Chapter 4- My Cheat Skill
The walk from the Academy wasn’t long, but it gave me time to think. I had finally extracted chakra, which meant my cheat could now be put to full use.
I stepped inside, locked the gate, and let the silence of the empty house settle over me.
No noise. No distractions.
Time to figure out what perfect chakra control could actually do.
I sat cross-legged in the living room and closed my eyes.
Chakra.
That low thrum beneath the skin — it was still there. Like a heartbeat I’d just now learned to hear.
I reached for it again. This time with intention.
It responded.
Slowly, carefully, I drew it up from my gut to my chest, through my arms, into my fingertips.
Smooth flow. Zero resistance. It was like running water through a perfectly tuned pipe system.
I tried forming threads — small strands of chakra, thinner than a hair. One between each finger. Then wrapped around my palm. Then between both hands.
