Absolute Soul
14. Dating

Sunday is the most appropriate day to unwind refreshing from all activities for a full week. At least it is their assumption that the next day does not have a burden, take Haikal and Salvia as examples.

Both are currently walking in a shopping center in the city of Adele.

When making this request yesterday, Haikal certainly did not immediately agree. He racked his brain to find a way to reject the request, but everything was dismissed by Salvia with just one sentence that offended his offer that complied whatever his request was as long as it was not impossible.

"Salvia, are you sure this is your request? I can't guarantee your good name, you know," Haikal said, trying to cover his face with the hood of his jacket.

"What does this have to do with my good name?" Salvia looked at Haikal in confusion seeing the young man trying to avoid the surrounding eye gazes.

Salvia may not realize it, but Haikal clearly knows that Salvia Volksky is one of the most famous people in the city of Adele thanks to her soul force that recently shocked the world per-Blazer-an.

In addition to the strength of her soul, the beautiful and proportionate body of Salvia is so amazing that it is not inferior to the famous models in the world. No wonder if wherever he goes to a crowded place, the views of the surrounding residents will be centered on him.

Walking with someone like that alone has been very attention-grabbing, let alone dating him as experienced by Haikal.

Haikal can feel the view of many people like trying to strip him, it makes him restless. He is not the type of person who likes to be noticed by many people, so he feels uncomfortable walking alone with Salvia like this.

"Huh, it's free to try to resuscitate him about this," Haikal lamented inwardly as he sighed at Salvia's reaction as he expected.

In the end he gave up and set his heart on fulfilling a dating request from Salvia. Because this girl is not someone she can walk with every day, it does not matter if she enjoys this date.

The two stopped by at some typical places for dating such as arcade games, karaoke, bowling, as well as several others.

Right now they were stopping in front of a clothing store. It seems that Salvia is interested in the clothes that the shop is displaying, "Let's go in." He then took Haikal by the hand and dragged him inside without waiting for his approval.

"This girl's soul force is indeed powerful, but her physical strength is also above that of an average ordinary human." Haikal can only complain in his heart considering he does not want to mess up the date that was waiting for Salvia.

The reason Salvia asked Haikal for a date was not like love or anything else, it was just that he was curious about dating in the comics and novels he read. Because the story that was presented really attracted his heart, the longer he was curious about what was called the date.

When Haikal offers an apology, this opportunity certainly does not want him to miss.

While Salvia chose the clothes, Haikal stood still while folding his hands thinking about adding portions or the type of exercise routine in the future.

If he had not been able to awaken his Soul Arc until the Welcoming Tournament began, he could at least maximize his bare-handed fighting ability combined with his soul power. He thinks it's still quite appropriate to look at in a tournament.

"Haikal, which is better?" Tanya Salvia showed Haikal two clothes.

"Why ask me? Aren't you the one who wanted to wear it?" Haikal asked in confusion at Salvia's question.

"Haikal is insensitive" said Salvia, sounding unhappy with Haikal's reply.

"You have no right to say that" Haikal replied, not giving in.

The first garment, a white dress continued ten centimetres below the knee with short sleeves, as well as a small blue ribbon sewn under the collar. At first glance, this clothing looks like clothes commonly used on the beach because it looks thin, but actually not too.

The second outfit, a black five-centimeter over-the-knee, sleeveless forward dress with a slightly inflated subordinate style thin ballerina skirt decorated with bright red fringe adds to the bold and mysterious impression.

After a while, Haikal closed his eyes imagining Salvia wearing both clothes, "White dress will add elegance, while black dress may make a sexy impression."

"I think it's white" Haikal pointed to the white dress Salvia was holding.

The girl immediately went to the fitting room to give it a try, while Haikal sighed while shaking his head and muttering, "Dating has always been like this, huh?"

While waiting for Salvia to change clothes, Haikal looked at her student card and observed the soul force statistics.

"Eh? With such simple practice my stats can add up so quickly?" Haikal's eyes widened in disbelief at his own statistics.

It is true that physical training along with soul energy is capable of increasing soul power along with soul energy capacity, but this rapid increase is not a natural thing according to the general view.

"What books did I borrow from this library are valuable books that contain great techniques of the past?" The young man scratching his non-itchy head felt that the result of his training was too horrible, "It seems that I should train with twice my normal training portion alone."

He did not want to develop too quickly to the point of not realizing how far his development went, as it is today. If he didn't check his stats, it was possible that the exercises he did every day would destroy his body before feeling the results.

His main goal right now was to find and awaken his Soul Arc as quickly as possible to enter the Welcoming Tournament. Although the registration is still Monday tomorrow, it does not mean that he can leave. One month is not a long time for someone like him.

As Haikal daydreamed, Salvia's voice rang out from the fitting room breaking his concentration, "What do you think, Haikal?"

Salvia came out of the fitting room showing Haikal her new appearance in a white dress. The combination of her silver hair and the dress made her appeal increase greatly until some visitors and shopkeepers were amazed.

Haikal couldn't take his eyes off the girl for a few seconds, "If the straw hat plus would be more steady!" Inner Haikal grateful himself did not reject further about this invitation to date.

"Grammy?"

"A-ah, sorry sorry. You look so beautiful in that dress, what a wonderful blend," Haikal said, nodding slowly, closing his eyes, unable to see Salvia's appearance any longer because it was too beautiful to look at.

On the other hand, Salvia lowered her face that was as color as a ripe tomato, "Te-thank you."

"Why does being praised by men other than you feel like this?" Inner Salvia had no power to restrain her shame.

A few minutes later, the two realized and Salvia immediately paid for the clothes she wanted to buy, then out of the store left Haikal without saying a word to the young man, making Haikal shocked to death to see himself ignored.

"Did I say something wrong?" Haikal's mind panicked not knowing what was wrong and what to do now.
