Chapter 613 613: Perception Link Active
After hesitating for only a few seconds, Tachibana Yui quickly walked over as well.
She joined Akane in accompanying Hikari during the demonstration exchange session.
And seeing the three of them directly start a discussion workshop over there, sharing experience with each other, exchanging knowledge, looking completely harmonious, Shiina Chizuru, Takamine Ayako, Serizawa Yukiha, and the other girls nearby all showed different reactions, their expressions complicated.
Still, there was one thing they had in common.
Their cheeks were slightly red.
Their throats moved faintly as they swallowed, unable to stop themselves from getting nervous.
And after personally giving the demonstration herself, seeing that the "sisters" also seemed interested in participating, Akane secretly smiled.
As the corners of her lips lifted, a little saliva even slipped out through the gap in her lips, showing how pleased she felt inside.
Things were progressing this smoothly.
Next, Akane naturally became even more enthusiastic, showing everything she had learned during this period one by one.
Not just for Hikari to see, but for everyone around them as well.
She believed that with her leading the way, the club's exchange workshop would definitely become lively and successful.
But what happened next caught Akane off guard.
Maybe they still were not used to it yet, or maybe they were shy, in any case, after she and Tachibana Yui finished accompanying Hikari through one full demonstration exchange session, there was still no third person willing to step forward on their own.
Although the knowledgeable Hikari still looked energetic, Tachibana Yui was already breathing heavily from exhaustion.
Even Akane herself felt weak and numb.
Inside the huge classroom, the atmosphere suddenly stalled.
Even though Akane still felt excited inside, looking at the slightly stiff mood right now, she suddenly did not know what to do.
After all, she was the one who had pushed this plan forward from the beginning, yet the progress was not smooth.
Growing flustered, Akane looked up at Hikari with a pleading look in her eyes.
Seeing her panicked, pitiful expression, Hikari rubbed her head, signaling for her to calm down and not panic.
After all, although the club had been proposed by Akane, Hikari was naturally the club president.
So as the nominal president, even without Akane asking for help, he should do something.
Besides, the atmosphere was not as stiff as Akane imagined.
Hikari turned his head and looked over. The line of beautiful girls standing there watching like they were being punished all had flushed faces.
A few of them had already clenched their skirts tightly in their hands. Their feelings were probably very mixed as well.
Seeing this scene, Hikari smiled.
Then he suddenly realized, this situation seemed perfect for testing the new "Perception Link" skill he got today.
At this moment, this setting could not be more suitable.
He first let Tachibana Yui and Akane, who already looked tired after one round of the exchange workshop, rest at the side.
Then Hikari looked at the beautiful girl standing closest to him.
With skin as pale as snow and a jade-like face, wearing a pure white dress, two X-shaped hairpins clipped in her hair, and her small hands tightly gripping her skirt hem, Amakawa Kanade.
"Kanade-chan, come over here," Hikari waved at her.
Hearing Hikari suddenly call out to her, Amakawa Kanade froze slightly and hesitated for a moment.
But after recovering, she obediently walked to his side.
"Hikari-kun, I…"
Amakawa Kanade was about to say something, but Hikari suddenly reached out, wrapped an arm around her slim waist, and pulled her directly into his arms.
"Ah!"
Feeling Hikari's movement and remembering that so many people were still watching nearby, Amakawa Kanade's cute little face immediately turned red.
But in her nervousness, she failed to notice that the looks from the others around her were full of envy.
"Don't be nervous. Relax a little."
Seeing how tense her body was, Hikari gently stroked her hair and comforted her with a smile.
"Mm…"
Hearing his words, Amakawa Kanade gradually relaxed.
After seeing that she had mostly returned to normal, Hikari looked up again and spoke to Serizawa Yukiha, Takamine Ayako, Shiina Chizuru, the Sakuramiya sisters whose hands were nervously clasped together, and the others still watching nearby.
"Everyone, don't be nervous either. Relax a little. Relax both your body and your mind."
Everyone present had already shared intimate exchanges with Hikari and trusted him very much.
So although they did not know why, after hearing his words, they all tried their best to relax.
And after seeing them relax, Hikari silently activated the skill "Perception Link."
This was also his first time using the skill, so he was still somewhat unfamiliar with it.
To avoid any accidents, he had told Serizawa Yukiha and the others to relax first so it would be easier for him to connect to them.
After activating the skill, Hikari felt as though two extra hands had appeared within his mind.
Something originally shapeless and intangible had become controllable.
And not only his own, but other people's as well.
Hikari first lowered his head and looked at Amakawa Kanade in his arms.
Seeing him suddenly look at her, the moment their eyes met, Amakawa Kanade's little face became red again, and her pink lips parted slightly from nervousness.
But Hikari had no time to admire the shy appearance of the girl before him.
At this moment, he was using those invisible hands in his mind to gently pull out part of the girl's spiritual perception.
Then he slowly linked it together with the girls gathered around nearby.
It was like knitting wool. His spiritual power acted like the needle, carrying the thread back and forth through the sweater at high speed.
In only a few seconds, Hikari used a force similar to telekinesis to connect the threads that normally would never touch one another.
Although it was his first time doing this and he was still somewhat inexperienced, Hikari's physical constitution was very strong, and his spiritual power was also abundant, so he learned quickly.
Besides, the Perception Link skill itself explained that the fewer targets there were, the weaker they were, and the weaker their resistance was, the easier the connection would succeed.
Although Hikari was connecting quite a few people at once right now, close to ten of them, all of them trusted Hikari with their life and had completely relaxed both body and mind, so there was practically no resistance. Because of that, Hikari did not spend much mental energy.
In only a few seconds, he linked together all the threads representing their perception.
Half a minute later, Hikari gently tightened his arms around Amakawa Kanade and smiled as he asked the others, "How does everyone feel?"
At this point, Serizawa Yukiha, Shiina Chizuru, and the others had already vaguely sensed something.
"It feels… kind of strange…", Shiina Chizuru said.
"Yeah. It feels like someone else's soul entered my body," Takamine Ayako could not help saying as well.
"I feel like… I've formed some kind of spiritual connection with everyone around me. Usually I only occasionally feel something like this with my younger sister," Sakuramiya Saya looked the most shocked. She looked toward her younger sister Sakuramiya Hinata beside her, while Sakuramiya Hinata also stared back at her in confusion.
"Ah! S-so itchy…", Sakuramiya Sayaka suddenly cried out.
And Shiina Chizuru, Serizawa Yukiha, and the others also suddenly felt a numb itch spread across their bodies.
Sensing something, everyone turned toward Hikari together.
Only then did they realize that at some point, he had already rolled up Amakawa Kanade's school uniform sleeve, lifted her arm, and was lightly tickling her smooth underarm with his fingers.
At this moment, Amakawa Kanade was both embarrassed and ticklish, but she did not dare resist Hikari. She could only cover her mouth with a flushed face and avoid the looks coming from the others nearby.
And because they had already vaguely sensed things after being linked together, plus none of the girls were stupid, they immediately understood what was happening.
"Hikari-kun, are we…"
"Connected together?"
"Is this like the shared senses in science fiction movies?"
"I know! There was an episode in Doraemon with a similar tool called Sharing Gum! After different people chewed the gum, they could share each other's sense of taste."
"Hikari-kun, does this work the same way?"
Hearing their questions, Hikari gave a mysterious smile without answering.
Instead, he wrapped an arm around Tachibana Yui's waist and lifted her up directly, using actions to explain things to them.

[Several Hours Later]
[Inside the Club Activity Classroom]
Out of the dozens of people who had originally held the exchange workshop together with Hikari, only Hikari himself was still standing.
Everyone else had collapsed from exhaustion.
Looking at the heavily breathing crowd, Hikari stepped forward and comforted them one by one.
Just now, he had done a small test of Perception Link.
The effect of this skill was even better than he had imagined.
Back then, the only person in his arms had clearly been Amakawa Kanade.
But the Sakuramiya sisters, Shiina Chizuru, and the others all reacted as though they were personally experiencing the same thing as Amakawa Kanade.
So after Amakawa Kanade reached satisfaction during the workshop discussion, the others also showed that they were satisfied as well.
