Before I knew it, three warriors had surrounded me.
"What do you want?"
"Hey, trash! A dropout like you doesn't deserve such fine wood!"
"We'll put it to good use, so leave the wood and get lost!"
"Stop it. The sponsors are watching."
"Are you stupid? Do you really think beating up one guy from the Special Training Class will lower our evaluation from the sponsors?"
"If anything, if we beat the crap out of you, the sponsors might be happy about it! Gyahaha!"
"I didn't mean it that way...
I just thought it would be pathetic if you guys embarrassed yourselves in front of the sponsors right after enrollment..."
"What did you say!? We are Warriors!
There's no way we would lose to a jobless loser like you!"
I adjusted my grip on the axe.
This was not the way I held it to cut wood. This was the way I held it to fight people.
"You guys may be pros at fighting... but right now I am a pro at fighting with an axe."

"If you are fine with that, then come at me."
"Don't get cocky!!!"
As the warriors swung down their iron axes, I swept my stone axe sideways and smashed them.
...Crash!!
It was the Battle Axe User's skill, Weapon Destruction.
The iron axes hit by the stone axe shattered like wafers, one after another.
"E... eeeeeeeeek!?!?"
The warriors screamed in nightmare-like voices while holding the broken handles with only scraps of iron left.
"Wh-wh-wh-what the hell is this!? What is this!?"
"I don't know! More importantly, what do we do now!? Our precious axes are ruined!"
"Even worse, if word gets out that we lost, our class will...!
Damn it! At this point...!"
"At this point?"
I slammed the stone axe into the ground right at the warriors' feet with a heavy thud.
Just that was enough to make them yelp and collapse to their knees. They threw away all shame and pride and performed a full-powered dogeza.
"P-p-please forgive uuuuuus!!!"
"S-s-sorryyyyyyyy!!!"
I watched the warriors scream and run away, and then my body began to sparkle.
A window appeared in front of me.
"Level up!"
I could not help letting out a happy "Oh!"
"I leveled up again. Maybe it was from cutting down the trees and punishing those warriors?"

Oh, another new job became available.
Since I was planning to build a house next, this was perfect timing.
I switched to Carpenter right away.
---
**Leopin**
**Job:** Battle Axe User ⇒ Carpenter
**Job Skill**
Architecture
Build houses. The higher the stats, the more advanced the construction possible.

"Alright, time to build a house!
First I need to move the cut Gisu timber to an open area!"
Carrying it by hand would take too much time.
I also needed a lot more wood to build a house, so transporting it all at once would be more efficient.
I decided to make a cart.
I thought it would be difficult without proper tools, but the Carpenter skill let me finish it in no time.
---
**Cart**
Quantity: 1
Quality Level: 22 (Material Level 11 + Dexterity Bonus 8 + Job Bonus 3)
A transport tool made from high-quality Gisu timber.
Thanks to various bonuses, it can carry five times more than a normal cart.
---
After that, I cut down five more trees and obtained a total of fifty pieces of Gisu Timber (Large).
I loaded them onto the cart, tied them down securely with vines so they would not fall, and left the forest.
In the distance I could see the castle that served as the school building.
Around it, a large number of new students were busy building their settlement.
It seemed each class had been given its own designated plot of land, and they had to build their houses within that area.
I wondered where the land for the Special Training Class was.
Walking around to search would be annoying, so I used the enhanced vision from my Five Senses.
Right now my eyes were sharp enough to count the strands of pasta from a hundred meters away.
But I could not find anything around the castle.
I turned around, wondering if it might be behind me...
**Garbage Dump (Special Training Class Residential Plot)**
I found the signboard standing in the forest.
"So they want me to live in the forest... Well, whatever."
I pulled the cart back the way I came.
I parked the cart next to the signboard and immediately started building the house.
I had always been good with my hands since I was a kid and had made all kinds of things.
I had helped build houses before, but this was the first time I was building an entire house alone from scratch.
The moment I activated the Wooden Architecture skill from Carpenter, my body moved without hesitation.
It felt like I had built many houses before, as if my body already remembered every step like a veteran carpenter.
Since I had no nails, I used a method called wood joinery, fitting pieces of wood together like a puzzle.
It was as fun as playing with a puzzle, and I became completely absorbed in assembling the house.
Only then did I realize something.
"In just one day today, I made a stone axe and a cart, beat three warriors, cut down five trees...
And now I am building a house, yet I do not feel tired at all...!?
Having Stamina at 200 really gives incredible endurance...!"
When I came back to my senses, a splendid two-story house stood in front of me.

**Gisu House**
Quantity: 1
Quality Level: 22 (Material Level 11 + Dexterity Bonus 8 + Job Bonus 3)
