Chapter 30: Strategies for Dealing with a Single Color
On Sunday morning, Xia Sheng opened his eyes and sat up abruptly.
He clenched his fist and felt as if his strength had increased considerably.
Before leaving that place last night, he added one attribute point to Strength.
He was fast enough to deal with the slimes, but he wanted to see if his increased strength would make his punches effective against them.
As for the special attribute, he didn't know what it could do for the time being, so he didn't bother with it.
The increase in strength from 5 to 6 is already quite noticeable. If it continues to improve, Xia Sheng feels he could even shatter a stone pillar with a single punch.
If this power still can't destroy the slime, then it's not because of the fist; it means they need something special to deal with it.
For example, the objects in that place, or other special things—such as the special attribute within his body.
Xia Sheng guessed that the special attribute he had awakened must be related to dealing with intruders, but he couldn't feel anything in his body right now.
Perhaps, you can only feel it in that place.
There's no use thinking about it now.
Xia Sheng got out of bed, washed up in the bathroom, and then went downstairs for his morning run.
Before he knew it, he had been in this world for more than a week and had already adapted to life here.
After all, his situation of living alone hasn't changed, and there are still many things to look forward to in this world; it's not an unfamiliar world.
Their existence is a given.
Not long after Natsumi ran off, Shiina Mahiru arrived.
She warmed up by stretching her body, and when Xia Sheng ran up to her, she started to catch up with him and ran alongside him.
"Good morning," Xia Sheng greeted him.
"Good morning," Shiina Mahiru replied calmly.
The two stopped communicating and ran until the end.
The angel's panting was surprisingly pleasant to hear. As Xia Sheng listened, he suddenly realized that it wasn't that people didn't like morning runs to exercise, but rather that they lacked companions to go with.
Who could resist the sound of a cute girl's panting?
Even when drenched in sweat, she is still so alluring, and faintly exudes a pleasant fragrance.
The saying "Even the sweat of a lovely girl smells sweet" seems to hold some truth.
"Was there breakfast for me today?"
Back at the apartment, as they entered the elevator, Natsumi watched Shiina Mahiru's slender figure pressing the floor buttons and couldn't help but strike up a conversation.
"No," Shiina Mahiru replied without turning her head.
Disappointment...
"Playing the victim won't work. I'm not some pushover." Shiina Mahiru turned around, glanced at Natsuo, and smiled faintly.
"We're comrades after all."
"Does this have anything to do with me cooking for you?"
"It seems...there isn't?"
"Good to know."
"Ugh."
The elevator stopped with a sigh from Natsumi. The doors opened, and Shiina Mahiru stepped out, followed closely by him.
The two went home one after the other without saying a word.
Xia Sheng took a shower, changed into his clean outdoor clothes, and waited at home for a while.
The angel didn't come knocking to deliver breakfast.
He could only buy a simple bread and a carton of milk at the convenience store, and after eating, he would go to Isshiki Iroha's house to continue tutoring her.
Today is the last day, so we have to give it our all.
Upon arriving at Isshiki Iroha's house, Natsuo followed Mrs. Isshiki into the room and saw Isshiki Iroha already engrossed in reading a book in the living room.
"This child is working very hard," Mrs. Isshiki said with a pleased smile.
"Isshige will definitely pass the exam," Xia Sheng said firmly.
"It doesn't matter whether I pass the exam or not," Mrs. Isshiki replied nonchalantly.
Her child was working so hard, and as a mother, she saw it all, and that was enough.
At worst, I can just go to a slightly less prestigious school.
"Please have more faith in Isshiki."
"Yes, I have complete confidence in Iroha."
Xia Sheng nodded and sat down opposite Isshiki Iroha.
Mrs. Isshiki, not wanting to disturb them, quietly returned to her room.
"Senior, you're here~" Iroha Isshiki looked up at him with a sweet smile.
"Do your best today," Xia Sheng encouraged.
"good!"
All morning, Natsumi was helping Isshiki Iroha overcome the difficulties in science subjects. She had a good learning ability, and the junior high school knowledge points were not difficult, so she easily mastered them.
At noon, Xia Sheng stayed at Isshiki's house and had lunch with the mother and daughter.
The same was true yesterday.
After lunch, Mrs. Isshiki took charge of cleaning up, while the two of them continued to review the difficult points.
I've actually finished reviewing all the material and have no problems with it, but to boost my confidence, I still need to keep practicing questions.
Natsumi kept giving Isshiki Iroha questions on topics she wasn't good at, and she buried herself in solving them.
An afternoon passed in the blink of an eye.
"Okay, that's enough for now."
Seeing that Isshiki Iroha had successfully solved the problem, Natsumi told her to stop.
"Phew—" Isshiki Iroha put down her pen and couldn't help but stretch.
"Um--"
Although she was wearing loungewear, a T-shirt and shorts, it wasn't a loose style. When she stretched, her curvaceous figure was on full display.
She's only in her third year of junior high school.
Natsumi couldn't help but think of Yukino Yukinoshita; comparing people is truly infuriating.
"It's all set. I'm confident you'll pass. Now, just rest and get some rest," Xia Sheng said with a smile.
This wasn't just him being polite; he was stating the truth. The reason was simple: Isshiki Iroha had already solved all the puzzles.
That's real strength.
"Really?" Isshiki Iroha looked at Natsumi in disbelief.
"Hehe~ You can solve every single problem, don't you have any confidence yet?"
"Well... let's keep things separate."
"If you believe me, then just believe me. After all, I transferred to Jingxiu Wenwu High School with a perfect score on the entrance exam."
Even though it's fake, we need to give Isshiki Iroha confidence now.
"Since you've said so, I'll believe you." Iroha Isshiki nodded with a sweet smile.
"That's more like it. I was looking forward to you calling me 'senior' properly."
"Hehe~ Senior will be so happy to have a cute junior like me, right?"
"That's hard to say."
Xia Sheng smiled and retorted, "There are plenty of pretty girls in our school."
"Could it be that senior has a girlfriend?" Iroha Isshiki's curiosity was piqued, her eyes shining.
"How could that be? Have you forgotten I just transferred here?"
"Oh yeah! Has no one confessed to the senior?"
"Huh? Why are you asking this? Are you going to confess your feelings to me? No way, you're too young. Let's talk about it after you pass the high school entrance exam."
"Senior, you..."
Iroha Isshiki clenched her fists, her cheeks puffed out in anger. She didn't know why, but she felt incredibly annoyed.
"Senior, you're sure no one's ever confessed to you!"
"No, but it's good, otherwise it would only affect my studies." Xia Sheng nodded and readily admitted.
"So, senior is the type who studies seriously after all."
"Studying hard is a student's duty. You should learn from me," Xia Sheng earnestly advised.
"Hmm... I'll think about it."
This clearly means a rejection.
This is normal. The three years of high school are the best time to enjoy youth. Not everyone can devote all their time to studying.
As long as you don't regret it, you can do whatever you want.
After all, she's not an independent and self-reliant girl; as long as she can get married, she won't have to worry about making a living.
Housewives, but that's the majority of girls here.
"Are you two finished? Then come and have dinner." At that moment, Mrs. Isshiki came to invite the two of them to dinner.
"Here I am! I've been starving!" Isshiki Iroha exclaimed excitedly as she stood up.
"Senior, hurry!"
"it is good."
