"I heard Silva threatened you?"
In the evening, after finishing a day of training, Sean dragged his exhausted body back to his room and, unsurprisingly, saw Maha.
The old man was lying in a rocking chair, peering out from behind an H-manga. "Want this old man to beat him up for you?"
Sean glanced at the H-manga... "The Secret I Have to Tell with My Sister-in-Law".
'Tsk... instead of worrying about me, you should worry about how you, this bald Old Fahai, are going to deal with the sister-in-law who's flooding the mountain.'
Too lazy to bother with Maha, Sean opened the fridge, grabbed a bottle of cola, and started chugging it.
"Sigh... hah..." As the bottle emptied, the shadow clone walked in right on cue with the "Sage's" notification.
[Congratulations, Host, for completing the daily "10,000 Practice Swings." Constitution +8]
'Six points for the main body, two points for the shadow clone. The clone's training efficiency is one-third of the main body's. Confirmed!'
"Good work," Sean snapped his fingers.
Poof! The shadow clone dissipated, turning into a stream of "qi" and returning to the main body.
The old man noticed this. As a "spoiler fanatic," how could he not recognize it—this was clearly—"Shadow Clone Jutsu!"
Combined with the "Eight Gates" Sean had used before... he immediately lost his calm. He looked at Sean suspiciously, "Brat, you haven't already mastered 'Edo Tensei,' have you?"
'10,000 feedback points isn't that easy to accumulate.'
Sean looked at Maha with a half-smile, saying nothing. He turned, leaving Maha with a view of his back.
"What's the hurry? Whether I know it or not... you'll find out when you're dead, Grandpa."
Maha: "..."
Several veins popped on his bald head. After a long pause, he forced out a cold snort. "Hmph! If you're waiting for this old man to die, you've got a long wait, brat."
"As for you... brat, you don't have much time left."
"Heh! Trying to pass Silva's test in one month? Difficult."
"Oh, is that so?" Sean turned his head to glance at Maha. "Grandpa is that certain I can't pass?"
'Oh? So I, Maha, am worthy of you, Sean, calling me Grandpa?'
The old man squinted at Sean and said sarcastically, "Lying in front of you is a future corpse. Have you ever seen a corpse speak?"
"Hmm, true." Sean deeply agreed and said to himself, "If I can't pass Father's test, at worst I'll lose my freedom to train."
"But if someone can't pass my test... they won't even have the right to die."
'Go to hell! This old man should just kill you after all!' Maha was furious.
"Brat, are you threatening me?!"
"No matter how useless your father is, he's still my, Maha's, grandson! A true 'Double Limit Break' powerhouse!"
"At your current level, you can't even touch him. Is that my fault?"
'So Tō-san really just wants an excuse to beat me up.' Sean sneered inwardly, sharply catching the term "Limit Break." He quietly asked the Sage in his mind, 'What does "Limit Break" mean?'
[Report, Host: No sample detected. Unable to answer.]
'Is that so?' Sean glanced at Maha, and an idea struck him. He sneered loudly, "Bullshit 'Double Limit Break'! Watch me crush him in minutes!"
"Heh! Such shameless boasting, brat." The rocking chair suddenly moved. Maha flashed and appeared right in front of Sean.
The speed was so fast it completely exceeded Sean's understanding of "fast"!
[Warning...]
[Detecting an unknown "Nen" mass moving at high speed.]
[Judging by the aura, it is Maha Zoldyck.]
→
[Current speed: 100m/s]
[Detection Result: "Speed Limit Break" requires the "Speed" attribute to reach 1000.]
[Inferred comparison: "Strength Limit Break" 1000, "Qi Amount Limit Break" 1000.]
[Detection complete.]
"Brat, did you see that clearly?" Maha "swooshed" to a stop, twirling one of Sean's hairs in his fingers. "This is 'Speed Limit Break.' It's far beyond what your vaunted 'Dark Step' can compare to!"
"If you think you can beat Silva with your half-assed skills... hehe."
"It's not that I, your Grandpa, am underestimating you. It's absolutely impossible!"
Having rare-ly shown off his speed in front of Sean, the old man enjoyed Sean's shocked expression.
As he said, "Speed Limit Break," as the name implied, was breaking the first limit of the human body, exceeding the dynamic limit that the eyes can capture.
And "'Dark Step' is, at best, a castrated version of 'Speed Limit Break.'"
In other words, one finds blind spots in vision, but the speed itself isn't fast. The other is pure speed, so fast that dynamic vision cannot capture it.
'But... without you, Maha, providing a sample, I might have been kept in the dark, knowing nothing.'
A "Star of David" flashed deep in his right eye. Sean grinned, showing Maha a brilliant smile. "Thank you, Grandpa."
'Thank... thank me for what?!'
"Brat, do you not understand human language?"
Maha shivered inexplicably. He felt something was wrong... as if he had fallen into the brat's trap.
He gave Sean a strange look, then flashed back to the rocking chair. He snorted coldly, "Laughing? In a month, I'll make you cry."
The old man opened "The Secret I Have to Tell with My Sister-in-Law", covering his bald head, and added, "Don't think Silva will go easy on you like Kakashi did. If he dares to do that, this old man will be the first to not forgive him."
'Oh, how terrifying.' Sean's smile faded. He dug his ear, treating the old man's words as farts.
But inwardly, he was quietly calculating.
'A "Single Limit Break" requires "Strength," "Speed," and "Qi" to reach 1000... which is also the standard condition for opening the "Eight Gates," the second gate, the "Gate of Healing."'
'So... from this, I can deduce that Emperor Kai's normal stats are already past the limit, maybe even more than once!'
'But... if it's just 1000 points, it might not be impossible to reach in a month if I grit my teeth... From this point alone—'
The "Sage," after its calculations, had already given Sean a positive answer.
[AI deduction in progress...]
[Deduction complete.]
[Report, Host: The Host has a high probability of breaking the physical limit within one month.]
[Prerequisite: The Host must obtain the "Multi Shadow Clone Jutsu" as soon as possible to increase training efficiency.]
[Note: Considering the enemy's "Double Limit Break," it is recommended that after the Host's attributes reach 1000 (Single Limit Break), the Host should advance his "Eight Gates" training and open the second gate, the "Gate of Healing."]
[Report complete.]
The notification sound faded. It was just as Sean had expected.
A faint arc curved on the boy's lips, and he quietly clenched his fists.
'"Multi Shadow Clone Jutsu," huh?'
'"Nidaime"... I told you, we'd be meeting again very soon.'
Taking off his training suit, Sean strode into the bathroom.
The old man opportunely poked his head out from behind the H-manga and gave him a deep look, that strange feeling in his heart growing stronger and stronger.
