Leopin was born with extraordinary dexterity, a gift he used from childhood to help others through various crafts. Along with his friends, he enrolled in the prestigious Royal Pioneer Academy. But during the entrance ceremony’s “Ritual of Ability Development,” his assigned status was shockingly bleak:
– **Occupation:** Unemployed
– **All stats except dexterity locked at their base values, unable to grow**
– **Skill:** “Dexterous Poor” (a misleading label suggesting uselessness)
Branded as worthless, his classmates shunned him, and he was exiled to the “Special Training Class”—a dumping ground for failures. Left alone, Leopin soon discovered the hidden potential of his so-called “Dexterous Poor” skill. In truth, it allowed him to:
– **Convert his dexterity stat into any other stat at will**
– **Switch his occupation to anything he desired**
With this revelation, he began mastering every role he needed. First, he became a **Lumberjack** to gather wood, then a **Carpenter** to build the finest house in the academy. He turned into an **Appraiser** to identify rare treasures, a **Battle Axe Warrior** to fend off hostile students, a **Ranger** to explore dungeons, and a **Ninja** to bypass traps effortlessly.
Completely self-sufficient, Leopin thrived alone. His prowess drew admiration—his childhood friend, a saint, adored him, and a brilliant alchemist grew fascinated by his abilities. Meanwhile, the classmates who had cast him out watched in bitter regret as their own fortunes crumbled. Stuck in shabby huts, unable to venture beyond basic tasks, they slowly lost their standing in the academy, their arrogance leading to their downfall.
*Note: “Dexterous Poor” isn’t about weakness—it’s a play on the phrase “Jack of all trades, master of none.” While others dismissed it as worthless, Leopin proved that true mastery lies in adaptability.*
