CxC Chapter 35: What in the goddamn...?
🕑 Added 2025-03-30 16:42:56 +0000 UTC~Yuta Yukimura~
I admit, I may have vastly underestimated Void Travel to a criminal level.
Sure, by itself, it is an incredibly potent yet situational ability due to its ridiculous cooldown forcing it to be only usable only every 5 minutes. But in the "void dimension" not even Tiamat could see me. Let alone interact with me, it was a get-out-of-jail-free card. But not useful in combat considering most instances of combat took less than 5 minutes.
But during my solo training, since Grayfia seemed very busy today and refused to look me in the eyes which was... yeah, fair, I kinda whined to her like a baby. I started experimenting with Void Travel since my esper blood told me it had so much potential.
Yes, by itself, it was nice, but not when mixed with other abilities. In fact, it was incredible. And the biggest reason for that was Ghost Form. Because the two formed...
Void Shift.
[Void Shift]
|Rarity: Elite+| |Class: Mover, Changer|
|Combination: Void Travel + Ghost Form|
Void Shift allows you to freely phase in and out of the Void Dimension, a mirrored realm without any inhabitants. but unlike Void Travel you do not get the time dilation effect. The longer you spend in the void dimension the more your mana and stamina get drained.
That's right, with Void Shift, I could freely slip in and out of the Void Dimension to negate any damage I would otherwise take. It was basically a shitty Kamui since it still cost stamina, and energy and I couldn't selectively use it but hey. I'll goddamn take it. Using it over and over gives me one hell of a headache and weird whispers in my head but that was just expected.
But what I did not expect was adding Share Sight into the mix.
[Chaos Entity Release]
|Rarity: Epic| |Class: Mover, Changer, Thinker, Alter|
|Combination: Void Travel + Ghost Form|
Allows you to release your physical form to turn into a Chaos Observer, a sentient grey cloud of energy that can slip into the void dimension at will, rendering you completely intangible while still allowing you to observe the real world, you can also perform advanced void travel too.
While in Void Observer form you are mostly immune to physical force. Any damage taken in Chaos Observer form is reflected in the real body. You can also place up to 5 observer marks on any location, person or co-ordinate, allowing you to track and view those locations at any time.
Yeah, this was fucking weird.
I could turn into a weird Grey Fog Entity. But the biggest thing was that it just removed the penalty of Void Travel. I could stay there as long as I wanted as long as I had the energy to maintain Chaos Entity Release. Sure, the time dilation was gone but I could just nope out of any fight I wanted. And the observer marks couldn't even be perceived by Venelana.
Hell, using it I was even able to peek up Grayfia's and Venelana's skirts, for purely scientific reasons, of course, I needed to know for sure they did not notice me. And they didn't, Grayifa wore pure white lace underwear while Venelana wore black, so far Chaos Entity Release was my favourite ability without a doubt.
Having an entire dimension to yourself that no one could intrude on felt so nice. Too bad I could only use Chaos Entity Release with all 3 ability slots sacrificed so it wasn't that useful in combat.
If I got a portal-type ability could I open portals into the void dimension to take people in with me or trap them there? Well, I already knew about the trap people there part.
Set Trap, an ability I seldom used before became very useful when I used Void Travel with it.
Whenever someone stepped on the trap, they would be forcefully sent to the Void Dimension temporarily, from testing it with Oro I discovered that they were gone for 30 seconds but I was sure someone strong enough like Tiamat could probably muscle their way back. The problem was that they could use it to their benefit to reposition themselves, at least they didn't get the time dilation I did.
But hey, who cares? I could "You're going to the shadow realm Jimbo, people."
The timeout dimension for naughty boys.
I spent a while training hand-to-hand with Koneko to get down using Void Shift offensively properly. And I discovered that my strength was... actually not that worse than Koneko's now. Yes, I was still noticeably weaker, but before when it was like a grown man versus a child, now it was closer to an out-of-shape man versus a man who worked out regularly.
And Koneko helped me discover a small flaw in Void Shift, there was a brief moment where my body was rippling back into existence where I was vulnerable and she landed a solid punch when I was doing so. But overall, I... actually defeated Koneko.
She hadn't anticipated me rippling back into existence above her and pinning her down with my Natural Weapon wings. In fact, I had multiple ways to kill Koneko. I could've used Natural Weapon weapons to have sheared her neck off by placing it in a scissor shape as I faded back into reality.
Of course, she was actually kind of down about being defeated by me so easily when she was supposed to be my senior so I had to sit with her for a while and patted her to get her out of her slump and comfort her. But I suspected she just wanted an excuse to spend more time with me which I would have accepted without reservations if she accepted but I liked the smug face she made when she thought her plans worked so I let her have her moments.
And once I excused myself I found a moment to pull my newest ticket I gained for defeating Koneko in a proper fight as the gacha acknowledged my triumph over the bishop. The same couldn't be said about Kiba, he was too fast for me.

[Smell the Magic]
|Rarity: Rare|
You can smell magic and mysticism. You can decipher the scents of people to learn more about them from their magic. A necromancer might have the stench of death and decay on them. Ice magicians may smell like crisp winter air. Etc.
____________________________
...That sure was a trait. I don't know what the hell to think about being able to smell magic but it sounded helpful...? I tried it out and noticed Koneko smelled kinda like grass and nature.
I could try out my new and improved sense of smell later. Because it was finally time to give Akeno my gift. Tiamat teleported the necklace I wanted her to make and teleported it into my room.
...Although it looked significantly more elegant and expensive than I had anticipated. Looking like something a queen would wear, and not the peerage kind. She even managed to make the orb smaller, to the size of a medium gem to fit in the necklace. Regardless I took it from my room and used my new sense of smell to find Akeno, following the scent of lightning I eventually reached a clearing at the back of the manor.
I slowly approached the meditating Akeno, taking care not to disturb her but she noticed my presence anyway, cracking an eyelid open and giggling as she saw me approach.
"Hello Yuta-kun, how are you? Need something from me?" As always, her words looked innocent but her tone of voice certainly implied otherwise.
"No, the opposite really. I wanted to give you something Akeno-san." Akeno got up from where she was sitting and smiled, a light pink dusting her cheeks.
"Oh~? And what is that?" I could tell that she was definitely half expecting me to pull my pants down and show the gift that was in there but I was going to give her an actual gift.
I pulled out the necklace from my pocket and she opened her eyes wide as I dropped it into her hands. She looked between me and the ornate necklace, it was made of gold and the Ord of Firmament was somehow shrunk down to the size of a fingertip, but the expert craftsmanship of the necklace was apparent. Akeno blushed and put a hand on her cheek.
"Ara ara~ what an expensive-looking necklace. Are you perhaps trying to propose to me with this gift Yuta-kun?" I blushed for a split second before shaking my head, if I gave in to her flirting now I wouldn't be able to leave here for an hour. As much as I enjoyed Akeno's... services, I couldn't spare the time right now, and relaxing was the last thing I wanted to do.
"No, at least not right now." I did a little joke and Akeno blushed a bright red at my words. "My ability randomly dropped a rare gem in my hands that amplifies wind and lightning magic, and I decided to fashion it into a necklace as a thank-you gift, for taking care of me and everything else. ...And also because you are the strongest Lightning magic user I know. I hope you like it."
Seeing her a little stunned, I grabbed it out of her hands and placed it around her neck. Akeno flushed and her neck felt warm under my fingers. I decided to encourage her a little.
"I think it looks great on you Akeno-san. It makes you look even prettier." Akeno absentmindedly inspected the stone around her neck before giving me a twitchy smile.
"Y-yes, it looks very pretty Yuta-kun, thank you very much. This feels a bit excessive for a gift. I don't think I have done nearly enough to warrant a gift like this." She said, crackling some lightning in her hands, her eyes widening as she saw her enhanced abilities in effect. She still looked shaken by something, her cheeks flushed a pretty red as she turned to me and licked her lips.
"It feels like I have to pay you back for such a thoughtful gift."
I waved my hands.
"You don't have to feel indebted to me Akeno-san. It's a gift after all-"
Before I could finish my words, Akeno grabbed my collar and smashed lips into mine. Before her tongue slipped into my mouth as she put her entire body weight against mine, her breasts smooshed up against my chest as she violently made out with me and I tried my best to reciprocrate.
If Koneko's kiss was a chaste one, Akeno kissed me like a hungry beast trying to taste all parts of my mouth. Our tongues entwined and my hands instinctively explored her body, taking a quick grope of her meaty yet soft behind before our lips separated and she looked at me with a hungry smile. Like a hungry bear seeing a fawn.
"Ara~ that kiss made me rather hungry Yuta-kun. Can you think of anything to feed me with~?" She licked her lips and I knew my fate was sealed.
Yeah, forget about what I said about a dozen paragraphs earlier.

After my little tryst with Akeno. And by that I meant blowing my load into her mouth, over her face and on her breasts three times in a row I returned to my scheduled masochist levels of training. My control over Iron was getting incredibly good.
Though it felt like I had almost approached a wall with Iron Manipulation. Like there was something I could do with it, there was something behind that wall but I didn't have the ability to get past the wall and use whatever was behind and it was slightly frustrating to me.
Still, I tried my best and trained late into the night, doing intense physical training while trying to make intricate shapes with iron to practise my precision and control. After a long day of training I took a quick shower in the showers(I did not trust the hot springs after what happened last time).
As I walked back to my room I looked at my hands. They were rough after a day of arduous training but they would go back to normal soon.
Was I strong enough? I felt more confident with Void Shift in my arsenal against Riser but was Void Shift and whatever other ability I pack going to be enough to take Riser down? I didn't know.
Shaking my head I opened the door to my room and I didn't know what I expected to see in my room but it definitely wasn't-
"Ah, you are finally here Yuta-kun."
-A half-naked Grafia in lingerie sitting in my room and drinking wine.
So I couldn't help but blurt out my real thoughts.
"What in the goddamn...?"
Seriously.
What the hell?
A/N: Yuta can't escape the assassin build. He is built to be essentially the opposite of Hakari, Hakari stacks physical enhancements and battle continuation abilities, being a monster of endurance while Yuta is essentially a one-shot stealth rogue build. Void Travel was a blessing to him by the Gacha Gods, it was probably one of the best Rare Rank abilities that he could have gotten due to the sheer amount of synergy it has with his build in contrast to Hakari who probably couldn't have much of anything with it.
Akeno is horny and the sky is blue. Yuta is farming those affection points without knowing. And Grayfia has finally come to her decision, Yuta has no idea what is coming to him, but one thing is for sure. The next chapters will be spicy.

TFTC also the thing about Koneko, I assume it's a typo about her being a bishop? Looking forward to Yuta's and Grayfia's extra scene later!
