Sir, Hit Me Again!

Chapter 34 - Sir, Hit Me Again!

When the Red Dragon Emperor's gauntlet was wholly integrated into Mahiro's right hand, the blooming red light disappeared instantly, and the room, shrouded in red light, returned to its original state.

"Ding! The Sacred Gear Loot Card is successfully used. Congratulations to the host for obtaining Longinus, the Red Dragon Emperor's gauntlet [Boosted Gear]."

"Added new Column [Equipment], please check."

Hearing this familiar sound, the corners of Mahiro's mouth twitched slightly, revealing a satisfied smile.

"Equipment?"

Mahiro opened the panel.

Host: Mahiro

Race: Human

Rating: Three-star

Strength Assessment: The comprehensive strength in this world can reach the level of Middle-Class

Abilities: Basic Physique (D), Basic Sword Technique (D), Intuition (D), Mystic Eye of Death Perception (A), Instant-Sword Slash (E), Mystic Eye of Distortion (B)

Equipment: Longinus - Red Dragon Emperor's Gauntlet (A+), Refined Katana (F).

"A+ for Longinus?"

The sudden appearance of a new grade made Mahiro pause. He initially thought it was only ABCD but didn't expect an extra "+" sign.

"What's going on with this grade, System?"

Mahiro asked.

"A+ represents Artifact reaching EX rank Temporarily when certain conditions are met."

The system gave a short answer.

"Is that so?"

Mahiro nodded and didn't ask too much.

Longinus being a A+ rating meant that an EX rank would definitely be something that could easily rival the Transcendent rank or even surpass it.

It had nothing to do with him for the time being, so Mahiro didn't think much about it.

Mahiro's made a motion, and Longinus, which had disappeared from his right hand, reappeared.

The scarlet gauntlet immediately covered his arm.

The gauntlet was clearly layered as if it were made of dragon scales, which were slightly hideous.

Looking at the Boosted Gear, Mahiro smiled, feeling that this Longinus was in sync with him.

Although the gauntlet looked strange and terrific, Mahiro felt that the Boosted Gear seemed connected to his own hand, and no matter his movement, there was no obstruction or discomfort.

The next moment!

"Boost!"

The green gem on the back of the Red Dragon Emperor's gauntlet emitted a burst of light, and a deep voice came out.

As the deep voice fell, the power in the Red Dragon Emperor's gauntlet was transmitted to all parts of his body, immediately making Mahiro feel the abundant power in his body.

"Boost."

Mahiro moved the right hand covered by the gauntlet.

Feeling the doubled power clearly, Mahiro smiled with satisfaction and then retracted the Red Dragon Emperor's gauntlet to restore his original white palm.

The most basic ability of the Red Dragon Emperor's gauntlet is to Boost and multiply.

And this basic ability is said to infinitely increase the strength of the Sacred Gear holder.

Of course, this 'infinite increase' is only theoretical.

So far, no host has been able to achieve unlimited growth.

Moreover, the limit of this ability is determined by the strength of the host itself.

The stronger the host's basic ability, the more times the 'boost' can be used.

Mahiro estimated that with his current strength, he should be able to maintain ten boosts.

If it exceeds this limit, his body might not be able to bear it and collapse directly.

This situation was also encountered by Hyoudou Issei in the original anime, so it was not strange.

After all, the Longinus is a divine weapon, not a man-made weapon.

There's no way to exceed the limitations of the Sacred Gear itself.

Retracting the Red Dragon Emperor's gauntlet, Mahiro walked to the desk again, tore a piece of paper, picked up a pen, and wrote warning words with his left hand.

He then left behind 200,000 yen, which he had previously withdrawn from the ATM for this moment.

After doing all this, Mahiro locked the door and jumped out the window to leave.

...

"It hurts."

More than forty minutes after Mahiro left, Hyoudou Issei finally woke up from the coma, feeling dizzy.

Issei opened his eyes with difficulty. He moved his body, and the pain on his face made him grimace.

"Who the hell was that damn bastard?"

When he first woke up, Issei was still dizzy, and there was a lump in his head, but the intense pain suddenly reminded him of what happened before he fell into a coma.

He was knocked out.

He was knocked out by a strange guy with a mask.

Suddenly, Issei shuddered, glanced around the room, jumped up from the ground, stumbled out the door, and rushed downstairs.

"Mom and Dad!"

Hyoudou Issei rushed to the first floor and shouted anxiously.

"Issei, what's wrong? Why are you so nervous?"

Issei's parents glanced at their son strangely and asked in confusion.

"What's wrong with your face? Why does it look swollen?"

"Ah, hiss!"

Hyoudou Issei gasped in pain.

He was so anxious just now that all the muscles in his face were pulling at the wound, making him grimace.

"It's okay. I accidentally fell in my room just now and hit my face."

Issei made up an excuse not to worry his parents.

"Then I'll go back."

Seeing that his parents were safe and sound, Issei was relieved and walked back upstairs.

"Oh, he's grown so big and still so clumsy."

"At this rate, Issei may be unable to get a wife."

Looking at Issei, both parents sighed with sad expressions.

Issei, halfway up the stairs, couldn't help but twitch.

What kind of parents don't care about the wound on his face but worry about whether he will be a bachelor in the future?

Hyoudou Issei opened the door in a very complicated mood and glanced at his room with some vigilance.

After seeing no one, he walked in with confidence.

The scene of seeing Mahiro just now had scared him a lot, and it was estimated that it would leave a shadow.

Before entering the room in the future, he would investigate it first.

After returning to his room again, Hyoudou Issei finally noticed a pile of things on his desk.

"Money?!"

Issei's eyes widened, and he rushed over immediately.

Seeing the large stack of yen bills, he couldn't help swallowing.

He was convinced that the money was not his.

"This is?"

Hyoudou Issei picked up the note that Mahiro left on the table.

"I thought you were strong but didn't expect you to be weak. Maybe I found the wrong person. The 200,000 yen on the table is my apology for hitting you tonight. You can use it to see a doctor. And don't mention what happened tonight. If I find out that you leaked it, I will come after you again. After reading this piece of paper, burn it."

These were the words Mahiro left behind.

"What, what an amazing luck."

Hyoudou Issei looked at the note and then at the 200,000 yen on the table.

"Really, 200,000 yen?!"

Hyoudou Issei opened his mouth and excitedly picked up the stack of ten thousand yen bills and counted them one by one.

No more, no less, exactly 200,000 yen.

And according to the note, the 200,000 was for him?

Happiness came too suddenly.

200,000 yen can be said to be a considerable sum of money for a high school student.

It's almost a year's worth of pocket money.

"It's 200,000 yen for getting hit once."

This is really...

Great deal!

Hyoudou Issei couldn't help shouting in his heart.

As for going to the hospital, as mentioned in the note...

What hospital to go to!

Just put a Band-Aid on this little injury.

Issei held the 200,000 yen in his hand and fantasized about what CDs to buy tomorrow, some adult games, and DVDs he had been thinking about for a long time.

If Mahiro were here, Issei would want to shout, "Sir, hit me again!"
