...
Soon, the dojo was a sea of groaning bodies. Only one person from the Judo Club remained on his feet: Shoda Shinichi. He stared at the fallen forms of his clubmates, his lips trembling and his legs quaking uncontrollably.
According to the ga's rules, a defeat was only registered when a character's health dropped below thirty percent. By so miracle, Shoda Shinichi was still just above that threshold.
"Don't... don't co any closer..."
He watched, wide-eyed, as Rovel advanced on him, each step echoing like a death knell in the silent dojo. Shoda scrambled backward until his back hit the wall, the hard surface offering no comfort, only the reality that he was trapped. His psychological defenses, already strained to their limit, began to shatter.
"STAY AWAY FROM !" he shrieked, his voice cracking with pure terror.
[You have defeated Shoda Shinichi (Level 11). Gained 185 experience points.]
[You have defeated an opponent using Basic Kendo (White). Skill proficiency 55.]
After clearing out the Judo Club, Rovel had amassed a total of 1,233 experience points. His current status was [EXP: 1040/3000], and his Basic Kendo proficiency had climbed to a staggering [8300/10000].
The only real downside was the lack of a field buff. If there had been so kind of environntal or quest-related bonus active, the skill proficiency gains would have been even more absurd. A real sha.
"Next club," Rovel announced, turning to Sugi Mikado, who was standing by the door looking utterly shell-shocked. He gestured for him to lead the way.
"Yes, Second Seat!" Sugi Mikado snapped to attention, his response as crisp and imdiate as a soldier receiving a direct order. This ti, the title of "Second Seat" was uttered not out of simple respect, but from the very depths of his soul, laced with a deep sense of awe.
In the wake of this single, decisive battle, the average trust level of the Kendo Club mbers toward Rovel had surged to forty percent.
Their next destination was the Aikido Club.
Before long, another chorus of pained groans and tearful cries filled the air.
Sugi Mikado could only watch, his heart pounding at the sheer, unadulterated violence of the scene. The Aikido Club had several female mbers, but Rovel showed not a shred of hesitation. Without holding back in the slightest, he efficiently and thodically converted every single one of them into a neat bundle of experience points.
"Next..."
"And the next..."
The entire process took two hours. In that ti, Rovel systematically swept through all six of Chiba Academy's martial arts clubs, leaving only his own Kendo Club untouched.
[C-Rank Quest: Rectify the Clubs - Completed!]
[Quest Reward: Prestige in Chiba Academy 200.]
[Ding! Having defeated all Martial Arts Club presidents in Chiba Academy aside from Raiden i, you have obtained the Excellent-grade title: Under One Person.]
[Title: Under One Person]
[Effect: Within the grounds of Chiba Academy, all individuals except Raiden i will suffer a 10% reduction to all attributes when facing you.]
[Description: You are the man pinned down by Raiden i.]
Rovel stared at the system window, a silent question mark forming in his mind. Wasn't there sothing fundantally wrong with that title description?
Still, the effect itself seed rather useless. After all, with Raiden i being the sole exception, was there anyone left in this school who could even pose a threat to him?
He did wonder, however, how long the debuff would last on the other students. If it was a persistent effect, he could totally co back every now and then to farm them for experience and proficiency. The thought brought a faint smile to his lips.
The strongest club in Chiba Academy was, without a doubt, the Kendo Club, with the Judo Club a distant second. The remaining clubs were all significantly weaker. Consequently, the experience they yielded was far less, averaging under a thousand points per club.
But it was more than enough. He had reached Level 7.
Rovel glanced at his experience bar: [3000/5000]. He only needed another two thousand points to level up again.
More, his Kendo proficiency was now [9953/10000]. He was on the very cusp of a breakthrough.
Just as Rovel was leading the exhilarated, almost fanatical Kendo Club mbers back to their dojo, they were t with a sight that froze them in their tracks.
Standing inside, a silent and imposing figure cloaked in purple, was their president. The triumphant atmosphere evaporated instantly, replaced by a wave of cold sweat that washed over every single mber.
Raiden i heard their approach and cast a cool glance in their direction. Sugi Mikado and the others flinched, not daring to utter a single word. They scurried silently to the side of the dojo and began their practice swings with a desperate, feigned focus.
"Where did you all go?" Raiden i's gaze settled on Rovel, who stood at the head of the group. Her tone was calm, but it carried an unmistakable edge of interrogation.
"Ahem..." Rovel cleared his throat lightly. "We went to engage in so... 'friendly exchanges' with the other clubs."
"Friendly exchanges?" i's brow furrowed, a flicker of displeasure in her violet eyes. "Did I not tell you yesterday that training would continue today? You wasted valuable training ti on 'exchanges'?"
"It wasn't a complete waste," Rovel explained, his tone even. "I'd say I gained quite a bit from sparring with them."
Sugi Mikado and the others, who were shalessly eavesdropping, felt their hearts leap into their throats. 'This is the part where you apologize!'they scread internally.'Why are you talking back to Raiden i?!'
Everyone knew the proud Thunder Queen had a formidable temper. Provoke her, and your life at Chiba Academy would beco a living hell.
Yet, the explosion they anticipated never ca.
"Sparring? I thought you said it was an exchange," Raiden i said, a hint of confusion softening her sharp tone.
"A martial arts exchange is a form of sparring, is it not?" Rovel clarified, finally revealing the true nature of their afternoon activities. "Besides, I've only ever formally learned Kendo. I haven't practiced any other techniques. I figured if I ever find myself without my sword, it might be useful to have learned a move or two from their styles."
Raiden i lowered her head, considering his words. His logic wasn't flawed, but she still felt the need to offer a warning.
"You should still maintain your focus on Kendo. Dabble in the others, but do not let them distract you. There is an old Shenzhou saying: 'Master one technique, and you master them all.' If you practice Kendo to its absolute extre, you can execute its principles even with your bare hands."
"Thank you for the guidance, President," Rovel said, his curiosity piqued. "Have you already reached such a realm?"
"Not yet," i admitted, shaking her head slightly. "But it is the realm I am pursuing."
She looked up, her gaze sharp once more. "Alright. Continue your training. I trust you haven't pointlessly exhausted your stamina from all that sparring." Her eyes held a clear challenge.
"Of course not," Rovel replied with a confident smile, stepping onto the central sparring platform.
"Then co!" Raiden i retrieved a wooden sword from the rack, her movents fluid and precise, and took her stance opposite him.
The mont their blades t, a cascade of notifications flooded Rovel's vision.
[You have sparred with Raiden i. Basic Kendo (White) proficiency 30.]
[Quest BUFF and Identity BUFF bonuses applied! Basic Kendo (White) proficiency 75 extra!]
[Basic Kendo (White) · Mastery (10000/10000). Proficiency is full. Promoting to the next stage.]
[You have achieved Basic Kendo (White) · Minor Accomplishnt (58/100000).]
[Basic Kendo (White) · Minor Accomplishnt Additional Effect: Sword Intent.]
[Sword Intent: When wielding a sword, you no longer rely on re muscle mory or rote forms. You can now infuse your very will into the blade. Different forms of Sword Intent will produce different effects.]
[Current Sword Intent: None.]
Rovel stared at the system panel, his mind reeling. An additional effect upon reaching 'Minor Accomplishnt'? What... was this?
"You dare to be distracted while sparring with ?"
Raiden i's voice, now laced with genuine anger, snapped him back to reality. Her eyebrows shot up, and with a movent too fast to follow, she swung her wooden sword. It sliced through the air with the sharp, terrifying montum of a thunderclap, aid directly at Rovel's head.
