[Third Person POV],

Looking at how offensive the sun was baring its fists at the two, Ace and his tamed best, blue, Ace figured that it was currently around noon in the true world so after covering up their traces around the entrance of the hill that led to the bronze door underground, Ace carried blue in his arms and made his way to another location immediately.

He did not attempt to run but just jog to whatever location his feet would take him to but even with this, a slight issue arose.

It wasn't one that was dangerous to Ace and his pet nor was it them coming into contact with another living being. The slight issue that arose was Ace trying to get used to his body physique.

At the moment, anyone who saw Ace would be able to tell that he was jogging from his appearance but the speed at which he moved told another story. The speed at which Ace's body moved was one that was close to a level 35 human half-running to running.

'Seems like the improvement evolving brought to my physique did not really lose out to everything that changed after evolving', Ace thought as he continued to struggle to control his body well.

He learnt fast and it only took a few seconds before he reached the level he could control his body and stopped the awkward movements he had been making earlier due to taking big movements with his body that had unfamiliar strength.

Ace thought nothing about the speed he used to regain full control over his body and just ignored it as he started to look for a suitable monster to prey on.

The speed he just showcased now when he never even ran made him curious about his physique powers at the moment and how powerful he actually was.

It was because of these thoughts that made him ignore something important.

While it was reasonable for him to find it hard to suddenly control his strength he had never tested out after evolving, why was it that he never found it difficult to control his strength in the alternate dimension immediately after he evolved?

It was true that he never took any big movement in the alternate dimension but the sudden increase in strength should have made him break a few things but why was it that he didn't?

It's not like he subconsciously learnt to somewhat control his strength after his strength when he was concocting the pills right?

Either way, this was not something that Ace considered as he held the curious blue who kept looking at his surroundings and searched for prey he could test his physical prowess on.

He knew he was much stronger than when he was still unranked and had a physique close to a rank 40 specie before evolving so he wasn't sure of how powerful he was currently so he made his preferable range of target between level 40 to level 45. 

He wasn't sure of how powerful he had truly become but he figured it should be enough to handle these levels.

As he thought of these things, Ace made sure to head deeper into the locations that were dense with trees.

From his experiences, it was usually in these places the big monsters' bosses were and liked to live.

*********

Ace wandered through the dense forest, his eyes scanning the area for a worthy opponent to test his new physical prowess on. 

Although his job was what one would tag was best at supporting so the improvement that the alchemist job should have provided to his body should be way inferior to what it had done with the mana aspect of his body and while this was true since it happened to him, Ace had a certain suspicion that his physical prowess should be way above what rare grade jobs that had something to do with strength could offer.

His thoughts were like this for a number of reasons.

For one, he had improved his body to match a rank 40 specie in average physical strength when he was unranked and apart from this, he also took the dragon potion before he evolved which strengthened his physique a little as well.

These two together with the strength he got from evolving should be something terrifying when stacked together.

He had recently evolved with the alchemist job and was also curious and interested to test his physical prowess against a formidable foe. 

As he walked through the dense forest with Blue in his arms, he sensed a presence nearby and turned to face the direction from which it came.

Out of the foliage emerged a massive earth gorilla, its muscular arms hanging low and its red eyes fixed on Ace. Ace's body tensed up a little as he recognized the creature's strength and level. The gorilla was a level 47 monster, more than 20 levels above Ace's current level of 25. Nevertheless, Ace stood his ground and prepared to face the beast.

He first threw gryphon in his hands to a far place where he could still see him but the manner in which he threw the little gryphon was ungraceful.

The gorilla let out a deafening roar and charged towards Ace with incredible speed. Ace dodged to the side and landed a powerful punch on the gorilla's side, causing it to stumble. The gorilla quickly regained its balance and swung its massive arms at Ace, who ducked and weaved with impressive agility.

Ace continued to dodge and attack, his movements fluid and precise as he began to notice a few things from the short encounter he and the monster just had now.

One was that his speed and strength were superior to the gorilla's which caused him to be able to evade most of its attacks effortlessly. However, the gorilla was no pushover, and its attacks were powerful enough to knock down trees with a single blow.

'Truly a good opponent to experiment on', Ace thought as he went on to send an attack of his own.
