Originally it took a bit of Mana to create footholds, but together with the familiarity, Hiro reduced it to around 10 MP per foothold, when he shaped it to be traps, it increased to 12 MP each.

Knowing the battlefield granted a side an insane advantage in combat. Hiro created what he called "Flying Caltrops". He created a bunch of them while walking around and stored them in his inventory.

Even as a gamer, Hiro knew regeneration for powers or HP was wasted if you always remained full. Learning from the system Hiro found out Novices gained 1 point for each caliber every 30 minutes. Novices were what the system considered newbs.

Any System user who failed to reach Lvl 25 is considered a novice. Level 25 to level 49 granted the system users the [Initiate] rank. [Adepts] began at 50 and ended at 99. Anyone above 100 joined the ranks of the [Awakened].

Hiroto broke this convention by already being an [Initiate] as lvl 1. This translated to a Caliber regeneration of 10 points every 20 minutes. Thus to maximize this benefit, Hiro used [Mana Molding] to create objects beforehand.

He also used the other steak knives as a template and created Spirit swords with SP while he waited. Lastly confirming that states of heat were retained by the inventory. He next experimented on states of motion.

In line with weaponizing the inventory system, Hiro started to throw his Spirit swords into the air, then stored them in his inventory as they fell. As He needed to touch an object before storing it, he spent over an hour jumping or throwing Spirit swords around.

He then imbued them with Aura to utilize all his calibers to the maximum. While Hiro grew more impulsive, the battle sense he developed in his past life never left him.

Leveraging anything and everything to give a shot at victory. His mind never stopped trying to think of new ways to effectively use his abilities. [Tactics] evolved to [Tactical Projection] due to his experimenting with scenarios nonstop since gaining Tactics.

Hiro who now aimed to become stronger lost his lax mindset and now utilized each second to the maximum. He needed to do so because he lacked the strength and power. This small difference in disposition would create waves the longer he had to move.

"Not bad, but not nearly enough."

At those words, Hiro again charged into the wolves, now that they were aware and actively searching for "Flying Caltrops". It was not time to shake things up.

Maybe because they felt the severity of the situation. The wolves all started to scatter. Two of them however took the vanguard position and charged him. Hiro then saw transparent figures of the two wolves open their mouths and lunge at him at a speed greater than normal.

"Skill huh? Sucks to be you."

Aware that the beasts triggered a type of charging skill, Hiro positioned himself to accept the bites. As [Reverie beyond Hope] ignored the info, the skill itself must be low class and looked nothing more than a glorified charge.

Hiro then placed his knives in line with where the back of the wolf's throats would be. His knives then grew in length. The two wolves who suddenly had Spirit revolving around them grew horrified.

The man before them knew what they were going to do, and prepared for their arrival. One would think Hiro would move away, but instead, he waited and placed the equivalent of a guillotine in their path.

However, the rule for skills was universal. Beast also suffered from the stupor window and the vulnerability that came from using skills. They charged to bite Hiro only to impale themselves on the spirit longswords.

The reincarnator could have used traps to stop them, but his battle lust demanded he does it personally in the most bloodthirsty manner he could. Upon feeling the flesh of the wolves get stabbed by his weapons Hiro thrust his arms further.

As his target was the back of the throat, the blades embedded themselves towards the neck towards the underside of the wolf's skulls. This angle ensured maximum penetration with the least effort.

The man then moved his arms closer to each other in what could be seen as a hug, as two wolves dropped from his arms, the hug followed the same principle of scissors. At the intersection of his blades, Hiro bisected the heads of the two wolves in a display of brutality and gore.

It remained unknown why Hiro battled this way, but the actions he took caused his body to be repeatedly splattered by an inordinate amount of wolf blood.

The wolves started to feel a chill in their spines, what the hell were they fighting? This asshole seemed to not fight for defense or food. It was like the act of killing itself was what drove him.
