Issei was surprised by the update of his Status when he checked it after reaching home. He looked at the various notifications he had received while he was in school and understood what had happened.

Not only had he leveled up after getting slapped by the girl while staring at her breasts, he had also leveled up twice for completing the Major Quest.

The Major Quest had rewarded him with 2 Levels, 5000 System Points, a passive skill called Evolution, Water Breathing Technique, and various other forms of Martial Arts knowledge like Karate, Jiu-jitsu, and Taekwondo.

Thankfully, a body maintainance manual was uploaded to his mind upon receiving the reward, otherwise he would've been too overwhelmed from the details of so many techniques.

'Still, the Minor Quest can be easily completed if I can gain Stats by leveling up.' Issei thought as he created an strategy in his mind, 'If I approach this method, I'll have to level up three more times. Without Quests, I cannot level up.'

"No rewards without hardwork." Issei nodded to himself as he concluded an decision, "I can Skip school for a week, so guess I'll pay an visit to the old man in Okinawa."

It was a long time since he had spent time with his Grandfather. Though, he would have to convince his parents for the trip first.

"Where should I begin now?" He asked the System for assistance.

[The Breathing Technique would be the perfect way to start. Once you know how to utilise the energy within your body, learning and adapting to your martial arts knowledge would be much more easier.]

'Can't believe I'll have to learn how to breath properly.' Issei inhaled an deep breath and sat on the floor by crossing his legs, 'By the way, I forgot to ask your name.'

[You can simply refer to me as your Guide.]

"No, no, that won't do." Issei shook his head with an persistent smile, "Guess I'll have to give you a name. How does Isis sounds?"

[Short and Meaningful. Accepted.]

"Great, now let's focus on the task at hand." Issei nodded with an satisfied expression and closed his eyes, before he proceeded to follow the manual of Water Breathing technique in his mind.

It was a little difficult to follow the procedure at first, but once Issei got the concentration, he couldn't even tell how multiple hours passed during his meditation.

Later, he only woke up once his Mom called out to him.

The same day, during dinner, Issei explained to his parents about his decision and his plans.

"I want to visit Grandpa at Okinawa and stay with him for a few days." Issei stated while looking at his mom and dad at the dinner table, "I've already informed the school about my leave."

"Is everything alright?" Mom asked in an concerned tone.

"Grandpa, huh." His Dad was thoughtful, "Are you sure you wanna visit him? I mean, we all know he loves you, but.."

"I'll be alright, Dad." Issei assured with an smile, "I'll be back before you know it. I just want some break from school."

Both his parents noticed that Issei was different than before, more mature and sensible. They wanted to know what had changed but also didn't wanted to disturb his privacy.

"You can go." Issei's Dad nodded in permission, "And you'll be back in a week."

"Or two." Issei shrugged with an casual smirk, "I'm thinking about touring a few places with Grandpa."

"Don't fall into his wierd antics, okay?" Mom stated in worry, "We all know that he thinks he can see ghosts and other stuff."

Garou sighed as Miki talked badly about his Dad, "He's still my father, you know?" He stared at her, "He won't harm Issei."

"I know." Miki glared at her husband to assert her dominance in the house.

"Thank you, both." Issei interjected before a fight could break out, "I'll go to my room and start packing things for tomorrow. Good night."

"Good night." His parents wished him simultaneously as he left the dinner table.

Finally, he wrote a letter to the Student Council about his absence and sent it to their mail address.

"Actively using the Breathing technique is a little hard, but I can feel the difference." Issei thought aloud by leaning back on his chair, "I'm sure I'll get used to it after continuous practice."

[May I remind you that you have a lot of System Points. You can access the store to purchase some Skill manuals, scrolls, and other ability specified Grimoires. You can also purchase artefacts and Bloodlines, but they are out of your budget right now.]

'Bloodlines?' Issei frowned in confusion, misunderstanding the term as something else.

[Bloodline is an inheritance that you can purchase from the store to obtain certain racial abilities. The Bloodline will be integrated with your original Bloodline, leading you to achieve an Higher form of the two.]

"Oh." Issei comprehended, "So it's not what I thought it was." He chuckled at his paranoia, "I thought I might become a Demon or something."

[Demon Lord Seed is available in the Store for 10,000 System Points. Though, you'll need to inherit an demonic Bloodline first, which costs 6,000 System Points.]

[The Alternative for a Human race would be the Hero's egg, which comes for the same price as Demon Lord's seed. Host has fulfilled all the requirements to purchase the Hero's egg.]

"Huh.." Issei was astonished and stunned for a moment, "I'll think about it when I have the Points."

Issei got up from his chair and started packing for his trip tomorrow, because he planned to leave early in the morning.
