The Might Of A True Uchiha - Chapter 99
Frey wakes up but decides not to open his eyes. He matches the pace of his breathing with his normal, sleeping breath, and keeps his body the same, not moving it at all.
‘Judging from the lack of sunlight on my eyelids, I’m either in a confined area without any windows, or its night time. From the temperature, I can guess that this isn’t a locked room, so it’s midnight right now. I seem to be on a bed, nothing restraining me, the…’ Frey’s thoughts flashed like lightning as he deduced his surroundings. Finally, he found a reasonable solution.
He had deduced the actual events that happened. Well, minus the Recovery Booster. He guessed it was some kind of Nen healing ability.
‘Unless someone has been holding their breath for the past 10 minutes, there should be no one here.’ Thought Frey once again as he opened his eyes ever so slightly. To his side was an old lady, who had noticed his slightly opened eye.
[Looks like you have woken up. Tell me, what is your name?] questioned the old lady. From the voice, we readers could tell that it was the Village Chief.
[…] Frey didn’t answer her, and instead, carefully inspected his surroundings.
[You are still keeping up with the act? There is no need to worry, we are your allies.] said the village chief. Frey continued to not respond and instead looked at the old lady. She had medieval clothing, with a wooden cane.
[…] Frey continued to not answer her. Multiple streaks of black lines could be seen on the Village Chiefs’ head.
[Oi, stupid brat! Get the help up!] she said while slamming her cane on Frey’s head.
Expecting it to break, Frey continued to stay motionless, until the moment of impact. instead of the cane breaking, it had instead caused a big sound to appear. A big red spot lied roughly on Frey’s head. He continued his act.
[*sigh, I don’t have any time for your crap. Just get up.] she said while falling back on her chair. After another 5 minutes of silence, and checking to see if anyone was hidden anywhere, he “woke up”.
[Ouch, my head!] said Frey in a childish voice, as he “woke up”.
[Hey, old hag, did you see who did this? I’ll beat them up!] said Frey to the village chief.
In response, she looked at Frey blankly, and astonished at how shameless he could be, while also twitching her eyebrows at how Frey called her an “Old Hag”.
[Shameless much? You might as well drop the act.] she said while looking at Frey with her white and black eyes.
[…] Frey dropped his cat-like smile and looked at her coldly.
[Who are you to order me?] questioned Frey
The village chief smiled at this and then opened her mouth slowly.
[Who am I? I’m your savior. I have fed you a recovery booster of the B grade, tier 3.] she said calmly.
[I see. How can I repay my debt?] questioned Frey, pretending to know what it was.
[Tell me what it is then.] he said
[My my, how active youths are nowadays. Well, this is unnecessary, I was going to tell you either way.] she said. She then began to explain what she had let Frey take.
What she had given him was a kind of potion that accelerated his healing. As for the “Tier 3” and “B Grade”, these are a kind of ranking.
There exists 3 Grades, “A”, “B” and “C”. “A” being the best, “B” being the middle, and “C” being the worst.
The tiers were spread into 5 levels, tier 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5. 1 is the best, with 2 being the second-best, and so on.
With this, there exists a myth of a fourth grade, the “S” grade.
Generally, a recovery booster of the A1 level could heal life-threatening injuries in 10 minutes, and injuries that have lasted for several years in a day.
[And that’s about it for the recovery booster. There exist other potions, such as the Nen Recovery Booster, and the Nen Cultivator Booster. Both have the exact same ranking system as the Recovery Booster. And you have to know, a recovery booster of the B3 level is already considered amazing.
The amount of A1 potions covering all kinds of potions can be counted with only 1 hand. Not even 5 A1 potions have ever existed, so having a B3 is already considered precious.] she said, but then suddenly stopped, as a blue color came from her white eye.
[And you should know that it isn’t easy to threaten someone like me, especially when you are giving me this much time.] she said as ice surrounded Frey’s whole right arm.
Even though Frey hasn’t even activated his Nen, he could still feel Nen particles in the air, but cant absorbs them. However, even though he could sense this, he couldn’t sense the Village Chief using the surrounding Nen, which his grandpa, Zeno, and every other Nen user does. That means…
‘There is more to Nen than just controlling it from the surroundings. Since Nen is actually just the art of controlling the surrounding energy, which I deduced from the several encounters I have had with Nen users, and that the particles around this old hag didn’t move, this means that either she has found a way to actually use Nen internally, like Ki from Dragon Ball, or she is using a different energy altogether… Either way, I need to learn the method for either controlling this new energy or using Nen internally.’ Quickly analyzed Frey, as he tried to quickly shatter the ice.
His arm itself was as strong as diamonds, yet he still couldn’t even cause a single crack in the ice.
[Looks like you have let your guard down, little Zoldyck.] she said as she looked at Frey with a look of accomplishment.
[Unfortunately, it’s you who underestimates me.] said Frey, as he swung his left leg back. He swung it back up, causing the old lady to move slightly to the left.
[Is that it? A simple kick?] she questioned
[A kick that has more tricks than your old age.] he said as outside of his leg came a small shine. Frey didn’t simply have shorts and a shirt, but his entire body was surrounded in his suit but was camouflaged by projecting his skin and lightening it up. This means, he is always having a suit on, but to others, it looks like he only has a pair of shorts and a shirt.
A quick bang sounded, causing a scratch to appear on the old lady’s forehead.
[A gun? Impressive, you had hidden that relatively well, that even I couldn’t identify that. But you will need more than that to damage -] she was interrupted as a kick appeared right next to her head.
[Squad A.] said the old lady, 5 shadows appeared.
[Fetch him.]
