That afternoon.
Under Yuki Amehara's guidance, Ren Kuro personally went to the Student Council office.
The Dawn Society had finally gathered five members, officially meeting the academy's requirements and no longer existing in its half-broken state.
In two days, the Dawn Society would face the Thorn Flower Club in a club battle.
Because of that—
Ren Kuro planned to gather the club members and hold a training session.
However, to his surprise, only Yuki Amehara responded.
The mysterious assassin girl, who came and went like a ghost, still hadn't appeared.
As for Alex Bell and Aisha—
as this year's genius freshmen, they clearly didn't need any training sessions at all.
Ren Kuro felt somewhat discouraged and was already thinking about slipping away.
But then he noticed a trace of longing hidden deep in Yuki Amehara's eyes.
He had no choice.
So he brought him to the academy's training building.
"President… in the Dawn Society's club battle against the Thorn Flower Club… do I really have to participate?"
Yuki Amehara sounded uncertain.
"Of course you do," Ren Kuro replied lazily.
"The club battle follows the format of the Imperial Academy Tournament, which means teams are required."
"You need at least five people."
"And since the Dawn Society only has five members… you're one of the main fighters."
Yuki Amehara hesitated.
"But… I still haven't opened my Spiritual Sea."
"I don't have any spiritual energy inside my body."
"And I haven't developed any combat techniques."
"I can't fight at all…"
Ren Kuro patted him on the shoulder.
"If I say you can do it, then you can."
"Trust me."
Just a moment ago, Ren Kuro had used his chakra to examine Yuki Amehara's body.
It was difficult to imagine.
Such a powerful physique—
yet it had never been properly trained.
This guy spent all his time worrying about how to open his Spiritual Sea.
Without realizing that his naturally powerful body was actually the source of his true strength.
Ren Kuro even suspected that Yuki Amehara might have awakened a Enhancement-type ability.
In this world, supernatural abilities were generally divided into three major categories.
Elemental-type, Enhancement-type, and Psychic-type.
Elemental abilities were the most common—things like earth, fire, water, wind, and lightning.
The Ice ability awakened by Serina was also considered an Elemental-type ability, a mutated form of water.
Enhancement-type abilities focused on strengthening the human body—strength, speed, senses, and so on.
Even the recently popular field of biological modification belonged to this category, using mutated beasts to enhance the human body.
As for Psychic-type abilities, they were considered the strongest among the three categories.
They were mysterious and unpredictable, making them almost impossible to guard against.
In Ren Kuro's eyes—
Yuki Amehara's natural physique was practically made for Taijutsu.
Ren Kuro was preparing to teach him the Eight Gates Technique.
The pinnacle of physical combat from the Naruto ninja world.
However—
the decision ultimately had to be Yuki Amehara's.
The Eight Gates was an S-rank forbidden technique.
Using it would cause tremendous damage to the user's body.
Even with Yuki Amehara's powerful physique, he wouldn't be able to completely eliminate those side effects.
Ren Kuro had already seen it.
The Eight Gates Technique lay quietly among the options on the system's lottery wheel.
But—
drawing once cost 50 reward points.
And with dozens of possible rewards in the pool…
what were the chances of actually drawing the Eight Gates Technique?
How many reward points would that take?
If his luck ran out, Ren Kuro wouldn't even have a place to cry.
That stroke of luck from last time…
he didn't dare hope for it again.
Sigh.
Better not think about it.
From now on, he needed to focus on the Battle Network, complete system missions, and earn reward points.
Upgrade the system and let it carry him to greatness.
One day he would reach the peak of life—
marrying a beautiful and wealthy woman.
That was the true path of success.
The Battle Network facility was located right next to the training building.
Ren Kuro told Yuki Amehara to practice on his own in the training hall.
Meanwhile, Ren Kuro slipped into the Battle Network training room.
Just as he was about to enter—
the door to the training room suddenly opened.
A small girl with panda-like dark circles under her eyes appeared in the doorway.
