Chapter 548 – Episode 59. Because He’s a Teacher.
The head hall of the Naruse Mansion was located deep inside the mansion. While most of the Naruse residences were built in a modern Western style, the Tangjujeon was a Japanese-style building, so it was immediately recognizable. Is Hirohide Naruse’s tastes Japanese? ?
Koyo Naruse said he was currently conducting an inspection and had summoned all the guards, so we were able to get close to the main hall without any hindrance.
However, because there were guards under the direct command of the head of the clan, we had no choice but to start the battle near the Danjujeon Hall. As we got closer, many escorts with rifles started shooting.
“Ryuta, can Alrik get rid of them?”
“Yes, try it.”
Alrik had no qualms about killing because he had been a slave for several years and had spent the previous years wandering alone in the northern part of the Korean peninsula in the era of the Reverse West where magic bandits roamed around after losing his mother. When asked before he said his first murder was when he was twelve. But to grow up so well and cutely was, of course, our Alic’s best.
When I gave permission, Alrik ran ahead. Countless shots were fired at Alric, who suddenly jumped out, but all the bullets that touched Alric’s unique electric charge shield melted and fell to the ground.
I used telekinesis to levitate the melted bullets into the air before they fell to the ground and fired them again. I continued to practice telekinesis, and now I can do this in an instant. Of course, since it was fired with molten lead that had no physical power, it didn’t have much killing power, but those who were unable to dodge were hit and screamed, becoming momentarily incapable of combat. This is enough. The kids who came with us will take care of the rest.
While Alric was swinging his sword wildly with electricity-filled blows, causing electric shock and death at the same time, causing disaster, Otagi Yuka was also showing off her blood with the golden sword, the vampire’s exclusive weapon, which she acquired in New York.
Once it hurt, it was over. After causing a blood explosion on a bleeding enemy with the power of blood, enemies wounded by the blood explosion also became the target of the blood explosion. As expected, he was like a vampire who was almost peerless against the weak without such magical protection. Of course, Otagi Yuka is a high blood who is close to the Otagi family lineage, so she can exert this level of power, but an ordinary vampire cannot do this.
In comparison, Saionji Diana was holding a shield and a rifle next to me, setting up her shield and shooting. Compared to the performance of the two, she was simple, but with her strength strengthened by the cyber implant, she was holding a shield in one hand and a light machine gun in the other, sweeping the area. 〈 Br〉
Carrying a light machine gun with one hand… As expected, the cyber implant was good. Diana Saionji also seemed to have decided on her fighting style. With the cyber implant character’s unique and overwhelming physical ability, the guys used heavy but powerful weapons to clear distances and approach, and it seemed like they were trying to go for a style that was skilled at both long and close range, cutting with swordsmanship.
Coo… !
While we were massacring the head’s guard, a heavy energy wave swept around the area as if Hirohide Naruse had appeared. Thousands of paper shikigami suddenly flew out from behind the wall like butterflies and began to assist the guards, and the rate at which the guards died began to decrease.
The next paper shikigami appeared were the same Tetsuki-level monsters I had fought. The paper shikigami seemed to have been summoned for the purpose of buying some time.
“Mr. Leave this to us and go to the head of the Naruse family and take care of it!”
Otagi Yuka shouted at me, swinging her sword with her blood burning. That’s right, it’s Naruse Hirohide who wields dozens and hundreds of shikigami, but if we fight like this, time will only be wasted.
I ignored the rain of bullets and paper shikigami and ran towards the main battle hall. Because I was wearing the cyber suit provided by Eve, I was able to cross the wall and enter the main hall without getting hurt by gunfire.
Whoo!
The moment I climbed over the wall and landed on the ground, a one-eyed monster wearing a hat and carrying a sword came swinging the sword. I instantly stretched out my hand, lifted the blade, and struck the monster’s abdomen. Because the attack was filled with the abyss, the monster became unable to fight in one hit.
The more you kill Naruse Hirohide’s shikigami, the fewer youkai Koyo Naruse will inherit, so if possible, I wasn’t planning on killing him like Tetsuki, who I had dealt with earlier. If Koyou Naruse becomes the head of the family, he can get help at any time, so I have to help him maintain a strong power. Of course, if there is no other way than to kill them, they will use their hands mercilessly.
“Are you the cause of this commotion?”
It was a middle-aged man wearing a gariginu. Looking at it this way, it looks a lot like Ginji Naruse. I didn’t know if he knew about Naruse Kinji’s death, but the way he looked at me was very cold.
“No, you are the cause of this commotion.”
If I hadn’t used Naruse Shiyo to seal the dragon in the first place, today’s incident wouldn’t have happened. Of course, if you say it this way, it can be said to be unreasonable because it goes as far as to say that Japan should not have traded with the West in the first place, but… That wasn’t my part-time job. As a teacher, I just came to save my students.
“Hmm, just die.”
Hirohide Naruse must have thought that he couldn’t communicate anymore after seeing me acting unreasonably, so he summoned three monsters in an instant.
I am a giant monster that can be seen over 3 meters tall, wearing general armor and a helmet! A huge snake that seemed to be claiming, and a golden-furred tiger that was also quite large were blocking my path.
Looking at the force he felt, it seemed like he was a shikigami one level higher than Tetsuki. At one level, even if it’s 3 to 1, I can easily deal with it on my own.
When you were outnumbered like this, it was a sure victory. I rushed in first and slammed my fist between the eyes of the golden tiger in front.
-Whoosh!
The tiger couldn’t stand the pain and fell down in tears. The next thing that happened was the giant samurai.
Whoo!
It was a sword strike on a completely different level than the swordsman monster wearing a hat just now. Should you have brought Irene Shimokawabe? I’m a bit of a battle fanatic, but I think I would have enjoyed it a lot if I had a sword fight here.
Perhaps because it was an opponent that used technology, it was quite difficult to disable it. In particular, I don’t know what the armor is made of, but it was blocking my abyss-filled fists well. Meanwhile, the golden tiger that had fallen recovered from the pain and attacked me.
Since it would have been more difficult to attack from three sides, I glanced at what the Imoogi was doing and fortunately, it was protecting Hirohide Naruse. It looks like one is on defense and the other is on offense.
Hehe!
A paw that was almost twice the size of a person’s face swung around and came in front of my eyes. I grabbed the tiger’s ankle and held it against the giant samurai’s sword, which was cutting into my back.
Window!
The blade clashed with the tiger’s claws, and flames rose. I swung my foot at the tiger that was holding me by the ankle and kicked the part of the body that was not protected by bone below the ribs.
Shinkaiyatsude (深海八手) Fureashitsuyoha (tactile wave)
Shinkaiyatsude Chosik unfolds, swinging his foot, and from where he struck, an abyss wave rushes out and sweeps the surroundings. The tiger bounced away with a huff, and the rebound pushed me to where the giant samurai was.
Shinkaiyatsude (深海八手) Kuroyamota (Black Mountain High School)
Using the force of the push, he unfolded Heuksango, a version of Shinkaiyatsude that is struck with the back and shoulders, and struck the giant samurai’s solar plexus on his back.
Kwaaang!
A tremendous roar was heard and the armor exploded. After all, using Shinkaiyatsude Chosik is much stronger than just throwing in Abyss and hitting. I turned my body around and used Heuksango’s combo Chosik with my elbow.
Shinkaiyatsude (深海八手) Kaitenchufure (revolving blade)
My elbow gets stuck on the damaged armor after already being hit by Heuksango once. The armor bursts completely open, and the giant samurai falls to his knees, holding his stomach.
Sigh!
The moment I hit the giant samurai with my elbow, I heard the sound of something being shot, and it was the sound of an Imoogi gathering and unfolding its body like a spring and shooting at me.
Like a bullfighter, I dodged the snake head that was being shot at me and wrapped my arms around its neck. Since the snake was already being shot, I, holding it tightly by the neck, went in with it and crashed into the wall of Dangjujeon.
Kwaang!
The wall collapsed and a cloud of dust rose up. It was none of my business whether the wall collapsed or all the buildings in the Naruse mansion collapsed. I kept tightening my arms. The Imoogi, which felt the pressure of a press machine on its her neck her, flailed around like a salted loach, but soon the blood flow to the brain her was cut off, so its movements her gradually became dull and soon became quiet. I unwrapped my hands from around my neck, stood up, and approached Hirohide Naruse.
“Looking at his body shape his, is he Fujigasaki himself, and not his student his?”
Seeing him say the master’s name, it seemed like he recognized my martial arts skills. Yes, even if you know Master, don’t look at him. Still, since he could be Master’s acquaintance, should I spare his life
“If you pass on your shikigami to Mr. Koyou and retire, I will spare your life.”
“Are you just being arrogant after taking care of my three shikigami?”
Of course, because I heard it from Naruse Koyou, I knew that Naruse Hirohide still had a lot of strength left. I was just trying to save his life because I was an acquaintance of Master. He seemed to lack sensitivity to the weak, perhaps because he had been the head of the family for too long and was overwhelmingly stronger than the people in his family. There doesn’t seem to be any thought that he might lose. Of course, I never even thought that I could lose.

The steps for creating an AI painting by an artist you might not be very curious about.
1. First, select dozens of small-sized pictures. Select the photo you like and save it.
2. Edit the saved illustration with high-resolution correction + facial correction.
3. Here, you can use Clip Studio to directly edit your fingers or any details you don’t like. (Usually this process is done 3 times just for the cover page. So I skipped it this time too haha)
4. Post it in a serial or notice.
