Chapter 469 - Chapter 469: The "Barbarian" Controlled by the "Spectator"

"The Boon system is different from the Potion system. The Boon system carries lower risks, and because the way to obtain power is through Boons, it can instantly elevate an ordinary person to a high Sequence."

"However, I did not bestow power beyond the Sequence. Instead, I made the power granted by the Boon system tend toward the Potion system."

"Simply put, the power you awakened is indeed mine, but I also gave you the opportunity to strengthen yourself autonomously. In the process of mastering the power, you can deepen it with your own abilities. Only when promoting do you need to find me to bestow deeper power again."

"Although this makes it a bit more troublesome, this Boon method also leans toward the Potion, so the power you master will be more suitable for yourself, rather than my unilateral bestowal."

"The most important point is that while this makes the method of acquiring power more troublesome, it greatly reduces the impact on those of you who acquire power through Boon."

This method has already diverged from the traditional Boon system, even leaning toward the Potion system, which is also a way to reduce the influence of the Boon system.

However, the problem still exists. Once the Boon is withdrawn, the power gained through this effort will also be lost.

If one does not possess extraordinary abilities such as stealing that can seize this portion of the Boon's power, once this power is withdrawn, all efforts will be in vain.

Of course, this poses no additional problem for Ren.

He did not intend to withdraw this portion of power, unless the person blessed with the power obtained the diary, and the power obtained through the diary duplicated the Boon's power. Only then would he withdraw his power.

The reason for making such an adjustment was simply to mitigate the impact caused by the Boon system.

"The training of this power is also simultaneously influenced by the acting method."

"Therefore, for the past week, you have been working as the Student Council President at Hakuo, unconsciously causing you to act like a top lawyer. Ah, perhaps a lawyer's workload is not even as great as yours."

Ren knew that only a few people in the Hakuo Student Council actually did work, and most of it fell to Hinagiku, the Student Council President.

The amount of work was probably several times that of an ordinary lawyer.

Coupled with the nature of the Student Council President's work, it prompted Hinagiku to unconsciously take on the role of a lawyer.

This was also why Ren proactively brought up the topic of promotion today.

"Is that so? No wonder I've felt my work efficiency has increased a lot recently."

Hinagiku had previously felt that she was reading documents much faster and handling many student matters much more easily. She had been wondering if she had improved in this area, but she had forgotten about the help of the lawyer.

"If it's convenient, then please help me with the promotion, Ren."

"Do I need to cooperate?"

"No, that's not necessary. It's just helping a believer upgrade their power."

Ren shook his head slightly, then raised his hand and placed his index finger on Hinagiku's forehead, elevating the Boon to the next stage.

Hinagiku waited curiously, but what followed was not a flood of information into her brain, but a strange sensation.

Chika, who was observing, had now entered Spectator mode. She could see many things at this moment.

Her Spirituality had almost doubled. Was this the boost after a Sequence promotion?

Other than Spirituality, she could not see much else in Spectator mode.

However, even if she could only observe Spirituality, Chika understood how exaggerated the promotion's boost was.

"It's done."

Ren withdrew his hand from Hinagiku's forehead, completing the promotion ritual.

"Eh? Is that all?"

Hinagiku still looked bewildered. She looked at Ren strangely.

"I thought this promotion would be like before, with a large amount of information flooding into my mind, telling me what the abilities of this stage are."

"Actually, normally, that would be the case. Different Sequences mean different types of power, and this different power will converge after promoting to a certain Sequence, allowing you to master the core power of that Sequence."

"However, Sequence 8 of the Lawyer Sequence does not have such complex abilities. The abilities you possess at this stage are also very simple. I think you will understand once you hear the name of this Sequence."

"Barbarian."

Upon hearing this name, Hinagiku paused, then instantly understood why she had not received any information at this stage. The name of this stage indeed did not require so-called information.

Connecting the name of the Sequence she was following, Lawyer, with the name of Sequence 8, Hinagiku understood what was going on.

"Problems that cannot be solved by law should be solved with fists?"

"I usually deal with Hakuo students. No matter how violent I am, I would not use my fists to solve students' problems."

Clearly, from Hinagiku's perspective, the acting for this stage seemed much more troublesome.

"Actually, it is not a problem at all."

Chika, who had been observing, exited her Spectator state and began to offer suggestions.

"The Barbarian role is actually the easiest. Isn't Miss Katsura always training Nagi? This Sequence just needs to be unreasonable, so why not just increase the intensity a bit when training Nagi?"

"To apply it to Nagi…"

Hinagiku was somewhat hesitant and worried at this moment.

"It's fine, it's fine. Nagi has also been frequently consuming Sea King meat obtained from Kaguya recently, and her physical fitness is improving faster than you imagine. Just slightly increasing the intensity of training will definitely be fine."

"Moreover, Miss Katsura, you must have felt it too. Nagi is getting stronger every day, and you have also increased your effort in training with her. You must have felt the pressure recently, right?"

Chika almost instantly saw through Hinagiku's concerns and her recent feelings.

Facing such a fact, Hinagiku had no way to refute it.

Recently, she had felt that Nagi's growth rate was much faster than she had imagined. The small improvements each day, accumulated little by little, added up to quite a lot.

Even if Nagi had not surpassed her yet, she could already feel that she was about to fall behind Nagi's growth rate.

"So, Miss Katsura, don't you want to become stronger with Nagi?"

"While power is not absolute, when needed, even a slight difference can lead to a passive situation. Isn't this a very good opportunity?"

"Compared to fumbling your way across the river alone, isn't it better to advance together with Nagi?"

These words truly hit Hinagiku's soft spot.

This was indeed not a bad thing.

"Then, I will consider it."
