[Would you like to accept these rewards?]
Of course, Seiya pressed YES. Who didn't want such generous rewards?!
[50,000 system points has been added.]
[Exercise has been upgraded to Ascension]
[Ascension: You can select any skill or parameter you want to level up and your body will automatically function to meet the selected result.]
[Skill Combiner Card: You can combine any number of skills with similar attribute.]
[MAG: 90 -> 140]
[Magic Hands E: A skill where you can channel magic directly into your hands. You can add any attribute to your hands after channeling the magic.]
Seiya couldn't wrap his head around how insanely powerful he'd become. It was like he'd chugged a whole bottle of Overpowered Potion! Now, not only could he dabble in magic up to Rank S, but he'd also unlocked the secret world of martial arts.
He held the skill combiner card, contemplating its use right then and there. Why wait when he could finally acquire the exact skill he yearned for?
There were several options, like merging [Mathematics C], [English C], [Literature C], and [Science C] into a unique skill as [Complete Academics]. This amalgamation wouldn't just encompass those subjects but also encompassed others taught in other high schools, from music to physics and chemistry.
Yet, Seiya hesitated, recognizing the value of this treasure. Why squander it on a mere trifling skill when he could master any of these subjects individually to his heart's content?
Thus, he opted for a different combination:
[You have combined [Acupuncture C] and [Massage C]. You have gained [Complete Body Enhancer E]].
[Complete Body Enhancer E:
Utilize acupuncture to wholly enhance the human or artifact body. Whether amplifying magic or healing diseases/curse, its effectiveness scales with the skill's Rank.]
As the skill settled within him, Seiya sensed his mind absorbing this new knowledge. After a minute of profound silence, he reopened his eyes, wiping the sweat from his forehead, feeling an entirely fresh understanding course through him.
Seiya marveled at his newfound skill, thinking, "Man, this is something else. I can actually cure people now."
As he pondered this, the image of a blond-haired girl flashed in his mind. Latifa, cursed by a wicked wizard, was slowly losing her animus—a magical life force vital for creatures in Maple Land. Although she managed to siphon some sustenance from the park, it wasn't enough to restore her to full strength. Her perpetual frailty and weakness, along with her blindness, were constant reminders of the curse.
But Seiya's Venus Driver had already worked wonders, banishing her blindness and strengthening her frail body. Yet, traces of the curse lingered. Now armed with his enhanced skills, Seiya was ready to wipe out that lingering curse and restore Latifa to full health.
Then, there was Okita, with her own struggles and a body that needed healing. Seiya made a mental note to help her out too, but she'd have to wait a bit as she still needed to master her sword technique.
Impatience got the better of Seiya, though. Waiting wasn't his thing, so he decided it was time for an upgrade.
[You have upgraded Complete Body Enhancer E -> A. 11,100 points has been deducted.]
Magic Hands didn't escape his upgrade spree either.
[You have upgraded Magic Hands E -> C. 1500 points has been deducted.]
Seiya was on a roll, leveling up his skills like a pro gamer. He wanted to test those skills.
Seiya found himself smack in the middle of the street. Even though it was deserted, he figured it'd be better to find a quieter spot. Spotting a dark alleyway, he slipped into it, double-checking for any nosy onlookers. Once he was sure the coast was clear, he focused, channeling mana into his hand. A surge of energy turned his hands into a vibrant, pulsating blue.
"Whoa, that's a bit too much!" Seiya panicked, quickly dialing down the magic coursing through him. Sure, his magical prowess had surged, but so had the drain on his skills. If he wasn't careful, he'd run out of MP faster than a marathon runner.
After reigning in the surging blue mana to a mere flicker, he switched it up, infusing his hands with the Fire Attribute. Instantly, the blue glow transformed into dancing flames.
"Whoa!" Seiya couldn't help but gasp in amazement. Sure, it might seem like a tiny flickering fire, but to him, it was like unlocking a whole new level. No need for fancy incantations or spells—he could wield magic just like that.
With a dismissive wave, he extinguished the tiny torch and checked his status, eager to see the changes.

"This is pretty neat," Seiya grinned and nodded, pretty pleased with the outcome. Dismissing the flickering flame, he sauntered all the way back home.
Upon entering his mansion, he spotted two pairs of dirty shoes. One pair undoubtedly belonged to Utaha. Considering how exhausted she'd probably be, Seiya figured she might be knocked out by now.
The other pair? Ah, that had to be his aunt, Aisu Kyuubu.
"Long day?" Seiya inquired as he sidled up to the sofa where his aunt lay, casually placing a bottle of wine on the table.
"Seiya, you little rascal," Aisu shot daggers at Seiya as she cracked her eyes open. Seiya could practically see the frustration brewing in her gaze; he'd dumped all the work on her, and she was clearly not thrilled about it. Expecting a scolding, Seiya braced himself, knowing full well she was probably too exhausted to even move a muscle.
"What can I say? A handsome face like mine needs its beauty rest," Seiya quipped, a wry smile dancing on his lips. He poured a glass of wine for Aisu, attempting to smooth things over.
Aisu's glare softened into a resigned sigh. "Fine, you needed a break. Just this once," she relented, taking a sip of the wine. Despite her initial annoyance, a hint of a smile appeared on her face as she savored the premium wine Seiya had brought. She couldn't stay mad at her nephew forever, especially when he showed up with such a treat.
Seiya settled down next to Aisu, meeting her gaze with a solemn expression. "Nee-san, the road ahead is bound to get tougher. You don't have to endure it."
He wasn't joking around. Unlike Seiya, Aisu was just an ordinary human. Magic, dungeons, Kengan matches—those were realms too intense for someone living a normal life. Seiya had entrusted the role of CEO to Aisu, his aunt, but considering the potential toll on her life, he didn't want to risk it and disrupt her tranquility.
"Nah, I've already committed to seeing it through to the end," Aisu smiled, taking another sip of the wine. She leaned into Seiya's shoulder, a rare moment of vulnerability showing through. "Just be there for me from time to time until I find someone. Family always comes first."
Seiya was caught off guard by her openness, but he wrapped his arms around her shoulder, nodding solemnly. "I will."
---
"Goodbye, Nee-chan," Seiya smiled, planting a gentle kiss on Aisu's cheek before quietly leaving the room. Aisu had passed out after a couple of sips, so he moved her to the guest room to let her get some well-deserved rest. Tomorrow marked Seiya's first Kengan match, and he needed to be prepared.
Returning to the drawing room, Seiya found a dark-skinned beauty indulging in the wine he had brought for Aisu. "Seriously, drinking at this hour?" he raised an eyebrow.
"Khuah! I can't resist, especially when you bring such exquisite wine!" Yoruichi proclaimed, taking a hearty gulp and displaying rosy cheeks. She then shot Seiya a smirk. "Looks like my pupil has some special moves up his sleeve. Want to spar with your master?"
Seiya's grin widened, his eyes gleaming with excitement. "Absolutely. Let's do this."
