This place really sucks, huh?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One of the trembling players said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It also sounds like we, Rose Records, need to go cut some wood to keep the place warm. It’s been running low for days now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And also the guild master plans to donate some wood logs to the locals of Snowberry Village so they can keep their houses warm and don’t freeze to death.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don’t we usually pay the wood companies over in Tinselbrook Village for more supplies when we run low? What happened?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I don’t know, but it sounds like the guild master isn’t planning to do it this time.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While they were talking, Rock walked out of the mansion in heavy winter gear and saw that everyone had already gathered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, let’s get going!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He clapped his hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They all nodded and skipped into a jog, and once they left the mansion grounds behind, they entered the usual forest path that they always took during jogs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hoo... Huff...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Raon ran behind everyone, like he always did, and today, he felt quite nice as the cold morning air filled his lungs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was another extremely long jog, but it had become much easier for Fang Raon since the first time, and he was even able to keep up with the rest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Race to the top!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rock shouted as the last hill came into view, and everyone gritted their teeth and started sprinting to the top.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like always, Fang Raon chased down Machary, but a moment later, he just sprinted off into the distance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was still unable to keep up with him!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Huff... Should I just... put all my stat points to stamina and speed... once I level up? Haha... I don’t think I will lose then!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Raon gritted his teeth, and like every other time, he was last at the top of the hill, and everyone was already there catching their breath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sitting on the back of the enormous hound, Rock reached the top of the hill and checked the time on his pocket watch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Now, be back at the mansion by 11:30, and if you fail to do so, you’ll train outside for the remainder of the day.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rock said with a serious look.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It brought shocked expressions to the faces of the students as they now had less time than previous times.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They usually had to be back at the mansion by 12, but now they had half an hour less time than before!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’What the hell is that? Is he doing this to piss me off? I was confident that I could arrive before 12 today, but I am not going to make it by 11:30!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Raon gritted his teeth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was one of the coldest days, so he was thrilled about the possibility of training indoors today, but with this new time, he was never going to make it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let’s get going. Time is ticking!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rock shouted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With gritted teeth, everyone started running downhill, and Fang Raon followed behind them, but he quickly started losing ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone was running faster than before, as before everyone was running at just barely a good enough pace to arrive at the mansion before 12.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They could’ve always gone faster, but they had no need to, as they only had to arrive before 12.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the new time, they had to actually push themselves harder, which was exactly what Rock wanted to do.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He gave a new time after seeing that the morning jog had become easier for the students than he wanted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And also, after seeing that even Fang Raon was about to make it in time, he thought it was a good time to shorten the time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Huff... Huff... Huff...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Raon, dragging his feet behind him, finally arrived back at the mansion, but as the last one, as always.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every other student was already warming themselves inside the mansion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Huff!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With ragged breathing, he checked the time on his system interface, and after seeing the time, he sighed heavily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[11:58]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’I would’ve... Made it!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Raon slumped down to the ground, and he now needed to somehow run half an hour faster to make it to the mansion on time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’I can’t achieve that... I need to level up...’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Crunch! Crunch! Crunch!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In that moment, Rock walked over to him, his boots leaving crunchy footsteps in the snow, and his hound by his side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We’re heading to the forest again today. Get up, and let’s get going.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a tired nod, Fang Raon stood back up and followed behind Rock even though he could feel his lungs burning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next three days flew by in the cold winter air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With Rock, Fang Raon spent his days in the woods, killing every Ice Goblin, Snow Rabbit, and Killer Bear that came into his view.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, Rose Records was busy cutting trees in the forest and hauling them back to the mansion for firewood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whatever they had extra, they gave to the locals for free.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the morning jogs, Fang Raon never made it to the mansion in time—he was nowhere close to making it in time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, his new record was arriving by 11:51, which was just 21 minutes too slow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Currently, deep in the woods with the blue sky and yellow sun accompanying them, Fang Raon cut down another Ice Goblin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[You killed Ice Goblin!]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...One more percent!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He shouted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Goblins ahead. Take care of them.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rock said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a nod, Fang Raon looked over, saw an angry group of goblins coming over to him, and readied his sword for battle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wasn’t scared of facing multiple opponents anymore, as he had new-found confidence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All Rock wanted was for Fang Raon to have more confidence in himself while facing multiple opponents.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was something he was lacking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Raon sliced through the goblins effortlessly, and after he finished with all of them, notifications appeared in front of him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[LEVEL UP!]\u003C\u002Fp>",1052,"2026-06-06T02:35:08.437Z",1,"novelbin.me","a1c937ea97e92ae3ef8843685901071492bae88d70d3ff64161b8a335cb94b64","black-online-chapter-112","black-online-chapter-110",270,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fblack-online-cover.jpg"]
