Kai couldn't help but wonder if he had already corrupted Reika. He shook his head to dismiss the thought.
He turned to Reika and asked, "Are you okay with what just happened?"
Reika smiled sweetly at Kai and nodded shyly. "I'm sorry, I got a little carried away in your embrace. Did I tease her too much?" she asked in a low voice.
Before Kai could respond, the Senior Sister who was with them chimed in, "I don't think so. All I could see was a woman who was caught off guard and decided to act tough to make her exit. Hehe." the Senior Sister giggled, trying to cover her mouth with her hands.
Reika noticed Lian Li's panic being concealed, but she wasn't completely sure. When her classmate confirmed it, she let out a sigh of relief.
The senior sister suddenly caught a glimpse inside the room and saw Reika's ex walking towards them, curiously looking their way. She felt a mix of panic and intrigue, eagerly anticipating another dramatic encounter between Kai and Reika's ex. But just as she was about to witness the drama unfold, she was interrupted by Kai's voice.
"Let's forget about this and go find Xia Chen. I made a promise with him," Kai insisted, tugging Reika along. They quickly made their way towards the first floor, where the first-year students were usually found.
Reluctantly, the Senior Sister followed the couples. Although she was disappointed to miss out on the drama, she still wanted to know more about how Kai and Reika met. So she decided to engage them in conversation, asking about their meeting and other details. Reika, feeling shy, made up a few fictional details, wanting to keep their unique meeting a secret.
As they reached the second floor, the Senior Sister excused herself, mentioning that she had a brother in the second year waiting for her. It was just the two couples now.
When they finally reached the corner of the school where there were no students around, Kai and Reika took advantage of the moment to satisfy their longings for each other. Their bodies merged together, their lips locking in deep kisses, and Reika couldn't help but let out soft moans of pleasure as Kai's hand wandered down to her perfect buttocks, gently kneading it. The sound of their passionate encounter echoed through the empty corridor.
After their desires were temporarily fulfilled, they reluctantly separated and continued their journey, walking hand in hand. As they walked, Kai decided to fill Reika in on what happened earlier. He told her about the mission Rick had given him, causing a worried expression to form on her adorable face.
Reika tightened her grip on Kai's hand as she spoke up, expressing her concerns, "Isn't it dangerous? I know you're strong, but still..."
Kai tried to reassure her, saying, "Don't worry, it should be fine."
But Reika couldn't shake off her worries. She shared some information she had gathered from Lian Li, about the delinquents in their school. Apparently, two years ago, there was a strange phenomenon where many high schoolers suddenly gained exceptional fighting abilities.
Some even became famous professional boxers or martial artists while still in high school, and they were called 'The Awakened'. They said that that time was the start of the golden era in this country, which shook the world. This also caused a rise in bullying, as those who had gained power used it to torment the weaker students who hadn't been affected.
"Oh! So there's a story behind it. That's why that guy looked like an adult already despite him being only a first-year student," Kai says as he nods, absorbing the new knowledge he just learned.
And he continued, "Now that you mention it, two years ago was also the time when Rick took me as his disciple. Am I one of them? But he said earlier that I'm different from them. What does that mean?"
Reika looks at Kai, recalling the secret he just displayed to her. "Is it maybe because of your secret? Maybe Rick knows about it? Did you tell him about your secret?"
"No, I didn't tell him. I don't think that's the reason though," Kai rejects the idea.
'Since I got the system just yesterday,' Kai adds in his mind.
"Forget it. Don't worry about it. You already know how freaking strong I am, right? I'll be needing this to protect you too," Kai said as she pulled Reika into a hug.
And he continued in a soothing voice, "I want to build a place where you guys can live happily. If cleaning those assholes is necessary to achieve that, then I'll gladly do it."
His words warmed Reika's heart, understanding the motives driving him towards this dangerous mission. With closed eyes, she could feel the love radiating from Kai and it elevated her feelings for him even more. When she opened her eyes, a determined glint flashed in them, and she made up her mind.
"T-then Kai-kun. How about teaching me how to fight too?" Reika spoke with a low voice, laced with determination.
She was afraid of rejection, fully aware that if she learned how to fight, she would accompany him and be entwined in his dangerous world, facing all those gangs and unruly troublemakers.
Hearing her request, Kai's mind suddenly sifted through the knowledge of the Cultivation Method, a reward that awaited when Reika's Romance points reached a hundred. Curiosity got the better of him as he opened the system, checking Reika's progress. To his dismay, her Romance points were stuck at ninety-nine percent. Despite the Conqueror's effect of the system, it hadn't budged an inch for quite some time.
However, when he glanced down at Reika's cultivation, his eyes widened like saucers, and his mouth hung open. The revelation before him was astonishing.
Name: Sakazuki Reika
Age: 18
Conquered: 100/100
Romance: 99/100
Status: Taken
Cultivation: 85%
Kai couldn't believe his eyes. How in the world had he managed to land someone with such incredible strength? Her cultivation percentage stood at an impressive 85%. She was almost as strong as him at that time!
It made no sense why she acted weak when she possessed such power. Kai was baffled, unable to comprehend how he had gotten his hands on her so easily. She should have been able to resist even with the system's assistance.
