Time flowed by, and soon it was dismissal time.
After that, Tatsuma, using the reason that he had a special ability to help people activate potential, granted the Swift as the Wind trait to Yuji.
[Traitgranted successfully, click to view target panel.]
[Yuji Itadori]
[Race: Human]
[Strength: Level 2]
[Traits: Swift as the Wind (Green), Slash (Blue), Poison Immunity (Blue), Athlete (Purple)]
[Slash (Blue): Consumes a certain amount of energy to unleash slashes. The more energy consumed, the more slashes and the greater the power.]
[Poison Immunity (Blue): Possesses extremely high resistance to various poisons and, to a certain extent, increases resistance to curses.]
After granting the trait, Yuji's panel appeared before Tatsuma.
In addition to the newly granted Swift as the Wind, Yuji also had three other trait: two blue and one purple.
For an ordinary person, this panel was already quite luxurious.
However, just as Tatsuma thought this was everything, Yuji suddenly let out an exclamation.
"Wow, Tatsuma, you're amazing!"
"I just thought you were bluffing when you said you could activate potential, but I didn't expect it to be real."
Tatsuma said, "Naturally, I never lie."
Yuji asked, "Speaking of which, the consumption of this slash technique is huge. Is there a way to reduce the consumption?"
"Hmm?"
Looking at the several slashes appearing beside Yuji, Tatsuma fell silent.
Brother, what's going on with you?
Yuji had the Slash Technique on him. Tatsuma had already realized this after seeing the other party's panel.
However, what Tatsuma couldn't understand was how Yuji had suddenly awakened it.
He hadn't awakened it in the past dozen years, nor had he awakened after being possessed by Sukuna and waking up. Why did he awaken it at this specific time?
Could it be... that people who are given traits by him will also activate their other traits?
"Looks like I need to try a few more times."
"Hmm? What are you saying, Tatsuma?"
"I said congratulations on your awakening. From now on, if you don't understand something, you can research it yourself. Don't come and ask me."
"Wow, you're so heartless."
Yuji scratched his head. "Aren't we good friends? At least help me out a bit more."
Tatsuma shrugged, "I'm very busy. I don't even have enough time for training every day."
Yuji said, "Alright, then I can only find Gojo-sensei. He seems quite professional."
"Gojo-sensei?"
"It's the man with the eye patch from yesterday. He told me a lot of things. He helped explain most of the stuff about Cursed Spirits."
Yuji pulled out his phone and shook it. "We even added each other as friends before he left. We chatted for a long time last night. He's really super nice."
Then you didn't hear the conversation between him and Megumi.
Tatsuma thought for a moment and said, "If he asks you how you awakened, just say you naturally awakened after waking up. Don't reveal my ability."
Yuji gave an OK gesture. "I understand. Don't worry, I won't tell anyone about this even if I die."
"Then I'll leave it to you."
Tatsuma waved goodbye and headed to the Occult Research Club. When he arrived, Rias and the others were already sitting inside the club room.
After greeting them as usual, Tatsuma went to the newly established equipment area not far away to prepare for training.
However, just then, Rias called him over. "Tatsuma, I found you a new teacher."
"New teacher?"
"Yes, I think you need to learn to improve your overall perspective so you can react more easily when encountering sudden situations."
"That sounds somewhat reasonable." Tatsuma nodded and agreed.
There weren't many Dragon God Level powerhouses in this world, but there were many powerhouses of the next level. Even someone as strong as Trihexa was sealed and besieged in the original story.
Before becoming strong enough, improving his combat awareness was a good choice.
After getting Sona's schedule, Tatsuma thought of Yuji's matter just now and asked, "By the way, Rias, I awakened a new ability that can help people activate potential. Do you want to try it?"
"New ability?"
Rias was a bit surprised.
Is something like an ability awakened just like that?
Why did it feel like it was as common as a candy according to Tatsuma?
However...
"Activating potential sounds quite interesting. Let's try it a little." Rias agreed.
"Wait a moment."
Tatsuma opened the trait storage and scanned it.
[Body Contraction (Green): Consumes a certain amount of energy to change one's body shape. Can increase by up to 50% or decrease by 50%.]
You're the one!
Choosing a trait that could directly show a change, Tatsuma reached out and placed his hand on Rias's head.
[Trait granted successfully, click to view target panel.]
Boom!
The moment the system prompt sounded, a roar echoed in Tatsuma's ears.
A wave of air blew in his face, and bright red demonic power surged from Rias's body.
"It seems my previous guess was correct."
Facing this sudden anomaly, Tatsuma verified his guess while looking at Rias's panel.
[Rias Gremory]
[Race: Devil]
[Strength: Level 3]
[Traits: Body Contraction (Green), Pure-Blooded Devil (Purple), Power of Destruction (Red), Good Fortune (Red), Exterminating Princess (Red)]
[Pure-Blooded Devil (Purple): Devil blood contains immense potential. Magic recovery speed +100%, Training effect +300%.]
[Good Fortune (Red): Favored by the world, luck greatly increased. More likely to encounter good things in daily life.]
[Exterminating Princess (Red): Demonic power capacity greatly increased, demonic power quality greatly increased. Inhibits recovery effect after dealing damage to enemies.]
After viewing Rias's traits, Tatsuma finally understood why the commotion was so big.
Excluding the Body Contraction which was just for show, Rias's original traits were one purple and three red, which could be said to be extremely luxurious.
If it weren't for the Limitless Potential given by the Starter Gift Pack, even Tatsuma's panel would be suppressed.
"Tatsuma, your new ability is so strong."
On the other side, having controlled all the newly added demonic power in her body, Rias opened her eyes, looking excited.
"My demonic power scale instantly expanded by two or three times just now."
"Oh, right, I also awakened a new ability that can change my body shape."
As she spoke, Rias activated the power of Body Contraction, and her body began to slowly shrink.
Two seconds later, a small loli with red hair appeared before Tatsuma.
"How is it?"
"Very cute, I like it." Tatsuma gave a thumbs up.
"Ahem, it's good that you like it." A blush appeared on Rias's face.
(FBI! OPEN UP!)
Besides her father and brother, this was the first time a member of the opposite sex had praised her so directly.
After deciding to research this new ability more when she got home later, Rias restored her body to its original state.
"Oh my, President, are you shy?" Akeno, who was attracted by the commotion, chuckled and teased.
"I'm just not used to the new ability yet." Rias casually found an excuse.
"Akeno-senpai, do you want to try my new ability?" Tatsuma asked.
"Of course I can't miss the opportunity to become stronger, but does using this ability continuously not put pressure on you?" Akeno asked.
"No problem, it's very easy." Tatsuma walked over actively.
