Toudou Qilin lowered her head and followed Toudou Koichirō who was walking in front of her.

The two of them were walking in a passage reserved for people related to the academy. There was no one else, only the dull footsteps of Toto Koichirō.

“It’s taking longer than expected.”

Tofu Koichirō's footsteps stopped and he spoke in a cold voice without even turning his head.

Toudou Qilin shrank back in fear, wanting to refute something but unable to say anything, she could only mutter softly, and finally said in a weak voice: "I'm sorry, uncle..."

"I admit that the boy has some strength. But even if he is a pure Xinghuang-style weapon user, it took you so long to deal with a small character who doesn't even have a name in the famous sacrifice book. It will affect your reputation!"

He then said sternly, "In the next official ranking battle, I will challenge the seventh place player. That guy is also a user of the Pure Star Brilliance Weapon, but he is not allowed to be as embarrassed as he was today. I have three minutes to finish him off!"

He opened the seventh-place information and sent it to Toto Qilin. His plan this year was to have Qilin eliminate most of the twelve people from the First Page, so that she would have a high probability of establishing an unshakable position in the Star Guidance Hall. The only trouble would be the little girl from the Enfield family.

"Yes..." Toudou Qilin responded in a low voice.

"And I looked at the results of the last midterm test. To be honest, they are not excellent."

However, on the report card that he could see, Toudou Kirin's grades were not bad, and were even among the best. But even so, Toudou Koichiro still had a bad look on his face.

"I should have warned you that you shouldn't take even the exam lightly."

"Yes……"

"Tsk!"

Toudou Koichirō smacked his lips in dissatisfaction, reached out and grabbed Toudou Kirin's bangs and forced her to raise her head.

"Listen carefully, I don't just want to be strong. I want to be able to go down in the history of the Star Guide Hall and be ranked first, unprecedented in history. Don't forget this!" He then said with a cold expression: "You were originally just a kid with nothing but swordsmanship, but my words can make you shine. Don't forget this, Qilin. Only I can make your wish come true!"

"Yes...I understand, uncle..."

Toudou Koichirō pushed Toudou Kirin away, straightened his clothes and said, "Hmph... now that you know it, don't talk back to me or resist me anymore!" His expression was as if he was looking at something dirty, which was definitely not the expression that should exist between family members.

Afterwards, he no longer paid attention to Toto Kirin, who was pushed down by him and was sitting there motionless, and left the passage on his own.

--------------------------------

“Nu Nu Nu…” Julis, who was sitting opposite Yu Yiyu, bit the soup spoon and made meaningless sounds, looking like an angry little animal.

Tianwu Lingdou, who was sitting next to Yu Yiyu, felt uncomfortable being looked at and asked in a low voice: "What's wrong with her? Did you make her angry?"

"How is that possible? And I don't know what she is angry about." Yu Yiyu replied after taking a bite of curry.

Not long ago, after the duel ended, the two left there and came to the cafeteria to eat. They happened to meet Amagiri Ayato and Sasamiya Sayaka, so they pulled them to this most expensive restaurant.

I was supposed to be eating happily on payday, but I ended up losing the game and had to turn my grief and anger into appetite. Alas, things are unpredictable.

"A woman's heart is as deep as a needle in the sea~" said Sasamiya Sayaka, shaking a spoon.

“You guys! I heard it all!” Julis said viciously as she listened to people talking about her, and then she sighed.

“Haa… The reason why I’m angry is not completely unrelated to you, but it’s just my willfulness.” Julis looked at Yu Yiyu and said seriously: “I originally thought… maybe you could win.”

"What you said is too unreasonable. The gap in strength is there. It's not that easy to win." Yu Yiyu looked at her speechlessly, almost rolling his eyes.

"Of course I know that this is just unreasonable willfulness! But even if the opponent is the first in the sequence, didn't you almost win? And... and... it was because of me that you evolved into a situation where you were dueling with Toudou Kirin."

"Choose whether you want to be shy or angry..." Yu Yiyu put down the spoon and continued, "It's not Julis's fault. I lost because I was not as skilled as her. Even with the surprise attack, I still couldn't defeat the enemy. I'm far from good enough. Besides, it was my own will to step forward at that time. Such things should not happen between relatives."

"Is that Toudou Kirin really that strong?" Amagiri Ayato asked curiously.

"Ah, super strong. I couldn't even see the tip of her sword when she attacked. I was almost killed by her sword at the beginning."

"Oh~ What about the style? Speaking of which, Toudou should be Toudou-ryu, right? That style does have a very fast sword speed, and it has the reputation of being like a flowing crane." Amagiri Ayato practices ancient swordsmanship, and he also has some knowledge of Toudou-ryu, which is quite famous in the Xingmai generation.

"Ayato, are you familiar with that school?" Yu Yiyu took the opportunity to find out some background information from him. Maybe there was something he didn't know.

"I don't know that much, but the name of that style is that it has no end and no limit. No matter how the opponent defends or dodges, you can continue to attack and pursue the opponent."

"I've experienced this very well. No matter how fast you run, you'll be caught up, and the attacks won't stop. It's very stressful to face them."

"However, you are quite amazing to be able to block Toudou Qilin's sword skills. Are you practicing swordsmanship?"

Yu Yiyu shook his head and said, "No, during the battle, he didn't try to avoid the attack, but I blocked it with a magic circle. Even so, he was still beaten badly, and his clothes were almost torn."

Julis interrupted the topic at this time and said, "However, this is a bit bad. Yu Yiyu's tricks have almost been seen. The guys in the news department will definitely not miss this opportunity. In addition to using analysis, do you really have any trump cards?"

"Of course there are more. It's better to say that facing a melee type like Toudou Qilin, some of my skills are difficult to use."

After hearing what he said, Julis remembered the ability that disgusted her for a long time and suddenly realized: "Ah, that power has not been seen yet. They should just think it is a special skill that enhances vision or observation."

"Hmm? What are you talking about?"

"The two of them were whispering something that we couldn't understand at all. It looked like they were talking about something that was not to be seen by others—"

"That's too harsh to hear!"

Julis interrupted Sasamiya Sayaka's question speech. After all, it involved the secret weapon of Yu Yiyu's competition, and even if they were good friends, it couldn't be revealed now.
