Abilities: Emotion Perception, Photographic Memory, One Leaf Blocks the Eye, Diligent Progress (Passive)
Wish Power Points: 0
The results of this gacha pull were quite good. Including the 1 Wish Power Point from Hikigaya, he got two golds in ten pulls.
One of them was a passive skill called Diligent Progress. As the name suggests, one of Mori Shinra's abilities would improve every day, and the specific ability that improved was related to what he had put his efforts into that day.
In other words, if Mori Shinra's main focus for the day was on studying, then after midnight, the knowledge he had learned that day would be further enhanced.
Although it seemed simple and unadorned, it was actually a very practical ability, much more useful than One Leaf Blocks the Eye.
Regarding One Leaf Blocks the Eye, aside from being useful for hide-and-seek and hiding things, Mori Shinra had yet to find any other use for this ability.
The other gold was not a specific ability, but rather ability points, mainly used to add points to already acquired abilities, thereby upgrading them into advanced skills.
Regarding which ability to upgrade, Mori Shinra had almost no hesitation in using it on the newly acquired 'Diligent Progress'.
After all, whether it was Emotion Perception, Photographic Memory, or the task reward One Leaf Blocks the Eye, these abilities were too specific, their usage scenarios were too singular, and their growth potential was limited.
As for the newly acquired Diligent Progress, just from its description, it was clear that this ability was a growth-type, with almost infinite potential. Furthermore, it was a noble passive skill, meaning it wouldn't take up any of his spirit quota.
After all, as Mori Shinra acquired more and more abilities, his spirit power of 17 points, which seemed to have increased a lot, was really only equivalent to extending the duration of Photographic Memory by three hours. It couldn't even achieve 24/7 coverage.
After using the ability point on Diligent Progress, Mori Shinra felt a shiver run through his body, and then the ability section changed. The original Diligent Progress was directly renamed to Heaven Rewards the Diligent after the point was added.
Its overall ability also underwent a drastic change, from improving a specific ability every day to gaining returns as long as he worked hard.
Not only was the time limit removed, but it also directly changed from improving a single ability to an all-around improvement.
The effect of this was worlds apart.
In short, the improvement brought by this point addition exceeded Mori Shinra's original expectations. He was quite satisfied.
Therefore, after obtaining this ability, Mori Shinra couldn't wait to turn on his game console and start a familiar game.
Helm Breaker, awesome!
After an hour of playing, Mori Shinra evolved from his original state of missing nine out of ten Helm Breakers to a folding-style long sword master—no matter how he did it, he always landed the Helm Breaker!
To this, Mori Shinra couldn't help but ask, if every long sword user had this ability, would they still be called long sword shrimps by other classes?
Sigh, the long sword.
Turning off the TV, Mori Shinra went to his room and changed into sportswear. With a super-spec ability like Heaven Rewards the Diligent, he didn't plan to spend his entire precious weekend playing games.
Regarding the previous bet with Yukinoshita, Mori Shinra admitted that he had somewhat underestimated the sport of tennis. But now, with this ability, Mori Shinra felt that he had perhaps underestimated his own system.
This isn't my limit yet!
The only unfortunate thing was that Yukinoshita Yukino seemed to have family matters today and was picked up by Haruno, so he couldn't have her give him extra lessons over the weekend.
But it wasn't a big deal. Mori Shinra had already mastered most of the theoretical knowledge of tennis, and he could practice the rest on his own.
Should I drag that guy Hikigaya out?
That guy should be really eager to get his revenge in tennis, right?
Thinking this, Mori Shinra's fingers had already sent the message.
But the reply was that he had to take Komachi to cram school, so he was busy.
Mori Shinra found it strange. Didn't Komachi go to cram school by herself before?
Hikigaya quickly cleared up Mori Shinra's confusion. That was because he didn't know about Kawasaki Taishi's existence before.
Heh, the ugly side of a sis-con.
Since he couldn't count on Hikigaya, Mori Shinra had to go out alone.
Arriving at a nearby tennis club, Mori Shinra directly booked a court specifically for hitting against a wall.
Without a training partner, practicing against a wall was the best training method, and the price was much cheaper than booking a standard tennis court.
Entering the club, Mori Shinra found that there were more people playing here on the weekend than he had imagined. Almost seventy percent of the courts were in use, and there were even more people in the public rest area.
However, most of these people hadn't broken a sweat. Compared to practicing, they seemed more like they were here to enjoy the scenery.
As for what scenery... let's just say those who know, know.
What a bunch of perverts who have strayed from high-class tastes. Mori Shinra was ashamed to be associated with them!
"Oi, look over there, she's super hot, man!"
"For real? Whoa... Sugoi!"
Mori Shinra's ears twitched. Although he was full of disdain, his eyes moved before his brain could react.
Looking in the direction these people were facing, a beautiful golden figure appeared in Mori Shinra's vision.
A pink sun visor, a light blue polo shirt, a pure white tennis skirt. As the racket moved, her well-proportioned figure and slender, shapely long legs were perfectly displayed. Just by looking at her back, you could tell that her looks couldn't be bad either. It was almost as if a tennis model from a magazine cover had come to life.
And she didn't just look good. Whether it was the crisp, clean motion of her swing or the nimble, deer-like footwork as she moved, it was clear that she was no amateur.
No wonder these well-versed old tennis experts in the rest area were so flustered. After all, you don't see someone of this caliber every day.
Among them were some who thought highly of themselves and walked up to her court, trying to strike up a conversation with the girl through the fence, attempting to invite her to their own court for a practice match. After all, it would be a waste for a beautiful girl of this level to be hitting against a wall by herself.
Then, without exception, all these people were rebuffed. A few who wouldn't give up tried to pester her, and then they witnessed the fury of the Queen of Flames. After being thoroughly scolded, under the watchful eyes of the burly security guards, they left the club in disgrace.
The farce ended, and looking at the beautiful girl who had resumed her practice, Mori Shinra's expression was a little strange.
There was no other reason than the fact that Mori Shinra knew this person.
Miura Yumiko, when did she arrive?
