Chapter 17 - APPRECIATION

"Wh-What the titan ape, if that's so then you guys are lucky it did not kill you guys did you all anger it in some way, anyway make sure that none of the kids go to the forest for any a while," said Flander with a hand on his chin contemplating something.

"Yes yes, man I was so scared when I had to confront the couple, they are a wretched couple is all I can say to you, thankfully, Kyuuji was there or else I would have no way of fighting them back and they would have crippled Tangsan," said Acala

"Well...even of Kyuuji did not act, nothing would happen to Tang San," said Grandmaster you to which the others on the table showed a surprised expression

"Oh! How so, is he some hidden young master of a powerful clan or something" said Flander in mockery clearly thinking that the grandmaster was just starting around the power of his student.

"When the hammer falls Hao kills the hall shakes and blood flows, the skies roar and Hao roars....do you recognize this folktale," said grandmaster with his one eye closed

During his tie with Tang San, he had come to know of his father as he was personally visited by him and despite the Tang hao's warning he still decided to give flander a hint about the boy's true identity.

The teacup in Flanders's hand breaks as it falls on the ground, spilling its content, "Tang...Tang hao...Tang San..tang hao...Tang San.....tang hao...Tang San you mean to say that" Flander said nothing more as he closed his mouth shut not daring to speak the devils name, the same devil that was actually sitting right behind their table drinking sake.

===================================

"What are all of you doing!?" said cane with question marks hanging above his head

"What does it look like to you...getting ready for a meal....maybe you would also et something if you had any semblance of time," said Kyuuji in a half-angry mood

Cane had started training the night they returned while everyone was in a not so good mood since yesterday, Tangsan was acting weird, Xiao wu was also sad about something, Oscar was also not joking around....overall every single thing was getting on his nerves, and that included Cane as well.....The events of yesterday had left him in a sour and panicked mood. Previously Cane would never miss his sleep time and would wake up early but this time he had snuck off during the night for training.

"Boss Ji, hahaha don't be so mad, I just wanted to train some more than usual," said Cane as he ruffled his hair in a scared way

This caused Kyuuji to get even angrier, his mood was similar to a spiky blonde-haired explosion guy that he disliked at this moment. So much so that he even forgot to ask further questions about his world that he got.

Grandmaster, you came in at that moment allowed with other teachers.....he could literally see the building tension among his students and was experienced enough to know what everyone was feeling.

"I guess it's time I up your training by a notch... I know you all are feeling very pathetic now about what happened seeing as you all we're powerless to do anything...the beast literally butchered you....and then came the douluo couple...."

Grandmaster yu gave them some encouraging words after that and left asking them to gather at the training grounds later on.

"Brothers and sisters I have something to tell you. it's about something I talked with Brother tang last night, " said Rong as she liked at everyone's faces, Xiao Wu had a visibly angry expression while Oscar looked like he was about to cry

"As you, all know my clan is one of the biggest clans but we are really lacking in the offense department....." and then she explained how she wanted to buy the handmade weapons (hidden) from Tang San for her clansman, this caused an expression of surprise to flash in the eyes of Oscar as he had moisture in his eyes while Xiao wu again became a little sad as she had seen the silver needle bracelet on Rong Rong's hands.

Tang San had also asked Kyuuji for the information regarding the metal, since he was a disciple of grandmaster you so he was told some inside info about Kyuuji which made him interested, finally seeing that the mood of everyone had become jolly again, He could not be happier so he agreed to give a ton of it to Tang San.

"Kyuuji let's go and have a spar.....what do you say," said Cane. Kyuuji could still sense the agitation and deep worry in his heart.

"Haaaah, alright follow me," said Kyuuji as they both walked away from the rest, they made their way to the outskirts of the forest.

Cane unsheathed his sword, he readied himself as he materialized his spirit sword through the sword hanging on his waist, his face unusually calm, "What is it....what's bothering you so much?" said Kyuuji as he stood there not activating his spirit.

Unlike how he usually does things Came gave a warcry and lunged at Kyuuji with a horizontal slash. Kyuuji just closed his eyes and then opened them again, this time they were pitch black, like the others who would be included with some form of fear upon seeing these, Cane was fine as fiddle and easily charged at Kyuuji, Kyuuuji activated his guard as he also used his first ability to lock Cane, Cane was stopped dead on his tracks, He then used his third ability and was able to get out of the lock.

"Cooled off yet, I know somethings wrong, just talk man, heck you are making me worried now "

Cane did not respond as he activated his realguard, an armguard and some shade like sci-fi google appeared on his face.

"Swoooord barrage, One point three strikes"

Blinding lights ensued as multiple sword constructs were hurled at Kyuuji, the swords had a huge spirit power buried in them, they were so fast that Kyuuji had to use shadow steps just to get away from them, like this the both of them kept fighting for over an hour, Kyuuji was fine as he had only lost a thirty percent of his spirit power while Cane was much worse, he was very weak at this moment. Kyuuuji had had enough of it, he knew that Cane was angry at him but later on he had seemed to return to normal.

Plop

Just like that, Cane fell to the ground while panting, his clothes were burnt here and there, the sword in his hands broken and stuff.

"I thought about it you see....about how strong you are...how far you are....it made me feel bitter...but I kept it in...i trained very hard..... I was satisfied because I knew I could catch up with you. ...but that illusion you made...it made me waver....i don't know why but I thought I had to see where I stood on this scale of power in the Academy... I am the third in line am I not...i swear I will beat you one day" said Cane while taking big breadths

"What..was that it! hahaha and here I was scared if you had truly grown crazy....dont sweat it man.... let's attend masters training I bet it will be a surprise to you hehe.

While supporting Cane, Kyuuji began walking back towards the designated training spot, with the sounds of constant hissing from Canes mouth, this made the trip all the more interesting for him. Kyuuji had truly grown worried for Canes obsession with power, this was an unhealthy obsession, he knew it all too well, this one was affiliated with the feeling of revenge, he did not know who was the target of Canes resentment was but he ought to find out in due time.

" Heh! Brother Tang !what the FK, how did you grow those big ass cool, shiny bad asss spectacular lances from your back, can I have one, do they grow back of I break them" said Cane as he started pulling at the newly grown external spirit bones in Tang San back , due to the eventful day, Kyuuji had almost forgotten about this case.
