Due to time constraints, Akira couldn't be so comprehensive.
So today, his training goal was singular.
Having formulated the plan,
Akira then proceeded according to the plan.
"Akira, don't…"
"No choice. Time is too short. I can only increase the intensity to compensate."
"But don't worry, I will absolutely not be biased."
"I will definitely max out the training limit."
After Akira finished speaking, he no longer paid attention to Kirisu Mafuyu's response.
Pfft! Pfft!
Hmph~!
Coming out of the normal capture ball,
Kirisu Mafuyu took out a tissue and began to clean up the messy scene.
"Hmm? Mafuyu-chan, you're not being good again."
Akira reached out his palm.
Kirisu Mafuyu immediately softened.
She had just recovered and didn't have time to continue arguing with Akira.
"Hmm, that's better. Good, it's all cleaned up."
Saying that, Akira pulled up his zipper. "I'm leaving first, Mafuyu-chan. See you later!"
The restroom stall door opened and closed, leaving Kirisu Mafuyu alone sitting on the toilet.
Ah~~~!
How could she let him succeed so easily?
But where on earth did he learn these techniques from!
Kirisu Mafuyu angrily put on her clothes.
[Character: Kirisu Mafuyu]
[Potential: A]
[Loyalty: 86]
[Strength: 2.1]
[Agility: 7.0]
[Endurance: 2.3]
[Skills: Proficient Figure Skating (Proficiency 63%), Passing on Knowledge and Imparting Skills]
[Evolution Charge: 30%]
[Status: Resentful]
The improvement from specialized training was indeed very obvious.
Kirisu Mafuyu's Agility increased from 2 to 7—a full 5 points.
Akira went downstairs and returned to the classroom.
Not long after, Kirisu Mafuyu stepped onto the podium just as the bell rang.
Having been trained by Akira, Kirisu Mafuyu's state at this moment was a bit frightening.
However, Kirisu Mafuyu dared not trouble Akira.
As a result, everyone else in the class suffered greatly.
"Akira, what's wrong with the homeroom teacher today? Did she eat gunpowder?"
Kitagawa Marin was called upon twice in class, and as soon as class ended, she found Akira to complain.
Akira almost laughed out loud, but the corners of his mouth still couldn't help but turn up. "Possibly. Maybe she ate quite a bit."
"I knew it!"
"By the way, Akira, are we training this afternoon?"
Kitagawa Marin's voice was very soft, but Saeko Busujima, who was nearby, still heard her.
"Akira, I want to train too. And I also want to learn Kendo."
"That slash last time—I understood some things. But I still want to watch it a few more times to deepen my impression."
Saeko Busujima rarely spoke, so Akira considered it for two seconds before nodding.
"Alright. But at noon, you two go to the rooftop first. I still have some other matters to attend to."
"Mm-hmm."
"Liar!" (broken Russian)
"Cough, cough, cough…"
Alisa, who had just approached, almost choked on her own saliva when she heard that sentence.
"Alisa, are you alright?"
Akira snickered.
"N-nothing. I'll be fine with some water."
Ding-a-ling-a-ling.
The bell for lunch break rang, and the campus erupted in cheers.
Kirisu Mafuyu stood in the office corridor, looking at the sixth floor with a gloomy expression.
During the last big break, Akira had already cleaned the activity room.
Without a doubt, that place would surely become Akira's base at school.
Saeko Busujima, Kitagawa Marin, Kasumigaoka Utaha—
they would definitely be there, being severely… "taken care of" by Akira.
Just as Kirisu Mafuyu was thinking about all sorts of strange things, a cry of alarm rang out in the corridor.
Kirisu Mafuyu turned her head and saw something flying toward her from the window.
Almost instinctively, she dodged.
In that instant, she moved half a meter sideways.
The food that should have landed on her splattered onto the ground with a squish.
"Sorry, my hand slipped just now!"
"Teacher Mafuyu, your reaction is so fast, and your movements are so agile."
"Hahaha, I exercise a lot at home."
Kirisu Mafuyu returned to the office with a smile to help get the cleaning supplies.
As soon as she entered, she looked at her palms in shock.
Do it and become stronger.
The enhancement today was quite noticeable.
This speed and reaction startled even her.
If she continued to do it with Akira like this…
could she also become an S-Class Hero?
As soon as she thought of this, Kirisu Mafuyu's mood instantly improved a lot.
Even Akira's face in her mind became more pleasing to the eye.
Whoosh~!
A gust of wind blew past.
Everyone on the rooftop had already sat down.
Alisa looked around but didn't see Akira. "Hey, where's Akira?"
"He seems to have gone to the restroom."
Saeko Busujima spoke, and a chilling aura instantly filled the air.
The three of them fell silent.
Just then, Kasumigaoka Utaha happily darted onto the rooftop.
"Akira?"
She didn't see the person she wanted to see, but instead ran into the somewhat awkward trio.
"Oh, what's wrong with you all? Did you have a fight?"
"Where's Akira?"
"Akira went to the restroom. He'll be here soon."
The chilling aura rose again, and Kasumigaoka Utaha also felt it, immediately swallowing her saliva and quietly sitting down with her pineapple bun and milk.
In the classroom at the far left end of the sixth floor, Akira sat on the gleaming desk, waiting for his beloved to arrive for their appointment.
Suddenly, a figure flashed past the window and came to the open door.
"Akira? Didn't you bring a bento?"
Kato Megumi stood at the classroom door with her bento.
The wind ruffled her short hair and lifted her knee-length skirt.
"Oh my!"
Although it wasn't the March Detective Slope—the romantic season of cherry blossoms—
this scene still touched Akira's heart.
"Is the wind this strong here?"
Kato Megumi mumbled as she walked into the classroom. The next second, her vision was filled by Akira.
"Huh? Akira! Why are you suddenly hugging me? Did something happen?"
Kato Megumi's voice was already a little shaky.
A blush appeared on her face, and her hands, holding the bento, were tightly clasped together.
There was surprise mixed with delight, and shyness mixed with joy.
"Nothing. I just couldn't help myself."
"Cough, cough. Akira, if you didn't bring a bento, I can share mine with you."
Kato Megumi didn't dare to continue the topic. Her beautiful eyes, like autumn water, gazed out the window as if there was something captivating out there.
"Okay. But wait a moment first."
Akira walked to the side, drew the curtains, and closed the classroom door.
Then he walked in front of Kato Megumi, took the bento, and placed it aside.
"Don't eat before exercise. Otherwise, the consequences will be severe."
"Ex… exercise?"
Kato Megumi looked left and right.
She then noticed that this classroom had been specially arranged by Akira.
All the other chairs were stacked against the wall.
Only a few were left in the middle of the classroom, arranged to form a bed-like shape.
"Yes, exercise. Now, I'll give you a warm-up exercise."
"And this exercise is the key to changing your current situation."
"Eh?"
"There… there's such a magical exercise."
Akira took Kato Megumi's hand. "Yes. It's that magical an exercise."
Watching Akira's eyes draw closer and closer, Kato Megumi's small hands nervously intertwined with his.
Mmm~!
Like boiling water poured into a slushie,
everything melted silently.
The final temperature was just right—warm and pleasant, making one indulge.
Kato Megumi closed her eyes.
But the sudden influx of boiling water made her instinctively shiver.
Hot.
So hot.
In an instant, it felt as if the air temperature around them was rising.
"Akira, do we really have to do it here?"
"Yes."
The atmosphere was there. How could it just stop?
"But this place…"
"This is a good place."
Akira took a small step forward, resting his head on Kato Megumi's shoulder.
"It's precisely because Megumi-chan has grown accustomed to an unassuming life."
"Although she now has the determination to take that step,"
"to see immediate results, she must undergo my training."
"Of course, this is not just training."
With the whispers in her ear, Kato Megumi felt like she was back to the state of lying on Akira's back during school.
No, this can't be happening.
It's so strange!
Her pearly teeth gently pressed against her lower lip.
Kato Megumi gritted her teeth.
Meanwhile, Akira had already unboxed the newly arrived stress ball.
He was under a lot of pressure right now.
He needed a stress ball to relieve it.
So Akira used every method he knew to torment the stress ball, releasing his pressure to his heart's content.
"Mmm!"
"Akira."
"Hmm, what's wrong?"
Akira's voice carried a playful tone.
Kato Megumi wanted to say something but couldn't utter a word.
So embarrassing.
This kind of thing should clearly happen in the bedroom.
But…
I can't refuse.
Even though it's the first time.
"Mmm!"
Everything happened too fast, somewhat catching her off guard.
[Character: Kato Megumi]
[Potential: A]
[Loyalty: 92]
[Strength: 0.8]
[Agility: 0.8]
[Endurance: 0.8]
[Skill: Perception Weakening (Proficiency 53%)]
[Evolution Charge: 1%... Charging]
[Status: Training]
Although the preparations before training were thorough,
considering it was Kato Megumi's first training session,
Akira still gave her some buffer time.
During this period, he maintained the training state while observing Kato Megumi's skill.
[Perception Weakening: Within a 100-meter radius, the perception of living beings toward the entity possessing this skill is reduced by 60% (must be cast with oneself as the primary target).]
Huh?
Akira was stunned. He looked again carefully.
It's an active, area-of-effect skill.
The range was a full two hundred meters in diameter.
Akira's system radar was only 40 meters in diameter.
As expected of the plain heroine.
This skill is simply heaven-defying.
Although he knew Kato Megumi would definitely have a skill that reduces her presence,
Akira never imagined this skill would be like this.
Moreover, this skill had been with Kato Megumi since childhood, and once activated, it had never been turned off.
The reason Kato Megumi was overlooked now was largely due to this skill.
So.
Is such a good ability worth a platinum capture ball?
Not to mention, with this ability, one could openly follow any character home, essentially becoming invisible.
Even in a direct battle, it could create trouble for opponents.
After being upgraded, this skill should become even more potent.
However, training could continue now, so let's finish training first.
Kato Megumi had just begun to adapt.
Akira suddenly broke the calm surface of the lake.
Puff.
Hiss!
"Akira, this… this won't do."
"But to solve your problem, it has to be this way."
"But next door are other clubs' activity rooms. We'll be heard!"
"There's a classroom in between. Don't worry, they won't hear us."
"Mmm!"
"Don't!"
Kato Megumi gritted her teeth.
Her hands were tightly intertwined with Akira's.
Pfft! Pfft!
[Character: Kato Megumi]
[Potential: A]
[Loyalty: 92]
[Strength: 1.8]
[Agility: 1.8]
[Endurance: 1.8]
[Skill: Perception Weakening (Proficiency 53%)]
[Evolution Charge: 19%]
[Status: Exhausted]
Looking at Kato Megumi, whose breathing was even,
Akira's thoughts stirred, and a brand new platinum capture ball appeared in his hand.
Besides Saeko and Marin, Kato Megumi was the third character to qualify for a platinum capture ball.
The data and such could be put aside for now.
But this skill—it had to be powerful.
With a gentle toss, the platinum capture ball struck Kato Megumi's form.
Amidst a jiggle like jelly,
the platinum capture ball emitted a ray of light, drawing Kato Megumi into the ball.
The light flashed three times.
A surge of power immediately welled up within Akira's body.
[Host: Akira]
[Occupation: Trainer]
[Strength: 99.2]
[Agility: 107.6]
[Endurance: 101.5]
[Skills: Trainer Basic Skill LV2 (Proficiency 21%)]

[Language Mastery (Proficiency 20%)]
...
"Congratulations, host. Perception Weakening (53%) has been upgraded to Perception Manipulation."
[Perception Manipulation: Allows subjective manipulation of any target's perception of the host, which can be increased or decreased by 99%; the stronger the target's strength or the more intense their will, the lower the manipulation effect (can be released in an area, radius 1000 meters).]
Woohoo!
What a good skill.
An excellent skill. This was a big gain.
Akira joyfully released the ability immediately.
Within a thousand-meter radius centered on Akira, all living creatures' perception of him decreased by 99%.
Now, even if he walked out without clothes, no one would see him.
However, what would happen if he came into contact with other people in this state?
Akira looked toward the office. A thought surfaced in his mind.
After lunch, Kirisu Mafuyu lay sprawled on her workstation, resting.
Of course, she could also drive back to the teachers' apartment to rest like her colleagues.
But after personally experiencing the Crying Baby incident, she felt that the school was far safer than the apartment.
Although that guy Akira always bullied her,
with him around, Kirisu Mafuyu didn't worry about her safety at all.
It was just that thinking about the intimate scenes that might occur in the activity room,
she felt a little hot.
Unable to calm down and rest.
At this moment, Kirisu Mafuyu suddenly noticed some rustling sounds from the papers on her desk.
Having faced Cursed Spirits head-on, her hairs immediately stood on end.
No way!
It was daytime, and at school no less!
Could a Special Grade Cursed Spirit have appeared at school?
If a Special Grade Cursed Spirit appeared, why hadn't Akira noticed?
Akira, help!
Help!
Kirisu Mafuyu's fingers were trembling, but she still managed to reach for her phone.
And pressed speed dial.
Buzz buzz buzz~!
The sound of a phone vibrating suddenly came from the air.
Then the phone's ringtone abruptly blared.
Frightened, Kirisu Mafuyu didn't even dare to raise her head and rushed directly toward the teachers' door.
As long as—
as long as she reached that place—
But in the next second, Kirisu Mafuyu crashed into a warm, firm embrace.
"Akira~! There's a Cursed Spirit here!"
"There's a Cursed Spirit here."
Kirisu Mafuyu was utterly flustered.
Akira laughed. "I am that Cursed Spirit."
"You just called me. Very good."
Seeing Akira take out his phone, which displayed her contact,
Kirisu Mafuyu immediately realized that the vibration and ringtone just now were from Akira.
"Ah, you can't scare people like this. I'll bite you to death!"
Mmm~!
In less than ten seconds, Kirisu Mafuyu's attitude softened.
"You guy, mmm~!"
Kirisu Mafuyu's heart rate began to soar again.
"Aren't you going to train with those few? Why do you have time to come over?"
"Because I discovered something very fun."
Thump, thump, thump~!
As they were talking, a knocking sound came from the door. "Teacher? Is the teacher in?"
"Let go quickly. Someone's outside."
Kirisu Mafuyu lowered her voice and struggled in Akira's arms…
