Seiji looked at [Beginner-level Astral Vision] again after reading through the unsealing skills. He clicked on [Beginner-level Astral Vision] and discovered that there were three new names: [Subtlety], [Farsight], and [Full Vision].
He was astonished after reading the descriptions carefully.
[Subtlety] was the special observation mode of [Beginner-level Astral Vision]. In this mode, he could observe any target in his field of vision in minute detail.
[Farsight] was a special visual field mode that allowed him to see things far away.
[Full Vision] was the second visual field mode. In this mode, he could see everything around him 360 degrees without any blind spots.
What was this?
This was basically an O with an O, alright!?
Seiji couldn't help but comment in his mind.
System, you're amazing to be able to copy the two major ocular techniques from Naruto.
Even though it seemed like a weaker version, this was still [Beginner-level Astral Vision]! Perhaps it would be the complete version when it reached the higher level.
It didn't seem like an O with a kaleidoscope was a dream anymore. In that case, could he look forward to O or even reincarnation?
'Cough, cough, let's not get distracted for now and see how to learn it first. '
[Read advanced Astral Vision manuals or equivalent materials. Understand and comprehend — current progress 0%.]
[Continue to practice [Astral Vision] and improve your spell proficiency — current progress 0%.]
“？？？ (Revealed after completing the first two requirements.)]
All three modes were like this.
Seiji was rendered speechless.
'Alright, I knew it wouldn't be so easy. '
He sighed inwardly and closed his system.
At any rate, he had learned [Astral Vision] and would be able to see abnormal objects in the future.
'What should I learn next? '
'There's nothing that I really need to learn for now. I'll focus on writing [Brother Monogatari] first before making any other plans. ' Seiji thought to himself.
He checked the time again.
It was already quite late. It was impossible for him to watch Mika's Mashiro Kobayashi, but he still had some free time to go online.
So, he left his room, turned on his computer, and opened a web browser.
Suddenly, his cell phone rang.
He saw that it was Peach-sensei!
Seiji picked up the call.
"Hello... Haruta-kun, good evening."
"Good evening, teacher."
"Sorry to call you at this hour … Are you asleep?"
"No, he's still online," Seiji said casually. "It's impossible for a male high school student to sleep so early on a holiday."
There was a chuckle on the other side.
"I'm glad I didn't disturb you. Actually, I drew a picture and wanted to give it to you as a thank you for accompanying me to the school festival. "
"Teacher's drawing? This is great! "Seiji's eyes lit up.
"I don't think that Teacher should give me a gift of gratitude, but I feel that I can't reject such a gift. I really want it!"
Hearing the boy's frank words, the manga author smiled even more happily.
"I got your email address from Saki and have already sent it to you."
"I will definitely like Teacher's drawings."
Seiji immediately logged into his mailbox, clicked on the new email, downloaded the attachment, and opened it.
It was a large drawing in the style of a "Honey Candy Girl" manga. The background was a school … in other words, Yuen Hwa Secondary, and the characters were... everyone who had walked together with him during the school festival!
Saki, Mai, Hoshi, Chiaki, Mika, Kaori, as well as Seiji and Mayuzumi herself. Everyone was here in the style of a "Honey Candy Girl" manga character.
Seiji and Chiaki were in the center. The former was wearing an extravagant outfit with angel wings and was posing, while the latter was dancing in her costume.
Everyone else was watching them... a bespectacled Saki was drinking tea from a cup, Mayuzumi was happily eating cake next to her, Mai was wearing maid attire and holding a large plate filled with food, Hoshi was clapping, Mika was eating an octopus ball, and Kaori was wearing a gunfighter game outfit while holding a great gun.
Every character was drawn in a cute and lively manner, and the entire scene was filled with a joyous atmosphere.
Just as Seiji had said, he fell in love with this drawing the moment he saw it.
"Sensei, this drawing is so well done. I really like it." He chuckled at his cell phone. "This present is just right for me. Thank you so much."
"This is a small thank you gift to you. It's good that you like it."
"I want to show this drawing to everyone else. I'm sure they'll like it as well."
Seiji suddenly had a thought as he carefully looked at the drawing in front of him.
"Sensei, you can draw male characters now?"
Had he already crossed the line of not being able to draw male characters due to his phobia?
"No... not yet." Mayuzumi sighed. "I can only draw you and Hoshi. The others... I can't."
"Oh..." Seiji mulled it over.
"Then, Sensei, can you treat all the male characters as if they were me or Hoshi in disguise?"
"Eh?"
"For example, Sensei, if you draw an older version of me or Hoshi, wouldn't that be a new character? Or if you draw me in a costume or some makeup, something like that... at any rate, you'll be able to bypass your phobia, alright? "
Seiji fell silent for a while.
* Pfft. * Mayuzumi chuckled again.
"I never thought that such a method existed... perhaps I can give it a try."
"Haha, it's good that it's useful. Although this won't truly overcome your phobia, it'll at least allow Sensei to draw more characters. "
"It feels so strange to draw only you and Hoshi as the male characters."
"Those who see it won't know!"
Seiji and Mayuzumi had fun chatting for a while.
Then, they said goodnight to each other and hung up the phone.
Seiji immediately opened up his system and checked his [Gifts].
The manga author's drawing brought him a reward:
[Art level up card: Heart of Gratitude.]
[This card contains the manga author's sincere gratitude.] [After using it, your [Art] stat will be permanently increased. The lower your stat, the greater the increase.]
[Defense level up card: Gentle Thoughts.]
[This card contains the manga author's feelings of gentleness and reliability.] [After using it, your defense will multiply for seven minutes!]
[Item Acquisition Card: Feelings of Appreciation.]
[This card contains the manga author's sincere appreciation of him.] [After using it, you can select any item and receive it for free.]
The reward was indeed generous.
He could immediately use [Heart of Gratitude] to increase his [Art] stat.
According to the system, the defensive ability that "Gentle Thought" boosted … would double the physical resistance, the effectiveness of the defensive equipment, and the effects of defensive spells at that moment!
There was only one word to describe it: powerful! It was definitely a cheat.
Lasting for seven minutes, that was a little tricky. He needed to use it at the right time, such as to save his life or to forcefully block an enemy's attack.
As for [Feelings of Appreciation], it was basically a free item. Seiji didn't want to obtain it immediately, so he kept it for now.
After he finished checking his system, Seiji turned off his system.
[Heart of Gratitude.] He intended to wait until he returned to his room.
It would be nice to be able to increase his [Art] stat, but he was currently busy writing his story. Even if his drawing ability became better, he wouldn't be able to do much for the time being. All he did was browse through the daily quests.
