Body Modification (Part Two)
IMPORTANT NOTE
Hey everyone, I made a slight mistake in previous chapters. The grandpa system is level 3, not level 2. That's it. Enjoy the chapter

Hazel realized there were other body modification models aside from the one she suggested. He stopped his finger and looked at the other models.
[Name: Vigorous Body Modification
Description: a body modification that is modeled for a close combat warrior. Raise strength grade to C and endurance grade to B].
[Name: Deadly Wind Modification
Description: Agile and dexterous. Suitable for people who want to learn light body arts. Raise agility grade to B and strength grade to C].
[Name: Arcana Apprentice Modification
Description: Modifying the brain and spirit, making this a suitable modification for people who pursued the truth through the arcane path. Raise intelligent grade to B and wisdom grade to B].
Hazel didn't need to think through his choice too much. [Magic Warrior Body Modification] was the most suitable for him because almost all his stats were poor.
After clicking the product, his affection points were deducted, and blue light enveloped his body.
[Your endurance has increased by 4!]
[Your agility has increased by 7!]
[Your perception has increased by 7!]
[Your intelligence has increased by 8!]
[Your wisdom has increased by 8!]
The body modification only lasted for a moment. After it was done, the blue light around his body dissipated.
Hazel hadn't felt anything, so he doubted anything had happened to him. He had to check his stats to make sure something good had happened to his body.
[Name: Hazel Larson
Species: Human
Level: 4
Talent: Grandpa System (Lv. 3)
Strength: 26 (B) || Endurance: 19 (C)
Agility: 18 (C) || Perception: 17 (C)
Intelligent: 13 (C) || Wisdom: 13 (C)]
[Abilities: Axemanship (Lv. 5), Power Slash (Lv. 1), Grandpa System (Lv. 3)]
"It truly did work," Hazel said, amazed. Not only did his stats grades increase, his stats also gained massive boosts. Previously, he couldn't hope to learn magic with his abysmal intelligence and wisdom, but he could try with his C stats potential. Even in the entire academy, his talent in magic was among the talented students. He wasn't comparable to the true geniuses, but this progression made him grateful.
"You still can buy a few things from the shop. Let's see. Try to open the potion category," Mircalla said.
Hazel did what she asked, and he kept scrolling through the page until Mircalla found something that was good for him.
After a few moments, Mircalla stopped him at a product called [Training Potion]. It had the effect of boosting his training effectiveness by 300%, and it lasted for 8 hours.
Hazel bought one and another potion called [Stamina Potion]. After deducting his points, he only had 100 affection points left.
"There goes my money," Hazel said, sighing.
"Don't worry too much. It was all worth it. Now , shall we go training?"
Hazel nodded and left the room. He carried his long-handled ax to the training field in the academy. At this time, he was alone, and he liked training alone. Without further ado, he started swinging his ax at the training dummy.
"Your form is good. I guess you have a high level of [Axemanship] for a reason," Mircalla praised.
Hazel smiled proudly. Before he became a student of this academy, he had worked as a lumberjack. His ax practice was kind of different. He didn't treat it as simply chopping wood. He treated it like it was a martial art. Maybe that was the reason he gained this [Axemanship] ability.
"Alright. I have seen enough of your form. Shall we learn about breathing techniques?"
Hazel's eyes shone in excitement when he heard that. In this academy, students would get a free breathing technique at mid semester, but it was one of the most basic breathing techniques.
Even so, every breathing technique was priceless because it could awaken someone's aura when practiced to a certain mastery.
If this was the previous Hazel, he would be excited to learn the most basic breathing technique. However, after getting [Grandpa Systems], his standard had gone up. He would only be satisfied if he could learn a high quality breathing technique. Luckily, Mircalla would teach him.
"I have collected plenty of breathing techniques, and many of them are top quality, but you can only practice one breathing technique for a lifetime. So, before I show you the list of my collection, I want to remind you to choose the one that's suitable for you, even if it is just medium quality. Breathing techniques can evolve after all. Don't be like me who is using an incompatible breathing technique."
"Your breathing technique is unsuitable for you?" Hazel asked.
Mircalla coughed and averted her eyes. "Life circumstances. Well, now that you are basically a baby chick, I want you to grow up to be a healthy rooster. Now, this is the catalog." She waved her hands, and a blue screen appeared in front of him.
Hazel read the list of breathing techniques in her collection carefully and paid attention to the details. Just as she said, she collected a lot of breathing techniques. He couldn't help but be amazed by her vast knowledge.
"Do you learn all these techniques?"
"If you mean by practicing them, no. Like I said, we can only learn one breathing technique, no, I shall correct myself. We can only master one breathing technique, so obviously I am only learning one breathing technique. I only memorize those breathing techniques in case I have a disciple."
"So if we can only master one breathing technique, does that mean we can learn many breathing techniques at once?"
"Go ahead if you want to cut off your way to become a master class. When you learn a breathing technique, your body will progressively evolve to attune yourself with the breathing technique. When the attunement has reached complete mastery, that's when you become a master class. People who learn multiple breathing techniques can't have a pure attuned body suitable to become a master class."
"I see. Then, I will choose my breathing technique carefully."
Mircalla nodded. "Remember, choose one that's suitable for you, even if it is medium quality."
Hazel held her advice in high regard as he scrolled through the list. Even though she said to consider medium quality breathing techniques, many top quality ones were suitable for him and his taste. He could judge which one was suitable for himself because he was familiar with his body. Of course, Mircalla helped him pick some too.
After a while, they got a dozen techniques for him, but they still had to sort things to a few, and they finished it eventually.
On the screen, there were four top breathing techniques that were suitable for him. Hazel needed to choose one thoughtfully.
[Name: Destruction Devil's Breathing Technique
Rank: Top Quality
Description: When reaching a certain mastery, your aura will contain destruction property that can bring out the aura's counter ability property to the max. When you learn this breathing technique, your libido will vanish until you reach the grandmaster class.]
[Name: Holy Celestial's Breathing Technique
Rank: Top Quality
Description: When reaching a certain mastery, your aura will have a holy property that is effective against unholy creatures and healing property. Your aura will also become solid, increasing your defense greatly.]
[Name: Abyssal Elder's Dark Technique
Rank: Top Quality
Description: When reaching a certain mastery, you will awaken a dark aura. This dark aura can transmute other abilities into your own dark aura, providing the user with almost infinite stamina and aura in the battle. You will also awaken an innate ability to control other creatures' minds.]
[Name: Celestial Gardens of Nine Stars
Rank: Top Quality
Description: Nine celestials of nine worlds worked together to create this breathing technique for their champion, but it was lost forever after the Great Immemorial War. This technique has nine phases. Each of the phases allows the user to learn a special elemental property. The user will reach the master class after reaching the fourth phase and grandmaster phase after the ninth phase.]
These fours were what they had picked together. Truthfully, Hazel fancy them all, alas he could only choose one.
Mircalla herself was the user of the [Destruction Devil's Breathing Technique], so she could describe the technique vividly. According to her, she could overpower enemies with the destruction aura alone. Weird techniques and intangible creatures were nothing in front of her. Her aura could simply overpower them.
[Holy Celestial's Breathing Technique] had better counters for unholy things, curses, and sickness. It was better than [Destruction Devil's Breathing Technique] when facing them. Furthermore, the healing property was so potent it could revive the user when they die after a certain period repeatedly, making the user almost immortal.
[Abyssal Elder's Dark Technique] had comparable aura property with the [Destruction Devil's Breathing Technique]. Only a stronger aura user could overpower the other user. However, this technique had better versatility as it gave the user an ability to control other people's minds.
However, if it was about the best versatility, [Celestial Gardens of Nine Stars] was the best out of them all. Each of the phases allowed him to learn a special elemental aura. Special here implied the elemental had a unique effect. For example, the phoenix's flame had the power of healing. If his elemental aura had a special property, there was a chance he got a cool ability such as a phoenix flame.
