"Underground space?"
"That's my private place."
"But... I can't say no to you."
Shutara Kyoraku's voice was as lazy as ever, but she showed no intention of refusing Fujimiya Makoto's request.
She merely glanced at Kumoi beside Fujimiya Makoto, then turned, her roller skates gliding toward the deeper entrance.
Kyoraku stopped at the entrance, looking at Fujimiya Makoto:
"I don't know what you're planning."
"But this space has limited capacity."
"Don't go too far."
"If you wreck my place, you'll face consequences."
The elegant beauty spoke, extending a bony hand.
At the tip of her finger, a long needle appeared.
Fujimiya Makoto didn't argue, simply agreeing:
"Don't worry!"
"Probably?"
Kyoraku narrowed her eyes, looking at him complexly.
This guy's words were never reliable, except when delivering bad news.
Fujimiya Makoto, however, said no more, leading Kumoi deeper underground.
Kumoi Kutsuzawa looked around, her innocent face filled with curiosity, interested in everything.
"I didn't expect such a large space to exist here."
"Is the sky a texture?"
"Are you starting now, Makoto-kun?"
Fujimiya Makoto stopped, hearing her voice, and turned, smiling at her:
"I've already started."
"Huh?"
Kumoi Kutsuzawa was taken aback.
Fujimiya Makoto looked at the panel, at the Talent Points he'd saved for so long, and sighed, shaking his head in resignation.
Why, Yhwach?
I wanted to interact with you all as an ordinary person, but in return, I received nothing but coldness and oppression.
Now, I'm done pretending! I'm going all in!
I'm a cheat character.
Assign points! To my ultimate talent!
The next moment, a violent surge of spiritual pressure, like boiling water, erupted from Fujimiya Makoto's body.
Talent Points -1
Spiritual Power: Third Class Middle → Third Class Upper
Unlike the smooth power increase from Bond Events after battles,
the moment the Talent Point was spent,
Fujimiya Makoto felt a massive, overwhelming spiritual pressure emerge within him, beyond his control.
The immense power seemed to wash over him from head to toe, renewing every cell, pushing his 'limit' to the extreme.
"Boom—"
Fujimiya Makoto's body seemed to lose control of his spiritual pressure in an instant.
His entire being continuously generated new, violent, impactful spiritual pressure reactions.
Huge amounts of reishi gathered, forming a pure, straight pillar of light shooting into the sky, using Fujimiya Makoto's body as its core.
Kumoi Kutsuzawa's eyes narrowed behind her glasses, staring at Fujimiya Makoto.
She hadn't expected his 'change' to take this form.
Even from a distance, it was clear that Fujimiya Makoto's skin—on his face, body, and limbs—was constantly peeling and regenerating amidst the terrifying spiritual pressure.
Standing at the center of a reishi beam hotter than flames, Fujimiya Makoto's expression was no longer visible.
Only pain remained.
However, his will remained clear.
Wall of Sighs
Final Dawn
Perfect Being
Three Bond Traits activated simultaneously.
The intense spiritual pressure reaction not only reshaped his spiritual foundation but also continuously forged his body.
Amidst this violent impact, Fujimiya Makoto showed no intention of stopping, acting decisively, even pushing further.
Talent Points -6
Spiritual Power: Third Class Upper → Second Class Upper
The moment the Talent Points vanished, not only Fujimiya Makoto, the vessel, but even Kumoi Kutsuzawa standing far away, could clearly feel the torrent of spiritual pressure erupting from his core, like a flood.
Kumoi Kutsuzawa looked at Fujimiya Makoto, seeing his body turn to dust like a dandelion in the explosive spiritual pressure, only to continuously regenerate.
"Whoosh—"
The airflow spreading in all directions flattened everything around them.
The once-spacious underground space now felt cramped under the extreme spiritual pressure reaction.
The uncontrollable atmospheric shockwaves spread further underground.
Kumoi Kutsuzawa raised a hand to shield herself.
Her eyes, behind her thick glasses, were cold and sharp, fixed on Fujimiya Makoto.
"Just the spiritual pressure aftermath is this intense?"
"What kind of power is this..."
Driven by intense emotions, Kumoi Kutsuzawa couldn't help but look up at Fujimiya Makoto.
Her pupils constricted.
