Chapter 106: A Return To Akichi High School

Translator: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio

Upon hearing these words, the Kimura Kazuki of the past would have felt like he had received some advice from a sage, but now he could naturally understand it.

After he became a private tutor, he thought he could take advantage of being a cultivator to improve the Furuhashi sisters’ results.

However, it was easier said than done. Even though Kimura Kazuki felt confident as a teacher, he was still unable to make the Furuhashi sisters more intelligent. Since his teaching was of no help and the Furuhashi sisters refused to learn, Kimura Kazuki felt powerless.

Though it seemed futile, Kimura Kazuki did not give up. He went through many preparations and was entirely determined to improve the Furuhashi sisters’ results.

After what happened today, Kimura Kazuki suddenly had a realization. Even when the Furuhashi sisters had clearly shown their hatred for studying, he had still obtusely continued tutoring them for the sake of his wages. It was like both parties waging a tug of war against each other. Not only would this frustrate Harunaka and her sisters, but he would also be frustrated as well. It was clearly a waste of everyone’s time.

Now that he realized this, he chose to retreat rapidly, to give up...

Nothing is perfect in this world, no matter if it was in the carnal world or if you have cultivated to exceed the body, many things could not be solved by cultivation alone.

He felt relieved after he resigned, the faint feeling of being released from the shackles that once bound him.

This was what had stimulated his reiki, the whole tutor affair had heightened his state of mind.

There were losses and gains. Could this actually be a blessing in disguise?

Kimura Kazuki sat on his newly bought chair and drew a long breath. He would not go to Akichi High School tonight. Instead, he wanted to absorb all the reiki collected in the Sun and Moon Sword to surpass the Fourth Foundation State.

With the strength he amassed, he would be more confident in defeating the Multi-armed Demon.

Kimura Kazuki did not sleep that night. Instead, he spent his whole night absorbing the massive amount of reiki inside the Sun and Moon Sword...

It was only in the morning that Kimura Kazuki had fully absorbed all the reiki and achieved the Fourth Foundation State.

After a sleepless night, Kimura Kazuki was feeling exhausted and frazzled.

The Fourth Foundation State... following the timeline he calculated before, it would have taken him longer to achieve it.

However, he had achieved Fourth Foundation State in less than a month, this was surely something worth celebrating.

On a brand new day, Kimura Kazuki attended his classes as usual. During recess, he encountered the Furuhashi sisters in the cafeteria, the four sisters were shy and avoided meeting his eyes. He smiled in amusement.

Kimura Kazuki sat at the table; he was in a great mood. If not for the job of being a tutor... he would be stuck at Second Foundation State, it was paramount for him to train to achieve a clear state of mind. As long as he had enough reiki, things would naturally work out.

But, some might never achieve a clear state of mind in their lifetime.

Speaking of this, he should thank the Furuhashi sisters. When he saw their guilty expressions, he felt good and jeered, “What’s wrong? Are you still thinking about what happened yesterday? Don’t worry about it, I have already found a new job.”

“Really?” Furuhashi Harunaka’s eyes lit up. Yesterday, her aunt had told her that Kimura-senpai had rejected her job proposal, thinking that her relationship with Kimura Kazuki had ended there and then. She would never have expected it was because he had already found a job.

“So fast...”

The other three sisters thought it was unbelievable since only one night had passed.

Kimura Kazuki laughed. He had a general direction but has yet to be employed. He only said that to stop the four sisters from worrying about the tutor issue.

“Of course. But even if I manage to get employed, you all will still need to pay the monthly protection fee.” Kimura Kazuki tapped the table seriously, “But after you have paid the fee, feel free to find me if anything happens in school. I will do everything in my power to help.”

At this point, Furuhashi Akino’s face went pale, she had almost forgotten the monthly 500,000 yen canteen fee.

The other three sisters were amused but did not mind much. Sakura Kyu’s cafeteria was very popular, if not for their Kimura-senpai, it would have been impossible for four of them to be sitting together at a single table for lunch.

Seeing Harunaka and her three sisters’ expressions returning to normal, Kimura Kazuki did not say much after that.

However, the observant Fuyuno had realized Kimura Kazuki’s attitude toward them had improved significantly... but she dared not question any further.

It was 8 o’clock at night, and Kimura Kazuki had made his preparations. The Multi-armed Demon was like a thorn at his side, continuously consuming his thoughts until it was removed. If it were allowed to achieve Metamorphosis, things would become unpredictable.

Kimura Kazuki had quickly reached the tram station and arrived at Herian District within ten minutes. As he was the only passenger, he was able to arrive at Akichi High School quickly. It was 9 o’clock at night, he took a deep breath as he stood in front of the school gate.

The last time he was here, he had merely been testing his luck. He never thought he would get so lucky on his first try.

However, his strength previously was incomparable to his strength now.

As he was thinking, Kimura Kazuki stepped foot into Akichi High School. Once inside, he could smell a faint burnt smell in the air... his heart skipped a beat, he could not smell that the last time when he was at the school gate. It looked like the demon’s strength had grown...

However, he did not hear any news about attacks on the nearby village, there also did not seem to be anything abnormal on his way here. All these indicated that the Multi-armed Demon had yet to metamorph.

Kimura Kazuki immediately rushed to the sports warehouse.

His pace was neither hasty nor relaxed. He made sure his mood was at its best before reaching the entrance of the sports warehouse. At this point, the burnt smell was thick and heavy, but Kimura Kazuki remained unaffected as he had some Ghost Expelling Talismans.

When he reached the entrance of the sports warehouse and looked inside, his heart skipped a beat, “Sergeant Takamori?”

He had already encountered Sergeant Takamori twice yesterday... what was he doing here?

Suspicion took root in his heart before he came to a conclusion... perhaps he had come to investigate the Akichi High School fire incident?

He tossed a piece of Ghost Expelling Talisman he was holding. He did not know how long Sergeant Takamori had been here, but hopefully, he was still alive.

Woosh!

Just as he cast the Ghost Expelling Talisman, the sound of something whizzing through the air reverberated across the atmosphere. In a flash, uncountable arms emerged from the sports warehouse and rushed towards him. They were moving faster than the last time. As he was prepared, his expression did not falter at this sudden ambush.

It seemed like the Multi-armed Demon’s strength had improved, but its ability to utilize it had not.

This point was evident as he managed to escape the first time. The Multi-armed Demon only had a rudimentary understanding of how to use its abilities. Putting it nicely, it was well-versed in basic attacks, to put it crassly, the demon was clumsy and unrefined.

This time, Kimura Kazuki was better prepared. After learning the Yagyu Flying Sword Style, his strength had grown exponentially.

Seeing the innumerable jet black arms rushing at him, Kimura Kazuki channeled the reiki to his toes and lifted off the ground. While turning, he gripped the hilt of his sword, concentrating his energy into the Sun and Moon Sword in his hands. With a gentle swing of his arm, he drew a semicircular flash of silver in the air.

Uncountable arms were severed off, and Kimura Kazuki managed to reach Rei Takamori. He lifted him up by the waist and exited the sports warehouse.

By the time Kimura Kazuki had laid Rei Takamori down, the Multi-armed Demon had fully regenerated its arms. It stepped out of the sports warehouse. A head was now attached on its shoulders, where there had been none before.

Even though the face was distorted, he could still barely tell that it was Ito Shunji.

“You have... the smell of Aoki Hidehiro on you!”
