A hit of reality

Ryu was practicing with his skills for the next three days, he hoped to have some ability to search for his first opponent. During that time his statistics had a slight change, which surprised Ryu, as they changed despite not having risen.

STATISTICS

Name: Ryusei

Level: 1 (Exp 36%)

Force: 8 (+80)

Speed: 10

Resistance: 8

Defense: 6

...

Although I just change the resistance. Ryu is still surprised.

Ryu - (Chie, how come my resistance has gone up, if I have not raised the level?) -

Chie - (that's because, the body you have now is of this world and like any other living being in this world, with training you can increase your stats.) This gives you an advantage because you can increase your stats in two possible ways. Or train like the people of this world or level up) -

Ryu - (but you told me before that if I trained I was still increasing the experience and that way I went up in level, I thought that was along with fighting the only way to improve my stats) -

Chie - (That's what I told you, but as I also told you, you can consider me as an artificial intelligence, that's why I only have information that has been previously given to me.) After that I have to accumulate more knowledge and save them in my database. At the moment most of my knowledge comes from the functioning of the system, from your memories of the other world and from this one, which to be honest were not many since you focused so much on knowing how to use magic that you never paid attention to your training physical)-

Ryu - (oh, so the more knowledge you gain, the stronger your strength will be?) -

Chie - (you might consider that yes) -

Ryu - (... but that does not make you different that a person is not like that) -

Chie - (... as I said before I am like an artificial intelligence, I simply gather information and I learn it to be able to give answers depending on what happens ...) -

Ryu - (well, I think it's enough to talk about this, I think I'm ready to look for an opponent with whom to test my skills) -

Chie - (I recommend Ryu, re-assess the situation, before the new changes that the system has had when combined with a body of this world.I recommend another action plan and wait a few days to enter real combat) -

Ryu - (but according to what you said earlier the more you learn the better not, what a better method to learn from real combat!) -

Chie - (...) -

Ryu after not hearing a response from Chie, I take it as a confirmation to his plans. After eating something he left the cave next to his food bag. In addition to looking for an opponent, he would also collect forest fruits to increase his food reserves.

He was looking for something to fight against all morning. I had already collected enough food. When he was about to stop and eat a little when he was at lunchtime. He approached a large rock, sat down and when he was ready to eat, he felt a noise on the other side. After putting the food back in the bag and leaving it in a safe place, Ryu climbed the rock with care. He raised his head over the rock and could see it.

A creature about two meters tall, green and pink. In his head he had a flower, and his body resembled that of an ape.

Ryu - (oh! It's a vulcan, well more accurately it's a forest vulcan, but I'm wrong they're also called gorian.) It's lucky, this vulcan is weaker than the mountain ones, I think it's a good opponent to test my The only thing I have to be careful about is its "take over" magic, although I think it's a young vulcan because of the size, I hope it does not have much experience in combat) -

Ryu started to fight. His plan was to strike the first blow from a distance, he did not think he could get close enough to hit his body directly, without first being detected by the vulcan.

He positioned himself in a place to hit him in the back. When he was willing to strike. The vulcan stopped doing what he was doing and began sniffing the air.

Ryu - (curse !!!) -

Ryu could tell he was about to be discovered, immediately did not think about it anymore, concentrated and gave a blow to the air.

CRACK! CRACK! CRACK!

Cracks erupted in the air, then a shock wave came out in the vulcan's direction. He detected Ryu when he made his first move. His instincts told him to dodge the blow. The vulcan took a big leap, even though Ryu's hit had a higher range of action, this one only hit the vulcan's legs.

GRRROOOWWLLL !!!!

The vulcan gave a roar caused by pain in his legs, he could feel this pain to the bone. Ryu was surprised by the reflections of the vulcan then prepared to take the next blow where the vulcan would fall from his previous jump. The vulcan could guess that the boy was trying to strike again. This one took a turn in the air and fell on the branch of a tree. The sudden movement of the vulcan surprised Ryu and caused him to lower his guard. At that moment the vulcan leapt from the tree towards Ryu. This by his side did not have enough time to react and received the hard blow of the vulcan in the abdomen.

Ryu -AHHHH !!!! -

Ryu shot back and rolled on the ground a few times. He held his stomach because of the great pain that caused the previous blow. The vulcan did not continue his attack since he was jumping and screaming as if he was making fun of the boy.

Ryu -cog cog, damn it !! -

Ryu tried to stand up, when the vulcan saw this he launched himself once again into the attack with his fist. But this time Ryu created a barrier that intercepted the blow.

BOOM !!

This time the vulcan was surprised, he did not know where that barrier came from. But what surprised him was that his fist felt a pain hitting him. This was one of the effects of the Bari Bari no Mi. Despite this, it could only reflect part of the force of the blow. This gave Ryu the opportunity to catch his breath and stand up. The vulcan on his part became much more enraged and his eyes changed to a red tone. You could see that he was completely enraged.

The vulcan threw himself at Ryu again. This time I jump to the side and dodge the blow that landed on the ground. Ryu knew his limits, he could not make as many attacks as he wanted and that also included the barriers. After dodging the blow, he quickly raised his arm and hit the air again. This time, the attack was more effective to be closer to the vulcan.

CRACK! CRACK! CRACK!

GRRROOOWWLLL !!!!

The vulcan on this occasion received the attack completely and backed away while trying to catch his breath after the blow received.

Ryu on the other hand did not stay still and ran off in the direction of the trees, he had the plan that the vulcan would follow him and once he had to hit the body directly.

The vulcan watched as Ryu walked away, he started to chase him. When Ryu saw that his plan worked he continued to run, but he knew he could not wait long since he would end up getting tired if he kept running.

The vulcan was chasing him, when he thought he was close enough he threw himself at Ryu to hit him, but this time aiming at the head. Ryu knew that this was his chance and turned around quickly, when the vulcan was already behind him Ryu prepared his arm back, and then his fist appeared a white wait. Just in the moment before the vulcan hit Ryu. This could throw his blow, which impact on the vulcan's abdomen.

The vulcan does not expect a counterattack the boy. By the time he knew that the blow was dangerous, it was too late. The blow hit him squarely and he threw him against a tree. The vulcan struck the tree and then began to wallow on the ground screaming.

GRRROOOWWLLL !!!!

GRRROOOWWLLL !!!!

GRRROOOWWLLL !!!!

The blow was very strong and had damaged the internal organs of the vulcan. Ryu was impressed by the resistance of the vulcan, he believed that he could kill the beast if it hit him directly. To his surprise, the vulcan stood trembling from his wounds and then looked at Ryu for a moment. He ran out into the forest. The vulcan knew that even if he won the fight he would end up very hurt and it was not worth it.

Ryu fell backwards to the ground, his breathing was accelerated.

Ryu-ah ah ah ah-

Ryu could finally rest assured after winning the fight. But right at that moment.

Ryu-! -

Ryu -AHHHHHH !!!!! -

An immense pain reached his arm, it hurt as if it were put inside the fire.

Ryu - (CURSE WHY I HURT BOTH THE ARM !!!!) -

Ryu repressed himself not to scream out loud, not sure if his battle with the vulcan had attracted some other savage beast.

The pain continued for several minutes and although it did not stop, Ryu could start to hold it. He was able to stand and little by little he headed towards his shelter, going before picking up his bag of food.

Arriving at the cave, Ryu did not have time to anything and lay down on the floor and fell asleep instantly.

...

...

...

After a few hours Ryu regained consciousness. I still had the pain in my arm, but it was not so intense anymore. Also, he did not notice before but he also had pain for the rest of his body.

Ryu - (Chie, what the hell happened?) -

Chie - (with the new data that I have available I can reach the conclusion that your body has not been able to resist the power of your abilities, especially that of the Gura Gura no Mi) -

Ryu - (what do you mean?) -

Chie - (during these days you were practicing with your skills, but unconsciously you did not use them at full capacity.) That changed in today's fight.You used your skills 100% and your body can not stand the power of these for it you got hurt when using them ) -

Ryu - (... but if I do not fight I will not be able to increase the level) -

Chie - (I think the best thing now would be that first your physique better training and in this way your body can hold the power of your skills, also remember that you can still gain experience when you train) -

Ryu - (you're right, although the process is slower, it will surely be the best way to make me stronger in a more secure way) -

Chie - (That's right, in addition, if you train you will not only be able to level up, but also your stats will increase without the level increase.This is more efficient in the long term.When you fight you gain more experience and level up more quickly obtaining the increase of the statistics too, but if you increase your level while training your body you will gain more points to your statistics besides the one obtained by the level rise) -

Ryu - (ah ... you're right, from now on I'll focus on improving my physique, that way I can use my skills more safely and in all its power) -

Ryu was a little sad because he was ignorant of the reality of the facts. He thought that simply with his abilities he could beat his opponents and level up and thus become stronger. Now the events that took place today gave Ryu a reality hit that changed his attitude. Now I knew that it was best to train constantly.

This completely changed the plans he had in mind during his training days. he knew that getting stronger would cost him more time. But he still did not give up. He knew that his efforts would be rewarded in the future as he was when he was in his old world, where he tried completely to enjoy his passion, the otaku world.
