Chapter 5 | Progress

It's been 3-4 months since I've been reincarnated into this world, right now it's already the beginning of June and I have been training dedicatedly everyday. I've been beginning to worry as the invasion of the Appellaxians has been drawing closer and closer, now it's only 9 or so months away.

On a happy note, school will be ending soon and I have continues to secure my basically perfect results. I was offered to skip a grade as well but I declined, not wanting to ruin my chance of getting in Barbera Gordan's good book.

Maybe it's due to the affect of [Last Shinigami] and [Genius] but my training has been going well in terms of the [Basics of...] books. My Reiryoku has reached average level, I also made great progress in Kido arts. 

Although the [Basics of Kido] was mostly just and introductory book and had only a few Kido in them, I'd mastered the techniques that where in it to the level of [Eishōhaki]. I had learned the basic spell of all 3 Kido families; [Bakudō #1. Sai], [Hadō #1. Shō], [Kaidō]. Although [Kaidō] didn't have a numbered system I could use it to a basic degree and heal most wounds excluding fatal or deep wounds. It could take me a few minutes to heal a few cuts and up to an hour for deeper wounds due to level of my current Reiryoku control.

My [Status] had changed quite a bit, mostly in terms of my skills...

___________________________________________

My [Zanjutsu], [Hakuda], and [Hohō] had all been added to my skills list and reached a basic level, however, I was sure it would level up soon.

In terms of fighting power, I'd reached the level of a graduated student of Shinōsreijutsuin and was beginning to approaching to the level of a seated officer.

Another change  was that I had made a few showings in terms of my Hero career. Although for now I had mostly targeted small time criminals and no super villains I was starting to pile some good fighting experience.

Some of those crooks even started calling me by an alias; ghost, which was quite funny considering I'm a Shinigami.

Luckily Batman is still just starting his hero careers having only started heroism for about 3 years and was still to busy dealing with the big time criminals to notice me. He still had quite sometime until he would realize he needs some help and pick up Dick Grayson. I could try to nab myself the title of Robin, but if I did that all my privacy would get dropkicked out the window and land in a well filled with bats.

Annoyingly I hadn't really gotten any new missions, though I had completed the Side Mission: [Fix Your Appearance]. Surprisingly the reward was pretty good...

Standing in front of a mirror, stood a short, white haired boy, with Turquoise eyes. he was wearing a plan back shirt and jeans. He had just taken a shower but looked annoyed.

''Is this good enough, Aroura?'' He said as he stared at his reflection in the mirror.

[Yes. Your appearance has satisfied the mission criteria of [Fix Your Apearance]]

Although they where all skills and items that increase my charm, they where quite useful, especially [Entrancing Voice]. The [Skin Care Hot Spring...] was also a good bonus since I could take a bath anywhere.

Honestly speaking weather it's in real life or heroism physical appearance is actually important because it affects the public opinion of you. Someone more attractive will almost always be valued higher during the first impression.

And now I would go from a 8/10 to a perfect 10/10 while as a kid, when I get older I'd be a damn 20/10.

Moving on I had begun to practice properly utilizing Hyōrinmaru, at this point I'd realized just how powerful Hyōrinmaru really is. I wasn't even able to properly use her Shikai but I could still utilize quite a bit of ice in it's normal form.
