Chapter 21 refers to the Ring Wars (Part 7)
After having a free meal at the Yamamoto family dojo, Yokawa Rei came here to watch Yamamoto Takeshi train.
The boy was eager to win, and coupled with his two previous losses, if he could win this match, everyone could relax a bit.
But his opponent was Squalo, a man whose swordsmanship and experience surpassed that of most swordsmen.
Yamamoto Takeshi is used to keeping his worries and pressures to himself, and Yokawa Rei doesn't want a repeat of the rooftop incident and Gokudera Hayato 2.0.
With these concerns in mind, she arrived at the temple.
"Little Ling, won't you get bored practicing swordsmanship with me here?"
Yamamoto Takeshi sat down next to Yokawa Rei, wiping the sweat from his forehead with a towel as he asked.
From morning till evening, she had watched the sword moves no less than a hundred times. For a lively and active elf, sitting here all the time was an incredible thing.
The girl twitched her fingertips slightly, summoning a gentle breeze to caress his face and relieve the heat from his exercise.
Upon hearing this, Yao Chuanling rested her chin on her hand and said earnestly, "No, that won't happen. A-Wu will stay with me when I'm unhappy, won't he?"
She knew that when she was feeling down because she missed her loved ones in the other world, it was always Takeshi Yamamoto who was the first to notice, but he would never say anything, only finding the perfect excuse to attract her attention.
"Well... you knew all along." Yamamoto Takeshi twirled the bamboo sword in his hand and said softly, "I thought I had hidden it well."
As if speaking casually, Yamamoto Takeshi changed the subject before she could answer.
Beyond schools of thought.
How can one transcend different schools of thought?
Until the match, Takeshi Yamamoto was still at a loss about this problem.
It seems there are more people at this match than before. Besides Hibari Kyoya, who doesn't like to gather in groups, Gokudera Hayato, who is wrapped up like a mummy, there is also the Mist Guardian group spying from afar.
The other side's leader, who rarely appears, was also present.
I saw him when I went to eat there today.
Yokawa Rei turned his gaze away and looked around Gokudera Hayato with amazement.
Wow! The mummy has come to life!
She snapped a few close-up photos of him.
She still has the energy to jump around, so it seems she's recovered quite well.
He should suffer more to learn his lesson.
While they were joking around, the two guards from Yu Shouzhan had already entered the building.
After being modified by Cerberus, the teaching building has become a waterfall. As the two fight, the water level gradually rises, and at a certain point, the sharks in the cage will move at the smell of blood.
Whether it was Shiyu Cangyanliu or Squalo's shark sword technique, both were perfectly suited to this watery environment, and Yaochuan Ling watched them intently.
She played a match against Squalo and occasionally offered her commentary.
Upon hearing Squalo mention the eighth form of the Shigure Soen-ryu, Autumn Rain, the two, one inside the screen and one outside, exchanged knowing smiles.
Having spent the entire day training with Yamamoto Takeshi, Yokawa Rei knew that the eighth technique he had learned was not Autumn Rain, but rather the one he was currently using—Shōtsuru Rain.
Reborn sits on Dino's shoulders and provides live commentary.
For the Shiyu Cangyan School, inheritance means innovation. In this competition, its ninth-generation successor carried on the tradition and created the ninth style, Reflecting Rain.
Squalo was defeated.
It's simply unbelievable that a seasoned assassin could be defeated by a novice.
XANXUS couldn't help but burst into laughter.
And this flamboyant yet dry laughter rang out once again after Squalo threw himself into the belly of the fish.
I never imagined that the meal I went to freeload today would become my last supper.
Yao Chuanling thought with some regret.
We have lost a great cook.
If he were alive, he might be able to get along with A-Wu.
She felt that Squalo's last words had a guiding tone.
“Abandon naivety.”
No, that won't do.
She was captivated by such innocence.
XANXUS remained silent, sitting on the throne, seemingly lost in thought.
It is speculated that the leader of Varia had a strained relationship with Squalo, who was in charge of the leadership, and that Squalo had been acting as leader for the eight years that XANXUS was missing.
But for a much longer period, from the moment the young Sword Emperor first met the successor to the leader, he followed him without hesitation.
Until this moment, the karmic ties have come to an end.
*
You seem a little sad.
Yao Chuanling yawned and followed XANXUS listlessly.
Having spent the last few days with Varia, she found the group quite interesting, so she specifically informed Hibari Kyoya that she would be staying at Varia's place for one night.
It seems so, a bit.
Look how tactful her choice of words is.
XANXUS scoffed: "Sad? Such a weak emotion would never come to me."
He pinched Yao Chuanling's cheeks with his hands, his dark red eyes revealing an unreadable emotion.
She snapped out of her daze for a moment and met those eyes that were the color of red wine.
Yao Chuanling didn't feel anything when he pinched her face, or rather, she was already used to it.
This often happens in early childhood.
Besides Izanami and Seimei-sensei, those two great demons from the western lands also took it upon themselves to wreak havoc on her every time they met.
They had absolutely no intention of resisting.
"Okay, okay, I got it."
It has been confirmed that he has defeated Hibari Kyoya and Rokudo Mukuro, becoming the current top hypocrite.
She patted XNAXUS, signaling him to let go.
"Join Varia."
The leader, who was always arrogant and looked down on others, extended an invitation for the first time.
Bell and Mammon looked at XANXUS, expressing their incomprehension of their boss's idea.
This guy doesn't seem like the type to become a member of the mafia at all.
Besides, she's on Sawada Tsunayoshi's side.
etc.
So why did they have contact with Sawada Tsunayoshi's people?
Mammon discovered the blind spot.
"No way."
She rejected Reborn and Rokudo Mukuro, so she naturally wouldn't agree to this olive branch that she had only known for a few days, and although they got along well, they were on opposing sides.
not to mention……
The elven girl raised her eyebrows, exuding an air of unbridled pride: "I am forever free."
She is like the wind that cannot be contained, wandering to any corner she desires to go.
In some ways, she and Hibari Kyoya are the same kind of people.
"The people around Sawada Tsunayoshi are just as naive and ridiculous as him."
XANXUS is unpredictable; I don't know what I stepped on, but he inexplicably threw out some sarcastic remarks and walked into the room.
Those around him were used to his unpredictable moods, and most of the time, his mood was like a stormy day. Bell and Mammon remained calm and composed.
Bell swung his knife, pulling at the obviously out-of-focus sleepyhead.
"Hehehe, let's go quickly, the prince is also sleepy."
Mamon floated quietly behind them, his eyes filled with complex emotions.
This child is in great danger.
He had never seen anyone get along so well with this group of oddballs in just a few days.
Alcbareno touched the pacifier that was sealed with a chain.
Tomorrow is his home game. Having witnessed the cruelty of the game, he will do everything he can to save his life.
"Then I wish you eternal freedom."
Finally, the cursed Child of Mist drifted back to his room.
