Walking over and taking a seat beside Gabby, Brance went over Benny’s profile one more time, and when he got to the line with his HP, Brance couldn’t help but sigh; even though his VIT stat was at 490, he only had 8800 HP and 4400 STAM, while Benny who had a stat of 474 was sitting at 10,260 HP.
This was a direct result of the differential they had found out after the Sanfords reached Tier-1. Because of their bloodline stat boost, he, Cynrik, and even Selene would end up with less HP and MP in the long run. This was due to how the allocation occurred; with a higher starting line after evolution, they were inevitably earning a lot less HP, MP, and STAM points.
So while Cynrik, Brance, and Selene would receive the Tier-1 point allocation for those three stats until 470, Gabby and Benny started receiving the new Tier-2 boost at 375. It didn’t make much of a difference at lower levels, but now, it was clear. At present, MP was only increasing by 20 units per stat point, but if things continue to progress in the same way as they have with each Tier advancement, the Sanfords will easily surpass the Tobs hosts in MP before they even reach Tier-3.
While Brance was contemplating how they could fix this issue, Gabby finished up her new stat sheet and waved it in front of Brance’s face to get his attention.
“Oh? You’re done already; let’s take a look,” Snapping out of his daze, Brance smiled at Gabby, received the paper, and thoroughly read her eloquent handwriting.”
“Yep, I also added my new class skills to the list for you,” Gabby said with a face that made it obvious she was expecting praise.

-Tier-2 Huntress Skill: [Beast Partner Contract]-
-Category: Active Skill –
-No Huntress is complete without a Partner who can aid them in battle and their hunts. As a Huntress, you have the ability to Tame and Contract a Beast or Creature that is the same Tier Grade (Low, Mid, High, Peak) or weaker than you are.-
-There are many ways to initiate this skill; you can either choose to suppress the creature you wish to become your beast partner and forcefully initiate the contract, or the beast/creature, can willingly accept to be your Partner. As the Huntress and future master of this Beast/Creature, it is your choice how you go about contracting them. However, be aware that you can only attempt to use this skill on a Beast or Creature a Maximum of three times. If it fails after the third attempt, you will be unable to form a contract permanently with them.-
-Cost: 1000 MP times the Beast/Creatures Tier, + 100 MP per their Primary level.-
-Cooldown: 1 Minute.-
-Tier-2 Huntress Skill: [Beast Partner Summons]-
-Category: Active Skill –
-Unlike the Tamer Class, who has the ability to place the beings they have a Soul Pact with into their [Tamer Space], The Huntresses Beast Partner stays free to roam around. Thus there is a need to contact the Beast Partner if they are out of eyesight. That’s where this skill comes in handy. You can call for your Partner to come to your side by whistling loudly in a specific pitch generated through your personal Mana Signature. They will be able to hear it if they are within a 1-kilometer radius.-
-Cost: None.-
-Cooldown: 5 minutes.-
-Tier-2 Huntress Skill: [Beast Partner Fusion] (LOCKED)-
-Category: Active Fusion Skill-
-The Huntress’s greatest asset is their Beast Partner; for generations, a unique technique has been taught to every new Huntress, the Beast Partner Fusion. Once you have increased your Bond with your Partner to the highest level, you can fuse in mind and body with them, giving you their characteristics and an increase in your stats which corresponds with your partners.-
-Requirements: Beast Partner must be within the same Tier, and a gap of no higher than 20 Levels can be between you both.
-Partial Fusion: 50% Partner Bond. 10 Minute Time Limit.-
-Half Fusion: 75% Partner Bond. 5 Minute Time Limit.-
-Perfect Fusion 100% Partner Bond. 2 Minutes 30 seconds Time Limit.-
-Cost: None
-Cooldown: 3 hours.-
-Tier-2 Huntress Skill: [Rain of Arrows]-
-Category: Active Charged AOE Skill –
-Although the Huntress is a master of many things, such as tracking and laying traps, you, at your core, are a Bowman. As such, it is only suitable to have a powerful attack revolving around a Bow or Crossbow.-
-This attack requires the user to store a specific amount of Mana into their Arrows/Bolts and requires the user to fire a minimum of 5 shots at a steep upward angle. Upon leaving the weapon, these projectiles will split off, creating Mana constructs of the same size, weight, and strength as one of the rounds fired. The arrows and constructs will fall at a similar pace and rain down on a circular target area no further than 30 meters away from the user.
-Charge Time: 2 Minutes.-
-Cost: 2500 MP, 500 STAM.-
-Damage Calc: Based on INT, DEX, and Affinity.-
-Cooldown: 1 hour.-
-Tier-2 Huntress Skill: [Scent Tracking]-
-Category: Active Skill –
-A Huntress doesn’t only rely on their eyes to find their prey but also their acute sense of smell. By infusing Mana particles into your nose, you can locate items, creatures, or beings, so long as you first have their scent added to your catalog and they are within a 3-kilometer radius from you. Once you have locked onto a scent, you will be able to see a hazy mirage in the form of a trail in the same color as your Origin Affinity. Follow that trail, and it will lead you to your prey.
-Cost: 1% of Available MP every Minute the skill is in use.-
-The skill can not be activated if the user’s MP is below 50%
-Cooldown: 10 Minutes.-
It took Brance a couple of minutes to get through all the information on the two pages Gabby had written. Her stat growth was about what he expected. Over the last few months, she had been working on her DEX and AGI, doing every type of training that Professor Dennis recommended. If she couldn’t physically complete the full set of exercises in the first couple of tries, she would reach out to the Professor and ask for clarification.
Using this method, of everyone in the party, Gabby was the foremost single expert on training the AGI and DEX stats. She was so well learned in the aspect that on several occasions, she would stop and answer questions presented by the other party members, himself and Cynrik included.
So when Brance saw that she was close to passing him, he couldn’t help but feel proud of her. Next was Gabby’s VIT stat; like her brother, Gabby was becoming obsessive about training under the heavy pressure generated by the Academy Gravity Rooms. By doing exercises under the strain of increased gravitational force, her VIT skyrocketed, which meant so did her HP and STAM, which had passed his own, once again, as predicted.
However, when Brance made it down to the five new skills Gabby had unlocked with her Class, his jaw nearly hit the ground, with his first thought being, “where are all the marksman skills.” Seeing the three skills and the new Partner Bond stat, Brance couldn’t help but look at Gabby with wide eyes, making her giggle.
“Well, it looks like we need to go shopping for a pet for you. Although you won’t be able to keep it within a pet space, like Big Brother will be able to with his birds, so long as it doesn’t grow up TOO big, everything should be fine…I think. Have you thought about what kind of Beast you want to contract?” Seeing the sparkling eyes staring up at him with glee, Brance chuckled and patted Gabby’s head as he spoke.
“Um, not really, I know I want something with a good nose and ears, so I was thinking something from a canine species, like a wolf or something. Plus, you totally can’t tell me a puppy wouldn’t be the cutest thing ever. Momma never let us have anything larger than a canary or hamster growing up, so this is a great chance for me to get one finally.” Sitting beside Brance on the workout bench, Gabby swung her legs happily while talking.
“Hehe, you know what would be really funny hehe.” Giggling in a creepy tone with a twisted smile plastered across his face, Brance suddenly resembled Cynrik as he came up with the perfect way to harass his brother.
“Eh…Brancie…please don’t make that face; that’s the same face Big Bro Cyn gets when he thinks of something evil…it doesn’t look right on you.” Gabby said as she scooted away from Brance slightly.
“What if…now hear me out…what if you got a bear cub and named it after the one enemy my big brother has never been able to conquer?” Rubbing his hands together as he spoke, Brance dropped his master plan on Gabby, who was stunned into silence for a moment before breaking out in a hysterical shrill.
“NOPE, NOPE, no way, never in a million years. You know as well as I do that if I got a bear cub and named it Carlisle, it would disappear, and the only excuse I would receive was something like “It went to a magical farm,” just like what happened with my pet hamster when I was 6. WE ALL KNOW WHAT HAPPENED TO MY POOR, BEAUTIFUL BABY HAMMY; HE WAS USED AS A MOVING TARGET!” Gabby half sobbed, half screamed.
“OI! DIDN’T I MAKE IT UP TO YOU WITH A FULL YEAR OF ALL MY DESSERTS, YOU DUMB RABBIT!” Of course, with the most impeccable timing imaginable, Cynrik walked in just as Gabby started yelling about Hammy.
“YOU, YOU, YOU HAMSTER MURDERER! STUPID ASSHOLE BIG BRO CYN, HOW COULD YOU FUCKING HURT MY POOR BABY HAMMY? ” Jumping to her feet and pointing at Cynrik while shouting, Gabby tore into him with insults like none of the members of MyrkLys had ever heard her say. It had to be mentioned that Gabby was the only one in the group who refused to say swear words “because they were bad.” So hearing her use the word asshole and fuck in the same sentence was a shock beyond anything they had ever experienced.
