78 Chapter 78: The Villain
There was still time for the closing of the park. Although his mission has been completed, he didn't receive the notification.
Maybe because there is still time for the closure of the park.
Seiya came out to the hallway of the park to spend some time alone. Finally, from tomorrow he could focus on other things like magic and martial arts.
Kisuke already reserved the dungeon which is now ready to be explored. Some additional preparations remained but the threat level was weak so it could still be explored… well, at least for Kisuke and Yoruichi.
However, coming here to spend some alone time was not his only concern.
Just then, the sound of theatrical applause rang out behind him.
"Well, well, excellent work."
Seiya turned around to see Takaya Kurisu of Amagi Development standing behind him. He must have come here to confirm the final attendance of the day as the visitor's ID could be seen hanging around his neck.
What a cliché villain entry. Why? just why every single damn villain makes this kind of entry?!
Seiya shook his head.
"I can't believe you really brought 100,000 people. I must say, I am impressed." Takaya spoke with a remarked with a slight grin.
"Well, what can I say? I am just made different~." Seiya smirked and flicked his hair, "But, you should be thanking others too whoever put their hard work. You can do so by rubbing your forehead beneath our feet."
Seiya didn't have any intention of hiding his disgust from this man. Takaya was the single person who did everything to ruin the image of the park. He had done his research over the past two weeks so Seiya was well aware that Takaya was one of the main causes behind the demise of the park.
Takaya smiled, "Oh please, you might as well drop the act. The hard work was all yours, wasn't it? Seiya Kanie-kun… or should I say… the acting manager chosen by the revelation?"
"…!" It was impossible for Seiya to hide his shock.
Not because Takaya knew his identity as acting manager but for the revelation.
There is hardly anyone who knows about the prophecy. Including Seiya, only Latifa, Isuzu, Moffle, the oracle itself, and…
Seeing Seiya's obvious shock, Takaya smiled again, "You have successfully extended the park's lifespan for one year but that's it. You can't keep the discount campaign or continue to hold these kinds of events as a high schooler. All you have done is given a dying patient a shot of adrenaline."
"Get to the point." Seiya narrowed his eyes.
"The park will meet its end one way or another." Takaya said scornfully, "And then the cursed princess, to whom you are so attached to will die a dog's death!"
'So he knows about Latifa's curse, does that mean…' Seiya plainly raised his brow, "So you are that wizard?"
"That's right, I am the same wizard who cursed the princess!" At this point, Takaya's smile turned so wicked and cunning that he was hardly recognizable.
He then noticed that Seiya was calmed, very calm.
"You don't look that surprise." Takaya raised a brow, "For a human to have mind-reading magic or storage mage, you are oddly calm."
"Why I am calm you ask?" Seiya smirked as he saw numerous windows in front of him.
[The main quest has been completed.]
[Reward: 100,000 system points.]
[Reward: (Upgrade) Ability: Appraisal.]
[Additional Reward: Original Magic: Enhancement E+]
[Additional Reward: MAG +30]
[Additional Reward: Senzu Bean Plant]
[Accept: Yes/No]
"OH MY GOD!" Seiya was freaking shocked. It was the first time that he is receiving this kind of otherworldly reward!
"What-what is it?" On other hand, the villain was confused. He didn't know why Seiya started acting like a child who was brought lots of candies.
"Oh, just a second villain-san, I will talk to you later." Seiya waved his hand and didn't even look at the villain.
First, he accepted rewards.
He then felt an immense amount of energy entering his body as his magic power increased. As for Senzu Bean Plant, it was automatically stored in his inventory.
[Ability has been upgraded to Mind's Eye.]
[Mind's Eye
It can discern anything or anyone's attribute regardless of any sealing magic except for proper gods and dragons.]
That's some high-level upgrade. He was not going to fight gods anyway for time being.
[Enhancement E
The host can amplify any attribute for himself for 0.5x for the cost of MAG.
D= 1x
C= 2x
B= 6x to yourself and 2x for a single person or item.
A= 12x to yourself and 5x for a single person or item.
S= 20x to yourself and 10x to party-wide or item.]
[Senzu Bean Plant
Rarity: SS
Type: Consumable/ Growth
It grows sage beans that can restore anyone to their natural peek.
Current: 5/5
The average growth rate for a single bean: 1/45 days in normal earth environment]
Damn, this plant is broken. Even in dragon ball z, it could almost revive god-like fighters let alone normal humans. Still, Seiya didn't know if it has the exact same properties as keeping nourished a single person for 10 days since it only requires a month and a half to grow one, unlike the anime where a single bean took more than a month.
"Oh ah, where was I?" Seiya then noticed that the villain was getting impatient. He flipped his hair and smirked, "Right. Why I am calm you ask?"
Seiya smiled and removed a ring from his finger.
[Sealing Ring
Rank: D
Type: Possession
A right crafted by Kisuke Urahara that hides magic attribute of anyone within 50.]
That's right, he didn't come unprepared. Seiya was a cautious boy so he asked Kisuke to make this ring to hide the magic power that he couldn't hide.
"Because I already knew you were that son of a bit*h that cursed my wife!" Seiya gritted his teeth as he took out a silver harp or bow out of thin air.
"You! So you were not a normal human from the beginning?!!!"
"Hehe, I like that face."
Seiya chucked and then poured 1500 points to Enhancement and upgraded it to Rank C.
He could only upgrade it to Rank C since his magic power was insufficient to cast a higher-level spell.
However, he remembered he still had a Skill Level Up Card that can increase the rank of any of his skills by one.
He didn't know if it will work for him but it did.
[Magic: Enhancement has been upgraded from Rank C to Rank B.]
'Let's try it out.' Seiya thought and then just by thinking, his body glowed and he felt many times stronger.
Seiya felt so light and fast that he could even destroy concrete pillars if he wants to. However, his magic was also depleting his mana at the same rate.
Seiya then smirked and pulled all the strings of Failnaught.
At first, he was only able to use a single string but now, he has no problem using all the strings.
"But now, you will be dying right now."
As he said that, he released the strings and numerous vacuumed arrows were fired towards Takaya.
"Keh!" Takaya seemly moaned with pain as he was hit with one shot but the rest of the shots went through him.
It was then his body started to expand or blur, Seiya couldn't tell.
"Do you think a normal human can defeat me with such lousy tricks?!!"
Seiya gritted his teeth as he looked around the source of the voice. He didn't panic as he knew that the help would arrive and that's what happened.
"Kanie-kun, duck!"
As Seiya couched down, numerous bullets were fired above his head.
Just as Isuzu arrived, the fog or that person disappeared, leaving a cliché message like a cliché villain.
"Even if I can't finish this park now, it will die soon so will the princess! I will come again for you, Seiya Kanie!"
Just the last of his essence disappeared, the ground around it exploded, it was Yoruichi that destroyed the ground.
"Dammit! What the hell was that and how did he escape from the barrier?!" Yoruichi lamented and so did Isuzu.
Kisuke had previously placed a barrier to stop anyone from escaping but it seems like the wizard had some kind of transportation or escaping magic.
It seemed like Isuzu came with backup since Moffle also arrived just after that.
An hour later, Seiya could be seen talking with Latifa on the rooftop garden along with Isuzu.
Seiya noticed that Latifa didn't look much concerned for Seiya after his confrontation with Takaya or whatever his name was.
"You aren't looking much worried for me since your husband just fought your former pursuer." Seiya raised his brow.
"I am concerned about Seiya-sama that my heart could stop throbbing but I have decided to stay strong. After all, I am just a helpless princess." She threw a helpless smile.
Seiya felt bad since the girl still has to live with the curse for 10 years in the same place but he was glad that she was more reliant on him.
"You don't have to worry much since wouldn't harm you any near date." Seiya calmly answered.
Latifa and Isuzu both were puzzled.
"Because his life and power depend on your survival."
"That…"
"He is also cursed."
Although Seiya was not able to use his Mind's Eye on him completely, he was able to read his curse. That's right; he was sucking the animus from Latifa over the years to sustain his own existence.
Latifa beamed a smile and thanked Seiya over and over again. Some tears were shed but because of the whole day's fatigue, she fell asleep.
Seiya and Isuzu then walked out of the garden. Seiya noticed that Isuzu looked still concerned for coming late for his help.
Seiya chuckled and rubbed her back, "Relax. It is no one's fault. Instead, we should celebrate with everyone else and relax since this is the day of victory."
Isuzu nodded and beamed a smile, "…Thank you, Kanie-kun."
"You're welcome, my waifu." Seiya also smiled.
"*twitch* And can you stop touching my butt?!"
"….No."
And with that, chaotic April went away.
