The Multiversal Travel System

Chapter 5: Chapter 4: Suspicions and New Rewards



Yesterday's training made one thing clear to me:

These people are evaluating me.

Akeno is starting to suspect me.

I need more power before anyone discovers my true potential.

"I'm 200 points short of my next purchase. I need to complete a mission quickly."

As I walk through the mansion's hallways, a sweet voice stops me.

—Luciano-kun, can I talk to you for a moment?

It's Akeno. Her smile is the same as always, but her eyes are analyzing me more closely.

—Sure, what do you need from me?

—You're more resilient than you look. —Her voice is playful, but I sense a dangerous undertone—. Rias trusts you, but… I want to see how much you can endure.

"Just what I needed."

Training with Akeno

We head to a secluded area behind the castle.

—Alright, Luciano-kun. —Her fingers spark with small bursts of electricity—. I won't hold back.

As soon as she says that, a jolt of electricity strikes my chest.

—Tch…!

I feel the pain, but not as much as I should. My resistance is working.

Akeno smirks and sends another bolt. This time, I jump to the side, using my physical resistance to withstand the pain better, and the next bolt barely grazes me.

[Lie Detection Activated]

"That was fast. He's more agile than I expected."

She realizes that I dodged more easily than I should have.

Minutes pass, enduring, dodging, and analyzing Akeno.

[Mission Completed]

Reward: 500 system points + "Physical Resistance Lv.2" unlocked.

Total Points: 1300.

—Not bad, Luciano-kun. —Akeno steps closer, her smile more intrigued—. I wonder… what else are you hiding?

Before I can respond, she turns and disappears into the mansion.

"She's definitely not going to leave me alone."

Rewards and New Purchases

I open the store again.

Now, I finally have a real attack.

With this new skill, I can finally start testing my true strength.

But as I reach my room, I see a note on the door:

"Meet me in the forest behind the mansion at midnight. Don't be late. - Akeno"

"Is this a trap or an opportunity?"

Whatever it is, I'm going to find out.
