During lunch break today, he heard from Yulong that the number of Voidwalkers in the past few days had been unusual, and their strength had increased a lot. He didn't know if he was lucky or unlucky to encounter such a situation, but in conclusion, it should be said that the Void was more unlucky because there was another force in the Hunting Void.
After yesterday's incident, Ichigo's sense of crisis was fully aroused. In order to eliminate the potential danger that threatened his sisters, he was now full of fighting spirit. Thus, under my half-forced and half-instigated persuasion, Ichigo, who was originally a homecoming club, joined a club called the " After School Hunting Club ".
This was a residential area. We were looking at the complicated maze-like terrain. Just now, there was a head that had entered this alley, but now we could no longer see it.
"What are you waiting for? Go after him!"
" You don't have to tell me," Ichigo said impatiently." We can't see anything. How are we going to chase them?" Why don't you fly up to the sky to see where it is and show me the way?”
"What do you think you are doing here?”I was furious at this unambitious guy." Is it still your cultivation if I do everything for you? Can't you feel such an obvious spiritual pressure fluctuation at all?”
Ichigo's Reiki Pressure perception was so weak that it made one's hair stand on end. I guess it's because his spiritual power is too inclined to his combat ability, so his perception is close to the worst level. Therefore, I almost gave up on his tracking abilities.
"You don't have the right to criticize me!”He glared at me with unreasonable words.
"Although I don't have spiritual pressure, my ability to sense spiritual pressure is top-notch.”His sinister smile made Ichigo jump away." It's useless to run…" I pressed on step by step.
Yesterday's dream made me very annoyed. Jingling Palace, Spirit King, and so on…they were all a mess and did not have any sense of reality at all. Seeing Ichigo's face made me even more annoyed. There was nothing I could do about it if I didn't treat him well.
" I have such excellent tracking and detection abilities. If my disciple is a slow idiot like you…" The guy who was called an idiot glared at me with a fist clenched." If that's the case, I won't be able to face the ancestors of the Ayahara family. So…you should wake up!"
"Stand downwind, idiot!" I pinched his ear fiercely. Ichigo's rough hands and legs had alerted the enemy, and Hoshi had sensed his movements from a street away and escaped. This was the tenth time today?
"Just like an excellent hunter, always standing at a disadvantage! Your opponent is a monster whose sense of hearing and smell is more than ten times better than a thick-skinned idiot like you!”
" Ouch!" Yi Yi rubbed his ears and shouted back," The wind changes all of a sudden. How can I judge?!"”
"Use your ears to hear and your eyes to see. Is your body just a decoration?”
Seeing that I reached out to his ear again, he jumped away and said as he retreated,"How could he do that? He's not a monster with superpowers like you!”
Superpowers after specters? Should he call me an alien next time? A strong sense of defeat welled up in my heart. The whispers of the wind are so gentle and easy to recognize…Is there no one else who can understand it besides me?
"Ah, uh…I'm sorry, I was wrong.”Seeing my depressed expression, Ichigo scratched his head and apologized to me. This really gave me a fright.
" Actually, you don't have to be depressed. There's nothing bad about superpowers." His clear brown eyes were full of sincerity." I was always treated as a monster because I could see ghosts. At first, it was very uncomfortable.'That kind of power is not what I want, and it will bring me a lot of trouble'. Even if I said that, others wouldn't understand. Later on, they got used to it, so..."
I didn't know whether to laugh or cry as I looked at him. This guy had completely misunderstood, but I accepted his comforting intentions.
"In that case, let me teach you a method.”I smiled and extended my right index finger. After attracting Ichigo's gaze, I placed my index finger in my mouth and licked it carefully from the knuckles to the fingertips.
"What are you trying to do by suddenly doing such an embarrassing gesture?!”Ichigo's fair face suddenly turned red. He seemed to be ashamed. He jumped two steps away and pointed at me while shouting. This idiot!
"You're just a normal, dirty, high school boy.”I said expressionlessly.
"Ordinary people will think of that when they see you do this!”He actually had a self-righteous look on his face.
"Even an idiot has a limit!" His left hand sliced his head." Do as you're told, bastard!”
Ichigo reluctantly put his index finger into his mouth.
" Stick it out like this." I raised my index finger and pointed straight up." The cool direction is the direction of the wind.”
Ichigo imitated my movements with a hint of enlightenment. I raised my neck, narrowed my eyes, and relaxed myself in the breeze. As I felt the rhythm of the wind, I said to him,"It's going to stop. Three, two, one.”
The swaying treetops stopped, and the rolling sand on the ground suddenly stopped. I looked at Ichigo again, and he let out an "ah" as if he understood. I nodded in satisfaction."See, the wind can be seen and felt.”
" I did feel it." Ichigo stared at me in confusion." But what do you want me to see?”
Didn't you follow my gaze and see the signs of the wind passing by?
No, he shook his head and told me that he went to see me.
"Idiot! What's the use of looking at me! Do I have a weather indicator on my face?!"
While chasing and beating him until he jumped over walls and roofs, we continued our cultivation.
" I say," Ichigo asked while sipping a can of coffee in front of a vending machine on the corner of the street." Why don't you use your powerful strength instead of using some ordinary fighting techniques?"”
I replied with a bitter smile.
" I saw it yesterday. You were able to fight that monster evenly…"
I shook my head and told him that it was not as easy as it looked.
"Don't you know that I don't have spiritual pressure, so the spiritual energy I can use is very little.”Although he would dream of the past at night, and his strength would recover day by day, it was more reliable to use martial arts than to use wind to fight.
" But, aren't you able to control the wind…"
What a common misunderstanding.
"The wind is not my servant. It is merely borrowing my strength.”Because he could hear the sound of the wind, he could use it out of understanding. To be precise, he had become friends with the wind, not slaves or masters. Therefore, if I don't have enough spiritual power, even if Feng wants to help me, it will be difficult to become enough to kill the enemy.
Ichigo raised his head and gulped down the coffee. After wiping his mouth with the back of his hand, he said to me,"In that case…you once said that my spiritual power is very strong. Can I use my spiritual power to fight?”
I patted him on the shoulder to praise him. When he was feeling smug, his hand suddenly increased its strength. After being caught off guard by my slap, Ichigo jumped up and shouted at me.
" What are you angry about?" I threw him a handkerchief and pointed to my lips." Look at your fragile body. Spirit power cannot strengthen your body, nor can it increase your speed and strength. Your top priority is to build a good foundation.”
For Ichigo's case, he has a very strong talent. Spiritual power is the least thing he needs to worry about, so I don't plan to train him in this area. What he needs to do is to develop the right battle sense and understand how to deal with enemies stronger than himself. My focus is to let him develop the instinct to fight.
Ichigo took the handkerchief with a complicated expression. After wiping the brown stains on the back of his hand and lips, he wanted to hand it back to me, but he retracted his hand halfway.
After crumpling the handkerchief into a ball and stuffing it into his trouser pocket, Ichigo squeezed the aluminum coffee can in his hand and aimed at the trash can three meters away. He narrowed his right eye and threw it-right in the middle.
Seeing his unconvinced look, I glanced at him from the corner of my eyes."What's wrong?" Any objections?
"Then, what is true power? Speed? Power? Or technique?" Ichigo's clear eyes were filled with the words " I want to know " and " I want to become stronger." His face looked very different from yesterday. His lively expression made me dizzy.
"Hey, what's wrong?" When he saw me squatting down with my hand on my forehead, he leaned closer to me worriedly." Do you have a stomachache?”He bent down and patted my back. It was a very clumsy movement. I swear that the slight relief I felt in my heart was not because of his movements. It was probably because of his intentions.
"I want to drink sweet, cold coffee with ten pieces of sugar.”
"Are you taking advantage of the situation?!" Ichigo's veins bulged as he said,"It's very far!”
I looked straight at the sky. The footsteps gradually faded away. After a while, I heard panting and a cold paper cup was stuck to my forehead.
" Not sweet enough…" I said bitterly.
"Idiot, what would ten candies taste like? I put five pieces in and it's already almost concrete!”
Forget it…" Thank you!" Okiichigo smiled widely, but he pushed his face away with an ice hand.
"It's very cold, idiot!" I wiped my wet cheeks and glanced at him. I realized why he did that. This guy's face was as red as a strawberry.
While laughing to myself, I cleared my throat."The so-called powerful-listen-"
Ichigo's breathing slowed down.
" The true power is-"
He listened attentively.
"-that's-I don't know.”
Ichigo staggered and steadied himself by supporting himself against the wall. Then, he turned to face me with a face that said," Do you think I'm an idiot?"
"I'm not lying to you." I smiled and said,"I used to pursue and think that I had obtained strength. Now, I can't remember it."”
The cold liquid flowed into his lungs, and the chill drove away the karmic fire that was stirring in his heart. Ahhh, there's an expert sleeping in my body. In order to prevent her from invading my place of existence, can I give up on the 'truth'?
It was enough to become stronger, to protect everything at hand-Ichigo, Xiali, Yulong... and Ichigo's happiness. Now that he had found a reason to live, he would let the past be. It was enough for me to live the life of this Ayahara Tokujin.
"So, I can't answer your question now.”I spread my hands at Ichigo, who was deep in thought.
"And I think that everyone has their own understanding of the strongest because everyone values different things. Be it martial arts or strength, the cultivation of these combat abilities was also a training of the heart. When you are strong enough, you will know what you are after.”
After a moment of silence, Ichigo suddenly said,""I think you are very strong."
Eh? I looked at him inexplicably. He also learned from me and leaned against the wall. Then, he put his hands in his trouser pockets and continued to speak.
"Yesterday, I was watching your battle. Although it seemed like there was a huge difference in strength between the two sides, not only could you skillfully dodge the opponent's powerful strength, but you could also seize the opportunity to give the opponent a heavy blow. That kind of combat method gave me the feeling of a soldier who had experienced countless battles.”
"The complaining man has successfully transformed into an artistic boy?”I looked at him with a puzzled expression that said,"Did you take the wrong medicine?"
"Idiot!" Ichigo stared at him with his dead fish eyes and veins popping out of his forehead."Listen carefully! You're already strong enough to ignore your own strength, so you keep staring at higher places. Looking at you makes me want to become stronger, and it makes me feel that I can become stronger. That's why…you don't have to worry about forgetting the definition of power.”
Was he trying to comfort me and tell me not to worry about losing my memory…I burst out laughing, my shoulders shaking uncontrollably…The more I laughed, the more I couldn't stop.
"What kind of reaction was that? Do you think I'm an idiot?!"
"You said it yourself. I didn't say anything.”
Actually, I was probably an idiot to be comforted by his roundabout words.
