Chapter 80: Thief Path
Rain's Spidey senses were tingling, so he decided to work with his grandfather and make some money instead of seeing his parents getting lovey-dovey. Still, Leiah made sure to give him a tight hug before he left.
"Thank you, Rain," Leiah said. "We are very proud of you."
"I am very proud of myself as well," Rain said in order not to let the situation get too emotional.
Rain left with Meiro, and he worked in the fields until evening. During that time, he wondered if he should keep leveling up his Healer's Path. He liked the parameters that were increasing, but he also wanted to check what would happen once he made the human path reach level one hundred, so he returned to the same method of improving as before.

"You are training hard. You are far more diligent than I was at your age," Roan said after he approached when the tree was knocked down. "Still, you shouldn't knock down trees."
"Sorry," Rain said while he was healing his fists and wondering if he should punch a rock now.
"Is there any reason why you are training with only your body and without weapons?" Roan asked.
"It just feels more natural that way," Rain replied. "If I need to fight someone with a weapon someday, then I will do this."
Rain covering his arms on earth and then punching the air. His speed was quite good despite the weight, and the protection seemed good enough as well. Rain didn't stop there. He made the earth move away from his arms and also made it take a bigger shape while floating around his arms. They could completely mimic the movements of his arms.
"Hoh, this is quite a novel idea... I never heard of someone fighting like that," Roan said while rubbing his chin thoughtfully. "Still, it doesn't seem like you have a lot of experience fighting using that. Let's spar from now on every day at sunrise. That should give you some battle experience."
"Fine by me," Rain said.
From day onward, Rain and Roan sparred early in the morning. Thanks to that, Rain was able to see that his father was many levels above him. Even after several weeks, he was never able to make Roan break a sweat... the difference in terms of parameters was that high.
Maybe things would be different if Rain went with the intention of killing, but that wasn't his goal; his goal was to get stronger and get fighting experience.
Roan was able to block all of Rain's attacks without moving from the spot and just by using enough strength to block them. Still, he didn't feel bad about that. Rain knew that his father was strong enough to make the enemy decide to spare him and make him join their ranks.
In any case, after two more months, Rain finally reached his next goal, and he had been waiting for that.
(The Human Path reached the max level.)
(You reached the necessary requirements to unlock a new path.)

Level 5: Lockpicking - Develops the skill to unlock doors, safes, and containers without the use of a key.
Level 10: Agility - Enhances physical agility and nimbleness, allowing the thief to move quickly and effortlessly.
"Oh... this path is already at level ten, so I gained a ton of points..." Rain thought and then smiled. "It seems that me working like that in Tristan City did this. In any case, it seems that nothing aside from the Thief Path was unlocked."
