Tokyo Ghost Diary

However, although he has superb sword skills and exquisite sword moves, he lacks actual combat experience. At least for a person like Hoshino Gen who has been walking on the edge of the boundary between life and death all year round, Sasaki Ayane's combat experience is still too immature.

The knife net fell, Hoshino Gen used his strength to break the spell, and the blade slashed horizontally - no matter how dazzling the knife net weaved by Sasaki Ayane was, there is no doubt that these are the visual afterimages left by the excessive speed. There is only one true blade.

Clang——!

The sound of gold and iron echoed throughout the venue, and two identical standard swords collided together.

However, Ayane Sasaki had obviously expected it. From the beginning, she did not believe that Gen Hoshino would be defeated by her in person. In other words, she had only witnessed the battle between her fiancé and her grandfather a few days ago.

Although grandpa won in the end, this guy was able to leave a knife wound on grandpa's neck. She asked herself that she would never be able to do that.

Even though her grandfather made the opponent wear a ring that seemed to be able to block special abilities before the battle, Ayane Sasaki's first impression of Gen Hoshino had already taken root in her mind.

Even if the opponent blocked his special ability, she still felt that it would be difficult for her to defeat Hoshino Gen. The only chance to win might even be to delay the defense and wait for Hoshino Gen to run out of energy. After all, she remembered that Hoshino Gen's physical strength was not very good. This was mentioned earlier. She learned about it when she met Gen Hoshino running in the gym that day.

Because of this, when her grandfather asked her to teach Hoshino Gen's sword skills in the hospital before, she was so understanding and couldn't...

However, after several rounds of collisions, Sasaki Ayane realized something was wrong.

She discovered that although Hoshino Gen's instant explosive power was very powerful, in other aspects, he seemed to be inferior to her...

Is it because you haven't recovered from the injury?

Sasaki Ayane used her sword to deflect a katana attack from Gen Hoshino, and then swung it horizontally across Ichimonji, and the blade stopped in front of Gen Hoshino's neck.

... Sasaki Ayane was speechless. She could see that Hoshino Gen's sword skills were really superficial. Although she had rich combat experience such as force exertion skills, for her whose physical fitness was completely superior to that of her opponent, it was difficult to defeat her. It is really easy for Hoshino Gen in this state.

"Haha! How about it, boy, are you convinced?" Shinichiro Sasaki on the other side laughed proudly.

Sasaki Ayane silently retracted the knife in front of Hoshino Gen's neck, while Hoshino Gen on the opposite side had a calm face, and even an imperceptible smile. Naturally, he had expected such a result, otherwise he would I won't be here today either.

From the current point of view, he has come to the right place. If he can have sword skills like Ayane Sasaki, then without the constraints of the superpower lock, he will have no shortcomings. Even with his other abilities, he will be able to compete with him by then. If Shinichiro Sasaki tries his best, it probably won't be a big problem.

However, what is more important at the moment is, how long will it take for him to reach the level of Sasaki Ayane?

"Cough cough cough... cough cough!" Hoshino Gen suddenly coughed violently for a while, and blood oozed from the side of his abdominal cavity.

Although he used the White Water Talisman to speed up his body's recovery, it was impossible for him to recover so quickly. After such a strenuous exercise, it was normal for the wound to be torn.

Sasaki Ayane's eyes changed. She paused and said, "I'm going to get the medicine box."

After saying that, she was about to leave, but Gen Hoshino interrupted her. He smiled politely and said, "No need to worry."

While speaking, Hoshino Gen had already used a magnetic card to unlock the power lock on his right wrist, and took out a talisman from his waist and pasted it on the wound on his side.

Not long after, a stream of clear water flowed through, the blood stains disappeared completely, and there was no more new blood overflowing from the wound.

"Okay, that's it for today. You kid, this body is not such a mess." Sasaki Shinichiro said in a tone that looked like he couldn't stand it anymore.

Hoshino Gen glanced at him but didn't say anything. With his current physical condition, this was indeed a bit nonsense.

"It doesn't look like you want to live here. Let's do this. From now on, come here and fight with Ayane-chan every afternoon. With your combat experience and ability, it should be the most efficient way to absorb nutrients through actual combat. It’s a way to improve... As for now, go ahead and do whatever you want, I’ve had lunch here and I won’t keep you for dinner.”

This sounds a lot like driving people away, but in fact it should be driving people away.

Gen Hoshino smiled, said goodbye politely to Ayane Sasaki, then put down the knife in his hand and turned to leave.

Shinichiro Sasaki is right. At his level, the best way to improve combat effectiveness is not to start from the time-consuming and laborious practice of basic skills. A sparring partner with a sufficient level is better than anything else.

Gen Hoshino was extremely satisfied with his visit to Sasaki's house.

......

"Well, okay, I understand, Sister Mingxiang, there will be no problem, that's it, bye~"

In front of the gate of her villa, Kiryu Ruoye spoke energetically to Asara Mingxiang on the phone. When a busy tone of "beep" sounded on the phone, the lively smile on her face was revealed. He couldn't help but gradually shrink away.

She looked up at the beautiful villa in front of her in the bustling area of ​​the city, took a deep breath, and after a few seconds, the smile on her face bloomed again, and then she reached out to verify her fingerprints and pushed open the door of the villa.

"I'm back--"

She said in a light tone.

"Welcome back, miss." She was greeted by the voice of the nanny who was cleaning the escalator. She responded to the nanny with a smile, put on her cute furry slippers, and walked up the stairs to go back to her room on the second floor.

It seems that my father and mother are not at home, maybe at the company.

Kiryu Ruoye didn't care, and even felt relieved.

But when she passed her father and mother's room on the second floor, she heard her father's angry shouts inside, saying, "Are you done with this bastard!?" "So what if you just send the video to the police?!" "Let me catch you, believe it or not, I will make you evaporate?!" and other words with unclear meaning.

There was no other sound in the room, most likely someone on the phone.

Kiryu Ruoye did a little analysis and immediately guessed that something about his father had fallen into the hands of someone else and was captured on video. The other person was probably using that information to blackmail his father into giving him benefits, and he also hid it. Where my father cannot be found...

Blackmail?

Kiryu Ruoye sighed boredly and was about to go straight back to the room, but at this moment her father suddenly opened the door to the room.

It was a middle-aged man with a handsome face. He was talking on the phone and opened the door. The moment he saw Kiryu Ruoye outside the door, he immediately picked up the phone and hung up the call.

Then he asked Kiryu Ruoye, who was a little confused, in an unnatural tone: "Is it Ruoye? School ends so early today?"
