With 2200 Rukh in his inventory and a free draw available, Shin felt a surge of excitement.
"I'll use the free draw," he thought, activating the system.
The screen glimmered before announcing his reward:
Ja'far's Bararaq Sei (Twin Snakes Rope Darts)
A household vessel technique that manifests as twin rope darts imbued with white lightning, shaped into serpents to ensnare and bite opponents.Shin's eyes lit up as he envisioned its applications. "This suits my fighting style perfectly," he muttered. The precision and versatility of the snakes combined with his portals would amplify his combat potential exponentially.
The day passed as Shin continued training with his team, refining their coordination. By mid-afternoon, he decided to head home and test his newfound ability.
As Shin entered his house, he saw his twin siblings, Mitsuki and Miyuki, assisting their mother, Miho, in preparing dinner.
Mitsuki noticed Shin first, his shy demeanor evident as he softly called out, "Big Brother..." hoping for praise.
Miyuki, ever the mischievous one, placed her hands on her hips and gave a smug smile, clearly expecting approval.
Shin grinned, patting Mitsuki's head and lifting him up as he walked inside. "Good job, Mitsuki," he praised, causing the younger boy to beam with joy. Shin then glanced at Miyuki, giving her a thumbs-up. "You too, Miyuki. Keep it up."
Miho smiled warmly, watching the exchange. When Shin offered to help, she gently refused. "Go wash up and change. Dinner's almost ready."
After dinner, Mitsuki's curious eyes locked onto his older brother. "Big Brother… will you play with us?"
Shin chuckled and nodded. "I'll show you something cool instead."
At that moment, Kenshin returned home, intrigued by the conversation. Soon, the entire family made their way to the Hattori clan's training grounds. Miho carried Mitsuki while Kenshin held Miyuki, all watching Shin as he prepared to demonstrate.
Shin stood at the center of the training ground. Scattered across the field, 100 meters away, were several wooden dummies used for practice.
Taking a deep breath, Shin activated his portals. A series of glowing circles materialized in mid-air, surrounding the field.
With a confident voice, he chanted, "Bararaq Sei!"
Twin rope darts materialized in Shin's hands, crackling with white lightning. The ropes shifted like serpents, coiling and dancing as Shin directed them through the portals. The serpents weaved effortlessly, moving unpredictably before striking the dummies with precision. Each strike caused small explosions, leaving scorch marks and splinters in their wake.
Mitsuki's eyes widened in awe. "Wow! Big Brother, you're amazing!"
Miyuki, equally impressed but trying to maintain her smug demeanor, crossed her arms. "I could do that someday too!"
Kenshin watched silently, his expression a mix of pride and amazement. This ability… it's extraordinary. It's more than just a weapon; it's an art.
Miho hugged Mitsuki closer, her eyes gleaming with pride as she whispered, "Our Shin is truly special."
Shin, wiping the sweat from his brow, turned to his family. "This is just the beginning. I'll keep getting stronger—for all of us."
Kenshin stepped forward, placing a hand on Shin's shoulder. "You're already making us proud, Shin. But remember, strength is only as good as the purpose behind it. Protecting your loved ones… that's what matters most."
Shin nodded solemnly, his resolve growing stronger.
