Chapter 32: The Limits of Puberty

Looking at the pages of my classmates, I could perceive that most of those who entered puberty had already had their limits expanded.

Those who were once stuck at an X value of an attribute could now start to rise again. When I said this, I could see their joy; after all, this meant they were no longer restricted to an X value of a certain attribute.

Thinking about it, my little sister is already 10 years old, her puberty has already begun, however, the limit of her attributes has not yet increased. But, by my calculations, there is still time; many of my classmates only had an increase in their limits at 11 and 12 years old, some have not even had it yet. Maybe only at 13 or 14 years old they will have an increase.

The reality is that my own attributes have not had an increase yet. Of course, I considered that it might be because I myself broke the limit; maybe that interfered. However, I am still 12 years old, there is still the possibility that my limits will increase without prior notice.

━━━━

The next morning, I woke up early, but as part of my routine, I opened the book and looked at my page, initially, I didn't pay much attention to it, but... When I looked closer, I was amazed.

━━━━

It was too much of a coincidence. Just yesterday, I was thinking about increasing my attribute limits. Today, waking up, I discovered that each of my attributes had an increase of 50 or more!

This value is even higher than the growth of my classmates. Even famous clan geniuses, like Kiba, had a maximum increase of 40 points.

"Is it because I left my clones training while I was at ninja school?" I thought.

The logic behind this thought was that using clones accelerated the increase of my attributes, enhancing my growth. This led my attributes to be maximized thanks to my rapid progress.

The fact that one of my attributes reached the 200 mark made me very happy and satisfied. With this, I don't need to worry about buying attribute limit-breaking hammers for a while. I can focus my spending on talismans and nutritious pills.

By the way, sometimes, I feel like there should be more things available to spend the weekly coins on. So far, the only way I've found to make new items appear for sale was through missions. However, no new mission has appeared for quite some time.

[Later at the Dojo]

Swallowing a golden nutritious pill, I created twenty-five Yin-Yang Wind clones, and swallowing another, I created another twenty-five Yin-Yang Lightning clones.

Each clone received a total of 2 green nutritious pills. This amount was enough to make my clones able to train until I got back from ninja school.

"Okay, I'll leave you guys alone," I said.

They all looked at me with a small smile and waved.

Honestly, having so many of me doing this was an unusual situation, giving me a strange feeling.

But, if I want to progress faster, I need to rely on my clones. Now, my progress would be 50 times greater than before... Well, or almost that, actually, I noticed that it cannot be calculated this way. Although I received the training result of the 50, because it was all at once and, with similar results, the progress itself is basically 90% for each 1 clone of the result I would have training.

This happens because, while training, I make progress and keep improving, and so on. Although the clones are similar, there is a loss of about 10% of progress.

Well, they are still 90% of each clone, I have nothing to complain about. And, thinking that it was not enough, my clones had the nutritious pills I left with them, this by itself, will make them train without the need for prolonged rest, at most a short break to swallow and digest the nutrients of the pill before returning to training.

While my clones trained, I also began to train.

━━━━

Around noon, sweating heavily after training a lot, I stopped while panting.

Sitting on the Dojo's tatami, after grabbing a water bottle, I wet my wrist and took a big gulp, murmuring softly, "Book."

The moment the book appeared, I started flipping through the pages that had already been opened by me. I saw some progress, mainly from my classmates, but I was totally surprised by the page I opened next.

━━━━

[A new mission available]

Mission Number (1): [Sakura Haruno feels demotivated] - [Details: Help her feel good about herself] - [Reward: Depends on the degree of impact caused by your intervention]

━━━━

Expanding the mission, I touched my chin as I read. The information said that Sakura was feeling demotivated for several reasons, but mainly because of me.

Her situation was almost at the level of depression, although not that severe. It seemed that, especially after losing the duel against Ino, her motivation was low. Losing the duel against her rival, and me seeing it, made her quite depressed.

After so long without missions appearing, I simply don't know why the mission that appeared seemed so simple... Well, whatever it is, I'll still do it, no matter if the reward is big or not.

First, I'll try to meet her and ask her out on a date.

━━━━

Please, don't forget to drop at least 1 Power Stone, it motivates me a lot!

Chapter 43 is already released on Pa treon!
