There was a unique atmosphere at the school at night.
During the day, there were young students everywhere, but at night, there was a strange sense of loneliness. Seiji didn't know if it was due to the contrast in people's minds, or if there was indeed something invisible that existed.
Something invisible … in his previous life, Seiji didn't know what it was, but in this life, it definitely existed at Yuen Hwa Secondary.
It was just that he couldn't see it yet.
Right now, he was standing on an empty field with Grand Mistress by his side.
"Let's begin, Haruta-kun," Summer Night said.
Seiji nodded.
Maintaining the status of the Body-strengthening Technique, he began to run.
He felt his body become very light, and he could easily cover twice the usual distance, even three times, or even four times the usual distance …
'So fast!'
Seiji exclaimed in his heart.
He didn't know what his current speed was, but he was sure that it had already surpassed the world record — the world record for ordinary people!
It was as if he had transformed into the wind.
'Cough cough, this sentence sounds a little embarrassing …'
'But it really feels like this!' His body felt light, and he ran at lightning speed. This feeling of incomparable elegance was really …
* Crack! * His foot slipped.
Seiji lost his balance and was sent flying. He tumbled on the ground and only stopped after a long distance.
"Haruta-kun! Are you alright? "Summer Night shouted.
"I … I'm fine!" Seiji stood up and dusted himself off.
It didn't hurt … probably because of the [Body-strengthening Spell]'s protection.
If he had fallen at this speed under normal circumstances, he would definitely have been hospitalized.
"Control your pace and strength, and you'll get used to it gradually!" Summer Night shouted again.
"Got it!" Seiji nodded at her.
Then, he began running again.
This time, he didn't take large strides as he pleased. Instead, he tried to find the most suitable pace for himself.
In the eyes of the spectating Grand Mistress, the tall boy's running speed became faster and steadier, and it even began to reflect a sense of beauty.
It couldn't be helped — he was just too handsome.
Just watching such a handsome guy running was a kind of enjoyment for the girls, so it was natural that they felt it was beautiful.
Natsuya quietly watched and enjoyed the show.
After running who knew how many laps, Seiji finally slowed down and came to a screeching halt in front of Natsuya.
"Running … I think that's about it. What do you think?"
"Very good." Natsuya nodded. "That should be enough for normal running movements. As for special movements …"
As she spoke, she naturally performed the Body-strengthening Spell and stepped forward.
Peng!
Before Seiji's eyes, the Grand Mistress suddenly disappeared.
Then, with another bang, the girl's beautiful figure appeared twenty meters away and stood steadily.
Is this … the move that Hitaka used in the hall? Seiji blinked.
"This is the 'Jumping Steps'. A long time ago, it was also known as the 'Shrinking Steps'. It's actually the 'Shrinking Steps' effect of the 'Body-strengthening Spell.' "
It really was the 'Shrinking Steps' effect. Seiji had guessed correctly.
"To execute a technique, you need to first focus your strength on the foot you're stepping out with, and after you're able to jump horizontally, focus your strength on the other foot, and stop at the place where you need to stop," Natsuya explained.
Seiji nodded in understanding and began experimenting.
He stepped forward with his right foot, focused his strength, and jumped!
* Whoosh! * Seiji's vision suddenly shifted forward.
Focus your strength on your left foot, and stop!
He stepped on the ground and attempted to stop, but he slipped and lost his balance again, falling down and rolling for a long distance.
'Alright, I'll try again.'
Peng! He fell down again.
He tried a third time.
Peng! He kept falling down.
Fourth time, fifth time …
Seiji felt like he was becoming a car flipping … whoops, a rolling expert.
Although he wasn't in much pain or injured, it was still rather embarrassing to be in such a sorry state in front of the beautiful president.
"It's always like this at the beginning. I also fell down many times when I first started practicing the 'Jumping Steps,' so don't mind this temporary failure." Summer Night chuckled as if she could read his mind.
'What a gentle Grand Mistress.'
Seiji silently continued practicing.
When he was almost able to roll in a variety of patterns, he finally grasped the trick and barely managed to stop himself from falling down.
He couldn't help but recall the feeling when he first learned how to ride a bicycle as a child.
'Keep working hard!'
Now that he understood the key points, it became easier to practice.
Gradually, Seiji reached the point where he no longer fell down easily.
However, he was still quite a ways off from being as skilled as the president, Grand Mistress.
"Stop using the 'Jumping Steps,' and try using the 'High Jump,'" Summer Night told him.
High jump referred to focusing your strength on your feet and using all your strength to leap upwards.
Seiji tried it out.
While practicing the 'Jumping Steps', he had already grasped a bit of technique for exerting his strength. Now, he used it on both his feet and … used all his strength to jump!
* Boom!! *
Seiji felt like he was flying.
Just like a bird.
Although this description was rather embarrassing, it was indeed what he felt at this moment.
He still remembered watching Dragonball when he was young, and seeing Goku and Orin take off their turtle shells that they used for training and jump for the first time.
In that instant, the two of them left the ground and flew to an unimaginable height.
Seiji still remembered that scene clearly. He imagined how moved the two characters must have felt at that time, and he still firmly remembered their lines.
"We …"
"We jumped up on our own …"
"Wonderful!"
And now, at this moment.
It was no longer imagination, nor was it the moving of a manga character.
'I … jumped up on my own.
I flew up on my own! '
"Wow!!"
In the sky, Seiji let out a joyful shout as he revealed a carefree smile.
He was enjoying this moment as much as he could, as if he were a child that hadn't grown up yet.
The moment he stopped at the highest point, he took a deep breath.
Then, he landed.
He still focused his strength on his feet and maintained a balanced posture.
* Thump!! * He landed where he originally was, shaking up the dust.
He slowly straightened his body and smiled at the nearby girl.
"Wonderful!"
Using his own strength, he was able to truly experience how moved he was in the past. 'This is wonderful.'
Summer Night was stunned for a moment.
The handsome boy's straightforward and bright smile with a hint of childishness suddenly touched her heart.
Once again, her heart raced.
She didn't hear what he said next. She suddenly regained her senses and smiled.
They continued practicing.
Summer Night accompanied Seiji and patiently guided him.
She watched him run, jump, and make a fool of himself. She watched him show off his happy, excited, and even childish expressions.
There was an indescribable feeling in the depths of her heart.
Something was slowly accumulating.
Grand Mistress didn't know about it, or perhaps she intentionally ignored it.
