Chapter 17: The System with an Error

Chapter 17: The System with an Error

"System, why did you just say that after you scanned the scrolls and imprinted the ninjutsu and taijutsu into my mind, I would still have to rely on my own efforts? I didn't understand that sentence!"

"Explain it to me. Why do I still have to rely on my own efforts when you've already imprinted the methods of use into my mind? Haven't you already imprinted it?" Orion asked, confused.

"Ding! This system can imprint the scanned ninjutsu and taijutsu into the host's mind, but that is not the host's own. The imprinted techniques are only at the 'just learned' state, not the peak state."

"Therefore, it requires the host's constant use to increase the proficiency of the ninjutsu or taijutsu, in order to enhance their power," the system replied.

"Sigh, forget it, forget it. I knew this system of yours was unreliable. Let's just get to the important stuff first! System, hurry up and scan these two scrolls so that I can start increasing the proficiency, right?" Orion said impatiently.

After Orion finished speaking, the system responded.

"Ding! A reminder to the host: to use this system's scan function, the host must have their eyes facing the scrolls they wish to scan. Otherwise, this system cannot perform the scan."

"Sigh, you talk too much."

After speaking, Orion arranged the two scrolls in front of him, placing them neatly before his eyes so that he could see both scrolls at the same time.

"Ding! This system is beginning to scan. Beginning to imprint ninjutsu and taijutsu. Congratulations to the host on the successful imprinting. You have successfully learned three ninjutsu and two taijutsu."

That's it? I looked at myself. "I don't feel anything?"

The very instant Orion finished speaking, countless data points were forcibly stuffed into my mind. The feeling was very strange. Countless pieces of unfamiliar knowledge were suddenly forced in. It was like the feeling of having eaten too much, but instead of my stomach being bloated, it was now my head that was bloated.

After a while, Orion felt much better. His head wasn't so bloated anymore, and everything seemed to have returned to normal. The only new additions were the ninjutsu in his mind: the Basic Three Academy Jutsu, the Leaf Whirlwind, and the Leaf Strong Wind.

System, list my basic information, Orion commanded.

"Ding! The host's basic information has been listed."

Soon, a white screen of light appeared before Orion's eyes, as if it were a projection. But only I could see this basic information. This was because one time, just as I had asked the system to list my stats, my mother, Kushina, entered my room. That incident really scared me. I was just about to explain the light screen to my mother, but she acted as if nothing was wrong, as if she hadn't seen the light screen at all.

She just brought in some clothes and pants she had bought for me, and then she left without saying anything else.

It was only after that incident that I realized that my mother, Kushina Uzumaki, couldn't see the light screen projected by the system at all. And it wasn't just my mother; no one else could see it either.

After that, I could only ask the system to see what the reason was, why only I could see it while others couldn't. After inquiring, the system's answer was this:

"Ding! Because this system is already bound to the host, only the host can experience its functions. Listing the host's basic information is also one of this system's functions. Therefore, only the host can see it, while others cannot."

Hearing this answer, my heart was full of exasperation, but it also conformed to the rules of a high-level thing like a system. Because it was bound to me, only I could see the light screen it projected; others couldn't see it at all.

Ever since then, I was no longer afraid. I no longer had to constantly worry about someone discovering the system in my mind. Orion didn't need to worry about this problem anymore.

Because of the system's explanation, coupled with my mother's personal test, I no longer needed to be afraid of this. Now I could relax and boldly use the system's functions in crowded places. I could use it however I wanted, and there was no longer any need to worry.

The system directly projected my basic information before my eyes.

"Hmm, not bad, not bad. As expected, after scanning, the Basic Three Academy Jutsu was added under ninjutsu. But why is there a 'Taijutsu' section below 'Ninjutsu'? I haven't seen that before. Did the system just update?"

"System, that 'Taijutsu' category, did you just update it?" Orion couldn't hold back his doubt and asked the system in his mind.

"Ding! That's correct. The Taijutsu category was just updated by this system. As this system has only been active for a short time, it is not yet perfect, so a small error occurred. Therefore, this system immediately performed a self-update to remove the error," the system replied.

"An error? System, you made an error!" Orion was very excited by the word "error." He never thought that our high-and-mighty system could also make mistakes. Forget it, forget it, making an error is perfectly normal. Who doesn't make a few mistakes?

"But since there was an error, shouldn't there be some small compensation to make up for it for me, the host? You see, I won't say anything about this error of yours, so shouldn't you give me some kind of compensation?" As Orion spoke to the system in his mind, he became more and more excited, happier and happier, almost to the point of laughing out loud.

Soon, the system in his mind gave a response.

"Ding! Since this system made a small error, the host's request is not entirely unreasonable. Therefore, after much consideration, this system has decided to give the host a small compensation to make up for the error this system has made. Please prepare to receive the compensation, Host."

After the system finished speaking, there was another massive information transfer. A large amount of information emerged in his mind. Countless pieces of knowledge were slowly accepted by my brain. Slowly, slowly, I came to know what was being transferred this time.

After the system finished the transfer process, Orion was astonished by what the system had transferred into his mind.

Before this, Orion had never imagined that the system would transfer these taijutsu techniques to me. He never thought the system would actually transfer the methods for using the Gentle Fist, the Eight Trigrams Palms, and the Rotation to me. It was truly incredible.
