[Comprehensive] The Light Chaser

Nioh's mind went blank.

Although he wanted to say that he didn't even know how he lost, Nioh just sat on the ground panting.

Ah, don't hit another ball now, it will really become a shadow of life if it is really disfigured.Thinking of this, he felt a little depressed for a while.

The most important thing is that he actually knows perfectly well that the Byodoin Institute has not done its best.And what is the bottom line of this person's strength?At least with his current ability, he still can't force out Byodoin's cards, so he doesn't know.

It's ugly, me.

Byodoin put away the racket, glanced at Nioh, but said nothing.

He took two steps outside the field, and said to the human who was watching the game: "What are you still doing there? Don't you plan to do today's practice?!"

"Don't be so fierce, you scared the younger generation." Taneshima waved his hand, "How about two rounds of black and white matching to put out the fire first?"

"...Who is in the mood to play black and white with you." Byodoin said coldly.

He glanced at the junior high school students who didn't have a good face, and didn't care what these junior high school students were thinking, just snorted and urged: "Group A enters the field, and group B is on the side field. Coach Kurobe's The training sheet is still the same, at four o'clock in the afternoon, Taneshima, Watanabe, you time."

He left after saying that.

Taneshima sighed helplessly: "Hey, hey, you are the head coach."

no respond.

Watanabe shook his head: "Basic training only needs to be supervised. The boss is impatient. He will come back when the group practice."

"Then why did he come to the stadium early in the morning? Just to play a game?" After finishing speaking, Taneshima pointed to the stadium.

Niwang had already stood up at this time.

His face didn't look very good, his face was pale and there was cold sweat on his forehead, he looked like he was exhausted, but he still went to the sidelines to put on the weight again.

Yukimura opened the door and walked into the stadium, approached and asked in a low voice, "Are you all right?"

Niwang shook his head.

Thanks to this game, the relationship between middle school students and high school students is a bit awkward.

For example, Taneshima, he could have hundreds of ways to get closer to the middle school students, but he couldn't improve the dull atmosphere caused by a game.At this time, should we still count on our international friend Duke?

He turned his head and glanced at the Maitreya-like Duke, and he had nothing to say about their No.1.

And when the basic training of junior high school students was over at [-]:[-] p.m. and there was no one left at Byodoin, Tanejima really couldn't bear it anymore.

"He really doesn't plan to show his face?" He turned his head and asked Watanabe, "Where's the agreed-upon head coach?"

"You also know that he was called by the coach, and he was reluctant." Watanabe said.

Taneshima: "...Ah, so you just leave it to me?"

"You are No.2, Taneshima." Watanabe said with a smile.

At the end of training, the junior high school students went to the cafeteria together.

Yukimura was a little worried about Nioh during the day, and asked again at this time: "Are you really okay?"

"Huh? It's okay."

"Tennis hit my stomach..."

"Senior has a sense of propriety." King Ren couldn't help laughing when he saw the disapproval on the faces of the others after he finished speaking.He stretched out his hand and stared at it for a while: "Senior Byodoin is really my hardest style. Let Sanada try it next time? Or Kirihara?"

"Tch, it sounds like you can fight if you want." Echizen said.

Nioh glanced at him, then glanced at Sanada again: "Didn't you guys play against him on the mountain?"

Echizen: "..."

Sanada: "..."

on the mountain?

Such painful memories...

Sanada pressed the brim of his hat: "It's too slack!"

After dinner, Nioh went to find Sanada alone.

"What's the matter?" Sanada asked puzzled.

"Competition." Nioh looked over Sanada's shoulder to the room behind him.Echizen, Feng, Yuta, and Wakatohiro lived in the same dormitory. People who were not very familiar with each other were in the same room and were looking for some unnutritious topics to talk about.

Nioh lowered his voice: "Did I lose today's game?"

"..." Sanada looked at him.

"The rules that have been negotiated must be followed, but I don't mind being here." King Ni turned his gaze back again, and he met Sanada's gaze, "Find a place where there is no one?"

Sanada, do you want to take the initiative to come to me for this matter?

"I'm fine with it," he said.

He went back to the room, changed his clothes and took the racket, so his roommate thought that he and Nioh had an appointment to go out for special training at night.

Nioh leads the way.

He is already very familiar with this training camp, including where it is relatively remote and where people may come.

He simply stopped behind the indoor tennis court.

Sanada didn't hesitate when he raised his hand.

Snapped!

To be honest, this scene is a bit funny, no matter the place or the people, so Nioh couldn't help laughing after being hit.

Sanada frowned helplessly: "What the hell are you thinking?"

"It's nothing." Niwang pressed his face, "Honestly speaking, are you surprised? I came to you for this matter."

"Yes, very surprised." Sanada nodded directly.

King Ren glanced at him: "I'm also surprised, you didn't mention this on the spot."

How shameless would it be to mention this on the spot?

This is not at my own school, there are even senior high school students watching around.Besides...

"Actually, this game is considered 'excusable', you don't have to." Sanada said, "In that case, it is very difficult to win."

"Puri? That's not something you would say."

"But when this rule was first proposed, it didn't take into account the special situation of the training camp." After Sanada finished speaking, he paused and lowered his voice, "I also lost to you on the first day."

"...Are you telling me to call back?"

"Ah."

Sanada agreed.

Niwang was stunned for two seconds and then blinked.

The location he was looking for was not well lit, but he could see Sanada's expression clearly from his location.The expression on the face of a person who has always been serious but is always teased by his teammates in inexplicable places without knowing it is also very sincere.Nioh vaguely wanted to tease this kind of sincerity, but couldn't say a word of teasing.He thinks what are we doing, it's so black and blind...

"Come on, I have to go to the gym after I'm done," Sanada said.

Niwang licked the stinging corner of his mouth, and said helplessly, "Can you not make it as simple as tying your shoelaces?"

"Ok?"

"I haven't done it before, let me do some psychological construction."

Sanada: "... Mental building? I thought you wanted to do this for a long time. Hit me or something."

"Ha, don't slander people indiscriminately. I really want to fight with you, but fighting and beating someone without a backhand are two different things." King Ni confirmed that he and Sanada were still at odds.

He hesitated for a moment, but raised his hand anyway.

Snapped!

Worse, this is more like a farce.

Nioh thought.

When he and Sanada walked out of that corner together, there was an atmosphere of embarrassment visible to the naked eye, until the two of them barely separated after walking for a while.

This kind of embarrassment even made Sanada lower the brim of his hat to hide his own modest expression.

He endured the farewell at the corner and was about to go to the gym to suppress his shock.

Then a person came out from the corner: "Sanada."

Sanada was startled.He stopped and raised his head, feeling a little helpless: "... Yukimura."

"I'm quite worried about you guys, but it looks like I don't need to worry anymore?" Yukimura tilted his head.

Sanada took another step: "Worry? It's not me who needs to worry more."

"Are you talking about King Ni? On the contrary, I think his current state is fine."

"Yukimura! He's like this..." Sanada raised his head.He frowned to look at Yukimura, but met Yukimura's smiling gaze, and was discouraged for a moment, "Do you think he's okay? It's so abnormal..."

"Indeed, what he's showing now doesn't look like what 'Masaharu Nioh' would do. But how much did we know about him?" Yukimura looked at Sanada, "From the point of view of the tennis club and tennis, his changes The advantages outweigh the disadvantages.”

"I do not understand you……"

"Sanada, you can get to know Nioh again." Yukimura said.

Sanada couldn't express his concern.

He meant that he and Niwang had known each other for more than two years, and he really didn't understand what kind of person Niwang was, but was it really okay to change so quickly in a short period of time?

In that case, is it still a "fraudster"?

"Are you thinking too highly of Nioh?" All the worries were gathered together and it became this sentence.

Looking at Sanada's unnatural expression, Yukimura read the subtext behind this sentence.

"He can." Yukimura said, out of some inexplicable trust, "From your point of view, shouldn't you think such a change is very good?"

Sanada: No, I almost suspect that Yagyu is pretending to be him.

This Renwang didn't know that the minister and vice minister had a disagreement because of him.

He was relieved after walking a certain distance alone, and then felt a little hot on his face.

what the hell...

He raised his hand to touch the place where he had been beaten.

"You actually have such an expression." The white fox who suddenly appeared sneered unceremoniously.

King Ni glanced at it, ignored him, and just walked to the place where he had confirmed a few days ago that there would be no one.

The white fox jumped and stood on his shoulder: "You lost the game?"

"I'll win next time," Nioh said.

The white fox wagged its tail: "It's good to think so. I was afraid you would say, 'I can't beat Byodoin-senpai'."

King Ren twitched his lips: "Forget it, I have a chance to win, don't I?"

It's just that he was intimidated by the aura of Byodoin at the beginning, and lost his own rhythm. In the end, he didn't even make his choice firmly to the end. It's normal to lose.

If not, he wouldn't have gone to Sanada.

He could indeed find many excuses to escape this "iron fist sanction", but he was in such a bad mood and pushed his responsibility to other factors.Winning or losing is very simple. If you lose, you lose. There are no excuses.

The way he behaved during the game, I feel terrible in retrospect.

"Senior Byodoin didn't use all its strength." Nioh said this, with a feeling of unwillingness, "At least I can act a little more threatening."

"Empty talk is useless, young man," said the white fox.

Feng Liang's tone was really harsh, and King Ren grabbed the white fox by the tail: "Have you said enough?"

"Are you taking it easy on me?"

"...Can I do it?" King Ren rolled his eyes, "Isn't everything that happened so far under your control?"

The white fox pursed his lips.

It didn't refute, but it didn't admit it either. It just curled its tail and hooked Nio's wrist in comfort: "Now that you have awakened, let's work harder. I hope you win, and you don't want to lose either." Bar?"

Nioh: "..."

He pursed his lips, stopped at the place he had found, then took out his phone and went to Honmaru.

The person who disappeared out of thin air did not panic the white fox.

He landed lightly on the ground, raised his head and glanced at the moon.

A few minutes later, another person came from the direction of the training camp.

Blonde hair, headband, unshaven beard, and tanned face.

The white fox took two steps forward and raised his head: "Are you really not taking care of yourself?"

The people who came over looked at him coldly.

"I think you should be more polite to me." White Fox said, "I assume this is your assessment, and I'm your assessment scorer?"

"Hmph, hasn't the assessment started yet?" Byodoin said flatly.

"But the pre-test items and the attitude towards the examiner can also be included in the scoring items." White Fox said, "The image is also."

"The monster still cares about people's attire? You have the same aesthetics as us?" Byodoin smiled maliciously.

The white fox tilted his head: "I think you should change your attitude towards me. Your assessment hasn't officially started yet, are you not afraid that I will give you small shoes to wear? Lord Phoenix of Byodoin Temple."

Byodoin was silent for a few seconds.

"You are the number one heir of the generation of the Byodoin family," said the white fox.

The Court of Equality sneered: "If you fail the assessment, it's not."

"You can't passively resist just because you don't want to be a monk. In addition to determining the position of the heir, the assessment also determines the resources that the Byodoin family will give to each heir candidate in the next ten years." The white fox flicked his tail, "Or are you really Going to be an ordinary person? That's really violent."

Byodoin narrowed its eyes.He looked at the white fox: "Okay, stop pretending to be a good person. Isn't your purpose, that brat?"

"Yeah, that's right."

"Then as long as I complete the transaction..."

"Phoenix Lord of Byodoin Temple, I am the examiner, and I will be fair, fair, and just~" the white fox said.

fair and just?

This word itself is a joke in the so-called heir assessment!

Byodoin showed a bored expression.He turned his head sideways: "Are you really going to let that kid go to the Dark Martial Arts Conference?"

"Yeah, I even chose my teammates."

Byodoin: "... a reliable teammate? I don't want to take my children along the way."

"This is also one of the contents of your assessment. The Byodoin family must be 'compassionate', right?"

Byodoin snorted: "I don't understand, why do you have to let this brat enter that world? This is not a child's pretend play, it will kill people! He hasn't had that kind of consciousness yet, has he? He is protected Nice kid..."

"But this is his fate." The white fox said, "I don't refute the greenhouse. But, making him conscious is one of the contents of your assessment, isn't it? Mr. Byodoin, don't try to be lazy."

Byodoin narrowed its eyes.

He turned his head back to look at the white fox.

The big monster, who can be described as petite and cute, has restrained all his demonic aura, but there is still a bit of magic in his eyes.

"Who the hell are you?" said the Byodoin Institute.

The "big monster" who can sit opposite his grandfather at Byodo-in's house while drinking tea and playing shogi is almost a guest... Who is it?He was even invited to be the examiner for the assessment of this generation of heirs...

"Me? Just an ordinary monster." White Fox said.

An ordinary, 200-year-old demon fox who has lived for more than [-] years, but has never passed its infancy, and is running away from home.

Byodoin had already left when Nioh returned from Honmaru.

He had used too much spiritual power today, and being drawn by Honwan again, his whole body was almost hollowed out, so he staggered a bit when he came out of Honwan.

The white fox didn't help him, so he squatted on the side of the road and said coolly: "It's too weak."

"You don't need to remind me." King Ni said.

He picked up the tennis bag: "Work tonight?"

"You have a good rest today." The white fox said.

Nioh looked at him suspiciously.

The white fox flicked his tail calmly: "Tomorrow's work content will be more serious, I hope you will be mentally prepared."

……severe?

Isn't this job similar to the job of "monster volunteer"?

This idea was overturned when King Ren met Byodoin the next day.

Seeing the white fox greet Byodoin with familiarity, he felt the heartache of being betrayed: "Ya-chan! You actually..."

"This is foreign aid." White Fox said.

foreign aid?

Niwang couldn't help but go to see Byodoin.

After getting off the court, this senior was much more indifferent.He glanced at King Ni, not knowing what to think, and looked away again.

Nioh: Senior, you can't do this, what do you want to say?I'm panicked when you don't say a word.

"Do you know what the Byodoin family does?" asked the white fox.

Nioh let out a cry, first thinking of the shrine, and then of the pattern printed on the Japanese yen.Byodoin... Byodoin Phoenix Hall?

Speaking of which, wasn't it a great monk who suggested him to find Byodoin at the beginning?

"Temple?" he hesitated.

"Yes, so killing demons and demons is also one of their responsibilities." White Fox said.

His tone was relaxed and humorous, but Nioh only felt a huge sense of disobedience.

To be honest, it is against harmony to put the four words of killing demons and demons on Byodoin.Isn't this person black even in another dimension or a pirate...

"Today can be regarded as the regularization assessment of your spiritual detective." White Fox said, "I also specially found foreign aid. It's a serious job of exterminating demons. I won't help you this time."

Nioh: Turn regular?Wait, there's really such a thing as rectification?And did you help me?What about foreign aid?

"A case." The white fox explained as he led the way, "Did I say it before? Detectives in the spirit world are equivalent to the 'police' in the monster world. This time it was the flower demons who reported the case, saying that many of their companions disappeared. Yes, a distress signal came. But the people who went to rescue also disappeared. The spiritual world and several demon families, including well-known temples, have been investigating this matter for a while, and now the suspect's location has been locked. "

He glanced at King Ni: "Don't be nervous, this is also a cooperation case, you represent the spirit world, and Byodoin Phoenix Lord is the representative of the Byodoin family, and there will be a demon master joining later."

"...Remove the demon?"

"No, it's not certain yet, the culprit of this matter is only monsters."

What does it mean?

King Ren vaguely guessed, but couldn't believe it.

He thought, does the world of monsters overlap with the world of humans?

But that's the way it is, isn't it?Otherwise, what is this white fox that has been following her all the time?And if I...will become a monster in the future, can other human beings also become monsters?

At first he could use his imagination, but gradually he could only concentrate on the journey.

They probably crossed a district, from the east of Tokyo to the south.

The smell of spiritual power became very strong, all kinds of spiritual power.

King Ni raised his vigilance, he accelerated the speed of spiritual power, but it did not reach the level where it could be displayed outside the body.

They stopped in a place similar to an enchantment.

Nioh had only seen enchantments in books.

The strands of spiritual power woven into arrays can be vaguely seen in the air, and it seems to be just a normal night sky in a flash.He marveled at the subtlety of this enchantment, and held back all his reactions.

Can't you look like a layman who has never seen the market?

He was faintly agitated, but his rationality told him that he shouldn't be like this.

But why?

Eliminating demons...should be justice, right?

They waited for a while before the enchantment.

"Excuse me, am I late?"

King Ni followed the prestige and showed a surprised expression.

Natori Monday?If I remember correctly... this is a star, right?My sister likes him very much and has collected a lot of posters and postcards.

When he was surprised, Natori had already approached, and the white fox went up to meet him: "No, we came early."

"It's good that you're not late." Najib said with a smile.

He glanced at Byodoin: "This is the Byodoin family..."

Byodoin snorted: "No, I'm just a helper."

"Is that so? Then..." Natori turned his head on Monday.When he saw King Ni, he showed a hesitant expression: "...a minor?"

Nioh: ...

"Senior is also a minor." He pointed to Byodoin.

Byodoin Phoenix: "..."

"Minors?!" Natori glanced at Byodoin on Monday, "...wait a minute, this is a serious exorcism activity, right? And the commission level is A-level."

"Yes, that's right." The white fox replied.

"Is it okay to let two minors come?!" Natori raised his voice on Monday.

The white fox narrowed his eyes: "No problem, I'm here."

Natori looked down at the white fox on Monday, his eyes swept from the white fox's snow-white ears to its snow-white tail.He couldn't comment on the white fox Samoyed's appearance, he could only persuade himself that it was an S-rank monster, and if it said it was okay, it would be fine.

but……

Even if there are S-level monsters following along, with two minors, one of them can be seen as a novice, how can it be okay!
