The day after the women drank the Superhuman Potion, the side effects of their enhanced bodies finally appeared.
They weren't serious side effects.
But they were troublesome.
When Shizuka opened a door, she crushed the doorknob by accident.
When Nojiko washed dishes, she tried to be as careful as possible, yet still shattered several plates.
Nami, as carefree as ever, broke a few tables without meaning to.
Even Robin, the most cautious among them, accidentally stepped through the floor of Nami's house.
All of it came from the same issue.
Their physical strength had increased too much.
And they couldn't control it yet.
With no other choice, Issho gathered everyone together and began intense physical training, demanding they fully adapt to their new strength as quickly as possible.
When Emiya crushed a teacup while drinking, he joined the training as well.
This time, Issho didn't just teach Fish-Man Karate.
He also began teaching Haki.
After drinking the Superhuman Potion, everyone's physical constitution had reached the minimum requirement to train Haki.
So Issho didn't hold back.
Along with combat experience, he taught them how to use Haki.
For those familiar with the story, Haki is a latent power possessed by all humans in the One Piece world.
It's an innate ability.
By manipulating fighting spirit, killing intent, or willpower, that power can be turned into a weapon.
This force is called Haki.
At first, Emiya wasn't sure he could awaken it.
He wasn't a native of this world.
What if he simply didn't have this innate power?
That wasn't impossible.
But reality quickly disproved that concern.
After a week of high-intensity training, Emiya was the first to awaken Haki.
Not Armament Haki.
Observation Haki.
Observation Haki allows one to sense the presence of others.
As it improves, the user can detect enemies outside their line of sight, determine their number, and even anticipate their next moves.
Emiya suspected he awakened Observation Haki first because his mental and psychic power were already far above average.
And because of that same mental strength, his Observation Haki grew at an astonishing speed.
In just a few days, its range expanded to one hundred meters.
Within that radius, no sound or movement escaped his perception.
Of course, this was still far from Issho's level.
Issho's Observation Haki could cover the entire island of Cocoyasi Village.
That level was simply absurd.
Three days after Emiya awakened Observation Haki, Robin followed.
But she awakened Armament Haki instead.
Based on Emiya's observation, it wouldn't be long before Robin also awakened Observation Haki.
After that, Nojiko and Nami awakened Haki as well.
Both of them awakened Observation Haki.
Armament Haki would take more time.
In the end, only Shizuka hadn't awakened any Haki.
That made her start to doubt herself.
Maybe she couldn't awaken it at all.
But when she remembered that Emiya had succeeded, she felt there was no reason she should fail.
So she trained even harder.
Hard enough that even Emiya found it surprising.
One evening after dinner, Emiya saw Shizuka still training and asked, "You're a teacher. Why are you pushing yourself this hard? Once summer break ends, you'll go back to Sōbu High School. Whether you awaken Haki or not doesn't really matter."
Shizuka glared at him.
"That's easy for you to say," she snapped. "You already awakened Haki. Of course you don't care. We're all training together, and I'm the only one who hasn't awakened it. Do you know how that feels?"
Emiya fell silent.
He did know.
Back in middle school, he had a few close friends.
They had similar personalities and promised to study hard together.
But people were different.
Some learned faster.
Gradually, Emiya and one other friend fell behind, watching the others surge ahead, reaching the top ten in class.
Meanwhile, Emiya ranked seventeenth.
His friend ranked twenty-seventh.
Holding his test paper back then, Emiya had felt an indescribable frustration.
Shizuka's feelings now weren't much different.
The difference was that Shizuka didn't give up.
She had stubborn persistence.
Emiya, on the other hand, had accepted being ordinary and stopped pushing himself, gradually becoming lazy.
Still, he never mocked those who worked hard.
In his view, people with dreams who put in effort deserved respect.
Even now, seeing Shizuka's determination, Emiya felt moved.
He respected her.
He even wanted to help her.
But he didn't feel any urge to suddenly become diligent himself.
A lazy personality formed over decades doesn't disappear overnight.
That wouldn't be human nature.
Maybe some people could change like that.
Emiya knew he couldn't.
Being lazy was fine, too.
Shizuka's effort paid off.
Not long after, she finally awakened Observation Haki.
She became someone who could truly use it.
Her strength also underwent a huge leap.
The most obvious result was that she was the first in the group to fully adapt to her enhanced body.
She was also the strongest in physical combat among the women.
Her Fish-Man Karate could unleash a one-thousand-tile punch.
That was still far from "Sea Knight" Jinbe's five-thousand-tile punch.
But it was more than enough to show her strength.
If she returned to the My Teen Romantic Comedy SNAFU world, she would be the strongest person there.
However, the fastest-growing person wasn't Shizuka.
It was Robin.
Not long after awakening Observation Haki, Robin successfully awakened Armament Haki as well.
She became the first among them to master both types.
Emiya had awakened Observation Haki first, but his physical combat training was only average.
He still hadn't awakened Armament Haki.
Issho believed that if Emiya continued training for another month or two, he would succeed.
But-
That was when summer vacation ended.
And the new school term began.
