Once Lu Shu was out of Yaeko’s vision, he started to accelerate to the top of his speed. With his remarkable speed comparable to that of Class B’s, it was impossible for Yaeko, a mere Class C, to catch up with him…

Yaeko was slightly resigned. Nothing in her information said that Hirono possessed such speed.

It was at this moment that she suddenly heard a shout behind her. “Ms Sakurai, are you looking for me?”

Yaeko abruptly looked back. To her consternation, she realised that Hirono had ran behind her and was walking over from a crossroad.

At this very instant, Hirono and Yaeko saw in each other’s eyes a tinge of… uncertainty…

Yaeko thought silently. How did this idiot run behind me? It couldn’t be that his speed has progressed to such an extent?

Hirono wondered to himself. Wasn’t it her who ferociously allowed herself to stand still? Why does she look like she shouldn’t be here instead?

Lu Shu had already escaped far away, lest he be tracked down by them. He had ran off, leaving Yaeko and Kitamura at a loss.

“From Sakurai Yaeko’s distress, +666!”

“From Kitamura Hirono’s distress, +666!”

The misunderstanding was because of Lu Shu, so the distress points were all Lu Shu’s fault!

Hirono chuckled. “Ms Sakurai, you are really using me to find joy, huh? When I tried to find you last night, there certainly wasn’t anyone at home. So why have you come to my house on your own initiative today?”

Yaeko coldly stared at Hirono. She said, “After tonight, there will be no more Kitamura Hirono from the Collection of Gods on this Earth.”

“Oh?” Hirono adjusted his non-prescription glasses. “Just because you were taught by that Oda Tokuma. I’m afraid that you still can’t kill me. I doubt he himself would be able to do so.”

Yaeko was uncertain where his courage came from. Was he really saying that even a Class B could not kill him?

However, she had no intention of talking nonsense. As soon as Hirono finished speaking, she prepared to strike. Yet at that moment, a long sword fell from an electric pole. Oda Tokuma’s figure suddenly appeared, the sword ready to split Kitamura into halves.

Yaeko was dumbfounded. Why would her teacher be hiding there? It was as if he was planning to murder the presumptuous Hirono!

But at that split second, an invisible figure pushed Kitamura from behind him. It took the opportunity to draw his sword from his waist. The massive momentum pushed Oda Tokuma, who was leaping from the sky, in an instant.

An enormous blast billowed outwards with a jingling sound. The surrounding houses had starting shaking under the force of the two swords clashing. This was a battle between two powerful Class B’s!

Oda Tokuma’s stable figure once again returned to the electric pole. He looked downwards and laughed bitterly. “Kitamura Kijitori, you still have a lot up your sleeves.

The middle-aged man called Kitamura Kijitori slowly sheathed his sword. He chuckled, “I spent so much effort in trying to find you, you Gray Rat. After today, you no longer have to continue hiding. You might as well stay behind.”

At this very moment, the situation became unpredictable. Oda Tokuma personally came to observe, as he had felt the change in Yaeko and was worried that she would yield.

On the other hand, the reason why Hirono dared to talk wildly then was to incite his teacher. His teacher realised that out of the four present, his energy was most in line with that of Oda Tokuma’s! He had only planned to ask and enrage, but never had he expected that he would actually lure out Oda Tokuma.

Kijitori laughed. “You really have a long way to go if you want to catch up with Kirihara Kuraki. If he were here, needless to say my words would not anger him at all. In terms of strength, I’m afraid you would have to give way and join hands with others before you stand a chance. No wonder those families in hiding no longer trust you. If it were me, it would also be hard for me to trust your leadership. What future is there for the Conservatives? But… beside me is a mouse who makes people disturbed. The natural instinct is to simply get rid of you.”

When Oda Tokuma heard that he was described as a mouse by Kijitori, his veins seemed ready to burst. How could the self-proclaimed genius bear such humiliation?

Yet at the very next instant, Kijitori unsheathed his sword from his waist and pointed it at Yaeko!

Without even waiting for Oda Tokuma to react, Kijitori had already approached Yaeko. One slice and the night was broken.

The sakura flowers on Yaeko’s kimono each resisted the force of the blade, before leaving remains of dust on the blade.

There was a ring as the blade and the kimono clashed. Yaeko was sent flying by the force of the blade, yet her kimono was still intact!

Kijitori gasped in admiration and laughed. “It was that mythical object! So it’s been in the hands of you, the Conservatives.”

Yet as he once again prepared for the chase to kill her, Oda Tokuma suddenly fled far away. He did not even care whether his student would come out alive or dead, as to him, he was not yet worthy of being Kijitori’s opponent!

Kijitori said with a sense of pity, “What a coward. Hirono, I’ll leave this to you.”

Just as he finished speaking, Kijitori quickly withdrew and chased after Oda Tokuma.

Yaeko coughed up fresh blood and once again stood up. She looked towards the direction her teacher had fled towards, seemingly heaving a sigh. Some questions and answers she did not want to know about had always troubled her, and now everything was proven.

Not to mention her sakura kimono was indeed magical. There was no trace of damage even after resisting a first-class attack from a Class B. Although she had received rather severe internal injuries, she still had the energy to move around!

Yaeko suddenly turned around and fled. She headed towards the dojo. She knew that if she had not received any support, there was no doubt that she would be dead. After all, Hirono may not be much weaker than her when she was at full power.

On top of that, Yaeko suddenly wanted to know, if her teacher had abandoned her, then… would that young man help her?

This world was still really cold, huh? Yaeko silently heaved a sigh.

For some reason, Yaeko felt that the young man in the dojo would definitely help her, although they had not known each other for long.

As the two vied with each other towards the dojo, Hirono laughed behind Yaeko. “Why are you escaping in that direction? Do you really think he will save you, you spy? How will he see you when he knows about your identity? Do you think you can stay by his side?”

His words stabbed hard into Yaeko’s heart. She was very clear that what Hirono said was right. From the very beginning her intention to interact with Lu Shu was wrong. How could there be a right conclusion?

If Kirihara knew that she had approached him as his spy, how could she justify herself?

But Yaeko did not care so much now. She was like a drowned traveler, only wishing to grab a stalk of straw in this long river of time as proof that at least in her seventeen years of living, she had encountered a single act of sincerity.
