Over the next few days, Roy helped Kaito regulate his body, allowing the Last Samurai to slowly recover his health.
Of course, Roy also gained a few benefits from Kaito.
In addition to the 20,000 Dinsional Points he received for saving a key character, he also learned the power of the Ayatsuji Itto-ryu.
The most quintessential technique was the secret art known as Markless.
This is a technique that turns defense into offense, striking the opponent in the gap between perception and reaction. It involves masking one's breath and intent so perfectly that the strike becos invisible to the opponent's senses until it is too late.
With his ability, Roy deconstructed and learned the technique effortlessly.
This depressed Kaito for a while. He had only intended to spar with Roy, but the boy had copied his life's work in an instant.
He had planned to teach Roy these secrets after he beca his son-in-law, using the techniques as a dowry of sorts.
However, Kaito was also relieved to see Roy display Markless. It ant his swordsmanship would not die out.
The fear of his legacy being lost after his defeat by Kuraudo had haunted him, but now that worry was gone.
Freed from that burden, Kaito beca even more active in trying to set up Roy and Ayase.
Every ti he ntioned marriage, Ayase would nearly faint from sha and anger. If Kaito hadn't just been discharged from the hospital, Ayase might have beaten him back into a coma.
Aside from learning Markless, Roy spent his ti analyzing the magic system of this world.
Roy was not a native of this world, so he couldn't naturally awaken a Device or use a Noble Art like a true Blazer.
In this world, magic is tied to an existence called Fate. It isn't a conscious law or an invisible force, but rather the gravity of the planet itself.
From the mont of birth, humans are endowed with power according to the weight of their Fate.
This power is magic.
Roy possessed imnse mana power, but it was fundantally different from the "
Fate-based magic of this world.
So, Roy decided to try his experint.
Using his skills Omniscient and Magic Ring, he began to analyze the ambient magic of the world.
His goal was to convert his own mana, changing its attributes to mimic the Fate of this world.
By deceiving the world into thinking he was a native, he hoped to awaken his own Device.
It was a challenging theory. However, magic is essentially energy transford from vitality or soul.
As long as the origin is manipulated correctly, the conversion is possible.
After a few days of hard work, Roy felt a faint connection with the planet. It ant his direction was correct.
Even if he failed to awaken a Device, he still had the System to replicate others abilities, so it wasn't a total loss.
But having a Device of his own would be far more convenient.
Eventually, Roy obtained a letter of recomndation from Kaito.
Kaito was eager for Roy to enroll in Hagun Academy, hoping that spending ti at school with Ayase would foster their relationship.
Hagun Academy was built on the outskirts of the city.
As one of the seven Mage-Knight academies in Japan, it covered a vast area of about 50 hectares.
After getting off at the station, Ayase led Roy up the mountain road.
Cherry blossom trees lined both sides of the path, their sakura petals falling like rain.
Ten minutes later, they arrived at the summit.
Hagun Academy sprawled out before them. The campus was filled with training grounds, forests, and lecture halls.
Since it was still technically vacation ti, only a few scattered figures could be seen.
Dominating the view was the administration building, the only structure on campus that exceeded ten stories. The Chairwoman's office was on the top floor.
Taking the elevator up, the two stopped in front of a heavy door.
Knock, knock, knock.
"Co in."
A cold, mature female voice answered from inside.
"Excuse us."
Ayase opened the door and walked in with Roy.
The office was luxuriously furnished, with a bright yellow chandelier, expensive carpets, and polished furniture.
Behind a large desk sat a beautiful woman dressed in a sharp black suit.
Kurono Shinguuji.
She was the third-ranked Blazer in the world and the Chairwoman of Hagun Academy.
She looked up from her computer screen as they entered.
"Chairman, I am Ayase Ayatsuji, a second-year student," Ayase introduced herself nervously.
"Ayatsuji? That surna sounds familiar," Kurono pondered for a mont. "What do you want to see for?"
"It's about this." Ayase explained the purpose of their visit and handed the letter of recomndation to Kurono.
"I see." Kurono nodded, finally placing the na.
"It's not easy to get a recomndation from Kaito Ayatsuji," Kurono said, looking at Roy with a faint smile.
She opened the letter and scanned it.
In Japan, where Bushido is still revered, the na of the Last Samurai carried weight. He was a warrior whose skill rivaled Blazers despite being an ordinary human.
A recomndation from him was significant.
After a mont, Kurono frowned slightly.
She placed the letter on the desk and looked at Roy with sharp, calculating eyes.
"The recomndation letter is fine," Kurono said, her voice dropping an octave. "But what about your Rank? Do you have a license?"
