Paramecium (Kiana):"Whoa—wait, WHAT?! That's over a trillion GCP in one go! Are you some kind of walking treasure chest, Leader?!"Paramecium (Kiana): "And you can still keep them after selling? That's… that's so unfair! I trained all week just to improve my aim and you're over here casually throwing around god-tier powers!"Paramecium (Kiana): "Hmph! after chat group give us a mission, I'm totally going to outshine you! Just you wait!"

Nah I Win: "Ok kiana i will wait haha"

Miss Pink Fairy (Elysia): "My my~ Jay-kun, you really do enjoy making an entrance, don't you? A martial art that can shatter reality, a forbidden art that rips away mortal limits, a divine body… and an ocular treasure?"Miss Pink Fairy (Elysia):  "That's dangerous~ and oh-so fascinating. I wonder what kind of hero — or villain — you plan to be with such gifts?"

Nah I Win: "Miss Pink Fatty dont slander me i'm not a villain! well my world is dangerous there is galaxy overlord alien that i need to beat up"

Miss Pink Fairy (Elysia): "Haaah?! P-Pink Fatty?! How rude!"she crosses her arms and pouts, cheeks puffed outMiss Pink Fairy (Elysia): "You take that back, mister 'Leader'! Hmph! Now you'd better let me see this so-called alien when you fight it, or I'm not forgiving you!"

Nah I Win: "ok, im sorry okay"

Icy Airhead Sister (Lavinia):"Ara~ Such confidence… or perhaps recklessness. Selling something that could destroy continents as if it were a cup of tea. Still… I can't deny it makes things more interesting."(she smiles faintly, already considering how the supernatural factions in her world would react to a sudden influx of god-tier abilities)

Nah I Win: "Miss Laviana i'm doing this to make myself money after all i need to survive too, by the way this method can be done by you guys too plss dont hesitate at all. This group purpose to help each other"

Lavinia's smile deepened. He wasn't bluffing. The way he spoke, she could tell he genuinely saw the group as allies — for now. That made him less of a reckless merchant and more of a player with a plan. And players with plans… were always fun to watch

Edgy Zero (Lelouch):"Hmm… In any war, these abilities would be decisive. The fact you can sell them without losing them makes you unpredictable — and unpredictability is dangerous. Tell me, Jay… are you planning to arm others, or just show off your wealth?"

Nah I Win: "No Mr. Lelouch im not directly showing off my abilities after all i too just got my cheat today."

the words 'just got my cheat today' triggered a dozen possibilities. Either Jay was telling the truth and his growth curve would be terrifying… or he was hiding the extent of his capabilities. Either way, he was someone Lelouch couldn't ignore.

Edgy Zero (Lelouch): "I see. Then I look forward to observing your… progress."

Siscon Mahesvara (Shiba Tatsuya):"Limitless spatial control, ocular mastery over all energy forms, Ki manipulation beyond perfection… These are compatible with my magic casting systems. If your data is accurate, I want a field test."

[3rd Person Perspective]

The chat went quiet for a moment after the final notification.

Even Kiana, normally the fastest to spam the chat with half-joking comments, seemed to be doing mental math. Her eyes widened again when she realized the number wasn't a typo.

1,002,100,000,000 GCP.

That wasn't just "a lot" — it was enough to buy high-end skills, weapons, and items for the entire group several times over.

Kiana broke the silence first, her competitive spark flaring.Paramecium (Kiana): "Okay, fine! You're rich, you're strong, and you're flashy! But next time, I'm getting the top score on our upcoming mission! Don't think I'm just going to let you hog all the glory, Leader!"It wasn't hostility — it was pure challenge, the kind she threw at anyone she considered a rival worth chasing.

Her eyes sparkled with genuine fascination. She'd met countless strong people before, but Jay was different — he wasn't just powerful, he made power feel effortless. It wasn't arrogance; it was the kind of natural presence that drew people in without him even trying. And for Elysia, that was far more interesting than raw strength alone.

Lavinia's expression didn't change, but her calm smile softened. Jay wasn't giving off the vibe of a reckless troublemaker — if anything, he felt like someone who actually cared about the group's well-being while still knowing his own worth. In her eyes, he was the kind of ally you could rely on in a fight… and tease during the quiet moments. Powerful, generous, and with just the right amount of mystery to make things fun.

Lelouch, ever the tactician, kept his voice composed, but his mind was running at full speed. Jay could empower allies… or enemies. Either way, he was a piece on the chessboard Lelouch couldn't afford to ignore.

Tatsuya had no interest in the politics swirling in the others' minds. All he saw was potential — systems to integrate, abilities to analyze, techniques to refine.

[Group Chat]

Paramecium: "Leader, do you even need GCP anymore? That's basically infinite money!"Miss Pink Fairy: "It's not about need, Kiana-chan~ It's about style."Icy Airhead Sister: "Ara… or temptation."Edgy Zero: "Or leverage."Siscon Mahesvara: "Or utility."

Nah I Win: "Or fun."

That last line from Jay drew mixed reactions.

Elysia's smile widened.Lelouch frowned, storing the answer for later.Tatsuya noted it without comment.Lavinia just chuckled.And Kiana… well, she was already typing something about "mission revenge."

The atmosphere of the chat had changed.Jay wasn't just "the leader" anymore.He was a centerpiece — a source of unimaginable power, wealth, and potential influence.

And every single one of them, in their own way, had decided the same thing:

Jay Oosuki was someone they needed to watch.
