Ryota had not had time to answer Misaki's question.
At this time, hasty footsteps came from outside the living room. The three people in the room turned to look at the same time.
A sexyly dressed high school girl, quickly opened the door at the entrance, and jumped into the living room in an extremely active manner.
As her skirt fluttered, most of her thighs were exposed, raised her arms as if walking on a balance beam, and shouted loudly:
"I'm here, Shiro-chan."
Ryota, Misaki, and Shinobu's gazes all focused on her. Meanwhile, Hayasaka realized something was wrong and blinked slightly.
The figures of three people in the living room came into the field of vision. Her raised hand and lively expression froze slightly.
The scene was embarrassing for a while.
Ryota and Shinobu couldn't help but want to laugh, but they couldn't laugh because of the consequences, so they could only endure it.
"Puff..."
Misaki wasn't worried at all, covered the corner of her mouth with one hand, and laughed gracefully.
Hayasaka: "..."
Finally, Hayasaka quickly dispelled the embarrassment in her heart and calmed down. Then gave Ryota a questioning look:
"Shiro-chan, what happened? Why did you bring an outsider into our house?"
Ryota: "..."
What is "our home"! ?
To lessen the embarrassment, Hayasaka instead redirects the conflict.
How despicable!
Ryota wanted to pretend he didn't speak. But, Misaki had already half closed her eyes and looked at him.
...
"That's how it is."
After Ryota explained, Hayasaka finally understood the current situation. It also makes Misaki's eyes normal and not sharp anymore.
"That villa is for practice?" asked Misaki.
"Yes." Ryota nodded.
Hayasaka also asked: "Aren't you deliberately making me angry?"
"Hmm?" Ryota looked at Hayasaka strangely, "Why do you think so?"
Hayasaka did not answer. She turned around, sighed softly, and whispered:
"The worlds of the two of you are destroyed… Forget it, there will be more opportunities in the future."
Many things had happened, and she could only accept the status quo. Hayasaka had adjusted her mentality, looked at Misaki with wary eyes and said:
"Don't read my mind!"
"I didn't do it, Hayasaka." Misaki smiled and said "Don't think badly of me, aren't we friends?"
Hayasaka glanced at her suspiciously: "You really didn't read it?"
"Of course."
Misaki nodded sincerely. But her heart is not so sincere.
(This woman suddenly confessed her love to Ryota? How despicable! Shameless! But... this seems good? I can try to learn...)
Misaki looked at Hayasaka with a smile on her face, but secretly scolded her a few words in her heart.
Can't read minds?
There isn't any. Everyone except Ryota can be read!
The other side.
Shinobu who was drinking black tea suddenly stopped lifting the teacup after hearing their conversation, and looked at Misaki in surprise.
Read minds... this little girl can read minds! ? Then didn't she... Uh, her previous guess was right!
After knowing this, Shinobu suddenly wasn't in the mood to drink tea. Luckily, what Ryota said next made her feel better.
"Shinobu, here is your key."
Ryota took out a transparent crystal from his pocket and threw it at Shinobu.
Shinobu took it and immediately said: "Let me transfer the points to you, Shiro-chan,"
"Don't rush, you must first understand the detailed information of the system, and then decide whether to practice or not."
Ryota reminded Shinobu. Then, he looked at Hayasaka, with a look of anticipation on her face and asked:
"Hayasaka, regarding the psionic system, can you tell me the specific details? To be honest, I only knew a rough outline until now, and I've always been curious."
"Don't you ask the minister?" Hayasaka asked strangely.
Ryota shook his head: "He always thought that I was a psyker. In this situation, it is not easy for me to ask him."
"Okay."
Hayasaka organized the words in her heart. After about ten seconds, she said slowly: "Psykers are divided into three stages, 'Activity', 'Formation', and 'Domain', I think you already know that."
On the sofa, Shinobu and Misaki pricked their ears.
One was listening intently, while the other was genuinely curious about the otherworldly power.
Just watch Hayasaka continue to say: "For those whose spirit attribute reaches 100, after combining the keys, their souls can awaken the ability to absorb spirit particles. Spirit particles are continuously poured into the soul, forming soul power, and then using soul power as fuel to drive the characteristics on the key that originally belonged to the ghost to fight. This is the first stage of psychic power, called 'activity', special effects like this!"
Hayasaka raised her palm, facing the teacup Shinobu placed on the low table.
A strong wind was generated, blowing. No, it's disconnected.
The teacup instantly shattered. The incision was as smooth as a knife cut.
"The wind..." Ryota remembered.
He remembered that when the Grudge clone appeared before, there would indeed be a cold gust of wind. Didn't think it was one of the characteristics of ghosts?
What Hayasaka absorbed was the key he got from the Grudge clone.
It seemed he was at the "activity" level, and the ability he had acquired was controlling the wind to attack.
"The second stage is called 'Formation'..."
Hayasaka explained in detail.
Second Stage of Psionics – Formation.
Use the body as a guide to explore the relationship between soul power and matter. As long as you can comprehend the key, you can materialize your soul in one fell swoop and form a material form.
The real body will be integrated into the soul. Since then the soul is the body, and the body is the soul. The strength that the body can muster is equal to the improvement of the soul. Hence, from the surface, the physical qualities of the second stage psychic would usher in a leap.
Things like destroying the house with one hit would be easier. The stronger ones can even fight at supersonic speeds.
And this stage will also get a certain level of immunity against physical attacks. How much can be freed depends on the amount of soul force.
If soul power was equivalent to the sum of souls for a hundred people, then if a physical attack couldn't kill a hundred people in an instant, it wouldn't be able to injure a second stage psyker.
If the strength of the soul is equal to tens of thousands of souls, if you want to kill it with physical attacks... perhaps only a nuclear bomb can do it.
Of course, the tens of thousands of people level would not appear in the second stage.
"Wait a minute," said Misaki in surprise, "You mean psychics will be immune to physical attacks from the second stage?"
If it was like this, admittedly, she was moved.
"Only to a certain extent, it is immune to simple physical attacks. A certain level of immunity depends on soul strength."
Hayasaka added: "It's also very easy to break this kind of immunity, as long as your attack comes with soul power. No, as long as it's something that can cause soul damage, it's fine."
"It turned out like this..."
Misaki suddenly remembered the fight with the cultists last night.
Devotees whose strength was equivalent to the first stage were instantly blown up by his superhuman strength to control the fluids all over their bodies.
Cultists with higher powers are immune to her abilities.
After that, Ryota cooperates with her to freeze the water he controls into ice thorns, and adds a soul force attack to kill a cultist whose strength is on par with the second stage.
From this point of view, psionic energy has a great advantage over other styles.
"What about the third stage?"
Shinobu asked curiously.
Hayasaka's words had made her very interested.
Psionic system was so strong, she could defeat the Demon King of her world — Kibutsuji Muzan just by training to the second stage.
"The third stage is called the 'Domain,'" says Hayasaka: "It is a manifestation of inner desire. The frenzied pursuit of desire in the heart will turn into a completely different rule from the current world, and come to the world. The new rules would exclude and suppress the existing ones, forming a different world with very different rules that only third stage psykers would have. These are "Domains". Of course, the rules don't always scale out. The outward expansion called "Domain" dominates. At that time, the rules will become a powerful buff in their own right."
"Meaning," Shinobu concluded, "Does a third-level psyker possess at least two abilities? One comes from the key, and the other is their own will?"
"That's right," Hayasaka nodded, "Desire is the essence, and the effect is much stronger than the ghost characteristic of the lock, but..."
She waved her hand and said: "Don't even think about the third stage. I am afraid that the whole world is just that small. It's too difficult to achieve."
"No need for the third stage, the second stage is enough."
Shinobu stared at the key in her hand, and killing intent suddenly appeared in her eyes. But she quickly hid it and regained her gentle expression.
"Domains, rules..."
On the other hand, Ryota's eyes looked thoughtful. He recalled the idiot he fought last night in his mind.
Remember it's called Mori?
Although Mori is stupid, the power of the simulated "Domain" is not small. In his domain, everything would be shrouded in the "burning" rule. Including air which is also continuously burning. That's why the constant temperature maintained in the domain is so high.
In the end, when Mori shrank the domain just to cover himself, the temperature in his domain must have risen by tens of thousands.
This is nearly the same as an isothermal fireball from a small nuclear explosion. It could still be maintained until his soul power was depleted, and temperature was only a side attack.
What is important is the "burn" rule.
It seems that non-combustible objects have entered the domain, and are expected to burn up which violates the laws of physics.
That's what the attack is for.
It was only the weaker one in the third stage.
Ryota felt that he might have underestimated the psykers in this world a bit.
Capable of protecting humans for hundreds of years from the hands of ghosts with terrifying growth characteristics, his strength was definitely beyond imagination.
"Since a key can carry some sort of ability, then why not absorb more?"
Misaki's voice woke Ryota from his reverie. he only knew the answer to this question, so he answered Hayasaka instead:
"Misaki, the ghost of our world, is hostile to everything but herself. When they met each other, they would also fall into a fight. This characteristic is reflected in the key to be realized as extreme mutual exclusion. So a person can and can only absorb one key. "
"Is that so..."
Misaki was deep in thought.
"What? Are you interested too?" Ryota smiled and said "Would you like to try? As for the key, although I don't have the key, but with my status, I should be able to apply from the official for you."
"Hmm... points are no longer enough just to increase super power, I still need to save up points to do that..."
Misaki thought for a while, shook her head and said:
"Let's wait, we'll talk later when we have more points."
"Okay, when you want to train psychic powers, let me know."
Ryota nodded. Then he looked at Shinobu and said: "Shinobu, start joining now."
