"Hmm.."
Laiz hummed thoughtfully as he reviewed his achievements he had gotten after the battle against Kakashi.
Sitting on his bed, he scanned the panels before him.

-- -- -- --
These three achievements along with his increase in levels bought Laiz to a whopping 5700 Shopping Points
Laiz smiled droolingly as he planned to spend some of it on an awesome power. Well, that's for later.
Another great benefit from the fight was his increase in level. It jumped from 14 to 26, which Laiz understood. Had he gained less than 5 levels, he would have flipped. Fighting against one of the strongest shinobi of this world is not something to be cheaply rewarded. Something Laiz has noticed is how the system unlocks certain functions in relation to his actions. The library as well as the new mission panel reinforced this idea.
Laiz took his forehead protector he got as a Jonin and smiled as he gazed at the setting sun outside his window.
Laiz yawned as he tied the forehead protector to his neck and faced the metal to his left
'It's definitely something to look forward too.' He tightens it and lays down in bed.
...
A month had passed since Laiz became a Jonin. He's earned a reputation around Konoha during that time.
"Would you like anything else, Laiz-san?" A young man dressed in a typical waiter attire asked tiredly as he set a bowl of soup and rice on Laiz's table.
"Ah, I'd also love a cup of coffee please, any kind" Laiz smiled at the offer.
If you come across this story on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen from Royal Road. Please report it.
"Right.. The usual it is" The waiter sighed as shook his head in a friendly manner.
He had already told Laiz countless times that this obsession to coffee is bound to be bad for his health. Yet, he comes back here everyday to order cup of coffee.
'It's not like i can change her mind at this point..' And here we have another victim of gender confusion
"Yup!" Laiz played innocently. He already knew about his addiction to coffee.. But he also knew it's not the worst out there.
"Ok, enjoy your meal. I'll hand you your coffee after it's done" With that, the waiter walked back to the kitchen behind the counter.
"Thank you, Momiji-kun" Laiz smiled at Momoji playfully
Momoji couldn't help but sigh at Laiz's use of informal title. He's already nineteen!
'She doesn't even look that much older..' Momoji could do nothing but complain. He already knew of Laiz age.
Laiz's smile stayed on Momoji before laughing softly.
He took his pair of chopsticks and started eating his soup slowly.
The next day Laiz became a Jonin, he went through many missions around Konoha. Most of them were just simple D-rank missions involving chores for civilians. The reward wasn't too great, just a few coins of ryo from his clients and 10-15 shopping points from the system.
To get a perspective on how much D-rank missions he took, he made a total of 530 shopping points by that alone.
That may seem pointless to an ordinary Jonin but, he's not exactly from Konoha. He had to build trust with his fellow shinobi and Konoha as a whole first.
Besides.. Doing normal things once in a while is never a bad thing.
He also took some C-rank mission after his first 20 D-ranks.
Most of them involved escorting someone from low possibilities of bandits attacking, beating some animals up and background checks. Normal stuff.
He earned a minimum of 30,000 ryo and an average of 100 shopping points from the system on each C-rank.
In total - he was on his way to wealth and made 1500 shopping points. That gave him of 8000 shopping points then. Until he spent it, on an awesome power!

Technomagic:
The ability to use magic using knowledge of technology, ranging from automation, computers, robotics, etc.
- Grants the user 'Aethon' an energy that synchronizes well with data and the brain.
-- -- -- --
Along with this description came a video demonstrating the skills and techniques this ability has the potential to do in his hands.
It's able to create or reinforce virtually anything, as long as he had the scientific knowledge to do so. Well, maybe not everything. It still required stages of proficiency as the complexity gets higher but, he could get to that level someday. Besides the proficiency required, this ability is basically his partner considering his high Int and Wis. Not to mention that Oswald's library had books containing higher levels of science.
He could create many equipment only seen in a sci-fi movie or even from a fantasy!
But, before he should raise his head into the dreamy future, he had to say that he was still a beginner.
At his level, he could:
- Scan vision input mathematically. Basically view things around him with exact accuracy, whether it be distance, angle or location.
- Create simple constructs. This was at a low level right now not because of his knowledge, but his current lack of proficiency in Technomagic.
- Technological mind. This gave him a boost in intelligence and forged a personal bond in anything technology related. That means he could connect to any electronic database with HIS BRAIN as long as he can bypass it's security.
All great stuff for a beginner. Though, Laiz was kind of scared at getting his head hacked as a result of his technological brain.
'How do you even create a firewall in your head..' Laiz considered tempering with his brain but he didn't even know where to start.
'A thought for later' Laiz mentally chucked the thought for now.
His focus switches to the message he read this morning. Apparently it was from the Hokage. It just said to attend a Jonin meeting this afternoon.
'I wonder what its for..'
Laiz's thoughts are interrupted by Momiji as he set a cup of steamy coffee down.
Laiz smiles after seeing the coffee.
"Thank you" Laiz said sidedly as he kept his gaze at the coffee in front of him.
".. No problem" Momiji sighs and leaves Laiz immediately as customers call for his attention.
Sipping his coffee in bliss, Laiz ponders on what the Jonin meeting is about.
He glances at the parents and kids out in the bright day outside his window.
'Ah!' Laiz mentally shouted in realization
'It's that time of the year again..'
