( Haru Pov )
The next morning...
" Laters Gramps." I spoke as I left for school.
" Sure, sure, see you later, kid." Gramps waved me off.
Half an hour later, I entered my classroom and sat at the back of the class.
" Okay, everyone, today we'll be doing additions!" The teacher hot everyone's attention as she started writing on the board.
" Now 3 plus 7... does anyone know the answer?" The teacher looked at the students before setting her eyes on me.
' Sigh...' I sighed, knowing she'll pick me.
With her cheerful smile, she pointed at me.
" Haru! Do you know what's 3 plus 7?" She asked.
" Ten." I replied bored of this lesson already.
" That's right!" She clapped before putting a piece of candy on my desk.
It seemed to motivate the other kids to speak when the teacher walked back into the board.
' At least I got something out of this.' I thought as I ate the candy.
" Munch munch"
" Now everyone, it's time for a math test!" She announced, making the little children groan.
It was just additions.
[ Ding! New mission: Complete the test ]
[ Get full marks ] [ Rewards: 5 Sp ]
[ Finish it less than a minute ]
[ Rewards: 5 Sp ]
' Not really a challenge but sure.' I thought as I easily finished the test.
" So fast!?" Even the teacher was surprised as she took the test from my hand.
I rest my head on my arms and close my eyes.
Hours passed as the teacher taught other subjects and tested us.
Today, I managed to get 35 Sp as I walked home.
I arrived home and opened the door to see the old man sleeping on the couch from watching TV.
I sighed and went to my room and did my homework to get it over with.
I easily finished and started looking at my system again.

" Hmm... Spirit?" I clicked the [Spirit]
[ Spirit: 6 ]
( Description: The force of one's will.)
' So it's like my mental strength.' I nodded as I looked at the store again.
' Let's see...'
I looked at the items tab.
There were charms, blueprints, and an orb that regenerated mana.
There were also common items like a pen or glasses.
' Yeahh, I'm not buying those.' I thought as I canceled the panel.
' Now, what should I do?' I thought myself as I looked around the room and spotted a book.
' Books...that's right! From other novels, I could learn skills from books!'
' But still, I had held other books before. Does it even work? Or does it only apply to certain books?' I tapped my chin before trying to find any kind of books in the building.
There was a shelf of books in the house as I walked towards it and took any books I could reach except the one at the top.
' Sigh, nothing. And I can't reach the rest.' I frowned as I looked at the books that were higher than I could reach.
I could only stare and choose to walk away to find any books, but nothing.
I sighed as I climbed onto the couch and sat next to Gramps, who was asleep.
I watched TV for a while and noticed the main characters playing with paper airplanes.
" Hmm..." I looked at the newspaper on the table before grabbing it and started making an airplane.
I gently tossed the airplane into the air.
' Wind Gust.' I pointed my palm at the airplane as a light gust of wind gently pushed it further.
I watched as the paper airplane flew before landing to the ground.
I continued to do this over and over again, observing the way the wind carries the airplane through the air.
I did this until I ran out of mana.
[ Ding Mana exhaustion is in effect]
" Ugh." I groaned as I felt my entire body devoid of energy.
I sat on the floor before laying in the ground.
' Imma get some... sleep.'
( Gran Torino Pov )
" Groan." I groaned awake as I noticed I slept with the Tv on.
Grumble!
I held my stomach, feeling hungry.
" I should make some taiyaki." I muttered as I got off the couch and spot Haru on the floor sleeping.
I frowned as I observed the kid before relaxing.
" Brat must've overused his quirk." I shook my head as I stepped on him, which didn't awaken him.
" Yawn~!" I yawned over my hand as I got my taiyaki from the refrigerator and put it inside the microwave.
" Hmm~hm~hmm~" I tapped the counter, watching my spin in the microwave.
Ding!
" ohoho!!" I laughed as I took out the taiyaki on a plate and brought it to the table.
I was about to eat when I noticed Harus arm grabbing a piece of Taiyaki with a tired expression.
He quickly ate it as I stared at him as he walked to the couch and slept.
' I'll remember this brat.'
( Yuto Pov )
" Wha–what time is it?" I rubbed my eyes as I looked out the window to notice it was dark outside.
" Ugh, damn it." I stood, got off the couch, and dragged myself to my room.
The next day...
After school, I began to work on my wind element.
I would gently push the airplane, then run to the other side and gently push the airplane towards another direction.
Gramps watched from the side observing me.
Then, before I could rest, Gramps trained me again.
This time, it was flexibility as I had to hold my leg up by a rope.
I groaned in pain as I held my thigh that was hung up.
" I.. I think I'm gonna die." I groaned but was soon hit by the old man's cane.
Thwack!
" Ah!" I shouted in pain.
" Stop complaining, brat!" Gramps shouted as he continued to hit me with a cane.
" Keep your leg straight!"
" Gaahh!"
