After that, Megumi Katou asked for the Healing Touch Skill but didn't ask for the Greater Fireball Skill. It seems she also had her own goals and development plans.
None of the three chances for Greater Fireball were used, but the Healing Touch had one chance used by both Megumi Katou and Seryu. A Skill's value lies in its quality, not quantity—unless your strength is overwhelmingly powerful.
Seryu needed this Skill, of course, to help her companions and the injured. When she was a member of the Imperial Capital Guard in the Akame ga Kill! world, she frequently encountered injured people and could only worry, at best taking them to a doctor. Now that she had such a good Skill, she naturally wanted to learn it.
"Little Megumi, I'll give you these Shoes of Swiftness! I remember that when the Invisibility Skill is used, your speed drops significantly. Wearing these shoes will help boost your speed quite a bit."
Lin Feng said as he took a pair of Shoes of Swiftness from the void and walked over to Megumi Katou, handing them to her.
"These shoes will automatically adjust to fit you and can also transform into any style you want, so don't worry."
Seeing a slight hesitation in Megumi Katou, Lin Feng thought she was worried about the shoes' rather flamboyant appearance and explained some of the shoe's other minor features.
"Thank you, Lin Feng-kun! I will treasure them!"
Megumi Katou's face flushed slightly upon hearing this, and she dared not look into Lin Feng's eyes. She quickly took the Shoes of Swiftness from his hand. Her initial thought had been exactly what Lin Feng explained.
"I want them too!"
Hayasaka Ai shouted, turning to look at Lin Feng with a bit of envy when she saw Megumi Katou receiving such good equipment as a gift.
"I don't have any more. There was only one pair."
Lin Feng could only tell the truth. He had only drawn one pair of this item, and unlike Sonic Leap, he couldn't replicate it three times.
"Then, then I want to reserve the next pair! Will you give it to me?"
Hayasaka Ai's shrewd little eyes darted around. She then tightly wrapped her arms around Lin Feng's right arm, swaying her body back and forth while whining flirtatiously.
"Alright, alright, please let go for a moment. I have something important to do: summoning a new companion for you all."
Being hugged this intimately by Hayasaka Ai was nothing like being hugged by Megumi Katou or the others; even though she looked well-developed, it was all padding!
"A new companion?!"
The four girls present couldn't help but focus their attention on Lin Feng when they heard his words. Hayasaka Ai's hands also instinctively loosened, and she didn't even notice.
"Mmhmm!"
Lin Feng wasted no time and immediately activated the summoning circle, initiating a new round of summoning.
...
The sky was gloomy and gray. The sunlight was obscured by gray, misty air. Students who were trapped inside the school and couldn't leave occasionally heard screams echoing through the building.
"Hurry up! We can't let Komuro Takashi's efforts go to waste!"
A clear and icy voice echoed through the hallway. The girl, dressed in a sailor uniform and a green half-length skirt, held a wooden sword and guarded the entrance to the corridor, urging the girls behind her.
Their plan to break out today had failed again; this was the third time.
Saeko Busujima watched as everyone slipped into the room. After carefully checking that no Them (corpses) were following them, she quickly darted in and barricaded the door.
"Saeko senpai... if we weren't slowing you down... you would have escaped this place long ago."
The genius tsundere girl at that moment showed no trace of her usual haughtiness. She curled up, hugging her knees, her beautiful face utterly devoid of color.
"We will definitely get out of here alive."
Saeko Busujima knelt down near the door to rest, looking at the two girls and one spacey teacher in front of her, speaking with absolute conviction.
Tonight was another restless night.
Saeko Busujima looked at the three girls who were irresistibly weary and had fallen asleep, then gazed out the window at the gloomy scene, lost in thought.
"I want to gain power..."
Saeko Busujima slowly closed her eyes, her heart seemingly sending a request to the Gods, to Heaven: she wanted the power to protect others.
A beam of blue light shone upon Saeko Busujima in the room, and she instantly vanished from her spot, though the world she left behind seemed to enter a state of stasis.
Meanwhile, where Lin Feng was, the summoning circle in front of him also glowed with a blue light. A beautiful female figure, kneeling on the floor with her eyes closed, appeared before everyone.
Just as Lin Feng was about to speak, Saeko Busujima, kneeling on the floor, suddenly opened her eyes. Her deep blue eyes locked onto him.
"Please excuse my rudeness, Lord God."
The next second, she instantly reacted. The person standing before her was none other than the Lord God she had just received memories of—the one who could help her gain powerful strength and save her companions.
So, she placed the wooden sword she had been holding onto the floor on her right side and bowed to Lin Feng in apology.
Lin Feng immediately recognized who the girl in front of him was: the legendary Saeko Busujima Senpai. Lin Feng almost called out the word "Senpai" but, being a God now, he forcibly swallowed the two syllables.
"Saeko, you don't have to be so formal. I will give you the Falna that will make you strong, and then we will be family in the Familia."
Lin Feng reached out with both hands, pulling the kneeling Saeko Busujima to her feet, looking into her eyes as he spoke.
"Thank you, Lord God..."
"My name is Lin Feng; you can just call me by my name."
"Lord God..."
Seeing Saeko Busujima's demeanor, Lin Feng decided to let her address him as she pleased for now. After all, didn't Hayasaka Ai and the others mostly call him that too?
Saeko Busujima, having been pulled up by Lin Feng, quickly noticed the school uniform she was wearing. It had been stained with blood from fighting the Them (corpses), but now it was perfectly clean, as if it had just come out of the factory.
But realizing that the person before her was a Lord God, what were a few stains? The Lord God certainly wouldn't allow such a highly contagious virus to enter this world.
With the help of Hayasaka Ai and the others, Saeko Busujima quickly and obediently lay down on the sofa in the middle of the living room, just as they had done, exposing her back and waiting for Lin Feng to bestow the Falna that would make her stronger.
The four girls—Hayasaka Ai, Megumi Katou, Seryu, and Kanae—encircled the two, watching the process as if it were a spectacle.
