"Kuze-sensei, what about me? What about me?"
Perhaps having overcome her shyness.
When wearing these special training outfits, Asuna Yuuki was even more proactive than usual!
The bunny girl outfit highlighted the girl's figure distinctively.
It simultaneously displayed both mature sensuality and youthful cuteness!
It was simply an essential item for home and travel, adding joy and boosting attack speed.
"Of course, you're also very cute—simply couldn't be more perfect!"
After receiving praise, Asuna Yuuki's cheeks quickly flushed with a charming crimson.
However, she had also heard something else.
Earlier, Kuzeha had called Saeko Busujima by her first name directly!
In Japan, only people with very close relationships would do this.
Brothers and sisters, childhood friends, or lovers!
Looking at Saeko Busujima's accustomed reaction, this probably wasn't the first time.
Asuna Yuuki deeply realized that at times and places she didn't know about, these two must have something going on!
Thinking about this, the girl's heart suddenly felt empty...
However, she didn't get discouraged, but instead sparked her competitive spirit.
Asuna Yuuki set two goals for herself.
First, she had to start calling him "Kuze-kun," and second, she had to be called "Asuna"!
"The warm-up is finished, so let's continue with breathing technique training today!"
The Flower Breathing technique improved by Kuzeha.
It was already a level stronger than Shinobu Kocho's version.
But this was still far from the endpoint!
In the original work, Asuna Yuuki had the nickname "The Flash."
Her area of expertise was also speed attacks and quick kills, focusing on burst damage!
In other words, while Flower Breathing was also suitable, it wasn't the most suitable.
Sound Breathing and Thunder Breathing would be the best matches!
Kuzeha planned to use a single breathing technique as a stepping stone to teach Saeko Busujima and Asuna Yuuki to master multiple techniques.
If one focuses particularly seriously on something, they'll find that time passes very quickly.
Feeling like only a short while had passed, it was already time for school to end.
The bunny girl outfits were already full of sword marks from training.
Asuna Yuuki and Saeko Busujima were sweating profusely, tired but satisfied.
Because every step and every move's improvement was visible to the naked eye!
No matter what mistakes they made, Kuzeha could help correct them.
Wherever there were weak points in attack or defense, he could immediately point them out and help补足 them!
After school, Kuzeha returned home with Sakura as usual.
However, Sakura's mood had been somewhat off these past few days.
She seemed different from before, with an inexplicable sense of distance.
Only Sakura herself knew.
Usually spending daily life with Kuzeha at the orphanage and enjoying campus life at Sobu High.
Just thinking that this was happiness, simple and pure.
The two of them weren't biological siblings, but step-siblings!
With the girl's growth, even someone slow and lacking crisis awareness could notice some clues.
How could she not have seen the offensive launched by Sora Kasugano and Yuki Suou?
It was just that from beginning to end, due to her step-sister status, she had always kept her feelings hidden!
Then, Sakura's abnormality began from the day she witnessed Sora and realized she also had a chance!
The more she cared, the more she had to pretend not to care.
In contradictory repetition, she kept trying to cover up her true feelings!
The Shinomiya House.
Finally, Oko Shinomiya had barely recovered.
Being expelled from the Hero Association had caused the Shinomiya family's reputation among the financial conglomerates to plummet!
Seeing him jumping up and down in impotent rage, his authority as acting family head was gradually collapsing.
Even the trusted confidants within the main family were beginning to waver.
Moreover, both the Hayasaka family and the Shijo branch family showed signs of restlessness!
Whether they defected or rebelled, the Shinomiya family would suffer even greater damage.
Rather than thinking about how to stabilize the current situation, Oko Shinomiya had been blinded by thoughts of revenge!
In his view, the mastermind behind all of this was Kuzeha.
He completely failed to reflect that his own foolish operations were the source of everything!
Perhaps only by pushing all the blame onto others could his heart feel better.
At this moment, Oko Shinomiya no longer cared about anything else.
He only wanted to make Kuzeha pay the price!
Recently, news had spread that the Yukinoshita Foundation had already absorbed the Demon Slayer Corps, a supernatural force.
Oko Shinomiya had lost the Hero Association as support.
To fight back, he naturally had to seek help from other forces!
"Big brother, the guest has arrived."
Seiryu Shinomiya lightly knocked on the door, his voice coming from outside.
Behind Seiryu Shinomiya followed a tall man dressed in Buddhist robes!
His demeanor was leisurely, but he always wore a half-smiling expression.
He had combed his black long hair back, leaving only a strand in front.
This drew people's attention inevitably to the strange suture line on his forehead!
"Please come in quickly!"
Oko Shinomiya couldn't hide his smile, as if he could already see victory.
In his view, whether it was Muzan Kibutsuji or that alien.
The reason they were defeated was simple—they all had physical bodies.
Kuzeha might indeed be strong enough to defeat so many powerful enemies.
But cursed spirits were incorporeal and formless, invisible even to ordinary people!
"Mr. Suguru Geto, I'm counting on you this time!"
