  • Chapter 118 : Is Seto-kun popular with girls? Or…

The next day.

[Alright, everything is ready. Let’s head to the entrance before Lady Nashia arrives.] (Satis)

[S-Sure.] (Seto)

[Is something wrong?] (Satis)

[No, it’s just that… I didn’t expect you to have an outfit like that, Satis.] (Seto)

She was wearing a ceremonial robe for mages, primarily purple.

Coupled with her different hairstyle as well, she almost looked like a female teacher at an academy.

Since they were about to visit an academy, the sight was quite a fresh experience for Seto.

Of course, Satis did not dress up to catch his attention, but when she noticed that Seto was captivated by her looks, she was secretly pleased.

[When I asked Lord Adams for permission to accompany you this morning, I suddenly remembered I had this robe. So I thought maybe wearing something like this wouldn’t be so bad. Besides, given the place and the people we’ll be dealing with, it seemed appropriate.] (Satis)

[……?] (Seto)

The night before, after hearing the story from Seto, Satis had woken up early and requested an audience with Adams, who was already engaged in his daily training. She quickly obtained his permission.

At first, he was quite reluctant, but thanks to Satis’s enthusiasm and her past contributions, he eventually allowed her to go to the academy.

And so, here they were now. However, considering the reactions she got back in Hopi Mesa, Satis had decided to change her usual attire, as it would have been far too provocative for students of that age.

The two left the room and walked to the entrance.

In front of the door, they saw two figures—Hydra and Gravis.

[Oh, good morning, you two. Huh? Satis, that outfit…] (Hydra)

[Good morning, Hydra, Gravis. Fufufu, what do you think of my clothes?] (Satis)

[Morning. Huh, I gotta say, you really can pull off any outfit, huh?] (Gravis)

Gravis stared intently, as if appraising her.

Neither she nor Hydra seemed to have dressed up for the occasion.

Then again, the same could be said for Seto as well.

[*Sigh*… Doesn’t anyone here care about dressing up? We’re about to visit the most prestigious magic academy, you know?] (Satis)

[Well, I mean, this is work. Besides, if something happens, it’s easier to move in these clothes.] (Hydra)

[I’m fine like this.] (Gravis)

[You could at least put on some more layers or something. The students are going to be shocked seeing you dressed like that.] (Satis)

[Aww, who cares? This place is full of rich kids, right? If I charm them enough, I bet I can get plenty of favors from them. Hehehe!] (Gravis)

[Not on my watch. If you try anything dishonorable, you’re not coming with us.] (Hydra)

[My oh my, you sure about that? And how do you intend to explain the remnants of the curse to Mr. Ciface then, Hydra? Hehehe!] (Gravis)

[Why you little…] (Hydra)

Since they couldn’t just leave behind Gravis, who had knowledge of curses, Hydra made a bitter expression, unable to argue.

As the adults continued their conversation, Seto absentmindedly glanced toward the stairs—just in time to see Nashia approaching.

She seemed rather shocked upon seeing the group of women.

Though her grandfather had told her they were Seto’s companions…

They’re all… incredibly beautiful… (Nashia)

Nashia stood frozen, staring at the three women.

At the same time, she started to wonder about their relationship with Seto.

[Ah, Lady Nashia. It is a pleasure to meet you. My name is Satis. I truly appreciate you granting permission for this boy to act as your escort yesterday.] (Satis)

[Y-Yes! The pleasure is mine!] (Nashia)

[Excuse me. My name is Hydra. I assume Lord Adams has already informed you, but I was once part of the Demon King Subjugation party led by the Hero Reid. Due to certain circumstances, I am now under the care of the Cryfano family. It is a pleasure to make your acquaintance.] (Hydra)

[Oh, um, yes! Likewise! I look forward to today!] (Nashia)

[Soooo, Lady Nashia! I’m Gravis Armitage, the woman who will one day become a hero. Nice to meet ya!] (Gravis)

Winking as she introduced herself, Gravis left Nashia momentarily stunned by both her figure and attire.

Still, Nashia managed to return the greeting before excusing herself and pulling Seto aside to talk privately.

[S-S-S-Seto-kun!] (Nashia)

[W-What?] (Seto)

[Those women… They’re your companions, right?] (Nashia)

[Yeah. They’re very important to me.] (Seto)

[O-Oh, is that so…?] (Nashia)

[What’s wrong?] (Seto)

[N-Nothing, it’s just…] (Nashia)

A younger boy surrounded by beautiful women.

She wasn’t unfamiliar with the concept of a harem, but at her age, seeing such a lineup inevitably stirred various—very, very mixed—thoughts in her mind.

—Does Seto-kun… like older women?

The mere thought made her face turn red.

Even though they had only met yesterday, Nashia had already developed an interest in Seto.

But she hadn’t expected to be thrown into a situation where other women were already involved, leaving her utterly flustered.

Of course, Seto himself was completely unaware of any of this.

More importantly, everyone had their own reasons for going to the academy.

Personal feelings had no place in their work.

[…What’s wrong?] (Seto)

[N-Nothing! Nothing at all, but… um…] (Nashia)

[Hm?] (Seto)

[That Gravis person… The way she dresses… Did you pick that out for her, Seto-kun?] (Nashia)

[Of course not. She’s been dressing like that since the day we met.] (Seto)

Seto blushed slightly, cleared his throat, and urged her to calm down.

He had no idea why she was asking something like that.

And he didn’t particularly feel the need to figure it out.

Nashia sure asks strange things all of a sudden… Did I do something? (Seto)

R-Right! Of course, Seto-kun wouldn’t… wouldn’t be the type to keep women around like that…! A-Although, I don’t really know him that well yet… Maybe he does think about that kind of thing…? Wait, what if he already has someone special…? No, no, what am I even thinking?! Why am I trying to analyze Seto-kun like this…? (Nashia)

Watching the two from a distance, Satis and Gravis exchanged a glance and gave a knowing nod.

[Ahh, I see. The young lady is a novice in these matters, huh?] (Gravis)

[Well, she’s at that age. It’s natural to start thinking along those lines. Even though Seto doesn’t seem to realize it himself.] (Satis)

[Ahaha, seriously! That’s so true!] (Gravis)

[Hey, don’t leave me out of the loop. What exactly are those two talking about?] (Hydra)

With her arms crossed, Hydra tilted her head slightly, a visible question mark practically floating above her head.

[Hydra, you’ll understand one day.] (Satis)

[Yeah, yeah. It’s a world still beyond a pure-hearted martial arts girl like you.] (Gravis)

[……?] (Hydra)

She still didn’t seem fully convinced, but for now, she nodded along.

Meanwhile, Nashia made up her mind to ask something she had been curious about.

[Can I ask you just one last thing?] (Nashia)

[What is it?] (Seto)

[Um… It’s just a little curiosity, but… Out of everyone here, is there someone you like the most? Someone who feels special to you?] (Nashia)

—What am I even asking?

Her subconscious expectations slipped out as a hidden message directed at Seto.

[Ah… Well, yeah. There is.] (Seto)

[Huh?] (Nashia)

[Someone who’s always been with me. We’ve traveled together for a long time. She told me that I was important to her. She introduced herself to you, right? Satis, I mean.] (Seto)

[…Oh, I see. So, you both like each other, right?] (Nashia)

[Y-Yeah.] (Seto)

[I see. Thanks for answering.] (Nashia)

[Hm? Sure.] (Seto)

Seto nodded, though he couldn’t shake the feeling that something was off about Nashia’s expression.

Just then, a servant quietly approached and informed them that if they didn’t leave soon, they would be late for the academy.

[Ah—Looks like we got caught up talking. Sorry, sorry. Alright, let’s go, Seto-kun!] (Nashia)

[Yeah, got it. Leave the escorting to me.] (Seto)

And so, the five of them set off for the academy.

Seto could sense it—each of their goals intertwining, all converging on a single point: Ciface.

Something big was about to begin.

    The mechanism mediating an AAS-induced improve in blood pressure is difficult to assess, and most evidence comes from in vitro and animal experiments.
    In particular, an affiliation between testosterone remedy and prostate
    most cancers was quickly drawn based on animal experiments
    and limited case research (81). Notably, the ventral prostate of the rat grew to become the model organ for androgenic activity in the famend Hershberger androgen bioassay, which was developed in 1953 (82).
    Whereas a severely flawed method, the bioassay remains in use right now, to
    some extent, in the quest for selective androgen receptor modulators (SARMs)
    (83, 84). It is difficult to estimate the prevalence of steroid misuse in the Usa because many national surveys that ask about drug
    use don’t include questions about steroids.
    Most of this use went undetected, however, because the expertise of drug testing didn’t permit dependable detection of AASs in the urine till the 1976 Olympic Games.
    Even so, anabolic steroids did not turn out to be a family word until Canadian sprinter, Ben Johnson, tested positive for AASs at the Seoul Olympic Games in 1988.
    In the identical 12 months, a study reported
    that 6.6 % of American male high school seniors had tried
    AASs. This examine made it clear that elite athletes weren’t the one ones takingthese medication.
    By 1991, AASs had been added by federal legislation to the listing of
    Schedule III of the Managed Substances Act.
    All the testosterone esters we come throughout are injectable, and the dosage you utilize will depend upon which ester it’s and what your goals are
    for your overall steroid cycle. Sustaining widespread sense hygiene and safety practices ensures you won’t be risking your health with any an infection when injecting steroids.
    Three massive meals a day is never the strategy
    of bodybuilders, whether on or off cycle. As A Substitute, splitting meals into
    portions unfold all through the day retains up your power
    with out weighing you down or inflicting fatigue before a workout.

    A persistent pharmacological improve in blood pressure – such as caused by AAS use – can be
    alleged to have the inverse effect. Male-pattern hair loss,
    or androgenetic alopecia, is an androgenic situation par
    excellence. In the 1940s, James Hamilton described how male-pattern baldness did not develop in castrated men unless
    they were administered testosterone (72). Similarly, it was later
    described that males born with 5?-reductase (the
    enzyme answerable for conversion of testosterone into DHT)
    deficiency by no means developed male-pattern hair loss either (73).
    Pharmaceutical treatment of male-pattern hair loss exploits this statement through inhibition of 5?-reductase kind 2 with
    finasteride (74).
    The two main organs to assist and look after while on cycle are the kidneys and the liver.
    These shall be placed beneath nice stress, and whereas the liver is quite sturdy and may get well beneath, the kidneys is not going to.

    Milk Thistle, Citrus Bergamot, TUDCA, IP6, and Vitamin B’s can all
    be extremely beneficial to organ health. Make certain that you are confident that what you’re buying is the actual steroid that you just think it’s.
    The steroid market is notorious for pumping all kinds of crazy compounds
    into bottles after which labeling them as one thing utterly completely different.

    Thus, after discontinuing Dianabol, liver enzyme values are prone to drop back right down to
    normal. Nevertheless, liver failure remains a chance with Dianabol and different hepatotoxic
    steroids. Thus, it’d be wise to keep Dianabol cycles brief (4-6 weeks),
    minimizing injury to this important organ.
    The only draw back that we see with Winstrol, in regard to physique composition, is that it might possibly
    sometimes deflate the muscle tissue as a result of its decreasing
    glycogen levels. This may be attributed to its diuretic properties, attributable to a lack
    of aromatase enzyme, resulting in much less intracellular fluid.

    Trenbolone could have a drastic impact on blood lipids,
    causing an increase in coronary heart hypertrophy (size), leading to the next chance of atherosclerosis.
    We discover that testosterone is often the first steroid
    a bodybuilder will take due to its mild nature and security
    (in terms of facet effects).
    Individuals ought to consult with medical professionals before contemplating TRT.

    A thorough analysis is important to find out if TRT is suitable.
    Signs of low testosterone should be assessed alongside blood exams.
    Beyond the quick psychological results, Dr. Israetel factors to
    a concerning decline in cognitive operate whereas utilizing steroids.
    He observes, “One Other one is a marked proximate reduction of IQ. Like proper now, as I talk to you, I Am on contest prep.” This cognitive
    impairment can significantly influence daily life and decision-making.

    Our professional staff, including an exercise scientist with over 20 years of
    expertise, has fastidiously analyzed this crucial subject.

    We have handled superior steroid users taking dosages as high as 100 mg/day
    and working Anadrol cycles for up to eight weeks.
    Surprisingly, men’s physique athletes cycle Anadrol briefly before a
    contest to significantly enhance muscle fullness. We discover that they
    preserve maximum definition by adopting a low-sodium food plan, which effectively
    prevents extracellular fluid retention. The mixture of excessive
    estrogen levels and sodium-rich diets is what causes bloating.
