61 Chapter 61

After asking Nejire not to freak out like everyone else, she sat down next to me. I found it funny seeing how everyone was rushing out.

But I also saw it as a chance. I recorded everything with my Sharingan. Later, I would compare everyone's face to their usual behavior and see who wouldn't freak out in this situation. After all, there were some people who acted stoic all the time. Those who acted stoic now would be my primary suspects.

'Luckily, I didn't forget the detail about the spy in UA.'

A young muscular man stood on a table and helped organize everyone, especially those of the first year and non-hero courses. They were the most freaked out.

Once everything calmed down, an announcement came that it was just a bunch of journalists who broke into the school.

Since we didn't have a heroic course in the evening, I went directly home.

I was in the backyard, looking at the empty air and punching it.

'This will be my warm-up for the villains,' I thought as I moved my shoulders back and forth.

Since I had reached the 4th circle, which happened to be the bottleneck, thanks to my shadow clone practice, I could perform a considerable level of magic.

What I sought was assistance magic rather than offensive magic since I didn't need it.

I needed something more like buff spells. The problem with offensive spells at this level was the mass area. I had a few offensive spells that I bought. They were good, but they had a range problem. For example, I had a fire orb spell. It was 4th circle level, and it could create an explosion 60 meters long. It could be a hindrance if I had to consider friendly fire.

With my aura, I injured myself on purpose, creating a slash across my arm. It was very painful, but I needed to teach my body what to do if it ever felt this pain.

Then I cast a spell called Great Healing, as in the souls games, and a large amount of mana got used, healing my body instantly. It could heal all negative effects, from injuries to poison and disease.

Okay, the other spell, Stunning Flare, was a stunning type. A spell capable of creating a very strong light that could blind those who were exposed to it for ten minutes. Other than that, I had a spell for physical enhancement, enhancing power for 10 minutes, increasing both speed and power by 50%. It worked on allies as well. Keep in mind that it didn't increase any of my energies. Just pure physical power, which was good for me.

'With this, and plus the scrolls and other stuff I'm buying, there is nothing to be afraid of.'

I sat down.

Suddenly, my ear rang, telling me that there was a chat request.

The system's notifications usually didn't ring unless I gave them the option to. Very few people were on my priority list.

[Orochimaru requested a chat with you.]

'Is he going to brag about the Phasing Quirk,' I thought with a sigh. Thanks to Mirio's quirk sales, Orochimaru managed to reach the 4th level, which was very difficult to achieve. You had to be a productive person, able to compete against those magical researchers archmages to achieve that.

[If you are going to brag about your money, please don't,] I said.

[Is that how you show respect, young brat? I have to remind you that you're the one who refused to make money from it.]

[Yeah,] I said.

But honestly, I didn't have any regrets about not making passive income from that. If I made that deal, I would have started rolling in money a month ago. It meant that I wouldn't be at my current strength level today.

[You don't sound regretful. Did you achieve your purpose from training?]

[Not yet. I'm facing potential death tomorrow.]

[Fufufu.]

[Funny, isn't it?]

[We're technically in the same situation. I'm here to ask you to get me the modification quirk.]

[Is there a reason for that?]

[Since we're partners, I may tell you what lies ahead in the fourth level.]

[????]

[In my world, my Earth anyway, is just a part of a big universe. In the same universe, there are high plans, millions of light years away.]

[And? What does that have to do with dimensional trading?]

[I'm coming to that.]

[Go ahead.]

[You see, there are other dimensions, for sure. At the 4th level, we have what's called the immortal realm. At its bottom, there are aliens whose existence conflicts with my dimension.]

The system usually shows you the planet and the number. It would barely tell you if a different planet is in the same universe as yours.

Immortal realm. It was something people in the cultivation world were trying to achieve. Once one broke into the final level, the world would kick them into the higher planet, where they could cultivate immortal Qi and live forever.

Achieving that level in the system and buying resources from them could accelerate my training speed by many times.

[Let me guess. You got into a verbal conflict,] I said, chuckling. I think he was talking about the Otsutsuki people from the Naruto verse. So some of the plans from the same verse could have the system and be in a different level.

'Luckily, those guys don't exist in my world.'

[Yes. Although I'm cultivating with immortal resources now, some of these guys have the ability to alter reality itself after eating a certain kind of fruit that gives them power. And they have the system, so they may have cultivated longer than I did.]

A cultivator Otsutsuki who could access immortal realm resources… Yeah, I wouldn't want to face that too. And I didn't think they'd be poor. Aliens like these guys could go to any planet and extract gold and trade in the system as they want. It was an unfair advantage for them to exist in the 4th level. I heard that once these guys have enough chakra fruit, they could obtain unknown abilities.

I felt bad for the snake man.

Bad for him meant bad for me. It meant that no one would sell Stain's saliva or Mineta's balls to me.

Touching him would mean touching me.

As a man, I have to protect my income source. But… I'd take full advantage.

[I get you. So that's why you want to have the modification quirk. Hehe,] I said, leaving a laugh at the end.

It was another way to tell Orochimaru that he's at a weak position, and that I have his life in my hand.

Time to take advantage of him.
