The source of shock for the not so young reincarnator was that behind Kaiya a big octagram formed, it's appearance similar to one she imagines before getting in the flow.
That octagram then disappeared and instead appeared a ear ring with the same octagram.
"There" she pointed out towards Hiro's location.
"Color me surprised if you are able to manifest Existential Symbols this early on" said the senpai
"Existential symbols ?" asked the confused Kohai
"Remove the blindfold and check your new ear rings" said the person who again was heading towards the bed.
"Oh, Are these things the one you are talking about, I am familiar with the octagram as I used it as a ritual to get in the flow state." Kaiya said while checking out the new ear rings.
"Yes, Existential Symbols or ES are basically proof of one's understanding of a concept to reach a certain threshold, these not only act as a certificate to your achievements, but also helps you to reach the state to your maximum capabilities in that particular concept faster, in your case it took 5 hours to activate it, but now with ES the time will shorten considerably and after some training that also can be reduced." said Senpai who put blanket on his face and hugged the panda like creature using him as his body pillow, seemingly exhausted by being away from bed for many hours.
"I see" she said and checked her new form which seems different somehow, upon checking her power level , she was shocked , it directly jumped to tier 16, "Senpai, I think I got boost in my physical and magical reserves, I directly jumped to tier 16"
A voice came from below the blanket , "Oh ya , they do provide minor boosts, at this level such boosts are considerable for you"
"Oh" , after few seconds the ear ring disappeared, "Hey, it got disappeared " said the panicked Kohai
"Calm down, it probably disappeared due to you being not doing what it stands for , ie, you are not focusing on something at a certain level, just do your ritual and will it to appear" said the voice from below.
She exactly did that and it appeared again, she then willed it to disappear and it vanished.
"How convenient " said the kohai.
"Hey senpai , why don't you show me your ES" asked the expectant Kaiya.
"Unfortunately, my main ESs are too powerful for my current body to withstand, I will probably gain fatal internal injuries or straight up die" said the sleepy voice.
"Oh, Wait what do you mean main ES and do you have more than one of them ?"
"Well, yes I can actually manifest a lot of ES, but the ones who I am very close to or those who define my existence are the most powerful ones and I call them my main ES"
"Oh, the can you show me any other ES which is okay for your body to not die"
"Well, I can't think of one at the moment, why don't you name a concept I will just create the ES of that now only" said Senpai whose head was peeking out from the blanket.
"Wait, what do you mean create on the spot ? , didn't you said it takes a lot of time to just form one, it took me like 10 lives to reach this level" said the shocked girl.
"Not to brag or anything ,but at my level doing things like that is actually easy" said the tired voice
The girl didn't actually believed that , probably thinking that her senpai is just boasting , "What about the Focus ES , can you create it on the spot ?"asked the girl curiously
"Well, unfortunately no I can't it is ... let's say will have the same situation has the Main ES" said the guy with a pause.
The girl clearly didn't believed his words , thinking that he is lying to save face. Noticing this the boy just sighed , "Ignorance really is a bliss" he said and manifested a ES.
The shocking thing was that it was same as Kaiya 's , the octagram, the aura it was excluding, so on. Kaiya was just speechlessly standing there not believing what she was seeing, after few moments she gained her bearings and shrugged just pointing this incident to Senpai living who knows how long.
"So, this is a cheap copy of my ES ?" asked the girl , "Hmm, well it is a copy of your ES" he said after dissipating the ES.
"So , this is your 11th life ?, have you been in a cultivating world " Hiro said trying to change the subject. She nodded twice while lying on a new bed created by Hiro.
"So, how was the experience of that life " he asked while putting the blindfold on his eyes.
"Well, I did joined a sect named "Blossoming Sword and Shield- Piercing the Heaven and Hell " , Most of the time I was in seclusion to improve my ability to focus, in that life I did that while cultivating energy, so my progress was faster than others , so I got promoted to inner disciple quite quickly." She said
"Hmm, anything else worth telling ?" He asked with a expectant tone, which was quite of character for him to be this nosy.
"Well, apart from showing the place to some snotty Young masters of different clans, there was nothing funny " She said
The disappointment Hiro fell was visible even with half of his face covered.
"Hmm, what were you expecting senpai" Kaiya asked nervously clearly wondering what he was up to.
"Did you not really do things like you know cheating with wives or husbands of the top disciple or any elders" asked the Hiro with a knowing look.
"Well, in that world I didn't found any jade beauty or Handsomeness in my case, in the sect, so I wasn't able to do that " She replied with the same knowing look .
"But you know when I joined the Martial alliance, I did .... "
Their perverted talks continued till the dinner time.
They both were interrupted when an alarm clock started going off.
Hiro finally left the bed while still carrying the panda in his embrace, he destroyed the clock with his POD and went with the Kaiya to the dinner hall.
She was earlier informed by Grayfia to have dinner with her family.
After reaching the surface, they both went in the dinner hall, Half asleep panda was taken from Hiro by the panda's father, quite enthuthiastic to spend time with his son.
After sitting on the table, with everyone , Kaiya greeted everyone and sat beside her senpai.
"So, how did you meet my lazy son" asked Venelena while glaring at the young man due to his lack of noble ettiquette.
"Hey, why you are picking on me mom, why don't you pick on Millicas for once." He said lazily
"He is a three year old, he can be excused , you are also a bad example for him, due to following you, these days all he does is sleep and also has become adamant about learning things like etiquette , which all noble should know." she said while her glare intensified.
"It's not my fault that he wants to follow his uncle and not follow some stupid rules" He said while ruffling his nephew's head who was sitting on Sirzech's lap.
"Now, now why don't we talk about the young lady here" said the head of Gremory family to diffuse the situation.
"Well, it was actually senpai who actually approached me" said the young lady in question.
"Senpai ?" asked Zeoticus who looked at the 'senpai' in question who was rapidly stuffing food like no tomorrow.
After swallowing he said "Well, It's not common to see a 9 year old Middle class devil, so I approached her " He said
Everyone raised a brow at that and internally shocked at seeing yet another genius.
Sirzech asked a absurd question "Since you are friend of Hiro, do you have made any projects regarding runes and arrays"
"Actually yes, I started on a project 2 months ago , but today I found out that my project goal was same as Hiro's " She said somewhat dejectedly
Sirzech raise a brow at that "May I see your research papers , if you don't mind"
"Sure, these are based on improvements on previous model, unlike Hiro who created a new language for mana" she said while handing over the papers from her spatial ring.
"You improved the original by 26 percent in 2 months ?" Sirzech asked while internally shocked, he just received a nod in response.
After hearing what he said, everyone in the room were shocked and impressed by the friend of their lazy son. Everyone except for Uncle and nephew pair and Rias.
"Well, I heard Hiro did 100 percent increase " Rias said proudly
"Well, yes senpai did a wonderful job in just 10 months" Kaiya said with a impressed tone.
"So, You came do some research or discuss about magic circles with him " asked Grayfia slightly curious about her coming here.
"Well, I came to learn things from senpai " she said in a casual tone, unknowingly her words shocked almost everybody except for the senpai in question.
Everybody here knows that he does his research by forming simulations in his mind, he is so lazy that he even comes to surface only once a week due to weekly family gathering and eating food to last a week.
So him taking the effort to teach somebody is shocking news to everybody. Even the panda stopped eating and was staring at Kaiya in shock.
"Only thing Uncle can teach to you is how to sleep properly" said Millicas in a no joking tone.
Everybody laughed at that except for the nephew and uncle pair.
Hiro said playfully " I can surely teach you how to -" before he can completely finish his statement, he was bonked by his one-chan.
"Ignore him" she said while smiling wryly which was replicated by Kaiya.
After getting bonked, Hiro turned on the television.
"Why did you turned it on " inquired Grayfia
"I had a gut feeling that we might see something interesting on it"
Changing the channels on it, he came across an interesting piece of news.
"Breaking news - In the III Great Demonic forest we have noticed the disappearance of devils who venture out for last two weeks. Those who went there in this period never came back and the exploration team sent was also exterminated except a lone survivor."
"After inquiring, we found out that a devil wearing a japanese oni mask was the culprit responsible for this and is still not apprehended."
"The shocking thing was that the criminal wearing the oni-mask called themselve to be from a different world "
