Mai was the only one who came together with Natsuya . Neither Hitaka nor Rana came to visit Seiji's apartment .

Natsuya's two Spirit-branded Retainers had already given Seiji their encouragement .

Hitaka gave him a custom-made chess piece, while Rana gave him a physical copy of a new and popular video game… these two vastly different presents both contained the same heartfelt encouragement . Seiji could tell by the gifts he received through his system .

The chess piece brought along three reward cards named "Encouragement", "Expectations", and "Trust", while the video game awarded him with three cards that had identical names but different effects .

Hitaka's cards awarded him with cards that were a one-time temporary buff for his sword techniques' attack power, a one-time buff for his defensive spells or techniques, and a card that could restore his physical energy and heal physical wounds . Rana's cards awarded him with temporary stealth, a short duration buff for his speed and dexterity, and one chance to cast any spell without using mana… they were all quite practical cards .

Seiji was truly grateful for their feelings .

At this moment, Reo was happily playing the video game that Rana had given to Seiji . The television screen showed a bulky man who wore tight-fitting clothes . This man speedily built a house and used that house as his base to shoot at his enemies with a bubble gun . His enemies were all sent flying and exploded in brilliant flashes of light .

At this moment, there was a knock on the door . Seiji opened the door to see that Kaede Juumonji and Nozomi Uehara had come to visit him .

When the blonde-haired teacher entered, she greeted Mai and asked Reo about what type of game she was playing . Kaede joined the conversation in a natural manner .

This was the first time that the landlord had met Mai . Seiji introduced the two of them to each other .

Nozomi was rather curious about the fact that Mai worked as a maid . Nozomi asked questions about this that Mai politely responded to . They entered conversation naturally as well .

s.h.i.+ka came out of her room and sat down quietly next to Seiji .

This was the highest-level density of beautiful females' population that Seiji's apartment had ever experienced! As he was the only male in his apartment right now, Seiji felt like simply staying here was a type of enjoyment in and of itself .

Was it really alright to be so blissful right before the major tournament battle?

Seiji suddenly felt a mysterious ominous premonition while being in the middle of such a wonderful environment . Still, he soon forced this ominous premonition into the corner of his mind .

The girls soon finished preparing everyone's dinner .

Mika, Chiaki, and Natsuya's combined cooking efforts produced an abundant amount of food that looked delicious . Upon eating the food… it was indeed delicious .

This was already an excellent effort by the three of them for their current cooking skills . Seiji sincerely gave them his praise .

Yet, the landlord and the professional maid acted as food critics and pointed out the problems and where the food could still be improved .

As a result, everyone talked about the topic of cooking for the entire dinner… which seemed pretty nice to Seiji .

After he finished eating this meal which contained his girlfriends' heartfelt feelings, Seiji was satisfied to the point where he felt that he could face any challenge . It would be fine even if he transformed into Ultraman and saved the world!

It was just a mere Bloodwine Ritual tournament! He would win it for everyone to see!

The day of the Bloodwine Ritual tournament .

Seiji and s.h.i.+ka finished their preparations . After saying goodbye to Mika and the others, they got on Natsuya's car and headed towards the meeting location for the tournament .

Upon reaching the tournament grounds, Natsuya nudged up to Seiji and kissed him pa.s.sionately .

"You absolutely have to be careful . "

After separating their lips, she glanced directly into his eyes and gently gave him a reminder .

Seiji smiled and nodded .

"The same to you, Kagursan . " Natsuya also looked at s.h.i.+ka . "Please be careful . "

s.h.i.+ka also nodded slightly .

Seiji and s.h.i.+ka then both put on some sungla.s.ses, activated disguise magic, and got off the car .

The student council president sighed after she watched them leave .

She had been unable to obtain a spectator slot from her family . She was unable to accompany them .

Her boyfriend was fighting for her sake, yet she would be unable to even spectate the tournament… Natsuya felt truly apologetic .

All she could do was bring them here, then wait .

Seiji and s.h.i.+ka got on the pa.s.senger s.h.i.+p that Natsuya brought them to .

Right, the meeting location was a pa.s.senger s.h.i.+p!

The tournament would be held on an island by the name of Momozu Island .

Momozu Island was a formerly inhabited island which was abandoned due to various reasons . There was n.o.body living on this island now .

Having a large-scale battle on this island would be fine since no matter how large the commotion, it wouldn't attract any attention . Nor would there be any need for a large-scale coverup of the aftermath . This could be called a perfect place to hold a Spiritual Ability user tournament . The only small problem was that it was a bit difficult to get there .

The tournament hosts obtained some pa.s.senger s.h.i.+ps to help ferry the partic.i.p.ants onto Momozu Island .

Of course, it was fine if partic.i.p.ants wanted to get onto the island by themselves . They would simply need to arrive at the port on Momozu Island by the designated time .

Natsuya had offered to rent a s.h.i.+p to ferry them there . However, Seiji felt that there was no need when they could just take advantage of the host's free s.h.i.+ps .

There would be a certain degree of risk involved with meeting other tournament partic.i.p.ants on the s.h.i.+p . Yet, it would also be a chance to communicate with the other partic.i.p.ants .

In the worst-case scenario, perhaps there would be a major fight on the s.h.i.+p itself… But Seiji figured that the tournament hosts would prevent such an incident from occurring . Otherwise, what would be the point of the tournament?

But once Seiji boarded the s.h.i.+p, he discovered that all his previous thoughts were unnecessary . That was because there wasn't even a single other pa.s.senger!

Seiji and s.h.i.+ka were led to the dining room of the pa.s.senger s.h.i.+p . When they saw that only the s.h.i.+p's crew was present, Seiji asked and learned that the two of them were the only Spiritual Ability users to have boarded the s.h.i.+p!

It was already almost the scheduled time for the s.h.i.+p to leave .

Were all the other partic.i.p.ants going to the island on their own personal s.h.i.+ps?

If that was really the case, Seiji would feel really awkward .

Still, he could bear with this amount of awkwardness . He and s.h.i.+ka would be able to ride on such a large s.h.i.+p all by themselves . Plus, the food and drinks were free here . That was pretty sweet .

Seiji and s.h.i.+ka ordered some food and ate slowly . The servers even turned on the television for them to watch .

Seiji took out his cell phone and took a picture of the completely empty large dining hall . He sent this photo to Natsuya and the others and explained the situation .

"Riding on a large s.h.i.+p all by yourself? I want to experience that as well!" Chiaki was the quickest to respond .

"There's n.o.body else at all…?" Natsuya was also surprised by this .

"It seems like such a waste," Mika commented .

Seiji responded to all their comments .

At this moment, footsteps approached . Seiji reflexively turned around and saw two jacketed men that wore sungla.s.ses entering the dining hall .

These two men were partic.i.p.ants!

The two men had identical height . Their faces, figures, and clothing were quite similar . They had identical sungla.s.ses, hairstyles, and hair color . They appeared to be twins .

But they actually weren't… Seiji recognized them thanks to Hana's information on the tournament partic.i.p.ants . These two men were an a.s.sa.s.sin duo known as the "Is.h.i.+hana husband and wife" duo!

The reason that they were called "husband and wife" was actually quite simple . These two men were h.o.m.os.e.xual and had excellent tacit cooperation with each other . It was said that they rarely failed any a.s.signment that they accepted in the Spiritual Ability user society . Meanwhile, "Is.h.i.+hana" was simply the combination of the first kanji of their last names .

This a.s.sa.s.sin "husband and wife" duo was in the third category of tournament partic.i.p.ants . There was plenty of information available about them . Still, Seiji was instantly able to recognize them mostly because they hadn't disguised their appearance .

And as Seiji looked at them, they also noticed Seiji and s.h.i.+ka .

The Is.h.i.+hana duo saw… a teenage boy and girl who both wore black jackets, hats, and sungla.s.ses .

Feeling that something was off, both of them immediately used Astral Vision to inspect the teenagers . The a.s.sa.s.sin duo immediately found out that the teenagers had used disguising magic as expected . They then tried to pierce through the disguise magic, but to their surprise, they failed . This sent an instant chill through their hearts .

As a.s.sa.s.sins, Kenji Hanai and Tadayuki Is.h.i.+has.h.i.+ were rather confident in their own a.s.sessment capabilities .

This was especially all the more so for Is.h.i.+has.h.i.+ . His Astral Vision was a lot higher level than Hanai's, yet he was only able to partially see through to the teenage pair's real appearance .

"These two should be rather young, especially the girl . Her actual age should be much younger than the disguise magic she's put on… that's all that I can tell . " Is.h.i.+has.h.i.+ mentally communicated this to Hanai by using a spell .

"That's all that even someone like you can see? A young male and female pair that's able to use such high-level disguise magic… they're probably ninjas," Hanai guessed .
