At 7:54, Nagi and Hinagiku, who had washed off their sweat in the bathroom, arrived at the dining room.
At this moment, their seats had already been assigned, and they were right next to each other.
The two then sat down in their respective seats.
Looking at their condition, Ren rested his chin on his hands, a slight smile on his face, and asked,
"How was your morning exercise?"
"What do you think?"
Nagi rolled her eyes directly.
"Hinagiku and I went for a morning run. I originally thought I would definitely win and lead the whole way. But who knew this person actually advanced? Her already monstrous stamina became even more monstrous, and she even made me lose my stable lead."
"Advanced?"
Sakuya looked at Hinagiku, pondered slightly, and then asked,
"Ren, didn't you say that the power of high-Sequence Boon has a great impact on believers?"
"Yes, this is the situation that the power of Boon needs to face. But I also didn't say that this problem always exists."
Ren naturally knew about the influence of the Boon system.
"So, I also made some changes to the Boon system."
"The Boon system is actually about establishing a connection between me and believers through faith. The more they receive my Boon, the more they will naturally be influenced by me."
"However, if I make some changes through Boon, and instead of me unilaterally bestowing power upon believers, believers strive to adapt to the power through a system similar to the Potion system, thereby gaining opportunities for advancement, then the influence of the Boon system can be minimized to the greatest extent."
"And this forms a special situation. The reason Miss Katsura gained the opportunity for advancement is because she unconsciously played the role of a Lawyer and adapted more to the power of a Lawyer."
Sakuya immediately realized a problem.
"Doesn't that mean Hinagiku's power is still within the Boon system?"
No matter how much it resembled the Potion system, it was still the power of Boon. As long as it was Boon, in a sense, its essence had not changed at all.
"That's why I said it's using a method close to the Potion system to reduce the impact caused by the Boon. However, the cost is that a lot of useless effort is required."
No power is perfect. One cannot gain greater power without paying some price.
It was just that Ren transformed the so-called price from affecting one's self-will into simply requiring more effort.
In a way, this was a losing proposition.
But the key was that this seemingly losing proposition did indeed minimize the impact of the Boon.
"This price is indeed acceptable."
Sakuya weighed the relationship between the two. She thought carefully and felt that this price was not very serious.
The only downside was that the power was still a Boon.
However, just as Ren said, this arrangement did indeed suppress the influence of the Boon to its lowest point.
"Indeed."
Hinagiku also nodded slightly.
Overly deep Sequence power easily makes one susceptible to the influence of the boon-giver, and this change indeed transfers the cost to other areas. Spending a little time and effort to adapt to the acquired power, the cost is indeed minimized.
As for whether the power is a Boon, in Hinagiku's view, it was not too big of a problem.
"Compared to the impact caused by the Boon, this is indeed acceptable."
Of course, Akemi also had her own thoughts on this topic. She raised her left hand and continued, "Actually, the impact of the Boon isn't a big problem for me."
All the girls looked at Akemi, and then Kaguya shook her head slightly.
"Miss Miyano, you are the one saved by Ren. Ren lent his power to you and your sister, which also changed your fates. You two will only cherish this opportunity more, and will not have too much resistance to this power of Boon."
"This is just like Miss Ikeda and Miss Hatamoto, who were also saved. They are the same."
"They are all people whose original fates were changed by Ren bestowing power upon them. Even if they know about the impact of the Boon, they will not resist. They might even feel that this is a necessary condition."
"However, Miss Katsura's situation is slightly different."
Kaguya looked toward Nagi.
"Miss Katsura's greater reason for entering this circle was her concern for Miss Sanzenin. Therefore, when the impact of the Boon can be reduced, she is the one who will accept it better. Spending a little time and effort is not too big of a problem."
"Ultimately, not everyone can become a devout believer."
"But Ren, can this Boon be changed like this?"
Ren nodded slightly.
"The main reason is that I am the one who bestows the power, so I can naturally change the rules within it."
"The restrictions of the Boon mainly depend on what the person bestowing the power thinks. If no control is exercised, generally, because my power is my consciousness, the blessed person will tend to transform toward the boon-giver after gaining power."
"Generally, this is not the boon-giver's intention, but the power causing the blessed person's change."
"In this regard, the reason why the Potion system over there appears to have madness and corruption is also the same reason."
Everyone present then remembered that the Boon system primarily depended on the boon-giver's thoughts.
The commonality between the two lies in the source of power, which also leads to their different circumstances.
"Let's put this topic aside for now. What does everyone think about today's itinerary in Izu?"
"Ah, I need to rest."
As soon as Ren finished speaking, Nagi immediately raised her hand.
"The morning exercise was a bit too much. I need to recuperate."
Hinagiku also raised her hand afterward.
"Me too. The morning exercise was too much. My body is still crying out."
As she spoke, she moved her body, which looked quite stiff all over, indicating that she needed more rest.
