Chapter 71 - Chapter 071: Himeno

Then she would just have to swallow her grievances.

Would Little brother Akira be that kind of person?

Yukinoshita Haruno wasn't sure.

But she could feel her dress riding higher and higher.

At this moment, Akira was using his Hand of Greed and Perception Manipulation in synergy, wanting to see what kind of reaction the "corpse" would have when both reached their limits.

"Hoo!"

"Hoo!"

Yukinoshita Haruno, lying on the bed, was like she had been electrocuted.

Her body tensed.

Twitching.

Her breathing was erratic, her chest heaving like a bellows.

A fine layer of sweat unconsciously spread across her.

The delicate structure below was a complete mess.

How…

How could this be?

Is this…

Is Little brother Akira this amazing?

Yukinoshita Haruno was going crazy.

If she could control her body right now, she would definitely be twisting into a knot.

Like a fish out of water, constantly thrashing.

Ah!

No.

Again…

Akira looked at the strands of hair on Yukinoshita Haruno's temples, matted with sweat, and found it quite interesting.

He hadn't expected the 'corpse' to have such a big reaction.

Completely different from Himeno's feeling.

However—

he couldn't continue the experiment now.

If he continued, there would be no way to accept relatively ordinary training in the future.

It would always have to be high-stakes.

Akira would certainly have no problem, but Yukinoshita Haruno was another story.

Hmm!

This is…

It's Little brother Akira.

Yukinoshita Haruno finally got a moment to breathe.

But it was only a tiny bit.

[Character: Yukinoshita Haruno]

[Potential: A]

[Loyalty: 80]

[Strength: 1.1]

[Agility: 1.1]

[Endurance: 1.1]

[Skill: Reading People]

[Evolution Charge: 1%... Charging]

[Status: In Training]

"Oh?"

"So that's how it is."

Akira felt very surprised.

After getting drunk, there shouldn't have been such a big reaction.

But Akira clearly felt that Yukinoshita Haruno's reaction was even greater than Himeno's.

Was it because he had adjusted Perception Manipulation to 199% just now?

Akira wasn't sure.

But for him, this was completely a good thing.

Yukinoshita Haruno.

The eldest daughter of the Yukinoshita Family.

In Akira's impression, she was also a relatively popular character.

But her potential and skills were very realistic.

Because it was an everyday world, they themselves didn't possess any particularly abnormal abilities.

However, Akira wasn't in a hurry.

With the existence of evolution, these characters still had a chance to turn things around.

Pfft!

Hiss!

Although no one could interact with him—

he even had to do it himself to conduct comprehensive training—

Akira didn't find it boring; on the contrary, it was a completely new experience.

Without external interference, he could focus more on the training itself.

Recording Yukinoshita Haruno's details and reactions.

This way, in the future, Akira would be able to instantly grasp key nodes and improve training efficiency.

Ah!

No.

That position… splash.

Others talked about juicers and such.

But Akira's evaluation of Yukinoshita Haruno today was: a sprinkler.

The kind that waters lawns.

It was simply a spectacle.

However, this also meant that in this double-bed room, only one bed could still be slept on.

Fortunately, there was another double room.

When they needed to rest later, they could go there.

Knowing the price of a normal capture ball,

Akira no longer intended to be frugal.

At least when there were no special skills and the potential was A, Akira would use a normal capture ball.

Thud!

The normal capture ball landed on Yukinoshita Haruno.

She was instantly taken in by the normal capture ball.

Almost without any surprise, she was successfully captured by the normal capture ball.

Akira glanced at Himeno's condition; she was still undergoing treatment.

So, Akira left the room and knocked on the door of the adjacent room.

The next moment, the door opened.

Angel forcefully pulled Akira into the room.

"Akira, come in quickly."

Click!

As the door closed, the training instantly began.

Although this was a normal hotel, the soundproofing was excellent.

However, Himeno's voice still faintly penetrated the wall.

Angel was not a naive, romantic Angel who knew nothing.

Moreover, after tasting the forbidden fruit, she became even more obsessed with Akira, this unique person.

When outsiders were present, she could still restrain herself.

But now, after Himeno's teasing and being in an environment with only the two of them, she was already impatient, flapping her wings wildly in the room.

"Ah!"

The incredibly beautiful Angel was so infatuated with such matters.

It somewhat aligned with her identity as an Angel-devil.

"Akira!"

Angel wished her entire being could melt.

Each movement of her wings was powerful and heavy.

The resulting wind blew the wall paintings up and down.

Thump, thump— it echoed.

Akira smiled.

Although this was the second training session, Angel's recklessness was simply inhuman.

If it could fit, Angel seemed to want to take everything in.

"Mm!"

"Akira, I've been waiting for you for so long."

"I can tell."

Her uniform had long been cast aside.

Now, Angel was as beautiful as an ancient Greek sculpture, a sight that inspired art.

"Are you and Himeno really together?"

"Yes."

"Then can you ask her not to resign?"

Akira nodded. "I've already established a scientific research institute today."

"It won't be long before many things change."

"At that time, you and Himeno can come to me."

"Mm."

"Akira, I love you to death."

Angel hung on Akira like a koala.

But in reality, her hands and feet became talons, and with the help of her wings, she had already lifted Akira into the air.

The powerful flapping of her wings echoed in the room.

Akira didn't need to exert any effort himself.

Angel completed sixty percent of the training on her own.

The remaining forty percent was due to her inability to manage both states simultaneously, forcing her to cede the initiative to Akira.

"Mm!"

"Akira!"

"Akira!"

[Character: Angel (Angel-Devil)

[Potential: SS]

[Loyalty: 100]

[Strength: 16.7]

[Agility: 16.8]

[Endurance: 16.8]

[Skill: Time Forging]

[Evolution Progress: 43%]

[Status: Exhausted]

The training limit had been maximized.

Angel's data changes were very gratifying.

She truly lived up to her SS-rank potential.

The points gained from the second training session had already reached 6 points in all attributes, closely catching up to Saeko Busujima, who had already evolved once.

Moreover, the Master Ball's boost was ten times.

This immediately revealed the terrifying gap in benefits.

However, once Akira took in these characters, he wouldn't let them guard an empty room, unable to sleep all night.

Even if an SSS-rank potential character appeared, Akira would still strive to maximize each character's training limit every day.

However, SSS-rank characters would have to wait a bit longer.

He would wait until he truly took over the Suou Family's power, then extract money from the hands of those wealthy individuals.

Then he would use the Master Ball to capture SSS-rank characters.

As for now, he could first acquire characters for normal capture balls and platinum capture balls to further enhance his strength.

After all, in this comprehensive anime world, one's own strength surpassed everything.

Thinking of this, Akira waved his hand and released Himeno and Yukinoshita Haruno.

Both of them looked at their bodies and the surrounding environment, both in a state of confusion.

Especially Himeno.

She covered her eye patch and cried out repeatedly.

After nearly two hours of treatment with the normal capture ball, her eye had completely recovered.

It was as if she had returned to the time before she made a contract with the devil.

"Master! What—what's going on? I can see!"

"Cough, cough—don't get excited. Listen to me."

Akira coughed twice, revealing the hidden secrets and critical implications.

After hearing what Akira said, Yukinoshita Haruno almost cried out.

Not only did she receive Akira's acknowledgment, but she also learned his secret.

Most importantly, she could be with Akira to gain power beyond ordinary people.

She flexed her palm.

She did feel stronger than before.

It was just that she was barely covered now, and she awkwardly clasped her arms.

Himeno was much more open.

She plopped down on the bed.

She directly used the Ghost Devil's ability.

"Master, my eyes haven't disappeared."

"Doesn't that mean I can make contracts with more Devils?"

"Or use more of the Ghost Devil's abilities?"

"Theoretically, it is indeed feasible."

"But the sword-wielding technique I told you about isn't baseless. It requires you to be extremely, extremely proficient in manipulating the Ghost Devil's power."

"Oh, oh, oh."

Himeno's face was filled with joy.

If Angel hadn't been right next to Akira,

she would have surely jumped up and hugged Akira, exclaiming, "This is great! And my body has become stronger, which will greatly increase my chances of survival."

"Oh? Didn't you say you wanted to be the madam of the Suou Family before?"

Himeno scratched her head and stuck out her tongue sheepishly. "Angel won't allow it, right? If I partner with her, I can just slack off from now on, which is actually pretty good."

"Hmm. However, if Dr. Genus's immortality technology could be popularized…"

"Angel wouldn't have to worry so much."

"If everyone is immortal, there's no need to worry about time being completely drained…"

"Then Angel can create any weapon she wants."

"Can immortality technology really succeed?"

Himeno couldn't believe it.

Once this technology is released and popularized, people who aren't killed won't die, and geniuses will have more time to reach greater heights.

But she couldn't even imagine what terrifying things would happen during this process.

"It can be done."

Dr. Genus has already mastered this technology.

It's just a matter of adapting this technology to people other than him.

Akira was so confident that both of them naturally believed that what he said would surely become reality.

Yukinoshita Haruno's mind quickly raced, and she immediately understood that this technology could absolutely not be popularized.

Because the higher-ups would never allow such a thing to happen.

"Little brother Akira, you must have already thought about the consequences of establishing a research institute to overcome this technology, right?"

"If it really succeeds, then the country…"

"No—even if there's a little progress, it will immediately attract the attention of the country."

"Don't worry."

"I have the strength to block everything outside."

Makoy's previous plan was to use this technology as bait, giving Dr. Genus time to create clones to replace the wealthy individuals.

In exchange, the wealthy would help Dr. Genus acquire powerful Devil corpses, or even live ones.

This would allow him to study the composition of Devil bodies to unravel the secret of their reincarnation.

As for why, Dr. Genus had not told Akira.

But Akira, who knew many pieces of information, could roughly guess some things.

It was because Dr. Genus had discovered that as genetic research became more and more thorough, he found that humans, and even Monsters, had limits.

It seemed like a boundary set by the gods.

The power that humans could obtain could never exceed those boundaries.

At least for now, Dr. Genus had not found anyone outside of the theory.

Akira was an exception.

He had a system and was not part of any power system.

As long as he continued to work and capture characters, he could continue to improve.

Theoretically, he had no limits.

However, Akira knew that his rate of becoming stronger had a limit.

Because the number of fused worlds in this world is limited, and the number of characters that can be captured is limited.

But now, Akira didn't need to consider any of this.

Yukinoshita Haruno saw the confident smile on Akira's face, and her heart settled a little.

"Since that's the case, I won't say any more discouraging words."

"I just hope that Little brother Akira can take care of the Yukinoshita Family more in the future."

"Care, of course I will care. But openly, it's not possible yet."

"The Public Security, the Hero Association, and the Jujutsu Association have all noticed me."

"If I openly take care of you, I'm afraid the entire Yukinoshita Family will undergo a major change by the next day."

"Wait a little longer. When you can all protect yourselves, you won't have to worry about these minor details anymore."

What Akira said was correct.

But if that were the case, wouldn't she have to be with Akira every day?

And her mother, her sister.

Thinking of this, Yukinoshita Haruno's face showed a strange and shy expression.

What kind of messy thoughts are these?

As Akira said, he could completely ignore the Yukinoshita Family.

The fact that he was willing to include the Yukinoshita Family was an immense kindness.

Even if Yukinoshita Yukino knew all this, she would never blame Akira in any way.

Yukinoshita Haruno had mentally prepared herself.

"Oh my~! So from now on, we'll be going against Public Security?"

Himeno reacted, suddenly blurting out, "It looks like I need to work hard—I need to infiltrate the enemy's high ranks."

Akira reached out and stroked Himeno's head, and she immediately slid into Akira's arms.

Akira didn't mind, letting her act mischievously beside him.

"Actually, there's no need."

"Public Security's power is actually greater than it appears on the surface."

"One could say that most of the country's affairs are now under Public Security's Domination."

Although she couldn't achieve the complete control that Akira remembered,

if she had the chance, she would definitely infiltrate the Hero Association and the Jujutsu Association.

Although the Hero Association has powerful heroes in charge, the administrative staff are just ordinary people.

Although the Jujutsu Association has been passed down for many years,

that doesn't mean there won't be some scumbag inside who cooperates with Makima.

And as far as Akira knew, there were many scumbags in the Jujutsu Association.

Too many to count.

"Huh? Why don't I feel that way?"

"With the Hero Association and the Jujutsu Association around, Public Security feels like an optional presence most of the time."

"The Public Safety Bureau represents the government. For this reason alone, it must exist, and continue to exist."

"You wouldn't understand the deeper things if I told you now."

"So, just remember one thing: increasing your strength is the ultimate path."

Himeno, who had been causing mischief, showed a look of understanding. "That last sentence is the essence."

"So, I'm going to dig in."

Yukinoshita Haruno stood by, flustered, but the next second, Akira had already placed the two of them on another bed.
