I created a foundation

Hayasaka Ai whispered beside her, "Please relax, Ms. Chitanda. I'm just entering basic information."

A soft blue light swept across Chitanda's eyes, followed by a voice prompting her to read out a randomly generated text.

Finally, a tiny probe extended from the device, gently pricked her white finger, and collected a tiny drop of blood.

"Identity confirmed: Chitanda Eru. Temporary visitor privileges granted. Guide: Director Shinomiya Kaguya."

After the cold electronic sound ended, the heavy alloy door slid silently open to both sides, revealing a world completely different from the outside world.

It was an extremely huge, brightly lit underground space.

The air was filled with the smell of sweat, disinfectant, and the slight heat from the friction of some metal.

From a distance came uniform shouts and the dull sound of equipment colliding.

Rows of men and women in uniform training suits are performing high-intensity training on various exotic equipment.

Their movements were swift and powerful, their eyes were focused and determined, and each of them exuded a powerful aura far beyond that of ordinary people.

Chitanda Eru was completely stunned.

She opened her mouth, and her eyes, which always sparkled with curiosity, were now filled with incredible shock.

Where exactly is this place?

Kaguya looked at Chitanda's dazed expression and a smile with a hint of mischief appeared on her face, as if her plan had succeeded.

She walked up to Chitanda and said softly in a declarative tone:

"Welcome to the SCP Foundation, the new recruits' joint training camp."

"From today on, you are a...reserve student here, Chitanda-san."

Chitanda turned her head sharply and looked at Kaguya, her lips trembling slightly, as if she wanted to say something.

Chapter 108: Ninja and Haki

In the training ground as spacious as a small gymnasium, Chitanda Eru's amber eyes widened slightly, reflecting everything incredible before her.

The air was thick with sweat, metal, and a faint, indescribable energy.

The training ground was invisibly divided into several areas, each performing completely different plays.

In the left area, dozens of young people wearing the same uniform training clothes as her sat cross-legged.

A tall, pretty blonde woman named Tifa was explaining something.

Hayato Hayama was also among them. He had a frown on his face, his hands clumsily changing complicated hand seals, and beads of sweat oozed from his forehead.

Some people would occasionally emit faint, almost invisible light blue energy fluctuations, which would then quickly dissipate, accompanied by low cries of frustration.

【Chakra extraction technique】

【Three Body Technique】.

These unfamiliar words were forcefully instilled into her consciousness a few hours ago by an elegant woman named Kaguya Shinomiya in an unquestionable tone, accompanied by a large amount of jaw-dropping video footage.

The area on the right is a completely different scene.

Eriri with her blonde twintails and the icy beauty Yukinoshita Yukino had their eyes tightly covered with black cloth.

22 Their figures shuttled between dozens of training robots that fired rubber bullets at high speed, like two of the most nimble swallows.

The strong wind caused by the rubber bullets brushed against the ends of their hair and the corners of their clothes, but none of them hit.

【Observation Haki】.

This is what Kaguya calls this incredible perception ability.

Further away, in the corner of the training ground.

Busujima Saeko, wearing a black kendo uniform, held an ordinary wooden sword. Every time she swung it, the surface of the sword would be covered with a dark and deep black luster like steel.

"Qiang!"

The wooden sword chopped on the special superalloy target, making a sharp sound of metal clashing and leaving a clearly visible deep cut.

【Armament Haki】.

Chitanda Eru felt her heart beating wildly and uncontrollably in her chest.

The three-hour "World Truth Popularization Course" was like the most violent storm, completely shattering the common sense and worldview she had built up over the past decade, and then brutally reshaped it in a more grand and bizarre way.

She expected to feel terrified, or at least confused.

However, no.

When the initial shock receded like a tide, an indescribable, almost trembling sense of excitement rose from the deepest part of her heart.

Her purple eyes, which always sparkled with inquiry, were now surprisingly bright.

Countless "whys" grew wildly in her mind like mushrooms after rain, each one pointing to a wider and more mysterious unknown area.

For her, this place is simply a temple of knowledge and the ultimate destination of curiosity.

"So, newcomer Chitanda Eru, are you ready?"

Tifa's voice interrupted her observation.

Chitanda took a deep breath and bowed deeply to Tifa.

"Yes, instructor, I'm ready."

Chakra extraction training officially begins.

Tifa used clear and concise language to explain the principle of extracting energy from body cells and then controlling it through mental power.

"...Imagine your body as a universe, each cell as a star, and chakra as the galaxy connecting these stars..."

Most newcomers are confused and can only try to meditate by imitating others and feel the illusory "energy".

Hayato Hayama gritted his teeth, his expression changing several times, but he still couldn't clearly sense the flow that Tifa was talking about.

Some newcomers even had to stop and rest temporarily because their faces turned pale due to excessive mental exhaustion.

Chitanda Eru closed her eyes.

Her breathing was steady and long, as if she was lost in deep thought.

She didn't try to "feel" it immediately like others did, but instead replayed, dissected, and analyzed every word and detail Tifa said in her mind.

Her extraordinary observation skills and extreme insight into details were brought to the extreme at this moment.

She noticed that Tifa's fingertips trembled slightly unconsciously while she was explaining, and the frequency of the trembling seemed to be in tune with some inner rhythm.

She recalled the images Kaguya had shown, in which those called "ninjas" seemed to have a subtle energy tide in their bodies before releasing powerful abilities.

After a moment, she opened her eyes, looked at Tifa, and asked her first question.

"Instructor, when you say mental control, do you mean the strength of will or the focus of the mind? Do the two have different weights when it comes to extracting chakra?"

Tifa raised an eyebrow and looked at her in surprise.

This question doesn't seem like something a beginner would ask.

"Good question. The strength of your will determines the upper limit of your chakra, while your concentration determines the efficiency of your extraction and manipulation. In the early stages, concentration is more important."

Chitanda nodded and closed her eyes again.

This time, she started trying.

She concentrated her mind highly, and guided her consciousness into her body according to the method described by Tifa.

Time passed by minute by minute.

Inside the training ground, from time to time, one could hear the frustrated sighs of newcomers or the slight explosions of chakra when it went out of control.

Suddenly, Tifa's gaze turned to Chitanda again.

She saw that the quiet girl's cross-legged sitting posture had not changed at all, but there was an indescribable concentration and calmness between her brows.

In Chitanda's perception, her body seemed to have really turned into a dark universe.

Countless tiny points of light flickered in the darkness, representing every cell in her body.

She carefully used her mental power to touch these light spots, trying to connect them.

At first, these spots of light were like a school of frightened fish, scattering and fleeing at the slightest touch.

But Chitanda was not discouraged.

Her curiosity drove her to try again and again with an almost paranoid patience.

She wondered what it would look like when these "stars" were connected.

I don’t know how long it took, maybe ten minutes, maybe half an hour.

When she once again concentrated her mental power into a beam and gently covered those spots of light.

A miracle happened.

Those light spots no longer dodged, but instead seemed to have found a home and actively integrated into her mental power.

A faint but clear warm current surged out from deep within her cells, gathered, and then slowly flowed along the path guided by her mental power.

This warmth was completely different from any physical energy she had felt before.

It is full of life and possibilities.

【Chakra】.

Chitanda Eru slowly opened her eyes, and a hint of newborn, bright light flashed in her purple eyes.

She 897 spread out her right hand, with her fair and slender fingers slightly curled.

Then, she concentrated her mind and tried to guide the warmth in her body to her fingertips.

The training ground was still noisy, and Ye Shan and others were still worried about how to sense chakra.

Tifa was instructing a newbie who made a mistake in the hand seals.

No one noticed Chitanda in the corner.

A light blue, as soft as the morning light, quietly emerged at Chitanda's fingertips.
