The Ultimate Support Character

After training for almost a whole day inside the Pocket Dimension, the size of the invisible container inside me grew by half its size. Now I can store enough energy for six Psyche Boosts.

Yuko waited for me in the Principal's Office and told me she will spend the night with me in my dorm room. Of course, nothing will happen yet. She just wanted to help me arrange my things and to cook for me again.

While eating dinner, she told me some things about her being the Hero. Unlike me who got cut off from the World Energy, she still has a connection to that world and through that connection, she can channel it to replenish her World Energy. Which means, all her Skills, Spells or Blessings that were integrated into her system were all usable here.

Such a cheat, right?

She can use everything while I can only use it until my stored World Energy is depleted.

"Dai-kun, do you want to try if you can use my channeled World Energy?"

After eating, we moved to my bed. Well, I don't have any chairs or sofa we can sit on. This will also be my first time sleeping in this bed and I'll be sleeping with this beautiful fiance of mine.

Yesterday, it was on her bed so I don't think this as bad now. We're just cuddling anyway. And it seems her father doesn't mind. He even wants me to also call him as Father.

Of course, there's that temptation to make a move on her but I have to put that off until I can really stand as equals with Yuko.

"How can I use it?"

We're currently lying down on the bed, I'm hugging her with her back turned to me. My hand rested on her navel with her hand on top of it. No matter how one looks at it we're more than just a couple now. Hugging her like this already feels natural.

​ Back in the World of System, we also did this when we were at the Western Border. Zerina was in a bad mood the next day after that.

"You said you can store the energies inside you, right?"

Yuko turned her head to ask me.

"Yes. But it's currently full. I'm trying to conserve it because there's no way I can refill lost World Energy."

"Try shooting that Air Bullet of yours, it doesn't use a lot of World Energy, right?"

If it's Air Bullet then it will only use a little. I guess it's fine.

"Yes. But where?"

"Here at my hand."

Yuko raised her smooth and lovely hand. Just by looking at it, you wouldn't think it's tough enough to punch through a wall or be immune from trivial damages. Her Endurance is 30, just how tough is her body?

"Ah. Right, Hero won't be able to get hurt from my Spell."

"Don't be silly. You'll soon bridge that gap between us. I felt the change you had. You're at least 3 or 4 times stronger from before all this.

Even without me telling her, she can gauge the change in me. This girl…

"Nothing can escape your eyes, Yuko."

"If it's about you, I'm always watching."

She keeps on making me feel special for her. Ever since she dropped her act in front of me, she always shows me her true nature. Such a lovely girl, I currently don't deserve her but I don't want to admit it.

"You're making me blush again."

"I love seeing that Dai-kun. Now try it."

Yuko giggled at it. Now she's the one teasing me and not the other way around.

"Alright."

I focused on the container inside me and channeled the World Energy, with a thought an Air Bullet was shot on her hand at point-blank range.

I looked at her expression at the same time, her eyebrows twitched a bit but that's it. No other reaction. When I looked at her hand, there's a red mark on it.

I immediately panicked. It's not that she wouldn't be hurt, she still felt it because of the close range where it was fired.

"You don't have to look that worried, Dai-kun. That red mark will soon vanish."

"But it still hurt you."

She turned around and touched my face.

"It's really fine. And seeing this worried look on you, I guess I did this rashly. I won't do it again, I promise."

"I'll hold you up on that promise. I don't want to see you hurt, Yuko. Especially if it's me who did it."

Fighting her enemies as the Hero, there's no way she won't get hurt, I have no control over that but if it's me who inflicted that, I can't take it.

"You really cared for me. I love you, Dai-kun."

"Of course, no matter how strong you are currently, I'll still worry if you get hurt."

Hearing that, Yuko reached in for a kiss.

And at the same time, I felt a form of energy being poured into me through the kiss.

This…

Her World Energy?

She's pouring it in through this kiss.

I responded to her kiss. Not letting her do everything. Then the World Energy that was being poured was being sucked in by the container, filling up the space made by firing that Air Bullet.

It works. Even without going back to that world, Yuko can replenish my World Energy.

After the kiss, she looked at my eyes, expecting my reaction.

"Uhm. I love that kiss, Yuko."

"Now you're the one teasing me, Dai-kun."

She blushed profusely which made her more beautiful. Ah. I got my revenge from her teasing.

I smiled at her and gave her another kiss.

"It works Yuko, the World Energy I used got refilled."

"Then that's great. Actually, I can pass it by just being in contact with you. Kissing you is me trying to take advantage of it."

"You… I don't hate it. If I can kiss you then it bested the purpose."

"You're becoming bolder, Dai-kun."

The night became sweeter for us again. The kisses continued but we never went further than that. Well, it went up a bit because we started using our tongues for our kisses.

It's still early for the real thing. I don't want to betray Yuko's trust and even her Father's. We'll arrive there soon, just following the order of things.

After confirming that I can replenish it with her, she told me that it's only possible because of my Adaptability. If any of the heroes discharged a pure inherent energy of their Otherworld, it will just be dispersed by the atmosphere, like it was being rejected by Earth.

The next day arrived and for the first time, I will go to class as a High School Student. Yes, we're still taking classes. This time most of the other heroes' eyes were trained on me but no one came forward to initiate a greeting.

Well, it's fine. Yuko stuck to my side to keep me comfortable.

After the lunch break, I once again went to the Pocket Dimension to continue my training.

Sometimes Yuko will join me inside, the Heroes also train their ability inside it but since it's already 3 years, most of them were discouraged by the slow progress. Only some of them were still diligently training to enhance their own abilities.

After training, Yuko and I were always together that the other Heroes already noticed our closeness. She still acted a bit strict as the Class President but with me, she's the same Yuko who loves me.

Sometimes I will sleep with her or she will sleep with me. We're like a married couple already.

And with that schedule, 5 days passed by in a blink.

It's Saturday again and the time to go with Takahashi Raiden's world came. I couldn't say my training was fruitful but every progress I made, I took it as an improvement, no matter how small.

"There you are. The Principal told me to brief you about my Ability and the Otherworld I'm being summoned to."

Takahashi went straight to the point when I arrived at the Principal's Office.

"Thanks. I'll do everything to provide you with enough support."

"I heard about your Ability and I'm looking forward to that Psyche Boost. I'll become more invincible with it."

"I'm glad it can help you, Takahashi-san."

"Ah. Raiden is fine Kuramoto-san. Please, sit."

He's being friendly again. I guess it's not bad if he continues like this. I sat like he wanted and he started talking about his ability.

He called it Temporal Acceleration.

Yes, it falls under Time Control but his ability can only be used to accelerate the time for him or anyone he used the ability on. Well, of course, he only uses it for himself. But that ability proved to be scary.

He's like those superheroes with super speed though his is a bit different since it falls under the Time Control category. I could name some of them who have exactly the same ability as him, especially from those comic books.

One downside for his ability is it has a limitation. Like Yuko and the Principal's ability, it is fueled by Psyche Energy. And each time he used it, he could only speed up his time to 32 times and it only lasted for 1 second. It could be improved but a lot of time has already passed since it reached 32 times his speed.

1 second will become 32 seconds for him. That's enough to defeat his opponent, right? But the cooldown to use his ability again is huge; 10 minutes. So during that 10 minutes, he can only rely on his own prowess. That's where the inherent energy of that Otherworld helped him.

He called that Otherworld as the World of Barbarians. The denizens of that world still live in a backward civilization where tribes blotted the land. The inherent energy in it is called Brute Energy. The Barbarians found the use of that energy to increase their strength.

They nourish their body through the use of that energy by taking it in. They invented several methods but the general term they are using is Physique Cultivation.

Raiden told me that currently, he's a Chieftain of a Tribe. Unlike Yuko's Otherworld, the barbarians, that's how Raiden called them, don't have any unity. They only bowed to the strong. And if one is strong enough, he can even start up his own tribe.

During his three years in that world where the Invading World started their attacks, he was only exposed to them on a few occasions. The barbarians still fight among themselves despite the threat of the Invading World.

Such a troublesome world eh?

That's why Raiden aimed to unify them under his own tribe he built. That's where I will enter. I will support him to unify all the tribes under him to drive away the Invading World.

After all the explaining, a portal almost similar to the portal before appeared at the center of the Principal's Office.

Seeing that, Raiden stood up.

"It's time, Daisuke."

I nodded and stood up as well.

Then the door to the Principal's Office opened, Yuko and the Principal appeared from it.

They're sending us off.

"Takahashi. Dai-kun isn't just an ordinary support. Let him do things by himself and don't order him. That way he can help you better."

"She's telling the truth Takahashi-kun. Let him move on his own."

Yuko and her Father reminded him. I don't know if he will heed it but he just nodded at them.

"Yuko, I'll come back stronger."

"Yes. I'll be waiting for you."

After we said our farewells and reminders. Raiden and I stepped inside the portal.

And like I thought, my vision was immediately filled with whiteness.

Time to support another Hero and see another world.

World of Barbarians? I'll still aim for that 15 times stronger. That's about half as Yuko's current strength.

[Ding! You entered another world. World of Barbarians]

[Hero's Party buff was removed]

[Received +2 Strength, + 1 Endurance as World Bonus]

[Will expire upon leaving the world]

[Detected a new type of Energy]

[Listed as Brute Energy]

[Automatic Accumulation Started]

[Physique Cultivation generated]

[Current Realm: Pre-Mortal Realm 0%]

A series of system messages rang out inside my mind. And when my vision started gaining color again, I was met by a group of people, kneeling in front of us.

They all shouted at the same time.

"Welcome back Lightning Chieftain!"
