'The school festival … I've almost forgotten about it.'
"It should be next week — the school festival." Seiji mulled it over.
"Yeah … Yuen Hwa Secondary's school festival has always been going well, and I hope that it'll get better and better during my tenure, so I need to eliminate any annoying obstacles that might interfere with the school festival," Summer Night said in a serious tone.
"Just like cleaning up before the new year?" Seiji chuckled.
"That's right." Summer Night nodded in agreement.
"What's the specific date?"
"Starting from tomorrow until the day before the school festival, there are three nights in which Okubo can choose to attack.
If he can break through my defenses, he wins, but if he can't, or if he doesn't attack within the time limit, I win. "
"Oh …" Seiji understood the gist of the situation.
"When do you think he'll come?"
"I think he'll drag it out until the very end because he needs time … but even if he drags it out until the very last minute, he definitely won't have enough time to prepare." Summer Night smiled faintly.
"You've completely blocked his time."
"Apart from time, I've also restricted his main preparation methods, such as forbidding him from using that mysterious medicine again."
"Amazing." Although he wasn't sure what this meant, Seiji felt that this would be a heavy blow to Okubo.
'Steady, Grand Mistress!'
"I have a great advantage, but I can't let my guard down. I need to be cautious until the very last moment."
Summer Night didn't get carried away by her victory in the negotiations.
Everything would only be settled after the victor was decided. That was what she thought.
Seiji could tell that she was being cautious, and felt that this was a good attitude.
"Do you need my help with anything?"
"No need. But … "Summer Night looked directly at Seiji's face." Do you … want to participate? "
"Hmm?"
"I've already heard from Houjou-san about you and Shika Kagura … your determination, your actions, and … your changes."
Summer Night narrowed her eyes.
Instantly, her pupils turned blood-red, and her eyes turned into water chestnuts!
What the hell, Manhana Sharingan!?
Seiji was shocked.
"Now, I am personally verifying your condition."
Summer Night stared at the boy with an O-eye expression and said.
"Uh … What are you observing me for?" Seiji blinked.
"I'm looking at your Spiritual Energy and Spiritual Energy fluctuations," Summer Night said calmly.
"You've really … shocked me, Haruta-kun …"
"Before, your spiritual energy and spiritual energy were both very low, but after just one day …"
She sighed, and her pupils returned to normal.
"In such a short period of time, your spiritual power and psionic energy have greatly improved … Although it is still at a low level, the degree of improvement, or rather, the speed, is very shocking."
There was silence.
"If you can improve like this every day, in just a few days, you'll reach the level of a Spirit-branded Retainer," Summer Night told him in a serious tone.
"The level of a Spirit-branded Retainer … is the most difficult level, right?" Seiji rubbed his chin in contemplation.
"It is indeed the lowest level, but even so, it's still the threshold for becoming a Spirit-branded Retainer." Summer Night sighed.
"Haruta-kun, your transformation is truly astonishing … You don't know much about the general situation here, so you don't know, but I have to tell you, and you have to remember that your tremendous improvement is truly astonishing, or perhaps I should say astounding."
At the very least, as far as I know, modern Yin-Yang Masters … no, among all Spiritual Ability users, there has never been a situation like yours! Even if your spiritual power and Spiritual Energy are both low, but you greatly improve overnight through Visualization — there has never been a single case of such a thing happening!
Such things have only happened in the annals of history, as well as in legends.
In other words, if your situation is made public, you'll become a living legend of the modern era! "
Seiji scratched his face awkwardly.
"A legend … it doesn't feel real, but I'll remember it."
"That's good, then." Summer Night nodded.
"To be honest, when Houjou-san told me about your situation, I thought that there was something wrong with my ears … She wouldn't lie to me, so even though I felt it was inconceivable, I accepted it in the end. And just now, I personally witnessed it for myself. "
The Grand Mistress had an emotional and complex expression.
"Houjou-san said that you wanted to become a Yin-Yang Master, so I thought that perhaps you'd like to participate and personally witness this duel, so that you can better understand this side."
Seiji fell silent for a moment.
"If I want to, I'll have to improve my power to the point where I can become a Spirit-branded Retainer in the remaining time, right?"
"That's not necessary." Summer Night shook her head.
"If you reach that level, I can recruit you as a temporary Spirit-branded Retainer so that you can participate in the duel from a close distance. But if you don't want to participate in the duel, or if you can't reach that level, you can still spectate."
"Oh …"
"I have a great advantage in this duel, so it's relatively safe for me to participate, but there's still some risk … What would you like to do?"
Seiji thought about it for a moment.
"If I become a temporary Spirit-branded Retainer and enter the duel, will I cause trouble for you?"
"That'll depend on your performance, but I believe that you won't … In fact, you might even be of great use."
"How so?"
"I think that your opponent might use a soul-based attack, and you're quite talented in this area, so you're more than capable of being a surprise attack," Summer Night told him in a serious tone.
"You mean … that the duel might turn into something similar to when Shika Kagura dispelled his spell?" Seiji's eyes lit up.
"Yes, it might be a soul-based battle, just like how you fought back then," Summer Night confirmed.
'Why didn't you say so earlier!' 'Grand Mistress!'
Seiji was getting excited. If it was a battle that relied solely on imagination, that would be fun!
A 2-D battle … or perhaps it should be said that there were simply too many ways to abuse someone! In a soul-based battle, he could use every method he could think of — against that bastard!!
This would be many times more enjoyable than beating him up in real life!
Just imagining the possible scenes caused Seiji to become excited.
Although it was only a possibility.
Still, it was worth fighting for! It was such a good (sad) opportunity to fight (sick) (crazy) battle (heart)!!
"I want to participate in the duel!" Seiji's mouth arced upwards as his eyes flashed.
"In the next few days, I'll do my best to cultivate and reach the level where I can become a Spirit-branded Retainer! Please give me more pointers as well, so that I can learn as much as I can, President Wanhua! "
"Oh … okay." Summer Night was rather dazed by Seiji's sudden outburst of enthusiasm and responded in a daze.
"There's no time to lose — I'll begin right away! If I want to borrow your Spirit Image again, I can go ask Houjou-senpai for help.
Or perhaps, President, do you think it would be better to teach me something first? For example, let me read some secret manuals, or teach me how to use spells? "Seiji flashed a bright smile.
"Er … go ahead and Visualize first," Summer Night told him.
"Understood! Goodbye then. "Seiji responded decisively and turned around to leave.
Summer Night watched Seiji's figure disappear into the distance and tilted her head slightly.
