(otome game sekai wa mob) Climbing To The Top In This Dumb World.

Chapter 9. Returning home.

Angelica: It just feels foolish now. Nothing I said was ever going to get through to the prince, it was pure selfishness. All it did was make Leon and Y/n outcasts.

Olivia: I think you are putting way too much pressure on yourself. Leon knew what he was doing, he said he had to play the villain to be the hero so he had to know he would be cast out as for Y/n... Well, he doesn't seem like one to mind what people think.

Angelica: That doesn't matter, I went to see the prince before properly thanking them. I'm such a terrible person.

Olivia: Oh Angelica..

Olivia comforted her.

--

Luxion: This is tremendously depressing. Will you not attempt to console them?

Y/n: Huh? Why should he? She should feel guilty, she went to see the damn prince instead of properly thanking us. That is something to be guilty of. It's like saving a woman from her abusive husband and Instead of thanking your saviour you go to your husband in hospital THEN you go to your saviour and thank him. What does she see in that guy anyway?

Luxion: Using that logic I understand. You hold a grudge don't you master?

Y/n: It's not a grudge. I just don't think we should celebrate behaviour we are not fond of.

Leon: When did you get here anyway?

Y/n: Around the part where Olivia was going on about you playing the villain for everyone else's sake. Anyway, Nii san we need to talk.

--

Y/n and Leon were sitting on two large couches opposite each other.

Leon: So what did you want to talk about?

Y/n: My eyes they've been acting weird lately.

Leon: Your ability?

Y/n: Yeah, It's like it's sentient. Remember when I activated my ability my eyes were a bit shiny.

Leon: Yeah I do remember that.

Y/n: They've evolved, I went into the zone and was image training for my duels. I was so concentrated I accidentally activated my ability and they became real.

Leon: They became real?

Y/n: I don't know how to explain it but when image training I imagine them hence why it's called image training but they became real.

Leon: Okay if you can't explain how they became real tell me how it was different from the other times you image train.

Y/n: When they attacked me I felt the wind move but when the blow was supposed to connect I felt nothing. I was able to hear their footsteps as well as their breathing.

Leon: Hmm I see. Maybe this is another part of your ability, your body puts you into a semi-illusion and recreates a battle situation by stimulating your senses.

Y/n: I don't get it.

Leon: To register things like pain, smell, and taste our receptors send that information to our brain. Maybe your ability put's your body in a state where those receptors send false information to make your image training more effective. For example, you said you heard your opponent's steps, you imagined him stepping towards you so your ability forced the receptors in your ear to send information to your brain making you think you heard him.

Y/n: I think I get it.

Steam was coming from Y/n's head.

Leon: Don't worry about it too much, your small brain can't handle it.
