Chapter 16: Everyday Highschool life, injecto patronum.
Before long, both Ren and Ai came to their senses.
Lying on the couch, hugging and playfully teasing each other was certainly fun, but both had sweated quite a bit and released certain bodily fluids, ruining their clothes.
They decided to take another shower and prepare for bed.
As Ren returned from the kitchen after drinking some water, he saw Ai exiting the bathroom and heading toward the guest room, where she had already prepared a bed for herself.
Ren smiled and shook his head. The maid was acting composed, but as he approached her, Ren took her hand and gently led her into his bedroom.

Late into the night
While staring at the ceiling, Ren glanced down at the pale blonde sleeping in his arms.
Lightly kissing her forehead, Ren carefully slipped out of the sheets and left the room. He went downstairs to the living room and sat on the couch.
"Status," he muttered. Immediately, a slightly transparent box appeared in his vision:
- Hoshino Ren
- SP: 139
- Body: 25 units
- Chakra: 50 units [Further upgrades possible with the use of SP.]
- 1-Tomoe Sharingan (G) [Further upgrades possible with the use of SP.]
- Close Combat Mastery (R)
- Safe Super Soldier Serum Injection (SR) (Inventory)
[The units for body and chakra measurement are as follows:]
[Genin 1-25; Chunin 25-100; Jonin 100-250; Kage 250-1000; Six-Paths 1000-???]
Looking at his numerical body measurements, Ren reflected on everything he had experienced on just the first day of school.
"Dang, it really seems like I'm some sort of wacky protagonist..." he muttered, his attention drawn to a line that glowed slightly brighter than the others.
"System, how do I remove the Serum Injector from the inventory?" he asked suddenly, unsure how to handle this strange situation.
[Notice: Admin, imagine taking something out of a backpack with your hand.]
Unimpressed, Ren extended his hand in front of him and thought about retrieving the injector from his system inventory.
The very next moment, a sleek metal tube materialized in front of him, landing in his palm.
Gripping the slightly cold object, Ren inspected it, turning it around and examining it from different angles.
"Honestly, this looks just like a stim pack from any futuristic game you'd find," he remarked.
Finally regaining his composure, Ren steeled his resolve and was about to inject the serum into his thigh.
"Wait, System, how do I use this exactly?" Ren asked, uncertain if he was doing the right thing.
[Notice: Admin, inject in an area with high blood flow, such as your inner thigh.]
Reading the notification, Ren's expression darkened.
"Well, frick," he muttered.
Inhaling deeply to prepare for the expected surge of pain, he pressed the end of the syringe against his skin and pushed the button on the other end with his thumb.
He felt a slight prick, likely from the needle entering his skin and muscle.
Ren waited a few minutes, eyes still closed and breathing evenly, but all he noticed was the syringe in his hand growing lighter.
Removing syringe from his skin, he looked at it.
Glass opening on the side of injector was now see through, indicating that liquid that it held was definetly was gone.
"System, did it not work, I almost didn't feel anything?" he couldn't help but ask.
While he saw how certain things worked in games or movies he watched in both lives, experiencing it himself was sure a first.
[Notice: Admin, the version of the Super Soldier Serum you just administered is Safe.]
[This means the effect is not instant. It is advised, Admin, to sleep for approximately 8 hours.]
"Thank god," Ren stood up, looked at now empty injector, he tried storing it back into inventory.
[Notice: Admin, by spending additionad 25 SP, you can obtain acces to store objects inside System inventory!]
Ren's face darkened, with furrowed brows and barely containing himself, asking for a manager.
"Do it..."
[Confirmed!]
[Remaining Balance: 114 SP.]
Seeing the now reduced balance, Ren tiredly exhaled, stored the Injector back into the system space, and headed back to sleep.

Next morning
Through a small opening in the blackout curtains in the bedroom, sunlight streaming from the window fell directly onto the sleeping face of Hoshino Ren.
Twitching and turning his face, Ren finally woke up.
Looking down beside him, he noticed that Sleeping Beauty was already gone and most probably down in the kitchen was preparing their breakfast.
Raising up, turning his body, and lowering his feet onto the floor, Ren sat up.
Shaking his head a little, making sure he more or less was not feeling as sleepy anymore.
After a couple of breaths, Ren pressed with his hands onto the bed and shifted his upper body forward, with the intention of standing up, well, at least that was the idea.
The sheer force that came out from that motion was enough to launch him off the bed and fall straight down on the floor.
BDUM
Lying down flat on the floor and looking up at the ceiling with the most confused face he probably ever made.
"Oh, right, the Serum, the sleep must have done wonders, huh?" he mused, while standing up from the floor and squeezing his fist a couple of times.
Standing before his bedroom mirror, wearing only his underwear, Ren stared at his reflection in the mirror.
"Okay, okay, what the actual f..."
In the reflection stood the same person, above average height, reaching 6 feet tall.
Except the same person now looked exactly like some fitness influencer who would tell all his viewers he was for sure natural and would never abuse any drugs.
Flexing his whole body, his physique transformed dramatically, biceps bulged, veins showing beneath his skin.
His chest expanded, revealing chiseled pectorals.
The ridges of his abs tightened, each segment standing out like a sculpted work of art.
His shoulders and traps rose, while his forearms moved in waves.
The insane muscularity of his body was undeniable, a testament to the superhuman changes coursing through him, clearly a Super physique...
Ren finally relaxed his body, just as he opened his wardrobe to get some clothing.
"Wait, system, show me my Status," he remembered the most important thing to confirm after his transformation.

After getting his vision cluttered with countless notifications, Ren dismissed all new boxes and directed his attention to his status.
"Okay, this is actually insane."
