Chapter 175: Akane's Resolve
🕑 Added 2026-01-27 17:58:40 +0000 UTCIn the following period, Yuki, Akane, and the others lived here.
Yuki began training Alpha and Akane.
Since an organization was to be established, martial prowess was naturally essential.
Alpha, as a descendant of Heroes, possessed strong innate magical power. Under Yuki's training, her strength improved rapidly.
Alpha's training focused mainly on learning mana control, compression, and various combat techniques.
Mana compression was the top priority.
Because the martial artists in this world had a very crude grasp of mana usage.
This was evident in the original work where the protagonist Shadow continuously compressed his mana, surpassing anyone else's power in this world.
Moreover, in the original, he frequently complained about how primitive these people's methods of mana application were.
Therefore, Yuki's mana compression method not only opened Alpha's eyes; even Elisabeth and the others were very interested and joined the practice.
As for Akane, although in the original plot she became a Hero in the modern world, currently she was a mortal without any magical power.
So her primary goal was still to extract magical power.
The sun hung high in the sky. Under the shade of a tree, Akane sat cross-legged with her eyes closed, attempting to mobilize the magical power within her body.
In no time, she found she had succeeded!
A cool sensation spread throughout her body, and a power she had never felt before was born within her.
"I did it!"
She opened her eyes in pleasant surprise, excitedly calling out to the other three around her.
Alpha, Elisabeth, and Mary, curious, stopped what they were doing and walked over to Akane.
"Oh! To think the 'Mana Extraction Method' Master casually wrote actually works?!"
Elisabeth was somewhat surprised, looking at Akane with wonder.
Undoubtedly, this was a very unexpected thing.
Because before this, she had already probed and confirmed that Akane was an ordinary person without any magical power.
She knew there were many such ordinary people in this world.
They would have no connection to martial paths and could only pursue occupations available to commoners.
Although this world had magical power, there were no examples of people cultivating it postnatally.
So a cultivation method like Yuki's that allowed people to develop magical power postnatally could truly be called a divine miracle.
"Yeah!"
"And it showed results after just one day of cultivation!!!"
Mary felt it incredible to sense the faint trace of magical power Akane had just cultivated. Although it was weaker than anyone present, it proved the feasibility of this cultivation method.
At this moment, Mary looked at Yuki, who was lounging on a chair sunbathing, her eyes filled with adoration.
As for Alpha, it went without saying—she already revered Yuki as a deity.
"Since I have magical power now, does that mean I can try compressing mana and practicing other things too?!"
Akane couldn't wait to join the training with Alpha and the others.
Hearing this, Elisabeth and the others nodded.
"In that case, yes, you certainly can!"
Akane then joined the training.
To learn combat, one must choose a weapon.
And Akane's choice, as in the original work, was also the sword.
Then she began learning the many sword techniques Yuki provided alongside Alpha and the others.
Yuki, lounging on the side and slacking off, watched Akane's rapid progress with satisfaction.
It had to be said, she truly lived up to being the girl who could become a Hero in the modern world in the original plot.
Her cultivation progress was indeed fast.
Yuki had originally thought about directly modifying the settings to give Akane inherent magical power.
But this girl insisted she wanted to try cultivating it through her own efforts.
So Yuki casually compiled a cultivation method that could extract magical power for Akane to practice on her own.
And Akane didn't disappoint. She quickly grasped it and successfully extracted magical power in an extremely short time.
That was praiseworthy.
After observing their training for a bit, Yuki began to think.
He was helping Akane increase her strength here, then having the organization established and managed by Alpha and Elisabeth.
That would also count as helping Akane achieve her goal.
The rest could be left to Akane and the others. He could temporarily leave this world and let them develop independently.
He could come back to check on them after some time.
Soon, Yuki felt this plan was feasible and happily decided on it.
Night fell.
After everyone finished dinner, Yuki comfortably took a bath.
After his bath, just as he returned to his room, upon entering, Yuki saw Akane sitting inside his room.
Seeing Yuki enter, her face immediately flushed crimson.
Her gaze drifted uncertainly; the moment it met Yuki's, she quickly looked away, not daring to meet his eyes.
"It's so late. Is something wrong, Akane?"
Yuki closed the door, slowly walked to Akane's side, and calmly asked.
Hearing this, Akane seemed to hesitate for a moment, but then her eyes turned resolute. She parted her lips lightly and said:
"I... I said before I would repay you, remember?"
Yuki, hearing Akane's words, gently nodded.
"I remember. Although the mission isn't complete yet, you should have received quite a few fate-changing points by now, right?"
"Why bring this up suddenly?"
Yuki already knew what Akane was about to do but pretended not to understand as he asked.
"S... so right now, I want to repay Yuki-kun!"
"Thank you for changing my fate, not only bringing me here but also showing me a path."
Akane mustered her courage, turned her head, and looked directly at Yuki, speaking seriously.
"Hehe, it was just a small effort. Besides, I also get points out of it. Why wouldn't I do it?"
Yuki chuckled lightly, speaking calmly.
Akane nodded gently, then continued.
"Even so, I... I feel that repaying with just points is far from enough."
"So... I thought that for such a significant debt of gratitude, this is the only way to repay it..."
Akane's eyes were like autumn water, gazing affectionately at Yuki, her tone tinged with a trace of shyness.
"I hope... Yuki-kun won't refuse."
"Because this isn't just out of gratitude; it's also from personal feelings."
After saying this, Akane leaned into Yuki, falling directly into his embrace.
"After all, from the moment I saw Yuki-kun, I was already fascinated by you~~~"
Akane's eyes became somewhat hazy, looking at Yuki with a sense of craving.
Seeing this, the corners of Yuki's lips lifted into a smile, and he gently nodded.
"Alright, as long as you won't regret it!"
Embracing Akane naturally, Yuki intended to engage in an in-depth exploration with her.
Meanwhile, on the other side.
In the corridor, Elisabeth looked in the direction of Yuki's room, her small mouth pouting slightly.
"To think Akane-chan got ahead of me! Really!"
Seeing this, Elisabeth could only turn back, thinking she'd have to wait for the next opportunity.
