Meeting the Red Dragon Emperor 5

"Damn, those are some powerful abilities that the Boosted Gear has and a passive boost to my HP, MP, Chakra and stats every five levels gained takes the cake. So reaching Lvl 50 unlocks the Balance Breaker and Max lvl would be 100 I think would allow me to use Juggernaut drive. What do you say Ddraig? Aren't these useful against Vali?" Issei asked with a smug smirk.

"Yes, partner. These are some powerful abilities to have. And I think you are right about Balance Breaker and Juggernaut Drive."

"We should increase my experience with it and we will have everything in our hands," Issei said excitedly. He is going to be prepared for everything to come and start his training.

Few Hours Later

"Issei, it is time for lunch." Came the call of his mother from his room. He saw it through the monitor and excited his Paradise and after lunch came back to his room and told her not to disturb him till dinner.

Paradise

Issei entered his Paradise and went through a mental checklist of his skills and decided to practise Wood-style first as it allows him to do various techniques.

"Ok Ddraig, I'm going to practice Wood-style as it gives me various techniques after that we'll work on Shapeshifting and my magic usage," Issei said to Ddraig. Ddraig agreed. As the skills are already at Max level they need less training and more experience to use them efficiently. Issei started his practice.

"Wood style: Wood Clone Jutsu," Issei called, imagining a clone of him forming from Wood. A clone popped up from his body though it is not perfect, it at least felt real to touch.

Because of a repeated act, a sub-skill is created.

Sub-skills -

- Sub-skills are skills formed from a main skill. User can refer to them as Jutsu from a Nature Release. The Sub-skill aids in using the skill proficiently.

- Any Jutsu made from Wood/Water/Earth styles would be considered sub-skills to the respective styles and appropriate chakra costs will be applied.

- Mastery of the element will also apply to the sub-skills.

- Mastering sub-skills will also help in increasing the mastery of the main skill.

A new sub-skill 'Wood Clone' is created.

Wood Clone (Active) Experience (0.0%)

A clone is created by using chakra to alter the user's cells into vegetation. The clones can be as simple in function as a wooden dummy for use in the Body Replacement Technique or completely mobile and able to perform jutsu.

They can travel far from the user and can communicate with the original. By directly touching the wood clone with their hand, the user can change the shape of the wood clone and it doesn't disappear when hit and takes the damage to a certain degree.

CP Cost: 25

'Oh yes. I can create sub-skills now? Well, they are just Wood Jutsu, so ok, I guess now to Master it.' Issei thought and practised it for another hour and his experience went to 25%. His Chakra reserves which were 500 before, and 550(now) points because of the Boost after unlocking the Boosted Gear were doing well.

Issei didn't even spend 1 extra point of his chakra as his chakra recovery rate is 6% pm or 33 points and the cost to make a Wood Clone is 25 points. So, its chakra cost is practically none.

As his experience increased, its chakra cost decreased and currently stands at 15 points peruse. He also practised the Reinforced Wood Clone technique. Which is not much different but is stronger than a normal Wood Clone. But it has double the Cost.

Due to repeated performance of certain acts, a new sub-skill has been created.

Sub-skill 'Reinforced Wood Clone' has been created.

Reinforced Wood Clone (Active) Experience (0.0%)

A reinforced wood clone is a wood clone with more chakra and it can also perform more techniques than a normal clone. It is more durable than a normal wood clone.

CP Cost: 50 points.

His mastery increased to 15% and cost decreased to 45.

'Man, that was something. To level up these sub-skills is not a small thing to scoff at. Let's see if I remember it correctly, then there are Kawarimi(Substitution) Jutsu and Leaf sticking exercise. Which are like basic Shinobi techniques. And when it comes to Henge or Transformation Jutsu, I can use my Shapeshifting to change into them. Let's practise it as well then.' Issei decided asked continued.
