Puff! Puff!
[Loyalty: 80]
"Ah~!"
"No."
"I just…"
[Loyalty: 83]
Splash!
In the bathtub, Akira stretched his body.
"You scoundrel. I'll bite you to death."
Kirisu Mafuyu regained some strength and bared her teeth in Akira's arms.
"Eh? You still have the strength to shout?"
"You wait!"
Akira made to get up.
Kirisu Mafuyu was terrified and immediately pleaded pitifully, "Akira, I admit my mistake. I admit my mistake."
Although the feeling of flying was great, always flying in the sky made Kirisu Mafuyu a little scared.
Although they all said there were only cows that died from exhaustion, no fields that were plowed to ruin—this saying had no effect on Akira.
No matter how good the field, he would plow furrows into it.
"Hmm. I'm giving you time to rest, so rest well. If you're still stubborn, I'll immediately enforce family rules."
"I understand, Akira."
"Hmm, good girl~!"
"Mmm~!"
Just that one touch, Kirisu Mafuyu's heart jumped to her throat.
But she actually didn't dislike this feeling.
It was clearly so intense just now, but now, she actually—
No.
It can't continue.
[Ding! Character temporary mission: No Escape has been completed.
[Congratulations to the host for receiving the reward: Platinum Capture Ball × 1]
Huh?
It seemed the Jujutsu Association had already dealt with the Crying Baby Cursed Spirit.
"Mafuyu-chan, I have good news to tell you!"
Looking at what Akira had hidden beneath the water, Kirisu Mafuyu muttered inwardly.
It couldn't be…
"Akira, what's the good news?"
"Your curse has been lifted."
"Huh?"
Kirisu Mafuyu was stunned. She had thought it was… she hadn't expected it to be genuinely good news.
"Akira, how did you know? Can you tell just by looking at me?"
Akira nodded. "And I can also tell that you've almost fully recovered."
"Huh? Akira, wait a moment—"
"Ah~!"
Before Kirisu Mafuyu could finish speaking, the training resumed.
[Character: Kirisu Mafuyu]
[Potential: A]
[Loyalty: 86]
[Strength: 1.9]
[Agility: 2.0]
[Stamina: 2.1]
[Skills: Proficient Figure Skating (Proficiency 63%), Passing on Knowledge and Imparting Skills]
[Evolution Charge: 15%]
[Status: Exhausted]
After glancing at Kirisu Mafuyu lying in the bathtub, Akira's mind stirred, and a classic normal capture ball appeared in his hand.
With a gentle toss, the water rippled.
Kirisu Mafuyu immediately transformed into light and was drawn into the capture ball.
The red and white ball sank to the bottom, and the breathing light flashed three times.
Kirisu Mafuyu's panel immediately appeared before Akira's eyes.
Because it was a normal capture ball, Akira's stats did not increase, but two skills changed and integrated into his body.
[Proficient Figure Skating (Proficiency 63%)] upgraded to [Figure Skating Emperor] .
This skill wasn't very useful. The key was the upgrade of Passing on Knowledge and Imparting Skills.
[Passing on Knowledge and Imparting Skills] upgraded to [Teaching According to Aptitude] .
[Teaching According to Aptitude: Use appropriate methods to impart knowledge or training, increasing knowledge transfer efficiency by 20%.]
Not bad!
Teaching According to Aptitude.
It wasn't just about imparting knowledge—it also included training.
This meant that in the future, when he trained, he could reach the training upper limit more quickly.
This way, he could train more characters.
Although they were all characters, each character had their own unique characteristics.
Just like the saying: there are no two identical seashells in the world.
Only Akira himself could truly appreciate the different flavors.
With increased efficiency, he would be able to experience more of the world's diversity and different flavors—helping more characters grow stronger.
What a great skill.
Truly a great skill.
Akira dried himself with a towel, changed into his school uniform, and then went to the living room.
The living room was cluttered with many things, but it was much better than Akira remembered.
Perhaps it was because this apartment was larger than Kirisu Mafuyu's apartment in Akira's memory.
Originally, it was just a single room. But now it had a living room, and there was also a separate room inside.
However, if it was just this level, why would Kirisu Mafuyu be so resistant?
Akira casually picked up a bag of snacks from the coffee table.
Huh~!
It expires in a week. Should eat it quickly.
And while Akira was lounging on the sofa eating snacks…
Kirisu Mafuyu had already recovered.
Akira opened the normal capture ball, and a surprised Kirisu Mafuyu appeared in his arms.
"Akira, what's going on?"
"Why do I feel like I'm full of strength?"
"And my body…"
Kirisu Mafuyu looked at her private parts, still feeling incredibly strange.
It didn't hurt anymore.
If Akira hadn't been there, she would have wanted to check.
Had it been fixed there too?
"There's nothing strange about it."
Although he saw such expressions every time, Akira never tired of them.
He began to simply explain the whole situation to Kirisu Mafuyu.
"That's too evil."
"Akira, how could you be with so many beautiful girls?"
"Saeko Busujima, Kitagawa Marin, and even classmates who aren't in our class…"
Akira laughed heartily and pinched Kirisu Mafuyu's cheek. "You're still the homeroom teacher."
"So what? You're still obediently lying in my arms."
"Hmph~!"
Kirisu Mafuyu had nothing to say. Thinking about living with her students and Akira in the future, her head started to ache.
She was a teacher—her image would plummet in front of them.
However, it was good that being with Akira also allowed her to improve.
It wasn't all bad.
"Then… can we keep our relationship a secret for now?"
"I'm a teacher, and your homeroom teacher."
Akira chuckled. "Of course. It depends on your future performance."
Kirisu Mafuyu's face flushed. "I will definitely perform well in the future."
"Mm."
Akira patted her head. "Alright, it's getting late. I should go back."
With that, he stood up and took out his backpack.
Then he put on the glasses he had borrowed from Maki Zenin and swaggered out of Kirisu Mafuyu's dorm room.
Many of the people killed by the Crying Baby seemed to have been completely drained by that umbilical cord-like thing.
Akira wandered around and didn't even see half a ghost, so he got into a taxi and headed home.
The temporary mission was completed. He had gotten a very useful skill, a platinum capture ball, and the club application was approved—so he could start training in the activity room tomorrow.
And then… that crow that had been staring at Saeko Busujima should also be dealt with.
