3000 Points and a Rank C Reward were quite the sum, and allowed them to exchange for quite the rewards.
My ability to see compatibility between powers also helped them choose as they all bought their enhancements.
To start off, my oldest teammate still alive, Johnathan.
[Ancient Magic: Grants you affinity to Ancient Magic from Hogwarts Legacy. Costs Rank C Reward and 2800 Points. Requires Wizard Mutation.]
This wasn't too bad of an upgrade, especially since it had a good compatibility with many other rewards. And having played the game myself, if trained well enough this could lead to some interesting powers, and he would definitely become a strong ally. Especially with how fast the game character rose in power, although I doubted he would be this fast in real life.
Next was Sarah, who went for Skyrim's power system. With the Dragonborn upgrade costing a Rank A Reward and 10000 Points, I expected her to start another path while she gathered what she needed for the Dragonborn enhancement, I even showed her a few compatible enhancements, but she took something that surprised me, as I didn't even know about it.
[Nede Bloodline: Grants you the bloodline of a Nede, which allows you to use the power of the Stars. Costs Rank C Reward and 2200 Points. Requires Breton Bloodline.]
I didn't even know about the Nedes, but Sarah had found them after some research. Apparently, they are the ancestors of the Bretons, and lived during the First Era. One of their most famous members was Saint Alessia, one of the most badass women in Tamriel history as she led enslaved humans to rebel against the Ayleids, who were High Elves, and created an Empire. The First Empire of Cyrodiil, actually.
After her death, she was canonized by Akatosh himself, and became the patron saint of humanity.
So yeah, that was a cool race, and I was curious to see what she would be able to do with that.
In comparison, Erik simply followed the path he had set out on, and bought Intermediate Level Qi.
As for our three newbies, both Asher and Claire bought something I recommended to them both, and which I considered to be one of the best enhancement of its level because of its compatibility with nearly everything else.
[Super Soldier Physique: Transforms the user into a perfect human being. Rank C Rewards and 2500 Points.]
That's right, they both got the Super Soldier Physique, just like me. And why wouldn't they, it not only was compatible with nearly everything, it also granted great power, and improved one's potential in nearly everything.
I, for sure, wouldn't have made as much progress with the Force without the Super Soldier Physique.
Finally, for Jordan, he also took something I found to be good. He took Genin Level Chakra. It only cost him a Rank D Reward and 300 Points.
Chakra moved all the way up to Rank A, and was a good choice by itself. However, it was the fact that we had access to Naruto's world that really made this choice shine to me. I had actually considered taking this as a secondary path myself.
The reason for that, is that even with a Genin Level Chakra, one could potentially reach God level in Naruto, if they somehow managed to get the Ten Tails.
Moreover, even without that, even if Jordan didn't buy the higher version of Chakra, he could make it grow by himself, and reach Jonin or even Kage level with training only. Hell, he could even go and get tailed beasts.
Actually, out of the entire group, I expected the most out of him, because he was going to have the most time in our incoming training session.
Everyone had received new abilities, but except for Claire and Asher, we needed time to get used to them. That's why they are going to use all the Points they have left to buy time in Naruto, and train their skills in there.
That would be for everyone, except for Asher. She was already good enough in fighting, and while I would have liked for her to get used to the unlocked mode, she also said she would be much more efficient with a sniper.
So she used her remaining 500 Points to buy a Barrett M82, not the infinite version as she didn't have enough Points, but she bought enough ammo to practice with it and for our next movie.
Considering the worth of a sniper in a team fight, I would have actually bought her the Infinite Barrett M82 50 Cal, as it was worth 1000 Points. Unfortunately, I couldn't afford it.
After my own purchase, I was left with 5035 Points. And I would use nearly all of them.
Despite being the strongest in my team, I ironically also was the one who would use this training time the best.
But more importantly, I had an objective in mind.
We had arrived in Naruto on the 1st of July within their world, and left on the 7th. Well, technically, we left on the 8th at 00h00.
But more importantly, after some research on Naruto's world timeline, I discovered that we had arrived slightly more than a year from Naruto's birth.
489 days away from his birth, actually.
And his birth, or rather the attack on Konoha that came with it, happens to be exactly what I was aiming for.
In Skyrim, completing the Bleak Falls Barrow dungeon had rewarded me with the Fists of Randagulf, an item I intended on using for quite a while.
So taking part in the attack on Konoha and changing its outcome… that should give me quite the reward.
But even without that, helping Konoha with their crisis would make me friends with the most powerful village in the world, and potentially grant me access to Jutsus that could turn out to be very useful. For example, having Jordan master the Flying Thunder God Technique would definitely be a huge help in any mission.
And if I wanted to get to that night, starting from the 8th I would need to buy 22 days to finish June. Then, 62 days to go through July and August, another 30 for September, and 10 to get to the 10th of October. That was 124 Days.
According to the timeline though, Naruto was born the year after, so I got to add 365 days to that, and so that makes for a total of 489 days. And at the rate of 10 Points per day, that was 4890 Points.
So if I wanted to get to Naruto's Birthday, and the release of Kyuubi on Konoha, I would only be left with 145 Points, which was far from enough to buy her gun.
Besides, even if I had more Points, I would have kept them. Only if I had 6000 Points or more after the training in Naruto would I afford her the gun.
That's because if I had more Points, I would only buy enough days to be sent back to God's dimension the day after Naruto's birth, to get healed.
After all, Kyuubi's attack was quite the devastating attack, and I didn't know in which state I would be in after the attack. So the best situation would be to have 5000 Points left for eventual healing.
Unfortunately, I didn't have that many Points.
And since I doubted 145 Points would heal much, I decided I might as well use all my Points in paying days in Naruto. Like this, even if I get out of the fight in a bad shape, I would still have fourteen days to recover with medical ninjas.
That's why I decided to spend 5030 Points to buy myself 503 days worth of time within the world of Naruto, and I used the remaining 5 Points to buy precious gems, so I would have money within this world.
