Chs 12 - In anime wolrd with Extraordinary system

Kaito's Apartment – Midnight

There were no footsteps. No door opening.

In an instant, a thin, almost imperceptible distortion passed through the air… and Kaito's body appeared out of thin air in the middle of his apartment's living room.

There were no flashy lights. No sound effects or small explosions like teleportation. Just a clean, silent, perfect transition, as if he had always been there.

He took a step, and his long blue coat loosened. He opened the front, folded it gently, and placed it neatly on the back of the chair. On the table, he placed the mask, still warm from his breath.

A large mirror at the side of the room reflected his figure. A strong body, a calm face, and jet-black hair that fell neatly to his forehead.

He stared at his reflection for a few moments.

Then he raised his hand, traced the air in front of his face, and opened a system interface panel invisible to the human eye.

A halo appeared before his left eye. It was subtle and transparent, like a reflection on the surface of water.

Silently, his hair faded strand by strand, fading from jet black to its natural color. His signature silvery white.

The faint glow of the system's light faded, and he stared back at his reflection in the mirror. His hair was back to its original state, gleaming softly in the dim light of the room.

"Black is just for shadows," he said softly, as if answering something inaudible.

He opened a small drawer under the desk and pulled out a thin t-shirt and loose pants. After changing, he sat on the sofa, letting his body sink into the silence of the quiet apartment.

He looked up at the ceiling.

The fight from earlier was still playing in his head. Not because it was difficult… but because it was too easy.

Tohka was no ordinary opponent. But still, in a flash, he had knocked her out.

And he hadn't drawn his sword yet.

"If they knew this was just the beginning… they'd start to fear me before they even saw me coming."

A thin laugh escaped his lips. Not mockery. Not arrogance. But a strange kind of calm, a quiet, deep confidence.

Kaito closed his eyes for a moment. Not to sleep. But to reassess his next steps.

He knew that after tonight, the world would begin to stir. Spies would search for him. Spirits would wonder. Humans would speculate.

And they would try to understand who the masked man was.

The Noir Blade.

He opened his eyes, staring out the window at the dark city.

Let them guess.

Because in the end…

He would rise above it all.

Kaito immediately stood up and headed to the bathroom to refresh himself from all the events of the day.

After his shower, Kaito went straight to his room and changed his clothes. He was ready for bed, but before that, he checked the system notification he had ignored while contemplating earlier.

[ding! Main mission completed

Mission: Confront the Princess

Status: Completed

Reward: Observation Haki (Perfection) (S), 1x Rare Ticket, 5000 XP, 1000 PS]

[The reward will be stored in your inventory]

Kaito, upon seeing that he had obtained Observation Haki, couldn't contain his excitement, as this was one of the strongest abilities in the One Piece world.

[Observation Haki (Perfection) (S)]

is a form of Haki that allows the user to sense the presence of others, even if they are hidden from view or too far away to be seen naturally. When using this type of Haki, one can predict an opponent's movements long before they launch them, making attacks easier to dodge. This prediction appears to the user as an image or premonition of what the opponent will do in the user's mind's eye. The user can predict the enemy's movements. At the highest level, the user can see moments into the future.]

An unstoppable wave of excitement washed over him. He couldn't help the wide smile that spread across his face, for this was one of the most powerful abilities he knew of in the world of One Piece.

His heart pounded as he read the description of Observation Haki: the ability to sense the presence of others, even those hidden or far away. Even more astonishing, this Haki allowed him to predict an opponent's movements long before the attack was launched.

These predictions would appear as images or premonitions in his mind. At its most advanced, he could even see moments into the future. A power that defied logic was now within his grasp.

Kaito immediately opened his status to check the progress.

"Status," Kaito said dryly.

Although there aren't many changes, Kaito is still satisfied with his current status. Kaito immediately closes his status and prepares to do the gacha.

"System, use rare ticket," Kaito commands the system.

After a moment, the system's voice is heard in his mind. Kaito

[ding! Congratulations, host, for obtaining the skill: Vergil Battle Experience (S)]

[Vergil Battle Experience (S):

Kaito fell silent.

His eyes widened slowly, his blue pupils reflecting holographic text that seemed to whisper a new destiny into him. A few seconds passed in silence. There was no wind, no sound, only one thing echoing in his head:

Vergil…

Then, the wave came.

It wasn't a warm current, not an excruciating pain, but a kind of pressure that slowly enveloped his soul, cold, sharp, and deep. It felt like being pulled into an endless space, where time stood still and only one awareness existed: the presence of a great warrior who had lived in shadow and emptiness for hundreds of years.

Kaito's body froze. His breath hitched.

Flashes of memories that weren't his own battered his mind: a swift attack in a rain of blood, a duel against a dimensional creature, the clink of Yamato slicing through space, and a pair of cold eyes staring at his opponent without a hint of emotion. All the experiences, all the feelings, and all… the silence of destruction, poured into him.

His body reflexively rose.

Unconsciously, his feet slowly stepped in front of the mirror. His gaze was blank, yet sharp. Then he raised his right hand and grasped Yamato's hilt.

"Czengg…"

The distinctive sound of a sword being drawn from its sheath echoed softly but deeply. The moonlight filtering through the window struck Yamato's blade, creating a silvery-blue reflection that reflected back on Kaito's face.

But that face… was different.

There was no smile. There was no surprise.

Just calm.

Cold. Elegant. Unwavering.

Then he slowly swung Yamato once through the air.

There was no aura. No explosion. But every movement... was too perfect. It was as if space itself was bowing to his slash.

Kaito closed his eyes for a moment.

In the darkness of his mind, he heard a voice... faint, almost an echo from the past.

"Power is everything... but control is what defines the one who wields it."

He opened his eyes again, and his gaze changed.

No longer like a young man just learning about power. But like an old warrior awakening from a long slumber.

"Vergil... you didn't just give me your power," he whispered softly, but his voice was deep and sharp.

"You gave me your way of seeing the world."

Yamato was returned to its sheath.

"Czingg…" the sound of swords locking sounded like the beginning of a new era.

Kaito stepped out onto the balcony, gazing at the shining city below. The night breeze blew through his white hair, and his eyes were clear, sharp, and empty of doubt, staring far ahead.

"With this, I have become the strongest person in the world... but I will remain hidden and carry out my plan according to what I had in mind from the beginning," Kaito said with a cold expression, but anyone who observed closely would see a faint smile on his face.

Very faint...
