Stiffening, the girl in front of him wanted to throw a fit, but she calmed herself down in a matter of seconds as she said
"I can wear whatever I want!"
Nodding his head, Jason had to acknowledge that this was certainly true, yet, upon inspecting her mana, he immediately figured out why she wore such clothes.
Her transmuted mana looked exactly like the hue he perceived around Antalia Sharon, the Rank-4 alchemist when he first met her at the basic artisan exam.
'An affinity that has something to do with seduction or lust?' He aksed himself and it was certainly interesting how many affinities existed, and it would have been a lie if he were to say that he was not interested in figuring out more about her affinity or rather all rare affinities because he wanted to know which affinity he should try to obtain next.
Thinking about the voluptuous girl's affinity, he continued to stare at her, which was noticed by almost everyone who looked at his fight which included the broadcast throughout Astrix island.
In only a few seconds, he turned to Astrix's pervert, without him knowing.
'Is this affinity based on the scent, hormones, or a simple kind of mind control?' Jason started to wonder as he finally heard the AI, that initiated the start of their fight.
However, rather than doing anything special, he just unsheathed his daggers slowly while looking at his opponent in order to figure out what she would do with her affinity as it could hardly be used to attack him directly.

It was obvious that she contracted a beast with an affinity due to her transmuted mana which also indicated a physical amplification from her soul world that was lower compared to non-elemental beasts that were contracted by pure physical soul worlds.
Estimating her physical strength to be at most on par with a peak 2nd Expert which was already a generous assumption, Jason would still be stronger.
However, what he had to pay attention to was her affinity and that he shouldn't neglect it as it could become the reason for his defeat.
Carefully inspecting what the girl in front of him did, Jason remained motionless as he continued to stare at her intently.
From the surrounding he was called all kinds of naughty names and portrayed as something evil, while even Malia frowned, killing him inside her mind when she noticed that his eyes were fully focused and not filled with lust.
Sighing in relief, she took back the bad words she called him in her mind, as she focused on the fight once again.
The voluptuous girl in front of Jason smiled at his reaction or rather that his eyes followed her every move intently as she released her seduction affinity in a wide radius around him while trying to maintain her mana consumption.
If she were to extend her seduction affinity too far, her mana consumption would skyrocket and a good radius was between five to ten meters around her, which she did, and it was only when she approached Jason, he figured out what exactly her seduction affinity could do.
window.pubfuturetag = window.pubfuturetag || [];window.pubfuturetag.push({unit: "64cc9e79c7059f003e4ad4b0", id: "pf-5109-1"})'Soo my hormones are in disarray while my thoughts will be constantly drawn to her?' He comprehended, and if he were to be honest, this ability was extremely powerful if used correctly with a slightly stronger effect.
However, someone with a strong will or an affinity to work counter hers would immediately leave his opponent unguarded and unaware of how to defend against her attackers, which Jason noticed by her crude movement.
Yet, rather than doing anything against her approach, Jason awaited her as he wanted to figure out if his hormones and wild thoughts would intensify the closer she came, which happened exactly as he predicted.
Inwardly nodding his head, he couldn't really estimate how powerful this affinity might become in the future if correctly used, and maybe it would even improve further.
Unfortunately for the voluptuous girl was, however not someone extremely proficient with her affinity yet, and Jason could easily disregard his desire and wild thoughts as his golden eyes shone lightly, dispelling everything.
Even without this ability, he was sure to be able to cope with the voluptuous girls' mind-controlling affinity that was intertwined with hormones, as she was not proficient in using it perfectly.
Waiting for the girl to arrive two meters in front of him, Jason only saw that she unsheathed a small dagger, which she wanted to use to pierce at him to win as he suddenly exerted his weightless steps technique, accelerating towards her, only to pierce out with his Viridi-Starstream daggers, overwhelming the shocked girl, he unintentionally threw to the ground.
[Victory, Jason Stella] the AI announced, with the surrounding youths and parents looking at him dumbfounded, while a few citizens who watched his fight over the live broadcast were astonished about his sudden movement after acting as if he was bewitched by his opponent.
Looking at the girl, he held out his hand in order to help her up, as he said
window.pubfuturetag = window.pubfuturetag || [];window.pubfuturetag.push({unit: "663633fa8ebf7442f0652b33", id: "pf-8817-1"})"Don't rely too much on your affinity, there are still many flaws in it, and it's easy to leave the bewitched state…"
After he helped the girl up, he turned around to walk towards the Fler's who greeted him cheerfully, while Greg could only shake his head because Jason defeated one of the main Vanguard school's most powerful affinity users just like that.
It was extremely difficult to leave her seduction once enveloped and infiltrated by it, but Jason looked like he was completely unaffected, defeating her as if she was a middle-schooler, which was annoying.
Sighing deeply, Greg couldn't help but feel more excited and restless to fight Jason with his whole strength.
Once Jason was done, the Fler's drove home and spend their time together because Malia's fight would be at the end of the day and after a few hours, they ate lunch together before Jason practiced his Heaven's Hell technique.
With his high increase in soul energy after each practice, he couldn't help but feel satisfied with the Heaven's Hell technique as he walked back to the Fler's who similarly practiced the Heaven's Hell technique.
Playing games, Jason used this time to improve his multitasking ability as he utilized his three affinities at once, played the game, and tried to circulate mana through his body at once, which caused him to sweat heavily.
Seeing Jason's efforts to become stronger even while playing games, Gabriella and Mark couldn't help but sigh deeply, as the youth in front of them seemed to be unable to relax even a tiny bit.
However, now even Malia changed her attitude and used both her affinities while circulating mana at the same time and additionally she even manifested a fire and water ball which she shaped into all kinds of forms, which Jason couldn't do.
Even if his mana sensitivity and control were high enough, multitasking was still something relatively new to him and he would need some time to manifest his three affinities, shape them while circulating mana through his body and do something else at the same time.
In the end, he was not far from Malia's standard in multitasking which bothered her, because she practiced extremely hard in order to achieve this after multiple years.
Furthermore, she focused on this field of expertise during her combat.
Jason however, looked like a natural, who could do everything without much problem, even if seemed to walk one of the most difficult paths for his combat expertise.
From the Fler's perspective, Jason wanted to become someone who was capable of wielding multiple weapons and at the same time all affinities, which was definitely over the top and it was questionable if it was even useful to learn multiple weapons, as his dagger mastery was already extremely high.
Comparing Greg and Malia with Jason, it was obvious who worked the hardest in order to improve, as Jason turned from a nobody in Artes city to someone who was able to defeat the most powerful first-years in the best schools on Astrix within half a year.
His talent was also superior to anyone the Fler's ever saw and it was only a matter of time for great personalities like a Beast-Creator to set his eyes on him.
Even if it was sad to know that Jason would leave them soon, Gabriella and Mark were happy also for him.
In the evening, when it was time for Malia's fight, the five of them drove towards the arena, and cheering Malia up, she won her fight against a wind ability user, that at the 1st Master rank.
Using her wand in order to defend herself with her water affinity and attack with fireballs, spears, and waterjets, she overwhelmed her opponent without much problems, who could only lament inwardly.
After what happened to Jason in the four-star rift, she focused more on her own strength as she noticed that her combat experience and prowess were too shallow which led her to improve by leaps and bounds over the last few weeks.
Jason meanwhile couldn't help but praise Malia when she returned which caused her to smile brightly before they returned back to the house where they talked about their fights and who they should be careful of.
