Dante returned to his apartment and stored all the clothes he got from Sara.
By the time he finished it was too late outside to do anything else so he decided to stay in and train his chakra control, clone jutsu and transformation jutsu.
After a while he stopped, he managed to increase chakra control to level 2, transformation jutsu to level 3 and clone jutsu to level 2.
He then checked to see if anything changed.
To his surprise next to transformation jutsu it said lvl 3 Max.
Does this mean all jutsu max out at level 3?
Or maybe because it's a beginner jutsu?
I'll need to do some more tests when I get more jutsu.
Dante then got ready to go to sleep, he took a shower and brushed his teeth.
In the morning as he headed out he thought to himself.
I need to find keys for the dungeon, maybe it could drop something I can sell, or make money off of.
For that I need quests.
But how do I get quests?
Should I ask my classmates if they need me to do something for them? Will that trigger a quest?
It's worth a try, I'll ask the class mates I'm most familiar with.
As Dante got close to the academy, he noticed Taka Inuzuka and his dog, walking towards him.
Hey, freak.
I hear you've been more social and you're actually trying now.
You should give up, it's too late for you to pass the exams.
Give up? Why would I do that?
I just told you, you won't pass with your level of skill.
Even if you did you would only be getting in the way of you squad.
Better for you to just give up on trying to be a ninja. No need for you to get others killed.
I won't be giving up, I'll be the strongest to ever be a ninja.
Taka was visibly angered at that point. How dare a weakling not listen to him.
Fine, if you won't give up I'll make you.
Meet me at the academy training grounds after the teacher's speech.
Once he was done speaking he started at Dante waiting for an answer, but Dante was distracted by something else.
He an his dog Dorgo then walked away.
Dante was staring at his quest screen.
A notification popped up.
"New Quest"
Taka Inuzuka thinks you should give up on being a ninja and has challenged you to a fight.
Rewards: 3 free stat points and a random dungeon key.
Accept? Yes/No
Dante chose to accept.
Why did I get a quest for this fight, but not for my fight yesterday?
Dante wondered.
Well whatever, I'll need to trigger more quests to find out how it works.
Could all just be random.
Dante then continued walking to the academy.
When he got there he saw Sora and Take in the classroom.
Yo, what's up?
Take gave him a glance, then he closed his eyes.
Hey, Dante looks like the clothes my mom bought you fit you.
Yea, tell her I said thank you, and I'll definitely pay her back.
So, do you guys have anything you need help with?
Or any work you dnt want to do?
Maybe chores or errands?
Is this about money again?
Take's eyes shot open and promptly said
Yeah, I do have something you can do.
Today, come to my house at the Nara clan compound.
There are a bunch of leaves that need to be picked up.
Ok, I'll meet you there.
Yes, Sora I'm in need of money urgently.
I would do almost anything at this point.
Haro and Agui then walked into the classroom.
As soon as take saw them he said Dante is offering to do chores, you guys should have him do them so you can train for longer.
Is this true? Said Haro.
Yes whatever you need done just let me know.
Give me a time and a place and I'll be there.
As for compensation, we can talk about it whenever I see the job.
Ok, how about you come to my house in the Akimichi compound later today.
Then Agui said you can come to my house as well, I have some things for you to do.
All right, sounds good to me said Dante.
Just then someone said do I hear someone is doing chores?
Dante turned to the voice and saw it was the senju boy.
Setto Senju.
Yes, chores, errands whatever you need.
I see... Tomorrow come to the Senju compound.
Dante nodded and Setto walked away.
After that the teacher walked in.
Alright everyone, to your seats.
Same thing today, you will be gennin soon, so if you already mastered the academy jutsu's, work on something else.
One you are out of the academy things won't be so layed back and easy.
You will have to go on missions, some of which will be dangerous.
Again if you need anything, help with something or advice, don't hesitate to ask me.
Alright class dismissed.
After the class was dismissed all the kids went to train, or whatever they do.
Dante stayed back.
Teacher Lanko, I have a question.
Teacher Lanko looked up and was surprised to see Dante, the quiet kid asking something of him.
For as long as he's been teaching he has never had a student like Dante.
An under achiever, kept to himself through out all of his years at the academy.
Lanko blamed himself for Dantes failures.
As a teacher, he felt as though it was his responsibility to guide Dante while he was at the academy.
So when Dante came to ask him a question he was surprised, but he also thought to himself I have to guide him to a proper path.
Even if it's too late, I have to at least do one thing for him.
Yes, Dante what's your question?
Does the academy provide weapons?
No, not to children. But on the last month you can request a weapon for your graduation.
If you manage to pass the academy will get you your first weapon.
Well, teacher I need it now.
Otherwise how will I know how to use it after graduation.
Usually your parents should get you that sort of thing.
Just as the words left his mouth, Teacher Lanko quickly apologized.
Sorry Dante.
Teacher Lanko saw Dante sadden a bit.
You know what, tell me what sort of weapon you want and I'll get it for you.
Dante hearing what his teacher said perked up instantly.
I'll take a double edged sword.
Double edged, I'll see what I can do.
Is there any other questions?
Yes teacher, can you teach me the body flicker technique?
That's a D-Rank jutsu. Have you mastered the 3 academy jutsu's yet?
Yes, teacher. I've already mastered those.
Alright, I can teach you it but whether you learn it or not is up to you.
Meet me at the academy training grounds at lunch time. It's the only time I have free.
Ok teacher no problem, thanks a lot.
Dante then walked out of the classroom.
As he walked out he thought to himself haha sucker, a little bit of sadness from a failure student at the mentio of his dead parents and I got good stuff out of that act.
Still though not my style.
Whatever I'll have to pay him back as well, damn I owe a lot of people already and it's only been 2 and a half days.
Can't be helped, beginnings are always the toughest to get over in games.
Dante made his way to the academy training grounds.
There he saw Taka and Dorgo standing with the middle of a field.
As he walked closer Taka started speaking.
You actually showed up, I thought for sure you would hide.
Well whatever I'll just have to show you what it takes to be a ninja.
Dorgo don't get involved, I won't need any help for a weakling like this.
Bark, woof.
Dorgo ran off to the side and sat down.
As soon as Dorgo ran off Dante promptly closed the distance and attacked Taka.
Taka was a bit surprised by Dantes speed and was a bit late to dodge.
As Dante fist connected, he pulled back and saw Taka had blocked it last second.
Taka then went on the attack and punched out towards Dantes left cheek.
Dante saw it coming and ducked it going for another punch to takas face.
Taka then spun quickly and kicked Dante on his right side.
Dante wasn't fast enough to dodge it and the kick landed.
Staggering Dante, Taka then went for a low kick, aiming to knock taka down.
Dante then used substitution jutsu and escaped to the air.
Taka surprised by the jutsu back stepped to make distance.
As soon as he took his first step back Dante appeared rushing towards him from the air. He wasn't too high, but high enough to axe kick.
That's what he was going for, Dante doubted Taka could tank the kick like Haro.
Just as Dantes kick was about to land Taka managed to raise his right forearm up and block it partially.
Dante noticed Taka was indeed hurt by the kick and as soon as he touched ground he rushed Taka.
Dante first threw a right punch followed by a left punch.
Taka saw it coming and dodged the right punch and blocked the left punch.
Then he threw a counter punch.
Dante was waiting for this opportunity, he allowed the punch to hit and grabbed Taka.
Taka was surprised when he was grabbed. He tried to squirm out of Dantes hold but Dante was a lot stronger than he looked.
Then Boom... Dante slammed Taka onto the ground.
Taka hit the ground and was almost knocked out.
He managed to stay conscious, as Dante was going to punch Taka while he was on the ground he heard a loud bark.
He quickly turned around and saw Dorgo mid air, mouth open about to bite his arm.
Dante didn't have much time to respond, he quickly jumped off Taka avoiding the dogs bite.
Dorgo then stood posture low, fangs bearing and growling, in front of Taka.
As Dante was about to make a move he hear a notification, he quickly looked to see what it was.
Since Taka was still on the floor he had the time to do so.
It was the quest, it was completed.
Dante then started walking away, as he walked away he spoke. Let me know when you wanna do this again.
As taka got up he gritted his teeth, anger visible on his face.
Originally Dante wasn't going to say anything, but then he thought.
Maybe I can get another quest if I provoke him a little.
Dante went back inside to his class and sat at his seat.
Megumi Hyuga was there reading text books and so was Sora and the senju girl.
As he sat down, Sora said you look rough.
Did someone beat you up?
Nah, not really. Actually I won...
Hahaha, if that's what you look like when you win, I wonder how you would look when you lose...
The senju girl then asked since when do you two speak?
Sora stared at Dante and said since this week.
Yeah, what she said.
Dante then looked at the senju girl, she had light brown hair and brown eyes. She was 5ft 2inches and she looked really fit.
Like if she was an athlete from his old world.
She then spoke my name is Sona Senju.
Nice to finally meet you.
My name is Dante, no surname.
Nice to meet you.
I know who you are, everyone in the academy does. You aren't exactly normal looking.
Yeah, I supposed when you're as good looking as I am everyone takes notice.
When Dante said that Sora and Sona bursted out laughing. He also heard the Megumi laugh a little.
So Dante what brings you into class asked Sona.
I need a break, I just got done with an intense spar.
Oh, really with who?
With Taka, he nearly had me, but I managed to come out on top this time.
You fought Taka? And you won?
Both Sora and Sona were surprised to hear that. After all taka was pretty good at taijutsu.
Yes, I did cheat a little though, I used substitution jutsu to throw him off and took advantage while he was surprised.
I managed to grab him and put him on the floor, once I did his dog attacked me. So I left it at that.
Oh, wow you must have really got him good, for Dorgo to attack you.
Well, we gotta get back to studying so we'll leave you alone said Sora.
She then dragged Sona back to the seats next to Megumi.
As they left Dante closed his eyes and opened his system.
He had completed the quest and allocated his stats, he put 1 in strength and 2 in agility bringing strength to 6 and agility to 5. He wants to invest points into his physical stats first, that way he will be a bit harder to kill.
Strength increases his physical damage and agility his speed.
Spirit increases his chakra and constitution increases his health.
Intelligence increases his learning rate, it doesn't make him smarter though.
As he learns more skills he will have to start dumping all his extra points into spirit.
Otherwise he won't have the chakra capacity to train all his skills and jutsu.
He then looked at the key he obtained, the quest said random dungeon key but it's a zombie apocalypse key.
Is it because It's the only dungeon unlocked?
Dante then took a nap, he needed to be in the classroom to learn the body flicker technique for teacher Lanko anyway.
Time passed by and the bell rang, waking up Dante.
Lunch time already.
Just as he woke up teacher Lanko stepped in.
Oh, Dante you're already here, let's get started.
The body flicker technique is a jutsu high speed movement jutsu.
The higher the distance you travel the more chakra it costs.
In order to perform it you have to infuse your body with chakra.
I'll demonstrate for you a couple times.
"New Quest"
Teacher Lanko wants to teach you how to use the body flicker technique. Learn the jutsu without the systems help.
Reward: 2 free stat points
Accept: Yes/No
Dante quickly glanced at the new quest and accepted quickly.
So to perform the body flicker, you need to use the tiger hand symbol and spread your chakra internally.
That will allow you to move at high speeds.
Teacher Lanko then proceeded to demonstrate a couple times.
Now you try it Dante.
Dante, for the first time used a hand seal.
As he used the Tiger hand seal he began spreading his chakra internally.
He had some idea of what he was doing, since he's been practicing the leaf concentration exercise.
He failed his first attempt, but kept trying.
After 30 minutes of trying he finally got it.
Teacher Lanko was impressed.
His worst student managed to learn a D-Rank jutsu in 30 minutes.
"Quest complete"
New jutsu: Body Flicker
Lv0 exp 1/100
Chakra cost: ---
Cooldown: 1 second
As Dante was looking at the jutsu in his status page.
Teacher Lanko spoke to him.
Here Dante you can have this.
He gave Dante a lunch box.
Dante looked at it and didn't refuse it.
Thanks teacher Lanko.
Once he finished eating, he headed outside, looking for Haro and the boys.
