I'm Strong But Only If I Stay Lewd
Chapter 63: Wow, Even Naoya Got Powers?
Then Kitagawa Nagumo, the cool guy who rarely spoke, stepped forward.
He was tall and noticeably muscular, with a calm, laid-back demeanor that made him seem uninterested in most things.
Without saying much, he simply walked over to a heavy metal cabinet in the corner of the club room.
With one hand, he gripped the side of the large cabinet — easily weighing several hundred kilograms — and lifted it smoothly off the ground as if it were made of cardboard.
He held it high above his head for several seconds before gently setting it back down without a sound.
He then crouched slightly and leaped upward in one powerful motion, easily touching the high ceiling of the club room with his fingertips before landing back on his feet with perfect balance.
His super strength allowed him to jump incredibly high and lift extremely heavy objects with ease.
The demonstration was quiet, efficient, and spoke for itself.
Next, Oka Hinata explained her own ability.
She was a petite girl with sharp, intelligent eyes and a confident posture.
She pointed toward the far wall of the club room and focused.
Her eyes glowed faintly with a soft golden light as she described how she could see from very far distances with crystal clarity.
She could also see perfectly in complete darkness.
Most impressively, she had the ability to see through solid objects — walls, bags, doors, even thick concrete — as if they were transparent, much like an advanced x-ray vision.
To demonstrate, she looked straight at a closed locker across the room and calmly listed everything inside it, including the exact color of a hidden notebook and the brand of a water bottle.
She also mentioned that she knew various magic spells and was quite skilled in close-quarters combat, often summoning weapons directly into her hands when needed.
Her voice was steady and matter-of-fact as she explained her versatile set of abilities.
Then Yamada Naoya explained his powers.
He was usually cheerful and easygoing, but when he spoke about his ability, his expression became focused. His power allowed him to control plants and weeds with incredible precision.
He could make them grow rapidly from nowhere, shaping them into weapons or tools during fights.
Vines could shoot out to tie up and capture opponents, roots could burst from the ground to trip enemies, and he could even create massive sunflowers that blasted powerful energy beams at targets.
He could also hide himself underground, where the plants would supply him with oxygen through their roots.
Additionally, he could command plants to lift extremely heavy objects, such as cars or large debris.
To demonstrate, Naoya crouched and placed his palm flat on the floor.
Immediately, thick green vines erupted from the ground with a rustling sound, growing at an astonishing speed. They twisted and climbed upward like living ropes until they reached the ceiling of the club room, wrapping around the light fixtures and creating a dense, leafy network that filled half the space.
The vines swayed gently, strong and flexible, clearly capable of restraining or attacking anyone Naoya wished.
Rin was like "Wow, even Naoya got powers?" He acted genuinely surprised, his eyes widening as he stared at the towering vines.
Due to Naoya’s natural talent for concealing his powers, even Rin hadn’t known about this ability despite having spent time walking around with him before.
This was the only reaction from Rin that wasn’t entirely faked — he truly hadn’t detected Naoya’s plant control until now.
In truth, Rin already knew about everyone else’s powers from his very first encounters with them.
He had simply chosen to act surprised and clueless the entire time.
Only his surprise toward Naoya was real.
With all the demonstrations finished, the club room fell into a brief, heavy silence.
Hanako then looked at Rin and said, "So these are all our abilities." She paused, studying his face carefully before continuing, "Well, after trying to use my ability on you but it didn’t work...
it means you’re probably one of those rare humans that supernatural abilities don’t work on."
Then she turned toward Dracula and added, "Dracula seems smart, so he can tag along on our operations."
With the information they had gathered, the spider-like monster suspected to be Jorogumo had been moving around the area near Seishin Academy — the prestigious high school that Chiyo attends — and was also known to infiltrate the school building sometimes at night.
The group began planning how they would approach the situation.
They decided that they would not execute the plan that night, but instead carefully prepare for a future operation.
The plan was structured in clear stages.
First, they would infiltrate the general area surrounding Seishin Academy under the cover of darkness.
They would move quietly through the streets and alleys, using Oka Hinata’s far-sight and x-ray vision to scan buildings and open spaces from a safe distance without being detected.
Nagumo would provide raw strength for any physical obstacles, while Naoya’s plants could be used for silent movement or creating temporary cover.
If no sign of the monster was found in the surrounding area after a thorough search, they would then move on to the second stage: infiltrating the school itself.
They would slip onto the school grounds, using the same combination of abilities — Hinata’s vision to check inside classrooms and hallways through walls, Naoya’s vines for quiet entry points or restraints if needed, and Shiki’s undead summons as backup if things turned dangerous.
The goal was to locate Jorogumo without alerting her, observe her movements, and only engage if they had a clear advantage.
Since the monster was known to be extremely powerful and capable of creating a dangerous dimension filled with her spider children, the group emphasized caution and reconnaissance over direct confrontation for now.
Rin listened quietly, continuing to maintain his act of being a normal, slightly overwhelmed student who had just discovered the hidden world of heroes and monsters. Dracula stood beside him with a faint, elegant smile, clearly entertained by the entire situation.
The club room buzzed with focused energy as the members discussed timing, possible entry points, backup plans, and escape routes, all while the weight of facing one of the top-ranked monsters in the realm hung silently over their planning.
