150 Visualization (2/2)

Seiji was rendered speechless upon hearing this.

He had been under the impression that it was the work of magical spells! But in the end it was just high-tech science!? This didn’t seem to match the style!

He looked towards the watercolor painting once more after finishing his stream of mental comments.

”Who’s the person in the painting?”

”I don’t know; he’s just a Yin Yang Master.” Mai blinked at this. ”If you must insist, he might be... it could be that he’s your ancestor, the legendarily strong one.”

”Oh...” Seiji nodded reflexively. Suddenly, he noticed that something seemed to be off.

”Wait a moment! Could it be… do people not know what Seimei Kamijou looks like?”

”Hmm? You didn’t know about that fact?” Mai asked in return. ”Nobody actually knows the true appearance of that famous person.”

Seiji was stunned upon hearing this.

”Wait a moment! So, Senpai, you mean to say... the physical appearance of the strongest Yin Yang Master in history, Seimei Kamijou, hasn’t been passed down the ages? Does even the Haruta family not know what he looked like?”

”Indeed, not a single person knows what he truly looked like,” Mai told him in a serious tone. ”Most people, including the ordinary citizens that have heard of his legends, imagine him as one of the most handsome men to have ever existed, but all this is a mere fantasy.

”There’s not a single credible report of his physical appearance left in any record, and there are many contradictions in the writings about his physical appearance, so there’s no way whatsoever to ascertain the truth.

”That’s why there are also legends stating that Seimei Kamijou had already surpassed human form, and could take any appearance that he wished. Some even believed that perhaps Seimei Kamijou was actually a woman... or that he was born a girl at birth and then turned into a man... and so on.”

Seiji was absolutely speechless.

The greatest Yin Yang Master in history, acknowledged by everyone... Nobody actually knew what he looked like!?

And not even his gender was certain... What the hell!!

Seiji had a mental coughing fit and forced himself to calm down.

Upon thinking it over more deeply, it wasn’t that difficult to accept. After all, he lived so long ago that it wasn’t really strange that people today didn’t know what he looked like, regardless of how famous he was.

The ancient times in this world couldn’t compare to modern society. People back then didn’t have cameras and cell phones.

Seiji could accept this after he considered it, but he still felt something about the whole situation was strange.

‘Perhaps it’s just a mistake of my intuition. I should stop thinking about it.’

”May I... begin now?” he asked Mai.

”Please go ahead as you wish.”

”Is there a chair?”

Mai walked over to a certain location and stepped on it three times, causing a luxurious sofa to rise out from within the floor.

A motion-sensing detector plus an automatic lift? How high-class.

”Thank you.” Seiji relaxed on the sofa while staring at the drawing.

Mai watched him from the side.

”Senpai...”

‘I’ll feel rather awkward if you watch me in the process,’ Seiji said with his eyes.

”I need to take care of you and wake you up if something goes wrong.”

”Oh... Okay then,” Seiji relented.

Seiji decided to ignore her presence as he stared at the painting in front of him once more and opened his system.

He selected [Spiritual Abilities], chose [Spiritual Power Increase], before he finally clicked on [Visualization]!

He instantly felt everything around him becoming distant, and even Mai’s figure became hazy.

The watercolor painting seemed to magnify endlessly as the pictures on it appeared to draw closer to him. They became even more vivid, realistic, and living... until the drawing finally crashed into him.
