Tanuki Rise of the Yokai Clan

Chapter 70: King!

Chapter 70: King!

"....."

Kirin blinked her eyes in disbelief since suddenly Tamazuki disappeared, and all of sudden, her school crest was cut in half.

However, the others who watched this were even more in disbelief since, in their eyes, Kirin was just doing nothing and letting Tamazuki cut her school crest without doing anything.

How?

Kirin definitely wasn't someone who would make such a stupid mistake or even give up the duel because she didn't see a chance of victory. They could also see the stupefied expression on her face, showing that she was also confused by the result of the duel, so everyone knew that everything must have something to do with Tamazuki.

While they weren't sure what he had done, they knew that he must do something that caused Kirin to be so stupefied and unable to react like before.

Still, those who recorded this duel kept staring at the screen of their cameras, playing their record repeatedly, trying to reveal a secret or two, yet they could find nothing.

How did he do that?

This bothered them so much.

Yet, it didn't change the fact that he had become the rank one in the Seidoukan!

More importantly, he was able to achieve this in just a day!

The newspaper club and others knew this would become the biggest news on the Asterisk!

By now, all of them wanted to approach him, trying to interview him, but as expected, while someone was happy, there must be someone who was unhappy.

"KIRIN!"

His voice was loud and echoed everywhere.

"HOW DARE YOU LOSE?! YOU EVEN LOST IN SUCH A SHAMEFUL WAY! DON'T YOU KNOW THAT YOU HAVE RUINED MY LIFE BECAUSE OF THIS!"

In his mind, Kirin was a tool for him to achieve his ambition. By using Kirin, he would become the executive of the Ginga, reaching a height that people could only look up to in their lives, yet? His niece had lost! She was beaten in the duel! With this loss, how could he achieve his ambition?!

Kirin's uncle raised his hand and wanted to slap Kirin, but Tamazuki caught that hand.

Kirin, who was frightened, saw his broad and gentle back with her eyes.

"YOU...?!"

Kirin's uncle was trembling in fear and anger. This guy was a monster. He didn't doubt it, especially when Tamazuki could master Toudou Style so effortlessly. While many trained hard until they were bleeding all over, he stomped that hard work with just a talent, which also humiliated him since he couldn't reach his original dream because of his incompetency.

"What are you planning to do? I am not a Genestellar! If you dare to hurt me...!"

Tamazuki almost yawned when he heard the threat. In this life, he wondered how many times he was being threatened, yet here he was, living well, without worry. "Toudou-san, you can see he is like this. Can you entrust your dream to someone like him?"

His words struck deep into her heart. She looked at her uncle again, feeling conflicted, but then she hesitated once again.

"You don't need to worry. I am here."

"...really?"

"Yes."

His words gave her courage, and she looked at her uncle once again. "O-Ojii-sama... what do you think of me? Have you ever thought of me as your niece?"

"...."

Her uncle stared at Kirin for a moment before he looked away and snorted. "You just need to do whatever I tell you. If you want to save your father, you just need to be obedient to me."

"..."

Kirin was at a loss but knew she couldn't entrust her dream to her uncle, so she bowed and apologized. "I am sorry, Ojii-sama. I am grateful to you. I mean that, but from now on, I will do everything on my own."

"WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU SAYING?!"

Instantly, her uncle was in rage.

"I think you should worry about yourself instead of getting angry here." Tamazuki injected.

"What do you mean?" Tamazuki's words made him anxious for some reason.

"I have no comment about your relationship with your niece. However, the Kirin Todou brand you seem to believe you createddoes not belong to you alone. It is the property of Seidoukan Academy and, by association, our integrated enterprise foundation. If you mean to besmirch it for personal reasons... do you think that you can maintain your job now?"

His words were like a boss who tried to threaten his subordinate to give his wife to him.

Wait, that was wrong!

"..."

The blood on Kirin's uncle's face was drained as if he had heard that he had only a few days of life from doctor.

"That's right."

Claudia, out of nowhere, approached Tamazuki and helped him. Still, she had to say she was a bit jealous of Kirin.

Kouchirou, Kirin's uncle, knew that if this continued, his life would be really over, so like a zombie, he walked away, thinking about what he should do with his future.

"Uncle..."

However, Kirin's voice didn't seem to reach his ears, and she could only stare at her uncle in a complex mood.

"Well, have you planned what you will do now?" Tamazuki suddenly asked.

"Ah, um..." Kirin awoke, then stared at him nervously, and a blush on her face. "Can..."

"Can...?"

"Can-Can I become your disciple...?" Kirin asked that question timidly, feeling afraid that she might ask something rude.

"...." Tamazuki.

"....." Claudia.

Disciple?

Why should she become a disciple?

Shouldn't she be tempted to have a more intimate relationship?

However, even if she had, he would reject her since there would be a lot of trouble if he accepted her; at least, she needed to wait for a few years, so she would be legal.

However...

<Disciple? Isn't that good? Why don't you accept it? The relationship between a master and a disciple? Isn't that romantic? In the quiet room, you two are alone with sweaty bodies as you move your bodies rhythmically, enjoying the moment together>

<Hurry up and accept!>

<I will give you a reward!>

"...."

As expected of the system, it was a beast.

Moreover, this system dared to say something misleading.

Couldn't you just say that they were training?

Why did it have to describe the training between a master and a disciple to be something so lewd?

It had to be something pure and youthful, right?

Youth!

This is how it should be!

"Why?"

Still, he couldn't accept it immediately.

"I-I want to learn from you. I-I am weak, but you are strong. You dare to say what you want and... and... didn't you promise me that you would become my courage...?" She peeked at him timidly, and her face was as reddened as ever, yet strangely enough, her eyes were a little sly.

"..."

Was it his imagination that this girl had become a little crafty?

"Well, that's true. I have also stolen your technique too, so why not? It's my first time to have a disciple, but please take care of me, Kirin."

"Ye-Yes, Inugami-san. I-I mean, Tamazuki-sensei!" As usual, Kirin's face flushed red in excitement.

Tamazuki nodded when he heard the words "Sensei" from Kirin's mouth, yet he had to say Claudia's stare hurt him so much, but...

<Congratulations, you have received "Swordsmanship Talent">

As expected, the reward was delicious, but he knew that he had to deal with Claudia. Still, he had a way of solving all of this. "Is there a newspaper club or news club here? I want to say something."

"Yes! Yes!"

Those reporters were so excited when they heard Tamazuki's words, and they quickly approached him.

"Um, can we interview you?"

"Isn't that the reason why I call you here? So, is there something that you want to ask?"

"Ye-Yes! You have become the rank one of the Seidoukan in just a day! What is your next goal?"

"My next goal? Isn't that obvious? Festa Phoenix. This will be my next goal. This tournament championship is mine, so for you, the students who participate in this tournament, don't make this tournament become boring for me and keep entertaining me even though you know you will become losers, as on this Asterisk, I am the King."

"..."

As expected, they knew this guy was simply a big news monster!

While Kirin and Claudia were helpless, Julis stared at him in a complex mood, and a certain thought emerged in her mind.
