Arc 2. Chapter 4. Tempest Fedaration

Ayanokoji Pov:

I sighed.

I was back in the bright, green land of the world of Echidna.

"Yeah. I probably would have failed without your interference."

I told Echidna.

To be honest, I had figured out her being in control of Sakayanagi the second she started the banter.

Sakayanagi would have the opposite opinion compared to what "Sakayanagi" said in the trial.

Nevertheless, it was still quite impactful.

"Heeey. I am here."

Echidna exclaimed to break me out of my mind.

Right now though, a question arrived in my mind.

"Why did you make me do this trial?"

I asked her.

"Observant as always. Doing this trial was the only way you could earn a few skills that will make your life easier."
She replied.

Skills that would make my life easier, huh?

"Are you going to give me the name now?"

I asked Echidna.

"Oh yeah. I forgot about that. uh...those guys will kill me if I name him Kiyopon... What about Sora? No... That's too simple..."

She did not prepare for this while I was during my trial, did she?

After a few minutes, she finally thought of a name.

"Alright, choose between these twos."

There were two names written on a piece of paper.

"Pleadies."

"Kaito."

Pleadies or Kaito, huh?

Pleadies, otherwise known as the seven sisters. The cluster of stars containing
Asterope, Taygeta, Altas and other stars.

Kaito can have various meanings depending on the characters used, but commonly it can mean "ocean" or "big dipper" or "constellation."

"...Just give me my old name."

I honestly told her.

I just liked it better.

"Eh? Why not Kaito or Pleadies?"

"Eh. It feels weird."

"Um... Alright. I shall name you Kiyotaka."

Suddenly, a light Enveloped me and I felt the energy coming inside of me.

{Unique skill, [Darkness Consumer] has been acquired.}

Oh. It's the voice of the world.

{Unique skill, [Kantian] has been acquired.}

Kantian?

"Interesting. What does it do?"

Echidna asked me with stars in her eyes.

Alright, Analyze.

{Unique skill Kantian, when used it sets a goal. Until the goal is finished, your strength is increased but if you are unable to finish it in time, you will feel an attack that renders you unconscious.}

Huh.
I see.

"A high-risk, high-reward skill huh? Quite ironic that you of all people got it."

Echidna remarked.
