[Two months later, after you turned two, at your earnest request, your mother finally decided to teach you sacred arts.]
[Excited, you secretly decided to study hard.]
[As the child of a Miko, you inherently possessed extremely strong talent.]
[After starting to learn, this talent was also demonstrated.]
[You mastered the seals for ordinary monsters after just one try.]
[This talent far exceeded your mother's expectations.]
[Subsequently, she saw some possibility in you and paid even more attention to your teaching.]
[You mastered various sealing formulas one by one within just a month.]
[But your Chakra Reserve was too small, preventing you from freely using many techniques.]
[However, as your body grew, these wouldn't be a problem.]
[Then, you began learning offensive and defensive techniques.]
'This is how strong a Black level talent is.'
Takumi couldn't help but sigh.
Black level talents always exhibited very strong learning abilities in the early stages.
Growing safely, they could obtain extremely powerful strength before even reaching adulthood.
Although sometimes, the power might seem overly singular.
But when a power reaches its peak, it always becomes something magical turning the mundane into the extraordinary.
One force subdues ten techniques.
No matter how many skills you have, it's better to specialize in one.
Otherwise, learning a mishmash of things will ultimately amount to nothing.
Human energy is limited after all.
An all-around genius doesn't exist.
Takumi himself was not a genius, not even worthy of the title.
His current achievements were entirely due to the help provided by the system, allowing him to obtain these powers as if without effort.
For this, Takumi was always grateful.
But he had to keep relying on the system.
Because there were always enemies outside who could threaten his life.
And he was born on the opposite side of theirs.
Therefore, he had to work hard to improve his abilities in all aspects.
Stagnation meant he would likely be surpassed and eliminated by enemies.
Having finally come to this magical world, he wouldn't be satisfied without experiencing more of its wonders.
[When learning sealing techniques, you showed extraordinary talent.]
[You had begun to look forward to a future of becoming a top-tier powerhouse, roaming the Shinobi World.]
[But soon, reality poured a basin of merciless cold water on you.]
[When learning defensive and offensive techniques, your performance was like that of an ordinary child, with none of the extraordinary talent you had shown before.]
[You watched helplessly as the hope in your mother's eyes turned to disappointment, your heart feeling as painful as if cut by a knife.]
[It was like being told directly you weren't good enough.]
[But you secretly practiced on your own, yet you couldn't find the reason for the tremendous gap.]
[You could still easily perform Sealing Techniques; your only limitation was your Chakra Reserve.]
[But with offensive and defensive techniques, whether in learning speed or execution speed, you were like any ordinary child, with no outstanding qualities.]
"..."
Takumi was somewhat surprised.
He hadn't expected something like this to happen.
'Logically, a Black level talent shouldn't have this issue.'
'So where could the problem lie?'
'Could it be because little Takumi was a boy and not a girl, unable to inherit the Miko's full power?'
'That would be too absurd!'
Takumi thought it unlikely.
There must be some reason he didn't know.
But watching so far, he hadn't found the reason.
After all, he didn't know much about sacred arts either.
Besides also needing Chakra to drive them, he was completely ignorant of sacred arts.
Perhaps it was like Senjutsu Chakra, a way of mixing Chakra with other energies.
But compared to Senjutsu Chakra, it was more stable and targeted.
But for non-specific targets, it didn't provide particularly outstanding boosts.
[After trying for several months, you never found the root of the problem.]
[This made you disheartened.]
[What use was having powerful Sealing Techniques if you couldn't eliminate monsters? Your danger was unavoidable.]
[And you had even made bold claims in front of your mother to protect your little sister Miroku well.]
[But at this rate, who would be protecting whom was uncertain.]
[Although your mother still patiently taught you and often tried to cheer you up, you could clearly feel she was no longer as attentive as at the beginning.]
'Looks like she gave up.'
Takumi shook his head helplessly.
It was unavoidable. He could understand the mother's approach.
She had originally thought she found a way to break free from the Miko lineage's fate in little Takumi.
But in the end, it was all for nothing.
Being able to maintain her current attitude was already very good.
If it were someone with poor mental adjustment, they would probably spit blood on the spot.
[You still didn't give up, but the slow progress made you increasingly desperate.]
[And your mother's focus gradually shifted to your little sister.]
[You no longer lingered around your mother day after day.]
[Thus, a monster seized an opening, quietly approaching you, and launched a sudden ambush when you were dejected.]
[You couldn't react to the monster's ambush, but you remained unscathed.]
[Because you had set up a trigger-type sealing formula on yourself.]
[The attacking monster wasn't strong and was easily sealed.]
[After the initial scare, curiosity towards monsters arose in your heart.]
[Having been attacked by monsters and unable to leave the residence, you had never had any liking for them.]
[Through trying, you found this monster couldn't communicate; it acted solely on instinct.]
[Even while sealed, it kept trying to attack you.]
[However, looking at the monster, you felt a strange hunger arise in your body.]
'Could this be a turning point?'
Takumi's eyes lit up, and he suddenly thought of the Yin-Yang Sorcerer talent description.
'Perhaps the reason for the outstanding Sealing Techniques and ordinary other two skills was found?'
He continued watching with expectation.
[A desire surged in your heart, craving to devour this monster.]
[This startled you. You felt devouring this ferocious and terrifying monster was not a good thing.]
[But this desire grew increasingly intense. As you resisted, your reason was gradually worn away.]
[Then, you suddenly lost consciousness.]
[When you woke up again, you found yourself lying in bed, with your worried and self-blaming mother beside you.]
["I shouldn't have left you alone. I'm really not fit to be your mother." Your mother held your hand tightly, and you could feel her guilt from the trembling of her body.]
[But what surprised you even more was the change within your body.]
[Your Chakra Reserve had suddenly increased significantly, and your understanding of offensive techniques had greatly improved.]
[That hungry feeling was gone, replaced by a sense of satisfaction.]
[You finally understood why those monsters were so hostile to you.]
