"This is where Huan Hai lives."

Looking at the temple in front of her, Shizuku couldn't help but sigh. To be honest, she didn't particularly like those troublesome things, especially when she had a lot of troubles to deal with. But for Shizuku, this world was just a side quest, and it didn't have the threat of chaos like other worlds, so she didn't mind killing time.

Thinking of this, Shizuku took a step forward and walked into the temple gate.

The whole temple was completely empty, not a single person could be seen... This was understandable, Shizuku wasn't here to participate in the contest to select Genkai's disciples, and according to Mudan, Urameshi Yusuke had already become Genkai's disciple, which meant that part of the plot was over, but it was fine this way. After all, she wasn't interested in participating in any kind of disciple entrance test or something like that...

"Are you Kasugano?"

Accompanied by a hoarse voice, Shizuku saw a short old woman walking out, with her hands behind her back, squinting her eyes and looking at her.

No need to ask, this is the Phantom Sea.

"I'm Kasugano Shizuku. Nice to meet you. Thank you for your guidance, Master Huanhai."

"Hehe, please give me more advice."

Genkai seemed very gentle. She smiled and nodded at Shizuku, then turned around and walked forward.

"Come with me."

"……?"

Although she was a little confused, Shizuku shrugged her shoulders and followed Genkai into the depths of the temple.

But then again, time is really a butcher's knife.

Looking at the skinny old woman in front of her, Shizuku couldn't help but sigh. One of the most exciting scenes in "Yu Yu Hakusho" is the rejuvenation of Genkai. According to the setting, when the inheritor of the Hadouken uses his power, the body cells will be instantly activated, and then the user will return to his peak state. So Genkai's appearance as a legitimate loli when she was rejuvenated really killed many readers.

Look at her current skinny appearance... Although all old people are like this, it is still sad to compare her with when she was young.

"You must be curious as to why I want to see you."

At this moment, Genkai was walking forward with his hands behind his back while speaking, while Shizuku shrugged her shoulders.

"Master, please enlighten me."

"Hehe, on the one hand, Yusuke sees you as his rival, and on the other hand, it's because of Lu Yulu... You should be familiar with him."

"……?"

"As for me, I recently saw him in a dream. He has planned to atone for his sins, but before that he told me that he encountered a powerful force that he could not resist no matter what. That power completely shattered his beliefs. He once thought that as long as he transformed into a monster, power would be within his reach... But unfortunately, the facts do not seem to be the case..."

“…”

I'm OO you fucking Lu Yulu, you actually came to Huanhai in a dream to complain about me? Are you a man?

"I became interested in you at that time, and later I learned from Yusuke that he actually targeted you... Hehehe, I became even more interested in you."

“…”

If she wasn't the protagonist, Shizuku would turn around and bury Yusuke alive right now.

Although there is no point in burying him alive.

At this moment, the two of them had already walked through the corridor and arrived at the courtyard in the back mountain. Then Huanhai stopped and turned around.

"According to my observation, you are just an ordinary high school student. I can't see any special powers. But I think Lu Yulu will not lie to me, so... show me your strength and let me see how powerful it is to break Lu Yulu's confidence."

"Well……"

"What's wrong?"

"I'm not saying that, Master Huanhai..."

Shizuku hesitated for a moment, but finally decided to tell the truth.

"You are too fragile. If I use a little more force, you might die."

"Ha ha ha ha."

However, these seemingly impolite words did not make Huanhai angry. Instead, she laughed happily.

"That's true. If even Lu Yulu, who sold his soul to gain strength, can't defeat this opponent, then it's really too difficult for an old woman like me."

Having said that, Huanhai's expression suddenly became serious.

"So, can I give it my all?"

"please."

Shizuku made a gesture and then just stood there, motionless.

Then, Huanhai stared at her and raised his right hand. Soon, a huge amount of spiritual energy emerged from Huanhai's body and condensed into a huge existence like a cannonball.

"drink--!!!"

With a roar from Huanhai, a huge spirit ball whizzed out and shot directly at Shizuku. Shizuku just stood there, staring at the spirit ball in front of her. Then she saw the spirit ball hit her directly and exploded completely.

"boom!!!"

A wave like a grenade explosion appeared instantly, and Genkai's face was pale and sweaty. He slowly put down his right hand and looked forward. Then a breeze swept by, blowing away the smoke and dust around. Then, Shizuku, who looked exactly the same as before, appeared in front of Genkai again without any damage.

"Hahaha, as expected, this kind of strength is just like a monster. No wonder Lu Yulu gave up."

Looking at Shizuku in front of her, Genkai smiled bitterly. Of course she knew what she had done... Strictly speaking, she had done nothing. She just stood there and took her blow head-on. It was that simple. But she had used all her strength to attack, but she couldn't even break her clothes?

For Shizuku, it was that simple.

After this fight that wasn't really a physical fight, Genkai took Shizuku to the tea room next door and poured her tea.

Then she looked at Shizuku and made her request.

"I hope you can participate in the upcoming KOF tournament."

"Participating in that? I'm not interested."

"A grand gathering of fighters from all over the world, aren't you interested?"

"To me, they are just guys that can be killed in one go."

Shizuku shrugged.

"Besides, I'm not a fighter or a martial artist, so I don't have much enthusiasm for this kind of competition. It's fine for me to watch the fun from the sidelines, but I'm not interested in performing on stage."

"In fact, Yusuke is preparing to compete."

"oh?"

"That kid has great potential, but he always lacks a sense of tension. Perhaps it's because of his previous lazy life. It's hard for him to really take things seriously. So, I hope to give him some small stimulation."

"If you mean opponents, there should be people stronger than Urameshi Yusuke in KOF."

It would be fine if it was just a simple fighting tournament, but there are more monsters than people in KOF. Shizuku doesn't believe that Urameshi Yusuke can defeat Kyo Kusanagi and Iori Yagami. He is lucky not to be beaten by these two guys.

"What that kid needs is not an opponent, but a target."

Huanhai shook his head.

"Anyone who wants to become stronger needs a goal, but he doesn't have that goal now, which is different from having an opponent to defeat. It's not enough to be stronger than him, because that will only stir up his fighting spirit. He will only set his goal on defeating the opponent, but after defeating the opponent, he will return to that dazed state."

"It seems you are right."

Hearing what Genkai said, Shizuku touched her chin and nodded. I remember that in the original story, Urameshi Yusuke only received a round of basic training in the Spirit Light Hadoken and then went back to live his life leisurely. If it weren't for Lu Yulu appearing in front of him, making Urameshi Yusuke feel a sense of crisis, I'm afraid he wouldn't have taken the initiative to find Genkai for special training.

To put it bluntly, this guy is a donkey. He won't move forward unless you hit him.

Of course, if there is a clear goal, Urameshi Yusuke will still work hard, but those are short-term goals. For people like Lu Yulu, once they are defeated, they lose motivation. And Genkai's intention is obviously to find a "life goal" for Urameshi Yusuke.

"Why do you become strong? What do you pursue after you become strong? This is the goal of every fighter. Lu Yulu took the wrong path, but I don't want that kid to make the same mistake. However, no matter what, that kid will make his own choice."

"But aren't you afraid that I will beat him to a pulp? And make him completely autistic?"

Shizuku would never let go of the chance to teach Yusuke a lesson, but she still had to get the consent of her guardian. She was also very curious. If she beat Yusuke into autism, would Genkai come to trouble her? After all, one's own business is one's own business. With Shizuku's strength, she has basically no rivals in this world. She can crush anyone she beats. Even if Urameshi Yusuke was resurrected from the dead and awakened his demon bloodline and practiced for 100 million years, he could still be crushed to death by Shizuku's finger. This is a gap in dimensions. No matter how much practice he does, it will be useless.

What if the other party gives up on himself after learning this, becomes a homeless person who drinks all day to drown his sorrows, and then shouts "This meal is so disgusting" at home, overturns the table, and beats and scolds his wife? Although this is not his fault...

"Hehe, I believe this kid is not that fragile. If he gives up just because of this, then he will not be qualified to be the successor of the Spirit Light Hadoken."

Obviously, Genkai had thought about this a long time ago. After hearing Shizuku's question, she just laughed and gave an answer.

When Shizuku heard Genkai's answer, she raised her eyebrows.

Now that you say that, I feel relieved.
