Chapter 357 - Checking Progress
"Now that I think about it, what's the use of having charm stats?" Gustav voiced out.
"It doesn't help in battle, so maybe I should just focus my extra attribute points on other attributes," Gustav wondered out loud.
("You have no idea how monkish looking you were before... But this doesn't seem like a bad idea too,") The system chimed in.
"Looks don't really help in battle... I want to focus more on improving strength," Gustav explained.
("Whatever you say, Sherlock,")
Gustav; "..."
Gustav went on to check the progress of his skills.

---------------------------
Gustav checked them one after the other and noted his progress, 'I wonder how many levels max out these skills,' Gustav wondered after checking them out completely.
He went on to check his bloodlines. Every single bloodline now had a new ability attached to it, including his original bloodline.
------------------------------------
[Genetic Transformation Bloodline]
Grade: B
Abilities Tied To Bloodline:
<Shapeshifting>
<Joints Reversal>
<Size Manipulation>
<Cognitive Concealment>
<Partial Mimicry>
_______________________
This new ability allowed him to mimic the shape of a non-living thing for a few seconds.
Gustav could only transform into another person, change his skin color or hide his presence with his bloodline before, but now he could partially take the shape of non-living things. However, he could only maintain it for less than twenty seconds.
This ability was unlocked when he achieved the serial rank.
Gustav went on to check the quest panel.
------------------------------------
[Quests]
<Locate Dimension six in planet Humbad>
[Duration]
<Five years>
[Progress: 0.12/100%]
...
<Become The Most Powerful Mixedblood On Earth>
[Duration]
<Five years>
[Progress: 3/100%]
...
------------------------------------
Gustav skipped all other information and checked the progress of both quests.
"*Sigh* turns out I haven't made any progress in my research lately," Gustav wasn't surprised seeing the minuscule progress on the location of dimension six.
"6%? It only increased by 1.3... Just how powerful is that guy," Gustav noticed that his progress on the quest to become the most powerful mixedblood in the next five years only increased by a minuscule amount.
He checked his progress before breaking through to the serial rank so he could keep tabs of his progress afterwards.
"And Miss Aimee is close to his level of strength, which means she really does go easy on me when we're training... How is that considered even going easy on someone?" Gustav could remember just how severe Miss Aimee's training was most of the time.
He realized that even his complaints about her being too hard on him was actually her going easy.
'Five years... Hmm, I just have to give it my best shot then,' Gustav clenched his fist tightly as a smirk appeared on his face.
Although it seemed like an impossible challenge, he was still excited to see if he would be able to achieve it.
After resting for some time, Gustav went ahead towards Miss Aimee's place.
------
Two hours later.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
Sounds of intense clashing reverberated across the place.
It was a small building with a dojo-like structure.
Bang!
"Argh!"
An exclamation of pain rang out as a body was sent crashing towards the door.
"Weakling," Miss Aimee voiced out with a playful smile on her face as she stared at the defeated Gustav several feet away, leaning against the door.
"Ah, no fair, Miss Aimee," Gustav said as he stood to his feet.
"Haha, you expect me to go gentle on you? So shameless, It's your last day of training. Let your master beat you to her heart's content," Miss Aimee voiced out as she put down the weapon in her hand and raised her fists with a devilish smirk on her face.
"Hold on, Miss Aimee," Gustav shouted while stretching out his palm with a wary look as he struggled to catch his breath.
Miss Aimee totally ignored his pleas and arrived before him.
She dragged him to his feet and raised her hand.
"Uh?" Miss Aimee voiced out with a look of disbelief.
"If you hit me, it means you're hitting yourself," Gustav voiced out with playful laughter as he stared back at Miss Aimee.
He had transformed his face into that of Miss Aimee's. Beautiful long flowing ash-colored hair with a very pretty face and tender looking red lips.
Miss Aimee stared at her own face with a conflicted expression.
"Well, are you a masochist, Miss Aimee? Would you hit yourself?" Gustav asked with a cheeky smile.
"Shut up," Miss Aimee voiced out as her hand descended on Gustav's head.
Pow!
"Ow," Gustav exclaimed with a look of pain as he transformed back into his original look.
"You wanted to use such shameless moves to escape beating... Now It will be multiplied," Miss Aimee voiced out while laughing.
While Gustav's face showed despair as he crawled away in fright.
-
A few minutes later, Gustav laid sprawled on the floor in the middle of the dojo.
He was breathing in and out profusely with sweat all over his body.
Miss Aimee sat crossed leg on the other side with her eyes closed.
She was like a deity sitting in place as tranquility oozed out from her is spreading into the surrounding.
After a few more minutes of laying in place, Gustav sat up and stared at Miss Aimee.
"Btw Miss Aimee, you never did tell me what your second bloodline is," Gustav voiced out.
Miss Aimee opened her eyes, "You never asked," She responded.
"Well, I'm asking now," Gustav stated.
"Hmm, alright," Miss Aimee stated and stood to her feet.
"Follow me," She instructed.
Gustav did as he was told and followed miss Aimee out.
They were still in Gami dojo, but the instant they arrived outside their own training building Miss Aimee grabbed Gustav by the hand.
Swwiiihhhh!
Gustav only saw everywhere turn into a blur, and the next thing he knew, they had arrived at the top of Gami dojo, which was well over seven hundred storeys tall.
