"So this is Mirage Sea's residence."
Looking at the temple in front of her, Dusk could not help but sigh. To be honest, she did not particularly like those troublesome things, especially when she still had a lot of troubles to deal with. But for Dusk, this world was just a side quest, and it did not have the threat of Chaos like other worlds, so she did not mind killing some time here.
With that thought in mind, Dusk walked forward and entered the temple gate.
The entire temple was empty. There was not a single person in sight … That was to be expected. Dusk was not here to participate in Mirage Sea's disciple selection competition. And according to Peony, Urakai Yousuke had already become Mirage Sea's disciple, which meant that part of the plot had already passed. But that was fine. After all, she was not interested in participating in something like the disciple selection test …
"You're Harukino?"
Following a hoarse voice, Dusk saw a short old lady walking out of the temple with her hands behind her back. She narrowed her eyes and looked at Dusk.
Needless to say, this was Mirage Sea.
"I'm Harukino Harukino. Nice to meet you, Master Mirage Sea."
"Hehehe, nice to meet you."
Mirage Sea was very gentle. She smiled and nodded at Dusk, then turned around and walked forward.
"Come with me."
"… ….?"
Although Dusk was a little puzzled, she still shrugged and followed behind Mirage Sea into the depths of the temple.
But then again, time was really a butcher's knife.
Looking at the skinny old lady in front of her, Dusk could not help but sigh. One of the most exciting scenes in "Ghost White Book" was none other than Mirage Sea's rejuvenation. According to the setting, when the inheritor of Aura Hadouken exerted her power, the cells in her body would instantly come to life and return the user to their peak state. Therefore, Mirage Sea's appearance when she rejuvenated was really cute to the point of killing many readers.
Looking at her current skinny appearance … Although all old people looked like this, compared to when she was young, it still made people sigh.
"You must be curious as to why I want to see you."
Mirage Sea said as he walked forward with his hands clasped behind his back, while Si shrugged his shoulders.
"Please enlighten me, Master."
"Hahaha, on one hand, it's because that brat Youzhu sees you as an opponent, and on the other hand, it's because of Lu Yu Lu … you should be familiar with him, right?"
"… …?"
"I saw him in my dreams recently. He's already planning to redeem himself for his sins, but before that, he told me that he's met with a power that he can't resist. That power completely shattered his faith. He once thought that as long as he transformed into a monster, power would be at his fingertips … But unfortunately, that didn't seem to be the case … "
"…"
You f * cking Lu Yulu, you actually came to the Mirage Sea in your dreams to complain about me? Are you even a f * cking man?
"I was already interested in you at that time. Later, when I found out from Susuke that you were actually his target.... Hehehe, I became even more interested in you."
"…"
If it weren't for the main character, I would've buried Yousuke alive right now.
Although it was useless to bury him alive.
At this moment, the two had already passed through the corridor and arrived at the courtyard behind the mountain. Mirage Sea stopped and turned around.
"According to my observation, you're just an ordinary high school student. I can't see any special power at all. But I don't think Lu Yu Lu would lie to me, so … show me your power. Let me see how strong the power that can break Lu Yu Lu's confidence is. "
"Ugh … …"
"What's wrong?"
"I don't mean to say it, Master Mirage Sea … …"
She hesitated for a moment, but finally decided to tell the truth.
"You're too fragile. If I use a little more strength, I'm afraid you'll be gone."
"Hahahaha."
However, this seemingly rude remark did not make Mirage Sea angry. On the contrary, she laughed happily.
"That's true. If even Lu Yu Lu, who sold his soul to obtain power, can't defeat an opponent, it's really too troublesome for me."
Speaking of this, Mirage Sea's expression suddenly turned serious.
"Then, can I use my full strength?"
"Please."
He made a gesture, and then just stood there, motionless.
Then, Mirage Sea stared at her and raised her right hand. Soon, a huge amount of spiritual energy emerged from Mirage Sea's body, condensing into a huge, cannonball-like existence.
"Haa — —!!!"
Along with Mirage Sea's roar, an incomparably huge spiritual ball whizzed out and shot directly at Yu. But Yu just stood there, looking at the spiritual ball in front of her without moving. Then, she saw the spiritual pill hit her body and explode.
"Boom!!!"
A shockwave like a grenade explosion appeared in an instant. Mirage Sea's face was pale, and her forehead was covered in sweat. She slowly put down her right hand and looked forward. Then, a breeze swept past, blowing away the thick smoke and dust around. Then, Yu, who looked exactly the same as before, appeared in front of Mirage Sea again without the slightest injury.
"Hahaha, sure enough, this kind of power is like a monster. No wonder Lu Yu Lu would give up."
Looking at Yu in front of her, Mirage Sea revealed a bitter smile. Of course, she knew what the other party did … Strictly speaking, she did nothing. She just stood there and took her blow head-on. It was that simple. But her all-out blow didn't even break the other party's clothes?
For Yu, it was that simple.
After this exchange that couldn't be considered as a fight, Mirage Sea brought Yu to the tea room next door and poured some tea.
Then, she looked at Yu and made her request.
"I hope you can participate in the upcoming KOF competition."
"Participate in that? I'm not interested. "
"A grand gathering of fighters from all over the world. Aren't you interested?"
"To me, they're just guys that I can kill in an instant."
Yu shrugged her shoulders.
"Besides, I'm neither a fighter nor a martial artist. I'm not enthusiastic about this kind of competition. It's fine to watch from the sidelines, but I'm not interested in going down to perform."
"In fact, Gaiden is preparing to participate in the competition."
"Oh?"
"That kid has great potential, but he always lacks nervousness. Maybe it's because of his previous sloppy life. It's hard for him to get serious. So, I hope I can give him a little stimulation. "
"If you're talking about opponents, there should be people in the KOF who are stronger than Urai Yousuke, right?"
It would have been fine if it was just a fighting tournament, but there were more monsters in KOF than there were people. Yu did not believe that Urawai Yousuke could defeat Kyo Kusanagi and Iori Yagami. He was lucky that he did not get beaten up by them.
"What that kid needs isn't an opponent, but a goal."
Mirage Sea shook her head.
"Everyone needs a goal to become stronger, but he doesn't have one right now. That's different from an opponent he needs to defeat. Just being stronger than him isn't enough, because that will only provoke his competitive spirit. He'll only set his goal on defeating his opponent, but after defeating his opponent, he'll return to that muddle-headed state. "
"You're right."
Hearing Mirage Sea's words, Yu rubbed her chin and nodded. She remembered that in the original story, Urai Yousuke only received a round of Reiki Hadouken basic training before returning to live his life leisurely. If Lu Yurai didn't appear in front of him, causing Urai Yousuke to feel a sense of danger, he wouldn't have taken the initiative to seek out Mirage Sea for special training.
To put it bluntly, this guy was a donkey. If you didn't beat him up, he wouldn't move forward.
Of course, if there was a clear goal, Urai Yousuke would still work hard, but that was a short-term goal. For someone like Lu Yurai, he would lose motivation once he was defeated. Mirage Sea's intention was obviously to find a 'life goal' for Urai Yousuke.
"What do you want to become stronger for? What do you want to pursue after becoming stronger? That's the goal of every martial artist. Lu Yurai took the wrong path, but I don't want that kid to take the same path. But no matter what, that kid will make his own choice. "
"But aren't you afraid that I'll beat him to a pulp? Make him completely autistic? "
If there was a chance to teach Urai Yousuke a lesson, Dusk naturally wouldn't let it go. But she still had to obtain his guardian's permission. Moreover, she was also very curious. If she beat Urai Yousuke into autistic, would Mirage Sea come looking for trouble with her? After all, she knew herself best. With Dusk's strength, she basically had no opponents in this world. She could crush anyone she fought. Even if Urai Yousuke revived from the dead and awakened his demonic bloodline, Dusk could crush him with a single finger after cultivating for a hundred million years. This was the difference in dimensions. No matter how much he cultivated, it was useless.
What if Urai Yousuke gave up on himself after learning about this and became a vagrant who drowned his sorrows in alcohol all day long. What would happen if he became a domestic abuser who yelled "this food is so disgusting" and flipped the table, then beat and scolded his wife? Even though it wasn't his fault … ….
"Hehehe, I believe this kid isn't that weak. If he gives up just because of this, then he doesn't have the qualifications to become the heir of Reiki Hadouken."
Evidently, Mirage Ocean had already thought of this. After hearing Yu's question, she chuckled and gave her answer.
Hearing Mirage Sea's answer, Dusk raised her brows.
Since you said so, then I'm relieved.
