"Ding Ling Ling Ling Ling …" Following the ringing of the bell, the students sitting in the classroom immediately became as noisy as criminals who had been freed from their restraints. Each of them stood up from their seats, packed their bags, and walked out of the classroom.
This was already the end of the holiday. After the students had all returned to school, the scene of the end of the day's classes.
"Let's not practice today. I'll take you to a place later." Sei Itō, who had also packed his books into his bag, stood up and walked to Nanjo Kirishama's table. He lowered his head and said to Nanjo Kirishama.
"Oh." Nanjo Kirishama nodded and put everything into his sports bag. He stood up and followed Sei Itō out of the classroom.
Soon, the two of them left the teaching building. They walked from the side of the teaching building to the back of the school's gymnasium.
At this time, Sei Itō suddenly reached out and hugged Nanjo Kirishama's waist, and said softly, "Hold me tight."
Nanjo Kirishama heard this and looked around. After confirming that no one was paying attention, he reached out his hands and hugged Sei Itō's waist with blushing cheeks. He leaned his body into Sei Itō's embrace.
At this time, Sei Itō, who was hugging Nanjo Kirishama, leaped to the side. Like a grasshopper, he jumped onto the roof of the storeroom next to the gymnasium. Then, he turned again and jumped onto the protruding joint between the first and second floor of the gymnasium. He stood on the cement stone that was less than a palm's width.
"Pay attention to the inside." Sei Itō, who was helping Nanjo Kirishama to stand up, turned around and looked into the gymnasium through the glass in front of him. At the same time, he said softly to Nanjo Kirishama beside him.
"Gymnastics Department?" Nanjo Kirishama, who was looking into the gymnasium according to Sei Itō's words, frowned and said, "What are you looking at them for?"
"Pay attention to their movements, especially the movements of the girl with long blonde hair and glasses on her face," Sei Itō reminded.
"Dairy cow!" Following Sei Itō's instructions, Nanjo Nora's gaze quickly landed on Miwa, who was currently holding onto a gymnastics belt and performing new gymnastics movements in the gymnasium. However, compared to Fenglin Temple's gymnastics movements, the two stalwart lumps on her chest attracted Nanjo Nora's gaze more. After comparing the difference between himself and the Fenglin Temple's Mei Yu, he pouted unhappily.
"Oh, you," Sei Itō turned his head to look at Nanjo Kira, shaking his head helplessly as he sighed. He then turned his gaze back to Mei Yu, who was doing gymnastics in the gymnasium, and said softly, "If you have the time to be envious, why don't you observe her movements before she notices you?"
"From your tone, you seem to know her very well. Who is she? " From Sei Itō's words, Sei Itō seemed to know the other party, so Nanjo Nora asked unhappily.
"Jealous?" Sei Itō glanced at Nanjo Nora and teased.
"Who, who's jealous?" As soon as his voice fell, Nanjo Nora immediately tensed up like a cat whose tail had been stepped on. He looked at Sei Itō with a face full of shame and anger as he retorted loudly.
"If you're not jealous, why are you so agitated?" Sei Itō continued to tease.
"Hmph, in short, I'm not jealous." Not knowing how to refute, Nanjo Nora coldly snorted and turned his gaze back to Mei Yu as he continued to be stubborn.
Seeing this, Sei Itō smiled and stopped teasing Nanjo Nora's emotions. He looked at Mei Yu in the gymnasium and introduced her, "She's Mei Yu of Fenglin Temple, the granddaughter of the Elder of the Liangshan Lake, where I previously cultivated. In addition, she's currently with Byakuin Kenichi, so she can be considered an enemy of your Twilight of the Gods. "
"So she's the girl that Taiichi, one of my underlings, mentioned before." After hearing the introduction, Nanjo Nora said with a look of realization.
"However, the reason I brought you here this time is not to let you know her, but to let you observe her movements." Seeing that Nanjo Nora's thoughts were a little off track, Sei Itō reminded him, "I see that you're always unable to comprehend the key to the phrase 'Let yourself fly'. Since that's the case, I can only let you see with your own eyes someone who can let herself fly. I hope you can get some hints from her. "
Nanjo Nora frowned when he heard this, then he seriously observed Mei Yu's gymnastics movements.
"Hey, what are you two doing? Come down quickly, don't you know that it's dangerous there?" But before Nanjo Nora could observe for long, a man's scolding voice suddenly entered their ears.
"Not good, it's the discipline director." Nanjo Nora, whose attention was attracted by the scolding voice, was immediately shocked when he found out who the owner of the voice was.
For Japanese students, especially the delinquents, the discipline director was basically a natural enemy. If they were caught by him and brought to the discipline room for further education, that kind of feeling would not be pleasant.
Seeing that his observation was interrupted, Sei Itō immediately hugged Nanjo Nora's waist, jumped out of the gymnasium, quickly ran out of the discipline director's sight, and left Desolate High School by jumping over the back wall of the school.
"Did you discover anything from Mei Yu's movements just now?" After leaving the school, Sei Itō withdrew his arm from Nanjo Nora's waist and asked while looking at the road ahead.
"No." Nanjo Nora lowered his head and thought for a moment, then raised his head again and shook his head with a confused expression.
"Don't you think that her movements are very light? It seems like her body is weightless. "Sei Itō saw this and could not help but remind him.
"That's right, there is indeed that kind of feeling." After receiving Sei Itō's reminder, Nanjo Nora once again recalled the scene when he was peeking at Mei Yu outside the gymnasium and admitted with a look of realization.
"Remember that feeling, then imitate it. Try your best to make your body like Mei Yu's. This way, you will probably be able to understand the true meaning of the phrase 'Let yourself fly.'" Sei Itō said.
"I understand." Nanjo Nora nodded in response.
"Alright, it's about time, I should go." At this moment, Sei Itō suddenly stopped, turned around and said to Nanjo Nora, "Also, during the time that I'm not here, you and White Bird have to train well, don't be lazy."
"Got it." Nanjo Nora curled her lips. She replied with an impatient expression.
Looking at Nanjo Nora's appearance, Sei Itō chuckled and kissed her lips. He stuck out his tongue to open Nanjo Nora's teeth and tangled with the smoothness behind it.
After a moment, Sei Itō raised his head and smiled at Nanjo Nora who was blushing. "Remember to miss me." Immediately after, he activated Teleport. He disappeared from Nanjo Nora's sight.
"You bastard, only a ghost would miss you." Seeing that Sei Itō had disappeared, Nanjo Nora immediately turned her head to look around and found that there were no other passersby around. She let out a sigh of relief and muttered in a low voice.
Then, she raised her head and walked back to her stronghold.
On the other side, Sei Itō who had left Nanjo Nora's side flashed continuously. Almost every time he flashed, he would appear at another place one kilometer away from his previous position. After flashing continuously for a few minutes, Sei Itō finally stopped the activation of Teleport. He stood in front of a shrine's torii.
"It should be here, Nu Ku Flaming Shrine." Sei Itō turned his head and looked at the huge Boundary Stone placed in front of the torii's right doorpost, as well as the words written on it.
Then, he made up his mind and walked into the shrine.
The overall layout of Nu Ku Flaming Shrine was basically the same as Sei Itō's own shrine. It was the kind of direct layout where one would see the main hall after passing through the torii. This saved Sei Itō the trouble of distinguishing the main hall, side hall, sacrificial hall, dojo, and so on. Therefore, after Sei Itō confirmed the situation of the buildings, he went straight to the dojo of Nu Ku Flaming Shrine.
"There's no one here? Did he bring his disciple to challenge the dojo again? "Sei Itō thought when he saw that there was no one in the dojo.
Then, Sei Itō turned around and walked to the other houses.
"It seems that he really did bring his disciple to challenge the dojo. Otherwise, there should be no one in the shrine." After searching all the houses, Sei Itō still couldn't find his target, so he returned to the dojo and sat cross-legged on the ground.
"Forget it. Since there's no one here, I'll just wait here. After all, this is the only place where I can find the [Dark] person." Sei Itō closed his eyes and made up his mind. Immediately after, he adjusted his breathing, allowing himself to enter the state of meditation required for cultivation. Then, he began to cultivate with peace of mind.
And this wait made Sei Itō wait for more than a week.
"The sound of breathing. Someone's coming." On this day, Ito Sei, who was still sitting cross-legged in the dojo of the Nu Ku Fire Shrine as usual, suddenly opened his eyes and looked at the door of the dojo as he muttered in his heart.
Under his gaze, a long-haired woman who looked to be in her thirties and was about 1.7 meters tall and looked to be in her thirties was approaching the dojo with a little girl who was about 1.3 to 1.4 meters tall and looked to be around 10 years old. She was also wearing a witch's robe and looked to be in her late twenties.
"Hmm?" Just when she was about to approach the dojo, the woman suddenly stopped and let out a soft sound.
"Interesting." Then the woman's mouth curled up slightly, and she continued to walk at a normal speed as she whispered to herself, "Interesting."
Soon, the woman walked into the dojo with the little girl beside her. At the same time, the little girl finally knew the reason for her master's previous pause. Her muscles tensed up, and her heart was full of vigilance as she looked at Sei Itō expressionlessly.
"Sit." Sei Itō's posture didn't change as he calmly looked at the woman and pointed to the ground in front of him.
Seeing this, the woman's expression didn't change at all. Even her emotions didn't fluctuate in Sei Itō's perception. She quietly walked to the opposite side of Sei Itō and knelt down.
Following the woman's movements, the little girl who walked in with her also tactfully walked to the side and knelt down not far from the woman's left side.
"Before we talk about business, let me introduce myself." Sei Itō looked into the woman's eyes and said softly, "This one is Sei Itō, a free warrior."
"The main purpose of this visit is to invite Sensei Miumo to become my partner and help me train my people." After introducing himself, Sei Itō said straightforwardly.
"Since you were able to find this place and call out my name, you should know who I am. Even so, you still have the confidence to invite me to be your partner and help you train your people. You've really impressed me." The woman named Kaneda Miumo looked at Ito Seiji expressionlessly and said in a low voice.
"However, if you want me to become your partner, just having this courage isn't enough. You must show me your strength to prove that you are qualified to work with me. Otherwise, I don't mind killing you here as punishment for trespassing into my shrine." Sensei Miumo continued.
"Indeed, as one of the Dark Empty-Handed Group's One Shadow Nine Fist's One Shadow Nine Fist, not just anyone can form a partnership with you. Therefore, this one is prepared to fight Sensei Miumo to the death before coming here. If Sensei Miumo doesn't mind, this one is willing to fight Sensei Miumo to the death." Sei Itō nodded slightly and replied indifferently.
"Very good awareness. Then I will fulfill your wish." Sensei Miumo said.
Sensei Miumo didn't do anything and another Sensei Miumo suddenly appeared behind Sei Itō. She reached out her right index finger and pointed at Sei Itō's medulla oblongata under his head.
Sei Itō had a rough understanding of Sensei Miumo's martial arts from the manga, so he didn't panic. He unleashed his aura and a figure that looked exactly like him appeared beside Sei Itō and blocked Sensei Miumo's finger.
However, as soon as the two came into contact, they both turned into illusions and disappeared on the spot. Along with Ito Sei and Tanabe Miumo's illusions, the real bodies of Ito Sei and Tanabe Miumo, who were originally sitting cross-legged and kneeling on the ground, respectively, also disappeared.
In the next second, Ito Sei and Tanaka Miumo, who had just disappeared, reappeared in the dojo. But unlike when they disappeared, the two people who reappeared were no longer just two people. Instead, there were several Ito Sei and Tanaka Miumo that looked exactly the same as Ito Sei and Tanaka Miumo. Each of them faced each other in the dojo.
"I didn't expect you to be able to use your aura to such an extent at such a young age." Sensei Miumo said.
"It's nothing, it's all thanks to Sensei Miyo's help. If it weren't for your demonstration, even if I knew how these afterimages were created, I wouldn't be able to use them as freely as I do now. I would like to express my gratitude to Sensei Miyo," Ito Sei of the Afterimages said.
"Is that so? What a talented young man," Sensei Miumo said as she continued to fight illusions like a game of hide-and-seek.
"Sensei Miumo, you're too kind. I might be talented, but I still can't compare to someone like you who can create your own martial art style. I'm well aware of that," Sei Itō smiled.
