"Hello my darling , did you have a good trip?" Juan asked the massive bird with a smile as he walked over and hugged it. "Cu!" the bird tweeted clearly happy to see the man. My team and I on the otherhand were trying to move away from the thing because it was not the sort of creature we had any chance of defending ourselves from as it was level two twelve and made the weather of the entire city...

The goddess thanked me for my actions before leaving to grieve more privately and I just watched her go.
"Wipe that look off your face lad! You've done what was good and proper and should be proud of it!" A gruff voice said as I felt a heavy hand pat me on the back.
Looking at the source of the voice I found a dark skinned dwarf man with heavy armor and a wide toothy grin.

The two women left after that as I and my army of me's got to work memorizing the information in the pile on the floor. The stuff was surprisingly in depth for a world that seemed so primitive in so many regards. In nearly all regards this world was downright feudal as far as tech went but at the same time was also so advanced scientifically that you could make legitimate clones, create poisons...

What displeases me however is your rough and unrefined methods, they lack the grace and beauty that a pokemon master should have!" Juan said passionately.

As I walked through the dungeon in search of goblins to desensitize myself to killing on I pondered the nature of monsters. Nobody actually knew all that much about them beyond how they tend to be after they spawn. Like how exactly the dungeon spawns them, why they have magic stones or why they go poof when you damage or remove said magic stone despite being very much solid flesh and blood thin...

In fact I was pretty sure the only reason she even got hit in the first place was to try and catch me. Otherwise there was no reason why she would attack a tree like that since it served no real purpose.

The three gunmen who thought they were hidden nearby caught the old woman's distress and fired their guns but to their astonishment the bullets struck a thin layer of energy and shattered. I rolled my shoulders to remove the stiffness in them "They are quite well trained aiming for the center mass like that.

I stopped by the Blue pharmacy on the way back to the church and dropped off the empty vials while grabbing some more potions for the next day including a few extras for when I was practicing my technique making bone figurines.

Making my way to the gym Hades was having a field day fucking with all the psychics who sent probes my way for whatever reason. As it's species was both ghost and dark type Hades was immune to that sort of energy and as a result would actively find the probes and send a backlash through them. It was malicious behavior but totally harmless beyond causing the psychic with the probe some mild dist...

When I retrieved the stone the variant burst into a much bigger than normal cloud of smoke that had blue embers in it rather than the red of the normal goblins. The stone was also three times bigger and clearly of a higher quality. The smoke got sucked into my tattoos again but this time I actually felt a difference. It was hard to describe but it felt almost like a drop of liquid had appeared ...

When the time finally arrived I headed for the harbor and found a ship heading to Mossdeep to hitch a ride on. It was a small thing with not more than ten people aboard with at least five being trainers to ward off any open water threats.

Unlike what usually happened I was not assigned to a squad within three days of graduating yet everyone else that graduated was. It was strange and confusing but when I tried to get an answer about the matter nobody could or would tell me about it.

In the list of handlers the league got as a sacrifice by the rest of the goods ring I had noticed the lack of a certain elderly handler in Mossdeep city being on it and smiled.

Ironically such people who were perfect for that sort o...

Not to say me and Naruto wouldn't be a formidable combo due to how familiar we are as best friends. But I alone make any squad I am on horribly lopsided as I vastly exceeded any normal graduate in terms of power. Add someone like Naruto to the mix and the squad not only wouldn't work but would likely ruin the last teammate who likely wouldn't be able to keep up. In the current case however I wo...

Contrary to what one might think capturing a pokemon wasn't automatic grounds for it to obey you in battle or in general. All the artificial bond that the ball created should you imprint it does was make the pokemon consider joining you. This wasn't a matter of instant enslavement which a surprisingly high amount of people misunderstand. If a pokemon didn't want to belong to a specific trainer ...

A meal made from dungeon ingredients however could go as high as half a million Valis. Needless to say I was quite justified in my shock at the amount of money we got all of a sudden.

It was fairly clear to me that the order of operation that we were taught information was all wrong. The original way was likely chakra control, nature transformation and THEN jutsu and handsigns. By learning jutsu before nature transformation the order was all wrong and the quality of shinobi likely suffered as a result. Don't get me wrong I totally get why the order is all wrong as with wars ...

The Hokage did explain that the reason he didn't get it on the first time wasn't that it was too hard to do compared to chakra flow but rather that it was counter productive if the one using it wasn't good at timing their attacks perfectly. Specifically the technique involved purposefully delaying ones chakra before bursting it out in a heavy but controlled manner to attack. Most jutsu instead ...
