Shinji Matou POV
The rest of the school day passed without much fanfare though I couldn't help but notice the growing tension between me and Tohsaka. Her sharp glares whenever I interacted with Sakura were hard to ignore but it was all going according to plan.
The bell rang signifying the end of school.
"Brother Shinji I-I'm ready to go," Sakura said breaking me out of my thoughts her voice was soft almost hesitant.
I gave her a warm smile not because I suddenly genuinely cared for her it was just because of my earlier success "alright let's get going then...oh and don't worry you can buy whatever you want it'll all be on me," I said.
"Well if you insist then I wi-will," Sakura said nervously biting the inside of her cheek.
We made our way to the mall, where the afternoon sun cast long shadows across the busy streets the place was flooded with people doing their own shopping.
You know this actually isn't so bad usually I'd be annoyed with Sakura and be irritated with her but oddly enough I didn't feel any of my usual feelings.
Was I perhaps changing...nah I am only just doing this as a personal fuck you towards Tohsaka nothing more nothing less.
Sakura's voice broke through my thoughts as we approached a small café "would you like to sit down here for a bit, brother Shinji?" she asked eyes shining. I could tell she was genuinely enjoying the attention I was giving her and it made something uncomfortable twist inside me.
"Sure," I replied, following her to an empty booth "why not? It's been a long day and I guess having some coffee wouldn't be so bad," I replied as Sakura settled into the seat across from me still clearly unsure of how to handle this sudden 'change' I was showing.
She placed her hands in her lap still hesitant but the uncertainty in her gaze softened over our rather awkward silence "you've really changed, Shinji I didn't think you'd ever be this... nice."
I open my mouth to say something when the waiter arrived with our drinks.
The awkwardness of the situation was a bit too much for me to bear so I simply grabbed my drink and leaned back in my seat.
"So Sakura," I began, trying to divert the conversation to something else "I've been thinking you've been working hard lately, haven't you? School's been a challenge hasn't it?"
Sakura nodded looking a bit embarrassed "yeah it's been tough but I'm getting by."
"Well, if you ever need help with anything, you can always ask," I added, allowing myself a small smile "you know, as your older brother I'm supposed to help you out."
Her eyes brightened at my words and I could feel her warmth radiating toward me she was falling for my fake older brother persona.
We spent a few minutes in the shop conversing for a while before going towards some of the other shops.
I'll admit that it was kind of fun but when we returned back to the house whatever feelings I felt for that afternoon were promptly stripped from me the moment I saw Zouken waiting for us in the living room.
"Ah I did wonder when you two would get back," he said with a hidden hint of malice under his tone.
[Observe] I mentally commanded.

"So," Zouken crooned his voice as venomous as ever, "how was your little outing with Sakura?"
"It was fine," I said trying to keep my voice neutral "Sakura needed a break thought I'd indulge her for once."
Zouken's lips curled into something that might've been a smile if it weren't so unnerving. "indulge her, you say?" his voice dropped lower the malice clear in his words "funny... I don't recall you being the type to 'indulge' anyone especially her."
I clenched my fists my temper rising but I forced myself to remain calm.
He was trying to get under my skin to provoke me if I reacted the wrong way who knows what he'd do to me.
"People can change," I muttered deliberately said as if it were no big deal "maybe I decided to be a little more considerate after all I'm her older brother."
Zouken's beady black eyes narrowed his thin smile tightening "Is that so? Because I do wonder Shinji... what's with this sudden 'change'? It's not like you, is it?" the suspicion in his voice wasn't something I could ignore and for a split second I was sure he could sense something was off.
"Maybe I just felt like doing something decent for once," I said a bit of bite creeping into my words despite myself "not that you'd understand."
Zouken suddenly chuckled softly the sound almost a rasp "oh I understand just fine my boy...I understand perfectly well hehe," he ominously replied before gesturing to the silent Sakura "come girl you have training to do."
I silently watched as Sakura willingly followed the old man towards the basement with my hands unconsciously gripping the bag that has Sakura's things tight.
Someday I'd be strong enough to kill that old bastard and prove that I was better than him just count your days while you can old man, I thought walking up the stairs momentarily making a stop at Sakura's room to put her bag on the bed before going to my room.
I shut the door to my room exhaling sharply as I leaned against it my hands were still clenched, the phantom sensation of Zouken's eyes crawling over me refusing to fade.
In my frustration I went to toss the books on my shelf when a sudden ding stopped me.
[Skill Book Identified: Basic Alchemy has been Identified would you like to learn?]
[Y/N]
I stared at the notification floating in front of me dumbly...Alchemy? I didn't remember picking up a book on it but then again, I had grabbed a few random texts from the library in a half-hearted attempt to appear more "magus-like," since grandfather always looked down on me for lacking magic so it wasn't like I had many options at the time.
I pressed [Y] without hesitation and the book vanished away.
Another ding echoed in my mind.
[Skill Acquired: Basic Alchemy Lv1]: Allows the user to create simple potions, salves, and low-grade magical concoctions. Improves with practice and study.
A rush of information flooded his brain basic principles of transmutation, the importance of ingredients, and the fundamental laws of alchemy. I staggered slightly gripping the edge of my desk as my vision went dark before finally settling back to normal.
I suddenly looked down at the other books on my shelf....I had forgotten that I could learn skills automatically just from touching it.
Without wasting a second longer I touched each book which made the system ring out several notifications.

A wicked grin spread across my lips as I pressed the [Y] button.
A surge of knowledge crashed into my mind like a tidal wave of information being forcibly downloaded into my brain. My vision blurred, my head ached, and for a brief moment I felt like I might have blacked out but I endured.
Until finally it all vanished away, I exhaled sharply looking back up at my stat sheet.

"System is it possible to keep returning back to the tutorial dungeon?" I asked feeling pumped to try out my new skills and do some more grinding.
[Indeed it is, does the user wish to enter the Tutorial Again Dungeon again?][Y/N]
Before I selected [Y] I made sure to use my last stat point on AGI and then had my equipment ready before I went in.
The damaged short sword that I had before appeared in my grip while my brown +2 Defensive Goblin leather jacket replaced my school one.
Without waiting a second longer I entered the dungeon once more.
The environment shifted taking me back to the very same cave where I had killed those three rats monsters only this time there were no bodies and instead there was a group of ten goblins.
"Alright let's do this you bags of XP!" I exclaimed charging at them with speeds that I could never have done before.
[Sprinting Skill has activated!]
[Skill Obtained! Killing Intent LV1- The user excludes pure killing intention and having it affect their opponent and others around them up to the point of paralyzing them with fear (Currently Enemies at LV 1 to 10 will be effected by this skill)]
The goblins remained frozen upon seeing my charge at them for a moment they could swear they saw the human's eyes glowing purple with a shadow like outline behind him.
A wicked grin stretched across my lips "tch pathetic," I muttered before twisting my body mid-charge my short sword slicing through the first goblin's throat with ease.
[Critical Hit! – 80 DMG]
[Goblin (LV3) Defeated!]
[Skill Obtained! Breaking Dancing LV1]
[Breaking Dancing LV1- Is an energetic form of street dance it incorporates stylized footwork, acrobatic moves, and athletic spins such as back spins or head spins]
The moment my blade carved through flesh the spell of fear broke, and the rest of the goblins screeched in alarm but by then it was already too late for them.
I pivoted on my heel raising my free hand.
[Reinforcement LV1 Activated!]
Mana surged through my veins strengthening my muscles beyond their natural limits. The next goblin barely had time to react before my foot slammed into its chest sending it flying back into a jagged rock wall.
[Blunt Force Damage – 50 DMG]
[Goblin (LV2) Defeated!]
Two down eight to go.
The remaining goblins rallied screeching in their guttural language before lunging at me with crude knives and jagged clubs.
My body moved on instinct fueled by my perk skill [Threshold Breaker - Agility].
I weaved between their attacks sidestepping a club swing, ducking under a clumsy stab, and using [Sprinting LV2] to reposition myself behind one of the smaller goblins and pierced it's heart from behind.
[Backstab! – 90 DMG]
[Goblin (LV3) Defeated!]
Another goblin lunged wildly but my [Presence Concealment LV1] allowed me to shift my movement subtly, throwing off its aim just enough for me to counter.
My sword flashed, carving through the creature's abdomen in one clean motion.
[Goblin (LV4) Defeated!]
[Presence Concealment has increased by a level!]
[Presence Concealment LV2]
[Sword Combat has increased by a level!]
[Sword Combat LV4]
The four remaining goblins hesitated their crude weapons shaking in their hands a rational being might've cut their losses and fled but goblins? Goblins were stupid.
They roared and charged.
I clicked my tongue "Fine. Come and die then!"
[Madness Enhancement LV2 Activated!]
My blood boiled as raw power surged through my limbs amplifying my strength.
My vision tinged red at the edges and a manic grin stretched across my face.
The first goblin's club came crashing down I caught its wrist mid-swing and twisted. The sickening snap of breaking bone was drowned out by its shriek of agony I drove my knee into its gut before slamming my sword through its skull.
[Goblin (LV5) Defeated!]
[Skill Obtained! Martial Arts LV1]
[Martial Arts LV1] - The art of fighting with one's fists or body.
The last three barely had time to react before I was on them my sword carved through one's chest in a wide arc while I round house kicked another.
[Double Kill!]
[Goblins (LV4) Defeated!]
The final goblin turned to flee but I wasn't about to let the free bag of XP go.
I raised my hand summoning the Kyudo Bow and Arrow from my Inventory Gate that I stole from the club.
I nocked an arrow exhaled slowly and released.
The projectile whistled through the air before burying itself deep in the goblin's skull.
[Headshot! – 100 DMG]
[Goblin (LV4) Defeated!]
[Kyudo Archery Has Increased by a Level!]
[Kyudo Archery LV 36]
Silence.
Then the system suddenly rang in my ears.
[All enemies in the current wave have been defeated!]

I smirked as I equipped the upgraded jacket it wasn't exactly stylish but free gear was free gear.
A new notification pinged in my interface.
[Ding! User has reached level requirement to unlock Shop]
[Shop Unlocked!]
A new tab materialized in my interface glowing with a faint golden hue.
I tapped on it.
[Welcome to the System Shop! Here, you can purchase items, skills, and equipment using Gold, Silver, or Copper Coins.]
[You can also sell items that you do not want for currency]
[Current Balance: 10 Gold, 0 Silver, 0 Copper]
The shop interface displayed a variety of categories
[Weapons]
[Armor/Outfits]
[Skills]
[Items]
[Gatcha + You Have Three Free Tickets!]
I navigated to the [Weapons] section eager to see what was available.
The list included.
-Iron Short Sword (+10 ATK) – 10 Silver.
-Reinforced Hunting Dagger (+10 ATK, Bonus to Critical Hits) – 3 Silver.
-Bronze Spear (+6 ATK, Increased Reach) – 10 Copper.
-Basic Tanto (+5 ATK Bonus to Quick Draws) – 1 Silver.
-Mystic Code: Gandr Focus Ring (Boosts Gandr Curse Accuracy & Power) – 10 Gold.
-Mystic Code: Hidden Blade Gauntlets (Retractable, Silent Assassinations, Gun Mechanism, Has Minor Enchantment That Can Conceal the Blade with Invisible Air +7 ATK) – 9 Silver.
There were some other weapons that made my mouth practically water, but they were all blurred meaning I couldn't even afford to buy them I thought with a frown.
-Tsubame Gaeshi (???)
-Demonic Sword of Muramasa (???)
-Balmung (???)
-Gram Reforged (???}
-Gungir (???)
- Sword of Okita Souji (???)
-Excalibur Galatine (???)
[ETC...]
Damn it I wanted them all! Just thinking what I could do with those weapons made me giddy..sigh to bad I can't afford them just yet.
I move my hand and purchased the hidden blades mystic code and iron short sword to replace my currently cracked starter one.
As I confirmed my purchase both items were promptly transferred over to my inventory gate I quickly equipped them.
In a burst of white light the hidden blades appeared on both of my arms while the iron short sword hung by my hip.
I didn't bother picking a new skill since I wanted to first max out my existing ones.
[Transaction Complete! You have used 1 Gold Coin]
[Change 81 Silver Coins]
[Total Remaining 9 Gold, 81 Silver, and 0 Copper]
I raised an eyebrow at the message.
Damn, I guess 1 Gold Coin really went a long way in the System Shop not that I would complain about the fact since I had plenty of silver to use now.
My attention then shifted over to the [Gatcha] tab the ultimate temptation for all gatcha game player including myself and seeing as I have three free tickets, I'll try my luck out and hopefully get something good.
A smile tugged at the corner of my lips as I selected the first ticket.
The familiar almost addicting sound of the Gacha Wheel spun into motion each tick amplifying the sense of anticipation in my chest.
[Item Unlocked!]
The wheel stopped and the system chimed in a deep resonant voice.
Mystic Code: Mana Blade (Rank B)
This nameless blade can channel magical energy from the air to enhance physical strikes or release destructive magic +15 ATK, +10 INT.
[Mana Blade has been added to your inventory.]
Definitely a way better weapon then my short iron sword I thought switching the two weapons with the iron sword going into my inventory gate.
Then without missing a beat I pulled the next ticket.
The wheel spun again the clatter of each spin growing more intense.
[Item Unlocked!]
Steel-Fanged Gauntlets (Rank C)
Heavy gauntlets forged from enchanted steel, imbued with minor reinforcement magic. They increase strength and add a slight resistance to blunt damage +5 STR, +2 VIT.
[Steel-Fanged Gauntlets have been added to your inventory.]
Not as glamorous as the first item but still useful I guess.
Now for the final ticket hopefully it wouldn't be a letdown.
Crystalized Glasses of Sigurd (Rank A+)
A pair of mystical glasses worn by the legendary warrior Sigurd. These glasses enhance the wearer's perception of their surroundings, granting increased awareness of hidden traps, enemies, and mystical anomalies. Increases the user's INT by +30, with a permanent boost to Luck when using the glasses in combat. Additionally, the wearer can activate the ability Fafnir's Sight granting the ability to perceive any concealed truths, hidden intentions, or invisible foes for a limited time.
[Glasses of Sigurd have been added to your inventory.]
I blinked my jaw slack as I read the description.
The bonuses to my INT and LUC were outstanding, especially the Fafnir's Sight ability. Not only would I see through illusions, hidden traps, and concealed enemies but I'd gain insight into the true nature of whatever I faced.
Without hesitation, I equipped the [Glasses of Sigurd], the frames cool against my temples as they settled in place. I could see the fine details of every stone, every crack in the walls, every hidden danger in the dungeon.
I unsheathed the mana blade mystic code and pulled out the iron short sword I purchased as I slowly turned around.
[Ding! A Quest has been made survive the horde of goblins and rats that have formed a temporary alliance in order to take you down]
[Objective: Survive Until All Enemies are Dead]
[Rewards: 4,000 EXP and 10 Stat Points]
"So you've all formed an alliance aye?" I muttered with a malicious gleam in my eyes "well that's to be expected what can a bunch of weaklings do against me Shinji Matou!" I roared charging at them with both swords in hand.
-end chapter three-
I think it seems fine to end it here since I am getting way too exhausted to write another scene. Anyways let me know your thoughts so far in the comments.
