Chapter 111: Chapter 111: New Superpower Refresh



Chapter 111: New Superpower Refresh

Unless she transfers schools, Yukinoshita Yukino will definitely have to go to school.

If she takes a long leave of absence, even if the teachers at Soubu High don't say anything, her family will notice something is wrong.

The question is how to explain to Yukinoshita Yukino that he won't be using his X-ray vision on her anymore.

If he says he won't use it, will Yukinoshita Yukino believe him?

That's a challenge.

Lin Ye thought about it and realized he had no way to prove it, so he gave up. Whether Yukinoshita Yukino believes him or not is up to her.

He'll leave it to her.

One thing is certain: he has never actively used this ability to see through her body.

If he saw her naked, it was because of the "superpower's flaw" and had nothing to do with his conscious intention.

"Lin-kun, if you keep staring at Nanase-san in front of me, I might get jealous too, you know?"

Haruno Yukinoshita, sitting next to Lin Ye, poked his cheek and spoke in a faintly complaint tone, her navy-blue eyes tinged with a hint of sadness.

Nanase Ren's face instantly turned red, and the chopsticks in her hand froze mid-air, the noodles slipping off and falling back into the bowl.

"Jealous? Alright, I'll pour you some vinegar."

With that,

Lin Ye took the vinegar condiment from the table and, under the stunned gazes of the three women, added a spoonful of vinegar to Haruno Yukinoshita is noodle bowl.

Haruno is smile deepened instead.

This guy is really hard to deal with; the usual methods for handling men don't work on him.

She took a sip of the broth with her spoon. The rich tonkotsu broth mixed with a hint of sourness spread across her tongue, and the taste was unexpectedly unique.

"Not bad. Do you two want some vinegar too?"

Fujibayashi Ryou seemed a bit reserved, but under Haruno is gaze, she added a little vinegar to her own bowl.

Nanase Ren also seemed curious and added some as well.

"Two more beautiful girls getting jealous over you, Lin-kun. How enviable!"

Fujibayashi Ryou was already too shy to look up, her face red as she focused on her noodles. Nanase Ren was in a similar state, using the noodles to ease her embarrassment.

Haruno quickly determined that these two were pure-hearted girls with no dating experience.

She wondered where Lin Ye had met them.

"Where do you two go to school? I'm currently a student at Chiba University."

Fujibayashi Ryou swallowed her noodles and spoke up, "Ren and I have already graduated. We're working as nurses at Chiba City Hospital."

Nurses?

Haruno was surprised. Although the two girls seemed slightly more mature than the average high school student, it was still unexpected that they had already graduated and were working as nurses at a hospital.

"So you're cute nurse sisters, no wonder Lin-kun is so fond of you. He's been staring at you two the whole time. If I were a man, I'd probably do the same,"

she said with a smile, looking at the two girls.

"Next time we stay at a hotel, should I wear a nurse uniform for you, Lin-kun?"

But this statement shocked Nanase Ren and Fujibayashi Ryou.

Had the two of them already stayed at a hotel together?

What could happen between a man and a woman staying at a hotel overnight?

As nurses, they knew all too well.

Lin Ye, seeing Fujibayashi Ryou and Nanase Ren's reactions, knew they had misunderstood. He realized Haruno had achieved her goal; she must be secretly delighted.

"If Yukinoshita-san likes wearing nurse uniforms, why not join the hospital as a nurse?"

"That wouldn't be good. If I stay at home, I can change into different uniforms for Lin-kun every day. Whatever Lin-kun likes, I'll wear nurse, police officer, business suit, kimono, or even a bunny girl outfit."

Nanase Ren and Fujibayashi Ryou were stunned by how forward Haruno Yukinoshita was with Lin Ye.

Was it really as she said that she was pursuing Lin Ye?

Such a beautiful girl chasing him, and Lin-kun hadn't accepted her?

Why not?

"Not really interested."

"Ahhh, how heartbreaking. Lin-kun, you're really cruel. Even after spending the night with me at a hotel, are you just going to walk away without taking responsibility?"

"Yeah, I don't want to take responsibility."

Haruno: ???

Nanase Ren and Fujibayashi Ryou were shocked.

Lin Ye had outright refused to take responsibility.

"How heartbreaking, but I won't give up. Hehehe."

But Haruno continued to smile brightly, as if unaffected.

Then,

Haruno brought up a new topic, asking Nanase Ren and Fujibayashi Ryou how they had met Lin Ye.

Under Haruno is lead, the two girls shared some information, though they avoided mentioning anything related to the "supernatural."

About ten minutes later,

the four of them finished their ramen.

Lin Ye went to pay the bill.

"Lin-kun, what next..."

"I'll take them home."

Haruno pretended to be sad. "Ah, I guess I've been played with and discarded."

"Alright, Yukinoshita-san, let's end the jokes here. You should go home and rest."

Haruno quickly changed her expression, returning to normal. "Send me a message when you get home. I'm really concerned about your safety."

"Same to you."

Finally, Haruno bid farewell to Fujibayashi Ryou and Nanase Ren. "You two, don't get any funny ideas about Lin-kun tonight, okay?"

With that, she waved goodbye with a smile.

After Haruno got into her car, Nanase Ren cautiously asked, "Lin-kun, you and Yukinoshita-san are..."

"Just collaborators. You can believe about 20-30% of what she says."

"Oh! I thought there was no way Lin-kun would stay at a hotel with Yukinoshita-san!"

Fujibayashi Ryou's comment made Lin Ye pause and reply, "We did stay together overnight."

For a moment, the two girls were stunned.

"But nothing happened. You can completely ignore her suggestive comments."

The two girls were full of questions. They had stayed in the same hotel room but nothing happened?

Since Lin Ye didn't elaborate, they didn't press further. They knew Lin Ye had no reason to lie to them about this.

Since Nanase Ren's place was the closest, the three of them headed there first.

"Lin-kun, Ryou, would you like to come in for a bit?"

Fujibayashi Ryou instinctively looked at Lin Ye, seeking his opinion.

Lin Ye politely declined. "Maybe next time."

"Mm, next time then."

Nanase Ren watched as the two left and disappeared from her sight. She withdrew her gaze but did not immediately go upstairs.

"Lin-kun is surrounded by so many pretty girls."

The sudden appearance of Yukinoshita Haruno today had put a lot of pressure on her.

She suddenly wondered if it would have been better to invite Lin Ye upstairs when he walked her back to her apartment last time!

She felt that the distance between her and Lin Ye had suddenly grown over the past week.

"Next weekend, I must successfully ask Lin Ye out."

Nanase Ren clenched her fist, cheering herself on.

On the other side,

Lin Ye and Fujibayashi Ryou spent about twenty minutes arriving at the Fujibayashi family's residence.

Unlike Nanase Ren's single apartment, Fujibayashi Ryou's family of four chose to rent a detached house. The rent was slightly higher, but the whole family could live together, giving it a sense of home.

"Thank you for today,"

"It's nothing. If anything, it's because of me that Yukinoshita Haruno caused you so much pressure, right?"

"N-no, not at all..."

Fujibayashi Ryou was completely unaccustomed to women like Yukinoshita Haruno, who had such a cheerful personality and strong communication skills.

"Are there any strange patients or unusual situations at the hospital?"

The purple-haired girl shook her head, "No, if I encounter anything, I'll definitely message you immediately, Lin-kun."

"Alright, prioritize your safety. I'll head back now."

"Um... would you like to come in for a bit? It's not too late..."

Fujibayashi Ryou mustered all her courage to extend this invitation,

Lin Ye had already noticed Fujibayashi Ryou's reddened and burning ears.

If he refused, a shy and timid girl like Fujibayashi Ryou would surely be very hurt.

"Your sister would kill me if she saw me."

"Big sister wouldn't! At this time, she should already be back in her room on the second floor."

Fujibayashi Ryou had already said this much, so Lin Ye thought about it and decided not to decline further.

He'd stay for just five minutes.

But then he thought of a problem: he had declined Nanase Ren's invitation but accepted Fujibayashi Ryou's. Wasn't that a bit unfair?

Next time, he'd accept Nanase Ren's invitation. It would be a good opportunity to visit a woman's single apartment and broaden his horizons. He had never been to a woman's single apartment before!

Following Fujibayashi Ryou into the residence,

The house wasn't large, with simple decor, but it had a warm, homely feel.

Lin Ye also saw a photo on the dining table a family photo of the Fujibayashi family of four. Their warm smiles made Lin Ye feel a bit envious.

A happy family is always something to be envied.

"Please, have a seat,"

Lin Ye sat on the sofa.

Fujibayashi Ryou brought a glass of water from the kitchen.

"Thank you."

"You're welcome."

Fujibayashi Ryou sat on the other side of the sofa, looking somewhat nervous. Her eyes occasionally glanced at Lin Ye, as if she wanted to ask something.

"Lin-kun, have you been to any dangerous places this week?"

"Yes."

A flash of worry crossed Fujibayashi Ryou's face.

"Please be careful."

"I will."

"Ryou, are you back?"

Fujibayashi Kyou's voice came from the second floor, followed by the sound of footsteps.

Fujibayashi Kyou soon appeared at the staircase. She immediately noticed Lin Ye, "It's you. Why are you at my house?"

She noticed her flustered and overwhelmed sister,

"Ryou, you didn't have dinner with him tonight, did you? I never thought you'd lie to me, your sister."

Fujibayashi Kyou was upset.

Her sister had never lied to her before, but today she had said she was going out for ramen with her friend Nanase Ren and wouldn't be home for dinner. Yet... she had actually gone out to dinner with Lin Ye, this man!

"Big sister, it's not like that. I really did have dinner with Ren. It's just that we happened to run into Lin-kun, and he walked both of us back."

"..."

But Fujibayashi Kyou didn't believe it.

"I can call Ren right now and you can ask her."

Faced with her sister's attitude, Fujibayashi Kyou was half-convinced.

Meanwhile, Lin Ye looked at the purple-haired girl and felt that Fujibayashi Kyou's complexion didn't look too good.

But considering she was currently a teacher at Chiba Elementary School, managing so many mischievous kids, he could understand.

[Ding!]

At that moment, a notification sound rang out.

[Detected nearby personnel carrying an eerie aura.]

[Task trigger conditions met.]

[Task issued,]

[Task Name: Elementary School Ghost.]

[Task Type: Routine Reality Type.]

[Task Objective: Resolve the anomaly at Chiba Elementary School within ten days.]

[Accept?]

[If no response within five seconds, default to automatic rejection.]

Lin Ye listened to the prompt from the "Eerie Game" and realized he hadn't been mistaken Fujibayashi Kyou's complexion really wasn't good.

There was a "ghost" at Chiba Elementary School!

But judging from Fujibayashi Kyou's mental state and the time given by the game, he guessed the anomaly at Chiba Elementary School wasn't too severe and didn't have a strong impact.

If a major incident really occurred at a densely populated elementary school, Japan's official Special Anti-Demon Task Force would step in to resolve the anomaly.

"Accept."

The task was here,

He had no reason to refuse.

This was all experience and game points good stuff.

Lin Ye looked at Fujibayashi Kyou, "Miss Fujibayashi, how have things been at school recently?"

"What do you mean?"

Fujibayashi Kyou frowned.

"Just curious about your experience as a teacher at an elementary school."

"It's been fine."

It seemed she hadn't encountered anything unusual.

He'd find some time to visit Chiba Elementary School. With ten days, he wasn't in a rush to deal with the anomaly there.

"Don't try to get close to me. Stay away from my sister. Don't even think about making a move on her, or I'll tell Nanase Ren about this."

"Big sister,"

Fujibayashi Ryou suddenly spoke up, her voice filled with anger. She grabbed Fujibayashi Kyou's hand, her expression serious, "Lin-kun is my friend. My interactions with him are completely normal. Please don't interfere with my friendships. If you keep doing this, I... I'll get really angry."

Even though she knew her sister was concerned for her, Fujibayashi Ryou felt she needed to voice her stance now.

Otherwise, such incidents would only keep happening.

Fujibayashi Kyou gritted her teeth and glared at Lin Ye.

This was the first time her sister had ever stood up to her. It had to be Lin Ye's "doing."

"Lin-kun, I'm sorry,"

"It's nothing. Don't let me affect your relationship with your sister."

But to Fujibayashi Kyou, this just sounded like Lin Ye being hypocritical.

"Our sisterly bond won't be affected by you."

"That's good. It's getting late, so I'll head out now."

"I'll walk you out,"

Fujibayashi Kyou wanted to stop her, but Fujibayashi Ryou stepped past her and walked Lin Ye out.

Watching the two leave, Fujibayashi Kyou stood there, fuming.

Making sure Fujibayashi Kyou wasn't following, Lin Ye lowered his voice and said to Fujibayashi Ryou, "Ryou, try to find out from your sister if anything unusual has been happening at Chiba Elementary School."

"Huh!"

Fujibayashi Ryou was startled, but quickly realized something.

"That... could it be..."

"Not sure, but I feel like your sister's temper might be because of that."

Fujibayashi Ryou suddenly laughed, "That... big sister has always been like this. Back in high school, she wouldn't let any boys get close to me. She told me to stay away from boys, and whenever a boy approached me, she'd rush over to stop and threaten them. In the end, I... I spent my entire high school life alone."

As she said this, she seemed a bit regretful. As a normal girl, she was also interested in love and had dreamed of a rose-colored high school life.

But it never happened before graduation.

"So that's how it is. But still, keep an eye out for me. If your sister suddenly becomes unreachable, be sure to contact me."

"I will."

Fujibayashi Ryou smiled and agreed.

Lin Ye saw the relaxed smile on Fujibayashi Ryou's face and knew his goal had been achieved. He didn't actually want to make Fujibayashi Ryou worry about her sister's safety.

But if he didn't give her a heads-up and she failed to realize the problem in time, it could lead to a tragedy.

So, he chose this approach.

"Goodbye, Lin-kun. Send me a message when you get home."

"Will do."

"Um... Lin-kun, this weekend..."

Suddenly, Fujibayashi Ryou called out to Lin Ye again.

"I should be free. Let's check again in a couple of days."

"Okay, okay."

Fujibayashi Ryou smiled as she watched Lin Ye leave, disappearing around the distant corner.

The evening breeze blew past, and the light from the house stretched her shadow long.

"He's already gone far away,"

The voice of Fujibayashi Kyou suddenly rang in her ears, startling Fujibayashi Ryou so much that her expression changed drastically.

"Sister, don't speak up so suddenly like that, it's really scary."

"I was the one who got scared by your silly, infatuated look. Tell me, do you like him?"

"N-no, I don't."

Fujibayashi Ryou denied it outright, shaking her head repeatedly.

"Really?"

"Really."

"If I'm not mistaken, your friend Nanase Ren also likes him. I know he protected you and solved a problem for you, but have you heard of the 'suspension bridge effect'?"

She explained it to her younger sister.

"Your current feelings and state towards him, I think, are due to the suspension bridge effect. What you feel for him is more gratitude than romantic love. Because Ryou, you've never been in love before, you don't even know what love feels like or what it means. So this time, you've misunderstood and mistaken your feelings."

Fujibayashi Kyou hoped her sister would accept this and reflect on her own emotional factors.

"It's all because of you, sister,"

Fujibayashi Ryou muttered under her breath, lowering her head.

Fujibayashi Kyou: ???

She quickly realized the reason it was because she had always protected her sister, leading to Ryou having no experience with love or relationships.

This was a responsibility she couldn't avoid.

"Ahem, I might have gone a bit overboard in the past, but I'll be more careful from now on. So, Ryou, can you consult with me more often? Don't make me worry about you. I feel like that man isn't sincere with you at all. He's probably just after your beauty and body."

"Lin-kun isn't like that."

She's already defending Lin Ye?

Fujibayashi Kyou felt a bit dizzy. Her sister was already falling for him, or at least one foot was already in the trap.

She had to find a way to save her sister.

What should she do?

Fujibayashi Kyou thought of Nanase Ren. If Nanase Ren confirmed a relationship with Lin Ye first, her sister would give up.

But recalling her two meetings with Nanase Ren, whenever the topic of 'dating' or 'love' came up, Nanase Ren kept denying it.

Her shy and embarrassed demeanor made Fujibayashi Kyou feel that pinning her hopes on Nanase Ren was almost like committing suicide.

By the time Nanase Ren took the initiative to confirm a relationship with Lin Ye, her sister might have already been tricked into a hotel room by him.

No.

This absolutely couldn't happen.

"You can know a person's face, but not their heart,"

"I understand Lin-kun better than you do, sister."

Her sister's firm expression made Fujibayashi Kyou grit her teeth in frustration. What kind of spell had that man cast on her sister?

Was it just because he protected her once? Or was it because her sister was too starved for love, having never experienced romance or been close to a man?

At this moment, Fujibayashi Kyou realized that her overprotectiveness had actually harmed her sister!

"Ryou, promise me you won't let yourself be swayed by Lin Ye is sweet talk, okay?"

Fujibayashi Ryou's face turned red. She knew what her sister was implying.

"Getting to know someone takes time. You've known him for less than ten days. If he makes any inappropriate demands, it's obvious he just wants to have you. Once he gets what he wants, he'll leave you."

"I... I understand. Lin-kun isn't like that, sister. Don't worry, I'll... keep things under control."

But Fujibayashi Ryou's words didn't reassure Fujibayashi Kyou.

The phrase "Lin-kun isn't like that" only convinced Fujibayashi Kyou that her sister trusted Lin Ye too much. If Lin Ye really tried to sweet-talk her, her sister would likely be tricked into a hotel room.

"Good that you understand."

After parting ways with her sister, Fujibayashi Kyou returned to her room.

She sat quietly on her bed, deep in thought.

"I need to break my sister's trust and illusions about Lin Ye,"

"I need to show her Lin Ye is true colors."

Could it be... that she had no choice but to do this?

Fujibayashi Kyou pursed her lips.

She took out a mirror from her bedside drawer and looked at her reflection.

Maybe... this could work.

It was all for her sister.

...

...

Yukinoshita Haruno returned to the Yukinoshita residence and sent Lin Ye a message saying she had arrived home.

Soon,

She received a reply Okay.

"No wonder he failed at confessing,"

So boring,

But Haruno didn't mind at all.

She walked through the courtyard and noticed a lit room in the house.

It was the reception room.

Was there a guest at home?

Haruno walked over and found her mother sitting quietly in the reception room.

"You're back?"

Yukinoshita's mother looked at Haruno.

"I'm back, Mother."

"Sit."

Haruno sat down.

"Where's the esteemed guest? Didn't he come with you?"

"He wanted to return to his apartment."

Haruno had already informed her mother about Lin Ye. Otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to raise five million dollars.

Without her mother's approval, she couldn't have gotten that amount of money.

In fact,

When her mother decided to provide five million dollars, even Haruno was shocked.

She had thought that two hundred million yen would be enough. Even if it was all lost, it wouldn't affect the Yukinoshita family's liquidity.

But her mother felt it wasn't enough and decided to provide five million dollars.

That was five million dollars!

Haruno was amazed by her mother's boldness and decisiveness.

Clearly,

This time, the Yukinoshita family had bet correctly.

Even just in terms of funds, they had won. Not to mention the future cooperation with Lin Ye, which was something to look forward to.

Now, the Yukinoshita family held a ticket to a brand-new era.

As for how far they could go in the future, it all depended on their development and luck.

Perhaps,

The Yukinoshita family would decline and become a relic of the past. Or perhaps, they would seize the opportunity and rise to prominence in the new era, becoming a top-tier family in Japan, or even reaching the very top.

Yukinoshita's mother poured Haruno a glass of water. The sound of water filling the glass echoed.

Haruno picked it up and blew on it.

"Any thoughts?"

"He's quite hard to deal with,"

Out of all the men she had interacted with, he was the only one who didn't fall for her tricks.

"Haruno, when you first clashed with him and lost the upper hand, you should have realized he's different from other men."

A man who dared to flip the table to express his will was completely different from ordinary people.

Yukinoshita's mother guessed that Lin Ye is experiences in the dangerous and deadly game had caused a stress reaction.

When Haruno tried to establish a cooperative relationship, he chose to threaten her to gain more initiative.

Clearly, he lacked a sense of security and wanted more control to reduce his anxiety.

But one thing Yukinoshita's mother was sure of was that as long as the Yukinoshita family didn't threaten his life, their cooperation would continue.

"Yes, Mother,"

"Don't try to control him. The more obvious your intentions are, the more he'll distance himself from you. Someone living in an environment where danger and death are constant has no sense of security, and you can't provide that for him."

Haruno pursed her lips,

But she knew her mother was right.

No matter how much she tried to show her concern, Lin Ye still kept her at a distance. This sense of distance was hard to eliminate in a short time.

The impression she left on Lin Ye wouldn't change easily.

"Since he sees you as a partner, Haruno, then be a good partner to him. I believe you can do it."

In small matters, Yukinoshita's mother wouldn't interfere too much, letting her daughter handle things herself. Even if she failed, the family could bear the consequences, and it would be a good learning experience for her.

But when it came to Lin Ye, it was different.

Failure here would affect the family's future.

Yukinoshita's mother had to offer her opinions and remind her daughter to be mindful of her actions.

"I understand, Mother. I won't let you down."

"You're my daughter. You've always been outstanding. I believe you won't disappoint us."

Haruno nodded.

After finishing the water, Haruno suddenly thought of something. "Mother, regarding the future allocation of Lin Ye is assets, I think it should be under my name for now. He said he'd leave it to me to handle and didn't want to draw attention."

She had discussed this with Lin Ye, but he said he didn't want it under his name, so she thought it would be better under hers.

Yukinoshita's mother looked at Haruno and shook her head slightly.

"That's not appropriate,"

She rejected the idea.

"Put it under Yukino's name."

Haruno: ???

After a brief moment of shock, Haruno's face turned pale, and her breathing quickened slightly.

She understood her mother's intention.

In the end, Yukino was chosen as the 'sacrifice.'

"Is there a problem?"

Yukinoshita's mother's cold voice made Haruno's heart tremble.

My younger sister finds it difficult to face our mother, but in truth, Yono isn't much better off.

"Yukino is still very young."

"She is the daughter of the Yukinoshita family and must take on responsibilities. Moreover, Mr. Lin is the same age as Yukino. People of the same age have more common topics and are more suitable."

At this moment, Yukino's mother revealed a faint smile.

"I am aware that Mr. Lin has confessed to Yukino and expressed his feelings for her."

This was something Yono had not told her mother. Clearly, Yukino's mother had also sent someone to investigate and obtained more detailed information.

A miscalculation.

Yono pursed her lips.

"Yukino rejected him."

She spoke, suppressing the panic in her heart.

"I know you care about your sister. If Yukino doesn't like him, I won't force her."

The suddenly softened words warmed Yono's heart. "Thank you, Mother."

In Yono's eyes, this was already the best news.

Yukino's mother sighed.

She couldn't help but feel that she was being cast as the villain.

But sometimes, even if her daughters opposed her, she had to play the role of the villain.

As a mother and as the head of the Yukinoshita family, what she hoped for was naturally the alignment of the family's interests with her daughters' consciousness and happiness.

Therefore,

if Yukino could come to like Lin Ye and be in a relationship with him, that would be the optimal solution. For her eldest daughter, Yono, this would also be the best outcome.

The night deepened,

and the mother and daughter each returned to their rooms.

After Lin Ye returned to his apartment, he began summarizing and recording the events of his trip to Macau.

First was the completion of the 'Strange Invitation Mission.'

[You have completed the 'Strange Invitation Mission The Royal Casino of the Otherworld.']

[Settlement complete.]

"The Strange Invitation Mission is similar to the first mission at the Love Heart Hotel,"

"but the rewards are richer and more varied."

Regular real-world missions usually only offer points, experience, and items, but this time, there were additional attributes and even blessings.

Especially the points this single invitation mission far surpassed the rewards of regular missions.

Lin Ye spent over an hour summarizing everything before washing up and resting.

Morning of the 22nd,

Lin Ye woke up, and his first thought was to check his new superpower.

"Huh? No change?"

Are you kidding me?

It didn't refresh?

X-ray vision is still here.

"What's going on? Did it stop refreshing?"

"If it was going to stop, it should have stopped earlier!"

Compared to X-ray vision, time-stop is much better! While X-ray vision is great for admiring beauty, its limitations are too strong. Lin Ye would much prefer time-stop.

Moreover, after refreshing, X-ray vision could become a skill, so he could still use it. Even without the time-stop superpower, refreshing a new superpower would be fine.

At least it would give him one more ability, one more strength.

"Let's wait a bit longer. No rush. Maybe the refresh time hasn't come yet."

With this doubt in mind, Lin Ye headed to school.

He saw the white-coated teacher, Hiratsuka Shizuka, again.

"Good morning, Hiratsuka-sensei."

"Good morning. I'm glad to see you coming to school on time. It seems that having you join the Service Club was the right decision."

Hiratsuka Shizuka was very happy to see Lin Ye.

This proved that her choice was correct, that Lin Ye could still be changed through guidance. Of course, this also had something to do with Lin Ye's memory loss.

"It's all thanks to you, sensei."

"Haha, of course, it's thanks to me giving you this opportunity. Hahaha, keep up the good work, keep striving. Oh, and remember, there are things you must not do. I'm warning you."

Under Hiratsuka's admonitions, Lin Ye entered the school building.

He headed to his classroom.

"I wonder if Yukinoshita will come to class today."

When he arrived at the classroom, he glanced over and saw the girl sitting by the window.

Her beautiful figure made him unconsciously look a few more times.

She really is beautiful, a sight for sore eyes, though lacking a bit in curves.

The flaws are still there, so it seems the superpower hasn't refreshed yet.

Yukinoshita Yukino noticed Lin Ye's arrival. Her eyes narrowed, and she immediately averted her gaze.

It's still here, still here!

If she can see Lin Ye, then Lin Ye can see her too.

The black-haired girl's body trembled. She had been seen through once again, completely and without reservation.

Lin Ye wanted to greet Yukinoshita, but the girl had already laid her head on the desk, so he had no choice but to give up on the greeting.

Soon, the bell rang.

Both the boy and the girl were in no mood for class.

The clock struck nine.

Lin Ye suddenly saw text appear before his eyes.

[Your superpower from last week, X-ray Vision, has ended.]

[Flaw revealed.]

[The flaw is: Random female passive two-way X-ray vision.]

Lin Ye: ???

[Your superpower for this week has been updated.]

[Superpower Opportunistic Theft.]

[But the flaw is ■■■■■]

At this moment, he understood the superpower refreshes at 9 a.m. on Monday!

But what does "two-way" mean?
