Dinner time.
Shika Kagura was sitting on a chair reading a manga when he heard someone knocking on the door.
"Please come in."
The person who entered wasn't the maid he expected, but rather a handsome boy.
"Little Shi, I've come to eat together with you." Seiji smiled.
Shika Kagura was surprised for a moment before he slowly smiled.
"Thank you …"
"There's no need to thank me. I just wanted to eat together with you."
Seiji walked over to the table with two plates and placed them on the table.
"I … haven't eaten together with anyone in a long time," she said in a soft voice.
Seiji paused in his actions.
"That's why … thank you," Shika Kagura said while looking at him.
Seiji turned around and reached out to pat her on the head.
"I've received your thanks, but don't say that again from now on.
We'll be eating together many times in the future. "
Seiji retracted his hand after patting her twice and smiled gently.
"Yeah …" Shika Kagura nodded slightly as something flashed in his eyes.
The food on the two plates gave off an alluring aroma.
The two of them sat diagonally across from each other and began eating.
Seiji watched her as he ate.
Shika Kagura ate in small bites, giving off the impression that he was a small animal.
Noticing that he was looking at her, she also looked over and met his gaze. She blinked.
'So cute …'
Seiji couldn't help but recall how she ate while she was suffering from amnesia. She also ate in small bites, but she ate rather quickly, and her eyes sparkled.
Comparing the two, which was cuter?
Both were cute!
* Ding! * His sis-con rating increased by 5.
He felt as if he could hear such a notification.
"Brother Seiji, what's the matter?"
"Nothing … I just think that you're really cute when you eat."
Shika Kagura's face reddened slightly upon hearing this.
"Brother Seiji … you're also really handsome when you eat."
Seiji was rendered speechless.
F * ck, I suddenly feel so embarrassed!
Why would he feel an inexplicable sense of shame when he received this kind of praise!?
When he said that, he clearly felt that it was just a normal sigh … Could it be that these words were actually so shameful?
Seiji's face also turned slightly red.
Shika Kagura stared at him.
Seiji couldn't take it anymore and looked away.
Shika Kagura continued to stare at him.
"Look … Why do you keep looking at me? Let's eat, let's eat! "Seiji was a little flustered and lowered his head to eat.
The corner of Shika Kagura's mouth curled up slightly. He finally withdrew his gaze and lowered his head to eat.
After a moment of silence.
"Little Shi, I want to ask …" Seiji started the conversation. "Do you know how to improve your Reiki?"
Shika Kagura paused for a moment.
"I know … Why do you ask?"
"Is there a need to ask? Of course, it's because I want to improve my Reiki and become a Yin Yang Master, "Seiji stated calmly.
'I'll become stronger!' That was what he told her.
Shika Kagura blinked in surprise.
'That's right.
He … he's already working hard. '
"The most basic and common method to improve your Reiki is' Visualization, '" Shika Kagura told him in a soft voice.
'Visualization!' 'Excellent, he got to the point just like that.'
"What's this' Visualization '?"
"Basically, it's about viewing and imagining … Viewing a 'Spirit Image,' imagining yourself in the image and experiencing it with all your heart and soul."
"What's a 'Spirit Image'?"
"It's a portrait drawn using Reiki. Some are used to cultivate Reiki, some are used to cast spells, and some are used to set up spell formations …"
"'Visualization' must be used to cultivate Reiki, right? Do you have one?"
"Yes, I only have one … it's expensive."
"Oh …" Seiji took another bite of his food.
An expensive cultivation tool … it was obvious that Shika Kagura didn't have one with him.
"I was thinking that I could borrow one from President Wanhua and try cultivating it … Er, will using a 'Spirit Image' cause it to wear out?"
"No, a 'Spirit Image' only has a time limit, and it won't wear out." Shika Kagura shook her head.
"So you mean that it doesn't matter if you use it or not; it'll lose its effect when the time is up?"
"Yes."
"Then I won't feel any pressure borrowing it." Seiji shoved some rice into his mouth and took two bites.
"Right, there's also Mana … by the way, what's the difference between Reiki and Mana? I only know that becoming a Yin Yang Master requires Reiki … "
Shika Kagura revealed a contemplative expression.
"Reiki is like a bowl."
After some consideration, she pointed at the ceramic bowl in front of her.
"And psionic power is like rice."
If you want to fill your bowl with rice, you'll need a bowl … The bigger the bowl, the more rice it can fill, but the amount of rice is different for everyone.
"For the same bowl, some people will fill more rice, while others will fill less.
"A smaller bowl will fill more rice, and if the bowl is high enough, it'll be able to fill more rice than someone with a larger bowl who doesn't fill more rice …
"In normal situations, the bowl is big and has more rice. The bowl is small and has less rice. "
Seiji quietly listened to this analogy.
It wasn't difficult to understand. At the very least, he felt like he understood it.
Reiki was the equivalent of a container for energy, while Mana was a type of energy. The container determined the maximum amount of energy that could be stored, but not everyone could reach this limit. There would be situations where people had strong Reiki but low Mana.
But generally speaking, the stronger the Reiki, the higher the amount of Mana.
"Casting spells and so on will consume rice … whoops, Mana, right? And Reiki won't be consumed … and the stronger the Reiki, the faster the Mana will recover. Is that right? "Seiji guessed.
Shika Kagura nodded.
Seiji's guess was correct. This proved that his general understanding of Reiki was correct.
"Reiki is the foundation, so it needs to be improved first. Mana also needs to be improved … in that case, what's the best way to improve Mana?"
"Wear the 'Reiki Attire' and perform the 'stance.'"
Yep, Seiji heard another term that he wanted to know.
"'Reiki Attire.' The name sounds easy to understand. It's a special attire for cultivating Mana, isn't it?"
Shika Kagura nodded again.
"It's similar to a Spirit Image, and it's also very expensive?"
She nodded again.
"Will there be any losses when using it?"
She nodded again and again.
"If that's the case, there'll be some pressure when borrowing it." Seiji rubbed his chin in contemplation.
"In that case, what's the 'stance'?"
"It's … the combination of movement, breathing, 'song,' and mental energy."
After Shika Kagura finished speaking, she thought about it for a moment before putting down her chopsticks and standing up.
"It's hard to describe … I'll show you."
She moved some distance away from the table and stood up straight. She extended her hands in front of her, palms facing up, and closed her eyes.
Seiji instantly felt that the atmosphere had changed.
It was as if something invisible was gathering around him.
Was it … the Mana in the environment?
Just as he was thinking this, he saw her begin to move.
Her hands moved about, making movements that seemed gentle but felt steady … it was similar to Taiji Fist.
"Yi —" A melodious syllable came out of her mouth.
"La — So — La — Yo …"
Seiji couldn't tell what it meant. She simply sang some syllables that were connected together in a slightly undulating tone.
When combined with her hands' movements, it seemed as if she was performing a ritual.
Then, her feet began to move as well.
Her steps were light, yet also steady, as if she was performing some sort of dance.
Her hands moved about, her feet danced, and she sang mysterious syllables. It was as if she was performing a special dance, or practicing kung fu.
The atmosphere of the invisible thing gathering became even stronger.
Shika Kagura was at the center.
Seiji gradually became fascinated as he watched her.
'So beautiful …'
It wasn't a dance, but it seemed even better than a dance … Watching such a beautiful girl perform in such a mysterious manner was a form of enjoyment!
Finally, Shika Kagura stopped in her tracks and drew a circle with her hands. She exhaled lightly, inhaled, and then calmed down.
She opened her eyes and looked towards Seiji.
What he saw was that the other party was smiling and clapping his hands.
"So this is the 'stance' … it looks beautiful when you do it, Little Shi!" Seiji praised her sincerely.
Shika Kagura's face reddened once more upon hearing this.
