On the second floor of the villa, Yuto Saito sat comfortably on the sofa, reviewing his personal stats. Having just copied Nako's flying ability, he gained a substantial boost of 40 attribute points. With Nazi joining the team, she contributed an additional +10 to all attributes, pushing the total bonus even higher.
He spent 100 experience points to upgrade his flying ability from LV1 to LV2, which significantly improved his speed. This upgrade also granted him 20 more attribute points. Altogether, Yuto Saito gained 100 free attributes from this wave of improvements.
Smiling, he opened his personal panel:

In just two days, Yuto Saito had reached the peak of 9-star strength. With the help of the system, progress had been swift and powerful.
However, he only had two copy cards left, and he decided to use them wisely. Though tempted to copy Orange's talent for heightened hearing, he chose to wait. Since she was already a member of the team, he could copy it later if necessary. For now, Orange's keen sense of hearing was an asset for the whole group.
Yuto also considered his storage rings. The remaining ring had been promised to Xian, and he planned to gather more rings soon to accommodate the growing team.
Curious about the team's strength, Yuto reviewed the members' stats:
Captain: Yuto Saito
Team Members:
Yun Yun — Combat Strength: 616 (6 stars)Ni Shuang — Combat Strength: 510 (5 stars)Natto — Combat Strength: 408 (4 stars)Mina — Combat Strength: 472 (4 stars)Orange — Combat Strength: 470 (4 stars)Ruoruo — Combat Strength: 452 (4 stars)Nazi — Combat Strength: 410 (4 stars)
Even the weakest team members were at least 4 stars, giving Yuto confidence that they could face formidable threats, like a fourth-order human-faced spider, without fear.
Yun Yun's voice echoed from downstairs, calling, "Xiaotu, it's time for dinner!"
Yuto stood up, gesturing to Nazi. "Let's go eat."
Still in a state of shock from her sudden boost in strength, Nazi nodded. "Oh, okay."
The two descended to the dining room, where the others had already set the table. Eight of them sat down, enjoying the spread of delicious food prepared by Yun Yun and Orange.
"Wow, this looks amazing!" Ruoruo exclaimed, her eyes shining. Ni Shuang beamed, delighted to see her favorite braised pork ribs.
Mina, taking a bite of prawns, sighed with satisfaction, "I haven't had such a delicious meal in ages."
As they ate, the conversation flowed easily. Nazi expressed her gratitude to Ruoruo and Ni Shuang for helping her join the team, and they teased her about her hesitation.
"You're lucky," Ruoruo laughed, "If you had waited any longer, you might not have made it in!"
Natto chimed in, happy to finally reach 4-star strength thanks to Nazi's contribution. Although Natto wasn't an Awakened like the others, Yuto reassured her that her efforts to collect information and maintain the floating island were invaluable.
The meal ended with smiles and laughter, and Yuto took Nazi aside to explain their next mission. "We're heading to the capital, but we need you to stay behind. Watch over the school and keep collecting spar."
Nazi nodded in understanding. She would also keep an eye on Xian and any potential threats that could arise in their absence.
With a clear plan in place, Nazi left the floating island and returned to the girls' dormitory. As she reflected on Yuto's intentions, she realized he had positioned her not just to gather resources but also to safeguard the school and its students from any lurking danger.
She felt the weight of her new responsibilities but was determined to prove herself worthy of Yuto Saito's trust.
