You could say it's like Super Setsu-jin 2

“R-Rekka-dono, Rekka-dono!! What was that just now!?”
“Huh? Well, you know, when a new technique appears, the screen usually turns into a dramatic manga style and a technique name caption pops up. Use some common sense.”
“Common sense!? What do you mean by common sense!?”
“Quit your yapping! Hey, turn this way for a second!”

He grabbed Finn’s small shoulders firmly and faced him head-on.

“Kooooooo……”

A gas—or maybe an arc discharge, or some kind of unidentifiable vapor—began to rise from Rekka’s upper back.

“R-Rekka-dono, what are you planning to do?”
“Oooooooo, h-hey, stay still, okay? Ooooooooo……”

The mysterious vapor-like, arc-like, gas-like something increased in volume, growing larger and stronger.
And then.

“Muuun!!!!!!!!”

He thrust his fingers out in the same form as before!!
The difference was that it was at a super-speed that couldn't even be compared to before!!

“Gohaa!!??”

Finn couldn't react and took the gouging finger pressure head-on!!

Taito Yomei-ga Tenketsu

A massive lump of heat was shot into his solar plexus, and he felt it unravel inside his body, swirling around as it spread throughout his entire being.

“Aga!! Ogo!! Ogogego—!!”

Finn rolled his eyes back and thrashed about like a fish pulled from the water.
Before long, he felt a series of sensations like things popping near the midline of his body, and his small body convulsed each time.

“Aga…… aga……”
“Hmm!? Did I get it wrong…”

In front of Rekka, who was holding his chin in thought, Finn was gasping for air.
Shirley was also covering her mouth with both hands, looking flustered.

“Ugh, what on earth just happened……”

Eventually, the raging torrent of heat throughout his body gradually began to settle, and he realized that a vitality like glowing embers was now dwelling in the core of his body.

“A-ah...”

I sat up and looked at my hands.
Shwan-shwan-shwan-shwan... thin, golden, flame-like auras were rising from both of my hands.

“I struck your secret pressure point, the Gekishin-ko. You’ve already, uh, had your chakra opened up in a really great way, your blood circulation has become incredible, and your lifespan has been extended by about thirty years.”
“Huh!? Thirty years!?”

This guy just casually said something outrageous.
Contrary to his haphazard explanation, the sense of emptiness and fatigue that had been soaking into Finn’s body until just a moment ago had completely vanished.
I jumped out of bed and did some stretches. Then I leaped. My hand reached the ceiling. I landed lightly. I felt better than I ever had before.
However—the reduction in lifespan caused by using the |Silver Ring Universe (Iliaster)| was brought about by the erosion of Finn’s soul. No matter how good my physical condition became, that wouldn't just disappear.

—Net gain, plus twenty years.

“Ah, I’ll tell you this now, just because I keep hitting you with this technique doesn’t mean your life will extend by thirty years every time. If I could do that, you’d be immortal! That state is the maximum limit of your lifespan!”

So it means I can’t use the |Silver Ring Universe (Iliaster)| without limit.

“Even so, thank you very much! I feel incredibly energetic!”
“Yeah, glad to hear it!”

He placed a hand on my shoulder and showed me a wild, untamed smile.
With that same look on his face, he held out his palm in front of Finn.

“Alright, pay up.”
“Eh?”
“Obviously. You’re talking thirty years here, thirty years. What’s your annual income? It’s only natural I ask you to pay thirty times that, right? Heh-heh-heh-heh.”
“I-I don’t have any money, sir...”

For what it was worth, it seemed I did receive a salary as a soldier, but my mother managed all of it.

“Then how about this, uh, you were putting out those shiny, thread-like things earlier, right? What are those? Iron? Precious metal?”
“Um, they are pure silver...”
