Chapter 41 - Slowly Melting Mahiro's Heart Was The Right Step!
The appearance of the secret technique: Raikiri had undoubtedly raised Mahiro's lethality in battle to a new level.
If it wasn't for the fact that he had just gone through a battle and exhausted his stamina, he really wanted to try Raikiri's power with Yuuto.
"There is also a random skill card. Use it."
Mahiro directly chose to use the random skill card.
"Do you want to use the random skill card?"
"Yes."
"Consuming a random skill card will grant you the skill card - Shunpo."
"Shunpo?"
Mahiro felt a little familiar with the name and then opened the introduction of the skill card.
Item: Skill Card - Shunpo
Grade: D
Effect: Allows for quick movement over short distances, achieving an effect almost like teleportation.
Source: Bleach
Shunpo comes from the anime Bleach and is a necessary skill for Shinigami, with most Shinigami able to use it.
"I'd rather have Hirenkyaku."
Mahiro was very satisfied with the skill 'Shunpo.'
Shunpo is also an efficient skill in actual combat.
If used well, it can achieve unexpected effects and catch the enemy by surprise.
However, Mahiro wanted another skill in his heart - Hirenkyaku.
Both can achieve a near teleport-like effect, and they are all melee-specific movement skills.
But Hirenkyaku is higher in rank and can even avoid detection within a specific range, making it more effective.
Mahiro opened his character panel to see how the system rated him.
Host: Mahiro
Race: Human
Rating: 3 stars
Strength assessment: The comprehensive strength in this world can reach the level of Middle-Class.
Abilities: Intermediate Physique (D), Intermediate Swordsmanship (D), Intuition (D), Mystic Eye of Death Perception(Lite) (A), Secret Sword - Raikiri (D), Mystic Eye of Distortion (B), Shunpo (D)
Equipment: Longinus - Boosted Gear (A+), Refined Katana (F)
"Still 3 stars?"
Mahiro frowned and jokingly thought, "System, you're too strict."
Without using the 'Mystic Eye of Distortion' and the 'Boosted Gear,' Mahiro estimated that he should be able to compete with a High-Class Devil now.
However, the system's evaluation was still 3 stars.
Mahiro shook his head.
He had long understood the rules and strictness of the system's evaluation and wanted to see if it could be improved.
As expected, it was still 3 stars.
However, it didn't matter.
Evaluation is just evaluation and strength improvement is the main focus.
Ha-! Ha-! Ha-!
Mahiro's thoughts were interrupted by arrogant and excited laughter and the roar of demonic power collisions.
Akeno and Rias spread their wings and flew into the sky, unleashing their demonic power and attacking each other without restraint.
Akeno laughed wildly, her body covered in lightning. She was probably going to use her innate power—the holy lightning.
Magic circles appeared, and lightning bolts shot out, falling with terrifying destructive power.
The target of the lightning strike was Rias.
Opposite to Akeno, Rias was not to be outdone, her bright red hair fluttering in the wind like a princess returning from a bloodbath.
Rias's body was covered with red light, the power of destruction belonging to the Bael Clan.
As its name suggests, it carried an extraordinary power that destroyed everything.
Facing Akeno's attack, Rias remained calm and responded confidently with a smile.
A torrent of P.O.D. rose into the sky, swallowing up the lightning.
"So terrifying!"
Koneko had long since hidden to the side to avoid being affected by the battle.
If the holy lightning or P.O.D. accidentally hit her, there would be nothing to say.
"Still so reckless, those two."
Yuuto also hid aside and smiled helplessly.
Obviously, this situation was not surprising.
Mahiro looked at the scene illuminated by Holy Lightning and P.O.D.
He felt his heartbeat quicken.
These two women were so crazy. They didn't care about their surroundings at all, they didn't hold back, and they seemed to have the intention of killing each other.
If someone didn't know the two of them or their relationship, watching this battle would give the illusion that they were mortal enemies.
However, Mahiro was also surprised by the destructive power of the two.
No wonder, in many games, mages are more popular than warriors.
Looking at this gorgeous scene, one could understand a thing or two.
Moreover, the terrifying lightning and the red demonic power spoke for themselves regarding their lethality.
Mahiro knew he might suffer a significant loss if he took it head-on.
Holy Lightning and P.O.D. continued to clash, and explosions were heard, accompanied by Akeno's wild laughter.
The battle lasted for almost ten minutes and finally ended.
"It was a good vent, Rias."
Akeno folded her wings and descended from the sky, her face flushed with an unusual expression.
"Yeah, Akeno, it's been so long since I was so happy."
Rias also retracted her wings and landed on the ground, her face flushed and her breathing slightly labored.
The battle with Akeno had been quite exhausting.
She lightly straightened her long hair that had been messed up because of the battle, smiling confidently and calmly.
Mahiro glanced at the two of them speechlessly; it was just a fight, what was with this euphoric expression?
As for the battlefield.
It was a mess.
The training ground, which was originally flat, was now full of potholes and charred black holes, and the ground was cracked in several places.
Even the forest not far away had a small area cleared.
And these were all caused by Rias and Akeno.
Even though their attacks had canceled each other out a lot, the demonic power that splashed out still left the venue in shambles.
Fortunately, it was in an uninhabited area.
The consequences would have been unimaginable if it had been in the city.
"Mahiro-kun, what do you think? Demonic power is handy, isn't it?"
Akeno walked over to Mahiro's side, her breath still light, and said with a smile.
"It's gorgeous and powerful."
Mahiro nodded and said truthfully.
"So, why don't you give it a try?"
Akeno glanced at Mahiro.
Hearing this, Mahiro rolled his eyes.
She really didn't miss any chance to persuade him.
"Akeno, explain demonic power to Mahiro."
Rias said aloud.
In fact, she and Akeno had spared so intensely just now that, in addition to training, they also wanted to attract Mahiro.
Haste makes waste, and slowly melting Mahiro's heart was the right step.
