Yashiro felt his insides were burning… the pain was strong...
Without hesitation he took all the pills from his inventory and tossed them in his mouth, gulping them down.
"Ping!"
Low Medicine Pills used
[Effect]
Healing the user of physical and mental wounds.
He felt that the pain within him was slowly healing .
' I need to get more of these in the future ' He thought while he tried to stand up.
' Now, that was a crazy fight… to think that the principal can use Ki, and he is strong, this is like a School Shounen anime ! I just need some girls, and I'm the mc ' He thought , while he laughed with pain.
'But damn it.. that guy was a monster…no… I was a fool '
'To think he will spare me just because I would lick his foot, I really should increase my intelligence… this is not how the world work…''
' The stronger commands the weak… that is a principle that is taught even in our school's…'
' You are taught that if you don't get strong, you will be nobody…'
' Even if being strong is meant in a lot of ways… being intelligent and wise, being strong and fit, being talented and handsome… all of these are a way of being strong…'
' And because of that, I can't let myself… be the weakest guy… I can't let myself be the rag, that someone cleans their sweat..'
' I made a promise… and I'm planning on keeping it !
' First off, I really should go out before someone sees me' Yashiro thought, before dashing through the door.
After some time
"Phew, finally made it home " Yashiro said with a relief.
He sat on the bed , and tried to think .
' Now what do I know about my power ? '
' Let's see, first off, I have, by what it seems, an infinite inventory… a stat tab, where I can see all of my stats…. '
He opened the stats tab
Ki : This seems like the amount of Ki he can harness… but he isn't sure
[Strength] : It seems that this attribute affects my striking and lifting power.
[Endurance] : This, raises my body stamina and defense.
[Dexterity] : It seems this affects my speed and reaction time.
[Intelligence] : This affects my intelligence.
[Luck] : For the moment, I don't really know what this does, but I think it will affect my luck, as if, I would play the lottery, and win .
He switched to the skill tab
[Punch] : It seems, that this skill make's me use a perfect punch, which can utilize 100% of my [Strength] attribute
[Ki control ] This can let me control my Ki… I wonder… if this is like Dragon Ball … could … could I learn to fly ? Or shoot Ki waves like them ? But how could I level it up?
Not only that, it seems that if I reach a specific number of attributes, I will get new things… seems logic…
Now I wonder, what attribute should increase … well for me… it seems obvious… the attribute that will help better than anything else… [Intelligence] !
Yashiro, without a breath, he took his jacket, and he headed out for the library once again..
He had begun reading all of the books he found interesting.
"Ping!"
[Intelligence] was increased by 2 !
"Ping!"
[Intelligence] was increased by 1 !
"Ping!"
[Intelligence] was increased by 1 !
But as he focused more on reading, he heard a voice .
" Yashiro…" Yashiro ! "
"Am.. yes, Mifume-San ? "
"Dear, it's closing time, you should head home " She told me, with a calm voice while she patted me on the head.
"Sorry for bothering you Mifume-San, I should have gone sooner. "
"It's not a problem"
"I should get going then" Yashiro said.
'Damn it… until 1 point left, until I have 10… by what it looks, it gives me something, every time I increase it by 5 points… oh well.. I wonder what will I get this time…'
As he arrived home, he took the book " How to become rich " , and read it again…. But no use, he didn't hear the notification pop…
'Huh, so it seems I can't read the same book twice, well too bad '
"Heh…" Yashiro sighed… as he didn't have any other book, other than that.
'Well, let's watch some TV then.' He thought…. Even if he needs to become stronger, he needed some joy too!
But then, he came to a realization… TV… Channels… Documentary ! .
That should make a person more intelligent….
That maybe could let him make one more point of intelligence !
As he took the remote, in a lustful rush, he switched the channels, looking for a Documentary until he found one….
He stood there… and watched it…
1 Hour...
2 Hours….
3 Hours….
"Ping!"
[Intelligence] was increased by 1 !
"Finally".. he said in relief
"Ping!"
Achievement achieved !
[The Inspector's Insight ! ]
Got 1000 CEXP!
Insight feature evolved !
"Hm… Insight feature ?'
He checked his stat screen, and saw
Level : 5 XP : 0/10000
Rank : 1* Charcoal Fate
[Effect's] : None.
Ki : 200
[Strength] : 10 [ + ] - ( Peak Human Level )
[Endurance] : 45 [ + ] – ( 1*Bronze Fate Level )
[Dexterity] : 7 [ + ] - ( Peak Human )
[Intelligence] : 10 [ + ]
[Luck] : 1 [ + ]
Attribute points : [0]
Wait… intelligence increased Ki ?...
' Bronze Fate ?' Interesting…
'This is a great ability… I can see exactly how strong or weak I am, just by looking at the stat tab.. neat ' …
'But.. I should ask the Principal about what, these Fates means...'
'But I hoped for a battle skill.…'
'Sigh'….
As he began thinking for ways to improve his attributes, he again, stumbled up on a problem… how does he increase Ki… because right now, he doesn't want to be attacked like before…
But an idea stumbled inside his head…
' If in Dragon Ball, they used to meditate, I should do the same ' He thought.
He stood on the floor, cross-legged, with closed eyes, and with palms clenched together.
He completely let out everything he had on his mind…he just concentrated… he concentrated at the sensation he has in his body… the sensation of the Ki that flowed within him….
He was one with the life, and the life was one with him….
The calmness of the situation was unbelievable ….but that was interrupted by a sudden familiar noise.
"Ping!"
[Meditation] skill was created
If used, the user will enter in a state of meditation, where he would perfection his Ki control.
Achievement achieved !
[Being one with nature ! ]
Got 2000 CEXP !
"[Intelligence] you godly skill …"
After that, he opened his skill tab
Skills
[Punch]- (Active) : Level 4 XP 100/10000
[Ki Control ]- (Passive) : Level 1 XP 0/1000
[Meditation] – (Passive) : Level 1 XP 0/500
After he saw [Meditation] he cross-legged sit again, and he murmured to himself.
' [Meditation] '
At that moment, he exactly knew what he was doing, as he entered in a state of complete silence, as the Ki, begun flowing trough him.
After 1 Hour
"Ping!"
[Meditation] Completed !
[Ki Control ] + 200 XP
[Meditation] + 50 XP
And thus, he began to grind the [Meditation] Skill for another 4 Hours.
"Ping!"
[Meditation] Completed !
[Ki Control ] leveled up to level 2 !
[Meditation] leveled up to level 2 !
The [Suppress] feature was added.
Now you can stop leaking your Ki away, being undetectable to people around you !
'This is…really…really good ! ' He said, with a happy face, like he was saved from death… again.
This was a god feature for Yashiro, because with his current power, he could have been killed some moments ago, because he was detectable.
He looked at the window… it was darkness…. Thanks god to the high endurance, he thought he could stay up all night, but after some time, he went to sleep because of boredom.
"RING" RING" RING"
The Phone's Alarm was ringing again…
"Oh man… I don't really want to get to that school again… ''
'No… I really need to ask the Principal some questions… so I will go ! ' Yashiro thought, as he changed his clothes and brushed his teeth.
As he arrived at the School, he couldn't help, but see the commotion that was going on.
"Kids, please don't get close to the basketball building, we are trying to repair it, so it's dangerous to get close ! A masculine voice was heard from the crowd.
As Yashiro entered on the School Grounds, he was greeted by a familiar voice .
"Hey man, what's up? " Said Soshu, with a smile
"Eh, nothing much.. just going to school . "
"You are a bummer man, anyway, did you heard about what happened at the basketball building ? " Soshu asked
" No… what happened ? " Asked Yashiro with a confused look…while trying his best to hide his lying face.
"The Principal said that there was an explosion because of some gas tanks, but that doesn't really makes sense, since there is no fire trace "
"Hm.. interesting.."
"Speaking of the Principal, did you saw him?"
"Yeah, he was in his room"
" Oh thanks, well I need to ask him some things, so bye ! " Said Yashiro while he left Soshu with an annoyed look…
"What a bummer…." Soshu sighted…
Arriving at the Principal's office, the door seemed old. But that didn't really mattered
He entered.
"Principal ? Can I come in ?"
"Yes.. make yourself at home " Said an old voice.
Yashiro looked at the office… it was nothing strange, some bookshelves there, a desk, a table, and a couch.
"Yashiro, please take my apologies for kicking you…but it was justified, you put a lot of persons in danger, and I just needed to let my anger flow "
"Now I see you changed your Ki Problem"
"Indeed you are a strange one, not only I can't see your power level, but you learned to hide your Ki, in a mere day..."
"When I was a kid, my geezer used to lock me in the house until I could have learned to hide my Ki"
"It took me a week, and that was considered quite a talent"
"Principal, I want to ask you something"
"Sure "
"What does Charcoal Fate, Bronze Fate, Iron Fate mean ?"
" Oh.. what a simple question…"
"They are one of the Ki Ranks "
" Charcoal Fate, Bronze Fate, Iron Fate, Silver Fate, Obsidian Fate, Gold Fate, Diamond Fate and Purple Diamond Fate "
"Thanks ! "
"No Problem… but I may ask.. why did you wanted to know that "
"Well you see… I want to get stronger… no… I want to be the strongest !" Yashiro answered with a passionate voice.
"Boy… sit down.. and listen well…"
" You see… in this Earth, as you know already, there aren't only normal people…
There are people who broke through their shell… with hard earned methods or with.. 'another' methods….
There are people who use the power they have for good… there are people who use their power for evil…
Of course, there is a matter of opinion.. because.. I use my powers to help this school, to make this school a safe place for kids… but I don't consider it as a good way. Because for me it's just a pleasure, to help kids.
Because for some people this is good, for some people this is bad… it's just a matter of perspective.
Athletes, Martial Arts Fighters , Actors, Singers… even Chiefs.. use their power to obtain personal gain.
"It's not easy"
"As the natural law goes, the stronger one eats the meat, while the loser eats nothing."
"They are fighting for everything… there are organizations, sects.. Companies… who use their power for "Good" or "Evil"
You need to think , if you want to step on this world…
Remember… at the School, no one will touch you… I can guarantee your protection… but outside the School ? I can't do very much .
I'm personally chained to some rules as well… as I'm in a Sect's Territory.
So I can 't just attack someone outside this school, without a very good reason.
Even if I would… I'm not the strongest around here… I personally
I'm just a 1*Silver Fate, there are still much stronger entities out there…
You need to be careful Yashiro !
"Thanks again Principal, but why did you told me this?"
"Because I don't want another student to take another dark path… "
Yashiro stood there looking at the Principal….
"Thanks… thanks very much ! " Yashiro said again, with an emotional voice .
"But Principal… one more thing, in what territory are we? " Yashiro asked
" The Necron Sect …"
