Highschool DxD: I have a Dimensional Travel System

Chapter 7 - System's Rich Rewards

The next day, Mahiro Toma took advantage of the lunch break to find his senpai again.

"Please help me give this to Rias-senpai."

As before, Mahiro handed the remuneration and the letter to the senpai. The senpai's reliability in getting things done was still trustworthy.

"Dude, you must have failed. But don't be discouraged; there are so many high-quality girls at Kuoh Academy. As handsome as you are, there's no need to focus on just those two. Don't worry, as long as you work hard, you'll find a girlfriend."

Seeing Mahiro's actions, the senpai glanced at him with pity and naturally assumed Mahiro had been rejected. He comforted Mahiro with a few words.

Mahiro gave him a strange look, his lips moved, but he ultimately didn't tell him about Himejima Akeno's promise.

Being so handsome already made the senior feel inferior. If he told him that Himejima Akeno had promised to date again, it might hurt him more.

"Senpai, after working so hard, do you have a girlfriend?" Mahiro asked mercilessly.

"..."

The senpai felt a little pain in his chest. "The third year of high school is so hard, I just want to study."

Oh, single guy.

The corner of Mahiro's mouth showed a contemptuous smile, which hurt the senpai. Seeing this, Mahiro nodded in satisfaction, turned away like a proud victor, and returned to the first-year corridor, leaving behind the battered and grayish-white senpai.

Lunch break.

The senpai's efficiency did not disappoint Mahiro, and Rias walked gracefully in front of him.

This was the first time Mahiro had observed Rias up close. She had a figure comparable to Himejima Akeno's, and her bright red hair was like a flame. Her elegance could captivate anyone's heart.

However, this feeling quickly disappeared.

Mahiro was very clear.

I just crave her body.

As for feelings?

Lust does not count.

After having two experiences, Mahiro was already familiar with this process and quickly entered the state. Rias also displayed her noble upbringing, quietly listening to Mahiro's remarks. Even when interrupted a few times, she remained composed and courteous.

"Thank you for your affection for me, but I'm sorry, I can't accept it."

With a polite smile, Rias rejected Mahiro indifferently.

"I apologize for troubling you, Rias-senpai."

Mahiro also apologized politely. After being rejected, he didn't bother or ask too much. This straightforward attitude made Rias take notice, and her favorability towards him increased slightly.

Mahiro looked at the countdown timer, which was gradually approaching zero, and felt relieved.

He and Rias exchanged a few more polite words, spending the last bit of time to complete the Trial Quest fully.

"Then I won't disturb you any longer, senpai."

Mahiro took the lead in saying goodbye and turned to leave.

After Mahiro left, Rias didn't linger either; she left and headed to the old schoolhouse.

[Trial Quest(3/3)]

[Completed]

"Ding! Congratulations to the host for completing the Trial Quest. The final reward will be issued. Please check."

"Get a chance to draw a lottery once."

"Would you like to use this lottery opportunity now?"

The system's prompt sounded again.

"Let's draw a lottery."

With all the quests completed, Mahiro no longer had any worries and decided to use the reward.

Before the words fell, a roulette wheel appeared in front of Mahiro's eyes.

Just like in the ordinary world, the roulette depicted many things. Mahiro glanced at it, and his eyes suddenly widened.

The items made him greedy.

"Rinnegan, Excalibur, Star Grail, God's Origin, Longinus..."

The high-level items dazzled Mahiro, making him both excited and frustrated. These items were much better than the beginner rewards. If he could get just one, he could significantly improve his strength and join the ranks of the powerful.

Mahiro's heart itched, wishing he could pocket all the items.

"Will you consume a lottery chance?"

"Start."

Mahiro calmed down and responded.

The huge roulette spun quickly, turning into a dazzling blur, making it impossible to judge where it would stop.

"Stop!"

After watching the roulette spin for almost a minute, Mahiro finally made up his mind and shouted "stop."

"Congratulations to the host for obtaining the 'Mystic Eyes of Death Perception (System's Adaptation Version).'"

"..."

Mahiro couldn't contain his excitement. He quickly began to check the properties of the 'Mystic Eyes of Death Perception.'

Item: Mystic Eyes of Death Perception

(System Adaptation Version)

Grade: EX

Effect: Can see the death of things, visualizing the intangible concept of 'death.'

Source: Type-Moon World

"What's with this system adaptation to the Lite version?"

Mahiro asked, noticing an extra line in the description.

"The Mystic Eyes of Death Perception come from the Type-Moon world. Compared to other items, they have certain special features, which come with great restrictions on usage. After adaptation and streamlining, these restrictions and side effects are eliminated. Although, some worlds have restrictions towards death laws such as Marvel, Index and others. These eyes are still strong enough to protect the host."

"But the host needs proper strength to use these eyes to inflict the concept of death on stronger opponents."

The system responded.

"I see."

Mahiro was satisfied with this answer. 

"I don't if it's Ryougi's or Tohno's. But if I'm strong then with this version, I would probably be on par with beings like Aleister Crowley. The ability to see death... this is a game-changer."

He vaguely remembered that the Mystic Eyes of Death Perception had certain limitations in their use, needing an understanding of the concept of death and assistance from the Root, and it was easy to overload the brain when using them.

This brain overload probably meant literally burning the brain, just like a computer overheating and burning the CPU.

With fewer restrictions and side effects, the Mystic Eyes were easier to use.

"Use the Mystic Eyes of Death Perception."

Mahiro thought lightly and used the item.

The next moment, Mahiro felt a strange sensation in his eyes. He closed his eyes and found a special connection.

Mahiro opened his eyes, and his dark pupils instantly turned icy blue.

At the same time, the world changed.

The previously intact world now had numerous terrifying cracks.

"Are these death lines?"

Mahiro knew that these cracks were the so-called death lines seen through the Mystic Eyes.

As long as these death lines were gently cut, the object would 'die.'

Mahiro squatted down and gently stroked the black and red lines on the floor tiles, very carefully using light force to avoid accidentally severing the "death line."

"Close!"

Mahiro let out a sigh of relief, closed the Mystic Eyes, and returned to his original dark pupils. The scene in his eyes reverted to normal.

"Next..."

The corner of Mahiro's mouth twitched into a smile. Besides the lottery rewards, he had saved many beginner rewards that were still unused.

"Use the Physique Enhancement Card!"

"Use the 'Basic Swordsmanship Mastery Card!'"

"Use the 'Intuition/Instinct Skill Card!'"

"Use the 'Instant-Sword Slash Card!'"

Mahiro used all the saved items in one go.

"So cool!"

The feeling of using up everything at once was truly refreshing, akin to eating all the desserts at once.

A series of prompt sounded, accompanied by physical changes.

In an instant, Mahiro felt a warm current rushing through his body, as if swept by a spring breeze. The comfortable feeling fascinated him, and at the same time, Mahiro felt his limbs were full of strength.

"Enhancement?"

Mahiro couldn't help clenching his fists. He felt his current strength was amazing, like he could punch through anything.

Mahiro felt an unprecedented ease in his body. He bent slightly, exerted force with his feet, and jumped, suddenly reaching a height of three meters above the ground.

Mahiro was very satisfied with his current physical fitness. He had only tested it a little, without using full strength, yet the jumping power was far beyond ordinary people.

He waved his hand, feeling mastery over physique, basic swordsmanship, and the instant-sword slash technique, all grasped effortlessly.

"Physical skills are fine, but with swordsmanship and the instant-sword slash, I should get a suitable weapon."

After the excitement calmed down, Mahiro began to think.

There was no doubt that the strongest attack method in his arsenal was the instant-sword slash technique. Even without personal testing, he knew this judgment was accurate.

Since it involved slashing with a sword, a suitable weapon was necessary.

"You can purchase from the mall for a certain amount of points."

The system gave a prompt.

"Check out the card mall and show me what's available."

A list of items suddenly appeared in Mahiro's eyes.

After systematic screening, Mahiro's view naturally focused on items such as famous swords and blades, avoiding the need to search.

"It's too expensive."

However, after seeing the prices of those weapons, Mahiro couldn't help but complain.

Those weapons cost thousands of points. The mere hundred points he had were insufficient, not even a fraction of those high-tier weapons.

In the end, Mahiro sorted the prices from low to high and focused on the most affordable weapon.

Item: Refined Katana

Grade: F

Comments: This is a very sharp samurai sword; do not cut your hands.

Price: 50 points.

"Forget it, let's make do with this for now."

Mahiro had no choice but to spend fifty points on a refined samurai sword.

"It looks pretty good."

Mahiro took out the katana. It was in the style of a Japanese sword. The clean blade was bright and smooth like a mirror, reflecting Mahiro's figure.

The blade appeared tough and sharp, with a thin edge that flashed a cold light, as if forged through countless trials.

Even without much knowledge of swords, Mahiro could tell this samurai sword was superior to those sold in the real world, definitely among the best.

"Sure enough, system-produced items are always top-notch."

Mahiro chuckled.

Even the cheapest katana was perfectly crafted among the cheap.

After waving the katana twice with satisfaction, Mahiro put it into the system space and then left.
