Chiba Shiori, who was lying on the bed, watched the topic of the conversation move away from Kazuki. All of a sudden, she thought of something.
"By the way, isn't an offline gathering going to be held soon? Can I still sign up for it now????"
"Oh? Does Gentera-kun want to join? Didn't you say you would rather die than going before this? XDDD"
"Chiyoko was arranging these things, but lately, her editor has been pressing her to submit her manuscript. She's been struggling with writer's block, so she has gone offline for these two days. If you want to sign up, you can hit Kucha up."
"I just opened the group chat and immediately saw the good news. Gentera wants to sign up, I'll add you right in!"
"Add me in then, I just happened to have writer's block lately as well in preparing to gather information. I wanted to write a short story on supernatural events on campus, so I was going to ask Chiyoko about the lives of students on campus, but she has gone offline (???_??)?"
"No problem, after all, Chiyoko is also joining the offline gathering, you can ask her personally then."
After finding out about Chiyoko's situation, Chiba Shiori did not reply.
Observing this, Kazuki understood the reason… It looked like he would have to go to the offline gathering too. With that thought in mind, he shut down Line. Sitting on a chair, he spread open a yellow Talisman. He was focused and calm as he held his talisman pen.
Regardless of whether the Chiyoko in this 'Light Novel Room' was Nishiyama Chiyoko, there was one thing that he could not avoid, which was his individual strength. Although he was already at the second Foundation State, in comparison to that demon in Akichi High School, he was still not strong enough.
Since he was not strong enough, it would be natural for him to make up for it by using Krypton gold props.
With the red reiki, he had more confidence facing off against the Multi-armed Demon as he could now draw the Lightning Attracting Talisman. The Lightning Attracting Talisman was an Enchanted Talisman that could only be created in the Metamorphosis State.
A basic Enchanted Talisman could be drawn at the Foundation stage, but some powerful Enchanted Talismans for Attacking needs a specific state. An advancement of that state would increase the quality of reiki along with it.
And to draw a Lightning Attracting Talisman, the lowest requirement would be red reiki. According to his calculations, the red reiki in his body can barely be used to draw five Lightning Attracting Talismans…
After picking up his mobile phone to send a text to Chiba Shiori saying he was 'currently practicing,' he started drawing Talismans. Not even one piece was successful throughout the whole night. This was because he had not fully understood the red reiki.
The next few days were routine for Kazuki. Besides eating, studying, practicing, and drawing Talismans, he also infused reiki in The Art of Kendo in the few days. Although the infusion of reiki could not increase the speed of the fluorescent light's erosion, he still continued to persevere.
Every night, he would pick up his mobile phone and silently peek at the 'Light Novel Room' on the screen for about an hour. He wanted to reply to Chiyoko the moment she appeared, but unfortunately, she never appeared. Therefore, all he could do was stalk around.
Through his stalking, he discovered that not only were their light novelists, there were also illustrators and cartoonists in the group chat.
Every time Kazuki's Line displayed an online status, Chiba Shiori would send Kazuki messages, asking him some questions. Previously, Kazuki had explained to her the concept of the other side of the world, but those were just some basic stuff. After all, there was so much more knowledge than she had yet to understand.
This condition lasted till Monday.
Mondays were the days when he was required to give lessons to the Furuhashi quadruplets. According to the notice he received in the canteen two days ago, the Furuhashi sisters chose to have their lessons from 6pm to 8pm.
The main reason was that Furuhashi Harunaka did not want to miss any society activities. She insisted on practicing at the Kendo Association every day, and she did not want to miss it due to replacement classes. To Furuhashi Harunaka, Kendo practice was more important than the progress in her studies.
Kazuki respected their decision. After all, they were his bosses who were paying him.
AT 5.30pm in the afternoon, Kazuki appeared at the school gate on time. He had already eaten dinner, for if he were to eat dinner only after he had finished teaching, he would probably faint from hunger.
After the Second Foundation State, his food intake increased. It was fortunate for him that his salary now was more than enough to cover his appetite.
Furuhashi Harunaka arrived at the school gate very quickly after the club activities had ended. She noticed Kazuki after looking around for a while and greeted him with a big smile, "Hi senpai, sorry to keep you waiting."
Both Furuhashi Akino and Furuhashi Fuyuno did not join any club activities, so they had reached home much earlier. Although Furuhashi Natsui also joined a club activity, 'Kazuki's Fan Club's' society activities were different from the other societies. The activities were more idle, and they could leave whenever they wanted.
Only Furuhashi Harunaka was serious in joining the activities and practices of the Kendo Association, she was always the last to reach home. She was responsible for bringing Kazuki back to Suiryu Apartment for that day.
"I just arrived." Kazuki nodded gently and greeted her.
Furuhashi Harunaka and Kazuki maintained a certain distance from each other. She was a member of the Kendo Association, and she had to wear the Kendo suit every time she practiced. She had almost two hours of practice with a short break in the middle. Even so, she definitely sweated… There would definitely be the smell of body odor after sweating.
As a girl, she was self-aware of her personal image. Although the school's Kendo society also had simplified Kendo training suits, with a rigorous attitude, Furuhashi Harunaka always wore clean and neat suits to practice… She hoped to win the Kendo competition, so it was only natural for her to have a serious attitude.
Furuhashi Harunaka looked at the bag Kazuki was holding and joked, "That can't be information about everyone's studies in your bag right…"
"Yup." Kazuki nodded. "There are test papers in here too. I made a copy of your Senior High School Entrance Examination papers from Junior High School as well as the test papers from the first year of Senior High School. Let's not start any lessons tonight, we shall first get a clear view of the progress in your studies."
He was still unclear about what standard the Furuhashi sisters' level of knowledge was, so of course, he had to be familiar with that for him to teach according to their aptitude.
Furuhashi Harunaka looked at the heavy bag in Kazuki's hands and felt a headache coming on.
Suiryu Duplex Apartment was only about 15 minutes away from the academy, so Kazuki and Furuhashi Harunaka did not take long to arrive. On the way there, Furuhashi Harunaka got to know more about Kazuki's character. Sure enough, he was as rigid as a stone. If she did not start the conversation, she could not bear to imagine just how awkward it would have been.
No wonder Natsui said that even though the girls in her society liked Kazuki, they did not dare to approach him. Kimura-senpai was too cold.
Furuhashi Harunaka opened the door with her key, and they walked into the living room. Furuhashi Harunaka then noticed that there was nobody in the living room. She furrowed her brows unconsciously, then she smiled, "Senpai, please take a seat first. I just finished practice, and I am covered with sweat, I need a shower first."
After Kazuki responded, Furuhashi Harunaka went to the bathroom with her mobile phone in her hand. She then sent a message in their four-person group chat on Line. Akino would always play video games in her room after reaching home, but Furuhashi Natsui and Furuhashi Fuyuno both liked to lay on the living room couch for a while as, according to them, staying in their rooms made them rot.
"What is up with all of you? Why is no one in the living room?"
She was not afraid of the three of them not seeing it. All of them have set a ringtone to notify them whenever a message was sent to the group chat.
"In the middle of a game…"
"It's our first time having a male tutor, so Natsui went to change her clothes. I got nervous, so I went back to my room…"
"I'm changing."
"You've been changing for an hour, why are you still not ready?"
"Of course, I need to change into nicer clothes to present my perfect image to Senpai!"
"Hmph… What is there to be afraid of? Hesitate, and you will suffer defeat! Later I, Akino, will show Kazuki who the boss is."
Seeing this, Furuhashi Harunaka released a sigh of relief. She actually thought the three of them wanted to show Kimura, who was the real boss. Luckily, that was not the plan. As for Furuhashi Akino's words, she ignored it automatically.
But come to think of it, both Natsui and Fuyuno have seen that video and they would never have the guts to show Kimura who was the boss. It seemed like they were nervous.
Actually, Furuhashi Harunaka was quite nervous. After all, this was the first guy who had come into their house other than their father. However, since she was the eldest sister, she still had a pretty good mental state.
Hopefully, nothing bad will happen later.
