Magic-devouring Dragon … the evolved version of Destroyer of Clubs!?
Was it even possible to change classes like that!?
Seiji's eyebrows twitched as a strange expression appeared on his face.
Seeing this, Mai couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh.
"Senpai, how did you know about this?"
"I heard from a friend that you're famous even among the third years. After all, what you did … was truly astonishing."
Seiji was rendered speechless.
"You defeated all the karate club members by yourself, trampled over their corpses, and subdued the 'twin witches.' You showed no mercy to the crying twin beauties and completely devoured them like a greedy evil dragon …"
"Wait! Wait!! "
Seiji was astonished.
"Isn't this rumor a bit too exaggerated? I didn't defeat all of them! What's with 'trampled over their corpses!? And what the hell is' completely devoured '!? Why the hell am I being treated as an incredible villain!? "
'It's the old-fashioned type.'
"You didn't deny the fact that you showed no mercy to the crying twin beauties." Mai's sharp senses detected this.
"Oh! That's … for a reason! "Seiji received an impact.
"At any rate, I'm not a villain. Everything I do has a reason! This rumor is complete nonsense! "
"No, Junior, the rumor isn't nonsense; I was just making it up ~"
"Senpai!!"
Mai couldn't stop laughing.
Seiji's cheeks twitched slightly as he looked at her.
"Senpai, aren't you also … the 'Smiling Executioner' or something?"
"Er …" Mai's expression froze over.
'Oh, there's a chance! So she cares about this! '
Seiji found an opportunity to counterattack.
"Oh my, I was so shocked when my friend told me about it. Houjou-senpai, who seems so gentle and kind, actually has such a scary nickname ~"
Seiji pretended to be gossipy as he spoke in an exaggerated tone.
Mai's mouth twitched slightly.
"I heard that she did something really scary last year, so scary that no one in the third year is willing to talk about it anymore. It's like a tragedy that no one even dares to think about."
Mai's eyebrows twitched slightly.
"Junior Brother …"
"My friend told me that she's not afraid of anything in the world. She's the legendary president who even won a duel against the morals and discipline committee. Even she solemnly declared that the only person she's truly afraid of at school is Houjou-senpai! The reason was because of the magnificent feat that Senior Sister had once done. What exactly was it? I'm actually quite curious ~ "
Seiji became more and more enthusiastic as he spoke.
"Junior Brother …" A cold and gloomy voice sounded beside him.
"Senpai, you …" Seiji turned around and instantly stopped himself from saying anything.
She had a smile on her face, but her entire body was emitting a sinister and cold aura, as if she was a maid from hell.
"Do you want to die once?" she asked with incomparable gentleness.
Seiji: "…"
Don't steal Hellgirl's lines!
Cold sweat trickled down his back as he complained.
A few seconds of silence.
"Uh … ahem, sorry, I don't want to." Seiji restrained his exaggerated expression and tone.
"Then shut up." Mai smiled gently.
"Yes …"
The atmosphere became rather awkward.
Seiji walked to the second floor and headed towards his own room.
"Junior Haruta."
"Er, is there something else, Houjou-senpai?"
"If there's anything you need help with, or something you want, just tell me." Mai smiled faintly.
"Although I might not be able to help you with anything, I'll help you as much as I can as a maid."
Seiji widened his eyes in surprise.
Then, he smiled from the bottom of his heart.
"I'm truly grateful to you." 'I've received your kind intentions.'
He thanked the other party sincerely.
Mai blinked at this before she continued walking away, about to leave.
Seiji suddenly thought of something as he watched her leave.
"Right, Senpai, speaking of something you want …"
"Hmm?" Mai stopped and turned around.
"'Spirit Image …' You should know about it, right?" Seiji asked in a serious tone. "If there's one here, I'd like to borrow it. Is that alright?"
Mai fell silent for a moment.
"I know … there's one here as well," she said slowly after a while.
"You want to … cultivate Spiritual Power?"
Seiji nodded.
"I don't think that you're an ordinary person, but I also don't think that you're …" Mai observed him closely.
"Do you know how to cultivate Spiritual Power?"
"I do. It's' Visualization, 'right?"
"Yes, it's' Visualization, 'but' Visualization 'is also divided into different methods. Do you know how to do it?"
Seiji furrowed his eyebrows slightly.
He didn't know how to do it, but he had the system. As long as he obtained a Spirit Image and chose [Visualization] from the [Spiritual Power Increase] option, he should be able to do it.
"I … know."
"Your answer isn't very certain." Mai observed him intently.
"I do know … or should I say, I kind of know." Seiji answered honestly. "As long as I have a Spirit Image, I'll be able to cultivate … I'm absolutely certain of this."
Mai looked at his face for a long while.
"Cultivating spiritual power is not a simple or safe thing to do. If you try it rashly, it is actually very risky. Do you know that?"
"I don't know … but I believe that nothing will happen to me." With his system here, he didn't have to worry about anything.
"Just where does your confidence come from?"
"Senpai, didn't you just say that everyone has secrets?" Seiji smiled mysteriously.
"I'm starting to regret saying that." Mai sighed. "Right now, I really want to know what you're hiding."
Seiji continued smiling mysteriously.
The maid fell silent once again. After a few moments.
"A Spirit Image isn't something that I can give you … Put the contract in your room and follow me."
"Thank you!"
Seiji immediately returned to his room and placed the contract on the table before leaving again to follow Mai.
Mai took him to the first floor and opened the door to a room in the corner on the left.
There were some random items in the narrow room.
Seiji was confused, but he saw Mai walk to the right and press her palm against the wall. She said something in a low voice.
* Beep! * There was the sound of something being activated.
Then, Seiji saw the floorboard in the middle of the room move away, revealing a staircase leading downstairs.
"So … there's a basement here?"
He instantly felt like he was in a secret base!
"Go down." Mai indicated.
Seiji walked to the staircase and walked down.
As he walked deeper and deeper, the lanterns on both sides of the wall lit up with orange flames, illuminating the darkness.
At the bottom, there was a hallway.
The moment that Seiji turned into the hallway, all the lanterns in the hallway lit up, illuminating the spell formations and runes on the left side of the wall, as well as several heavy wooden doors on the right side.
Mai also walked down the stairs and walked past him towards the wooden door closest to the staircase.
Then, she pressed her hand against the door and said something in a low voice.
The wooden door silently opened.
Mai walked in.
Seiji followed her in.
When he entered, he saw … a forest!?
Seiji was stunned.
This was completely different from what he had imagined a secret room to be. He saw a forest. There were trees everywhere, and lanterns hung from the trees. There were also many light spots … and fireflies were flying everywhere!
His current location — after passing through the door — was a small clearing in the middle of the forest.
If he looked up, he would see the night sky and countless twinkling stars. There was a profound beauty to it.
The lanterns hanging from the trees all around him shone brightly, and the faint light of the fireflies reflected off each other, creating a tranquil atmosphere.
There were also bugs hiding somewhere that were making light noises.
All of this created a mystical atmosphere in this area.
Mai stood in the middle of the clearing.
In front of her was a stone pillar with a large ink painting hanging on it.
