That sounded quite domineering, but …
"You'll need to be able to defeat him first," Tomohisa retorted.
"What makes you say that I can't defeat him?"
"Even an idiot would understand. How can a strange ability that you obtained in your sleep possibly compare to a Spiritual Ability user!?"
"How would I know if I don't try!?" Zankita's eyes were filled with fighting spirit.
Seeing Zankita's expression, Seiji clearly recalled the first time he met Zankita … he now had a deeper understanding of why Tomohisa called him an "idiot."
A so-called battle maniac.
"I don't even need to try to know that you're definitely no match for him." Tomohisa said helplessly, "Please use your brain and think about it, bro … how could someone who just happened to pick up a sword compare to a swordsman who's been cultivating for a long time? Impossible! "
"I'm also someone who's been cultivating for a long time. In that strange dream of mine, I even defeated Tengu!"
"I'm not talking about fighting techniques, I'm talking about Spiritual Abilities! How many hours has it been since you obtained this ability? And how long have real Spiritual Ability users been cultivating for? Think about it, idiot! "
"The amount of time you've spent cultivating doesn't equate to how strong you are!"
"Stop being so stubborn!"
"You're the one who is!"
And so, the two brothers began arguing.
Should he say something like "we have such a good relationship?" Seiji thought as he leisurely sipped some tea from his teacup.
"Could you please give this idiot some pointers?" Tomohisa asked Seiji as he didn't want to waste time arguing with Zankita any longer. "Let this idiot clearly see the difference between him and a real Spiritual Ability user."
"You want to fight? Perfect! "Zankita suddenly punched his fists, causing flames to cover his fists." I'd like to fight you again as well, bro! I'm going to win this time! "
Seiji was rendered speechless.
Seiji sipped some more tea and put down his teacup as he faced Zankita's pleading and battle-hungry eyes.
"Alright then."
And so, the scene changed to the dojo.
"Don't beat him up so badly that he can't get out of bed. This idiot still has some uses," Tomohisa said after Seiji changed into his martial arts attire and walked to the dojo.
"Hey! Don't say anything unnecessary! " Zankita, who had also changed into a samurai suit, shouted, "Brother Harano, don't worry about anything. Fight with all your might!"
"Full strength my ass! If Seigo uses his full strength, I'm afraid you won't even have a complete corpse left!! "
"Don't underestimate me! How would you know if you haven't fought him!? "
"There's no need to watch to know the result of a fight between a kitten and a lion!"
"I'm not a kitten!!" Zankita assumed a fighting stance as blue flames appeared on his fists. "Let's begin, bro!"
"Yes, please take care of me." Seiji cast Body-strengthening Technique and Mana Shield and got into a fighting stance.
The next second, Zankita viciously punched out as flames burst forth!
…
It was within Tomohisa's expectations.
In less than a minute, the idiot big brother was knocked down.
This was the result of his opponent allowing him to attack for more than half a minute. If Seigo had attacked seriously from the start, this duel would have ended in less than three seconds.
No, this was not a duel at all. It was just a game between a lion and a kitten. That was what Tomohisa thought to himself.
"This ability does have some power when used on fists, but if it can't be used on defense … that's all there is to it," Seiji told him.
Just like last time, Seiji only needed one attack to defeat Zankita.
His fists were covered in blue flames, and each punch was capable of bursting with flames. This was a real threat to Zankita's protective barrier. But no matter how powerful Zankita's attack was, his defense wasn't strong enough, which was the result.
"Wah … amazing, as expected of my bro." Zankita crawled up while clutching his stomach.
"Now you should know how foolish your way of thinking was." Tomohisa sighed at his older brother. "If it wasn't for Seigo holding back, you would have been hospitalized again."
Zankita fell silent for a moment.
"Bro Harano … no, Haruta -sama." Zankita looked at Seiji with a serious expression. "I'd like to ask, how can I become stronger?"
Seiji blinked upon seeing the change in Zankita's attitude.
"How can the Awakened become stronger … I don't know. I think it's to make good use of your own abilities first."
"Isn't there a more specific method? I want to become stronger as soon as possible! I want to protect my family and my teammates. "Zankita's eyes and words were filled with a strong will.
Seiji was rather moved.
"If I knew, I would tell you, but I really don't know," Seiji responded.
"I see …" Zankita's eyes dimmed slightly. "Thank you for fighting with me."
He turned around and left after saying this.
"You're a good older brother," Seiji said softly as he watched Zankita leave.
"He's just an idiot older brother." Tomohisa adjusted his eyeglasses.
…
There was indeed no specific method for the Awakened to become stronger quickly. However, there was a possible method — Spirit Worlds.
Resources obtained in Spirit Worlds, such as silver fruits, might be useful to the Awakened as well.
If he could increase his "Spiritual Power" to a sufficient degree, and there were still silver fruits left, should he give one to Zankita Juumonji so that he could try it?
Seiji considered it for a moment and decided to think about it when the time came.
When he returned home, he received a storage scroll that Hana had sent him.
He opened it and saw that the silver-gray material was engraved with intricate and complicated black runes.
According to the user's manual, he inputted his Mana, set the password, and activated the spell.
A black hole appeared in the center of the spell. Seiji placed all the silver fruits into the black hole and stored them inside.
After putting away the scroll, Seiji opened up his system and checked the [Gift] option. He saw that the spiritual equipment that his younger sister had given him was …
[All-stat improvement card — [Hope]]
This card contains Hana's feelings of hope. After using it, all of your basic stats will be permanently increased! The lower your stats are, the greater the increase.
[Body and Mind Protection card — [Worry]]
This card contains Hana's feelings of worry. After using it, all physical and soul injuries will be instantly healed, and your defense will be doubled. Duration: 3 minutes!
[Mental suppression card — [Retorting]]
This card contains Hana's intense feelings of retorting. After using it, choose any person, and that person's mental state will be greatly suppressed. Duration: 2 minutes and 22 seconds.
Seiji was rendered speechless.
Something strange had appeared!
An All-stat improvement card. This was one of the rewards that Yui had given him for the black cell phone.
[Body and Mind Protection card. Full healing and increased defense. This is doubtlessly a powerful life-saving item!] Needless to say.
But what the hell was a mental suppression card!?
[Retorting] … Duration: 2 minutes and 22 seconds … Hey, this feels so strange!
What would happen to someone whose mental state was greatly suppressed? Just what would happen to them? Could they at least explain it more clearly!
Seiji's expression became rather complex as he looked at this card.
This was a curse-type item formed from "intense feelings of retorting". Was this the materialization of [Verbal Cannon]?
'How amazing, my younger sister.
My older sister and younger sister are both amazing individuals. It's quite stressful to be stuck in the middle. '
Seiji turned off his system after he finished sighing to himself.
[All-stat improvement card] could be used later. Right now … it was time to write a game scenario.
Although he was currently focused on improving his power level through cultivation, he hadn't completely forgotten about this. After all, this wasn't something that only concerned him. Besides, he could also treat this as a form of relaxation.
