9 Ability Testing!

London.

Inside a Five-Star Hotel.

A large building with a luxurious and magnificent architectural design in the European-Modern style.

In front of one of the VVIP rooms.

"Okay, what's this?"

A little girl was holding a strange necklace with a wooden sword hanger as an accessory.

The necklace did not look luxurious or beautiful, but it exuded a sense of comfort and security when holding it.

"This necklace is to protect you, and to ensure your well-being and safety." A masked youth in front of her said, then continued "So I hope Kaguya-sama will wear it anytime and anywhere so that I can ensure your well-being and whereabouts!"

"What are you saying..."

Before the little girl's words were finished, the masked youth continued.

"Oh, take it easy. This necklace also has an auto-hide feature after wearing, so it won't affect your appearance." The masked youth said then continued. "...And it seems that my room is also next door to yours. So, if there's anything urgent or important, you can contact me directly or with my phone number."

After saying that, the young man bowed slightly and said. "Thank you for your time and sorry if I disturbed your rest time, Kaguya-sama. In that case, I'll excuse myself."

Without waiting for a reply from the little girl, the masked youth directly walked towards the next VVIP room which was more than 40 meters away and using the Card-Room, he opened its door before entering it.

"..."

"..."

The little girl and the blonde-haired maid behind her fell silent there.

Inside one of the VVIP Rooms.

"Huh... No matter how many times I do it, I'm still not used to it... Although I can do it well."

The masked youth seemed to be complaining a little about the formal language and demeanor that he always had to do.

Locking the door of the VVIP room, the masked youth removed his mask, and revealed the face of a tall, well-built young man before transforming into a handsome teenage boy.

That's right, he was Masamune who was on duty escorting Shinomiya Kaguya.

Placing the rectangular box bag beside the King-size bed, he looked at the small suitcase and confirmed that it was his before jumping onto the bed.

"Khuah..."

Masamune breathed a sigh of relief while sinking her body into the soft and comfortable mattress.

The Tokyo to London flight didn't take long, just over 2.5 hours had passed, mainly because it was a private plane, so there was no need to wait for airlines, stops or anything.

It was currently 21:16 Tokyo Time, Japan, on his watch.

But, when Masamune looked towards the balcony outside, it was still daytime! The sun was still rising in the sky!

He was sure that when he left Tokyo, the sun had already set and it was already nighttime, but here it still seemed to be daytime.

Opening his Smartphone and adjusting it to the local internet, the time showed exactly 13:16 London Time, UK.

Turning his body around, Masamune thought, 'Ugh... Is this what Jetlag is? This is the first time I've really felt it, I've also been on missions to Vietnam and Singapore before, but I didn't really feel the effects.

Closing his eyes, Masamune tried to stabilize his mind by using one of the techniques in the "Masamune Recovery Art Style" which is the "Instant Meditation And Breathing Art Technique" to calm and stabilize his mind from the effects of Jetlag.

After his mind calmed down and recovered from the effects of Jetlag, Masamune walked to the Bathroom and washed his face in front of the mirror.

After finishing washing his face, he returned.

'Alright, time for my new Ability training! Masamune said in her mind.

'Have you made the Training Plan I mentioned? Masamune asked in her mind.

As if hearing his question, a cute girl's voice rang out.

[Good teacher! The Training Plan is ready! We can start anytime and anywhere!]

Masamune was currently standing on a large carpet that was quite far away from the various furniture and belongings of the hotel, in the center of the room next to the bed room.

"Alright. Increase the use of my Computer Accelerator and yours to the limit!"

"Okay, Master!

[Sub-Skill: Mind Accelerator]-[Activated]

[Sub-Skill: Mind Parallel Processing]-[Activated]

[Sub-Skill: Mind Processing]... Recommends using stronger Alternative Skills!

Asked Master's permission to use various Skills, did Master allow it? [Y/N]"

Standing with her arms lying low on either side of her body, Masamune closed her eyes and replied. "Yes!"

"Confirm! Got permission from Master!

Skill Scan activated ....

Adjusting the Skill according to the current situation... Found!

The voice of a cute girl like a robot sounded in his mind.

"Activating Skill!

[Ultimate Skill: Quantum Vision]-[Activated]

[Divine Skill: Quantum Computing Analyzer]-[Activated]

[Divine Skill: Quantum Control]-[Activated]

Creating [Mindscape Virtual Space]...

Start... Simulation...

Creating Virtual Simulation Computation... 1% ... 50% ... 99% ... 100%!"

In Masamune's mind, a [Mindscape Virtual-Space] was created that looked like a collection of countless data and numbers that alternated.

Masamune could use this space to perform Internal Computational Simulations to control her power.

"Master, everything is ready!

Although it seemed long, the previous process did not take a second.

"Alright as planned. First, I will try Energy Manipulation first."

After saying that, Masamune began to use his own Inner Power as an experimental material.

Previously Masamune had been able to manipulate his own Energy to some extent such as condensing Energy into physical manifestations to create Sword Energy, Stick Energy, etc.

This time Masamune's Energy Manipulation was hundreds of times more refined than before, he felt as if he could make the Energy form whatever he wanted.

"This is... It's easier than I imagined..."

Masamune could perform Energy-to-physical Manifestation Condensation on a more complicated level, he could Reconstruct Manifestation Condensation to the material and molecular level.

So Energy-to-Physical Manifestation Condensation was many times more powerful than before, and could be developed even further.

In Masamune's Virtual-Space Mindscape, detailed data information about Particle Energy is understood by him.

By using [Quantum Control] Masamune can control his Energy very easily as if it were part of his own body, and by [Quantum Computational Analysis] he knows the composition of the formation of his Particle Energy, which can be developed and varied by adding and modifying structures at the level of Particle Matter.

For a while Masamune found a new pleasure, he tried to form Manifestation Condensation from various objects, since he could reconstruct them, he could create objects with more complicated structures and shapes.

Before he could only make ordinary swords that were strong enough, now he could even model the swords he formed to look more like real swords.

And because Masamune could control Particle Energy down to the Particle Matter structure level, he could see the flaws in the structure of his build.

So, he could refine it so that there was not the slightest gap in the structure, which could make the Energy-to-Physical Manifestation more durable or it could even become a powerful permanent Physical Object.

Previously, if one wanted to maintain an Energy-to-Physical Manifestation, a continuous supply of Energy was required so that the Condensation structure of the Manifestation did not collapse or break down, so it was still temporary.

But once the manifestation structure is refined to the level of matter particles, it can make the Energy-to-Physical Manifestation last longer or can even truly become a physical object that does not require any more supply to maintain its form.

"This is really cool. It can be made into various models, it can even be colored at the material particle level, but the Energy cost used to make it is quite a lot."

Masamune tried to analyze casually, while trying to model a sword like those in Fantasy Anime.

Before long, he completed two mock sword forms.

The first was black and the second was crystal blue.

Holding the two swords in each hand, Masamune then posed in Kirito's Dual Blades style.

"Damn, this is pretty cool, although it looks a little Chuunibiyou..."

Having satisfied his meager Chuunibiyou cravings, Masamune then proceeded to try his hand at making other things.

After two hours had passed, all around Masamune were the various weapons and tools he had made, ranging from swords to spears to shields.

"In terms of shape and model, there is no problem. The weight can be adjusted, the balance can be adjusted, the flexibility can be adjusted, the hardness can also be adjusted, the only drawback is that it does not have the same aura or power as the original."

"Well, it's also called a replica. So, a replica is still a replica... Hmm maybe if I can analyze the data from the original weapon maybe I can make a replica that is close to the original."

Masamune said this while putting the weapons into his Smartphone's storage.

"It's so inconvenient to use a Smartphone, I think I should make a device like the Neuro Linker from Accel World or Augma from Sword Art Online so I don't have to type or hold a Smartphone anymore."

The Neuro Linker is a personal computer that is attached to the user's neck and can communicate wirelessly with the user's brain, and has two functions: "Virtual Reality (VR)" and "Augmented Reality (AR)" as mentioned in the anime.

The same goes for Augma from Sword Art Online.

Augma is a multi-device headset-like device that is attached to one of the user's ears and unlike its predecessors "NerveGear" and "AmuSphere", Augma is capable of sending signals to the brain while the user is awake, and thus is mainly used as "Augmented Reality (AR)" as used in "Sword Art Online: Ordinal Scale".

Unbeknownst to the general public, Augma also has a "FullDive" function as the device is based on "NerveGear", but this function is disabled by default and only people with knowledge of the feature can activate it.

And if Masamune uses it, he doesn't have to bother opening his Smartphone repeatedly. With "Augmented Reality", he can have a Real-Time Interface anytime and anywhere!!!

So it's like having a game interface screen or hologram device that can virtually appear with high technology directly in Real-Time in the real world without the need for a console or additional devices such as opening a Personal Computer, Smartphone, or the like.

"Well, maybe I can replicate the technology of the NerveGear device when Asada Shino's Sword Art Online world is released."

"...According to Shino's age and the date time said by Shino. It's still July 6, 2022, so there's still about 4 months left before 'Sword Art Online' is officially released in full..."

"...So I still have quite a bit of time, and I'll try to buy the Cardinal System copyright of Sword Art Online that was owned by Argus Corporation after the SAO Death Game incident happened so that it wouldn't be bought by RECT Inc. which is owned by Yuki Asuna's father after Argus Corporation's bankruptcy."

After Kayaba Akihiko turned "Sword Art Online" into a Death Game, Argus as the Game Company that produced "Sword Art Online" and "NerveGear" got a lot of demands from the families who were victims in the Game, it made it bankrupt and was forced to sell the copyright of "Cardinal System" which is the System that drives and runs "Sword Art Online", as well as the device "NerveGear" to RECT Progress Inc. A company owned by Yuki Shouzou, the father of Yuki Asuna.

After saying that, Masamune continued his Training Plan until the afternoon.

Masamune trained his [Quantum Control] to manipulate small and basic things that were not too big and complicated, ranging from vector manipulation, material manipulation, gravity manipulation, and many others at a basic level.

Masamune collected data on his Ability [Reality Breaker] to know and understand the workings, limitations, weaknesses, and potential of each Ability, as well as plan for the future regarding the development and application of his Ability.

After completing his Ability Testing, Masamune went to take a shower.

With hot steam rising, Masamune entered a bathtub filled with hot water large enough to accommodate eight people while soaking in it comfortably.

"Ah... Wherever it is, soaking in hot water is the best..."

Masamune closed her eyes slowly and relaxed her body and mind.

After relaxing her body and mind for more than 10 minutes, Masamune's eyes opened and then she muttered:

"It's exhausting trying to do something using my Ability... Even so, I think it was worth it. At least I can understand the application of the Ability I have even on a basic scale for now..."

Raising both her palms up in a position to fetch water, there was water above her palms, the water in her palms began to get hotter and boil slowly until it completely boiled.

*Cluptuk Cluptuk

The sound of boiling water could be heard from his palm.

And then that boiling water suddenly began to cool down until it completely froze into ice in his palm before melting back, returning to its initial state.

"...To be able to familiarize myself and adapt more quickly and naturally to this ability. I have to keep activating it and let my body slowly get used to it and adapt independently..."

Moving her index finger from top to bottom, Masamune's index finger touched the surface of the hot water in the bathtub.

And then, from the point where Masamune's index finger touched the water, a mini whirlpool formed around her.

"...In addition, I can also continuously collect data and information with my Ability's interaction through my body with my surroundings as I perform various activities..."

"...This can make me understand my Ability more naturally."

After taking a hot shower, Masamune came out of the bathroom.

Then Masamune changed into another formal outfit like a typical bodyguard outfit with slight modifications in some places to suit her tastes and needs.

Just as she finished tidying up her clothes, Masamune heard a mechanical voice saying that there was someone who wanted to see her.

Taking his mask, Masamune instantly altered his muscles, bones, and face before putting his mask back on, and walking out to open the door.

There, Masamune was met by the blonde maid Kaguya.

"Mr. Ghost Mask. You have been ordered by Master to go to the dining hall with Ojou-sama."

Hearing her words, Masamune nodded and said, "Very well. Show me the way."
