Chapter 18 Confirming the Heart About Akaya's Demonization

When Akaya gets excited, his eyes turn blood red, his hair turns white, and his blood vessels swell and his skin turns red.

The first time he was discovered was when Ryouna snatched Akaya's toy. Everyone in the family was shocked at the time. Ryouna thought Akaya was also a sorcerer and was worried for several days.

Later, he quietly took Akagi out to have Gojo Satoru and Geto Suguru checked, and only then did he feel relieved.

At first, Ryona was excited that her younger brother was just like her, but when she found out that Aka was just an ordinary person, little Ryona burst into tears of joy.

That's really great, she thought.

It’s really great that Chi doesn’t have to see those disgusting monsters.

Even though Ryouna was precocious, she was still afraid of the feeling of being coveted by monsters.

Cold, damp, helpless...

The surroundings were covered with sharp claws, and the cursed spirits were ready to wait for an opportunity to strike, find the right moment to tear her into pieces and swallow her bit by bit.

"So, is this also high blood pressure for Senior Ryouna?" Yukimura Seiichi said in a gentle voice, looking at Ryouna with concern.

Ryouna was slightly stunned. She didn't expect that Yukimura Seiichi's first reaction was to care about her.

"That's not the case." A playful smile appeared in her eyes, "In our family, it was inherited by that unlucky guy Chiye."

Akaya's "demonization" is due to family inheritance, and the change in hair color is also a manifestation of the transformation of negative emotions.

Back then, Gojo Satoru said that Akaya's negative emotions during his "demonization" were very interesting. His negative emotions were not transformed into cursed energy to produce cursed spirits like those of ordinary people.

"That group of athletes is quite interesting." Gojo Satoru pulled down his sunglasses, revealing his celestial eyes. "They're amazing at transforming negative emotions into strength in a different way."

The zone in basketball, the mental strength in tennis...

"I think they call it something like mental power?"

Feeling that the word mental power can encompass everything, Gojo Satoru arbitrarily attributes everything to mental power.

Little Ryona was still feeling lucky that Aka would not become a sorcerer, so she didn't take the subsequent conversation between Gojo Satoru and Geto Suguru to heart.

After that, Akane Ryouna officially entered the world of curse arts and started her life as a slave. She seldom went to watch Akaya's matches. In the few matches she did watch, the opponents were not strong enough to allow Akaya to use "demonization".

I have to say that Chi Ye is very talented in tennis. He taught himself and rarely loses to his peers.

So she knew nothing about Akaya's 'demonization' of tennis, but she didn't expect to learn such a big 'surprise' from his senior today.

"Eh? Me?" Akaye was shocked and pointed at himself.

"That's you." Ryona raised her chin slightly, tapped Akaya's head with her fingers slightly bent, "But you control it well in daily life, you don't feel it yourself."

"I didn't expect you to think this was a tennis stunt and even named it 'Demonization'. If you keep this up, you won't be able to play professionally in the future."

Akaya's 'demonization' not only brings physical harm due to his inherited high blood pressure, but also potential damage to his mental strength due to negative emotions, which not only consumes his body, but also hinders the development of his mental strength.

Liangnai rolled her eyes at him unhappily. She didn't know where this stupid kid inherited his genes from.

Liu Lian'er paused with her pen. This time, it was their misjudgment. They had not expected that the 'demonization' would be so harmful to Akaye. It seemed that they had to control Akaye and make him use the 'demonization' less.

"Senior, do you have any methods to control Akaya's 'demonization'?"

A method to control demonization? Ryouna touched her nose guiltily.

Does the use of force count?

In order to maintain her image, Ryouna did not tell Yanagi Renji about this method.

"I interrupt him when he's about to have an attack, to prevent him from going into a 'demon' state."

Remembering that Teacher Nitro had recently become very interested in diet therapy, she added, "I know a very good doctor who can help develop a daily diet plan for Akaya."

Diet therapy? Yanagi Renji fell into deep thought. The doctor seemed to be researching special functional drinks recently. Perhaps he could discuss this with him then.

As the sky grew darker, Liangnai turned on her cell phone and just in time she received a message from her teacher.

——"The meeting is over. You can come to my office now."

The main purpose of Ryouna's visit today was to meet Akaya's English teacher, who was very disappointed with her for going to the Tokyo Religious High School.

How could I go to a religious college with such good grades? I feel so sad.JPG

Ryona straightened her clothes and stood up, saying goodbye to everyone, "I came back to school today to visit my former teacher, so I'll be leaving first."

"Thanks to you for taking care of Akaya, I'll treat you to barbecue at Ginza someday when I have time."

The boys were a little hesitant. They hadn't done a very good job. They didn't even know that Chi Ye's "demonization" would have such serious consequences.

Not wanting to burden the teenagers, she said with a touch of exaggeration, "My teacher gave me several super-discount coupons, so don't worry about the cost."

"Woohoo! Thank you, Senior!"

It has been a while since she left Rikkai University. Ryouna looked at the scenery outside the corridor in a daze. The scene of her and Yuriko Sugimoto playing under the big tree not far away seemed to be just yesterday.

She shook her head, getting rid of all these fantasies. Now was not the time to think about these things. The most important thing at the moment was to complete their plan.

"Come in." The English teacher closed the lesson plan. "You're here."

She looked at this best student with mixed emotions in her eyes, which eventually turned into a helpless sigh.

"How's the new school going?"

Ryona pulled a chair from the desk next to her and sat down, then picked up the souvenirs she had bought on her last trip to Hokkaido and gently placed them on the teacher's desk.

“The classmates are all very easy to get along with.”

For a moment, both of them were silent.

The teacher observed Ryouna, trying to find any trace of regret on her face.

"Forget it, you've always been a person with your own ideas." The teacher was the first to give in.

She really couldn't bear to see such a promising student who was applying to the University of Tokyo go to waste, so she opened the drawer and took out the information she had prepared long ago.

She originally wanted to ask Akaya or Sugimoto Yuriko to give it to her, but she still wanted to ask Ryouna to meet with her to persuade her.

Seeing her now, this good student still looks determined. Apart from the dark circles under her eyes, her spirits are as high as ever.

So I really compromised.

Everyone has their own life choices, and she shouldn't interfere too much.

"If you want to transfer back to Rikkai University..."

"Teacher." Liang Nai interrupted her persuasion with a helpless smile, "I am very happy with the school now."

"My classmates, teachers and I are working on a century-old problem in our field."

“If it succeeds, it will be a game-changer.”

The world of spells is no longer dominated by Old Orange, and the lives of ordinary spellcasters are now protected...

She looked at the setting sun outside the window, flames dancing in her orange-red eyes, which reflected her ambition for the future.

The teacher's heart, which had been silent for many years, was also softened and infected by Liang Nai, and thousands of words turned into just one blessing.

"Then I sincerely hope that everything goes well for you."

The teacher and Ryouna exchanged some information about Akaya's situation, and the two chatted for a while.

After taking the documents and carefully closing the office door, Ryona let out a long sigh and stood still in silence.

"That Akaya guy...it looks like the teacher and the tennis club are going to have a lot of headaches in the future."

After sorting out her thoughts, Liang Nai turned around and prepared to leave, but she saw a blue-purple-haired boy leaning against the railing not far away.

The young man has a graceful figure, and just standing there quietly is like a beautiful painting.

Ryouna walked up and greeted, "Yukimura? Are you here to see the teacher as well?"

She remembered that the second-grade teacher's office was on the third floor?

"No, I'm here to see you, Senior."

He was holding a pair of black sunglasses in his slender white hands. The boy's hands had distinct joints, and ordinary sunglasses looked like luxury goods in his hands.

Ryouna took the sunglasses and her fingertips accidentally brushed across the boy's palm.

The boy's heart felt itchy as if being tickled by a kitten, and the usually steady boy's face was slightly flushed.

Yukimura calmed down, and the guilty look of the girl in front of him was reflected in his purple eyes.

This time he was impulsive. The strange love letter that he asked Chiye to deliver on his behalf made him feel a sense of crisis for the first time.

He subconsciously took on the task of delivering the sunglasses and used it as an excuse to find Ryouna.

The moment I saw the girl, my heart started bubbling like sparkling water.

Yes, he thought.

Even the Son of God hesitates when facing someone he likes, worrying that he will be rejected by the person he likes.

The girl in front of him unconsciously avoided his gaze, and her fair earlobes turned red like pomegranate seeds.

But now he was sure that the other party was not completely indifferent to him.

The perpetrator on the opposite side pretended to be calm, unwilling to think deeply about why the other party was staring at her. Her thoughts had long since turned into a ball of wool.

"There's a thin layer of calluses on his palms," Ryouna said, twisting her fingertips with her hands behind her back. "It seems Yukimura really loves tennis."

"Did Ryouna-senpai forget to take anything?"

Yukimura considerately ended this strange atmosphere, saying that we should not be too impatient, otherwise it would be bad if the kitten hid back.

"No more." Liangnai blinked her round eyes and shook her head.

The two walked downstairs side by side, and the boy considerately let her lean against the wall.

Thinking of the teacher's instructions, Liangnai pursed her lips and thought that a short pain is worse than a long one.

"Ah, is your county competition about to start?"

She scratched her face and twirled the corner of her clothes with her fingers, looking quite embarrassed.

"What's wrong?" Yukimura thought she wanted to watch Akaya's match. "Not many people watch the county tournament. If you want to watch Akaya's match, I can help you reserve a seat with a good view."

"No, no." Liangnai waved her hands quickly.

Idiot Akagi! You got such bad grades that even the teacher came to my house!

She should be on a mission at that time, so she probably won't be able to go to the county competition. She'll see if she can squeeze out time during the Kanto competition.

"...The teacher said that if Akaya fails the exam, he won't be able to participate in the competition. In serious cases, he will even be forced to stop his club activities—"

"She wants you to supervise Akaya and help him pass the make-up exam..."

Yukimura Seiichi smiled faintly. So this was the reason why he had been struggling for so long?

"It's okay. We have a lot of top students in the tennis club. They'll definitely be able to help Akaye pass."

No matter what, Akaya is still Ryouna-senpai's younger brother. No matter how bad his grades are, he was admitted to Rikkai University, which has a high deviation value. He must have a foundation, right?

Ryona felt inexplicably reluctant to look at the relaxed young man in front of her.

She took out the hidden transcript and handed it to Yukimura Seiichi, "...you should take a look at it yourself."

Seiichi Yukimura reached out to take the report card, and the moment he saw the single-digit number, the smile on his face froze.
