"That's everything regarding the Underwater Hunt Test," Yu Han said after finishing explaining the exam details. He couldn't help but have his eye twitch upon seeing Akira, who was lazily listening to the explanation.
If he hadn't seen how this monster crushed Black Hole with his bare hands, he would never have linked him to the lazy man in front of him, who didn't seem to like doing anything.
'But that power is something that truly defies logic,' Yu Han thought in horror, as he was certain that Akira had killed him, yet here he was, alive again. 'Control over life and death—no one has ever had this ability in the entire tower.'
Yu Han couldn't help but feel tempted to ask Akira to join them, as he was certain that with Akira's power, Zahard wouldn't last long. But as soon as this thought crossed his mind, Yu Han quickly dismissed it without hesitation. After the recent incident, he knew the other man had a lot of pride and didn't like being ordered around by others.
"And now, everyone, you may leave. The test will begin in three hours," Yu Han said before leaving the hall, and the others began to depart one by one.
"I'll go talk to Yuri and tell her to finish up whatever she needs to before the test ends since we'll be leaving the tower once the test is over," Akira said as he stood up, not allowing Yuri to enter this place. "What about you guys?"
"I'll train a bit more on using magic power from the air, as this way my options in battle will greatly increase," Yukihime said as she stood up. In previous lessons, she had learned to use magic power from the air, or as people from the tower called it, Shinsu. "What about you guys? I recommend training with it, as it will be extremely useful for us in combat."
"I'm going to pass..." Akira said as he got up and walked toward the door, waving his hand. "I might train on it later, but I don't really need it since I have infinite magic power."
"I'll join you for training, Yukihime-san," Asuna said as she stood up to accompany Yukihime. She glanced at the departing Akira and commented, "But Akira-kun is amazing—he's younger than me and yet much stronger."
"Well, that guy is a special case," Yukihime smiled as she spoke, since when she had absorbed Akira's blood, she had gotten a clearer idea of his strength. "It's not just that he's talented due to his lineage; he must work hard to control his power. Great strength always destroys its owner and those close to them if they don't put in the effort to control it."
"I see..." Asuna murmured with some concern after hearing Yukihime's words.
"No need to make that face. It's obvious that Akira has full control over his power," Yukihime smiled as she playfully pinched Asuna's cheek, as this girl often worried too much.
"That's a relief to hear," Asuna smiled in comfort at Yukihime's words and then asked curiously, "By the way, Yukihime-san, how does someone get infinite magic power?"
"There are many ways, like devouring human souls. If a human soul is converted into magic power, it will produce a vast amount, and the person doing this could technically gain infinite magic power, as they would just need to keep obtaining more souls to endlessly replenish their magic," Yukihime explained, remembering someone who had done something like this. "Human souls not only grant you infinite power but can also make you immortal. As for Akira, when I absorbed his blood, I felt like his body was a third perpetual motion machine, and that's likely the reason he has infinite magic power. In theory, the third perpetual motion machine possesses infinite energy."

While the girls were talking about him, Akira was now sitting in the dining hall with Yuri, and they were eating spicy curry.
"We'll leave the tower after this test," Akira said, enjoying the delicious taste of the curry in his mouth, and continued, "So I suggest you finish up any business you need to before we return to my world, as I don't plan on working as a transporter to take you back and forth to the tower."
"Finally," Yuri smiled happily upon hearing that they would be leaving the tower. "I've started to get bored staying here. Talking with Androssi is fun, but there's nothing else to do, and you refuse to fight me."
"So, have you finished your business, or is there something else you need to do?" Akira interrupted Yuri's words, knowing that if this woman started complaining, she wouldn't stop anytime soon.
"Muh~ No need to worry, I told Evan what he needs to do, and he's already gone to take care of everything I ordered him to do," Yuri pouted slightly at being interrupted but answered truthfully.
"Good. As soon as the test ends, we'll leave. I don't plan on going to the Floor of Death anytime soon," Akira said as he wiped his mouth after finishing his meal.
"By the way, drink this," Akira said as a golden ripple appeared beside him, and from it, he produced a bottle of clear water and tossed it to Yuri.
"What is this...?" Yuri asked, staring curiously at the bottle. There was a strange aura coming from it, even though it appeared to be just ordinary water.
"Potion of Youth. I don't know if the tower's contracts are valid in the outside world, so drink this just in case. With it, you'll become immortal, never dying from old age, and you'll always retain a youthful appearance," Akira said as he grabbed his plates and stood up. "Whether you drink it or not is up to—"
Akira couldn't finish his sentence as Yuri had already downed the Potion of Youth in a single gulp.
"..." Akira couldn't help but feel amazed at Yuri's nonchalance or her overwhelming confidence in him. He wasn't sure which, but it was definitely something remarkable.
