Bab 57: 57. Becoming stronger
'.....'= Thoughts
"....."= Conversations

"What are you talking about?" Harry couldn't help but ask.
"Aren't you leaving Kamar Taj?" Wei questioned while raising his eyebrow.
"And who told you that?" Harry counter questioned as he tried to remember whether he told them about this at some point of time or wondered whether it was Ancient One who told them so in order to stop him from going.
"You said it yourself, almost a year ago. You don't remember?" Sarah asked and further continued,"Wait....yeah you were so wasted, seems like you have forgotten about it."
After Sarah mentioned that, Harry finally remembered that a couple of months ago, he was drinking with them in yet another beautiful location and Mark had brought a splendid wine from God knows where and they had a drinking contest....and after that, he couldn't remember anything about the events of the night. The wine was so strong that even with his improved physique he couldn't handle it, though it tasted heavenly.
'I just hope I didn't say anything stupid....or something about my past,' Harry hoped and decided to clear their misunderstanding.
"I am not going anywhere for now. I am going to stay here for a period of time before going on any adventure and I definitely won't leave without telling you guys...it's a promise," Harry spoke sincerely.
"Really?" Emma almost jumped in joy after hearing that.
Harry nodded his head and felt warmth in his chest after observing the expressions of his friends. Well, a year ago he definitely didn't want to stay here for long and wanted to leave after gaining some strength.
But as trained over a year and revisited his decisions and choices over the period of time after his transmigration, he felt that he acted like some kind of hot blooded teenager who wanted to go on exciting adventure and prove himself to the world and make a name for himself.
Now reflecting upon it, he knew that this sounded so stupid and he couldn't help but cringe from time to time about his actions in the past.
'I guess I should stop being overly emotional about things and only make important decisions when my head is in the right state,' Harry thought as he constantly kept reminding himself of these lines whenever he had the chance because even if he was aware about these things, it was really hard to change his behaviour. Though he was doing his best to better himself and the results could be seen through the decision earlier of not taking an unnecessary risk.
Afterall even though he emptied himself of his points, it's not like that he couldn't become stronger. He could still train his chakra control, practice his techniques and train in his seals with whatever materials he had. He guessed that these materials would last him for six more months before he would have to start hunting for points in order to upgrade his system and open higher level techniques.
'I hate to be so reliant on the system,' Harry thought but he knew that the system was playing an important role in his growth so no matter how much he complained he had to still make the use of the system. Though he was glad that the system atleast didn't force him to make decisions he didn't want to, but he wondered whether it was a good thing upon thinking back to the bad decisions he had made.
"Harry... Harry," Wei's voice woke him out of his contemplation.
"Sorry about that," Harry muttered and after spending some time with his friends chit chatting, he decided to go back to his training.
Of course he didn't let them leave until they deleted his photos.
'I definitely won't forget this Wei, wait for me,' Harry had forgotten about his revenge and humiliation though.
He closed the door and without wasting any time he entered the mirror dimension.

Eight months had flown by for Harry, filled with intense training and countless hours spent perfecting his skills. Kamar Taj had become his refuge, a place where the peaceful environment allowed him to focus completely on his growth. Every day, Harry worked hard to improve his chakra control, practice his techniques, and master the seals he had.
As he sat cross-legged in the middle of the room, a single lamp cast soft shadows on the walls. His posture was perfect, showing the discipline he had developed over the months. His breathing was calm and steady, his attention entirely on controlling his chakra with precision. The air around him seemed to hum with the energy of his effort, a clear sign of his commitment.
The journey to this point had been tough. There were times of frustration and exhaustion, moments when progress felt painfully slow. But Harry's determination never wavered. He faced the challenges head-on, knowing each obstacle was a chance to become stronger. His training was demanding and unyielding, pushing him beyond his old limits.
His mind was deeply focused, engaged in the delicate task of chakra control. He visualized the pathways of energy within him, guiding it with growing skill. The seals he worked with were now familiar, their complex designs and symbols easy for him to handle. Each small adjustment in his technique was made with the understanding of its importance in his path to becoming a better ninja.
Time passed unnoticed, blending seamlessly into the rhythm of his practice. The only sounds were his steady breath and the faint rustling of his clothes as he shifted. He was so immersed in his practice that he hardly noticed the changes happening within him. His chakra control was gradually expanding, and now he sensed a significant shift.
It started as a slight, almost unnoticeable change—a ripple of energy that moved through him with new intensity. The flow of his chakra felt stronger, its movements smoother and more powerful. Harry's focus sharpened as he tuned into this new sensation.
The feeling grew stronger, and Harry's breathing became a bit more pronounced. He stayed still, recognizing what was happening, and let the transformation happen naturally.
The room seemed to pulse with chakra, the atmosphere thick with the excitement of his achievement. Harry's eyes stayed closed as he felt the shifting currents of energy inside him. The intensity was thrilling, filling him with a sense of power and clarity. His body responded naturally, and he sensed the subtle changes in his physical and mental state.
Minutes passed quickly in the midst of this transformation. When Harry finally opened his eyes, he felt a deep sense of realization. The change was complete—he had reached the Chunin level, a major milestone in his journey. The feeling of accomplishment was both exciting and humbling, a true reflection of the effort and dedication he had put into his training.
A system notification popped in front of his eyes.
