The cute golden-haired girl was momentarily stunned, clearly not having processed what was happening yet.
It wasn't until Yusei's laughter reached her ears that she snapped back to reality.
Her beautiful eyes couldn't help but glare at Yusei, mentally labeling him with two words.
"Pervert."
"Huh?" Yusei blinked.
"I said you're a pervert. A pervert who sexually harasses unfamiliar girls."
Yusei raised an eyebrow, looking quite unconvinced, "Perverts are those creepy old men, right? Do I look anything like an old man?"
"Hmph, you act like one!" The girl turned her head away.
Yusei shrugged, feigning regret, "Ha, and here I thought you said you were a kind, helpful girl. But you won't even agree to a small request. Turns out you're all talk."
The blonde girl's face flushed slightly, her small mouth muttering something, but she didn't reply to Yusei anymore.
She knew that saying more would only play into this guy's hands. It was better not to say anything.
Yusei also had no intention of teasing her further. Holding Kanna, he asked casually, "So, where are you headed?"
She thought of the perverts often reported on TV. Although she had just said Yusei acted like a pervert, that was just a casual remark.
But now... he was actually asking for her home address? No way she would answer! Even though this guy looks about her age, he could still be a delinquent.
Yusei gave the overthinking girl a strange look.
"Aren't you going home? The driver is waiting."
The driver just smiled and waved his hand.
"It's fine. Watching you two bicker adds a bit of fun to my otherwise boring drive."
The girl's face reddened, realizing she had misunderstood. She then told the driver her destination.
Yusei's destination was considerably farther than the girl's. So, since it was on the way, it was natural to drop the girl off first.
No one spoke for the rest of the journey. Yusei closed his eyes to rest. He was actually pondering a question.
Regarding the two abilities of his Mangekyo, specifically [Fantasy Replication]...
'Could it replicate ordinary abilities?'
The word 'ability' encompassed far too many meanings. Walking was an ability, firing energy beams from one's hands was also an ability.
Even sleeping should be considered an innate ability.
So Yusei was thinking, 'Could I replicate some basic everyday skills?'
Yusei looked at the driver beside him, his hands on the steering wheel, 'For instance, driving.'
Yusei quietly activated the Mangekyo in his left eye. The complex, snowflake-like pattern rotated slightly.
Immediately, something new appeared in his left eye.
[Alcohol Tolerance: Greatly increases resistance to alcohol. Currently enhanced to complete immunity to alcohol. Strong liquor cannot cause any physical effects.]
[Driving: Possesses the ability to drive small cars. Currently enhanced to proficiency with all types of vehicles.]
Below the Mangekyo Sharingan's skills, Yusei stared in surprise at these two newly added skills.
'Did it work? But what's with the 'enhancement'?'
But after a moment's thought, he understood. The driver he replicated was just an ordinary person with no inherent special energy.
Therefore, when he used these abilities through his right eye, they would be moderately enhanced based on his own energy.
And abilities that originally contained no energy, after being moderately enhanced by the right eye's Mangekyo's power, became top-tier.
Yusei became interested in his ability. This was really practical. The only pity was the limit of five slots, but they could be replaced.
After thinking for a moment, Yusei quietly used his ability on the blonde girl. He was quite curious to see what abilities she had.
In just a moment, he saw his skill bar fill up with more abilities.
This time, it directly filled the remaining three skill slots.
[Violin Performance: Possesses decent violin performance skills. Currently enhanced to top-tier level.]
[Illness-Prone: Frail constitution, prone to sickness. Currently enhanced to severe, hard-to-cure illness.]
[ALS (Slight): A slight case, but over time it will lead to muscle atrophy, limb weakness, and eventually be fatal. Currently enhanced to directly fatal.]
Yusei's face darkened slightly as he looked at the last two skills that appeared.
'Does this Mangekyo Sharingan replicate everything? Since when are manifestations of illness considered an 'ability'?'
Yusei thought about it carefully and realized that if one considered humanity's most prominent strengths or weaknesses...
Then what humans are best at, worst at, and most defined by could indeed be considered a kind of 'special ability'.
'Violin performance was probably this girl's greatest skill, right? And compared to other things like singing or dancing she might do, 'Illness-Prone' and 'ALS' were likely her most 'prominent' traits.'
'So, the Mangekyo Sharingan doesn't just replicate positive traits… it also replicates illnesses, flaws, and weaknesses.'
Yusei was somewhat speechless, 'What use did I have for replicating ALS and being illness-prone? It's not like I could use them on others.'
Yusei complained inwardly.
But then he suddenly thought of a problem and re-examined the description of his right eye's ability.
[Fantasy Manifestation: Can use the stored abilities. It can also perform proportional conversion of abilities that are either too costly or too low-cost to suit the user's own capacity. The power will be appropriately decreased or increased.]
''Can use the stored abilities'. Not 'use the stored abilities on himself'.'
'So, did that mean I could use [Illness-Prone] on someone else? Use [ALS] on someone else?'
The former, originally just being prone to illness, could now be enhanced to a severe, hard-to-cure condition.
The latter was even more powerful. Originally a slight case that would slowly become fatal, it could now be enhanced directly to lethal.
'Did that mean if I looked at someone I disliked and used my Dojutsu, that person would just drop dead?'
Yusei felt that his ability wasn't so useless in this everyday world after all.
At the very least, the range of 'abilities' he could replicate was extremely broad.
