*Maybe it was my prayer before or the protagonist's aura but apart from the Ex lvl integration and breathing method that are currently no use, the others are just what I needed.*

*system use everything apart from the Ex lvl integration and breathing method*

[Yes host!]

immediately a warm current began to flow through his body, in a trance he seemed to become a martial arts master fighting all over the rivers and lakes.

Suddenly the scenery changed, from a martial art master he became a world-class ninja who could never be caught. 

as various images played through his mind, a bronze pill had unknowingly found itself floating in his stomach.

After a few seconds, it dissolved into a powdery-like substance and began to cover his whole body inch by inch from the inside out. 

which resulted in the constant strengthening of his body. All this happened in just a few seconds.

"hiss~ this power!" feeling the newfound power flowing through his body Arthur  ripped out a right-handed punch in satisfaction.

What followed was a gust of wind frightening Elric back.

"yo-you-you..." stammering the shock and confusion in his eyes could not be concealed.

"I don't know what game you're playing but kneel before I change my mind!" Although he said so, his tone had visibly reduced and Arthur on the other hand was still experimenting with his newfound power.

*System bring up my data panel*

[Yes host!]

Feeling the power is one thing but seeing it physically is another. Seeing the serious increase in stats Arthur felt it would be no exaggeration to call himself the strongest unawakened.

"Elric!" facing him, Arthur didn't have the timidity he was expecting.

Rather, he seemed to have transformed into a beast ready to catch its prey.

"Let's make a bet, whoever awakens a worse ability shall be the porter of the other for life!"

As he said this, the whole class went into a frenzy.

"Gasp!"

"Interesting I wonder if he'll accept"

"obviously he would, after all, he's from the a top hunter family"

Only George was worried after all, if Arthur loses there would be no chance to turn over, unfortunately, he didn't know about the system otherwise he would have pressured Elric into accepting.

Hearing the ridicule of his classmates, Elric's anger which had already died down began to rise again.

"Bet? you want to bet? fine, let's bet! I heard you have a little sister, I don't mind taking her as interest. ``Thinking of Arthur's sister, a lewd smile appeared on his face.

"What did you say?! If you dare lay a finger on Elsa I'll never let you go" subconsciously he used the newly gotten swift Steps and appeared in front of Elric.

Elsa Keane, his younger sister, unlike the original body's owner, was a genius who excelled in both martial and liberal arts, known as the class flower of her school.

Thinking of this, his eyes couldn't help but turn colder as he faced Elric.

*Boom!*

Just as he was about to make his move and try his new strength, a large bang interrupted his thoughts.

"What are all of you still doing here!"

"roll out for me!"

Shouting at the top of her lungs was none other than their teacher Reyna . who should have left earlier, apparently she heard the commotion from earlier.

Seeing her so fierce, the whole class immediately bowed their heads and exited the class to avoid getting noticed.

"Sorry Miss Reyna I'm going now"

"I think I just heard my mum call"

"*Ahem* it seems the services of the great Davis are also needed, I'm definitely not scared of Miss Reyna or anything"

"ha-ha sure, be careful Miss Reyna hears you"

Hearing this, Davis suddenly felt a shiver run through his spine.

Turning his head, he noticed Reyna who was staring coldly at him at the entrance.

Soon the class was empty leaving only Reyna, George , Arthur , and Elric.

Staring at George and Arthur opposite him, Elric knew he was in a bad situation.

Taking a glance at the two, he calmed down and took a deep breath.

"Humph!"

"I agree, but don't think I'll let you off easily when you lose"

Not waiting for their reply, he quickly left the room.

"...."

Silence.

Maybe after one minute or even ten, George and Arthur looked toward Miss Reyna and acted together at the same moment.

"Thank you, Miss Rey!" With a synchronised bow, it seemed they'd been in this situation more than once.

"Sigh... what am I going to do with the both of you, especially you Arthur."

"Although I don't know what gave you the confidence to make such a bet but careful, remember he's from a top hunter family amily" 

Judging from the alteration just now, it's obvious that her student might not be as simple as the class 'sleeping God', unfortunately, it wasn't her position to explore her student's secrets.

"If you're thankful then leave my sight now!"

"Yes ma'am!"

The two of them immediately went home.

Looking at the empty class Reyna couldn't help but mutter

"I hope no accidents happen tomorrow" 

...

Standing In Front of a large billboard that said the words 'first high middle school' two students could be seen talking

"it seems we owe Miss Reyna another favour"

"Indeed"

"Arthur wait up, are you sure you don't want me to follow you home?"

Looking at Arthur  who had already gotten on his bicycle, George asked in surprise

"It's fine George I have to hurry, Elsa would probably be waiting for me."

Obviously not taking Elric's threats seriously.

"Fine, but remember to call me if anything happens"

After waving goodbye to each other they immediately went their separate ways.

"*Phew* thank God I managed to shake him off, if he followed me home he would definitely have noticed the difference in the original owner's character and mine, however how to deal with Elsa is the problem"

Thinking of having a new sibling out of nowhere he couldn't help but get a headache.

Time flew quickly as he began to plan ahead, unknowingly he had already arrived at his home.

A small rundown bungalow that was left to him and his sister by his adoptive parents.

Parking his bike on the front lawn he took a deep breath and approached the front door.

*knock knock knock*

*knock knock knock*

Unfortunately, there was no answer to how many times he knocked

"Elsa?

Just as he was about to forcefully open the door, the door opened by itself revealing a black shadow pouncing on to him

"Wha-!?"
