Chapter 25 - Chapter 23: Preparations (3)

Sylvie has a fixed schedule that she follows depending on her mood. During her time in Sir Ellis Kadoorie High, she always had a strict schedule for studying without giving herself any free time but after being befriended by Rei, she had adjusted her schedule to give her the freedom that she could enjoy like any other teens would've.

"Jeez… My legs are sore…" She muttered upon getting up from her bed as she looked over to her phone, checking her schedule for today. "Hmm… Rest day… Thank god…" Sylvie sighed in relief before stretching to at least get her muscles or joints to relax.

Sylvie felt a bit of exhaustion despite having a good night's sleep after training extremely hard yesterday prior to Rei's guidance. While she hates his extreme stamina for pushing her limits, it really did work out well in the end since she learned a thing or two for herself.

The first thing she did was to continue watching some videos that included the sports event of Kamigami Academy which she managed to find before telling Rei about it then sending the link to him.

After all, having some knowledge of what she was facing later on was much better than trying to adapt quickly which she had learned from her gaming experience prior to league of legends. "One on one matches… Racing course… Tag…" Sylvie listed the things that she had seen from the videos although she couldn't search for older ones probably from privacy and had only released the latest ones.

So far, she had only seen first year students to fourth year students for the event which had happened a couple of months ago before the summer break. Sylvie assumed it was to separate the fairness of the matches based on the experience since the fifth year and sixth year students had a lot of advantages.

"Looks like I just gotta try my best if this is the only thing that I could find…"

...…

Rei was having a dilemma with struggling over his own prowess. While he could amplify and hold at least four copies of mid-tier prowess at best, he still had problems with managing his spiritual energy with the amount of tasks that he had to deal with. His reserves were high but his output and execution were the problem since each copied prowess had different output and execution for both using its effect and holding on the prowess itself.

"Rei, are you alright?" Hinata asked while sweating as she wiped off her sweat after a couple of new exercises regarding both her physical ability and prowess ability.

"Yeah. Just troubles with holding onto the prowess that I copied." Rei responded before deactivating his prowess after training with her copied prowess and Erika's copied prowess simultaneously.

Erika handed Rei his water bottle as the guy immediately accepted it before drinking, satisfied and hydrated as he sat down at the bench.

"So, any breakthrough or success with your training?" The blonde asked before Rei sighed while pinching the bridge of his nose. "Somewhat? Cause I can hold on to the copied prowess perfectly but once I start using its ability, the spiritual energy that I focus on immediately gets pulled which drains me a lot almost instantly."

His response intrigued both the girls as they wondered what kind of training that Rei had to do in order to achieve such god-tier status over a ridiculous and complex prowess of his.

"I see. So, any idea how you could overcome it?" Hinata asked, curious for Rei's answer since mimicry type prowess is difficult and rare to exist nowadays.

"I'm probably gonna try to boost my output and reserves in order to get the right execution without being drained when holding the copied prowess and its ability." He answered before stretching as he started to train, quick jabs and dodges over his shadow boxing. "Either way, it's my spiritual energy that I need good control of rather than the prowess itself since I could just copy a healing or buff type prowess for recovery." He added before taking a short break from his shadow box training.

Rei observed the two girls on their training and exercise regime that he had advised them to do while he was taking a break, the conversation that he had with Sylvie kept on running in his mind. What was the type of woman that he would prefer? A pretty and elegant one? Modest and carefree? Cute and bubbly? He knew that he had a spot for cute girls although what he preferred the most was the personality and uniqueness of themselves.

After all, if the looks are great yet the rest were bad, then it was definitely a bad taste for him to consider himself in a relationship even if he was not interested in it in the first place.

"Man. Focus." Rei muttered to himself after being self conscious for staring at the girls for too long when he had dozed off before he went back to train himself again although those thoughts wouldn't go away since the ancient being that resided within him continued to speak about them in his head nonstop which was distracting from half of his training.

Hinata and Erika had left the training room soon since they were exhausted from the entire training in which Rei understood since he had such a high stamina when it came to training or in general for going longer in extreme workouts or activities.

"Guess like I'm just gonna head to the gym to finish my workout for today since I've done enough with my prowess." Rei muttered to himself as he left the training hall, grabbing his water bottle and his personal belongings such as his student ID card and wallet.

...…

Rei let out a sigh of relief after finishing his entire workout and training for the day, tired and satisfied with how he managed to complete most of his desired tasks for the day. "I should probably take a rest for tomorrow. Been doing a lot of things for a while." He thinks to himself, clearly adjusting his pacing so that he doesn't overwork himself immediately since it has been almost a month for now.

With his successful streak of catching up with the curriculum of the academy prior to Sylvie's help then his further advanced training with Rinka and Eunji's guidance, he was set and ready to enjoy his new life in Kamigami Academy.

His preparation for the event was complete since his training with spiritual energy manipulation itself for his prowess was enough already, especially with a new discovery that he had found after being frustrated with the ancient being where he lashed out in the training hall which had destroyed the faux boulder.

It was totally different from what he knew about his own prowess before hiding it and only using what he knew for now. "Let's ace this sports event!" He thought to himself positively before the ancient being shut him down by reminding the latter of his current status.

Maybe he needs to find a way to shut the mind between him and the ancient being first after the sports event. After all, Rei clearly needs privacy with his own mind especially when the latter could see and hear everything which made himself aware of his own conscience.

"Shall I call her?" Rei asked himself while ignoring the ancient being's voice in the background who was complaining about the tension between him and the magenta haired girl.

"Who am I kidding? Of course, I'm gonna call her!" He smiled to himself as he walked his way back to the dorms but he had to take a shower first before calling Sylvie once he arrived at his dorm.

...…

The ancient being could only groan in annoyance since they would witness the atrocious, suspenseful and sweet scene between the mimicry user and the magenta haired girl.

"God, fxcking damnit!"
