"This is actually good."
Shido muttered as he lay on his bed, reviewing the rewards he had received from the quest.
[Quest 2 Completed: Become an Adamantite-Rank Adventurer]
Rewards:
Perfect Copy (Advanced Level)
Gravity Manipulation (Perfection Level)
300,000 EXP
40,000 SP
He already had a general idea of how Gravity Manipulation worked, especially given its "Perfection Level" mastery. The real mystery, however, was the skill Perfect Copy. He couldn't recall which world it originated from or what it truly entailed since Shido didn't really manage to watch every anime on his previous life.
Curious, Shido decided to open its description to find out more.
Perfect Copy (Advanced Level) - is a skill originating from Kuroko's Basketball. It allows the user to flawlessly replicate any technique they observe, whether it's a physical skill, a magic spell, or a supernatural ability. With just a single glance, the user can reproduce the skill with identical precision, seamlessly adapting it to their own body and combat style.
When Shido read the description, his eyes lit up with excitement. With this skill, he could potentially copy martial arts, magic spells, combat techniques, or even esper abilities.
'Kuroko's basketball? Isn't that a normal world?'
Shido's lips twitched when he discovered that such powerful skill would come from a normal world, especially when it was a sports anime.
He hadn't expected a skill from a seemingly normal world to have such a versatile and powerful application here. However, since it was only at the Advanced level, he assumed there would be limits. Most likely, he could only copy some techniques to a certain extent and not those powerful ones.
However, even with its current limitations, Shido wasn't disappointed. The skill could be leveled up in the future, and once it reached a higher tier, he'd likely be able to copy any technique without restraint. That thought alone was enough to make him look forward to what was coming in the future.
When he finished examining the effects of his first reward, he decided to see the description of the second skill he received from the quest.
Gravity manipulation.
Shido had watched countless anime in his previous world, and he could immediately recall several characters who wielded gravity or space-based powers. As he stared at the skill name, two possibilities came to mind, One Piece and Rakudai Kishi no Cavalry.
'It's probably from one of those two', he thought.
And just as he suspected, when he opened the skill's description, the origin became clear, it was indeed from one of them.
Gravity Manipulation (Perfection Level) - a skill used by Nene Saikyo from Rakudai Kishi no Cavalry. It allows her to freely control gravitational forces within a targeted area, crushing enemies under immense pressure, pinning them in place, or altering gravity's direction to disorient opponents. It could also deflect attacks and projectiles, and even pull down a meteor from the outer space in a matter of seconds, it's force could even destroy a country. At the highest level, it is able to influence the sixth dimension.
Reading the description, Shido know that he underestimated this skill. It was much stronger than he thought. The sheer destructive potential, combined with battlefield control, made it one of the most terrifying skills in his arsenal.
Still, he was thankful.
'Good thing it came from Rakudai', he thought with a relieved sigh. 'If it were from One Piece, there was a chance I'd have inherited that annoying curse of being unable to swim.'
He chuckled to himself. Not being able to swim might be a minor issue in a landlocked region, but with how often things went south around him, he preferred to keep all his options open. He could actually remove the side effect of the skill but that would cost him more SP.
With this skill, his crowd control would take another leap and he would also be much stronger than before. His quests would also be a little easier to complete especially the last two which made him a bit speechless. But, he decided to think about that later since he also wanted to sleep.
After doing a night exercise with Clementine for a few hours, they decided to stop since Clementine's body cannot handle Shido's almost unlimited stamina by herself. Initially, she was quite wild at the beginning even though it was first time. But she had underestimated Shido's skill and the pleasure made her moan as she reach the peak.
With Clementine's seductive body, Shido would of course go all out and give her the sensation she had never felt before. After a few hours of exercise, Clementine started to beg Shido to stop since she thought that she would die from the intense pleasure if Shido kept going.
Shido wasn't that cruel to continue when Clementine cannot handle it anymore so he stopped and they laid down together on the bed with Clementine snuggling on his chest. It was when she discovered the happiness of being a woman before she fell asleep with a satisfied smile on her lips.
And now, looking at her peacefully sleeping face, Shido had to say that if Clementine was always like this then people wouldn't thought of her as a cruel and sadistic woman. If she let go of her killing desire and turn into a new leaf then it was possible for her to be recognize as a saint. Unfortunately, that didn't happen and Shido also didn't mind since with him beside her, he doesn't have anything to worry about her sadistic tendency.
He was then pulled from his thoughts by a soft groan beside him.
"…Mmrghhh."
Clementine stirred as Shido shifted slightly, her eyes fluttering open.
"Sorry, I woke you." he said, his voice was soft and apologetic.
"…It's okay," she murmured, her voice husky from sleep.
She blinked once, looked at him briefly with half-lidded eyes, then closed them again. Wordlessly, she scooted closer, adjusting her position until she found the perfect spot to snuggle, right against his side.
"Alright. Let's go back to sleep, you're tired after all." Shido said while caressing her slender back. He had to say, Clementine's body was lean and toned, with just enough muscle on her abdomen to show her strength without taking away from her feminine allure. He liked that about her, dangerous, but beautiful.
Clementine stirred slightly at his words, then opened one eye and shot him a cute but sharp glare, her lips forming a pout.
"Hmph. And whose fault do you think that is?" she grumbled, clearly she still felt a bit sore between her legs, but she was not truly angry.
"Sorry, sorry, but didn't you enjoy it?" Shido felt a little awkward since it was really his fault but because he had a thick skin, he didn't show it on his face and tease her instead.
"Well…" Clementine looked away, her voice trailing off. A shy blush crept across her cheeks as she gave a small nod. She had, in fact, enjoyed it. Deeply. Even if it was her first time, she had lost herself in the moment, moving wildly. Her hips moved madly while straddling him driven by pure instinct and desire.
Shido laughed again seeing Clementine who was known for her merciless and sadistic character to show such a girly expression.
"Stop laughing!" she pouted, flustered, and began hammering her fists lightly against his chest. Her strikes had no real strength behind them, more playful than angry.
"Alright, alright." Shido grinned, catching her wrists gently.
The two of them stayed like that for a moment, enjoying each other's warmth and presence. After a bit more teasing and laughter, the tiredness finally caught up to them.
Wrapped in each other's arms, they let the peaceful silence of the night lull them to sleep.
