"Whew..."
The faintly cool autumn wind drifted gently in through the window, lightly lifting the scroll on the table.
"Tap!"
Then, a soft sound rang out in the bright room bathed in sunlight.
Was it morning already?
As that sound echoed, Chiba slowly opened his eyes. Still hazy with sleep, he looked at the bright room, and the thought surfaced in his mind.
Yesterday...
Had he gone to bed too late again?
He still felt like he had not slept enough.
Slowly sitting up, Chiba yawned and looked toward the clock on the opposite wall.
Hm? At that glance, Chiba's expression changed slightly.
Ten o'clock? The clock on the opposite wall was clearly pointing to ten. For once, Chiba had slept past his usual waking hours of seven to nine and had not risen until ten.
It seemed he had been rather tired yesterday.
Looking at the clock, Chiba slowly got out of bed. Rubbing his eyes with one hand, he picked up the scroll that had fallen to the floor with the other.
Hm...
It seemed these two Sealing Jutsu Formulas had truly succeeded.
As he picked it up, Chiba saw the two Sealing Jutsu Formulas connected at their edges on the scroll, and a faint smile rose at the corners of his mouth.
Though he had gone to bed late last night, the results had been obvious. After a whole night of researching and developing Sealing Jutsu Formulas, he had successfully developed two out of the six, leaving four remaining.
He simply had not begun testing the effects of those Sealing Jutsu Formulas yet.
Chiba planned to begin testing only after all the Sealing Jutsu Formulas had been developed. Testing was a massive undertaking. If he started testing every time he developed one, there would be no time
