436 I have a Kapok tree bark wooden sword… (2/2)

The large eagle was struck dizzy by this blow. If this could be represented in a manga style, its eyes would be little x's with stars twirling around its head.

Seiji continued rushing at the eagle and jumped onto its back to furiously slice down with his wooden sword in a continuous flurry of blows. Finally, he swung his sword in a wide arc and used [Ice Calamity Blade] for the second time!

*Shriek!!!*

The green-scaled black eagle wailed in terror as it continually received several serious injuries.

It forcefully waved its sharp claws and forced Seiji back, then immediately turned around and escaped, flying off into the sky without even looking behind it.

'Beautiful!'

Seiji didn't expect things to go so smoothly as he praised himself.

Now, he just had to deal with the black mist barrier.

He didn't have a convenient landmine-like item like the previous three Spiritual Ability users. He could only break through using brute force.

*Slice slice slice slice slice…* He broke through!

Finally, he climbed the tree and picked all the silver fruits, ignoring any fruits that were of a different color.

There were more silver fruits than he expected! He was able to fill almost his entire backpack.

'Alright, I'm done here, time to go!'

Seiji speedily left this area.

Later, when the three fully-equipped Spiritual Ability users arrived in this area, all they saw was a large tree that had nothing but ordinary red fruits left…

Seiji felt an immense feeling of victory and satisfaction as he left the Spirit World and returned home with a heavy backpack.

”Brother…” Shika greeted him upon his return.

”I've returned. Were you waiting for me?”

Shika nodded.

Seiji felt a warmth in his heart from this as he reached out and patted Shika on the head.

”Take a look, this is what I've gained.” He showed her the silver fruits in his backpack. ”I didn't expect that I would be able to gain something so good on my very first try… I suppose it's beginner's luck.”

”Brother is amazing,” Shika told him with great sincerity.

When being praised by his adopted younger sister like this, Seiji almost wanted to pretentiously shout out ”It's because I'm the one chosen by the heavens!”

'Calm down, I should stop getting so overly excited.'

Still, he'd never expected to gain so much on his very first try!

With so many silver fruits, would they help increase his Spiritual Power and Mana to the level required for the [Yin-Yang Seal] to become a Yin-Yang Master?

He hoped so. He decided to eat one right now… wait a moment, was there a special method that he needed to eat these in order to benefit?

After all, they were a precious resource. To be on the safe side, Seiji immediately sent Hana a message asking her if she was around.

”It's so late at night. What do you want?”

”I found some silver fruits, and wanted to ask how I'm supposed to eat them.”

”What?” The cat-eared hat girl was astonished to hear this.

She was even more astonished after she finished listening to his abridged version of what happened.

”You went to a Spirit World just like this… didn't you say that you would think things over?”

”Yeah, I finished thinking things over, and simply went.”

”Don't say it like you were deciding which supermarket sale to attend! These are Spirit Worlds we're talking about!!”

”I did my best to make some serious preparations.”

”You, just what preparations can you even make!? Tell me beforehand, bastard!!”

”Ah, could it be that you wanted to help me prepare something like equipment?”

”Of course, idiot! You don't even have much of a weapon, and dared to go to a Spirit World! How foolish are you!?”

”I have a Kapok tree bark wooden sword…”

”What the hell good will a wooden sword do you!!” Hana retorted forcefully.

”Don't say that, it was quite useful. I used it to defeat a Spirit World Creature that was as large as a house,” Seiji told her proudly.

”It's amazing enough that you even survived to tell the tale, using only a wooden sword to fight against such a creature, you idiot!!!”

Hana's loud shouting was almost at the level of breaking her microphone.

She'd never expected that he was such an unimaginable idiot.

With only a wooden sword as his Spiritual Weapon, he dared to go adventure in a Spirit World? That was on a completely out of the world level of idiocy!

However, he lived and returned.

Not only did he survive, it seemed that he wasn't even injured, and even brought back the most valuable resource with him that he could obtain in a Spirit World… Was this so-called fool's luck?

'That's not right!!'
