Arc 4: Experience the Story - 2
I open my eyes to see its Ghost floating too close, just inches away from my face, almost touching the tip of my nose.
"What do you want? I was trying to sleep." I grunt at the Ghost, my voice low and irritated. It hovers silently, unfazed by my annoyance, before projecting a holographic screen in front of me. The message flickers to life, its glowing text illuminating as it waits patiently for my attention.
Greetings, Sho Jin. It is I, the Boss. You have successfully survived the early trials of high school and, more importantly, managed to keep Ruby Rose and Weiss Schnee alive. As a reward, you've been promoted and granted a third identity, along with a bonus cheat. You are now The Secret of the Eldritch pantheon, and with this new role, you've gained the power of Secret Arts—an array of abilities focused on concealment.
Continue your good work in protecting Ruby Rose and Weiss Schnee. Be prepared, for there will be times when you'll need to guide and protect more newcomers who will join the Eldritch Pantheon.
P.S. I've received complaints about your behavior, which is likely influenced by Nyarla and the others. As a result, until you become strong enough, you will no longer be able to interact with them. This restriction applies to everyone except Ruby Rose, Weiss Schnee, and any members from other pantheons who temporarily join you along with any new recruits to the Eldritch panthon, as I deem fit. Focus on your growth, and when the time is right, you may reconnect with them.
As soon as I finished reading, Ghost vanished, leaving me alone with the knowledge that the Secret Arts had been forcibly integrated into my very being. Almost immediately, I could feel the Secret Arts stirring within me, as if 'looking around' and assessing its new surroundings. Then, without warning, it unleashed a series of 'punches' at the other cheats nearby, catching them off guard and knocking nearly all of them out with the unexpected assault.
