Feini's arrival made Mоду instantly wake up, and as a mage, even in a sacred place, he remained vigilant.
"Who?"
Modu jumped down from the bed, and his hands instantly opened the Gehgador Ring. When he saw the figure in front of him, he asked in surprise: "Feini!?"
"Cough, it's me!"
Seeing Modu's expression, Feini became embarrassed because he didn't know how to explain the current situation. With a hint of a kind smile, he said: "I said I just wanted to secretly put a fried chicken roll on your bedside table, do you believe it?"
Modu, if he wasn't still asleep, would not believe such nonsense. His face turned black as he asked: "So late, what are you doing in my room?"
"Want to guess?"
Feini tried to use his charm to get past the situation.
Modu frowned, and after realizing it was indeed Feini, he dispelled the Gehgador Ring on his hands and walked closer to ask: "What's going on?"
"Sorry, my mistake, I disturbed you, see you later!"
After finishing, Feini immediately turned around and used the Dance of Empty Space to quickly escape, leaving Modu standing in stunned silence.
After escaping from Modu's room, Feini had nothing to do. The current Kamataji was still in the middle of the night, and it was some time before dawn.
Helpless, Feini went to the Himalayas to practice his abilities alone. Modu's experience gain was slightly less, so he had to practice his skills to make up for it.
Under the night sky, from the 'Golden Tai Chi Technique' to 'Explosive Magic', Feini carefully practiced each skill, and time passed quickly.
After watching a beautiful sunrise in the Himalayas, Feini returned to Kamataji.
"Good morning!"
Feini greeted Modu as if nothing had happened.
It seemed that as long as he acted naturally, he could pretend that the previous incident never occurred.
But unfortunately, Modu, who was supposed to cooperate, ignored him and asked with a hint of anger: "Feini, what were you trying to do earlier? This could be considered as an enemy's action."
"Accident, accident, it was really an accident."
Feini knew he had done something wrong this time and walked towards Modu with an apologetic expression. He summoned a 'Ji Memory Fried Chicken Roll' and handed it to Modu, saying: "Next time, I absolutely won't do this again."
For Modu and Wang, there was nothing that a fried chicken roll couldn't solve. If there was, then two rolls would do.
Looking at Modu, whose expression improved after receiving the fried chicken roll, Feini let out a sigh of relief. If he hadn't been so anxious to draw his sixth skill, he wouldn't have been so desperate as to run to Modu's room.
After Modu finished his breakfast, Feini immediately and impatiently invited him to battle: "Let's go, let's exercise after eating."
Modu's expression changed again, and he suspected that he might have done something to offend Feini. Who would engage in intense exercise right after eating? Didn't he care about getting a stomachache? Although mages had magical powers, they shouldn't destroy their bodies like this.
"Feini, is there something I did to make you unhappy? Tell me."
Modu asked with a frown, and this was the second time Feini had done something strange, first scaring him in the middle of the night and now engaging in intense exercise after eating.
"Hmm!?"
Feini was confused for a moment, looking at Modu, who was on high alert.
"No, I just felt that my strength is about to break through, and I want to find someone to battle. I got a bit excited."
Feini explained in a way that Modu could understand, replacing 'experience gain' with 'battling'.
Modu looked at Feini skeptically. Since the day Feini arrived at Kamataji, he had been known as a battle maniac, and until now, he had maintained the habit of challenging people every day.
So, if someone else said this, Modu might not believe it, but coming from Feini, it was somewhat credible.
"Really, it's not because I did something to make you unhappy, and you're taking revenge on me?"
Modu asked again to confirm.
"..."
Feini suddenly felt that he might have been too harsh on Modu, making him think this way. He let out a sigh and patted Modu's shoulder, saying: "Modu, I didn't think you'd consider me such a petty person."
"Even if you really did something to make me unhappy, would I take revenge on you?"
Although Modu wanted to say 'of course, you would', his desire for the fried chicken roll stopped him from saying it. He slightly tilted his head and said: "I'll digest first, let's go in thirty minutes."
To redeem himself in Modu's eyes, Feini didn't rush him and quietly watched him. In the end, Modu only waited for ten minutes before preparing for battle.
"Really, you won't rest for a while?"
Feini asked with a smile, and his harmless-looking face seemed especially hateful to Modu.
"Sigh, it's almost time. Let's go."
Modu was determined to use his true strength this time and teach Feini a lesson.
Unfortunately, although he had the ambition to teach Feini a lesson, Feini was no longer the novice he was when he first arrived at Kamataji.
The 'Evil Spirit Entwining' had evolved into 'Physical Resistance' after battling with the Hulk for a short time. In Kamataji, it was only a matter of time before it evolved into 'Secret Resistance'.
Although it hadn't specifically evolved into 'attributes', the 'Evil Spirit Entwining' had been quietly increasing its defense against magic. This made it difficult for Modu to break through Feini's defense, even with his true strength and enhanced magic.
"Feini, you're a mage, come and fight me without your armor!" Modu said, possibly enraged this time, as he didn't expect Feini to have become so strong.
"This armor is my magic. I'll fight you with my magic, and I'm still a mage."
Feini replied calmly.
Modu was speechless. Until now, Feini's 'Evil Spirit Entwining', 'Explosive Magic', and 'Dance of Empty Space' were all mysterious. Even the fried chicken roll was beyond their understanding.
At first, they guessed that the armor was given by Gu Yi, but as Feini showed more and more special abilities, they realized that this might be Feini's unique skill.
After the battle, Feini was delighted to see the last bit of experience fill up the system. He then turned to look at Modu, who seemed deeply affected, and comforted him: "Actually, you can try making a set of armor to wear and see."
Hearing Feini's words, Modu discovered that he had a slight inclination, but he quickly suppressed the thought and refused with a righteous tone: "No, I won't be like you. You're a heretic!"
"Cheh!"
Feini pouted, although he had previously thought that wearing armor wasn't very mage-like. As the 'Evil Spirit Entwining' grew stronger, he could only say that it was true.
Since the system's experience bar was full, Modu's role had ended. Feini was eager to return and draw his sixth skill, so he bid farewell and left Kamataji.
As Modu watched Feini leave, he couldn't help but think of the previous sentence.
Could wearing armor really make one stronger!?
Feini was unaware of Modu's thoughts and returned home to rest. Following his usual routine, he took a bath and meditated before opening the sixth draw with the 'Golden Tai Chi Technique' enhancement.
