One soul, two twins, the other half is Bronya

"Oh, I remember now."

It is obvious that Bai Ye is pretending to speak in such an exaggerated tone.

Immediately afterwards, an extremely terrifying magical power erupted! Although it was only a flash, Ikki still felt it... that absolute power!

"The Black Iron family values ​​order and hierarchy, and uses them to maintain the Black Iron family's position in the Far East."

Bai Ye briefly summarized it, then looked at Yihui and clapped his right hand heavily, "Hei Tieyan hopes you will lie down and play badly, it's simply that the benefits you bring are not enough."

"Internationally, there exists a group of people whose mere existence represents absolute authority!"

——[Demon]!

"One country... No, not even many countries. Should I say 'the whole world', how many demons are there?"

???

Regarding this aspect, Ikki had no idea at all. He had never had such a concept before. This was already considered a secret. "Bai Ye, are demons rare?"

"There should be about ten, or a little more?" Bai Ye was not sure about this.

Then, he turned to look at Ikki, "You've figured it out, right? It sounds like a lot, but this is based on the 'world'! It's really rare."

"So what is a demon?"

"Demon..."

—The so-called demons are truly powerful beings who have broken free from the shackles of fate. To a certain extent, the demon realm is already capable of interfering with fate.

"Followed by the 'Transcendence Awakening', the growth of magic power becomes secondary in comparison."

"Bai Ye! You mean..."

"That's right, your poor magic power can still be saved, Ikki."

Hidden in the darkness, Bai Ye looked at Yi Hui with interest. "Although it is very difficult, if it is you, Yi Hui, you can definitely do it, right?"

After all, you succeeded by following the trajectory of the original book... Bai Ye sighed secretly in his heart.

"Is it enough to just become a demon?"

Ikki raised his head, but was only met with deep darkness, which still couldn't conceal the brilliance in his eyes.

"Of course, as long as the brain is not damaged, no one and no family will reject a demon, especially this demon is from their own family."

As if suddenly thinking of something, Bai Ye leaned down slightly and lowered his voice, "I'll tell you in secret, even the chairman is not a demon~"

"Now you should understand the value of [Demon], right? So, young man, go become a demon!"

"Click~"

The power suddenly came back, the tightly closed door slowly opened, and light came in from outside... Ikki looked to the right again, but where was Bai Ye's shadow?

But... [Majin]? Although he didn't fully understand it, the concept was deeply engraved in Ikki's mind.

29.Father and Son

"Kurogatsu Ikki barely managed to win the match, and his expression showed no remorse at all."

During lunch, Stella, Shizuku, and the others sat at a table, looking through the student handbook for the latest news. Furthermore, the students around them were whispering and spreading negative news.

——Someone is interfering!

Under the table, Stella clenched her bare hands, pinching the hem of her skirt into pleats.

"It's only been a few days, Stella."

A figure walked to the side of the dining table, with a pair of hands casually resting on the table. Bai Ye leaned forward slightly and said, "Looking at you now, why do you feel like you've lost all your color~"

"It's you."

"Hey, hey, hey, at least call me by my name. I went over there with great difficulty to see Ikki, and this is how you repay me..." Bai Ye was speaking when he suddenly dodged.

"boom--!"

Stella suddenly stood up and slammed her hands on the table. A faint firelight lingered around her, and she was quite excited. "Did you really meet Ikki?!!"

"What are you thinking, how is this possible~"

As he spoke, Bai Ye quietly reached out a hand and gently patted Stella on the shoulder. Then he leaned closer and deliberately lowered his voice, "Control your emotions a little, this is a public place."

"Alright everyone, I need help from Mr. Ning Yin. Please come with Bronya for a moment."

Bronya lied casually, but from her tone, no one else could tell.

Walking to an empty classroom, Bronya placed one hand on the wall to set up a barrier. "Stella was a little too impulsive. Some things, even if done, shouldn't be made public."

"That's what I mean, how could I fail~" Bai Ye walked forward and sat down on a desk with one hand.

Bronya also added at the right time, "Given Bai Ye's personality, if the operation really failed, he wouldn't have the heart to tease, so the result is clear."

"Bingo~"

Bai Ye gestured and admitted it, "It wasn't the right situation in the cafeteria before, so I tried to hide it. But in fact, of course I saw him."

"There are basically no problems with Ikki."

Clapping his hands, Bai Ye turned his gaze to Stella, "Of course, if it's just my personal opinion... Stella, you can pass on something during the game."

"Some tokens, even the simplest hair will do." Bronya added.

Bai Ye then continued, "After all, at a time like this, what he needs more is the support of you as his lover."

"Love, lover or something..."

Even though she basically understood it, Stella was still inevitably a little shy when it was pointed out in public that Ikki needed her help.

"Is this unwillingness?"

Seeing this, Bai Ye deliberately misinterpreted the facts, then appeared beside Zhu Shizuku in a flash, and said in a faint voice, "It's okay, if it really doesn't work, you can let Zhu Shizuku..."

"No, no, no, no! I can do it!" Stella pounced over and interrupted Bai Ye's words in embarrassment.

"That's not necessary. As your brother's biological sister, Shizuku is completely capable..."

"No! I already said no!"

For a moment, the dull atmosphere at the beginning disappeared and the atmosphere became somewhat cheerful.

……

Another private audition was held, and Oreki Yuri, who was in charge of following up, could see that Ikki looked much better.

"Kurotetsu-kun, how are you?"

"Shut up, no private conversations."

The supervisor interrupted her and looked at Ikki coldly, "Get to your starting position immediately."

"clank--!"

In just a moment, Ikki easily won the victory, which was not even a warm-up for him.

emmm...

However, this made Oreki Yuri feel a little awkward… She took a few steps forward and bowed slightly to everyone, her movements very natural. “Then let’s go to the next match… pfft~”

A column of blood spurted out of his mouth, and Yuri-chan stumbled a few steps and fell towards Ikki.

"Yusato-chan!"

As expected by Yuri-chan, Ikki caught her. In a place where no one could see, Yuri-chan put a folded handkerchief into Ikki's pocket.

After all, Oreki Yuri had this kind of physique, and the people who came to investigate couldn't see anything, so they just pretended nothing had happened.

Ikki was locked up in the small dark room again.

Blocking the surveillance camera with his body, Ikki took out a handkerchief from his pocket and spread it out...a strand of red hair was revealed.

"..."

There was a long silence.

Stella... Ikki carefully pressed the hair towards his heart. In his eyes, this was the most precious treasure! In an instant, the emotions surging in his heart seemed to ignite.

"Yusato-chan, how is Ikki?"

Meanwhile, Yuri-chan is also being pestered after returning. Stella shows a lot of urgency and is concerned about Ikki's condition.

"Don't worry, Stella-chan~"

Yuri-chan took a breath to make sure she wouldn't vomit blood again, then she said slowly, "Ikki looks much better now, and he won the trials easily..."

……

On the other side, Ikki was no longer silent and made a request to Akaza at the interrogation meeting that day, "Akaza, I want to see my father!"

"Aha?"

"Hei Tieyan is the branch chief here. I want to appeal my innocence directly to him."

"Ridiculous, what are you talking about..."

Just then, a text message arrived—it was from Kurogane Takeru. Director Kurono had, through some private means, assisted Ikki in this victory.

In a tall building overlooking the city, Hei Tieyan sat in front of a French window in a suit and tie. "I heard you've been winning the trials."

"It is said that the opponents are not ordinary people either. It is really amazing."

"..."

Ikki remained silent. If Byakuya hadn't mentioned it, he would have been very excited, right? But now... Ikki had already guessed what would happen next.

"I know what you mean, Father."

It was cruel, but since he had prepared himself mentally in advance... Ikki still unconsciously clenched his fists. "Because of my low magic power, I shouldn't have succeeded, right?"

"...No, I'm well aware of your talent in swordsmanship, but times have changed."

Kurogane Yan slowly turned his swivel chair and looked at Kurogane Ikki with a serious look for the first time. "If it's just about kendo, the Kurogane family can even pave the way for you."

"But the Magic Knight can't do that. Someone without any talent somehow managed to succeed..."

(I have mentioned it before, so I will not repeat it here.)

Ikki lowered his head deeply, his bangs casting a large shadow over his face. Although he had been prepared, but hearing it again... it was still very uncomfortable!

"If you can't do anything, then don't do anything. That's all I expect of you..."

"Father!"

Finally, Ikki slowly raised his head and shouted loudly, his facial expression indescribably complicated, "Actually, someone has said this to me before."

"That man told me that my father was like that. But he also told me..."

Having said that, Ikki paused for a moment, and his gaze towards Kurotsuchi Yan gradually became firmer. "If I can become a [Demon], can you truly acknowledge me?"

30. One-knife Rakshasa!

"..."

Heitie Yan was silent for a while. As for the demon, he didn't ask about it. Instead, he kept a serious face and said, "You have always been my son."

"Not this kind of admission!"

Ikki's powerful voice drowned out Kurotsuchi Yan, his eyes fixed on his father, "What I want is your sincere recognition, for you to be proud of me!"

"..."

There was another long silence.

Finally, it was Kurogane Yan who spoke first, "Ikki, the demon's domain... is not so easy to reach."

"I'll make it."

Those powerful words. Ikki looked deeply at his father, then walked away with a resolute stride. "On that day, I will return with honor."

emmm...

On the empty floor, Hei Tieyan maintained the same posture as before and remained silent for a long time.

Ikki actually came up with the concept of "Majin," so it's clear someone had contacted him. Who could it be? Internationally, most Majins are well-established; it couldn't be them.
