I'm doing abstract animation

The blue-haired boy crushed it with a single, expressionless step, then looked at the trash can: "You don't really think you can get away with this, do you?"

He slowly stretched out his hand, and a surge of flames suddenly erupted from his hand, instantly turning the entire alleyway crimson.

When the flames died down, everything in the alley had vanished.

Gradually, the houses on both sides of the alley slowly moved closer together, eventually fitting together perfectly.

People were coming and going all around, and no one noticed the change.

Volume 1: Chapter 10 Basic Settings

Yui Yuigahama hugged Yumiko Miura and was surprised to find that she didn't feel any strain at all, which would have been impossible under normal circumstances.

She's a beautiful girl who can't even kill a chicken!

"Is each awakening a process of power fusion...?"

She felt like she understood what that sentence meant.

Yuuki Risa walked ahead and said calmly, "Don't be too surprised. Although it's just a blank card, it's enough to put you at the pinnacle of humanity."

"White card?"

Yui Yuigahama asked curiously, "Is it because the card is white?"

"You are right to understand that."

Now that Yui Yuigahama has become a beginner, he should share some basic settings with her.

Yuki casually pulled four cards out of his pocket.

He slowed his pace, positioning himself side-by-side with Yui Yuigahama.

He then showed Yui Yuigahama one of the four station cards.

Yui Yuigahama looked closely at the card; it was a completely white card with a katana depicted on it.

“This is a white card,” Yuki explained. “But I usually call this type a white item card.”

"Item card?" Yui Yuigahama asked in confusion.

“I categorize cards into three types: item cards, character cards, and ability cards,” Yuuki Osamu continued to explain. “The card you used before was a character card. Character cards are the most comprehensive cards, containing all the abilities of the card character. In addition to being able to integrate them into yourself and gain all the abilities of the card character, you can also summon the card character as a summonable creature to fight by injecting energy into it.”

"The card in my hand is an item card. This kind of card cannot be integrated into the body, but it can summon the items inside."

Yuki gently squeezed the card, and the white card instantly transformed into a white streak of light, forming a katana in his hand.

"It's important to note that item cards are consumable, like the potion card I gave you before; they disappear after use."

Just thinking about that card made Yuuki's lips twitch, and his gaze toward Yumi Miura, whom Yui Yuigahama was holding, began to turn hostile.

Potion cards are extremely rare, and those that can heal regardless of injury are even rarer. He only had fifteen of these cards left after accidentally trading them with a dark-skinned starfish-headed guy.

As if sensing something, Yumiko Miura trembled inexplicably.

"Huh? Yumiko, are you awake?"

Feeling her friend trembling in her arms, Yui Yuigahama quickly stopped and asked with concern.

Miura Yuko: "..."

"Still not awake? Was she having a nightmare..." Yui Yuigahama couldn't help but tighten her embrace around her friend, her eyes filled with affection.

Yuuki Osamu: "..."

Why does it feel so yuri-esque?

But he's still not awake?

The effects of these potion cards aren't so reasonable...

After taking a deep look at Miura Yumiko, whose face was covered in blood and who was completely unlike her usual self, Yuki Ryo did not expose her.

After all, his mission required curious individuals like this...

"If the item is not consumed or damaged, it can still be converted back into a card. Of course, this requires a certain amount of energy."

The katana in Yuuki Risa's hand transformed into a white light and became a card in his hand.

"so amazing!"

Yui Yuigahama's eyes lit up, and suddenly she seemed to have thought of something, asking, "Can this transformation process be used on other items?"

Yuuki looked at her with surprise; this girl didn't seem as stupid as she had imagined...

"Of course, as long as you master the process and have enough power, you can even turn the Tokyo Tower into a card if you want."

Yui Yuigahama's eyes began to sparkle; she had made up her mind—she had to master this ability!

So I won't have to carry a bag anymore!

"There's another type, ability cards, which you probably can't access right now, so you don't need to learn about them for the time being."

"Let's move on to the next class."

Yuki put away the white katana card and showed the second card to Yui Yuigahama.

It was a card that was entirely blue, with a television set on it, and on the television set, a woman whose face was completely covered by her hair was slowly crawling out.

Yuigahama Yui: "..."

After a pause of about three seconds, Yui Yuigahama spoke somewhat uncertainly, "Sadako?"

"Hey, do you know Sadako?"

This time, it was Yuuki's turn to be surprised.

"Um, I think everyone in Japan knows her, right?" Yui Yuigahama's lips twitched. "After all, she's a well-known weirdo."

Yuuki Osamu: "..."

That was where he made a mistake. He thought that the entertainment works in this world would be completely different from those in his previous life, but he didn't expect that there would be similarities.

It seems I'll need to familiarize myself with the entertainment works of this world more in the future.

He used to have no time. He was overwhelmed by Nyx and could barely breathe. All he did all day was do missions and exercise. He had no mood to rest or relax.

Now I can explore more of this world's culture and entertainment...

“Since you know about Sadako, then it’s simple.” Yuki nodded. Indeed, this made it easier for him to explain.

Yui Yuigahama wanted to say something, but after thinking about it, she didn't ask. She just looked at the blue card with a conflicted expression.

"The reason the cards are different colors is because they represent different effects. The white cards, like the ones before, are basically things that won't have a big impact. Most of them can be destroyed in your world, and the damage they cause is at most the level of a city. They belong to the beginner level of the extraordinary realm, but they are still within the realm of basic understanding."

Yui Yuigahama's lips twitched as she listened. What did she mean by "at most, it will only destroy one city"?

She simply doesn't understand that kind of existence!

“But the blue card is different.” Yuuki Risa pulled out the blue Sadako card, wanting to summon it to broaden Yui Yuigahama’s horizons.

“There’s no need, no need!” Yui Yuigahama shook her head frantically, interrupting Yuuki Risa’s actions: “You, you can just tell me, there’s no need to summon her.”

Just kidding, that's Sadako, one of the most traumatic figures in Japan, and Yui Yuigahama is no exception, let alone now that she's on the street...

"what?"

Yui Yuigahama noticed something, and her expression turned strange.

"Yuki-kun, I've noticed something strange..."

Yui Yuigahama, carrying Yumiko Miura, followed behind Osamu Yuuki, glancing around cautiously before asking, "I feel something's strange. It's like the people around us can't see us..."

She was carrying Yumiko Miura, whose face was covered in blood and whose clothes were tattered. This sight would have caused a commotion anywhere, but even though she had been gone for almost ten minutes and people were coming and going, not a single person had glanced at them.

Yuuki thought for a moment, then put away the Sadako card in her hand and took out a new blue card.

Yui Yuigahama looked at it curiously, but quickly became confused, because there was nothing there except a cloud of mist.

"This card is called Demonic Mist," Yuuki said casually. "It's one of the cards I use quite often."

"We just talked about the difference between blue and white cards, so comparing this card is about the same."

"If white cards can be said to represent the entry level of the extraordinary, but which mortals can still fight against, then blue cards represent the advanced stage of the extraordinary that mortals can no longer fight against."

"Like this demonic mist, it doesn't enhance combat at all, nor does it have any destructive power whatsoever, yet its rank can climb to blue. Do you know why?"

Yui Yuigahama stared at the blue card, lost in thought...

Yui Yuigahama continued to ponder...

Yui Yuigahama gave up thinking after seeing Yuki Risa's face gradually turn cold.

"why?"

Yui Yuigahama asked, staring with clear yet foolish eyes.

"...Hoo..." Yuuki took a deep breath, repeatedly telling herself to stay calm. She had chosen this person herself, so there was no need to get angry with her...

"Because most of the cards in the blue tier are things that your world cannot understand," Yuuki said coldly.

"Cannot...understand?"

“Yes.” Yuuki nodded. “Actually, you’ve seen the Demonic Mist before.”

Have we met before?

Yui Yuigahama frowned, then suddenly remembered something and exclaimed with a look of realization, "This is the fog we encountered at that station before?!"

"Looks like you're not hopelessly stupid after all."

Yuki nodded with satisfaction.

Yuigahama Yui: "..."

Hey hey hey, that's too much!

Ignoring Yui Yuigahama's slightly puffed-up cheeks, Yuki continued to explain, "The Demonic Mist is a unique product of another dimension. Its only function is to conceal the other dimension, but if it can be transformed into a card, then its effect will be applied to the user."

Yui Yuigahama nodded thoughtfully: "So, the reason we haven't attracted anyone's attention until now is because it's been working?"

Yuki nodded.

“But…” Yui Yuigahama hesitated, a hint of doubt on her face: “Just being hidden? That seems a bit far-fetched…”

She had experienced the power of the white card, and she still remembered that powerful feeling. It's no exaggeration to say that she was like a superhero back then!

But Yuki said that this card, which only had the ability to conceal itself, surpassed that kind of power... It wasn't that she didn't believe Yuki, she was just a little confused.

"I think you don't understand at all!"

After saying this in a strange tone, Yuuki Osamu revealed a mysterious smile: "Watch closely, I'll demonstrate the power of concealment to you."

After saying that, he walked straight toward a middle-aged office worker carrying a briefcase, who looked like he had just gotten off work.

"Hey hey hey, we're about to run into...wait?"

Yui Yuigahama's eyes widened as she watched the overworked office worker walk straight with a weary expression, only to suddenly turn a corner when Yuuki Ri blocked her way.

Yui Yuigahama saw that the salaryman turned the corner and then subconsciously walked back to a straight line without any emotion, as if he had never turned the corner at all.

"Did you find anything?"

Yuki returned to Yui Yuigahama's side and asked her.

Yui Yuigahama thought for a moment, then shook her head. She had a vague feeling about it, but it wasn't quite clear.

"Let me demonstrate it to you again."

Yuki shook his head, then looked around and walked towards a takoyaki cart by the roadside.

Then, right under the shop owner's nose, he snatched a serving of takoyaki, without the owner even looking up.

Yuki took another yen note out of his pocket and placed it in front of the shopkeeper, who still didn't notice anything.

Only after Yuki walked away did the shopkeeper pick up the yen note and look around with a puzzled expression.

"Do you understand?"

Yuki took a bite of the takoyaki in her hand and asked.

"..." Yui Yuigahama swallowed hard: "This takoyaki is delicious?"
