Chapter 4: Chapter 4 • The Magical Rise of Light
'It's a goal!' A student exclaimed. 'Light Yagami scores the fifth!'
The student's enthusiasm was so infectious that even those involved in other sporting activities stopped to watch Light in action.
During the first half of the game, Light skilfully stole the ball, dribbled past the entire opposing team and scored four consecutive goals. The fifth goal came after a precise pass from the same student who had celebrated loudly.
Nearby, playing doubles volleyball, was a young woman with a striking appearance: long black hair and violet eyes, with her hair tied up in a ponytail that reached down to the floor. Two strands stood out, held back by an orange ribbon.
'Rias, what do you think of him?' She asked.
Upon hearing the question, Rias fixed his gaze on Light. 'He's certainly athletic. And look, Sona's watching him too. Perhaps there's something special about him that makes him worth recruiting as my servant.'
Akeno let out a soft laugh. 'It can't hurt to observe him a little more.'
'For now, I'm interested in bringing Issei Hyoudou over to our side,' Rias commented.
Beside him, Akeno just smiled serenely, his eyes closed.
After running repeatedly across the football pitch and already showing signs of sweat, Light accessed the Attributes Panel.

'It's going well,' reflected Light. 'At this rate, I'm going to boost both my physical and spiritual strength.
Although magical power was currently a challenge, Light already had strategies in mind...
━━━━
━━━━
During his free time, Light dedicated himself to observing the Chosen of Fortune, meticulously analysing each one until the classes were over.
'Yuto Amakawa, your ability is impressive; that explains why he only has this one, unlike the other Chosen of Fortune.'
Discreetly following Yuto, Light produced a card called 'Random Skill Thief Card' and activated it, targeting Yuto Amakawa.
━━━━━━━━
[Congratulations, host! You have successfully obtained Yuto Amakawa's Mystical Skill 'Light Ferry' by using the 'Random Skill Thief Card'].
━━━━━━━━
'That really worked!' Light felt as if the goddess of luck was smiling down on him.
Although he had only identified one skill in Yuto Amakawa to take for himself, Light still had his reserves...
━━━━━━━━
[The Host obtained the Mystical Skill: 'Light Ferry' from Yuto Amakawa. Yuto Amakawa's fortune decreased by 100 points, while the user's fate increased by 500 points].
━━━━━━━━
With an intense glint in his eyes, Light let out a subtle, satisfied laugh.
On hearing Light's subtle laugh, Yuto Amakawa, oblivious to the loss he had suffered, cast a puzzled glance in his direction, frowning.
Light quickly adopted a neutral stance.
Yuto, for his part, continued on his way as if nothing had happened.
Later, when he arrived at his residence, Light acted immediately, integrating himself into the mystical ability: Light Ferry.
During the process, his body was enveloped by an intense luminosity, similar to the glow of a white light bulb. After a few minutes, the luminosity disappeared and he returned to his usual state.
With a simple thought, the Attributes Panel appeared before him.

'My magical ability has evolved remarkably,' reflected Light, extremely satisfied with the success of his plan. 'Unlike Yuto Amakawa, whose power was sealed as his history indicated, I believe that because I'm already 18, this power came to me without restrictions.'
'My magical ability has evolved remarkably,' thought Light, satisfied. 'Besides, it's not available for me to use. Unlike Yuto Amakawa, whose power was sealed...'
He felt that, in a way, he had balanced the attributes of his power.
'How many points does it take to advance to Existence Level 2?' Light pondered.
━━━━━━━━
[There are several ways to advance the level of Existence. The most straightforward way is to spend 100 Fate points for each upgrade to level 2. Alternatively, you can use meditation techniques, pills, potions and so on].
[Warning: With each level advancement, the cost in points will double and your physical, magical and spiritual attributes will also double with each rise in Existence Level].
━━━━━━━━
'This means that if I use points to advance now, I'll double my attributes, but I'll cut off the chance to increase my attributes further before levelling up.'
With this realisation, the decision became clear to him.
Physical training at home had become a challenge for Light. Perhaps that's why he chose to put on more appropriate clothes and started meditating, using the Haki technique.
After a few hours, Light slowly opened his eyes.
'Light, Mum says dinner's ready!' Sayu's voice resounded through the house.
[Spiritual Power: 16.9 (17.9) ↑ ━ Existence Level 1]
'I got 1 point of Spiritual Power with just a few hours of meditation, and yet...'
[Observation Haki] Level 1 (12/100), [Weaponry Haki] Level 1 (13/100)
Light stood up and walked towards the dining room.
