I am the protagonist

Tsuna's extensive skills gave him too many advantages.

Because of his skills, Tsuna can now defeat a very strong person without even having to exert too much effort.

Of course, this doesn't mean that Tsuna himself is weak.

The main reason is that Tsuna's skills are just too terrifying.

Time-based skills are arguably the most versatile skill set.

In a static world, Tsuna's actions are completely illogical because his abilities are based on the laws of nature.

Can a normal person reason with the law?

This is probably because they think they don't deserve to die.

Time-based abilities are exceptionally powerful in both self-defense and combat, and it is precisely because of this exceptional power that Tsuna's strength cannot continue to improve significantly.

Tsuna's current strength, aside from some experience and his own intellect, is mostly built up from his skills.

This is actually not a good phenomenon.

The skills are too powerful, preventing my own strength from being as overpowered as them.

Once someone controls my time, I'll immediately be at a disadvantage.

Although I've been consciously trying to keep my abilities a secret, over time some people will still guess them.

Relying too much on time isn't good; I need to think of a solution.

However, Tsuna doesn't have any good solutions right now.

After all, he has now become a "skilled life".

Having strong enough skills can change your life.

However, this kind of dependency is not good.

Very bad!

Initially, acquiring a large number of skills greatly enhanced his strength, but once the number of skills decreased, or even if the skills reached a limit, his strength would be severely restricted.

【Hey……】

This is not a problem that can be solved in a short time.

I wish these skills could become an integral part of me, no longer confined to these panels.

However, this idea is just that—an idea.

Who knows if this idea can become a reality?

God knows how much it will cost to turn this idea into reality.

In short, just think about it for now, don't overthink it.

The reason we're not considering it now is because it's impossible.

However, it's still necessary to be careful in general.

As for the skill issue, Tsuna really has no way to deal with it.

After all, to become stronger, you need to acquire more skills.

So it will still evolve into a "skill-based life" situation, and Tsunayoshi is even unable to suppress it.

After all, becoming stronger is not an easy thing.

Besides one's own efforts, talent, and opportunities, some necessary conditions are also required.

For example, cheating.

In a world where even normal people cannot survive, is it possible to live without cheating?

Tsuna was absolutely certain that if he hadn't turned his skills into a way of life, he might not have survived by now.

Therefore, using cheats can be considered one of the necessary conditions at times.

Even in the future, we must maintain the mindset of "I'm proud of my cheat code".

After all, being able to cheat is a kind of personal advantage.

For now, I'll focus all my attention on those two skills.

Zero Breakthrough and Zero Breakthrough Modification are the two most important skills in Tsunayoshi's mind right now.

In fact, Tsunayoshi had studied these two skills in detail and even developed and explored them to a certain extent.

Zero Breakthrough has been upgraded to level 4, and it wasn't achieved by stacking SP points, but rather through training.

Since this is a skill-based life, the first step is to upgrade all skills to their maximum potential.

As for what happens next and what concerns we have, we should consider those once we have the necessary conditions.

Once Tsunayoshi understood what he needed to do, his shoulders felt much lighter.

In fact, Tsuna is much more cautious than you might imagine.

The reason for this is, of course, fear of death.

However, this is a normal reason. After all, everyone is afraid of death and no one wants to die. This has nothing to do with having the mindset that one is bound to die.

The fear of death stems from the worry that one will die.

Having the resolve to die means that even if you die, you cannot back down.

So now Tsunayoshi is prepared to die, but at the same time, he doesn't want to die because of certain things.

It was precisely because of his extreme caution that he was able to survive from the very beginning of his transmigration to the present day.

Otherwise, it's just the kind of situation we encounter in this world.

To put it bluntly, a slight misstep could lead to an abyss.

Therefore, he will make sufficient preparations whenever possible, and these preparations are all for dealing with unexpected situations.

"Idiot, are you still thinking about something?"

"...Yes, this confirms my training strategy and direction for the next stage."

"Still thinking about getting stronger?"

"Ah, I've gotten used to these habits lately, and it's hard to break them."

"And I can't change this habit."

Reborn actually understands Tsuna's thoughts; when you're in the dark, you need to be careful at all times.

"Well, it's okay to keep thinking about those things."

Reborn glanced at the books on the table.

"Has everything been taken care of over there?"

"Ah, it took a little time to find out some of the troublesome allies. Now it's up to Varia to deal with them."

Reborn picked up the book on the table, but his brow furrowed as soon as he opened the first page.

"The quantity is by no means small."

"Well, this explains how Vongola's past allies were indeed 'allies'."

"Whether we admit it or not, the Vongola has indeed begun to weaken."

Reborn did not answer the question but continued watching.

Indeed, quite a few families were mentioned by name.

Was what Varia dealt with only a small part of it before?

Of course, Reborn wasn't entirely without ideas for this situation.

After all, it's a dark world where everyone has their own interests, and naturally, some places will do dirty things behind the scenes because of those interests.

[There are many families like this that I can think of.]

But I never imagined there would be so many families like this.

It seems that Varia's workload is increasing significantly lately; it will likely take at least a year to process all of it.

"What about the other side of the wind?"

“I told him about it, but he seems to be the same kind of person as you.”

"After all, he is a martial artist, and he is different from others."

"Yes, so I also need his help, which can be considered as a final insurance policy for the Simon family... in the game we'll face later."

Chapter 237 Advice to the Lark

"Sawada Tsunayoshi, I've come to find you."

"...I can see it."

Hibari frowned as he looked at Sawada.

"You're the one who sent me."

"To be precise, it wasn't me who asked you to come... Well, it doesn't really matter."

Tsuna waved his hand, telling Hibari to find a place to sit down first.

"Sit down first."

“I know you’re more of a practical person than a theorist, but even Sasagawa tries to understand his own power before training. You should also listen to what he has to say about the power he possesses now.”

Is this guy insulting me?

Although she felt those words were a bit strange, Hibari still sat down.

"Dino, you should have already told you some basic facts about the Death Flame, right?"

The lark nodded.

Although he was very reluctant to call that guy "master," it was indeed Dino who taught him how to use the Death Flame during that period, and it was Dino who told him about the function of those powers.

"The ability of Cloud Flame is proliferation, which is the greatest ability of your Death Flame. All your battles need to be based on this ability."

"But you've overlooked one point: besides multiplying, your Death Flame can also devour large amounts of Death Flames of other attributes."

"This is also one of your methods."

"And this is an ability that you haven't noticed yet."

[Something I didn't notice...]

In that case, Hibari did realize that his understanding of power was somewhat lacking. His Death Flame possessed the ability to devour flames of other attributes, something he hadn't yet considered.

"Even so, my Death Flame can devour flames of other attributes, unlike yours which has developed a method to absorb flames."

"Yes, you really can't do that. In fact, among the seven attributes of the sky, only the Great Void can openly absorb the flames of others to strengthen itself."

"This is also because everyone's death flame has a completely different fluctuation. People without this fluctuation cannot be compatible with different fluctuations. So, apart from those who possess the Great Void and can be compatible with other attributes, other attributes cannot directly absorb other flames."

"It's just that your absorption method is different from my zero-point breakthrough."

Since Tsunayoshi was able to say it, the two are obviously two completely different concepts.

"Your Cloud Flame is a more forceful act of intrusion."

"It's like your Cloud Flame is a virus, and this virus can invade other flames and forcibly devour them."

"And this virus is like a characteristic of the Cloud Flame."

"It splits itself in large numbers to devour everything around it."

"So your Cloud Flame doesn't simply absorb other flames to strengthen itself; rather, it's like a virus forcibly invading other flames."

"Your flames are not absorbing, but devouring other alien species, making other forces nourish your flames."

"Therefore, you need to have a certain concept of the power you have. Only when you have this concept can you start to strengthen yourself based on this concept."

The terms "invasion" and "virus" are somewhat new, and this is the first time Yun Que has heard them.

But he could understand this explanation.

This is similar to his self-proclaimed "survival of the fittest" mentality.

Very straightforward.
