The Sword Deity in Tokyo

Chapter 264: Plans For The Summer Holidays

A few days later, it was the end of the final examination, and the entire school building erupted into joyful cheers. The sounds of chattering echoed incessantly. The end of the final examination would be followed by a few days in which the teachers would mark the papers, and it would then be the summer holidays. It would be a long holiday of more than a month, and every student would feel completely relieved when it arrives.

Harunaka had arrived early at the Kendo Association, and Kimura Kazuki arrived a few moments later. After greeting the members, he went to look for Harunaka.

“Senpai… Is something up?” As Kimura Kazuki had taken the initiative to look for her, Harunaka was excited and perturbed.

According to her knowledge of senpai, he had never taken the initiative to look for any girl, at least not in Sakura Kyu High School. Of course… This was what Natsui told her.

At noon, Harunaka had received a message from senpai, who told her to wait for him at the Kendo Association. At first, she thought that senpai wanted to find out how they did in the exams, but now that the senior was only looking for her, it was obviously nothing about the finals.

“What are your plans for the summer?” Kimura Kazuki asked directly.

Harunaka opened her mouth slightly. She almost said that she was going to attend the extra classes, but she stopped immediately. If it were to be someone else, she would have responded like that. But when senpai asked her, she anxiously touched her hair. She was clearly not prepared for this, and her tone sounded a little nervous. “I have no plans for the summer holidays.”

“Do you want to come with me to Kyoto?”

“What?” Harunaka looked at her senpai in surprise. She never thought that happiness would come so suddenly. “Travelling in Kyoto? Of course!” As she was speaking, she looked down, and said shyly, “Senpai, is it going to be just the two of us? I… am not ready yet.”

Kimura Kazuki shook his head slightly. “No… Someone asked me to settle something. If you want to go, I can bring you along.”

Dealing with the recent matters had drained Kimura Kazuki. Things had been happening consecutively, and he could not handle all of them. Hence, he had an idea to set up a small team. It would not need many members, perhaps just ten at most. Why did the combat department of the previous Spiritual Academy set up teams of five members? That was because all of them had different positions, hence they could divide the task and work together.

In the future if an emergency were to come up when he is dealing with something, he could pass it on to the others.

Most importantly, when there were more people, they could disperse themselves out. This would increase the probability of finding a spirit. If they could not settle the matter, they could just look for him, and they could distribute the reiki evenly once he had settled it.

Until now, he had been looking for apparitions alone, so it felt like a game of luck. Even if he could find a spirit, his effort would be wasted if its obsession was something that he was not good at.

Kawachi’s obsession was coincidentally settled with Chiba Shiori’s help. He would have gone crazy if he had to settle it, as he did not know how to write a novel!

By setting up a small team, he could let the others settle it if he met spirits with obsessions that he could not comprehend. He came up with this idea when Chiba Shiori told him to build a spirit-resting website, and this idea stayed in his heart ever since then. Now, he was prepared to implement it properly.

He had even chosen his candidates. If Harunaka wished to join, he would definitely include her too. As for the other candidates, he also had some rough ideas. The list consisted of Ikioi Ito, Kageyama Kuro, Tomoya Saito, Yuma Sugawara, Katsuki Sugawara, Yayoi Momoi, and his disciple Yagyu Shizuka. Finally, Chiba Shiori was also on the list.

Although Chiba Shiori was not a cultivator, she was very smart. Kimura Kazuki believed that the sum of the intelligence of Ikioi Ito and the others would not be able to beat Chiba Shiori alone. She could totally be the strategist or the brain of the team.

Although the cultivation of Ikioi Ito and the others was rather low, those who had reached the Second Foundation State could be considered geniuses among the younger generation in this age where reiki had not been recuperated.

According to Huaxia, Ikioi Ito and the others were the eldest sons in their respective families, and they would become the head of the household in the future. Kimura Kazuki was also preparing for the future because once they had inherited the position as the head of the household, his network would then be expanded to almost the entire Ancient Kendo Community.

Even if the reiki could not be recuperated then, he should still be able to reach the Metamorphosis State. As for a higher state, it would depend on his luck.

When she heard this, Harunaka sighed a breath of relief in her heart. Although she wanted to be senpai’s girlfriend immediately, she also thought that it was too soon. The feeling of dilemma and conflict had made her really nervous just now. Now that it seemed like he wanted to bring her along to attend to a matter, Harunaka was of course completely fine with it. “No problem senpai, I will be on standby!” Her eyes sparkled with excitement as she asked, “Senpai, is it a supernatural event that you need to settle?”

Ever since she had learned about the sword power, and showered in the Dragon Bone Soup, Harunaka felt that the world was different. She could feel her own power. In the past, she did not even dare to imagine that she would be able to manifest a powerful sword style such as the Youbi Sword Drawing Skill. She did not know how strong her senior was, but perhaps she would be able to witness it during the summer holidays.

“Yes.” Kimura Kazuki felt complicated as he said this word.

Once he found out that Furuhashi Sakurakyu’s obsession would need at least four years to be fulfilled, he had decided that he would just let Furuhashi Sakurakyu be Harunaka’s guardian spirit.

The cultivators in ancient Huaxia would take years to fulfill a spirit’s obsession because the transport and communication back then was so inconvenient. It would be amazing if one could meet a few spirits in his entire lifespan.

However, after he travelled back in time, the number of spirits and demons that he had met in those few months, excluding his freshman year, was equal to the number that a cultivator in the ancient era would meet throughout their lifespan. Hence, letting Furuhashi Sakurakyu be Harunaka’s guardian spirit could improve her combative power significantly. Furuhashi Sakurakyu would also not be able to disturb him at home everyday by asking him weird questions or setting him up with girls.

Harunaka clearly did not know that she would be reunited with her mother soon. After scheduling a meet up with her senpai excitedly, she left.

Kimura Kazuki had already left the Kendo Association, as he was the President of the Sword Believers’ Club after all. Participating in the Jade Dragon Flag was merely to fulfill Furuhashi Sakurakyu’s obsession.

Although he found out that Furuhashi Sakurakyu’s obsession would need at least another four years to be fulfilled, he was content to win the Jade Dragon Flag Competition, and receive the reward from the school and Director Furuhashi.

Shortly after that, Kimura Kazuki arrived at Akihide High School in Seigyoku District. He went to a family restaurant with Chiba Shiori. After ordering a random drink, Kimura Kazuki took out a silver ring from his pocket, and placed it on the table. He looked at Chiba Shiori and said, “This is a gift for you!”

The moment she saw the ring, Chiba Shiori’s heart beat erratically, but she quickly calmed down after she thought of something. She took the ring, examined it and asked curiously, “What is the function of the ring?”

“For cultivators, not much. But for an ordinary person, the ring can give you the power to see the specters and use the Enchanted Talisman.”
