3 Chapter 3: The Dilemma of Limits

When I clicked to receive the reward, I stopped walking as the page of the book opened.

━━━━

[Bronze Limit Break Hammer] - Available

[Silver Limit Break Hammer] - Available

[Gold Limit Break Hammer] - Available

[9 Weekly Coins Credited]

━━━━

"Aizen?" Naruto called out, "Why did you stop?"

"Mm. I was thinking about something." I replied vaguely and started walking again. Soon, I opened the book to the page showing the available hammers and saw that the cheapest one cost 10 Weekly Coins, the silver one, 18, and the gold one, 45.

Clicking to expand the information, I was shocked by what I saw.

[Bronze Hammer: This item has the special power to break the limits of attributes that have reached their maximum value. The limit break range varies from 0 to 10. The chances of achieving a higher value will depend on your dedication and the degree of limit being broken (For example: 10/10 has more chances of achieving a higher value than 20/20)].

From what I saw, the only difference between the silver and gold hammers is the amount of break value increased; essentially, silver can reach 20 and gold can reach 50. The only advantage of buying them would be if one were confident enough to achieve a high value using these two last hammers, since the cost-effectiveness would be cheaper. However, if I failed to reach the maximum potential, it would be a waste.

Of course, in the information, the grade of the hammers also increases the chance of breaking the limits, meaning that even if I use the bronze hammer and break an additional 5 limits, the silver might reach 15 as it's easier to achieve a higher level.

However, this was something I couldn't afford to test, as up to this point, I didn't have that many coins. What I had could only buy the first hammer, and I hadn't yet enhanced any of my attributes.

'By the way, could I use these hammers to enhance someone else's attributes?'

It was a question worth pondering. If I were able, I would like to enhance the endurance and strength of my little sister, who might already be at the maximum limit due to her frail body...

While I was lost in my thoughts, Hinata was quieter while Naruto kept talking non-stop until we reached the school.

The rest of the day was simple, after all, if yesterday, which was Monday, we only had to attend, today we just needed to socialize, no significant class occurred worth mentioning. Well, not exactly nothing; I made more of an effort than usual to talk and create some bonds of friendship with some of the students, like Ino, Kiba, Choji, etc.

When I got home, my mother and little sister greeted me.

"I'm back." I said as I changed from my shoes to slippers.

"Welcome back, Big Brother~!"

Coming towards me with her arms open, my little sister almost jumped into my arms.

I hugged her, kissed her cheek, and asked, "Did you behave?"

"Yes, you can ask Mommy~" She replied with her cute, childish voice.

Touching her nose as I stepped back, my mother smiled at me: "Welcome, Aizen. Are you hungry?"

"Not really." I responded.

At the same time, I tried to use the book to view my little sister's page, but it required 11 weekly coins.

'Is this because of her special trait?' I speculated.

From what I observed at school, depending on the talent and my relationship with the person, the amount of weekly coins needed to access the page changes accordingly.

So, this means my little sister's special trait might even be more special than Sasuke's Sharingan, since although trying to observe Sasuke's page asked for 12 weekly coins, it must be considered that my relationship with him is at most as acquaintances who are studying in the same ninja school and are classmates.

Of course, when I tried with Naruto, it required 15 weekly coins, which made me think that this is due to the Kyubi sealed in his body, as it wasn't hard to befriend him. And, it can be said that my level of friendship was much superior to what I had with Sasuke.

As for my little sister, obviously my relationship with her is superior, she adores me and I play with her almost every day, except for the times I train at the clan's dojo.

A good example is the 5 weekly coins required to observe my mother's stats.

'Mm... For now, I'll wait to accumulate more weekly coins.' I murmured to myself.

My only concern is that the book does not follow the schedule of this world and, since today was Tuesday, I believe that these coins might reset on Sunday or Monday.

It's more likely to be Sunday, but you never know...

Now... How do I increase my weekly coins?

I presume that enhancing my relationships with people might help. That's why I was quite proactive in socializing today at school, but I don't know exactly what the end result will be...

"Big Brother?"

The tug on my clothes made me look down, meeting my little sister's gaze, which interrupted my scattered thoughts.

"Yes?" I smiled at her.

"Um... Can Big Brother play with me now?" She asked with her sweet, timid voice.

"Yes, let's play." I responded with a smile.

"Yay~" She almost jumped with joy, but that alone was enough to make her pant a little as she pulled me towards the toy box.
