439 You were quite vicious at that time (2/2)
Seiji nodded in understanding.
”Understood. Leave it to me.”
If the other Awakened at school weren't warned, perhaps someone would cause an incident, which would be bad for Natsuya as she'd already reported to her family that there were no more Awakened at Genhana High School.
Due to Natsuya's personal circumstances, it wasn't convenient for her to find the Awakened. In other words, Seiji would be unable to rely on her for anything, including receiving assistance from Hitaka or Rana. He could only rely on himself.
Seiji's first idea was to use [Astral Vision] to inspect every single student at school.
However, he felt that this was low in effectiveness. Besides, his [Astral Vision] level was still low, and might not be able to identify the Awakened.
His next idea was to ask his friends for assistance.
Mika, Chiaki, Hoshi, Rion and Kotomi, Yukari, and Kaede all readily agreed to help him with this. They promised to tell him immediately if they saw anything seemingly mystical about any other student.
After school, Seiji received a phone call from Hisashi inviting him to come over to visit the Juumonji Mafia Group.
A car came over to pick him up. When Seiji arrived at the Juumonji residence, he saw that two people were waiting him in the main hall. Of course, one was Hisashi, while the other was...
”Heya, long time no see,” the red-haired man with bushy eyebrows greeted him.
Zankita Juumonji, Hisashi and Kaede's older brother.
Seiji had only met him once before, when he had been invited to visit the Juumonji Group for the first time.
At that time, this guy had rushed at him and attacked him unprovoked, so Seiji had been forced to defend himself and ended up injuring Zankita to the point of hospitalization.
”Long time no see. Have you recovered from your injuries?”
”I recovered long ago. You were quite vicious at that time, but I like it that way!” Zankita gave him a big thumbs-up.
Seiji looked towards Hisashi for an explanation.
”He's just an idiot like that. Bear with him.” Hisashi poured some tea for Seiji.
”Hey!” Zankita expressed his dissatisfaction.
Seiji's cheeks twitched at this.
The eldest son of the Juumonji Family seemed like a coarse guy, but Seiji found himself surprisingly unable to dislike him.
”What's the matter, asking me to come all the way here?” Seiji directly asked what was going on.
”Big Bro Zankita, show him.”
At Hisashi's indication, Zankita raised his hand and caused a blue flame to appear on his palm!
Seiji was rather astonished to see this.
This was an ability… that could be seen by everyone with the naked eye!?
Seiji immediately cast [Astral Vision]. He saw that the blue flame on Zankita's hand now appeared even brighter while Zankita's arm seemed to be glowing with a mystical light, which seemed rather imposing.
Yukari's spiderweb threads and Hoshi's red birds were only visible when using [Astral Vision]. However, this blue flame was directly visible to the naked eye. Was it because it was more powerful?
Wait a moment… Red hair and blue flames? Seiji suddenly recalled a famous character from a well-known fighting game from his world!
That fighting game had given him many fond childhood memories. Not to mention, this particular character was one of the most popular characters from that game and had a really cool ultimate technique. Seiji always felt a thrill from using the ultimate technique successfully and even memorized that character's catch phrase while using it, which was…
”Zankita had a strange dream about fighting with a Tengu. After he woke up, he possessed this ability,” Hisashi told Seiji. ”Do you know anything about this?”
Seiji regained his senses as his daydreaming was interrupted.
”Yes.” He nodded and explained about the Awakened.
Hisashi fell silent after learning about the Awakened at the current situation for the Awakened as viewed by the mystical society.
”Big Bro Zankita, you can only use this power of yours at home. Don't use it outside,” Hisashi cautioned his older brother.
”Why's that?”
”Didn't you hear what Seigo said just now?”
