Chapter 865 Test Subject #1

After Kisuke hung up, The Goddesses and kids also left the conference. With just the four of them, Yoruichi started, "Once we receive the modified blessing, we'll immediately have Artemis-sama and Hestia-sama take care of it."

"But seriously, Ki-tan's timing is too good. Just as we were thinking about how to deal with the problem in Dizara, he presented us with this. Looks like it'll be fine to just leave it to Sona-chan and the rest."

"But we still don't know how many Gods are involved in this." Medusa was worried that they'd be overwhelmed since even they still had no clear idea as to how they'd execute their plan of letting a God descend.

"Don't worry. I'm already working with Kuroka to isolate the battlefield whenever necessary." Yoruichi reassured while Kuroka also added in, "I'm done laying the foundations for the Space Isolation, nyaa. Thanks to the data we've received about the Rating Game Field and Dimension Lost, the barrier is going to be a lot more sturdy and should be enough to contain and control the number of engagements for a week or two. If they want a one on one, we could give it to them, nyaa~"

"What are you talking about, Kuro-chan~?" Serafall interrupted, "You're joining them~! While you're a bit of a veteran, you haven't gone through much hardship and struggle and can still improve massively through them. You'll be taking on two by yourself."

"Wait. I'm not part of the seniors, nya?"

Yoruichi, Serafall, and Medusa looked at each other before answering simultaneously without any hesitation, "No."

"Guh!"

Yoruichi laughed softly and explained, "You're at the mid-point between the newbies and us. But don't take it badly, as you can still improve greatly when pushed to surpass your limits. For us three, our calculative sides shaped by our experience is already proving itself harder to suppress than we originally thought. We're not the same as Kisuke, who could just go crazy while also scheming."

"So going crazy isn't going to cut it for you?" Kuroka asked while tilting her head.

"It could, but most of the time, you'll only end up dead." Serafall answered while shaking her head, "And even if you're confident that it could work, the experience you carry will always present you with another, safer, method. It just doesn't make sense to go crazy at that point and hopefully pull out a potential that you've been hiding only to get betrayed by your own expectations in the end. In hindsight, I really admire those who can just discard their thinking and simply go for it."

"Master is a bit different, as his ideas are crazy to begin with. But even then, we could only improve systematically or through some form of enlightenment."

"To explain it easier, I just can't master my Super Devil Form by fighting stronger opponents. Analyzing my own technique and slowly improving them is the better way to go. Of course, some techniques are special and could be easily improved through fighting like Sona's 'Water' that transforms and moves through her will. The crazier she gets, the stronger it becomes."

"What? I thought your Super Devil Form was the same as Sona's?" Yoruichi asked in genuine confusion.

In response, Serafall could only smile wryly, "Sadly, I'm not a natural like Sirzechs-chan and Ajuka-chan, and I didn't develop this technique out of desperation like Sona-chan. Even if I go crazy with it, I'm too afraid that it'll only backfire."

One might think that becoming stronger and more experienced in life or death situations could overcome the fear they were feeling, when in fact, the more they went through such battles, the more they'd discover fearsome things that'd make them even more careful in the end. Only naive and arrogant people could become fearless, and aside from very few special individuals, it didn't really work out for them either.

"I see. I guess that's true. In any case, Kuroka. Take this chance as this is still within your growth period. Don't let it go."

"Understood, nyaa~! I'll go first since there are still things that I have to do."

"Remember not to tell the girls about this. The surprise factor should add some sense of danger for them."

"Got it nyaa~!"

After Kuroka hung up, Yoruichi asked the other two, "Now then, who should we send?"

"Even though it's completed, it's still unadjusted, so as Kisuke said, we can't really send Claire with that kind of risk.", Medusa muttered.

"And the girls still have momentum. Breaking it will only result in further delays in their training.", added in Serafall.

"We ourselves can't exactly go either since one of us leaving will leave a pretty big hole in our surveillance and defenses. And it's not like we can send either Hestia-sama or Artemis-sama...", murmured Yoruichi.

They contemplated for a few moments until Medusa asked, "Say... It doesn't have to be someone from our group, right?"

Everyone went quiet and looked at each other for a few seconds. There was only one person that came to their mind and all of them simultaneously said,

"Riveria?"

"Riveria, huh..."

"Let's go with Ria-tan."

Yoruichi smiled as they reached a unanimous decision, "Alright. Looks like there's no need for a debate. Our test subject number 1 will be Riveria."

By being a native of this world and having no big issues that would arise if she were to leave, Riveria was chosen thanks to her potential of giving more useful experimental data.
