Speed aside—as no other player had even broken the 3,000 mark—the most significant growth was his Divinity. With 85 points, Seito was only 15 points away from evolving the Spatial Dragon Tachi into a true Divine Artifact.
In terms of sheer destructive power, Seito estimated that even without using his "Kamui" ability, his pure speed would allow him to outrun a nuclear blast. However, he couldn't tank one head-on yet; he'd likely need a few more level caps to reach that tier of invulnerability.
He checked the Executive private channel. Everyone had made significant gains, with the entire core team now decked out in Unique Orange Sets. Kanade Tachibana's gear was a special case—her "Angel Set" evolved by devouring other items, and thanks to the guild's massive resource pool, it had officially reached Orange quality.
The Harbingers had cleared almost every major quest up to Floor 18. Rare materials were piling up, and Sora had already successfully crafted the guild's first piece of Gold-tier equipment.
"Time for some sleep," Seito muttered, stretching. His back-to-back boss clears had caused a literal meltdown on the internet. Players went from shock to disbelief, eventually settling into a state of collective numbness.
He logged out. He had a meeting with the Yukinoshita matriarch tomorrow, after all.
.....
Reality: Seito's Apartment.
As he pulled off the nerve-gear, Seito immediately felt a weight next to him. He looked over to see Kirukiru Amou already fast asleep, still wearing her helmet. He didn't say anything—if a girl goes this far, what is there to say? He simply let nature take its course.
He headed to the kitchen for a late-night snack. Ten minutes later, as the smell of stir-fried pork filled the air, both Amou and Kanade emerged from their rooms.
Kanade's face froze when she saw Amou walking out of Seito's bedroom. "Seito-kun... why was she in your room?" she asked, her voice tinged with a rare hint of anxiety.
"She went in there on her own," Seito replied truthfully.
"Don't be like that, Kanade-chan. You should just move in with us too," Amou added nonchalantly.
Seito nodded internally. As expected of my best friend—always looking out for my interests!
"Understood," Kanade replied with a deadpan, serious nod.
The three shared a quick meal before heading to bed.
....
The Next Morning, 8:00 AM.
Sunlight hit Seito's face, ending a sweet, restful sleep. He washed up and found the girls already awake.
"I'm heading to the Yukinoshita's today. You two handle lunch yourselves," Seito said, rubbing the sleep from his eyes.
"Okay. Not staying for breakfast?" Amou asked.
"Nah, I'll grab something with Haruno."
Seito stepped out into the hallway, only to see the neighboring door open. Haruno and Yukino stepped out, the elder sister yawning while the younger looked sharp and elegant.
"Seito-chan, you're up early~" Haruno teased. "Yukino-chan told me you usually sleep until noon."
Yukino's face flushed pink at the mention. Seito glanced at her and then back to Haruno. "Is 'Flatty' coming too?"
"My name is YUKINO!"
"Got it, got it~"
"..." Yukino glared at him. Her "good mood" for the day had officially evaporated.
They headed downstairs to a waiting black sedan. Haruno naturally took the front passenger seat, leaving Seito and Yukino in the back. As the car moved, Seito stared out the window at the passing shops, realizing he'd forgotten to buy breakfast.
"Here, your breakfast." Haruno handed back a sandwich to him and one to Yukino.
"Thanks." Seito started eating, occasionally glancing at the way Yukino ate—every movement was precise, elegant, and refined.
"What is it, Pervert-kun?" Yukino snapped, her cheeks heating up under his gaze.
"Just looking." Seito turned away, his mind wandering to some "famous quotes" from his past life.
Lu Xun: An elegant woman is the best choice for a wife.
Zhou Shuren: Agreed!
