I, holding a long sword in my hand, only know one move

"Hey, Mr. Campbell, long time no see!" Heyzhi smiled and bent down, letting Isabella rub his pink-haired hedgehog back and forth like a pet.

"And Brother Cheng, I miss you so much!"

"You brat, you're actually taller than me." Cheng Rang patted the firm and broad back of the knotweed, and now he almost raised his head to look at him.

The good thing is that everyone's feelings haven't changed much.

Leticia's evaluation of Japanese knotweed is also unexpectedly high. It is very rare for him to reach this level with his background.

Kugisaki looked at Leticia in surprise: "So, Miss Leticia is actually Mr. Campbell's... master?"

"Yes, she is also the founder of the conjuration school practiced by Polygonum Weed, and she is very powerful." Isabella said.

"I have learned the lesson... As expected of Master, I have no ability to fight back at all."

"Since you are Isa's disciple, calling me that is too disrespectful. Just call me by my name."

Hearing this, Huzhang waved his hands quickly: "How can this be done...!"

"Don't worry, you and I are not from the same world, and the etiquette is different. It's more comfortable for me if you call me by my name."

"Then, I would rather obey your orders than be respectful, Miss Leticia."

"Um."

The curse here has long been exorcised, and subsequent submissions of commissioned reports will be resolved by the knotweed side.

Waiting for Fushiguro to finish school, the group prepared to take a stroll. Isabella's students were all here, and Cheng Rang decided to go back at this time to see how his disciples were doing.

After agreeing to meet at a certain barbecue restaurant, Cheng Rang said goodbye to Isabella and her group for the time being and headed to Chanyuan's home.

Five years later, the city still hasn’t changed much.

Shibuya District, which experienced the war, has long since seen the scars of the past. The revitalized city has become even more revitalized due to the "forced" demolition of some old buildings and nail-biting households.

This is what is called...break and then build.

"Huh? This cake shop is still open..."

Unknowingly, he arrived at the shop called "Yayyo Cake Shop". Cheng Rang still remembered the birthday he celebrated for Fushiguro before leaving.

The cake was ordered here, and this cake shop has more than a little trouble.

I wanted to rush past it as a fleeting scenery, but inadvertently I caught a glimpse of a familiar figure inside through the glass.

Jingle Bell…

Cheng Rang pushed the door open and entered.

"Welcome to Yayoi Cake Shop, please feel free to take a look!"

Since it was a working day, there was only one customer in the store, Cheng Rang, and two clerks.

Or is he no longer a clerk, but the boss and his wife?

Cheng Rang raised the corner of his mouth and looked at the person who stood up from behind the counter.

, a man with a surprised expression after seeing himself.

"Mr. Nanami, how are you doing recently?"

Nanami Kento, a first-level conjurer, is already thirty-two years old this year. After thinking about it, it should be an excellent age to get married and have children.

And the woman who just greeted me warmly...

Cheng Rang immediately glanced at the nameplate on her chest with understanding.

"Nanami Suomi"

He immediately gave a thumbs up to Nanami Kento.

——Well done, Mr. Nanami!

Qihai, who felt a headache because of Cheng Rang's gaze and movements, pressed his forehead. He no longer wore sunglasses that blocked his vision. Instead, he was wearing a pure white chef's uniform and a black apron, looking exactly like a professional pastry chef. .

Her hair was still neatly combed and kept intact by the chef's hat.

"Mr. Cheng, it's really surprising that you are free to come back to Japan."

"Hey, I'll come back and see you all when I have time."

"It's really much busier than us." Nanami showed a rare smile. It seemed that he had changed a lot during this period of time. The cold edge of his whole person had softened to the point where it was almost imperceptible. Instead, he looked serious. A gentle uncle.

Is this the power of love? I have to say, it is really powerful.

"Let me introduce you, this is my wife, Suimei." Qihai took the initiative to reach out and introduce her lover next to the shelf to Cheng Rang.

Five years ago, a young woman named Hanazawa Honomi used to be a clerk in this cake shop.

"Are you Jianren's friend? Welcome, welcome! This is our first time meeting, right?"

Cheng Rang wanted to wave his hand and say that he had met him before, but then he thought about it and changed his mind after saying it.

"Well, this is the first time we meet. My name is Cheng Rang."

After a brief exchange of greetings, Cheng Rang bought a few pieces of the store's signature bread as a token of his support for the couple's business.

Before leaving, Cheng Rang asked Qihai in a low voice: "Have you...been making pastries recently?"

To put it another way, he was probably asking if Nanami had given up on the path of being a conjurer.

Nanami's answer to this was: "In this era, we no longer need so many conjurers. I feel that since God has given me this opportunity, I might as well be more frank with myself in the future...including those around me. So do people.”

The era of people cursing each other is over, and now he chooses to decide his future life.

"Well, that's good." Cheng Rang nodded with a smile, raised the bag of bread in his hand, and said goodbye to the two of them: "Then I'll leave first. I wish you both a baby soon!"

"……Hello."

Qihai showed a helpless expression, but Cheng Rang had already disappeared with a smirk, and then turned to look at his wife, pretending to be busy on the shelves. After noticing that he was looking at her, he couldn't help but Blushed.

"Homi."

"Ah, yes!?"

"There are not many customers today. Let's close up early and go home."

Suimei's fingertips trembling slightly as she arranged the bread, she looked back lovingly at her beloved husband, and nodded in agreement.

"……good."

——————————————

One of the three major families in the world of magic, the Zen Yuan family.

The majestic ancient Japanese-style buildings mostly have dark blue tiled roofs, and some yellowish white walls surround the entire cluster of houses.

But now there seemed to be few people around. Even if Cheng Rang knocked on the door for a long time, no one answered.

Maybe it was these big families in the magic world that fell together with the curse...

With the harsh squeaking sound of hinges, Cheng Rang slowly pushed open the heavy unlocked door and stepped into the yard.

Different from the dilapidated appearance as imagined, the yard is still very clean and tidy. It seems that someone has been cleaning the place diligently, and even the weeds have been meticulously repaired.

Most of the doors in the yard were closed, and the wind was rustling. Through the corridor, only Cheng Rang's footsteps echoed.

But his purpose was clear and he knew very well that the person he was looking for was not far away.

The wooden floor under his feet made an overwhelming creaking sound, as if it would break in the next second. Cheng Rang crossed the last threshold and arrived at the Zen Yuan Dojo with four open doors.

The smooth and flat wooden floor has been wiped so that it can even reflect light like a mirror. Under the beam facing the door, there is a large calligraphy framed in a glass frame that looks like splashing ink -

【Ding Jing Shi Shui】

Chapter 116: What does it mean to be brave in war?

Chapter 1306 Chapter 116 What does it mean to never tire of deceit?

In the center of the bright dojo, a straight trajectory of light is projected on the face of a woman sitting with her back to the place.

She has dark blue shoulder-length hair, her eyes are lightly closed, and her breathing is steady and weak, as if she has entered a state of selflessness. On her knees together, there is a unique long knife lying flat.

Zenyuan Maki, twenty-two years old, is currently the twenty-seventh generation head of the Zenyuan family.

——Super magician.

Although there is no magic power at all, he can wield the blade and release deadly sword energy to carry out devastating strikes at ultra-long distances. The strengthening of the sky and the curse has made his physical strength reach a level unbelievable to ordinary people.

It can even expand the field of specialization for curses: Climb the sky and step on the moon. Currently, except for Gojo Satoru, no magician is her enemy. However, even Gojo Satoru made it public a year ago.

He confessed: "I can no longer defeat Zenyuan Maki easily."

He is rated as one of the most powerful people in the current conjuring world: [The Absolute Sword Cuts the Jade].

"You're finally here..." Maki opened her eyes and didn't look back, but she knew who was coming behind her.

"Master."

The air seemed to be stagnant, and the sunlight reflected on the floor was as sharp as a knife, slowly cutting lines of light and dark on the skin.

She seemed to have been preparing for this for a long time.

The reason why Cheng Rang didn't bring anyone else was also very simple.

The simple white long sword hung at Cheng Rang's waist with a flash of original intention.

Maki put her hands on the "Broken Jade", which was her sister. Zhenyuan Zhenyi used her life as a binding, and the weapon formed by the magic was connected to her blood.

"The time between exams is a bit long, so are you exercising properly?"

Maki's eyes were calm and full of sharp fighting spirit.

She spoke softly, "You'll know soon."

Whoosh - the swords in the two men's hands were unsheathed almost at the same time, and the white sword light in an arc shape collided with each other, making a clear sound of gold and iron.

clang!

"Not bad." Cheng Rang raised his eyebrows and smiled at Maki in front of him.

"It's still very early!"

A fiercely competitive smile appeared on Maki's lips, and huge power was transmitted from the blades of the two men's hands to Cheng Rang's wrist.

Her sword rubbed the edge of Cheng Rang's block upwards, causing fire, and she turned her hand and slashed towards Cheng Rang's throat.

Raising her head back to avoid the missed sword strike, Cheng Rang took out a kick and kicked Maki away. Just as she was about to pursue him, she regained her balance in mid-air and threw out an invisible sword energy to force Cheng Rang away. He stood up, turned over and put his feet on the wall, kicked hard, and flew forward again!

The crisp sound of clanking swords colliding became one in an instant, and the sword energy and wind pressure exploded in all directions, causing the curtains hanging on the wall to shatter and fly.

After several rounds of fighting, no one on either side took advantage.

Maki's swordsmanship skills were passed down from Cheng Rang's hands, and it's obvious that she has continued to improve in the past five years.

Cheng Rang caught Maki's constant attacks and said with a relaxed smile during the fierce battle: "It seems that you haven't relaxed much. Haven't you found a boyfriend yet?"

Maki made a fierce slash, and the wind roared like a tiger roaring and a dragon roared as it brushed against Cheng Rang's side, cutting the threshold of the dojo into two pieces.

"After I beat you down, I'll go look for you immediately!"

"You are really the same as you were five years ago, as stubborn as a cow."

clang!

Cheng Rang broke through Maki's offensive with all his strength, and the two separated in tacit understanding.

Maki gritted her teeth and said, "Then do you know how I spent the past five years?"

"Meditate, swing your sword, and clean this dilapidated Zen home every day?"

Maki showed a disgusted expression, lowered her center of gravity, put the jade hand into the sheath, and made an Iai posture.

Brushing the ground, Maki's figure moved in an instant, leaving an afterimage in place.

"Of course, work..."

"Work--"

Another one.

“And work!!!”

brush!
