The next few days passed quietly, but Vash's routine had become almost mechanical. Wake up, complete his rehabilitation, study, help at Grandpa's Noodles, and finish his daily tasks before going to sleep. There was no room for wasting time anymore. The assessment was getting closer, and every hour mattered.
The seven days of concentrated study had made a noticeable difference. Vash was no longer staring at unfamiliar chapters without knowing where to begin. He had started recognizing patterns between different topics, and concepts that once seemed completely unrelated were beginning to connect in his mind. His learning efficiency wasn't turning him into a genius, but it was making the process of learning smoother.
One evening, Vash closed his mathematics book and rubbed his tired eyes. He had spent most of the day studying, with only short breaks between subjects. He reached for his English book, but before opening it, he decided to check his progress.
The familiar transparent interface appeared in front of him.
[ACADEMIC PROGRESS]
Class 10 Assessment Preparation
Overall Progress: 52%
Previous Two Years' Material Covered:
Mathematics: 55%
English: 50%
Science: 48%
Social Studies: 55%
Overall Material Covered: 52%
Remaining: 48%
Assessment: 4 Days Remaining
Vash stared at the numbers.
"Fifty-two percent..."
He had covered more than half of the material.
A week earlier, the thought of studying two entire years of schoolwork had seemed almost ridiculous. Now more than half of it was behind him.
But forty-eight percent still remained.
Vash closed the interface.
"Still not enough."
He picked up his book again.
The next four days would be important.
His days continued in the same way. He studied during the morning, helped at the restaurant whenever his grandparents allowed him to, and continued his rehabilitation. At night, he often remained awake longer than everyone else, studying beneath the small lamp beside his bed.
His body became tired.
His eyes became heavy.
But his understanding continued to improve.
The system recorded each change.
[LEARNING EFFICIENCY]
Current Bonus: +5%
Effect: Improved understanding of related concepts.
Note:
The host must continue studying and practicing to retain knowledge.
Vash smiled faintly.
"Five percent isn't much."
He looked at the pile of books beside him.
"But it's enough to help."
He continued studying.
The next morning, his rehabilitation session went slightly better than the previous one. His legs were becoming stronger, and his balance had improved enough that he could move around the house with greater confidence.
After finishing his exercises, Vash opened the system again.
[RECOVERY DATA]
Rehabilitation Progress: 2.3 → 2.7 / 10
Walking Stability: 2.1 → 2.5 / 10
Balance: 2.2 → 2.6 / 10
Vash looked at the numbers for a moment.
He remembered how difficult even a few steps had been when he first returned home.
Now he could walk without constantly thinking about every movement.
"Still a long way to go."
But this time, he smiled.
He knew he was getting there.
The days continued to pass.
Vash completed his daily missions without missing a single one. Every completed task gave him another small reward, and the number he had once considered distant was slowly getting closer.
Then, one evening, after another long day of studying and rehabilitation, Vash finished his final task.
The system appeared.

System Points: 100 / 100
Vash froze.
He stared at the final line.
For several seconds, he didn't say anything.
Then his eyes widened.
"One hundred."
The number he had been watching for weeks had finally appeared.
He had reached the maximum.
Vash slowly leaned back in his chair.
The system points had once seemed impossibly far away.
Now they were full.
100 / 100.
He looked at the number again, almost as if he expected it to disappear.
"System."
[Yes.]
"I reached one hundred."
[Confirmed.]
Vash smiled.
He didn't immediately ask what he could do with them.
He simply stared at the interface.
There was something strangely satisfying about seeing the number complete.
But then his eyes moved toward the calendar beside his desk.
Only one day remained before the assessment.
Vash's smile faded slightly.
The hundred points were important.
But so was the exam.
He looked at the textbooks covering his desk.
Then he looked back at the system.
For the first time, he had a full hundred points available.
And tomorrow would be his final day of preparation.
He ask the system , what can I do with these Syster points
For the first time, he had a full hundred points available.
And tomorrow would be his final day of preparation.
Vash looked at the interface again. After hesitating for a moment, he finally asked, "System, what can I do with these System Points?"
