8 8. Stats

(So it's been a while huh. I had started another fanfic so I figured I might as well update this one. Sorry and Enjoy)

_____________

"I'm home." said Yuki as he entered the house. He didn't hear a response so he started walking around the house and entered the dining room, only to find a plate of food covered in a thin layer of plastic with a note.

'Something came up at work so I had to rush back. Make sure to warm up your food! Love you!'

Yuki stared at the paper for a long time before he let out a long sigh. According to his memories, this happened more often than not.

It was actually surprising that the previous Yuki didn't turn out to be a delinquent without his parents around. Yuki thought it was possible since this was an anime world.

Even though he was disappointed, he still had a smile on his face. Just as he was about to throw away the paper, he realized there was still something written on the back of it.

'P.S. Say hi to your girlfriend for me ;)'

'...' (・_・'

Taking a deep breath to calm himself down, Yuki knew that his mother had misunderstood his reason for being out late. He decided to let it go, since it would be better than saying he was at a teacher's house.

He unwrapped his food and tossed it into the microwave. Yuki thought about his day and remembered the skills he had gained in the morning. He decided to check out the skills he gained today

Comment: Just above average.]

Yuki looked at his status with a weird expression on his face. Not only did he gain four new skills throughout the day, but his stats also increased by a considerable margin. He figured it was the effect of regaining some of the skills from his past life.

Looking at his now way above average intelligence, Yuki knew his current stats were close to his past life.

He cast another were glance at his skill [Running]. 'Why is running a skill. I mean it is if you run professionally I guess. Does that mean that everything I do can become a skill?' Yuki pondered to himself. 'And why is only one skill ranked above C level?' Yuki wished he could summon the system guide to ask it.

"Manuals?" he asked himself, only for a stack of books to appear in his arms, making him stumble from the weight. He sat them down on the nearby table.

Reading the names of the manuals, Yuki's face first morphed into confusion, before an expression of delight showed. He knew what these were. These were Martial Art Manuals! Some of the best in their fields no less.

[Hyoho Niten Ichi-ryū], [Krav Maga], [Bojutsu], [Taekwondo]!

Yuki had always wanted to master martial arts in his past life, but his father would always respond with "What's the use of martial arts when you have a gun."

Calming himself down, Yuki looked at his status screen and realized there were still items left.

Recalling the way he 'summoned' the books, Yuki tried the same with the items. "Sword, Combat Gloves, Staff?"

Just like in the books, the weapons all appeared in his arms. After coming into contact with them, he learned of the weapons' names.

[Mugen], [Shogekiha], [Yeoui]

As soon as he learned the names of the weapons, they vanished into particles before imprinting onto his back. Karma quickly ran into the bathroom.

Taking off his top, Yuki saw what looked to be a very realistic tattoo of a sword down his spine, a diagonal bo staff, and a pair of gloves hanging from the sword handle.

'This is gonna be a problem.' Yuki thought in frustration. 'Whatever, worst comes to worst, I'll just wear a shirt all the time.'

Yuki suddenly felt his stomach rumble. It just so happened that the microwave timer went off again at that very moment. Putting aside his curiosity for a moment, he sat down and started eating. "It's good." he thought as he ate another mouth fool.

Yuki suddenly felt his vision blur as his eyelid felt heavy. 'What the-' was the last thought he had before completely collapsing to the ground.
