171 Preparations (2/2)

Of course, they weren’t actually attempting to act cool by standing at the highest location; the real reason was so that they could observe their territory as clearly as possible. But it had to be said that standing on top of the fence and feeling the cool night breeze made Seiji feel as if he were truly a combat expert.

Well, compared to ordinary humans, he was already in the realm of the ‘mystical.’ Just the fact that he could stand on top of the wire mesh fence so steadily would be shocking to any ordinary human.

His attire was rather unusual as well.

He was mostly clad in gray; he wore a gray windbreaker, a tight-fitting gray T-shirt, and gray pants. Silver rune-inscribed pieces of armor were attached to his chest, shoulders, knees, and elbows. His outfit made him appear mysterious. He almost seemed like a cosplayer, but the exquisiteness and quality of his armor were many tiers above an ordinary costume.

Although it'd be rather embarrassing if he walked around on the street like this, it would definitely attract many eyes as well.

And the president beside him had far surpassed the level of attracting attention—she was likely to cause a traffic accident to happen if she appeared on the street!

Seiji was under the impression that Natsuya would wear the typical ”hunting clothes” of a Yin Yang Master, much like what he'd previously seen in the Spirit Image: a tall black hat and a white wide-sleeved robe.

But what Natsuya's attire left him reeling for several moments.

She was wearing form-fitting clothes!

Yes, that's right—form-fitting clothes! They were extremely tight clothes, just like Overbutt… whoops, clothes that certain female characters in Overwatch would wear—a short cape and a miniskirt with a slit in its side.

Natsuya’s body was truly excellent! Excellent! Excellent! Important things should be repeated three times.

In terms of figure, she was by far the best woman that Seiji had ever laid eyes on!

She was incredibly alluring even when she wore the Genhana High School's female uniform. It was only that her serious expression and stern aura made it difficult for people to think impure thoughts about her, which was why people tended to ignore her sexiness… er, her special charisma when interacting with her.

But ignoring didn’t equal forgetting.

It was impossible to forget.

Occasionally, Seiji would also realize that he was faced with an incredibly attractive lady. However, he had excellent self-control, so he usually wouldn’t think any strange thoughts.

But such an attractive beauty with an incredible figure appearing before him in form-fitting clothes was a huge blow to his sense of reason and self-control!

It was just like ocean water overwhelming a dam.

That was no joke! There was far too much destructive ability in Natsuya’s attire, to the point where Seiji instantly averted his gaze after regaining his senses and didn’t even dare to look at the details of her clothing, even though he was rather curious.

Natsuya’s form-fitting clothes had various runes and spells etched into them as well. They almost seemed like decorative patterns when viewed from afar.

As for her short cape and miniskirt… it was actually fortunate that she was slightly covered by those, otherwise her sexiness would break the scale! However, these articles of clothing were strangely beautiful as they flowed with the wind. The sight of the short cape and miniskirt flapping added to her allure in a different way.

Seiji believed wholeheartedly that if she went to a crowded place in her current attire, she would definitely cause a traffic accident!

‘You’re simply too much of a distraction, Natsuya.'

Natsuya didn’t know what Seiji was currently thinking, as she was focusing almost entirely on the impending duel.

Although she was confident of her chances, she was still somewhat nervous. An appropriate amount of nervousness, however, would assist her in utilizing her true abilities.

As for the boy beside her… Haruta-kun didn’t seem nervous at all.

'Perhaps,' she thought, 'it's because he's still an inexperienced beginner. Or is he simply confident in his own abilities?'

It seemed like she didn’t need to worry too much about him.

The inconceivable part was that even though Haruta-kun was a complete beginner, as well as a temporary Spirit-branded Retainer, just him standing by her side made her feel more reassured.

She felt like… no matter what happened, as long as he was by her side, she wouldn’t need to worry about anything.

‘Why do I feel like this?’

Natsuya didn’t understand.

This wasn’t the time for her to be thinking idle thoughts.
