Chapter 59 - A Letter of Love?
Delia watched with her heart beating up her throat as Paris crouched next to Kon. Any threat she threw the Special Exorcist’s way would be ineffective.
"His heartbeat seems normal,” Paris stated. Then she opened his shirt and touched his chest, poking it in different places.
"W -What are you going to do to him?" De...

I stopped asking questions as this might be another one of the conditions he might need to fulfill. Someone who explained his special ability likely had some condition where his ability would become stronger if he explained it. In other cases, it was just stupidity.
Normally, I would go for the Ord battle, the fi...

It felt like lava was rushing through my veins. Every muscle in my body shut down; I tried moving my fingers, but it was like an eternity of pain. My internal organs got covered in boiling water.

As we walked up the stairs, Dalia and I stood in front of Paris.
Dalia put a hand on my shoulder and said. “Be careful, don’t let him touch you, and don’t keep eye contact for too long. Don’t do anything that might complete a condition for an ability to activate. Also, keep a look at what he’s doing; only then you can ...

When reading manga. Having a character go 'all according to plan' was entertaining sometimes. It was the trademark of showing a smart character.
Deep down, every reader knew that the 'smart' character could only be as smart as the author could write it.
But when that translated to the real world. Those 'smart...

As I was following Dalia, she suddenly stopped and looked around.

Essentially, the family letter was calling me back and congratulating me on my academic success.

Walking toward the girl, I didn't feel anything special. There’s no doubt she was pretty. Her hair was also an unnatural color of golden blonde. Knowing the world, that blonde hair was probably natural.
