Chapter 18 - Brain

As expected, the shadow clones in the library weren't found as there isn't anything really precious there, and most of the time there is no one there when students are in classes, so my clones got locked inside with all the books.

After the class ended, I choose to dissipate my clones, a huge mass of informations filled my head as I collected in an instant all the informations my clones gathered today, I closed my eyes focusing on ordering what they learnt, well today they read books explaining how to identify poisonous plants, and mostly theoretical knowledge about how to throw kunais, it seems that the math I learned in my past life is very useful and more advanced than what is explained in the books here.

Once back home, I greeted my parents, as usual, created a few clones to train my chakra control while I went to eat dinner

Dad: "So how was school today?"

Kayle: "It was good, we started learning how to read and write... too bad you guys already taught me all that! so I don't have much to do in class" I say cheekily

My mom pats my head as she is proud of having a small genius...

Mom: "Don't waste your time there, you can always train your calligraphy while others are learning the basics, and this way the teacher will see you are getting involved and doing your best"

Dad: "Haha You got the same brain as your dad !!!"

Me with sweat rolling down my forehead and looking at my mom pitifully

Kayle: *snif..sinf* "Mom? did I really get dad's brain ?"

My mom look angrily at dad and hug me in her arms

Mom: "Don't worry baby... your dad is definitely wrong... and if you were retarded I wouldn't hide it from you... you definitely got my brain"

Dad: "..."

Kayle: *placing my hand on my chest and sighting of relief*

Dad: "...wait a second..."

Kayle: "I hope I also got mommy looks... or else I will have a hard time marrying"

Mom: " Oh baby.. you are so sweet but don't worry, girls don't care that much about looks.. or else you wouldn't have existed and you definitely look more like me than your dad"

Dad: *Starting to tear up while looking toward the sky*

Dad: "I have no son...I definitely don't have any son"

*Me and mom smirking*

After joking for a good while with my parents, I decided to announce one of my recent decision.

Kayle: "By the way Dad! I decide to become an adventurer like you once I graduated from the academy"

Dad: "Well it's up to you Kayle to decide, but are you sure you don't want to be in a team like everyone else? it would be a good oportunity to gain experience safely"

Kayle: "I feel that I'm already ahead of the kids my age, it would only lower my training speed to have to do the basics genin missions"

Both my parents nod at me, they are the people that know me the most, they already know that I'm a kind of prodigy or something similar but never questioned me about it, they also helped me keep my secret as I told them I didn't want to be in the limelight and they agreed.

Dad: "Okay son, but on one condition, I don't want you to graduate early... this way you will have a lot of time to get even stronger, and I can also share my experiences with you and tell you about my differents acquaintances I had when I was younger"

And just like that my career was decided, I grabbed Maru that was by my side, and brought him to my room.

as I laid down on my bed while holding Maru on top of my head

Kayle: *sight*

the cat looks at me curiously while shifting his head to the side.

Maru: 'What is it?'

Kayle: 'Why is it that everyone gets cheats once they are reborn and I only get a cat I can talk to?'

Maru: 'Wow... you are finally talking to me after ignoring me for almost 4 years

Kayle: 'Well I only ignored you for two years... you were quite resentful after all... and I took great care of you the last two years...'

Maru: 'You didn't even try to talk to me all I got was good food and patting, and maybe you didn't get anything because of your karma, you were supposed to die alone... why bring me in this mess'

My face gets slightly flushed as I remember how I got a poor innocent cat hit by truck-kun..

Kayle: 'haha... sorry it's my bad... I hope you don't resent me too much... don't worry I'll make sure you are safe and always well fed'

Maru: 'There is no need for you to worry about that...'

I look at him curiously

Kayle: 'hmm, why is that?'

Maru: 'Well I did get my cheats...'

Kayle: '...'

Maru: *Smirk*

Kayle: '...'

Maru: *meow cutely*

Kayle: '... you... what did you say just now? i think I misheard'
