Having not slept a bit during the night and still feeling as fresh as a daisy was decidedly a wierd experience for Sasuke. He had once tried to stay up way past his bedtime when he was four waiting for his nii-san to come home from a mission, and had a terrible morning the next day just from a few hours of lost sleep.
This morning though he felt the same level of refreshed he did the previous morning after a full night if sleep. Gamer's Mind and Gamer's Body were truly amazing.
With the sun finally above the horizon, Sasuke left his room and descended down to the kitchen. His mother was already up as always and was quite surprised to see him up and about.
"Good morning, Sasuke." She greeted. "You're up very early today. And here I thought you'll be sleeping in after that ruckus in the middle of the night." She pointed out.
"Just didn't feel like sleeping more." Sasuke mumbled back, taking some of the onigiri she had made for breakfast.
Onigiri with Seaweed
Common Object
CP Gain- 100
Sasuke quickly put them into the inventory when his mother's back was turned and stood up to leave. "I'm going to practice with my kunai." He told his mother.
"Not so fast, Sasuke." Mikoto stopped him. "You still haven't done the writing assignment I gave you last week. It was supposed to be completed 3 days ago." She chided.
"But I've already completed it, mom." Sasuke replied, thanking his stars that he had remembered it last night.
Mikoto raised an eyebrow. "Oh? Is that so? Then you'll have no problem showing it to me?"
Sasuke sighed. So little trust.
He quickly sprinted up the stairs to his room, got the assignment and ran down.
By running at fast speeds up and down the stairs, AGI has increased by 1.
"Here you go." He handed his perfectly written assignment to his mother.
Mikoto examined in critically. "The kanji are perfect. Too perfect, infact. You didn't pester Itachi to do it for you before he left for the mission, did you?"
Sasuke grit his teeth, resisted the urge to snap at his mother for assuming that he couldn't produce perfect work like nii-san did.
Wordlessly, he grabbed some writing utensils from the desk in the sitting room and proceeded to write down all the kanji he remembered being in the first assignment. His brush stroked were precise and quick and soon enough he had written all the characters with the help of his Calligraphy skill.
Mikoto eyes the paper with no small amount of amazement in her eyes. "Very well." She cleared her throat, seemingly embarassed about her previous doubt. "You may go to the practice range. Be back by lunch."
Sasuke scowled as he left the house but his bad mood was quickly suppressed with the help of Gamer's Mind.
He did have an idea, though after remembering his latest Stat gain in AGI. He took a longer route to the practice range, sprinting at his fastest speed. He could feel the burn in his legs after a dozen seconds but he persisted till he reached his destination taking the longest route possible while staying inside the Uchiha Compound. He noticed that his speed had considerably increased since yesterday.
By sprinting at your fastest speed, AGI has increased by 1.
By continuing to run through fatigue, END has increased by 1.
Sasuke couldn't stop the grin forming on his face after reading the notification. He hadn't been expecting at gain in END.
Now, in the deserted clan practice field for beginner Shurikenjutsu he finally had the opportunity to grind his Chakra Flare skill.
Four quick flares brought his CP down to 152/352.
Skill Chakra Flare Level has increased up by 1.
This was followed by consumption of two of his mother's onigiri. Bringing back his chakra to full.
Sasuke continued this till he finished all of the chakra recovery food in his Inventory.
Skill Chakra Flare Level has increased by 1.

At the end of this, he was left breathing heavily and his CP had increased to 184/384.

Susuke decided to give his chakra time to replenish and started his kunai throwing, his opening stance had a marked improvement over yesterday's amateur position. Almost all of his throws atleast landed somewhere on the target and more than one in ten landed right in the centre.
Granted he was using the novice range used only by children that too from a distance of 10 metres. But he still couldn't help but be impressed by his own improvement.
Actually, the skill never specified his the distance from which he had a 12 percent chance of getting a bullseye.
Experimenting a bit, he walked back to the edge of the training group and threw ten kunai in quick succession. Most of them went afar the target but one managed to embedded itself right in the centre.
This had so many possibilities, without the distance specification, he could technically be a kilometre away from a target and still have a decent chance of hitting it.

"Oh come on! Really?" Sasuke whined. That skill could have been a major cheat and now it was nerfed down.
Even so, 100 metres still wasn't a bad distance since he has been operating at 10 metres untill recently.
Shrugging it of Sasuke went back to the grind of constant throwing and retrieving the 15 kunai he had.

By lunch time he had been successful in his goal of upgrading the skill to level 10, though leveling it up was much harder than it had been yesterday.
Walking back towards his house, Sasuke casually started observing the people he came across. Most of them were civilians with levels between 5 and 20 depending on their age. Their stats were nothing to brag about. He even encountered a few Shinobi if the Uchiha Police Force with stats almost similar to or a bit higher than Uchiha Kazuko whom he had observed during the night.
Skill Observe Level has increased by 1.

Reaching home, Sasuke was quick to wash himself before entering the kitchen, not eager to poke his mother's wrath. He noticed that his chakra had replenished by now has fired of 9 chakra flares in quick succession, not afraid of depleting his CP to 24/384, since he was going to be eating anyway which would replenish his chakra again.
Skill Chakra Flare Level has increased by 1.
His mother turned to look at him sternly, apparently having sensed his flares. "I know practicing is important, Sasuke, but you have to be careful. You're still a growing boy. Chakra exhaustion can be very dangerous for you."
"I'm fine, mom." Sasuke replied. "I know my limits."
"You don't." Countered his mother. "You've never used your chakra beside the flare which you have been using recklessly. If you want to learn Shinobi techniques then you have to start with taijutsu like everyone else."
"Why did tou-san teach me the chakra flare first then?" Sasuke asked.
"Because of the attempted kidnapping of the Hyuuga heiress. You father wanted you to have a way to alert us instantly if you were ever in the danger."
Ding!

"I think he forgot to mention that particular use of the technique." Sasuke commented drily, as he read skill update.
"Perhaps he wanted you to figure it out on your own." Mikoto replied. "Anyway, I'm willing to teach you the basic forms of the Uchiha Interceptor Style this afternoon, if you promise to be attentive and not slack off."

Sasuke didn't have much time to ponder over the meaning of REP, as his mother was hard taskmaster. She took him to the dojo and demonstrated the neutral stance to him first. Then she made him hold it for half an hour straight.

During the next two hours she demonstrated the beginner kata to him and made him repeat them again and again. Any mistake would result in doing it all over from the beginning.
