General PoV:
Sitting in the dull class, as the lecturer slowly chipped away at the listeners' attention; Boring them with analysis of Shakespeare's literature and its influence on modern day literature as well explaining the so called "deep meaning" in his words.
Finally, as Ash was done with organizing his thoughts and setting out his first 5-year plan, the first lecture of the day ended. The next class Ash and Daevion had together was at 10 AM after a short break.
Ash and Daevion made their way to the cafeteria which was the largest student gathering on campus at basically all times of the day. As they sat down Daevion asked "So… what is your plan moving forward? I know for a fact that a person of your talent won't limit himself to such a boring and backward planet for too long. I understand that coming to this so called "University" is a form of cover to your identity while on this planet but why even go that far? Why not just spend your time growing your skills and then leave to explore the vastness of the universe?"
During the short time they had spent together, Daevion with his keen eye could immediately discern the immense talent and potential that Ash had hidden within him.
Even without a keen eye it was easy to tell that he was easily above average in all aspects. Just the rate of his growth in terms of familiarity in combat skills was a clear giveaway. Let alone his energy reserves that was growing at a monstrous rate compared to the normal person.
Ash didn't answer him directly and instead just observed his surroundings calmly, watching as the mix of colors that were people's clothes blended together forming a magnificent picture, just as their interactions will slowly form their future, as well as the future of the planet.
"We'll leave this planet in a month's time, before that I need to get something done."
And with that, they continued with their day normally. And slowly a week's time passed.
___________________________________
During this week, not much happened. Ash and Daevion continued with their normal routine. Everyday, they would train in the sealed off mountain. After that, they would head to university to attend their courses (something both of them were getting sick off as they found it useless). After getting back Ash would focus on his cultivation while Daevion recuperating from his injuries. And then repeat.
Ash's main goal was accomplished as well. Getting the shadow clone no jutsu(Mana edition) - i.e the supreme clone summon. Using it to the fullest, he would make 3 clones every day. 1 would be sent to university to take his place, the rest would fight in duels constantly. Gradually improving Ash's combat sense and ability. As he improved his mana capacity he would obviously be able to summon more clones to get things faster, snowballing his growth.
Ash's main body used all his time on improving his chakra reserve level as well as learning more jutsus from the system. He obviously did not forget to start learning kekai genkais, kekai totas and the rest of the "bloodline" abilities that the village of the mist was so famous for. And after a week's time of cultivation, Ash reached the level of a late-stage E-rank ninja, just a small step behind D-rank.
Obviously in terms of strength, he would wipe the floor with any chunin rank ninja with the help of a cornucopia of jutsus that he has access to.
Not much else happened during this short span of time, and Ash and Daevion were ready to move on to the next stage of the plan.
As they sat in the hotel room late at night, with dim light from a candle that emits a soothing order that increases cultivation speed by 5%(bought from the system, obviously.)
The energy of heaven and earth was swirling around in the room visibly, as chakra was being absorbed by a certain individual en masse.
Slowly but surely, Ash was increasing and enlarging his chakra pool, bit by bit.
Eventually, his chakra pool reached the tipping end, immediately becoming turbulent as he approached the limits of an E-rank. And absorbing the surrounding chakra, Ash was promoted to a D-rank ninja with one fell swoop.
Daevion only slightly opened his eyes to the disturbance caused by Ash breaking through. The more he witnessed Ash's monstrous talent the greater his shock grew.
Even he -- the last of the blood race, a talent only seen in a 100,000 years - could not compare. At the rate Ash was progressing, it was terrifying what he could achieve in his lifetime.
--Daevion PoV ---
The more he thought about it, the more Daevion felt that Ash was some reincarnation of a great talent from an era before. Several rumours had circulated about great figures of the modern times claiming them to be reincarnations of previous great figures. Some legends claim that anyone who has reached the Transcendent realm and beyond have a great chance of reincarnation. But overall, there was no definitive proof.
Certainly the blood race also had some legends that certain rulers have reincarnated, but Daevion didn't have access to the entire heritage of the blood race. The ancient library has long been destroyed along with their mother planet.
Even in this highly advanced technological age, advanced civilizations didn't keep all their information on the net. It is believed that in such a highly developed era that nothing was completely safe on the Internet. No matter how confidential and safe a website's security was, within a couple of years hackers would be able to breach through loopholes or certain exploits that weren't found before. Thus having a physical copy in a secure spot was believed to be the safest option to protect highly confidential archives...
It was useless to think about such stuff. The reign of the blood race is now nothing but ancient history.
Even he, the last heir of the this race, was reduced to nothing but a slave.
Suddenly Daevion, felt something off. 'Why aren't the energy undulations stopping... a breakthrough at such a low level shouldn't cause such a disturbance in the force...*'
