Chapter 118: 118: Absolute Focus
The morning came. The rays of the sun shone upon the five teenagers sleeping.
Caleb stood up and stared at the others, who were asleep. Then he decided to go outside to complete his daily two thousand swings. Nowadays, he can already perform the Deka Step perfectly and kick the ground ten times in a second.
It was already given since his physique has far exceeded Fushigiro's too much. If they have a rematch. He doesn't need the poison to win against Fushigiro.
It was the confidence he had with his strength. Not to mention, the addition of his Gum Gum Rubber substance which gave him versatility.
Just like that, the afternoon went by. He finished his daily training consisting of sword swings and Deka Step. He also tried to replicate Feathery's Body and Finger, but it proved to be a difficult task without some explaining the nuances and details of him.
Now, training his body with conventional weight doesn't benefit him much. He even replicated the most difficult anime training in his past life, but he couldn't see improvement in his physique any longer. Not to mention, it was a difficult task to find a good weight that would stimulate his muscles by itself.
Lastly, he also trains his mastery of his Gum Gum Rubber, which has unlimited potential. He wants to develop his ability to its maximum potential. Now, he was currently trying to familiarize himself with coating objects or weapons with his substance, making them stick to his target upon contact. This would allow him to control and manipulate weapons remotely.
Isn't that a good long-range ability? Not only that, by attaching Gum Gu Rubber substance to an incoming attack or projectile, Caleb can redirect it away from himself, turning the opponent's strength against them. It was a handy move for counter-attacking.
He can literally do all sorts of things with it, such as create ropes or bindings to immobilize opponents, limiting their movements or preventing them from escaping.
Attach to surfaces or objects and propel himself through the air, effectively giving him the ability to fly or move swiftly like fucking Spiderman. He could use Gum Gum Rubber to reshape the battlefield, creating obstacles, traps, or structures to gain a tactical advantage.
He might be even able to use the substance to temporarily mend broken objects or assist in construction work. Of course, that's not his forte.
That's only the tip of the iceberg and he feels that he wasn't being creative enough. However, as long as his alive, he would develop a lot of unpredictable moves. He, who was Eternal, literally has all the time in the world. It was inconceivable how far he would be able to develop his ability.
'Thinking about it. It seems I'm destined to develop abilities to their full potential.' Thought, he.
With one last maneuver into the air. Caleb's body catapulted farther away and hit trees. His body literally penetrated ten thick trunks before stopping. He tried to act like Spiderman, but controlling his angles in the air and the direction of the swing proved to be difficult.
'Fuck! They didn't say in the film it would be this hard!'
After the training. He decided to go back to the wooden house to see what the other members were doing.
...
Caleb stared at the wooden door in front of him for a moment. 'Let's see if this works.' As he thought of this. He closed his eyes momentarily and tried to feel the surroundings with the utmost focus. Suddenly, thanks to his 29 stats in the spirit, he could feel or perceive everything ten meters around him. When he was in a state of absolute focus, no one could escape his senses or sneak upon him as he could even feel every step the ants took and even the rustles of leaves. It was a novel feeling.
However, he could only do such a thing when he had his eyes closed. If they were open, the scope decreased by five meters and the details weren't as clear or detailed.
Back at it. Caleb felt the presence of five people inside the house. For now, he couldn't determine who was whom specifically. However, he knew that once his spirit increases once again. To a hundred or even a thousand, he might even be able to penetrate the walls with his eyes like an X-ray vision, or make a mental map with a hundred-meter scope and still have a clear picture of everything within the scope of his senses. Of course, that's for the future.
It's not an ability in itself, per se. It's just a direct application of his powerful spirit that benefits his senses. After all, his spirit attributes were literally connected to other perception-related aspects such as Mental Strength, Mental Resistance, Reaction Speed, Perception, Five Senses, Dynamic Vision, Mental Energy, Intelligence, Energy Recovery Rate, Soul Def, Soul Strength, Etc... He would like to call this application of his spirit 'Absolute Focus!'
"Welp... It seems that damned Zetsu is already here." He muttered. Then he opened his eyes and pushed the door open. Read the latest on m_v-l'e|-NovelBin.net
As he expected, their team leader was already inside. He was currently talking with the other members of the team seven.
"You're late." Zetsu looked at Caleb with his eyebrows raised. When he saw the sweat and dirt on Caleb's body, he couldn't help but frown. "Where did you go? Aren't you aware of the danger outside? If something happened to you without my discretion, I'm not responsible to you... you should know that."
"I know... I know... I didn't go that far." Caleb scratched his nose sheepishly.
Seeing this, Zetsu sighed. "Okay. You kid almost reminds me of my brothers."
"You have brothers Zetsu-Sensei?" With a surprise, asked, Kazuto. Even the other members showed a loom of astonishment.
"You... Is it that surprising?" Says, Zetsu. "They are also cheeky bastards, like the five of you. They are Ten, Ren, and Hatsu. However, they didn't join the scout, although it pains me to say this. They are stubborn punks.
