After school in the afternoon, Shiina Mashiro wanted to draw in the activity room, so Sorata accompanied Aoyama Nanami to the music department to find Kamiigusa Misaki, who was composing music for her work.
Nothing particularly special happened in the following week or so. Life passed in various troublesome yet interesting trivialities. For example, waking Shiina Mashiro up in the morning, preparing her clothes, and letting her dress herself. Even washing her face no longer resulted in wet clothes under Sorata's daily guidance.
During the day, he still slept at school as usual, consuming a large amount of mental energy to deduce bloodlines. After school, he would return home and, while waiting for his mental energy to recover, be dragged by Shiina Mashiro to her room to discuss her manga.
Over the past few days, under Sorata's targeted guidance and constant revisions, Shiina Mashiro had made great progress. At least the manga she drew no longer made people feel like falling asleep at first glance.
As for the demons Rias and her group who had unexpectedly appeared at Suimei High, Sorata would only exchange simple greetings with them when they occasionally met at school, without any further contact. Sorata also felt that the other party seemed to have some concerns or plans, similar to his own, so both sides maintained a certain distance.
However, because Rias and Himejima Akeno were too beautiful and dazzling, especially their voluptuous figures that were too seductive for high school students, they quickly became more popular at Suimei High than Shiina Mashiro, who was also pretty but had an average figure.
Their Mysterious Research Club received many membership applications every day, but no one was ever heard to have passed the screening and joined, which only made the club more mysterious.
During this period, Sorata focused most of his attention on bloodline deduction and didn't pay much attention to the novel he had submitted earlier or his original manga plan.
However, the results were quite good. After spending a lot of mental energy on deduction and experimentation, Sorata extracted gene law information fragments from hundreds of physical-side transcendent bloodlines he knew, three of which could fuse with the Superman bloodline.
The abilities possessed by these three law fragments were the Blazing Fire Clan's Scorching Force, the Titanium Steel Giant's Titanium Body Defense Field, and the Mutant's Kinetic Energy Absorption and Conversion.
In Sorata's deduction, after fusing with the Scorching Force, it would allow Superman's already terrifying physical strength attacks to be accompanied by astonishing scorching attribute damage, capable of blasting both humans and ghosts into ashes with a single punch.
The Titanium Steel Giant's Titanium Body would fundamentally change Superman's body's cellular structure, so that even if he were one day subjected to a weakness like kryptonite that could deprive Superman of his abilities, the incredibly sturdy titanium body would stand there, and enemies wouldn't be able to harm him.
Moreover, the titanium body's unique ability to defend against various cosmic rays also possessed the characteristic of repelling all external attacks, whether tangible physical attacks or intangible extreme attribute energy ray attacks.
The final Mutant's cosmic energy absorption and conversion of kinetic energy would strengthen and change the Kryptonian's dependence on the sun, allowing Sorata in the future to maintain peak combat power even in places without sunlight by absorbing rays, kinetic energy, and the like.
These abilities were all specifically selected by Sorata to address Superman's weaknesses. Although he knew many stronger special abilities, the initial Kryptonian bloodline genes couldn't bear them. The opportunity to add these abilities would only come during the first bloodline transformation completion, the second bloodline leap evolution into Silver Superman, and the third leap evolution into the Golden Superman bloodline advancement.
However, these were all just Sorata's deductions. He wasn't 100% sure whether they would conflict or mutate with the Kryptonian bloodline after truly fusing into his body. At the same time, even if these abilities successfully fused, they wouldn't become heaven-defyingly strong all at once.
They would all be at the initial stage, just like the Kryptonian bloodline, evolving and strengthening over time, but the speed would be fast.
Originally, Sorata hadn't paid too much attention to strengthening his power, thinking that after having the Superman bloodline in the early stages, he could safely enjoy life.
After all, in his memory, the world where the Sakura Dormitory was located should be an ordinary society, and even if there was some extraordinary power, it wouldn't be worth mentioning.
But his encounter with Rias and the others that day, and the dragon that dispelled the rain clouds with its breath, made Sorata raise the danger level of this world to the level of gods and demons.
In his memory, Rias Gremory of High School DxD seemed to be the younger sister of the current Maou Lucifer. The appearance of the other party also meant that the Underworld, the Divine Realm, and Heaven in the High School DxD world also existed. Although he wasn't sure how strong these Maous and Gods were, or whether they were the same kind of mighty deities as in his memory, Sorata felt it was safer to improve his strength first.
"Almost there."
In the early morning, Sorata on the bed in the Sakura Dormitory slowly opened his eyes, the dense and mysterious phantom runes in his eyes slowly fading away. Today was Saturday, so there was no need to go to school. He also didn't need to wake Shiina Mashiro. So, after a simple tidying up, Sorata left the Sakura Dormitory as the sun set.
The Kryptonian bloodline in his body was about to completely transform, and his entire being would evolve into a transcendent life form, a Kryptonian, at the bloodline gene level. And at the moment of transformation completion, there would also be an adjustment and modification of the law imprints in the gene sequence chain.
He didn't know if there would be any unusual phenomena, so Sorata planned to find a quiet place where no one would disturb him.
Little Mai Mountain, over two hundred meters high and covering several miles, was a desolate mountain covered with dense trees and vegetation in the suburbs, far from the bustling urban area. By the time Sorata got off the bus by the roadside, walked into the forest, and arrived at the summit, it was already past ten o'clock in the morning.
Under the warm sunlight, the Kryptonian cells in Sorata's body became even more active. Standing quietly with his eyes closed, Sorata's mental power, which had grown to five times that of an ordinary person, enveloped his entire body as he silently waited for the moment when his blood would boil.
Just as Sorata was making preparations, in the editorial office of the online submission section of Dengeki Bunko's office building in the city, a sophisticated urban woman with black glasses was looking down at a printed manuscript. Half of the thick stack of manuscripts had already been read. The title on the cover of the manuscript read "Toradora!"
Knock knock!! A knock sounded on the door.
"Come in."
Wada Kyoko, the fair-looking editorial assistant, walked in holding a file.
"Kamimura Senpai, your application for the publication slot for next month has been approved. This A+ level contract has also been stamped with the company seal. It only needs the other party's signature to take effect."
"However, Senpai, aren't you paying too much attention to that author? Preparing to personally go and ask him to sign the contract? I think I could go instead."
"This publication slot was originally prepared by Editor Kagura from the Third Office for her author, Izumi Masamune, for his 'Reincarnated Silver Wolf.' Although it only sold over 200,000 copies, its performance in our publishing house is average."
"But if this 'Toradora!' novel sells poorly after publication, the comparison might have a big impact on you. After all, some of the company's higher-ups have always had objections to your insistence on opening an online submission section, just like Sanwa Bunko."
Kamimura Yuriko raised her head and smiled slightly. "Kyoko, you've thought very thoroughly, but this time I have confidence."
Looking down at the manuscript in her hand, Kamimura Yuriko exclaimed, "I've read this submission almost ten times. Although it's less than 100,000 words, the characterization of the characters that appear inside is full, and the delicate and engaging psychological descriptions are captivating."
"Moreover, the plot setting is completely different from the current mainstream. The male and female leads don't have any love at first sight. It's a rare masterpiece. I can faintly see the grand success of this series after its future release."
Kamimura Yuriko adjusted her glasses, a sharp and piercing gaze appearing in her eyes that suddenly made Wada Kyoko feel immense pressure. Her original sophisticated demeanor also changed, and she exuded the powerful aura of a strong career woman.
"Originally, we should have contacted this author last week, but to show our importance to him, we delayed until now. Notify the department to prepare the car. I will personally go and discuss the signing and publication with this author."
"Yes, Senpai."
