The morning light slowly drew back the curtain, revealing another magnificent and colorful morning, descending upon the world with freshness and hustle.
"Another day full of expectations!"
In front of the French window, Shane bathed in the sunlight and stretched lazily. He turned to look at Olivia and Anna, who were chatting happily on the sofa.
Half an hour ago, Shane called Olivia and Anna to his room. Since they were traveling together from now on, they needed to get familiar with each other as soon as possible.
Honestly, Shane was a bit worried at first.
Although Olivia was just an ordinary human, she had a tough personality and dared to fight. Even when surrounded by a pack of wolves in a werewolf den, she dared to draw her gun. Anna needed no introduction—an old vampire who had lived for over a hundred years. Although she was relatively friendly to humans, she simply didn't treat them as blood bags or ants. Expecting mutual respect was unlikely; at most, a superficial interaction.
One was an assassin seeking revenge, the other a vampire solely focused on saving her mother. Both were supporting characters from two different shows. Seeing them in the same frame made Shane feel a lot of emotions. He didn't ask for them to get along harmoniously, only that they didn't cause him trouble.
In fact, Shane's worry was somewhat superfluous.
Influenced by Shane, Olivia had started to take an interest in supernatural creatures. Anna, wary of Shane's dark authority, was treading carefully. Their first meeting could be said to be quite harmonious.
Whether it was genuine harmony or just "plastic sisterhood," as long as it didn't affect him, Shane didn't care. He could be friends with either of them, but he wouldn't demand they be friends with each other.
Shane looked at Anna. He actually really wanted to test if the Evil Sealing Method could seal Anna's vampire bloodline. But the Evil Sealing Method had an awkward requirement: the subject had to be shirtless. If Anna were a guy, it would be fine, but she was a woman... that would be very awkward.
Forget it. He'd verify it later when he had the chance to meet another male vampire.
Poof!
Shane summoned three Shadow Clones.
The moment the Shadow Clones appeared, Olivia was startled. Then she noticed Anna beside her was very calm, as if she had known all along, which made her subconsciously regain her composure.
"These are my Shadow Clones. Your job is to be their sparring partner. Note: it's best not to actually hit them. Once a Shadow Clone vanishes, I have to summon them again outside, which is troublesome." Shane briefed Anna on her job duties, then took Olivia, his driver, and left the hotel.
"What is a Shadow Clone?"
"Distributing the chakra in the body evenly to create clones with physical substance using chakra. The clones can use ninjutsu to fight just like the user and have a certain degree of resistance to attacks. It's a ninjutsu where the clone's memories and experiences return to the original body after dispelling." Shane explained with a smile.
Olivia nodded, seemingly understanding but not quite. She hesitated, then probed, "Chakra is a type of energy, right? Energy used for ninjutsu. You said before that only you possess chakra, that only you are a Chakra Ninja. Why? Is it impossible for others to possess or master chakra?"
"You want to be a ninja?"
"No, not exactly. I want to be a Chakra Ninja like you."
"Chakra is an energy produced by the perfect fusion of physical energy and spiritual energy from human cells. Chakra extracted through special methods can be used to cast jutsu via hand seals. generally speaking, most people can refine chakra and become Chakra Ninjas. The only difference is the amount of chakra. However..."
Shane wasn't sure if people in this world could cultivate chakra. He only knew that wearing a ninja forehead protector produced by the System made one a ninja recognized by the System. Since they were recognized by the System, nine times out of ten, they could cultivate chakra.
Olivia hurriedly asked, "However what?"
Shane shook his head. "When I have time, I'll teach you the Chakra Refining Method. You can try and see if you can extract chakra."
Although the possibility wasn't high, it was worth a try.
The System had a function to cultivate ninjas. If relying on the Chakra Refining Method alone could allow natives of this world to possess chakra and become ninjas, wouldn't that System function become useless? Even if he were to cultivate ninjas and establish a Ninja World, it should be through him, the host.
Let Olivia try on her own first. If it didn't work, he'd give her a ninja forehead protector the next time he drew one from the lottery.
Olivia nodded, suppressing the expectation and excitement in her heart. "Where are we going?"
"First, find a silversmith with custom services. I want to make silver ninja tools. Later, contact the owner of the Williamsburg Diner for a meeting to try and buy the restaurant smoothly. By the way, remind me to contact Luke after we're done. I want him to introduce me to an art teacher." Shane had already planned it out.
Although the ninja tools produced by the System were well-made and easy to use, they weren't made of silver. Custom-ordering a batch of silver ninja tools specifically to deal with vampires and werewolves was necessary. Ninja tools were consumables, and the cost of silver tools definitely wouldn't be low, allowing for a steady stream of spending.
The Williamsburg Diner went without saying.
As for asking Luke to introduce an art teacher, on one hand, it was to prepare for Super Beast Scroll. On the other hand, he wanted to see if he could meet the Shadowhunters heroine Clary Fray and her mother Jocelyn.
Before encountering the Shadow World, Clary was quite an excellent art student and had even passed the interview for the Brooklyn Academy of Art. Her talent in drawing was inherited from her mother Jocelyn.
The current Clary should still be a little girl, right?
