Chapter 52

***

The first day I rested both mind and body. Rather, I was drinking and watching TV. A couple of times Arthur and Rick called me, and then he started reading all the love crap that I had from the previous owners.

In the morning I had a hangover, and then after its rapid passage, I decided to continue my experiments with chakra again according to the old scheme. And having finished 10 more units to the chakra and 2 to the control for lunch, he received the first task from the System, which concerned the chakra:

Attention!

You have received an assignment.

"Expander 2000"

Using the attached instruction from the System, you should expand your hearth as much as possible at a time. And also expand your chakra channels without injury and debuffs.

The task is considered completed only after both conditions are met:

- Expansion of the focus and chakra channels

- Lack of debuff on chakra use.

Reward:

+ 1000 experience,

+ 5 to chakra control

+ 50 to chakra

Failure / Refusal Penalty: No.

Accept the assignment?

Well no.

That is, based on the explanation, the main thing here is not to screw up and not to rush. In principle, the task will be easy. Probably. The main thing is not to rush.

I started immediately after sitting in the lotus position, and after reading the instructions I got down to business.

The process took me more than an hour and I was able to execute it the first time, without debuff. My joy knew no bounds.

After that, I immediately received a second task:

Attention!

You have received an assignment.

Spiderman

Naruto mastered tree climbing in a week. But you have no less persistence, albeit less chakra. Reach heights. Climb a hard surface before sunset and receive a reward from the System.

Reward:

+ 1000 experience,

+ 5 to chakra control

+ 50 to chakra

Failure / Refusal Penalty: If you do not complete this task before sunset, you will not receive rewards even if you are perfectly able to walk on hard surfaces.

Accept the assignment?

Yes/ No.

I read the instructions again and realized that it is completely no different from the canonical explanations of Kakashi Hatake. Therefore, I lay down on the floor with my feet against the wall and began to accumulate chakra in them. When I had only half of the chakra left. I went and ... after a meter of walking, I collapsed on the floor with small steps, filling a lump.

Looks like control is not enough or concentration was not enough.

After waiting for the chakra to accumulate a little more, I tried again. And after that I walked only a meter again.

There was a problem, but I did not understand what exactly. I even stopped training for an hour and sat down to think. I was even going to have a glass of whiskey. But raising the glass, it dawned on me that because of alcohol, the chakra does not listen well to the wearer. Although, if I have higher control, like one Legendary Loser, I can thump and fight with chakra at any moment.

I had to drink a lot of chemistry and wait a couple more hours, the sunset was approaching, there was little time left. Fortunately, the diuretic worked well and already on the fourth attempt I climbed right up to the ceiling and hung on it.

Then I received a message that I received a reward for the task and even two levels of "Chakra Manipulation".

After that I wanted to go to bed, but my plans were interrupted by the doorbell.

- Hi Isaac. - Rene Montoya smiled at me.

Quite unexpectedly, to see her at my house. She has already partially recovered, only her arm tied on a bondage hangs.

And today she looks pretty good. Yes, and cute. Jeans, a white shirt and a jacket thrown over the shoulders. And a fashionable hat, which makes it clear that she still has a short haircut. And most importantly, a seductive accentuated figure.

- Hi Sergeant. Come in, tea, coffee or something stronger?

- I would not refuse tea. she smiled.

While I was brewing tea, she sat down on the sofa and continued the conversation.

- I can say here with good news for you. Although this is relative.

- Yes? And what is it?

- You and me ... Do you mind that I switched to you?

- No I do not mind. I don't really like officialdom.

- Good, because sooner or later you and I would all have to go to it. Because you and I are now partners.

- Oh! Unexpected, but pleasant by the way. I will be glad to work with you.

- That's not all. We were both promoted to detectives. My seniority, I am already the second year as a sergeant, and the fifth in the police. And your merits. The order has not yet been signed. But the mayor as soon as he found out about your contribution to the arrest of the Joker and the extraction of valuable information that was confirmed. Just two hours ago, two gangs were already covered in full strength at the docks. There is a full package: drugs, weapons, smuggling and so on. They will not be released soon. And about the little freaks, I generally keep quiet. In general, you managed to get the Joker talking and appreciated it.

- Suddenly. But I'm even glad about it. Fast career growth is good.

- I already figured it out. You have an amazing gift to convince others that you are right. You had to go to a lawyer or go into politics.

- I'll think about your remark. OU! The tea seems to be ready already.

After pouring tea for us, we continued our leisurely conversation.

- By the way, I forgot, or rather I did not have the opportunity to thank you for my salvation.

- Well, not worth it. Moreover, I was not alone there. Rick was still there.

- It's strange. - she smiled - Ricardo said that it was you who pulled me out of there, and he just covered.

I mustn't have expected that he would help me like that.

- Well, I don't remember exactly, maybe of course it was.

+ 100 to relations with Rene Montoya.

- I see. - She smiled and buried herself in the cup.

- By the way, in which department will we work, if you know?

- I was not told, today I just drove into the station to check how things are with ours and find out the latest news. I didn't stay at home. So I found out before you. And Bullock told me this news. We were given additional time to rest. Until my hand heals. The truth is not worth counting on. In three days, this crap will be removed for me and we will start work.

- It's clear. I feel we will have fun.

- For some reason Bullock sympathized with me when he told me that I would be your partner.

- Conspiracies and falsifications.

- Okay. I will not distract you from your rest. We have to work soon, so try to enjoy the silence.

- We will wait and see if we will be allowed peace and quiet. In the meantime, I'll just keep busy with what I have the opportunity to do.

- And what then?

- Music. I love to play the guitar.

- Hmm. - she got up - I hope someday I will hear you sing.

- Come at any time and I will sing what you want.

- Haha. I'll think about it...

On this we parted.
