would happen in those low-level zones. Maybe he\'d turn greedy and yearn for more challenging monsters and resources, or perhaps, he\'d be content with low-level existences…
\'Louise\'s crystal memories must be in too dangerous lands, too, so if I don\'t aim high, this girl will leave my side soon enough.\' Leon couldn\'t comment that aloud, fearing she\'d hear him. Though Leon wouldn\'t enslave her and bind her future to his, he wouldn\'t change his life because of her goals, too.
Yes, he had once said they would find them together, but Leon didn\'t say how many of them they\'d together find, and if he wanted to stretch that excuse, he always could say he was thinking more about Louise\'s mental than the world at that time…
A spark of affection and genuine, deep love were too much different. Leon felt and lost both on Earth, which was the cause of him unconsciously avoiding grand achievements worthy of peak humanity\'s body in another world. That event was so deep and strong in his heart that Leon didn\'t even think he\'d ever change his mindset.
And that was his flaw, which was poor mind and soul within the vessel known as peak humanity body.
Leon also didn\'t think he\'d feel alone anymore, for it wasn\'t like Louise would be gone soon, and he would have enough time to become friends with other residents. Getting a monster pet was also a good idea.
"Back to old ways, then." Leon chuckled, ignoring his thoughts of an unpredictable future, and looked around for a paper and pen to write a schedule.
In his life on Earth, a proper schedule enabled him the most.
He\'d use it similarly here, for he genuinely cared for Louise and didn\'t want to hold her back, too.
"Build her confidence along her strength… That\'s it."

After coming out of the bathroom, Louise found her master scribbling by the desk. She silently shrunk a distance and peeked at the paper, only to blink as her master\'s handwriting was beautiful despite his fast writing! She picked up a few words, realizing Leon was writing their schedule for a few days.
Her fresh smell reached and assailed Leon, his head wheeling to her. "Ready for today?"
"I am, Master!" Louise clenched her hands tightly, taking a funny battle position.
Leon chuckled and explained his schedule, "A proper schedule is akin to heavenly meditation technique. I find it nice that everyone in this village seems to be an early bird, including tourists."
Remembering how the inn was full of people eating quite a heavy meal in the morning, Leon told Louise about his sleeping schedule and how consistent night hours worked well on the brain. He then asked for her plans to turn their schedule for the better.
But without Louise\'s input, Leon had written about sleeping hours, meal time, and their warm-up and short training in the morning before both of them tended to their stuff.
Leon wanted to try blacksmithing first, while Louise wanted to learn cooking.
They both were pretty much clueless about their desired subclasses.
Leon had some experience from MMORPG games he\'d played during his free time, but that wouldn\'t be sufficient, would it?
"We had a feast not too long ago, so we\'ll skip the warm-up and short training for now." Leon oddly glanced at Louise, then asked, "You burn calories with your tails?"
"Eh… Maybe…" Louise blushed, knowing her master alluded to her eating as much as him.
Of course, Leon blamed his body and new environment for eating this much.
At last, it was time for Leon to take a bath. He didn\'t struggle with a slightly old-fashioned shower, enjoyed his time with light thoughts to not go overboard with his plans, then left the bathroom.
Upon leaving it and seeing Louise, Leon had a feeling she didn\'t know how to proceed.
"Will you ask the chef for some lessons? You can buy him for free, can\'t you?"
"How can I buy him for free?"
"Well, all girls have a strong weapon, and it\'s a smile. Yours is on another level, so don\'t be shy and show your teeth, Louise. I\'ll be going first."
With those words, Leon bid farewell to his partner and went to the smithy.
Left alone in the room, Louise understood that her freedom was pretty overwhelming. For a lady with amnesia and after traumatic events, it was indeed the case. However, Leon believed she\'d do fine alone, for she had managed to trust and work together with him.
In the village with low-level people, nothing threatened Louise\'s life, too.
And her confidence had to be her own, not connected to anyone!
