It could only be a dream …
"Junior, how are you feeling?"
Yama... whoops, Mai Houjou appeared in front of him.
"I had a really long and strange dream, and I'm a little dizzy," Seiji replied.
"That wasn't a dream; you were in a trance during Visualization. That's the best state you can achieve during Visualization, "Mai explained.
"Trance?"
"It means that you Visualize with all your heart and soul, and enter the Psychic World."
"Then what I experienced there … when I was in a trance, was it equivalent to a dream?"
"You could say that. What you see when you're in a trance varies from person to person. Some people see nothing but illusions, while others see their own memories, or an extension of reality. Of course, there are more situations where illusions and reality are mixed to varying degrees, just like a dream. "
It felt like a dream, but it wasn't actually a dream.
Seiji recalled the time when he used his spiritual sense to enter Shika Kagura's soul. That was also like a dream, but it wasn't a dream.
When it came to matters involving the mind and soul, it was probably something like this.
"What if I run into danger in the mental world when I'm in the trance state? For example, if I die?"
"You'll be injured, but it's hard to say how much. You might be frightened, or your soul might be damaged. That's one of the risks of Visualization. "
Mai looked at Seiji.
"It seems like you naturally regained your senses, so you should be fine, right?"
"I'm fine … I was just so close." Seiji recalled the dangerous experience during the Trance.
"Was it dangerous?"
"A little."
"Encountering a dangerous situation during the Trance is risky, but your Spiritual Power will increase faster, so there are pros and cons." Mai blinked. "At any rate, it's good that you're fine."
"Yeah … Senpai, how long did I Visualize for?"
She finally asked this question.
"You Visualized for an entire night, and it's already 6: 30 in the morning," Mai said calmly while looking at his face.
Seiji was surprised to hear this.
"It's been so long!?"
He subconsciously recalled the time that had passed since the beginning and the end of "Trance". Compared to the time in reality, it seemed to be about the same.
It was as if he had lived through another life.
Or should I say, a super realistic first-person VRrpg?
Sigh, now that I think about it, this "visualization" suddenly seems to be fun, right!?
The spiritual world … Compared to VR games that could only be simulated with head-mounted displays and controllers, it was nothing!
It was just that it was a little weird to pretend to be someone he knew as his Spirit-branded Retainer, but since nobody would know, he could just have fun …
In an instant, Seiji's thoughts stopped.
Because he had accidentally stepped into the forbidden zone he had set up.
When he visualized, it was as if he was experiencing another life, another reality.
Then, what about the current "reality"?
This was a world where he could even save and load. What evidence could he have to prove that this wasn't a dream, or … an ultra-realistic game?
The answer is no.
It was just like the "brain in a vat" … a famous hypothesis in his previous life. This hypothesis led to a question: How do I confirm that I'm not a brain in a vat?
The answer was no … That's right, there was no way!
Seiji's current situation was the same, or rather, it was the same for anyone in the "real world."
No one could guarantee that the world they were in was the so-called "reality."
The concept of absolute reality couldn't be verified in reality.
At the end of the day, whether the world in one's eyes was "reality" or not depended on one's own perception.
When he first transmigrated, Seiji had thought about it.
It was like wandering around the edge of the abyss.
In the end, he decided that no matter what was going on, he would look at everything with his own heart, and not treat this world as an imaginary game.
He closed Pandora's box. The endless abyss of darkness, he made it a forbidden zone.
That was why he was who he was now.
Otherwise …
This "visualization" caused Seiji to accidentally touch the forbidden zone. He instantly reacted, stopped thinking, and then started thinking again.
It was like the spiritual world of a super realistic VRrpg … There was a possibility of actual damage …
Wasn't this a f * cking weakened version of Sword and Sword Domain!?
Sword and Sword Domain was also worth thinking about, and it was also the boundary between reality and the virtual world. When a group of people were stuck in a virtual game where they couldn't exit, and where they could really die, the game would become "reality" for these people.
"Visualization" was the same. Since it was so similar to another life, then he should treat it as another life and treat it seriously.
Seiji made his decision.
It took a while for him to think about it.
Mai quietly watched him from the side.
"Senpai, you've been taking care of me for so long? You've worked hard … Thank you so much. "Seiji expressed his sincere gratitude to her.
'That's it?' Mai thought to herself.
'That's his reaction after hearing that I've been "visualizing" for so long?
What was this brat thinking just now? Didn't he know how amazing his performance was!? '
Mai really wanted to believe that he was pretending to be dumb, but she couldn't tell at all.
It was obvious that this guy really didn't know what amazing things he had done.
Although she expected it, this feeling was really …
A terrible girl telling a boy who used to be a piece of trash that he was actually a genius. Question: What was the girl's current mood?
Who could answer? At any rate, this girl herself, Mai Houjou, couldn't answer.
If he had to describe it, it would be a complicated feeling of wanting to beat someone up, but being powerless against it.
Even though his emotions were complicated, he still had to say what he needed to say.
"I'll accept your gratitude, but I need to tell you what amazing things you've done," Mai said in a serious tone.
"Eh?" Seiji was rather confused.
A few moments later.
"Oh, I see." Seiji rubbed his chin in contemplation.
"Visualization for such a long period of time isn't something an ordinary person … not something an ordinary Spiritual Ability user can do. My Spiritual Power is increasing at an incredible rate … I understand now. "
"You understand now, so why are you still so calm? You should know what this means, right? "Mai looked directly at him.
"Ha, of course I know."
Seiji suddenly smiled evilly as he crossed his legs and assumed a posture that made him seem like he was looking down on the entire world.
"I'll soon become a supreme powerful individual, and make all those who looked down on and hurt me pay a painful price! I'll make my family that exiled me regret it! I'll take back everything that belongs to me!!! "
Mai was rendered speechless.
"Is that the attitude you want me to have?" Seiji maintained his chuunibyou pose as he looked at her.
"Er … how should I put it? It seems like it, but it also doesn't seem like it." The maid's eyes were rather hollow.
"You don't have enough power to retort, Senpai."
"What the hell do you mean by retort!?" Mai forcefully retorted.
"That's exactly it." Seiji gave her a thumbs-up and flashed a bright smile.
"Ha … Junior, you're really …"
"I know what you want to say, Senpai, but this is only the beginning. I'm still a newbie, aren't I?" Seiji shrugged.
"Even if I become stronger in the future, I'll still be the current me. Perhaps some things will change, but the important things won't change." He smiled gently.
