The entire equipment set was dark gray in color. It had a subtle sci-fi feel to it, similar to the Black O Empire.
There were some tiny white runes on the jacket. They seemed messy, but seemed to contain some sort of order. The long-sleeved jacket was rather hard, and it was covered in gray fish scale-like runes. If one looked closely, they would discover that each "fish scale" was actually a miniature spell formation! The trousers had gray patterns that were similar to the trench coat.
Apart from the jacket, there were also boots and gloves. They all seemed rather high-class.
Seiji tried wearing the jacket. Apart from the fact that the jacket was a little too tight and the boots didn't fit well, everything else was fine.
There was a knock on his door.
Seiji opened the door and saw Summer Night.
"How is it?"
"It basically fits …" He explained how it felt to her.
"Let's go to the practice field and test it out," Summer Night told him.
…
During the actual test, Seiji felt that this combat uniform was more than twice as powerful as the one he wore during the duel!
Comparatively speaking, this combat uniform had the highest defense, because of the jacket.
"This uniform is called the 'Scale Formation Armor.' It was created using the Haruta Family's unique Spiritual Artifact crafting techniques. It's quite advanced. At the same cost, there's no other clothing with a higher defense than this armor, "Summer Night explained.
The combat uniform came with a Mana longsword, a handgun, and a shield, all of which were excellent Spiritual Artifacts.
Summer Night recorded the entire equipment set's test results, data, and user impressions.
After that, Seiji changed out of the combat uniform and handed it over to the Grand Mistress to take with him so that he could adjust to the environment. He rested in his room for a while.
Then, he checked his cell phone which contained a secret manual. He found information about Mana conversion and began reading it.
Reading, understanding, practicing, learning … time passed quickly.
By the time Seiji regained his senses, it was already evening.
He wanted to work harder and learn [Dragon Counterattack] by today! That was why he called Little Shi and told her that he wouldn't be returning home tonight, and that he would be practicing at the president's residence.
After dinner and some rest, he received a phone call just as he was about to continue practicing.
It was Mika.
"Seiji … is he busy?"
"I'm about to go practice my Psionic powers. What happened? "
The other side was silent for a moment.
"Nothing, I just wanted to see you … Since you're not free, let's just leave it at that," Mika said softly.
Dialogue options immediately appeared in front of Seiji's eyes —
A: "It's not that I don't have time. I can still meet him."
B: "Good night."
C: "I'm very busy. Don't call me if there's nothing important."
Since there was an option, it meant that the current response was more important.
He had a rough idea of what the other party wanted to talk about. After a second of consideration, he chose A.
"It's not that I don't have time. We can still meet."
"… Is it really possible?"
"Of course. Wait a moment, I'll go back now. "
"No, I'll go find you," Mika said hurriedly. "I'll wait for you near the president's house …"
"No, I'll go back. You can wait at home." Seiji hung up the phone without waiting for the other party's response.
He then put on his jacket, walked out of the president's residence, and returned to Uehara's apartment.
Meanwhile, Mika stared at her cell phone in a daze, feeling rather guilty.
"Honestly, I knew that he was short on time …" The double pigtailed girl muttered to herself as she lay on her bed.
Although she felt guilty, she was also happy that Seiji valued her so much.
Mika hugged her pillow as she recalled his gentle and handsome face, which warmed her heart.
What she wanted to discuss with him was important, but also seemed unimportant. As long as she could see him …
Her face flushed red as she buried her face in her pillow.
Not long after, Seiji returned to Uehara's apartment and took out his cell phone to make a call.
Mika soon walked out of the room.
He smiled at her and walked out together with her.
The two of them walked side by side without saying anything.
It was nice to walk in silence for a while, but it wasn't the time to relax.
"You probably have something to say to me, right?" Seiji spoke up.
"Yeah …" Although Mika felt like it didn't matter anymore, she still needed to say what she needed to say.
"After I talked to you last time, I thought about it, and then I talked to Kinsa-sensei," she told him.
"Sensei told me many things: the concepts of Spiritual Ability users, the rules that we all agree on, the reality of the world … and so on. “
"Then, I thought about it for a long time, and felt that I didn't completely understand it, but I did understand some parts …"
Something flashed in her eyes as she looked at the boy beside her.
"What parts?" Seiji also looked at her.
Mika stopped walking.
At this moment, a car passed by them. The car's headlights clearly illuminated Mika's serious expression.
"Seiji … you'll kill someone for me, right?" she asked in an abnormally calm tone.
Seiji widened his eyes slightly.
"Yes … if it's necessary, I will," he answered calmly after a moment of surprise.
"Even if I don't want you to do it, will you?" Mika asked again.
Seiji remained silent.
Mika looked at him for a while before she smiled.
"It seems that I wasn't wrong."
Her smile seemed both pure and complicated. Combined with her words, it seemed to have a deeper meaning.
Seiji had never seen Mika with such an expression before. His gaze froze over.
She walked closer, hugged him, and rested her face on his chest.
"I like you, Seiji.
Although I'm rather stupid and can't understand some things quickly, my feelings towards you are the most certain.
Killing someone is a bad thing. But, if you accept killing someone and will kill someone for me, then I can accept it as well, and I can do it for you.
I'm not a kind girl. I'm a girl who likes you … that's what I've thought clearly about. "
Seiji was moved by Natsuya's sincerity.
"Mika, you don't actually need to …"
"I know, but I'm just like that."
The pigtailed girl hugged him tightly as if she was feeling everything about him.
Seiji fell silent for a moment before he also hugged her.
The two of them quietly hugged each other on the street in the middle of the night.
…
After Seiji returned to the student council president's residence, he continued cultivating.
However, he kept thinking about Mika's smile and her sincere confession.
Seiji was filled with indescribable emotions, making it difficult for him to concentrate.
So, he decided to stop practicing and start writing a game scenario in his room.
The fourth female lead was a seemingly ordinary girl. She didn't have any special relationship with the male protagonist. They only knew each other because they sat close to each other in class. She didn't have a unique personality or any obvious specialties.
The male protagonist coincidentally helped her when she was in a difficult situation. She developed a favorable impression of him and gradually approached him of her own volition …
After writing for a while, Seiji felt like 'just what am I writing?'. He stopped writing and reexamined what he had written.
This type of story … wouldn't do.
He made his judgment and placed all of this in his trash folder.
He felt that he should have a good discussion with Mika after the duel before writing about this female lead.
