Rencarnation Room {Other Story line}

El, who had been silent with his mind drifting, suddenly shifted her attention. With a calm hand movement, he opened his skill panel, something he had been neglecting.

Ding!

Instantly, a holographic display appeared in front of his face, floating with a soft light that broke the darkness of the night.

The display glowed faintly, yet it was bright enough to reflect light on El's face, clarifying her expression that remained flat and cold.

His distinctive eyes took in every word written on the screen, reading the descriptions one by one without missing a detail. No emotion could be seen on his face, just a sharp focus as if he was analyzing something vital.

Violin Art skills can be obtained by El more quickly, without the need for years because El relies on the Eye of Insight to remember Yuri's hand movements when playing the violin.

"So this is all I have," he murmured softly, his voice almost swallowed up in the sound of the campfire. "I learned the Violin Art Ability from imitating Yuri and the Ghost Spirit is a fragmentary existence of Yuri's soul."

El frowned while looking at the holographic screen in front of her. "Now I understand why so many Beyonders are after this ability..."

"So this is why," El muttered as he tapped his finger lightly on his chin. "Many Beyonders want to acquire this ability. It's not just the power, but the loyalty... it's like having a team member who will never betray."

His gaze deepened, delving into the details of Spirit Ghost's need to devour souls to grow stronger.

"However, this is also dangerous," he said in a low tone. "Devouring souls... the impact can destroy the user's soul. But if this is connected to Yuri's soul fragment, could the rules be different?"

A calm yet familiar voice suddenly sounded inside his mind. Yuri replied in a casual tone, as if talking about trivial matters. "Of course it's different. My cultivation technique is unique, I don't need to devour souls to become stronger."

El raised an eyebrow, a little skeptical, but he listened anyway. Yuri continued, "Didn't I tell you before? I just need to cultivate to increase my strength."

Yuri's tone sounded like she was sighing. "Unfortunately, there is a limit of 100 attributes. This must be the limit of the Beyonder's ability with authority level 5," she said while giving a casual explanation.

However, the tone turned slightly lighter as she continued. "But, this is also good news. With this limit, you can focus on strengthening your body to be better prepared for the Tribulation that I experienced back then."

El fell silent. His eyes turned serious, his mind began to analyze. This information was important, and he immediately tried to integrate it with the plan that was being devised in his mind.

A deep breath followed, as if to signal that El had made a decision. "Fine," he said softly. "If that's the case, I'll make the most of this."

Suddenly, Yuri made a completely unexpected statement in a joking tone. "Kyaa... Oni-san, please treat me gently. I'm still a virgin."

El fell silent. His face remained calm, but there was a subtle change in his expression, like he was holding something back. In the back of his mind, there was a hint of annoyance mixed with wonder, but he chose not to respond to the comment.

"Why is she always like this?" thought El, trying to refocus on his plan.

Suddenly, a very familiar scent infiltrated his sense of smell, waking him up from his contemplation. He recognized the smells easily.

They were: Satomi, Kisara, Shouma, Tamaki, Enju, Tina, Midori, and Kayo.

With one smooth motion, El closed the hologram screen. Not for fear of anyone seeing, but rather because she wanted to focus on the upcoming conversation.

After all, the status panel information was private, only the owner could see the screen, unless there was someone with special abilities who could peek at it.

Finally, they arrived at the camping area, surprised to find El already there, sitting quietly looking at the brightly lit campfire.

They took their places around the campfire, forming a circle. Kayo sat on El's left, while Satomi took her place on her right, followed by Kisara, Shoma, Tamaki, Midori, Enju, Tina, and Yuzuki.

The flame in their midst gave off a warm glow, but the atmosphere was cold and awkward.

No one dared to open the conversation, considering the previous incident. Some of them looked nervous, and some of them even started to break out in cold sweat, wondering where to start.

In the middle of the silence, El sighed softly. She smiled slightly, though her gaze remained fixed on the campfire. "Are you guys feeling better after hearing my statement before the meeting?" he asked in a calm tone.

Satomi, who was sitting next to him, glanced at El with an awkward look. He scratched his cheek nervously, though it was definitely not itchy. "Sorry, I think we touched on a sensitive topic earlier," she said slowly.

Shoma nodded, a guilty expression gracing his face. "I apologize too," he said, closing his eyes for a moment. "I lost my temper and almost hit you."

Midori looked down, her voice small and regretful. "Ano... I'm also sorry for foreseeing things that... made things worse."

El gave them a quick glance, then looked back at the fire. "It doesn't matter," His voice remained cold yet calm as she replied, "In a group, arguments are poison. I'm just glad there weren't any protracted arguments."

The group breathed a sigh of relief. Although El's cold nature often left them confused as to whether they should be grateful or not. However, it was clear that this trait was a blessing that reconciled the atmosphere.

Satomi looked at El, curious. "You were able to get to the camp so fast. Did you use your demon-killing technique earlier?" he asked, trying to unravel the mystery behind El's speed.

For Satomi, maybe that question was a way to get to know El better. El was indeed the type of person who was hard to guess, not because he was unique, but because he held too many secrets that provoked curiosity.

Hearing the question, all eyes were on El, including Kayo, who was looking at her with great interest.

They all still remembered how, after the meeting in the hall was over, they suddenly realized El had disappeared without a trace. Their suspicion that El used a special technique grew stronger.

El, who was still looking at the campfire with a flat expression, replied in a casual tone, "I ran away from the beginning. I was too lazy to listen to Gadou Nagamasa's speech."

Their reactions were simultaneous. Shocked looks graced the faces around the campfire.

Not only because of the fact that El had slipped away without anyone noticing, but also because of how casual and casual she was.

Kayo, who was sitting next to her, nudged El with her elbow, her eyes narrowed in reprimand. "You know what? We might get punished for your behavior," she said in a slightly annoyed tone.

El just shrugged, remaining calm. "Take it easy, I thought Gadou Nagamasa didn't eat people."

Kayo tapped her own forehead in frustration, snorting softly. "The issue isn't whether or not he eats people! The problem is that we could get punished!"

"Then I'll just beat him," El replied very casually.

As their conversation continued, Kayo's annoyed voice and El's casual replies began to break the ice.

From being stiff and awkward, the campfire circle was slowly filled with chuckles and faint smiles.

These small quarrels actually livened up the atmosphere, bringing warmth in the middle of a cold night.

For the others, perhaps this moment was a reminder that even though El was cold and very mysterious, he could make them feel comfortable. Even if it's in a rather unusual way.
