NOVEL NEXT Chapter 33 – Boosted Gear
Chapter 33 - Boosted Gear
Mahiro had already figured out the general structure of Hyoudou Issei's house. The internal layout was similar to ordinary households, so the structure wasn't difficult to understand.
When Mahiro jumped onto the balcony on the second floor, he quickly found Issei's room.
There was no one in the corridor on the second floor.
From the entrance of the stairs, the sound of the TV and conversation from the first floor could be heard.
The Hyoudou family should be on the first floor.
Most families are having dinner now, and the Hyoudou family should still be eating.
There was no one on the second floor, which suited Mahiro perfectly.
It would be problematic if he accidentally bumped into Issei's parents.
For now, Mahiro was unable to use magic to erase their memories.
Otherwise, there was no need to come to Issei's house in disguise.
Mahiro glanced at the stairs and listened to the conversation of the Hyoudou family with his extraordinary hearing.
"It looks like Hyoudou Issei will be back in half an hour at most."
Listening to their conversation, Mahiro calculated the time.
Concluding the time for dessert after the meal wouldn't exceed half an hour at most.
Issei should go upstairs afterward.
After having an idea, Mahiro walked directly to the door of Issei's room, opened the door, and walked in.
"There's still some time, I'll just wait."
It would only take half an hour at most, and Mahiro could wait for that long.
He still had some patience.
Although he also wanted to rush downstairs and beat Hyoudou Issei. For convenience, Mahiro decided it was better to wait.
Mahiro's eyes fell on Issei's desk, with the games that had been opened on it.
Mahiro walked over with great interest. The cover of the game was very explicit; it was the adult game(eroge game) that Issei bought.
The computer window had a website opened, but a hidden tab was on the taskbar.
"Idle hands are the devil's workshop."
Mahiro thought for a while, then sat beside the computer carelessly.
He didn't have any awareness of being in someone else's house. He opened the hidden tan and started playing games to pass the time.
After playing for over ten minutes, Mahiro put down the mouse because he heard footsteps.
Pat--!
There was the sound of the door.
"I must beat complete the game today. I heard the final heroine would be shown naked."
Hyoudou Issei looked eager and excited, with a bit of lewdness on his face.
After opening the door, he rushed in impatiently.
However, the scene in the room stunned and startled him.
A masked man was sitting at his desk, and the computer's game window was open.
It was the adult game(eroge) he had been playing before dinner.
"Who are you? Why are you in my room?"
Issei asked stupidly.
As a high school student, he was not very vigilant.
He didn't fear much when he saw a strange guy with a mask in his room.
He didn't think the person might be a gangster or something; he just found it a little weird.
"Hello."
Mahiro stood up and said politely.
"Hello!?"
Issei didn't react for a while and replied blankly.
"No, is this the time to say hello? Who are you and why are you in my room?"
Issei immediately came back to his senses and asked in a loud voice.
"I heard you are powerful, so I came to challenge you."
Mahiro said playfully.
"Powerful? Do you mean on playing games?"
Hyoudou Issei asked nervously.
"..."
Mahiro was a little amused. The protagonist was really open-hearted.
At this time, he even thought of the weird idea of playing games.
"Forget it, I don't have time!"
Mahiro shook his head, not intending to waste any more time lest there be more complications.
"What?"
Hyoudou Issei was startled. He saw Mahiro's figure jump from the spot suddenly, like an inhuman, very fast.
Issei was stunned momentarily, then turned around and ran without saying a word.
Unfortunately, his speed was too slow.
Mahiro suddenly rushed in front of Issei.
"Boom!"
Mahiro smashed Issei's stomach with a punch, knocking him out and hitting the wall.
"It hurts!"
Hyoudou Issei cried.
The pain was so intense that his tears were about to flow out.
He cursed, "You bastard, who the hell are you? Why are you beating me?"
Mahiro didn't speak, walked to Issei's side, and calmly punched him again under Issei's frightened eyes.
This time, there was no response.
Issei leaned softly against the wall, his head tilted to one side and passed out.
"Ding, congratulations to the host. The side quest: Emperor's Defeat has been completed, and the rewards are being distributed. Please check."
"Get a Sacred Gear Loot Card and get one hundred points."
A series of prompts sounded,
Mahiro knew that the task had been completed.
"Presence of the Sacred Gear holder, Use the Sacred Gear Loot Card?" The system asked.
Mahiro didn't answer immediately but gave Issei another punch.
Issei's body trembled twice, but there was no other reaction.
"Use the Sacred Gear Loot Card."
After seeing that Issei was beaten into a deep coma by him and should have no resistance, Mahiro used the reward.
A burst of light flashed, covering Issei and enveloping him.
The next moment, a burst of light gushed out from Issei's body, and the source of this light was a ferocious gauntlet.
It was the Boosted Gear, one of the Thirteen Longinus.
There was a trace of greed in Mahiro's eyes.
One of the Longinus.
'This is a good stuff!'
Even with Mahiro's current strength, there may be no way to fully utilize Longinus' abilities.
However, at least he can use it when he reaches a High-class.
Moreover, the ability of the Boosted Gear is simple and powerful, which is very suitable for Mahiro.
Mahiro stretched out his hand toward the Boosted Gear, and when his palm touched it, the gauntlet instantly turned into a blooming light and merged into Mahiro's arm.
