NOVEL NEXT Chapter 11: Kendo Talent
Chapter 10 - Kendo Talent
Under Yukio's curious questioning, Kiba began introducing Souna Shitori as she appeared at school.
Of course, he only spoke about the perspective of an ordinary human student.
Naturally, he couldn't mention the underworld side of things to Yukio.
That was a world no ordinary human could reach.
"I didn't expect Sona to be so exceptional. She must have many admirers at school," Yukio said.
After listening to those explanations, Yukio wore a helpless smile.
It was like the discouraged feeling of a boy who, after discovering how remarkable the girl he likes is, realizes how out of reach she might be.
"Well, she's indeed very popular," Kiba nodded. "She's the common aspiration of countless underclassmen."
"Almost half the school are her fans. There's even a special fan club among the females."
"So outstanding, she's practically a campus celebrity," Yukio mused.
"I wonder if she has a boyfriend now… Do I still have a chance?"
"Um…" Kiba stuttered.
Souna Shitori aka Sona Sitri was the heiress of the Sitri Clan and the younger sister of Satan Leviathan.
No matter how hard Yukio tried, he likely wouldn't be able to win Sona's heart.
Thus, Yukio's infatuation seemed doomed to end in vain.
"Good luck!"
Kiba was reluctant to crush Yukio's confidence.
He didn't reveal the truth and simply gave these words of encouragement, hoping Yukio would realize on his own that his efforts were futile.
"Thanks for the kind words," Yukio said with a smile.
"If Souna really becomes my girlfriend, I'll definitely give you a generous thank-you gift."
"Hahahahaha!" Kiba had no idea how to respond, so he could only laugh.
His handsome face looked slightly stiff.
"Sorry, Fujiwara-san, I'm running short on time."
"I have to head to my club," Kiba apologetically said.
"It's fine. You've covered most of what I wanted to see," Yukio smiled.
"I'm grateful you spent so much time helping me get familiar with Kuoh Academy."
They exchanged contact information.
Yukio insisted he must treat Kiba to a meal in the future, and Kiba mentioned that if he had time soon, he'd show Yukio around Kuoh Town, helping him become familiar with the environment.
"Well then, I'll be on my way."
After seeing Yukio out, Kiba turned and headed toward the old schoolhouse.
Watching Kiba's departing figure, Yukio glanced at the system panel.

Kiba was part of the protagonist group.
Although not as overwhelmingly strong as certain notable villains, he was still quite valuable.
Yukio wasn't particularly interested in Sword Birth right now.
His true target was the Boosted Gear belonging to Issei Hyoudou.
But kendo talent would be very useful, as it could quickly improve Yukio's power and eliminate a lot of his weaknesses.
Unfortunately, he was short on dimension points.
After thinking about it, Yukio decided,
"System, Copy Middle-Class Demonic Power."
He had considered saving dimension points until he came into contact with the protagonist group.
But at this moment, boosting his strength immediately was more practical than saving an intangible number of points.
[Consuming 30,000 dimension points.]
[Middle-Class Demonic Power copied. Would the host like to use it immediately?]
