Chapter 6: Creating Stat Points in record time
While Elliot immersed himself in training, continuously dodging the puppet's powerful attacks and countering them with his own, he sensed something strange. Deep inside his body, the attribute energy he had been accumulating slowly began to condense, forming a small, concentrated ball in the middle of his body.
"Am I about to create a stat point?" he thought as he realized that this was indeed happening quickly.
His heart quickened, and he became a little impatient, but in his distraction, he took a clean hit on the face. Though the pain stung, it was nothing alarming, and he managed to recover quickly before continuing the fighting.
Yet, as the minutes passed, his interest and excitement gradually faded. Yes, something was gathering inside him—indeed, attribute energy—but nothing was happening.
Thirty minutes went by. Then, an hour later. But everything was the same.
Aside from the feeling of gathering, nothing had changed.
In the end, Elliot let out a sigh and decided to focus on his training instead.

As time went by while he continued his training, Elliot began to try to understand attribute energy once again, this time more closely. This was because he had started to realize something: He wasn't creating agility the way he had expected.
And it made sense.
Dodging the puppet's attacks was easier said than done. Its strength was likely around 8 points—far superior to his own. In truth, his flesh was what had been holding up against the puppet's attacks and not his agility.
