"Ayato?" said Hina as she saw me walk into the classroom. She gripped my hand tightly so I kissed her forehead and told her not to worry.
"Don't do this again…" this time, it was Shiina who was stopping me. I was supposed to kiss her on the forehead, but she pulled me and kissed me on the lips instead. Wow, she's bolder than the other girls. And, does this mean she likes me? I'm happy.
She let my hand go after that and told me to not push myself.
I should seriously stop this though. Worrying the girls this much.
I caught Nana just when she was about to fall down and laid her beside Hina using [Flash]. Alright, here I go.
I extended my hands forward and used the new skill, [Light Bullet]. Since there was already a hole on the wall, I made a bullet as large as a truck outside of it. I began to compress the bullet as I also made it larger to make it have more speed and so that the golem wouldn't see it. While doing so, I looked at the golem. It had a huge chunk of it taken away by Nana's attack earlier. No wonder it lost half of its Hp. Can I even do that much damage? Think of something Ayato…
Something that will make this even more powerful… Should I combine it with [Blue Flames]? I decided to give it a try. It was now a light blue bullet. It may not look like much, but this thing took me 100 Mp to make.
>Skill[Holy Bullet]acquired.
I then made a finger gun to just add flare and shot the [Holy Bullet] towards the golem's head. Bullseye. As soon as the bullet hit, the golem's head exploded to a million pieces followed by its whole body. The debris began to fly all over the city, but luckily the Protective Department arrived and blocked the debris using [Barrier]. I want that skill, but being greedy is bad.
However, it wasn't over yet. Why? It was because there was a huge red ball floating where the golem's chest was supposed to be. This must be its core. I readied myself and used [Flash] and [Air Walk] to dash to the core and try to destroy it. I could have just used [Holy Bullet] again, but the charge time was too long.
Once I was near enough, I punched the core with all I've got with my gauntlets equipped. I've even accidentally used 3x of [Multiply]. It didn't even crack. However, my head suddenly felt like it was being invaded. A moment later, I started spewing blood as a message came to me.
>Resisted [Mind Control]
Hp: 100/200
'Damnit, why does it have mind control? I took a lot of damage as well. I didn't think this through again, didn't I? Damnit!'
As I was thinking that, I felt a strong force push me back. I was sent flying back until I hit a barrier made by one of the Protective Department people.
Hp: 50/200
It hurts!
I checked the Hp of the core and saw that it was only 1,000 now. While doing that, a sharp tentacle came out of the core and came right at me. I instinctively reached out my right hand and used [Nullification]. I accidentally used it at full force. The tentacle and the core disappeared in an instant as its Hp hit 0.
"That worked…"
[??? Exp received! Congratulations for reaching Level 100! All stats have been maxed out. The Player can no longer level up.]
"What the hell?!" I couldn't completely hide my surprise. I mean, I reached the max level. How was that not surprising?!
Level: 100
Hp: 9,900/9,900
Mp: 10,000/10,000
Str: ???(MAX)
Def: ???(MAX)
Int: ???(MAX)
Sta: ???(MAX)
Agi: ???(MAX)
[All skills are now at max level.]
Oh goddamnit. This is just some bullshit now. Where's the fun in being powerful if you didn't work your ass off for it. However, I was more worried about what the next message was saying.
>Curse[Nullification] has been upgraded to Curse[Destruction].
My whole arm from the elbow down became pitch black and it felt like it was being burned. Or at least it should have been that way. The pain only lasted a bit. I looked at the last message and wasn't even shocked anymore.
>Skill[Regeneration] acquired.
>Skill[Pain Nullification] acquired.
…
The list continued on and on. This is getting ridiculous. I'm really not sure how to comprehend this. Especially since one week from now is the training camp. I'm already too powerful. I'm even more powerful than Nana.
"Ah, right. I need to cover my arm up now. At the very least controlling it is the same as always."
I looked around me and saw everything was in ruins. I don't wanna see this. I thought of going back to the school and in a flash, I was already in front of Hina, Nana, Shiina, and Lucy. I'm even gonna question how that happened, I'm just really mentally tired. Seems like leveling up heals me only physically and not mentally.
I was all wobbly, and before I noticed it, I already lost consciousness.
---
I was back at my apartment. I guess they brought me back. I looked outside the window and saw that it was already night time.
"...Ayato," said Hina as she saw me sitting up. I waved at her with an awkward smile.
She ran to me and gave me a tight hug. I hugged her back. The other girls came and hugged me as well. They kept calling me an idiot and I was just taking it. I worried them too much this time. I need to make up for that. Alright, I've decided. After my date with Hina, I'll take the other two on dates as well.
We ate normally after that. Still though, Shiina's cooking has improved. When she first came here, she didn't even know how to cook. Believe me, that one time she was on cooking duty was a disaster.
Anyways, they asked me what was up with my hand over dinner and I told them that my skill [Nullification] turned into [Destruction].
"Isn't that really bad?" said Shiina. The other two nodded. I agree with them. If I couldn't control this power, I could accidentally destroy things that I love. Although, I told them to not worry about it.
I should seriously be careful though.
