Chapter 8 - Karate Class and Goals
After school, Akira brought Midoriya to the Karate class.
"Hi, are you here to register for Karate class?" The boy from yesterday asked.
"Yes, I brought my friend here too. Is it okay if he watched the class for a while ? He's interested but he wanted to check out first." Akira asked with a sweet smile.
"That's...that's not a problem." The boy said with a blush.
"Great! I'll be registering with the full-time plan!" Akira said.
The boy nodded and registered her into the class. "My name is Saito Hiroshi. If there's anything you need, you can just tell me."
"Thanks."
Akira then went to change into the uniform and waited for the class to begin.
Soon, the first class began. Akira made sure to pay attention to every move being taught. So, she didn't have much problem following the moves.
After class, she walked to where Midoriya was waiting. "What do you think?"
"I think it's good. But, I have to ask Mom first." Midoriya replied.
Akira nodded. "Alright, I'll go change and then we can leave together."
"Okay."
After changing back into her school uniform, Akira walked out of the bathroom.
"Let's go."
Midoriya nodded and they walked back home together. They live in the same neighborhood after all.
"Thanks for today, Akira-chan!" Midoriya said before he left with a smile.
Akira smiled.
*Your relationship with Midoriya Izuku reached another level. Congratulations, Akira-chan! Rewards : Five Stats points. Please choose how you want to assign the stats points.*
'So, it was a great idea to stick with Midoriya. Except for being so nice for his own good, he's someone who can be a good friend. Of course, it's better now that I could get some rewards from system just by building relationship with him.' Akira thought.
'As for stats points, I need to consider carefully. According to my current stats, I need to improve strength and maybe intelligence. I should also add one point to dexterity?'
After thinking for a while, Akira said, 'System, I'll use two points for Strength, two points for Intelligence and one point for Dexterity.'

"I see, I also got my stats improved after my first lesson. The stats look even better now. I wonder what will happen if I hit the 10 limit." Akira hummed, "I guess it's still early to think about. I have a lot of stats to improve and building relationship with characters just to get rewards is not good for long-term even if it gives me charisma points. So, I still need to train diligently for physical stats and read for intelligence stats?"
That should be it. Akira thought. 'Since I also have a writing skill, should I try that out and see if there's any connection between that and intelligence stats?'
She decided to try that out when she get home.
--------------------
Akira wondered what genre she should write. Then, she remembered loving mystery fictions when she was fifteen and that's all she need to remember before choosing mystery as her genre. She didn't include the concept of quirks in solving the mystery as she believed it ruined the intetesting parts. After choosing the genre, Akira came up with a plot and characters. It wasn't that difficult because she had thought of what kind of characters she would create when she wrote a book but it took some time to finalize the details. She ended up taking over a week to finalize the main and important characters. Then, she started to think of a conflict between the charactets to give the story a start. She slowly wrote chapter by chapter, pausing the writing and searching up information whenever she was unsure.
Thanks to that, her intelligence stats went up to 8.8 after struggling with details for three weeks.
One and a half-month later, she started publishing her story onto a wriring platform. It was a short story with 40ish chapters and she had only done writing twenty chapters by the time she started publishing but she believed it was okay.
During that time, she also didn't slack off in her Karate lessons. Every morning, she would get up early and stretch, do exercises and go for a run. She also would go to Karate classes three to four times a week. So, after training and learning diligently for one and a half month, her stats improved a lot. As for her Dexterity stats, it reached ten after a week or so. When the stats reached ten, she got a notification from the system.
*Your dexterity has reached the limit. Do you want to break through your limiter, Akira-chan?*
Without a doubt, Akira chose 'Yes'.
*Breaking through your limiter quest has been issued. You need to believe yourself and keep training diligently everyday, Akira-chan. One day, you'll break through your limits. Please work hard until you reach your goal.
Quest progress : 0% completed.*
"...."
Akira was speechless. "What the f**k is that, system?!"
"Please don't badmouth System, Akira-chan."
Akira sighed, "Fine, I guess there's no other way for now. Let's just keep training and see how this goes."
