[Generating buffs for the tester…]
[Buffs generated: Knight Does Not Die Empty-Handed, Ittō Shura]
Knight Does Not Die Empty-Handed
→ Any weapon held gains the properties of a Noble Phantasm (Rank D)Ittō Shura (One Blade Shura)
→ Can be used once per day
→ Compresses all power into one minute
→ After use, the body becomes extremely weakened
[Generating team buff…]
[Team Buff: Perfect Synchronization]
Perfect Synchronization
→ Fully harmonizes body and mind between teammates
→ The weaker person's physical ability rises to match the stronger one
→ Allows limited awareness of each other's thoughts
After processing all this information, Ji Ran fell into deep thought.
The three buffs weren't weak—
But they weren't overpowered either.
Knight Does Not Die Empty-Handed → gives him weapons even when unarmed
(D-rank isn't amazing in Fate, but in this world, it's top-tier)But… having strong equipment doesn't mean guaranteed victory
→ Skill and experience still matterHis combat ability? Just beginner-level skills from system manuals
→ Against real experts, he might get destroyed instantlyIttō Shura → classic burst skill
→ But if he fails to win within one minute, he's basically dead afterwardPerfect Synchronization → secretly the most useful one
Because Ji Ran's physical stats are weak—
This buff compensates for that completely.
"In short… decent abilities, but not brainless OP."
"If I act recklessly, I'll probably die within two episodes…"
"Hey, why did you suddenly go quiet?"
Seeing Ji Ran fall silent again, Kiana approached him with a softer tone.
"I've figured things out. That was my bad earlier… sorry."
"Ah, it's fine. Honestly, the fact you didn't keep making a scene already helps a lot."
Ji Ran suddenly leaned back slightly and reached into his storage.
"Eh? Why are you backing away? Don't tell me you're shy—"
"…What is THAT?!"
Kiana's expression instantly changed as she looked at what he pulled out.
"You pervert! As a guy, you're carrying women's clothes?!"
"Pervert my ass. Just change into them already."
Ji Ran turned away and tossed the clothes onto the bed.
"Before coming here, I guessed you probably didn't listen properly."
"Since the transfer was at night, you'd likely come in inconvenient clothing."
"At least this is better than pajamas for moving around."
"Or what? You planning to walk outside in sleepwear?"
"If you are, I won't stop you."
"…Thanks, I guess."
Kiana picked up the clothes and smiled.
"You're actually pretty thoughtful."
"Tch. Unlike someone who almost treated me like a kidnapper."
"You're still hung up on that…"
"…But yeah, that was my fault. Still—one thing at a time."
Holding the clothes, Kiana walked back to her bed and said in a slightly threatening tone:
"Don't peek."
"I won't!"
"Oh? So I'm not even worth peeking at?"
"…Think whatever you want."
Seeing Ji Ran completely turn his back—
Kiana's serious expression turned into a mischievous smile.
"Hehe… this guy is actually pretty innocent."
"At first I thought he was a criminal… but now…"
Then—
as she started changing—
something felt off.
The clothes felt… too perfect.
The material? Even better than what she usually wearsThe fit? Perfectly accurate
Too perfect.
Which led to one terrifying question—
"…How does this guy know my measurements???"
