"I'm back!" Kamiya Keiyun called out. Kamiya Koromo emerged wearing an apron.
"Wash your hands first. Dinner will be ready soon!"
"Okay!"
He washed his hands, then went upstairs and opened the vacant room. Sure enough, it had already been cleared out.
The room was less than twenty square meters and completely bare, with only two cabinets, two long tables, and two floor cushions left inside.
Kamiya Sanyō was sitting on one of the cushions, refining Chakra. When she heard the door open, she immediately opened her eyes.
"Well?" she said smugly. "I asked a friend for advice before setting this up. These two cabinets can hold scrolls, and the cushions are woven from Fragrant Grass. They're warm in winter, cool in summer, and breathable too. They're very popular in the village."
"Scrolls?"
"Right. I heard that ninjutsu and Forbidden Jutsu are all written on scrolls, since that makes them easier to seal and keep secret!" Kamiya Sanyō said.
Kamiya Keiyun looked at his sister in surprise. "Where did you learn all this? You know so much!"
"Of course I do. Who do you think I am?" Kamiya Sanyō proudly raised her snow-white neck, then laughed. "Actually, it's all thanks to my friend Wada Hanako. Her older brother is a Chunin, and he taught her all this!"
"Oh, I see!" Kamiya Keiyun nodded, then asked, "So what exactly is sealing? Sealing Technique?"
"I don't know that. She doesn't know much either!" Kamiya Sanyō shook her head.
"Fine, no rush. We can take it slow." Kamiya Keiyun held out his hand. "How is your Chakra Refining Technique coming along?"
"I can refine it while walking now, but it's still pretty slow," Kamiya Sanyō said.
"Then focus on becoming proficient with Chakra first. You can learn Hand Seals later." Kamiya Keiyun had once been a teaching assistant, so he naturally knew how to teach students. For someone with average talent like Kamiya Sanyō, he could not cram too much into her head at once. Otherwise, if she failed to learn it, she would lose confidence in studying.
It was better to teach one thing at a time and move on only after she had mastered it.
He sat down as well and practiced Hand Seals, but somehow, this still felt a little awkward.
"Oh, I get it. I'm missing a system!" Kamiya Keiyun remembered.
He was not talking about the Golden Finger systems commonly used by transmigrators, but a program for recording the progress of his studies, experiments, and teaching. In his previous life, he had used Microsoft's Onenote. It was extremely convenient for tracking learning progress and compiling materials.
The main reason was that he could get a cracked version of this software. Other professional software was too expensive, and his family had been poor. He could not afford them.
Put simply, it was just a notebook. If Kamiya Keiyun wanted one, he could simply find a notebook and use it as his system.
But he was a superhuman now. It was like having a hammer in his hand—if a problem could be solved through supernatural means, Kamiya Keiyun wanted to give it a try.
He closed his eyes and meditated. With the Pure Tranquil White Lotus Sutra, he easily entered a meditative state and arrived before a white lotus.
He looked up at the chaotic sky. He had no idea where the pool containing the World Seed was. Both places had been entered through meditation, yet they were not the same place once he arrived. It was quite fascinating.
"This lotus has thirty-six petals and can grow or shrink. I can use meditation to record information on it!" Kamiya Keiyun began experimenting. This was his Mental Space, and here, he was practically a god. With a single thought, a rather refined keyboard and mouse appeared in his hands.
The keyboard was an HP K10G with brown switches, and the mouse was an HP G260. Since he had used them in his dorm, both were the quiet kind.
It was not that he did not love his country. Pinduoduo had simply been running a sale at the time, and the whole set had cost only eighty-nine yuan. It had been perfect for a poor student like Keiyun, who wanted a mechanical keyboard but had empty pockets.
Those two pieces of equipment had accompanied him from his freshman year all the way through graduate school. He knew them better than anything. With just a slight attempt now, he had actually visualized them!
Then he imagined the petals as a display screen, and that succeeded on the first try as well.
Kamiya Keiyun began writing out his information.
Name: Sun Keiyun (Kamiya Keiyun) Age: 31 (5) Gender: Male
Well, this system was not for anyone else to see. There was no need to write it as clearly as a household registration form.
He only needed to record his age and learning progress. Since his age increased by one each year, it was perfect for making an annual summary.
Age: 5 Chakra Refining Technique: Proficient (63%) Hand Seals: Skilled (24%) Bright Virtue Method: Beginner (15%) Pure Tranquil White Lotus Sutra: Passive skill, no level.
He divided skill levels into seven ranks: Unlearned, Beginner, Skilled, Proficient, Mastered, Grandmaster, and Super Gene.
Unlearned meant he knew nothing about the skill at all, or knew about it but had not begun learning it.
Beginner meant he had started learning it, but was only just getting started.
Skilled meant he had mastered the skill and could apply it in daily life.
Proficient meant he had surpassed the vast majority of people at the skill. Not only could he use it himself, he could also teach it to others and make a profit from it.
Mastered meant he stood at the peak of the field, one of the few people at the mountaintop. In the modern era, people at this level would probably be Changjiang Scholars or academicians.
Grandmaster meant he had truly reached the summit. Not only would he dominate everyone in the present age, but even across the long river of history, he would still stand out as exceptional—a figure who appeared once in a thousand years.
As for Super Gene, there was even less need to explain it. One surpassed one's predecessors, innovated upon the original skill, and created an entirely new world.
However, he did not know the exact standards for each skill, nor did he know when the Chakra Refining Technique counted as Proficient or Mastered. He was merely estimating.
In his view, being able to refine Chakra while walking, as he could now, counted as Proficient. Being able to refine Chakra during strenuous exercise should count as Mastered.
As for Grandmaster level, one would be able to refine Chakra as long as one had consciousness, no matter what condition one was in or how harsh the environment was.
After recording those lines on the petal, Kamiya Keiyun was somewhat dissatisfied.
He knew far too few things. As for anything related to Gundam, he did not have a single entry.
"I wonder if the teacher will teach us anything new tomorrow?" Kamiya Keiyun lowered his head and immersed himself in cultivation.
He continued cultivating the Bright Virtue Method, further carving and refining the Chakra within his body. He had not even carved out a single human-shaped form yet.
During cultivation, he discovered that this Chakra's affinity with him was not very close. It did not feel at all like something he had cultivated himself. The internal energy described in all kinds of Wuxia novels did not seem to have this problem.
He did not know whether everyone was like this or whether it was only him. Was it because he had possessed this body, so he was not compatible with it?
Fortunately, he was making progress all the time, so he could keep at it.
At dinner, Kamiya Hiromi did not return again. By the time the three of them had finished eating and washed the dishes, he finally stumbled home drunk, muttering about the Kamiya Family's rise while shouting about the Kamiya Family's glory.
Could it be that he wants to rebuild Inari Shrine in Konoha?
