Chapter 158 Chains Of Reaper Skill Testing

A boy with his silky hair tied in a ponytail was looking at the training dummy before him with a smile on his face. He was rubbing his hands together, expecting the result of his next skill.

He pointed his hand towards the training dummy and used his skill 'Chains of Reaper. A purple magic circle appeared in the air from which a chain appeared and attacked the dummy.

It was an old black chain that looked mysterious. At first, a small arrow-shaped dagger came out; its end was connected to a chain that was extending as if it were endless. Rishi was able to see everything slowly due to his high senses and Extreme Focus skill.

First, the dagger pierced through the dummy before the chain started binding him, and Rishi also felt as if he could control the chain. He tried controlling it and asked it to bring the dummy close to him.

The chain pulled the training dummy and brought it close to him. Rishi laughed, "The damage of this skill can also not be ignored. It costs me mental energy to control it. Which makes it very hard for normal people to control it."

"But I am not a normal person; I have created a mental world with the help of Mother, which gives a huge amount of mental energy, plus the life force also increases the amount of mental energy." He laughed again.

"Again," he said as he started using his skill in different ways. He even tried to use it to swing. He was a little clumsy at first, but with time he got used to it.

He tried all the tricks he knew with chains and even practiced some flashy moves. The chains required mana to remain, but the mana they needed was very little, so for Rishi, who had very high mana, it was very easy.

After he got bored, he decided to leave for a haircut. He went to the famous barber shop, which he visited often. The barber was a middle-aged man; he smiled when he saw Rishi before getting surprised.

He asked Rishi, "How did your hair grow so fast this time?"

Rishi replied, "Just an accident. Can you give me a good haircut?"

"Should I do it like last time?' asked Barber.

"Give me a haircut that suits me. You are a professional. I will leave it for you to decide," said Rishi while looking at his phone.

"Should I dye your hair black too?" he asked.

No, leave them like their natural color," replied Rishi.

The barber smiled and said, "So you have finally gotten back to your senses. Those black hairs don't suit you at all. You are the first person I have met who comes to me looking ordinary."

"Situations were fine that way, but now that I have decided, I will do as I wish," said Rishi.

"That's a smart decision," said Barber as he started giving Rishi a haircut. Rishi was busy on his phone and didn't notice that the work was already done.

The barber carefully washed his hair before using wax to set them for Rishi before saying, Tadaa! It's done boy; take a look."

Rishi looked at the mirror in front of him and was shocked for a while. With his new haircut, it suited him quite well. It was a quiff haircut; on medium, there were long silver hairs that were combed upward, while the hairs of the back and sides were short but not as short compared to a fade.

He looked much more handsome than before, with his cleansed skin, natural hair, and nice haircut.

The barber said, "You look like a completely different person now; some people might not even recognize you."

Rishi smiled; his height and body shape had also changed, with more clear skin and lighter hair color. He looked like a sixteen-year-old kid now. He paid the barber before leaving to join his archery class.

Like previously, he also came early today; the teacher also came at her usual time, but she was fifteen minutes early. The professor looked at him and asked, "What are you doing here?"

Rishi smiled and said, Mam, I am Rishab."

The professor laughed and said, "Look at yourself; do you think I will not recognize you? I have one of the best eyes in the school."

"I was worried about you, and here you are glowing up. Whom are you trying to impress?" teased the professor as she pinched Rishi's cheek. For her, he was just a kid who was trying to act like a grownup.

Rishi rubbed his red cheek and said with a proud look, "Mam, I have recently received a blessing that is responsible for all these changes. It's not my fault that I am this handsome." He had gotten very close to her in recent months, and he enjoyed her company very much.

The professor asked with a teasing look, "I know about it too, but if looks are all you got with this blessing, then it ain't worth it."

Rishi laughed, "Mam, it's just the side effects; the real things I got in the blessing are enhanced strength, greater control of Mana, and a big amount of Mana."

The professor had a shocked expression as she thought he would only get one skill as he had told others that it was just a low-level blessing, but now he revealed that he had gotten much more than that.

"Everyone would be jealous of you if they knew you got these things as blessings," said the professor.

"Mam, don't tell it to others. I don't want others to know everything about me; I trust you, which is why I didn't hide it from you," he said with a begging expression.

"Stop it; why would I reveal it in the first place? Let's go to the most important part. I think you should start using heavier and more powerful bows."

"Your long-range fighting style is that of a sniper, so it will not slow you down. The stronger bows are very useful as they provide high accuracy, high power, and long-range."

"The only disadvantage is that the strength required to use them is very rarely found in archers; I recommend you start practicing with them."

Rishi had a weird expression on his face for a while before he smiled and said, Mam, today you are looking very beautiful."

"What do you mean? I don't look beautiful other days," said the professor with an angry tone and raised brows.

"No, Mam, I mean you look beautiful every day, but today you look even more beautiful," clarified Rishi while a bead of sweat appeared on his forehead.
