[Skills: Flash of Inspiration, Skilled Writing (Proficiency 52%)]
[Evolution Charge: 45%]
[Status: Exhausted]
Compared to last time, her stamina had increased by 0.2.
Hmm. Earned with her life.
Looking at Kasumigaoka Utaha, who was nearly asleep in his arms, Akira thought to himself.
However, Kasumigaoka Utaha in this state had a unique charm.
Like a weak willow swaying in the wind—a small bird nestling against someone.
Let me see if the little bear is here today.
Not here.
Instead, it was a more convenient black lace series.
So Kasumigaoka Utaha had already thought about coming to find him this afternoon.
Tsk tsk. Quite self-aware.
What material was the mouse casing wrapped in a sailor uniform made of?
Eh!
A matching set.
As expected of a senior.
Attack speed gear maxed out.
Since that was the case, how could Akira disappoint his senior?
"Mmm~!"
Kasumigaoka Utaha slightly opened her eyes,
a hint of a lazy smile on her lips.
She leaned in toward Akira.
Although a bit muddled, she immediately grasped the key point.
Reversing the natural order.
Truly reversing the natural order.
As a Trainer, Akira could not tolerate this.
He immediately organized a counterattack, launching suppressive fire.
Even if the mouse packaging hadn't been opened, he couldn't care less about that now.
He directly maxed out the sensitivity, bought a rifle, and the crosshair floated across the screen.
Target acquired. He pressed and held the key.
"Mmm~!" Ah!
Even as Kasumigaoka Utaha surrendered, Akira would not accept it.
"I surrender! I surrender!"
"No. Not yet."
The charging progress was almost full.
"No. No."
"It's at 99%. Just 1% more."
Kasumigaoka Utaha was completely flustered. Her hairband fell to the ground, and she didn't even have time to pick it up.
Finally—
the charging progress, stuck at 99%, finally broke through to 100%.
At that moment, the champagne popped.
It surged forth.
"Ah!"
"Please maintain a physical link."
"Ding! Evolution begins."
In an instant, power was drawn from Akira's body.
A layer of liquid-like light swiftly enveloped Kasumigaoka Utaha's body.
Then, the light turned into a spectrum of colors and disappeared into her.
Kasumigaoka Utaha felt a surge of power integrate into her limbs and bones—like water directly cleansing her internal body.
In just a moment, she felt completely energized, with none of the usual fatigue after staying up late.
"Ding! Evolution complete."
"The results of this evolution are as follows."
[Character: Kasumigaoka Utaha]
[Potential: A]
[Loyalty: 87]
[Strength: 13.0]
[Agility: 12.9]
[Stamina: 14.3]
[Skills: Flash of Inspiration, Skilled Writing (Proficiency 52%), Focus]
[Evolution Charge: 0%]
[Status: Energetic]
"New skill—Focus: Allows one to wholeheartedly dedicate oneself to a task, reducing consumption by 30% during this process."
The moment he saw the settlement, all of Akira's power returned to his body.
The entire process actually happened in a flash.
"Bai!"
Kasumigaoka Utaha looked surprised.
But when she felt the localized high temperature,
she completely changed from her previous languid state. Kasumigaoka Utaha leaned in and whispered into Akira's ear:
"I'm full of vitality again~! Now I have endless energy."
Hoo~!
She blew a breath into Akira's ear and sounded the charge for a counterattack.
Pfft! Pfft!
"Hey, Senior, your training for today has reached its limit."
"Bai, I don't care! Even if the training is over, I still want it."
Akira smiled. "Then don't blame me for being ruthless."
The higher the dao, the stronger the devil.
Even with Kasumigaoka Utaha's current stats exceeding ten,
and even subconsciously entering a state of Focus—
she still quickly succumbed to Akira's training skills.
"Ah! Uh! Eh!"
"Wuwuwu…"
——————
Focus, Flash of Inspiration, Skilled Writing.
None of the three skills were combat-oriented, but the Focus skill could reduce combat consumption, making it a good auxiliary skill.
Akira thought for a moment and decided to give her a spot among the eight normal capture balls.
"Senior, congratulations. You've also gained the qualification to enter this."
The classic half-red, half-white normal capture ball—perfectly sized for Akira's palm—was tossed by him, gently landing on Kasumigaoka Utaha's body.
In an instant, Kasumigaoka Utaha, who was half-lying on the ground resting, transformed into a ray of light and was drawn into the normal capture ball.
The ball landed on the ground. After the indicator light flashed three times—
Kasumigaoka Utaha was bound to that normal capture ball.

Akira hadn't finished celebrating when the system prompts continued to pour in.
"Ding! Detected character: Kasumigaoka Utaha has completed evolution."
"Chain Quest: Evolution, completed!"
"Congratulations to the host for receiving the reward: Master Capture Ball 1."*
Woohoo~!

Akira excitedly willed it, and a purple-colored, heavy, mysterious sphere appeared before his eyes.
Tsk!
Akira played with it for a while.
He couldn't help but exclaim in his heart—this is classic!
