'Notice: Your proficiency with Cadaveric Aura has increased slightly.'
Huh?
Kitagawa Tera, who wanted to crush the grudges, was startled after hearing the system notice. He brought up the system interface.
Name: Bai Fan (Kitagawa Tera)
Comprehensive Physical Stat: 30
Cadaveric Aura: 72/81

Fundamental Use of Cadaveric Aura leveling up was truly a pleasant surprise.
Kitagawa Tera did not expect to receive money and also successfully level up today.
"These two grudges were tending toward merging. Luckily, you came to look for me today. Otherwise, it would have been troublesome." Kitagawa Tera ignored Kamiya Mirai's attempts to reach out to poke the grudges in his hand. He closed his fingers around them and crushed them.
In fact, exorcising these two balls of grudges was not as easy as it looked.
These two balls of grudges hidden on Kamiya Mirai were tending toward merging. If these two grudges had really combined in one, even Kitagawa Tera would have found it tricky. After all, one of them had resided on Kamiya Mirai for about five years.
Although it was already on the verge of perishing, had Hoshino Nana's resentful grudge been added to it, Kamiya Mirai's body would have officially transformed into a physical embodiment of grudge.
At that point, the grudge and Kamiya Mirai's body would have been indistinguishable from each other. Then, using Cadaveric Aura, which was corrosive and harmful to such a body, to exorcise the grudge would have been very challenging.
"Oh…" Kamiya Mirai had wanted to move closer to have a look, but she did not expect Kitagawa Tera to crush the 'balls' in his hand so straightforwardly, making her feel left out.
But she did not panic. After all, as long as she was with Kitagawa Tera, seeing these kinds of things would certainly be easy in the future.
"My sister may be shopping with her friends today and come home late. Do you want to go to the lake park with me or go to my house?"
"Of course, I'd want to go with Kitagawa-san to the lake park! It doesn't make sense to go to Kitagawa-san's house without you!"
Kamiya Mirai stretched, feeling refreshed and energetic.
"Okay, pack your things first while I go get my bag."
Kitagawa Tera did not bother with Kamiya Mirai. He turned around, pushed the door open, and strode away.
Looking at his back and seeing that he had no qualms about leaving her, Kamiya Mirai touched her head as bewilderment spread across her face. "Does this guy… feel that after obtaining special powers, he's not even interested in girls?"
She started to question her charms.
From the beginning until now, Kitagawa Tera had only interacted with her because of money. Apart from this element, he did not seem to pay too much attention to her, a school beauty.
Kamiya Mirai was not narcissistic, but from elementary school to middle school and from middle school to high school, at least a hundred people had confessed to her. But only Kitagawa Tera was cold and seemed indifferent about her.
"It's useless to think too much." Kamiya Mirai was not so narcissistic that she was obsessed with insisting that people had to like her. She bent down to pack her things while looking forward to what was going to happen after reaching Kitagawas Tera's house.
....
The multimedia room was not far from Class 1-1. Kitagawa Tera reached it in a few steps.
But before he pushed the door open, he heard people slapping someone's face and shouts.
Kitagawa Tera frowned and subconsciously slowed down.
He personally had no interest in understanding things like campus bullying, nor did he have any intention to watch on from the side. But he thought of Kamiya Mirai, who was waiting for him in the multimedia room, so he opened the door and walked into the classroom expressionlessly.
"Asamiya Hitomi?" Kitagawa Tera's gaze stopped despite his intention to leave immediately after taking his schoolbag.
Through the crowd, Kitagawa Tera clearly saw two boys holding up Asamiya Hitomi between them while Mizuki Yui was pulling on her hair.
Asamiya Hitomi's health was originally not good, and after withstanding several slaps, she could not stand steady. But with her hair pulled, she could only endure the pain and stand on her tiptoes, looking distressed and not daring to shout.
Asamiya Hitomi had always been an invisible person in the class. Everyone was afraid that she would spread her bad luck to them, so no one had dared to bully her.
But Kitagawa Tera thought of what had happened with Mizuki Yui this morning, and he had a rough idea of what was happening. Without hesitation, he kicked with a cold expression.
Kitagawa Tera did not exert all his energy with this kick. But he still sent the person in front flying a few meters away.
The flying body hit the classroom wall heavily.
The student who was knocked down curled up and could not even breathe, his face distorting in pain.
His companions froze for a moment before turning around angrily.
"Bastard!"
"Why did you suddenly hit someone?!"
Oh?
Seeing two familiar faces in front him, a glimmer of coldness flashed across Kitagawa Tera's gaze.
Was this not the trio that he had taught a lesson this morning? It was just that, apart from these three, there were two more boys who had held Asamiya Hitomi up.
Upon seeing Kitagawa Tera, the two who had been taught this morning dropped their jaws. They hastily retreated, their bodies trembling, looking like two wronged ladies.
"Ikegami-senpai! Seki-senpai! What's wrong with you two? This is the repulsive guy I told you about. Why aren't you making your move on him?!"
Mizuki Yui, who had been intimidated by Kitagawa Tera's imposing manner, returned her senses.
Listening to Mizuki Yui's arrogant voice, Seki and Ikegami wanted to tape this girl's mouth shut.
Since Kitagawa Tera could beat them this morning, he could naturally do it a second time. They did not think that they could beat Kitagawa Tera with a few more helpers.
This guy absolutely trained, and he hit hard. They felt the pain for an entire day after being pummeled by him.
If they had known that the devil Mizuki Yui was talking about was him, they would never have gotten involved in this.
Did they not see that this guy had already taken one down?
Mommy… I feel like crying.
Looking at Kitagawa Tera's expressionless face, Seki stammered, "K-Kitagawa, this is a misunderstanding."
Just as he was hoping to have a friendly exchange with Kitagawa Tera, the two other boys that did not fully understand the situation already rushed up.
"Seki-senpai! Why are you being so polite? We have so many people. Isn't he courting death?!"
"That's right. Let's give this bastard a good beating today!"
Bang!!!!!
Another strong kick.
Seki and Ikegami looked on helplessly as the shouting two boys were kicked aside. Their eyeballs rolled backward, and they fell onto the ground neatly.
It was too harsh.
In front of this great disparity in strength, Seki's and Ikegami's mouths were clearly twitching…
Can I cry?
