CLAAAAANG!!!
CLAAAAANG!!!

The sound of clashing metal echoed through the forest as they exchanged powerful blows. Their fierce battle raged on until Tigram made a critical mistake. Overextending himself with a powerful swing, he lost his balance.
Before he could recover, Tigram noticed the ominous red glow in the goblin's eyes—a clear sign that his opponent had activated a special skill. The situation had escalated, and he knew the battle had just become much more dangerous.

As the goblin's weapon came slicing toward him, Tigram reacted instinctively. He swung his axe to deflect the attack. The clash of their weapons produced a thunderous explosion that resonated across the battlefield, causing the goblin's second strike to miss its mark.
---
CCCLLAAANKKKK!!!
---
The force of the explosion sent Tigram flying through the air, but his years of battle-hardened experience kicked in. He twisted his body mid-flight, landing safely five meters away from where he had stood just moments before.
Wiping the sweat from his brow, Tigram felt a wave of relief wash over him, knowing that the goblin's attacks had been weakened by [Intimidation]. Without it, the damage he had sustained could have been much more severe.
Taking a moment to steady his breath, Tigram quickly checked his status page to assess his condition.

"AAAAAAAHHHHH!!" Tigram roared, summoning every ounce of courage and energy within him. The roar fueled his fighting spirit, preparing him for the challenge ahead. He activated his unique talent, [Berserk].

As soon as he activated [Berserk], Tigram felt an incredible surge of power. His stats and equipment combined to make him a force to be reckoned with. He knew he could deal devastating damage—up to 590 points—with just his basic attacks, without even relying on specialized skills. The adrenaline coursing through his veins made him feel almost invincible.
With his newfound strength, Tigram focused on his target and charged toward the goblin, his iron battle axe raised high. With fierce determination, he unleashed three rapid, deadly swings, each one landing with brutal precision.
The Red Goblin, overwhelmed by Tigram's sudden increase in power, was caught off guard. Its attempts to defend were futile as Tigram's strikes were too fast and too powerful. In its final moments, the goblin watched in horror as the numbers on its status panel flashed red, signaling its imminent defeat.

With the goblin defeated, Tigram deactivated [Berserk], feeling the intense energy drain from his body. He took a deep breath, surveyed the now-silent battlefield, and prepared to move on to his next challenge.
...
In the spacious classroom of Green Leaf Academy, all eyes were glued to the flickering holographic screen. Tigram's battle had just concluded, leaving the teachers in awe.
Mr. Hanz, Tigram's teacher, was particularly astonished. For a student known for bullying and poor academic performance, Tigram's display of combat prowess was nothing short of extraordinary.
"Principal, this student is Tigram Gray," Mr. Hanz said, still reeling from what he had witnessed. "He's notorious in our school, especially in our classroom, for his bullying behavior. His awakened class is Barbarian—a fighter class. I never expected his performance to be this impressive. To be honest, sir, this boy consistently fails in theoretical knowledge."
The other teachers, including the principal, were equally stunned. Tigram was infamous throughout the school, but no one had imagined he could excel in combat.
"You really can't judge a book by its cover," one of the teachers remarked, shaking her head.
Everyone in the room nodded in agreement. The principal, however, had more to say.
"Not all students are the same," he began, his tone serious. "Some excel in theory but struggle with practical application. Others are the opposite, shining in practical performance but lacking in theoretical knowledge. And then there are those who struggle with both but excel in entirely different areas. These are what we call 'lifestyle Orions' in today's society."
The principal paused, letting his words sink in before continuing. "The key is knowing where to look, so we can nurture each student's unique talents. While luck plays a role in determining what class a student awakens to, we cannot ignore the fact that some are simply born with a natural gift for fighting."
...
Mr. Hanz couldn't help but think of Gabriel, another of his students. "How is he doing?" he wondered to himself as the discussion continued. The other teachers nodded in agreement with the principal's words.
A few minutes later, the teachers monitoring the mystic realm noticed that over 600 students were still inside. Concern began to grow among them, as they were responsible for ensuring the safe return of all participants.
...
As the holographic projection flickered to life again, the teacher in charge of the display couldn't help but comment on the new student who had appeared on the screen. "Look, another interesting one," he said, capturing the attention of everyone in the room. Curiosity spread among the teachers as they turned their eyes toward the projection, eager to see what this new student had in store.
The teacher gestured excitedly at one of the screens, prompting the other faculty members to focus on the image displayed. As they watched intently, their curiosity only grew.
When Mr. Hanz saw the student on the screen, recognition lit up his eyes. "That's Gabriel," he whispered to himself, anticipation building within him as he waited to see how his student would perform.
The projection showed a slender boy holding a staff, standing firm as a pack of six wolves charged at him with ferocity. Without hesitation, Gabriel charged back toward the wolves, an audacious act of bravery that surprised everyone watching.
However, one teacher in the room scoffed, calling Gabriel an "idiot" for rushing headlong into such danger. Mr. Hanz shot the teacher a cold look, silencing him immediately. "Watch and learn," he said calmly, his eyes never leaving the screen.
The room fell silent as the faculty watched in awe. Gabriel deftly dealt with the six wolves, dispatching them with calculated precision that left everyone, including the naysayer, utterly astonished.
As the wolves lunged at Gabriel, he suddenly stopped in his tracks, staff raised and ready. In the blink of an eye, he cast two spells in rapid succession, enveloping the wolves in a dark aura. Disoriented, one wolf glowed with a bright light before exploding into nothingness.
The explosion echoed through the forest, sending the remaining wolves into a panic. But Gabriel wasn't finished. He cast another spell, targeting a second wolf. The result was the same—the wolf was engulfed in light before disintegrating.
The teachers were taken aback. They had never seen anything like it
. Normally, monsters would defend themselves with their abilities, but these wolves were utterly overwhelmed by Gabriel's precise and powerful magic.
Gabriel continued his assault, dodging the wolves' attacks with quick reflexes and casting spells with lethal accuracy. Each time a spell connected, another wolf was engulfed in light and exploded, just as the previous ones had.
The forest echoed with the sound of these explosions as Gabriel methodically took down each wolf, one by one, until all six lay defeated. The teachers, still in shock, could only watch in silent amazement at the boy's extraordinary display of skill and power.
