507 You are a good person (1/2)
Seiji returned back to his apartment after he took Miyabi Ishihara to her home.
He took a bath and soaked away all his fatigue in the hot water, breathing a huge sigh of relief.
He then opened up his system and inspected his rewards.
[You have been successfully taught the spells [Soul World – Interdimensional Locator Spell] and [Soul World – Portal to Reality]!]
[You have received Adnan the Avenger's sincere gratitude, and a special reward to go along with it!]
Two new [Soul World] techniques… that was all due to the seal and the sword that the ”restaurant owner” had imbued with information for him.
Seiji's system's explanation about [Interdimensional Locator Spell] was that it could immediately determine the location of a specific person. The person he was attempting to locate would have to have a connectivity rating of over 70 to him. This spell would cost Mana, concentration, as well as Soul Energy. Its success rate depended on the circumstances.
Well, this spell was just like its description, a spell that could find someone. It could only be used to locate his close friends as it required a connectivity rating of over 70 to him. Not to mention, the system said that the success rate wasn't even one hundred percent… it seemed like a weak spell, but if any similar incident to the previous one ever occurred, it could be really useful in locating a missing friend.
[Portal to Reality] was another spell that was exactly like the name. This was a spell that would be able to open a portal back to the real world—no matter where he currently was. Some conditions needed to be met for this spell beforehand, and this spell also cost Mana, concentration, as well as Soul Energy. Its success rate also depended on the circumstances.
Both of these spells were obviously limited in use to extremely specific circumstances. However, they could be incredibly useful in those exact circumstances.
Seiji was truly grateful to the ”restaurant owner” that ”taught” these spells to him.
He then checked to see what reward he obtained due to Adnan's gratitude. He saw in his system that...
He now had seven [Spirit Form Summoning Cards]!?
Seiji widened his eyes in surprise.
That's right, seven—an astonishing seven in total!
These seven cards could respectively summon an ice dragon, a magic mecha, a Sengoku warrior girl, an armored knight, a beastman warrior, an elven archer, and a magic crossbow-wielding soldier, all characters from what Seiji faced in Rinura's world of illusions… If Seiji used all seven cards at once, it would basically create a multi-species mini-army!!
Should he say that it was to be expected of a prince? Having such munificent rewards.
Still, he figured that they would be able to give Akatsuki a huge amount of trouble. Perhaps they could be highly effective if he used his opportunity well.
The next morning saw a light blanket of snow outside.
Seiji received a phone call from Miyabi and learned that she had indeed Awakened.
He ate some breakfast before leaving his apartment to head for a place that they agreed to meet at.
He arrived to see that his senpai was holding an umbrella to block the snow while standing at the roadside, silently observing the falling snow.
She wasn't wearing her eyeglasses. Her long hair was in a braid, and she was wearing a scarf. Her bangs were held up by a hairclip, and her beautiful expression had a slightly melancholic expression. It really made her seem like a literary girl.
'Could it be that she Awakened to an ability that allows her to eat books?' Seiji couldn't help but have such a thought. However, he immediately buried it in the back of his mind.
”Good morning, Ishihara-senpai,” he greeted her.
”Good morning, Harano-san.” Miyabi stopped watching the falling snow and greeted him back.
She saw that Seiji didn't have an umbrella with him, so Miyabi raised her umbrella higher to block the snow for him as well.
”Thank you… How about letting me hold the umbrella?” Seiji reached out his hand.
Something flashed in Miyabi's eyes as she silently gave him the umbrella without saying anything.
Seiji held the umbrella for her as they walked towards Genhana High School together. He asked her in a whisper what ability she Awakened to.
Miyabi didn't reply. However, a pair of fox ears suddenly grew on the top of her head, which immediately disappeared again once she saw that Seiji had noticed.
”You can change into the same form as what you used last night?” Seiji inquired.
Miyabi nodded.
”What about your power? Is it also similar to last night?”
Miyabi shook her head.
The form was the same, but the power level was somewhat lower… Seiji had a rough understanding now.
He didn't ask anything else. Instead, he began telling her about what the Awakened needed to watch out for.
Miyabi silently listened to his explanation.
The tall and handsome muscular youth walking together down the snowy street with a beautiful and quiet literary girl, sharing the same umbrella, with him whispering to her and her attentively listening, seemed like a beautiful and poetic scene that attracted many bystanders' attention.
