As usual, Shishio woke up in the early morning, but this time it was different since someone was sleeping beside him. Looking at Shiina, who was sleeping so soundly on his arms, he couldn't bear to wake her up, but he knew that he needed to wake her up. Thinking of the place where he was living, he had to admit that there were many inconveniences when he was living in the dorm since there were a lot of people here.

Shishio looked at Shiina and tried to wake her up softly. "Mashiro, wake up."

"Hmm..." Shiina was like a cat and didn't want to wake up at all, only moved closer toward him, which made him helpless.

Shishio then could only carry her in his arms gently and decided to send her back to her room. Walking out of his room, he was about to send Shiina back to her room with very quiet steps, but he just happened to meet Ryuunosuke, who just happened to walk out from his room.

"....." Shishio and Ryuunosuke.

Ryuunosuke wiped his eyes several times, but when he opened his eyes again, he saw Shishio hugging Shiina on his arms had disappeared, which made her confused.

Shishio had a "Ninjutsu Mastery" anyway, so as long as he wanted to, it was quite easy for him to sneak around without anyone noticing. Using his phone, he quickly controlled the camera inside the dorm before he moved very fast toward Shiina's room quietly.

His steps were without any sound, and even when he opened Shiina's room, there was no sound at all. Even Shiina was still sleeping so soundly, hugging him like a koala. He then separated her gently from him, but when he did this, she opened her eyes.

"Shishio?" Shiina was still very sleepy and looked at him with a confused expression.

"Good morning, Mashiro," Shishio said.

"Good morning," Shiina said, then looked around with a confused expression, "Is this my room?"

"Um." Shishio nodded and said, "It'll be troublesome if you stay in my room all the time, just sleep here."

"Hmm..." Shiina didn't think too much and continued to sleep.

Shishio shook his head and put her to bed before he quickly walked away quietly and thought that "Ninjutsu Mastery" was stronger than he had thought since it seemed that Roberta didn't notice him.

Roberta was, after all, a professional soldier, and it could be said that she was the real-world terminator. Still, even with her skill, it was impossible to notice Shishio, who was using his "Ninjutsu Mastery," showing how amazing this ability was.

Shishio walked out of the girls' area and returned all the camera functions to normal before he prepared himself to work out while also checking the reward that he had received last night. He slept directly last night since he was very tired, not the body, but emotionally. However, it was different now since he was full of energy.

Shishio started his morning jog while checking his rewards and admitted that the two rewards he had received were amazing.

'63% shares of Sony and Auto-Pilot, huh?'

Shishio then, without hesitation, decided to accept the 63% shares of the Sony since it was an asset and he didn't need to feel uncomfortable by the sudden change in his body, but the moment he accepted his reward, he quickly became amazed since this reward was really the company that he had imagined on his mind, but at the same time, he had to sigh since he knew the development of this company was quite bad in the future since it was being left behind by a lot of electrical companies in the future and the real reason was because of the smartphone.

The reason why Shishio had thought to buy "Android" was because of the development of the smartphone in the future. Still, now, it was different since he owned 63% shares of Sony, which meant he was the majority shareholder. Therefore, he could develop his own smartphone. After all, Sony was an electrical company, and he also wanted to be the first one who developed the smartphone.

Shishio didn't want to be left behind by Apple. Rather, he would steal the march of Apple directly by creating an iPhone, especially with "Machinery Mastery" and "Programming Mastery," it was a simple matter for him to create a blueprint for iPhone.

Shishio also felt that the development of the iPhone on Sony would be several times better than Apple, after all, unlike Apple, which was a pure electronic company, Sony had a lot of entertainment media under its belt from music, movies, video games, etc., especially with this "Business Mastery," it was only a time before he created a behemoth.

Shishio could imagine the future of his company, so he didn't hesitate and decided to make his move since he knew that time would wait for no one, but before that, he needed to accept his other reward.

'Auto-Pilot...'

Somehow Shishio had an idea what kind of reward "Auto-Pilot" was, but he needed to check it first. The moment he accepted this reward, he somehow had to admit that this reward was amazing.

Auto-Pilot is an extraordinary reflex that is entirely involuntary.

Unlike other people, who used reflexes for defense, evasion, or retreat, Shishio could even use his reflexes to attack and counter.

Shishio described this ability as the "ability to put his brain on auto-pilot." Because his muscles fight without the use of his brain, this also made him free to strategize. He could flawlessly coordinate his movements, automatically achieving maximum efficiency in any action.

Because his body moved without the use of his brain, he was free to strategize and could dodge a wider variety of attacks, even in a weakened condition. The reflexes could enhance his physical speed to react faster than the eye could see, and since his body moved on reflex and not reaction, feints and illusionary techniques were useless against him. Even if he was sleeping, he was sure that he could dodge someone who would assassinate him.

Shishio had to admit that this ability was very powerful, but of course, this ability had a weakness, and that weakness was his own body. If his body couldn't keep up with his senses, he would still take hits, but such a thing was simply negligible, compared to the ability that was given by "Auto-Pilot," and he knew that he would be even more powerful in the future.

Shishio also thought that this ability was quite similar to One Piece's Kenbunshoku Haki or Samurai Deeper Kyo's Perimeter. Still, anyway, he didn't think too much of that now. He knew that once he combined this ability with his "Danger Intuition," then as long as someone had an ill-intent toward him, he would be able to detect it immediately. Somehow he had to admit that this ability might have entered the supernatural realm, but he wasn't going to complain.

Shishio then fastened his speed, then noticed the increase of his physical ability on his status, which surprised him. Still, he didn't think too much and greeted the beautiful young mother that he happened to meet along the way during his morning exercise.

---

It might be because Shishio woke up quite early and returned quite early from his workout that Sakurasou was still very quiet. He didn't think too much and entered the bathroom to take a bath while singing a random song. He was in quite a good mood since the emotional roller coaster that happened yesterday had ended.

Shishio had to admit that his mind and body couldn't relax when he was under the pressure of something which was known as a relationship. It was several times more tiring than any sport or fight that he had been.

'Fortunately...'

Shishio didn't waste his time, and after he took a bath, he went to the kitchen, prepared breakfast and a coffee.

Shishio wanted some caffeine before he went to the school, so he prepared a coffee for him and some other people who wanted to drink it, but this time, he didn't use his coffee machine but rather used the French press method.

There were many ways to prepare a coffee, but it couldn't be denied that the French press was one of the best ways. Unlike the drip method, it might be the most popular method to enjoy a coffee fully, but the filter of the drip, especially the paper one, might take out most of the flavor since it absorbed much of the oil in the coffee grounds. (After all, most flavors are coming from the fat, right? Ex: fried thigh chicken, that thigh part which is full of fat is the most delicious, right? Coffee is similar).

Meanwhile, the French press didn't soak up the flavor and added tiny bits of coffee ground in the coffee that percolated the flavor.

Shishio was preparing his coffee, but then he noticed someone had entered the dining room. He turned around and felt a bit surprised. "Oh? Ryuunosuke, it is rare for you to come out from your room. Do you want a coffee?"

"Thanks," Ryuunosuke said simply, then went to the fridge to take out a tomato before he ate it without hesitation. While eating, he observed Shishio, who was making a coffee with a smooth and precise movement that even he could tell that this guy was a master.

Even though Ryuunosuke might be a "shut-in," he still came out from his room, considering he needed to go to the toilet and kitchen to eat. Still, right now, he just simply wanted to use this chance to eat Shishio's food since its smell was quite unbearable for him, and staying in his room, he could only smell its delicious aroma, which made him hungrier.

Shishio didn't really want his coffee bitter, so he decided to create cafe au lait by mixing milk on his coffee after it was done. He then poured it on the cup and gave one of them to Ryuunosuke. "Here you go."

"Thanks." Ryuunosuke drank the cafe au lait and someone he felt very comfortable with. The fatigue on his body momentarily disappeared, and he just felt relaxed at that moment.

Shishio also drank his coffee before he said, "Say, why don't you give up, trying to hack my laptop? If you don't, then I'll enter your room forcefully, and destroy all the electronic devices in your room, then steal "Maid-chan" from you. Or should I send you directly to the mountain without any electricity or internet in the name of "Shut-in Education" for a year?" He looked at Ryuunosuke with a blank expression and said, "I'm not joking."

"....."

Ryuunosuke, who was eating his tomato, stuck directly and looked at Shishio with a dumbfounded expression.

In truth, both Shishio and Ryuunosuke had talked to each other very often, especially when Ryuunosuke tried to enter the information on his laptop, but was it so easy? The answer was obvious, right?

In return, Shishio directly hacked Ryuunosuke's laptop, erased all of his data, and even stole Maid-chan. Still, Ryuunosuke had never said anything, and after all of that, they often talked about programming-related matters. Sometimes, Ryuunosuke tried to attack Shishio's laptop, but everything was futile, which somehow made Ryuunosuke frustrated.

However, even though both of them often talked on the laptop, their meeting in real life was extremely small, which was why when Shishio met Ryuunosuke directly, he didn't hesitate to threaten him directly.

"I know..." Ryuunosuke was a bit dissatisfied, but he was also quite scared since he knew Shishio's identity. As the grandson general of JSDF, it was extremely easy for Shishio to send him on the mountain without electricity and internet in the name of "shut-in" education.

Shishio looked at Ryuunosuke and had to admit that this guy was really like a girl, especially when.... he didn't really want to explain and asked, "So what are you doing here? You must have something to talk about with me, right?"

Ryuunosuke looked at Shishio and nodded. "You know, Oga-kun. You're talented. Why do you have to waste your time on something like a woman and a love?" He had seen two girls come out from his room one after another last night, which made him a bit helpless, and if this guy had time to flirt with a girl, he felt that it was better to use it to hone his ability, that way, Shishio could use his time more efficiently.

"Oh? You think both a woman and a love are a waste of time?" Shishio asked.

"Isn't it obvious?" Ryuunosuke nodded and said, "Love is simply an electrical but in the human neural circuit."

Shishio knew that Ryuunosuke wasn't wrong, but he also didn't think that Ryuunosuke was right. He only smiled and said, "It's true. Love is a very troublesome feeling. My mind can't ever get things straight, and you lose control of knowing what is sensible, but even so, I don't think that it is a waste of time."

"...." Ryuunosuke.

"You have never felt it?" Shishio asked.

"No," Ryuunosuke said without hesitation.

Shishio raised his eyebrow and asked, "What about lust? Don't you ever think some girls are so sexy that you want to fuck them?"

Ryuunosuke looked at Shishio for a bit and shook his head. "No."

Shishio smiled and asked, "You like a guy?"

"....." Ryuunosuke's lips twitched and retorted. "Of course not!"

Shishio didn't change his expression much, cooking his food, and said, "Well, I won't say much about your view, but I won't follow your view either. In life, if you keep thinking about other people's opinions or views about you, you'll get tired, rather than waste your time on those kinds of useless things, isn't it better for you to spend your time on something else?"

"..."

Ryuunsuke looked at Shishio for a moment and asked, "What if someone tries to force you? What if that person doesn't give up to annoy you?"

"If that happens, then..." Shishio turned toward Ryuunosuke, then raised his middle finger and said, "Mind your own business, fucker!"

"...." Ryuunosuke.

"Easy, right?" Shishio said with a smile.

"....." Ryuunosuke.

Ryuunosuke stared at Shishio for a bit and nodded. "Um." It wasn't that he liked a guy, but he had a bad memory when his friends were shunning him because they recoiled at his "harsh" criticisms during a group project, which caused him to be wary of friendship, but it was different when he met someone who was more talented than him since that way, he wouldn't be afraid that person would hurt him and even though he didn't mind being alone, it was quite interesting to talk and learn under Shishio, and even when Shishio bullied him, it was still better than being ignored, which made wonder whether he was a masochist or not at this moment.

As for whether he liked a guy or not, Ryuunosuke wasn't sure, but he had a gynophobia, and even though he had never felt this with other guys, he felt comfortable with Shishio.

Ryuunosuke wanted to say something again, but...

"Shishio!!!"

Misaki quickly ran in excitement and wanted to hug him when she smelled his food, but Shishio stopped her. "I want to eat! I want to eat!"

"...."

Ryuunosuke stared at Misaki and thought that girl was really annoying.
