86. Rewards

Izumi: Anyway, Kazuma. Don't you want to open your reward?

Kazuma: Somehow, I'm a bit afraid to open my reward chest.

Izumi: How so? You have a higher chance to get ★5, you know.

Tabane-chan: That's right, it's a legendary chest anyway. It should be something good.

Kazuma: Don't you all remember what I got last time?

Rory: Mahou Shoujo transformation.

Tabane-chan: Pffftt. Right. That was hilarious.

Izumi: Fret not, Kazuma. Maybe you will get the Ultraman transformation this time.

Kazuma: I don't need it!

Izumi: Why don't you try a Toilet Ritual?

Kazuma: Toi— What the fuck are you saying?

Izumi: Opening the chest while pooping.

Kazuma: Hell, no!!

Tabane-chan: Izumi-chan, don't babble something like that so casually.

Izumi: Ah, you guys have never played a game with a gacha system, have you? Something like that is pretty normal I would say.

Tabane-chan: A gacha game, huh? I only play an fps game.

Kazuma: I only played some action games. But, that was when I'm still on earth.

Izumi: Then, try it! I believe it will work.

Kazuma: You think I'm in the mood to do that?

Izumi: Hmmm. Whatever then… But, everyone is a bit curious about what you will get.

Kazuma: Lemme ask Aqua first to apply a blessing buff to me.

Izumi: Wdf…

Sure enough, Kazuma thought it through. Rather than a toilet ritual that Izumi suggested, he preferred to think of ways to increase his luck stat, and Aqua was the answer.

After a while…

Kazuma: [Just got Aqua Necklace (Stand) ★4]

Izumi: Stand? That kind of stand?

Kazuma: Isn't that ora ora ora ora ora something?

Izumi: No! It should be muda muda muda something.

Kuroneko: What the heck are you talking about? It's a Jojo Bizarre Adventure!!!

Izumi: Well, I've never watched that anime. I only know the battle cries meme.

Kuroneko: Lie. I can't believe it if you haven't read the manga or watched the anime.

Izumi: Well, I'll watch it when I have time. Anyway, have you come home after beating up Kazuma?

Kuroneko: Why do I have to tell you? Remember, I still have a score to settle with you!

Izumi: Fine fine! I won't ask again.

Kazuma: Let me see what kind of Stand this is.

Rory: Is it only me who is clueless about that thing?

Tabane-chan: Don't worry Rory-chan, it's the first time I heard the stand too.

Kuroneko: It's something like spiritual manifestation. However, normal people without being able to control their spiritual power would not be able to see it. Since we can use spiritual powers, magic, or ninjutsu, we can also see the stand without having to have a stand.

Kazuma: Hehe, it seems my stand is very strong.

Izumi: Could it be used for perverted stuff?

Kuroneko: Humph, a stand capable of possessing people. I'll bet he'll try it soon on one of the girls nearby.

Izumi: Kazuma. You're not that low, are you?

Rory: Hoo, that's interesting.

Kuroneko: Let's see if he dares to do that!

Tabane-chan: Anyway, guys. I have something to do, see you.

Izumi: Ah, see you.

Rory: Ciao…

Kuroneko: [Just got Tailwind Medical Support (merged skill) ★4]

Rory: What kind of skill is that?

Kazuma: Merged skill?

Kakashi: Seems like a good skill.

Kuroneko: What is this? Heal wounds of all allies, increasing speed and defense for 40 seconds. Also, generate a shield that lasts for 40 seconds for all allies if they're not injured? A minute cooldown?

Izumi: The heck, isn't that a skill from Bernard and Emma when combined into one?

Izumi remembered the game he had played in his previous world, and it was a turn-based RPG game, Summoners War. It was surprising to see that skill could be realized in his current life, although the one who got it wasn't him.

Kuroneko: Who are they?

Izumi: Both are characters from a game that I know. The speed will be increasing 30%, and the defense will be increasing 70% upon casting. It's quite strong support buffs.

Rory: That was a nice reward, little sister.

Kakashi: A skill from a game, huh? So not only will we get powers that should exist in other worlds, but even from games too?

Warrod: When I thought about it, combined with her divine sword's abilities, her defense was somehow almost indestructible.

Kakashi: What a coincidence. Your thought was the same as mine, Warrod-san.

Kuroneko: A game? Which platform? I never heard about that game.

Izumi: Android.

Kuroneko: Hmmm…

Izumi: Anyway, it's certainly a good skill.

Kakashi: Increasing 30% speed without any side effects is considered strong in my world. In addition, that skill can even give 70% def, healing, and shield for 40 seconds. That would be even stronger.

Kuroneko: What I'm wondering is, where in the world is the source of the various applications, information technology, and various kinds of games that are on our phones? It has even been updated until the end of 2022.

Izumi: What is clear, it comes from a world that is different dimensions from ours.

Kuroneko: Whatever. I gotta go. Right, Miyamura. Watch your back! Now, I'm sure I can take you down!

After Izumi read Kuroneko's chat, he smirked.

"Heh, this little girl can even threaten people. How interesting."

Then, another member sent a message in the chat.

Rory: Izumi, you should add a female member next time. It's not fun if there are only three girls here.

Izumi: I will think about it!

Izumi: [Just got Magic Destabilization Eye ★4]

After Izumi got the reward and immediately claimed it, Izumi felt his left eye throb. A bunch of information about his eye suddenly appeared in his mind. With that information, he understood that his left eye could be used to destroy magic spells up to the magic formations in front of him.

His left eye also changed its color. It was just, Izumi didn't realize it at all. His eye returned to normal as the throb disappeared afterward.

Rori: Magic destabilization? Something like interrupting the flow of magic when it's cast?

Izumi: You can say so.

Kazuma: Bruh… isn't that cheating?

Izumi: Not quite, Kazuma. Somehow I understood why this magic was regarded as ★4. That's because destabilization magic is only effective against magic, not another kind of power.

Rory: So, what's the effect?

Miyamura Izumi: It can destabilize magic and magical forces because this power can alter their properties or circuits, causing magic to be less effective, backfire, completely be negated, or even destroyed.

Kazuma: That strong? That's a cheat ability.

Warrod: So, if it's magic. You can destroy it immediately? Any restrictions or perhaps a deficiency?

Izumi: Yeah, any magic can be destroyed. As I said before, it was only effective against magic. It couldn't affect ninjutsu, qi, science manipulation, divine power, etc. The good thing is, you can alter your magic circuits or properties to make your magic more powerful.

Their chat lasted for the next hour. Then, they all put down their phones after ending their chat.

— — — —

In his room, Izumi tried out his new skill. Activating the magic destabilization eye, the iris in his left eye turned a golden color. Then, he activated his space magic and inspected the magic circle. He immediately perceived all of the information and automatically sent it to his consciousness after seeing the magic circle. Then he changed the structure of the magic circle immediately to negate his magic before the magic could be unleashed.

Izumi could freely cause the magic to be less effective, backfire, negate, or be destroyed if he changed the magic structures that he perceived. At the same time, he could increase the effectiveness or strengthen it if he modified it further.

What he didn't expect was how quickly he perceived information the instant he saw the magic circle. This made him ponder. Then, he smiled.

"This might be a good thing. This skill is certainly a top tier ★4."
