'Jesus and Buddha, I don't know if you're still watching me but bless me in these upcoming rewards! Please, give me the Space Pouch!'
Although he was a Heavenly Demon Practitioner and was using heaven-defying means, Yoichi couldn't help but request another blessing.
Using all Silver Tickets was rash, however, it was the only way to achieve his goal. Furthermore, based on his insight, Silver Roulette only gave resources that were the main priority for his overall growth and progress.
Both Gold and Prismatic could actually give him techniques and the late-game resources but he doesn't need them for now. As such, suitability and usage were at the top of his crucial goals.

[Congratulations on winning (Kunai and Shuriken)!]
[Congratulations on winning (Blood Ganoderma Ointment)!]
[Congratulations on winning (Mortal Ores)!]
[Congratulations on winning (10 Bars of Gold)!]
[Congratulations on winning (10 Million Ryō)!]
[Congratulations on winning (Introduction to Weapon Forging)!]
[Congratulations on winning (Space Pouch)!]
Seeing his desired item chosen, Yoichi was overjoyed and ignored the last 4 items. Soon after, he suddenly went back into reality and saw an ordinary-looking pouch on the ground.
The pungent smell of the comfort room didn't faze him as the otherworldly items were on the ground, littered around like a bunch of scraps.
[Space Pouch] (Silver)
—Imbued with Dust-Avoidance and Space Stabilization Inscription, the pouch boasts a whopping 10 cubic meters of space. Inorganic materials such as herbs, dead carcasses, and items can be stored inside!
After taking the Space Pouch, Yoichi tested the mystical pouch with scrutiny. Each Martial Arts Manhwa had the same thing but the usage was distinct and filled with loopholes he ought to understand.
"Such a shame, this pouch has no blood verification and can be easily opened by loosening the string. However, as I turned it upside down like clothes, the magical space wouldn't work! This might be able to hide my items and avoid further inspection!"
Looking at the two pouches in his hand, Yoichi began looting his items with a satisfied expression on his face. After that, he looked at the last 4 prizes he had chosen to ignore earlier.
Yoichi got a 30-day supply of food, a map of an unidentified Chakra Metal Deposit, a bottle of Corpse Dissolving Liquid, and another bottle of 30 Qi-Blood Pills.
"All in all, the rewards were fantastic! The ointment was usable for the first stage of Martial Arts, Skin Refining... Others such as gold bars and Ryō were not bad! Should I also pull for Prismatic?"
[Tickets: 3 Prismatic, 2 Gold, 0 Silver]
Looking at his tickets, Yoichi ultimately decided to rip only one prismatic ticket with his current luck.
He knew it would be worth investing in the passive earlier on and knowing the requirements for a Prismatic Ticket, it would be a waste not to use such a wonderful ticket with its broken abilities.

[Congratulations on winning (Second Heart)!]
"Urrrggghhh!!!"
In an instant, a searing pain came through his body as heavy gasps of air rang inside the room. Inside his chest, a block of flesh wriggled like a tumor and was slowly transforming into a core-like shape. Soon, Yoichi's brain transmitted an enormous wave of hunger while writhing in soul-wrenching misery, pushing him to eat for the metamorphosis of the tumor-like organ.
Therefore, Yoichi munched his prized food continuously as the incinerator stomach sent all nutrients into the core, further solidifying the shape into a heart with large roots connected to his body.
*Thud*
Slowly and surely, the first heartbeat resonated within while the vitality and strength began to elevate to a higher degree than his former self.
Pumping his body with nourishment and beating like his right heart, the second heart appeared.
"Fucking shit, I thought I was going to die! Looks like I need to prepare such as abundant foods whenever I pull for an overpowered passive in the future."
Clutching his chest as two hearts beat with rhythm, Yoichi sighed in relief. With a newfound strength, his agility, endurance, and perception were greatly increased while the Qi-Blood in his veins felt much thicker than usual.
[Second Heart] (Prismatic)
—Another Heart! Qi-Blood and overall attributes will be improved by 50%.
*Scwop!*
*Heup!*
"This is certainly an upgrade! But I need to go now, I left for far too long and somebody might notice me." After a strong demonstration, Yoichi carefully checked if there were any items left and went towards the sleeping quarters with an ordinary pouch in his waist.
Subsequently, Yoichi lay down in his bed as his friends cuddled him once again. Both Sabito and Hikari nuzzled their way in while Genji was sharing with Sabito in Yoichi's warmth. Soon, the thoughts of the earlier pulls juggled in his mind.
Sure, he ate 2 weeks' worth of food but the value of a second heart was beneficial for him in the long run. As for the plans for hiding his secret, Yoichi merely shook them off as the drowsiness washed over his body, instantly knocking him into a deep sleep.
In just 2 days, he experienced a roller coaster of events. However, Yoichi knew that things were far from over and still getting started.

Next morning.
After four sets of stances, Yoichi and the rest fell in line for another routine of examination. Although his face was calm, a mix of nervousness and thrill filled his mind. As the next kid was over, Yoichi stepped forward without a hint of panic.
"Hoy brat, what is this?" one of the shinobi noticed an obvious pouch, hanging on Yoichi's waist like a fruit.
"Oh, it's a pouch I requested from Isamu-sama. Regardless, please do your work and inspect the pouch, sir." Giving the pouch with a smile, Yoichi still felt uneasy.
"Ah, you are that Yoichi kid! There aren't many thoughtful brats around here like you." With a nonchalant reply, the shinobi threw out the contents of the pouch.
A bunch of little pebbles and uneven rocks fell to the ground. The size of the pouch was merely an adult fist-sized so nothing escaped from his grasp.
"Here, take it. Remember kid, some favors should be paid so work diligently." Afterwards, the shinobi gave the pouch back to Yoichi's hand.
"I understand, sir." While looting the stones back, he politely responded.
"Good to know that. Next!"
When he went inside the cafeteria, Yoichi heaved a sigh of relief. His magical storage now has an excuse for very good usage.

I don't have a lot to talk about the story. Still, I overly ramped up the MC's power in a short span of 2 days. I will not nerf him but speed up the days of unpromising times.
For T1 VS TES, it will be another banger! Pull me another Silver Scrapes!
Thank you for reading, commenting, and collecting the novel. See ya! XDD!
