SCIAW: Chapter 481: Night

Night fell, and all the members of the Occult Research Club who had been playing outside all day had returned.

“This is what Hayasaka and I accomplished today.”

A large fish, suspended by a thick rope, was taller than a person, with fine scales and a blue-silver appearance.

Although he had never eaten it, Ren speculated with a hint of curiosity:

“Is this... a tuna?”

“Correct!”

Maria proudly patted the fish’s body.

“If it weren’t for Hayasaka finding such a suitable fishing spot today, we really wouldn’t have been able to catch this fish.”

Hayasaka, whose name was called, recalled the scene of Maria catching the tuna, and her face was full of admiration.

“Actually, I wasn’t very sure if that area could catch this level of fish. I also saw in some forums before that there was such a place suitable for tuna fishing.”

“Originally, I was just trying it out, but I didn’t expect Miss Maria to actually be able to catch such a big one.”

Thinking of Maria pulling this human-height tuna out of the sea with a special fishing rod by herself, Hayasaka felt that Maria’s personal strength might only be second to Miss Mouri.

She had been eating sea king meat longer than Maria, and her physique had also rapidly soared, but she still felt that Maria’s physique was much more outrageous.

“It should be said that Maria is a professional in the field of fishing.”

Ren looked at the human-height tuna, and then at Maria, who was a head shorter than the tuna. This was professionalism.

He lightly pinched his thumb on his index finger, entering spirit vision.

The entire etheric body was stained with a layer of earthy yellow Elemental Power. The abundant Elemental Power was even more talented than Nagi.

The correlation between the mental body and the etheric body increased, and that abundant Elemental Power also affected the mental body, even beginning to show some earthy yellow Elemental Power crystals.

It was too fast.

From Ren’s perspective, this was the process of organs beginning to transform into a Vision.

A Vision is an external magical organ, but for a Genshin to go further, it needs to abandon the Vision and let the inside transform into one of the magical organs.

By the way, is the Genshin’s evolution speed so fast?

However, Ren also didn’t know the situation within Genshin. After all, he had only played that game, and he didn’t know the evolution method in that game clearly.

Ren’s eyes turned to Nagi, then paused slightly.

Nagi’s situation was not much different from Maria’s. Various parts of the etheric body were also immersed in green wind, and the mental body was also affected in the same way.

Although there was no crystallization of Elemental Power, there was a difference between wind and rock. Wind was more condensed at the etheric level. Was wind more inclined to elementalization, leaning toward becoming an element?

The master and servant’s directions, one leaning toward elements and the other toward physics, were like the Anemo Archon and Geo Archon in Genshin.

“By the way, how were you today? Did you have fun?”

As she spoke, Maria looked at the four people who had been acting together today with curiosity.

Ren and the other three exchanged glances, all sighing helplessly, and then recounted what happened shortly after they went out today.

“Eh? As soon as you went out, you ran into a guy who hit on you, and this guy even targeted Sonoko, and he even killed someone yesterday?”

Aizawa Sakuya’s eyes widened. She even wondered if she was hallucinating. How could you run into someone with full buffs just after going out?

Isumi was also a little worried amidst her confusion.

“It was just a collision with fate.”

Ren shook his head slightly, denying the issue of luck. This was a matter of fate.

Sonoko nudged him with her elbow, her eyes sharp, clearly not wanting Ren to continue the topic.

In response, Ren nodded slightly and did not continue.

“Saginomiya, you went diving with Miss Aizawa and Chika today. How was it?”

“Us? Hm... I don’t really like diving, but Sakuya and Chika quite like it.”

Isumi was not very interested in diving, just as she was not very interested in beaches and swimming.

“Although I wasn’t very interested, this time I still used some barrier spells to appreciate the underwater scenery near the beach.”

Isumi was not very interested in diving, but she still liked the scenery of the sea.

Utilizing the barrier spells inherited from Kikyo allowed her to easily enter the seabed through the barrier spells, and the key was that she didn’t need to change into a swimsuit.

At this moment, Aizawa Sakuya, who was beside her, placed both hands on Isumi’s shoulders from behind. Her face was smiling, but there was a hint of a mischievous devil.

“Isumi, it’s not easy to come to the beach. Exploring the seabed should be done in a swimsuit. It’s really not good for you to wear a kimono and hide in a barrier to go to the seabed today.”

“Exactly.”

Saying that, Chika also darted to Isumi’s side.

“Isumi is too unsociable. She came to the beach and is still so reserved in the private beach area.”

“But, but...”

Isumi, held by the two, looked troubled.

Ren looked at Aizawa Sakuya’s mischievous smile and somewhat helplessly helped her out:

“Aizawa, that’s enough. Chika doesn’t know that Saginomiya isn’t good at swimming, but you should know, right?”

“Eh? Is Isumi not good at swimming?”

Chika looked at Isumi in surprise, and at this moment, the shy girl also nodded slightly.

“Hm...”

Isumi, who was good at sports, spells, and exorcising evil spirits, also had areas she was not good at, and that was swimming.

Because her family was relatively traditional, she had never worn a swimsuit in front of outsiders, so Isumi had never learned to swim, and naturally, she was not good at it at all.

Watching Isumi being rescued, Aizawa Sakuya sighed in disappointment:

“Oh, there was clearly a chance for Isumi to wear a swimsuit again.”

And this remark was met with a glare from Isumi.

She knew that Sakuya was deliberately trying to make fun of her.
