"I am exhausted" Jin let out a tired sigh as he sprawled over the couch in the living room.
It was already night, and he had just returned from training with Kuroka. It went well, but his body was full of bruises due to the spar that happened after the training.
"She was so strong. She said she's specialized in Magic and Youjutsu, but her close combat technique is great too." Jin chuckled slightly. He gained a lot from the practice with Kuroka and felt like he was getting stronger.
"What a shame she must return for the night to tell her friends that she will stay over for a week. Well, it can't be helped. She will return tomorrow morning, and I still need to drink all the milk that we milked earlier in the day."
Jin stood up from the couch, holding over his sore shoulder, and pressed it down to alleviate the pain. He went to the kitchen, walked over to the fridge, and opened it, taking out a gallon of Kuroka's milk.
He poured it into a glass and drank it while putting his left hand on his hips.
[You drink a mouthful of milk. As a result, your lifespan increases by 71 Days. You gained 71 EXP]

The notification rang right after he gulped all the milk in the glass. His wounds and bruises also began to heal as he felt the pain disappear little by little.
He kept pouring and drinking the milk until he emptied 2 gallons. His stomach was bulging a little, so he stopped and let out a satisfied sigh.
"Puha! That was good!"
The progress of his system was good too. He increased all necessary skills, such as Basic Throwing and others, to Level 3. In the end, after grinding for a few days, his status looked like this.
***
System Level: 3
Exp Needed to Level Up: 37124/150000
Lifespan Left: 89Y 8M 13D
Magic Power: High Rank
***
The store to upgrade his skill stopped at Level 3, and he couldn't upgrade his Magic Power higher either. Maybe it was limited to his System Level too, but he gained a lot of EXP in just two days from Kuroka compared to when he drank from Kalawarner and Sona.
"Well, I still have 3 gallons left. If I drink all of them, I can increase my EXP to around 50000, but I will save it for tomorrow morning." He put the empty gallons in the sink before he went out of the house.
He jumped to the roof easily and sat on it, looking at the sky while extending his hand.
"Black. It's been a while since I relaxed and looked at the sky like this. Before I met Lady Luna, I had always been floating in the void. I don't want to return to that place. Death is a lonely place." He muttered, clenching his fist. "That's why I will do anything to survive. I will drink all the milk and get stronger! That, I promise."
He needed to win the duel first for that goal to be achieved. It was his first real hurdle besides the mad exorcist at that time.
"Riser Phenex is strong. His fire can destroy my Holy Magic rather easily. And that regeneration I can only stop it for a while with Holy Magic. I need something that will last long enough to beat him senseless."
But what kind of item would be able to stop his regeneration? That question lingered in Jin's head before he remembered something.
"Wait a minute."
He raised his body as his eyes widened a little, then he grinned excitedly.
"Isn't there something called Holy Water in the church? I believe it exists as it is often used in baptism rituals or something similar by the church."
If the church really had that, then probably all members of the church could possibly have one or even create one.
And coincidentally, he had a girl that originated from the church.
"If it's that girl, then she surely can make one, right? From Kalawarner's information, she originated from the Vatican church before she went to this town. Surely, she has Holy Water, no? Or should I make my own version of Holy Water using certain holy water?"
Right after he muttered that he felt embarrassed because he had created such a bad pun.
"W-Well. I will visit them tomorrow. For now, let's rest easy and sleep." Saying so, Jin lay down on the roof and closed his eyes. "Sleeping outside isn't that bad sometimes."

In the student council room, Sona held a paper as she sat behind her desk while trembling. Tsubaki only looked at her King while shaking her head hopelessly and sighing.
The reason why Sona was trembling wasn't that she was mad or anything. Rather, it was because she was happy.
"Fufu fufufufu."
The paper in her hand was a letter addressed to her. There was another letter on the desk, but that one was not addressed to her, so she didn't open it.
However, she could at least guess the content of the sealed letter from the one that was addressed to her.
"Kaichou. Your laugh slowly becomes similar to Jin-kun, you know? Even your personality has changed a little after you know what happened that day." Tsubaki said, fixing her position so she would appear professional.
"It can't be helped, Tsubaki. After being with Jin-kun for a few days, I learned a lot of things from him."
"Sexual things?" Tsubaki asked with a joking tone and a playful smile.
"Not that!" Sona rebuked. "A-Anyway. I can somehow guess Jin-kun's power now. Even if he tried to keep it a secret from me, I couldn't help but notice after being with him for a few days. That's why I am laughing earlier."
"You're laughing because you know his power?" Tsubaki asked.
"Partly. But, the main reason is this." Sona put the letter on the table for Tsubaki to see. "Our key to victory in the duel is secured. I bet even Riser Phenex would never expect this to happen. Fufufufu." She continued her creepy laugh as Tsubaki took the letter and read it.
When the glasses beauty read the letter, her eyes widened a little, and she turned to her King. "Is this letter real? It is authentic, right?" She couldn't help but ask.
"Yes." Sona nodded, confirming her question as her lips curled into a mastermind smile. "We won."
