Chapter 9

(POV Change to Yu-Won)

I pulled out Suruhtra's heart and firmly hold it in my hands, feeling the intense heat.

[Giant's Heart]

ᗌ Classification : Elixir.

ᗌ The heart of the Demon-Giant Suruhtra. Born in the fire nation, Suruhtra exuded the strength of a Giant and a fiery aura with this heart.

ᗌ It holds a great amount of mana.

ᗌ It holds the power of a Giant.

The red gem was an 'elixir' by the name of Giant's Heart.

'I want to take it right now…'

I inspected the status of his body.

'But that might be difficult.'

Giant's Heart was a pretty dangerous elixir. Not only did it hold a great amount of mana, it was an elixir that changed the musculoskeletal structure of the person that consumed it. It required a great amount of stamina to intake so much power.

Right now, My body was a wreck after the fight with Suruhtra. On top of that, the icy aura from the Arctic Steel Sword and Ice Crystals was still inside me, so there was a great chance that the icy aura would dilute the fiery aura.

"Are you finished?" The Administrator appeared.

I turned around to see the source of the voice behind him. I replied after putting the Giant's Heart in his inventory.

"I'm about halfway done."

The Administrator massaged his forehead. He knew what was coming.

"Time for me to get my reward."

"I already heard an earful from the other guys because of you, and the other guy…"

The Administrator shook his head and let out a deep sigh. He must have had a pretty big headache.

"The balance of this Tutorial is completely fucked."

I on the other hand recalled memories that I had of the so-called 'other guy', Gojo Satoru, the brightest star the Tower has ever seen, He was the one to break Son Oh-Gong's record for becoming a ranker. Sadly, that was all he could accomplish, he made the wrong enemies. Namely Olympus and Asgard. One man would be hard-pressed to survive against one of these, but he had to fight both. He made a valiant effort, but eventually succumbed to the constant fighting. He deliberately didn't let me or the old man join in to fight his fight.

It wasn't all bad tho, I was one of the few people that he had in his Player Kit, he would contact me every so often even when he got targeted. We had a friendship that was special to me. He believed in me even when I didn't believe in myself. He never could get along with the old man tho. I was taken out of my thoughts by the Administrator.

"Well, you are first going to go to the final area. The 4th Tutorial is currently in progress, and it's almost over."

"It's almost over?"

I realized that I must have actually been passed out for a while. The 4th Tutorial's theme was a defence that lasted a whole day. I had assumed that I wouldn't be able to join the 4th Tutorial midway, but things were progressing much faster than I had anticipated.

"How much time is left?"

"There's four hours remaining. You can just relax and wait until then."

"Four hours, you say…"

The 5th Tutorial was the final trial required to enter the Tower. Because of that, it had the highest difficulty, as well as the longest duration.

Four hours.

I nodded my head.

(Change POV to Gojo)

I was looking at my status and I questioned something I should have a while ago.

'System, why did you want me to get Basic Arcane Sword?'

[Because when proficiency is 100% and the user has the 'Master Of Martial Arts' skill it creates the skill 'Sword Ki'. You do not need to be told how good Ki can be, it carried you against Fenrir. It also creates the skill 'Sword Mana' if you have the skill 'Master Of Mana'. Just like Mana, it will be very versatile. It also will not be hard to get to 100% because of your blessing increasing this skill growth by a lot since it is the 3 categories of Battle, Martial Arts, and Magic and its low rank]

'Wow! Thanks!' I was surprised by the amount of information the system actually had. I don't know how much time I have left until the 5th tutorial so I probably shouldn't Meditate since I'll lose track of time. The next best thing I guess would be to practice my innate skill, but hearing the system's reasoning got me thinking like maybe increasing Basic Arcane Sword might be better, then there's the skill I got from the Giant's Heart Absolute Zero.

Then I had a thought, wouldn't it be better to train all three?

I steeled myself and made a rudimentary sword out of my Absolute Zero Skill and made a barrier with Barrier Master as well, it was very natural, it was just my first time but I didn't need to even move to get it to appear. I decide to walk away to see if they stay around if I walk out of the 5m radius. As I thought, It does work outside of the radius. I go back and make up more barriers that can act as targets. When I was finished I got a good 40m away and set up another singular barrier. My routine for the next couple of hours became hitting the barrier in front of me with Basic Arcane Sword and shooting Absolute Zero at the targets from afar and replenishing my sword whenever it broke until I got a string of notifications.

{Basic Arcane Sword has reached 100% Proficiency}

{You have fulfilled the conditions for the hidden pieces.}

{You Have Obtained The Skill - 'Sword Ki'}

{You Have Obtained The Skill - 'Sword Mana'}

I was so surprised it was that easy, I figured that the 4th tutorial was going to end before I obtained the sword skills. It was a good surprise though. I figured that since I still have time I might as well train the sword skills as much as I can.

{Activating Skill - 'Sword Mana'}

{Activating Skill - 'Sword Ki'}

I activate the skills and get in a battle-ready position, but it didn't go according to plan, as soon as the two energies made contact.

BOOOOM

I also got blown back a few meters, I tried to get up as fast as I could. I was stopped by myself coughing up blood. This prompted me to examine myself more. I had no visible injuries other than a few major burns on my arms, hands and chest. After pushing myself up I quickly perused the shop for a good medicine to help me recover from the internal damage I likely suffered. I found a good one pretty quickly.

{You have spent 30000 points.}

{You have obtained a 'Scarlet Medicine Ball'}

I plopped it into my mouth as fast as I could.

{Your Dexterity increased by 1}

{Your Dexterity increased by 1}

{Your Dexterity increased by 1}

{Your Dexterity increased by 1}

{Your Perception increased by 1}

{Your injuries and stamina start to recover very quickly.}

I really didn't want the burns to scar, because then I really would be like every edgy protagonist ever. the medicine seemed to work wonderfully since I was feeling better and got some stats out of it.

(A/N: I found it difficult to perfectly explain it in the context of the story so that's why I'm here now before Kin Yu-Won regressed there was a Gojo that was strong, this Gojo is the same as the current one, but without the blessing, so first round Gojo did not have the Blessing given by god)
