20: Side Job
🕑 Added 2023-12-25 10:56:06 +0000 UTCAfter the testing was finished, Yuya walked back to the Academy courtyard, seeing many people returning, which annoyed Yuya a little as he didn't really like crowded places.
After waiting for a while, someone approached Yuya, and it was Reika, a girl.
"Hey! How did it go? Did you manage to get into a good class?" Reika asked with a beautiful smile on her face.
"Well, not too bad. I'm in Class B," Yuya answered calmly.
"Eh? Really? Me too! I'm in Class B!"
"Uhm? I thought because you're a member of the Noble Clan, you would be in Class A."
"No, only the strong ones are in Class A. I'm not that strong!"
"Well, I guess you're right."
"Attention! You have all been assigned to your respective classes! Starting tomorrow, you can go to the class you've been assigned to!"
"Huh?" Yuya shifted his attention to the person speaking.
"Now, you can all go back to your respective homes!"
"It seems like we'll be parting ways then. See you tomorrow, Reika."
"Yes, see you in class, Yuya!"
...
On the way home, Yuya remembered that concocting potions or making items was one of the things he needed to do to become stronger. However, the ingredients were difficult to obtain unless he went outside, and going outside was currently challenging, unless Yuya joined the Exploration Company or the Hunting Company.
The problem was they wouldn't accept someone who hadn't graduated yet. While thinking about it, Yuya noticed a flyer posted on a pole.
[Looking for Assistants, to bring items from outside back to the Village, a dangerous side job with high income!
If you dare and are strong enough to carry many items! Then please come to this address, does it matter if you're old? Young? Female? Male?
What is most needed is the strength to carry many items!]
"Interesting, and it's only available for today. I think it's time for me to go outside." Yuya crumpled the information flyer before heading to a place, which was Yuya's training spot. There, Yuya had a round object resembling a ping pong ball.
Then, Yuya channeled half of his Chakra into it, and soon the ball grew and formed a figure, which was none other than Yuya himself. Yuya had not only trained himself physically, in Chakra and Jutsu, but also created some useful things, one of which was the previous object.
The object was called the Substitute Ball, where it would replace Yuya's figure. Yuya's memories and behavior were embedded in it, and it would take Yuya's place while he went outside the Village for plant and ingredient hunting for making items, potions, or pills.
After that, Yuya instructed the Substitute Ball to go home. Seeing his own figure leaving, Yuya quickly took an item, which was a plain-looking mask.
Right after Yuya put it on, his body transformed and became someone else. Many might think that all of Yuya's plans wouldn't work, as someone could differentiate others using Chakra Scanning. However, the Substitute Ball and the Shape-Changing Mask couldn't be detected by someone at the Jonin level. Only someone at the Kage level or above could do that.
In other words, besides someone at Level A, B, C, or D, no one could know Yuya's disguise.
Because Yuya was not an important figure, no one would pay attention to the differences in Yuya's appearance, so all of Yuya's plans would go smoothly.
