Chapter 12 - Chapter 11: Awakening and Potential

Kanzaki Kenzo stood over Yuji Itadori, his hand glowing with a faint, otherworldly light.

[Entry granted successfully. Click to view the target panel.]

[Yuji Itadori]

[Race: Human]

[Strength: level 2]

[Entries: Swift Stride (Common), Slashing Technique (Rare), Poison Immunity (Rare), Calm Athlete (Epic)]

[Slashing Technique (Rare): Consumes a certain amount of energy to launch a slashing attack. The more energy consumed, the more slashes there are and the greater the power.]

[Poison Immunity (Rare): Highly resistant to all kinds of toxins, and improves resistance to curses to a certain extent.]

Yuji's eyes widened in astonishment. "Kanzaki, you're incredible! I thought you were just joking about unlocking potential, but this is real!"

Kanzaki smirked. "I never joke about power."

Yuji examined his newfound abilities. "This slashing technique consumes a lot of energy. Is there a way to reduce the consumption?"

Kanzaki observed the multiple slashes forming around Yuji. "Interesting. It seems the entry has synergized with your innate abilities."

Yuji tilted his head. "What do you mean?"

Kanzaki pondered. "Perhaps granting an entry can also awaken other latent abilities within the recipient."

Yuji grinned. "That's amazing! So, what's next?"

Kanzaki shrugged. "Figure it out yourself. I'm not your babysitter."

Yuji laughed. "You're so heartless! Aren't we friends?"

Kanzaki turned away. "I'm busy. I don't have time to train you every day."

Yuji pulled out his phone. "Fine, then I'll ask Mr. Gojo. He seems knowledgeable."

Kanzaki paused. "Gojo?"

Yuji nodded. "The man with the blindfold. He explained a lot about cursed spirits to me. We exchanged contact info and talked last night. He's really helpful."

Kanzaki considered this. "If he asks how you awakened, tell him it happened naturally. Don't mention me."

Yuji gave a thumbs-up. "Got it! My lips are sealed."

Kanzaki nodded and departed, heading towards the Occult Research Club.

Upon arrival, he found Rias Gremory and her team already assembled. After the usual greetings, Kanzaki moved towards the newly established training area.

Rias called out to him. "Kanzaki, I've arranged for a new instructor for you."

Kanzaki raised an eyebrow. "A new instructor?"

Rias nodded. "Yes. To improve your situational awareness and adaptability in unexpected scenarios."

Kanzaki considered this. "Makes sense."

He then added, "By the way, I've developed a new ability that can help individuals unlock their potential. Would you like to try it?"

Rias looked intrigued. "A new ability?"

Kanzaki nodded. "Yes. It's quite effective."

Rias smiled. "Sounds interesting. Let's give it a shot."

Kanzaki accessed his entry repository and selected an appropriate attribute.

[Body Contraction (Common): Consume a certain amount of magic power to change your body size, up to 50% larger or 50% smaller.]

He placed his hand atop Rias's head.

Suddenly, a surge of crimson energy erupted from Rias, accompanied by a powerful shockwave.

Kanzaki observed the phenomenon. "It appears my hypothesis was correct."

He examined Rias's updated panel.

[Rias Gremory]

[Race: Devil]

[Strength: level 3]

[Entries: Body Contraction (Common), Pure-Blooded Devil (Epic), Destruction Magic (Legendary), Fortune Gathering (Legendary), Crimson-Haired Ruin Princess (Legendary)]

[Pure-Blooded Devil (Epic): Devil blood contains immense potential, enhancing magic recovery speed by 100% and training efficiency by 300%.]

[Fortune Gathering (Legendary): Blessed by the world, significantly increases luck, making favorable events more likely.]

[Crimson-Haired Ruin Princess (Legendary): Greatly amplifies magic capacity and quality, and suppresses enemy recovery after inflicting damage.]

Kanzaki noted the impressive array of entries. "Excluding the body contraction, Rias's original entries are one epic and three legendary. Quite the powerhouse."

Rias opened her eyes, excitement evident. "Kanzaki, your ability is incredible. My magic power has expanded significantly."

She activated her new ability, shrinking her body. In moments, a petite version of Rias stood before Kanzaki.

"How do I look?"

Kanzaki gave a thumbs-up. "Adorable. I like it."

Rias blushed. "I'm glad you think so."

She reverted to her original form.

Akeno Himejima approached, having noticed the commotion. "President, are you blushing?"

Rias composed herself. "Just adjusting to the new ability."

Kanzaki turned to Akeno. "Would you like to try my new ability?"

Akeno smiled. "Of course. I'd never miss a chance to grow stronger. But won't it strain you to use it repeatedly?"

Kanzaki shook his head. "It's manageable."

He proceeded to grant entries to Akeno, Kiba Yuuto, and Koneko Toujou. Each experienced a significant boost in their abilities.

However, Koneko appeared troubled.

Kanzaki approached her. "Is something wrong?"

Koneko hesitated. "The bloodline has been fully activated."
