[First time traveling through a Soul World. Activating the Soul World option.]
[Experiencing the life of Gail the Gray-Clothed One. You have learned Soul World — Howling Wind Slash.]
A new option!
Seiji raised his eyebrows in surprise.
The name of the option was [Soul World], and there was no explanation. It was different from the other options.
What did this mean? Could it be that even his dating sim system didn't know what a "Soul World" was?
Seiji immediately opened up his system to check.
When he chose [Soul World], he saw a [Howling Wind Slash] and … [Soul Energy]!
[Soul Energy] was displayed at 100 points, but the system didn't explain it at all.
When he looked at [Howling Wind Slash], the system's explanation was: [A legendary sword technique of Gail the Gray-Clothed One. Requires the wielder to wield a sword-type spiritual weapon. Using it consumes stamina and spirit, as well as 100 Soul Energy.]
This was far too simple of an explanation.'System, you sure are lazy this time. ' Seiji commented in his mind.
Using it consumes "Soul Energy" … then did "Soul Energy" actually mean "the amount of energy required to use the Soul World technique"?
Emmmm … no matter how it came about, how was he supposed to recover such a large amount of energy? Could he recover it naturally? Or would he have to go to Soul World to replenish it?
Besides, he didn't even know how to go to Soul World.
As far as he knew, Soul World seemed to be a mystical realm that allowed him to experience the lives of people from other worlds. There was a mysterious black-robed young man wearing a white fox mask who acted as the guide.
Experiencing someone else's life felt like an incredibly realistic dream. Most things would be forgotten after waking up, but some things would be remembered clearly, such as the mystical sword techniques he learned.
From a practical standpoint, this was like obtaining a new ability after a short sleep. This was quite similar to the Awakened!
"The Awakened … could it be that the soul realm that Genji and Hoshi entered was actually Soul World?" Seiji wondered to himself.
It was possible.
This would explain why he heard Genji's cries for help and transmigrated to her side.
The white fox masked man said that he had the power to go to Soul World.
He didn't know where this power came from. In any case, he could be considered a "Soul World Traveler" for the time being. He heard Genji's call while she was trapped in the Soul World and followed her voice to where she was.
This sounded reasonable, but there were still some problems. For example, the "mystical connection" that Yomi mentioned, Genji and Hoshi's specific experiences, and the abilities that they Awakened to …
Combining all these factors, Seiji felt that the domain he went to last night was different from the domain Genji and Hoshi had gone to. It was possible that the two sides were different forms of Soul Worlds, but it was also possible that they weren't.
What was the relationship between this mysterious domain, "Soul World", and the mysterious organization, "Soul World", that used the Zero Point technique?
With regards to this, Seiji boldly guessed that the members of that organization were actually "Soul World Transmigrators" or "Awakened"!
Those people had obtained power from the Soul World domain a long time ago. Later on, they united and formed an organization.
The evidence for this conjecture was the White Fox masked man's words. According to the guide, there were at least three other people who had gone to that place.
Even if there were only three people, as long as all three of them obtained great power, it would be more than enough to create an entire organization. As for how many people there were, Seiji was unable to guess. But, there shouldn't be too many.
What did they want to do by joining together?
The Zero Point technique, the night of one hundred demons, the Awakened, Spirit Worlds … Currently, Seiji still couldn't tell what their goal was. However, it was easy to imagine that if this continued, the current reality would likely be overturned.
"A new world … perhaps that really is the case." Seiji sighed in his heart.
Then, he stopped thinking about it and checked how much his [Spiritual Power] stat had increased.
It had increased by 19 points! This was quite a good effect.
Judging from how much his [Yin-Yang Seal] progress had increased, as long as the silver fruits he ate in the future had similar effects, it would definitely be possible to fill up his progress bar before eating all the silver fruits.
No matter what happened in the future, Seiji wanted to become stronger as quickly as possible so that he had the power to protect the people he wanted to protect.
…
"Please find the other Awakened and warn them not to expose themselves."
During lunch break, Seiji was invited to the student council office when he heard Summer Night's request.
"With my current position and situation, it's not appropriate for me to do this. I can only rely on you," she told him in a soft voice.
Seiji nodded in understanding.
"Understood. Leave it to me."
If he didn't find the hidden Awakened in the school and warn them, it was possible that some of them would cause trouble. That would be terrible.
Due to her current situation, it wasn't appropriate for Summer Night to do this. In other words, he couldn't borrow her or Hitaka's power. He could only rely on himself.
The first method that Seiji thought of was to use [Astral Vision] to scan the entire school.
This would be rather inefficient, and it was unlikely that he would be able to find the Awakened. It was a rather foolish method.
The second method was to ask his friends for help.
Mika and Chiaki, Hoshi and the twin sisters, Genji, and Feng Wu all expressed their willingness to help. They would immediately inform him if they discovered anything noteworthy.
After school.
Seiji received a call from Tomohisa and was invited to the Juumonji Group.
When he arrived at the Juumonji Group residence, he saw two people already waiting for him in the living room. One was naturally Tomohisa, and the other was...
"Hey, long time no see." A red-haired man with sharp eyebrows greeted him.
Zankita Juumonji, Tomohisa and Feng Wu's older brother.
Seiji had only met him once before, when he had first been invited to the Juumonji Group.
At that time, this guy had charged at him and directly punched him. Seiji had been forced to fight back and had ended up injuring Zankita.
"Long time no see. Have your injuries healed already?"
"They healed a long time ago. You were really vicious at that time, but I like it!" Zankita gave him a thumbs-up.
Seiji looked towards Tomohisa.
"This guy's just such an idiot. Please bear with him." Tomohisa poured some tea for him.
"Hey!" Zankita was dissatisfied.
Seiji's mouth twitched.
Although the eldest son of the Juumonji Family seemed like a violent person, Seiji found him surprisingly easy to deal with.
"Why did you come all the way here?" Seiji asked.
"Brother, let him have a look."
At Tomohisa's instruction, Zankita raised his hand, and blue flames instantly appeared on his palm!
Seiji was astonished to see this.
This ability … he could actually see directly!?
He immediately used [Astral Vision] and saw that the blue flames on Zankita's hand were quite dazzling. Zankita's arm was glowing with a hazy mystical light, giving off an extraordinary aura.
Genji's spiderweb and Hoshi's red bird could only be seen with [Astral Vision]. Was this blue flame directly visible because it was of a higher power level?
Wait a moment … red hair, blue flames … Seiji suddenly recalled a famous fighting game character from his previous world!
That fighting game was a very deep childhood memory, and that character was one of the most popular characters back then. His killing move was super cool, and every time he successfully used it, he would feel a sense of satisfaction, so much so that he had memorized the lines of his killing move. He remembered that it was …
"He had a strange dream about fighting against the Tengu. After he woke up, he obtained this ability," Tomohisa told him. "Do you know anything about this?"
Seiji regained his senses after his memory was interrupted.
"I do." He nodded and explained.
Tomohisa fell silent for a moment after learning about the Awakened and the current situation of the Awakened.
"Brother, you can only use this ability at home. Don't use it outside," Seiji warned his brother.
"Why?"
"Didn't you hear what Seigo said just now?"
