Chapter 15: Soul-Info Cards
Back in the classroom, Shota sat behind his desk, staring at several cards that rested on it. It was up to 14 in terms of figure.
He picked up a card and examined it carefully.

These card were referred to as Soul-User info cards, in short Soul Info cards.
What disturbed Shota particularly was the Soul Info card of Rentaro. Just after he ended the class for the day, she received a message from the receptionist of the academy stating the retired Soul Hunter Hana, requested to see him.
During their conversation, she revealed the true rank of Rentaro. The X-rank Soul-Type, an unidentified Soul-Type.
"X-rank Soul-Type, the only individual who had ever awakened such Soul-Type was Arthur Julius the 1st, he possessed a Soul-Type so powerful he was regarded as the God of Soul-Hunters, Time manipulation. But if that's so, why?"
This discovery issued the thought-provoking question, why is Rentaro's Soul-Type electricity? If that was the case why is it unidentified if electrokinesis falls under the Sub-Elementalist Soul-Type?
"Rentaro Mizuno, it's hard to believe that a commoner could under go a second awakening, more over awakening such a talent. I don't know what he is hiding or what he is actually capable of, but one thing is for sure, I definitely have to keep my eyes on him." He said softly, dropping Rentaro's card right on top the others slowly.
..
The gate to the dungeon hummed with a slight disorienting screech, if he didn't leave now, he'll be trapped forever inside the dungeon.
He ran towards the gate, crossing through at the last second before it closed.
"Phew, that was close." He sighed in relief, laying on the cold grounds as he tried to catch his breath. He never thought he'd push himself so far for a D-rank dungeon but that was just the reality of it. He was still lacking in power.
"But that all ends here, from now on this is my Solo Leveling."
"ARGH!" He groaned a loud, unable to neglect the sharp pain he fought continuously while battling the boss of the dungeon.
Unable to take it anymore, he rose to his feet slowly before approaching his bed. His initial plan was to apply some bandages, but after realizing there might be something that could aid him in the system, he immediately called out for the status window.
"Status."

"Huh?"
Not only did his stats increase, he gained new skills that left him totally astonished. "I levelled up this much just by clearing the dungeon!? No, a D-rank dungeon couldn't have taken me all the way from 2 to 8, it must be the completion of the daily quest!"
Thanks to this, he realized the importance of clearing the daily quest, although he felt worried given the quest could grow harder each passing day.
"These skills weren't here the last time I checked, I see, these must be the rewards I got from clearing the dungeon. But these skills... Bloodlust of the assassin?"
[Bloodlust Of The Assassin: This skill triggers an adrenaline rush that heightens your senses, giving you acute awareness of your surroundings. It also enables you to react instinctively to threats instilling a sense of fearlessnes]
Unexpectedly, Rentaro was left speechless. He had no idea the system was a responsive one.
"Okay... System, what about the Dragonic Recovery?"
[The Dragonic Recovery heals all your wounds and external injuries, returning your body to full health]
As the system responded with a different translucent blue screen, Rentaro didn't waste anytime in utilizing this skill as he couldn't bare the pain anymore.
"Dragonic Recovery."
A blinding light engulfed him, steam escaped his wounds as his flesh were banded back together by a mysterious force. His slightly fractured ribs healed itself completely and he felt reborn.
"Wow, it really does work."
He focused his attention back to the main translucent blue screen that displayed his stats. "My Soul-Energy has increased, so has my stats?"
Unknown to him, his Soul-Core grew even more powerful with each soul essence he obtained, increasing his Soul-Energy exponentially.
"How should I allocate these points?" After careful considerations, Rentaro allocated 5 stats points to his strength, 3 to his agility and finally 4 to his stamina.
"Whoa, I can feel my strength increasing." After the allocation, he could feel the upgrade in his body, his once average body became slightly muscular. His six pack abs became visible but not as solid as that of a body builder.
He could feel his leg muscles growing stronger and much compact, his jawline became more defined. Although it would be hard to notice, with a closer look his changes were easy to see.
