The next day, in the afternoon, at the hospital.
Kouro, who looked bandaged like a mummy, looked at Ayame, Mei, Kallen, Himeko, Kiana, Fu Hua, and Bronya, who were currently visiting him.
"Forgive us, Kouro! Because of us, you became like this." Ayame and Mei apologized to him while bowing their heads a few times.
Even though they didn't remember what happened last night, they realized that the wounds on Kouro's body were caused by them. After all, only the two of them had Herrscher's powers.
"…Um, it's fine. I do deserve this. By the way, do you remember what happened last night?" Kouro asked. He wanted to make sure that the embarrassing words he said last night were only heard by Herrscher Mei and Herrscher Ayame.
Ayame and Mei seem to have troubled expressions before shaking their heads, they only remember the activities they did before they passed out, like Mei playing a game with Bronya, and Ayame going to Kouro's house to... you know.
"Geez Kouro, you just got out of the hospital a few days ago and now you're back in again. Do you really like being hospitalized?" Himeko said in a joking tone.
"Ha ha ha." Kouro couldn't help but laugh dryly.
Seeing Kouro's state like that, Himeko couldn't help but sigh. "Huh... Too bad I fainted at that time too."
'Fainted?' Kouro's brows raised upon hearing this even though it wasn't visible because he was bandaged like a mummy.
'If I remember correctly, HImeko didn't faint at all yesterday, she was also the one who brought Bronya away to safety with Fu Hua... Wait! Fu Hua? Did she knock Himeko unconscious using Fenghuang Down?'
Kouro turned his head to look at Fu Hua with a question mark. Fu Hua who was being stared at as if she knew what was in Kouro's mind, nodded her head slightly.
Kiana turned to look at Bronya, "Hey Bronya! How long will it take for Kouro to fully recover?"
Previously, when she found Kouro was in such a pathetic state, she felt very scared, especially when Kouro gripped her hand tightly before dropping his hand stiffly, at that time she thought Kouro was dead, luckily Kallen could detect Kouro's vitals were still alive at that time so they immediately took him to the hospital.
"Bronya detects that Kouro's subject needs 1 full month to fully recover."
"Eh? Why did it take so long to heal?" Kiana surprised.
"That's because a mighty lightning bolt caused the wound on subject Kouro. It is a miracle that the subject of Kouro is still alive."
Just as Bronya said, Kouro's wounds caused by lightning especially those from Herrscher's power were very slow to heal. Kouro glanced at his status.
[HP : 6,345/24,400]
With his current regeneration ability, coupled with sleep which could greatly increase his regeneration ability it could only heal about a quarter of his total HP. Even though his 'Status Recovery' wound would heal instantly, that would only put him under suspicion.
After all, normal humans don't have healing factors like Kouro, even high-rank Valkyries don't have such healing factors like that unless they use Soulium.
Kouro then remembered something and asked them, "By the way what about Sin Mal? Did she manage to escape?"

Kallen was seen nodding her head before answering, "Yes, Theresa said that she had been taken away by the AE members."
Kallen seemed to put on a complicated expression after saying this, maybe because Theresa might be her granddaughter or maybe because she had met Otto though not in person. Moreover, she really didn't expect that Otto was still alive after 500+ years had passed, especially when she saw Otto's indifference towards one's life.
If Kouro knew what Kallen was thinking, he would probably pinch Kallen's cheeks while saying blamingly, "You know, Otto became like that because of you! He has gone mad and is even ready to willingly sacrifice the world just to revive you!"
But there was no way Kouro would say something cruel like that to Kallen.
So after a few minutes of talking to each other, they all left.
"We go first Kouro! I'll see you again tomorrow." Kiana said quickly before following Mei and the others out.
Kouro waved his hand to Kiana, his once crowded room was now quiet after their departure.
Now it's time to see the rewards from the previous Quest!
He opened his ability column there he saw his active ability column had a new ability so he looked at that ability.
[Dominator's Touch} Lv 1
SP required to activate : 0
The user can control an object without touching it. The weight and radius of the object that can be moved are proportional to the user's [Intelligence] status and ability level.
Kouro's eyes lit up, if it wasn't for his current body not recovering he would be screaming with joy. After all, this telekinesis-like power was extremely powerful and versatile. A simple example is when the enemy is walking leisurely. Then you use this ability to control several objects such as a car to hit the enemy to death so that it becomes an accident even though it is murder.
Kouro looked to his left where there was a small table with a plate of fruits on it.
Kouro moved his hand towards the apple on the plate and activated [Dominator's Touch].
Suddenly the apple flew into the air and then slowly entered his hand.
"Woah..." Kouro was mesmerized, knowing this was the first time he had a superpower that usually only exists in anime, movies, comics, and so on.
Usually, only a Herrcsher had powers related to the laws of physics or a special type of Honkai Beast. An example is Herrscher of Void who has the power of space and time and in one scene in the game, she is shown to have pullings humans without touching them.
"Wait if I have this power doesn't that mean I… am a Pseudo-Herrscher?" Kouro thought about this for a while before he quickly didn't think much of it, after all the power of the system can make what the impossible become possible.
Kouro then quickly experimented with the [Dominator's Touch] ability for a few minutes.
Right now in Kouro's room, there were various kinds of strange floating objects, if it wasn't for the fact that it was still afternoon, this scene might have become a little scary.
Looking at the floating objects, Kouro then thinking while eating the apples flying around his mouth.
"Hmm… I wonder if I can move a planet with this ability."
