Tanuki Rise of the Yokai Clan

He didn't waste his time with Shenyun after he learned all of his techniques. However, he had to say the reward he got from Shenhua was extremely useful since it made it even easier for him to learn Seisenjutsu.

Moreover, he could also try to develop many other techniques since he had a talent for Seisenjutu.

Nevertheless, the techniques he got from Shenyun were quite good since Shenyun's specialty was an illusion, and his illusion was even better than her sister's. Moreover, he could also develop his technique even further.

Frankly, he knew that it might be weird for him to say this, but while his learning speed was so fast that he could master any techniques and skills almost in an instant, he knew that he didn't have a talent for them.

A talent... this might be a strange way to describe it, but if he had to say, it was like an ability to walk on an uncharted path. While many would lose on the path to reach their destination, those with talent would be able to find their goal.

Meanwhile, what he was doing was just following the path that one had walked. He saw them standing at their destination before using his learning ability to trace their path almost instantaneously.

In other words, all he could do was copy.

The stronger someone he copied, the better.

However, if he didn't have anyone to copy or learn from, then he was pretty much useless since he didn't have the ability to walk on the uncharted path.

Naturally, it was only limited to other things, such as sword technique or others, but for the innate abilities of Tanuki, it was a simple matter for him.

Moreover, even if he didn't have much talent, he didn't think that anyone in this world could defeat him. Even if he couldn't win, it was impossible to win against him since if he wanted to run away, who could stop him?

Now, he had gotten a few rewards from a few girls during his stay on the Asterisk, but as a boy, he had to be ambitious. His target this time was the main heroines, and he also wanted Ser-Vesta, the weapon which was held by the protagonist.

The plan and the preparation had been made, but the others didn't know what he thought since all of them furiously tried to capture his picture on camera.

As the winner of the Jie Long tournament, he became the center of attention. Moreover, he was so handsome, so his popularity was even higher. No one was missing, and all of them stayed at the closing ceremony.

Xinglou personally came to give him the reward for winning the tournament, yet the students of the Jie Long, felt like this was a humiliation since it was the first time for the students from the other school to win their tournament. Yet, what could they do since right now, he had won, so the only way to wash this humiliation was to enter the Festa.

In other words, the Phoenix!

Since they were sure that he would participate in this Festa.

By then, it would be their turn to crush him!

This humiliation... they were going to repay it ten times folds!

"You have made the entire students of Jie Long into your enemies." Xinglou smiled brightly as she gave him the rewards for the tournament.

The reward was quite simple, which was a sum of money and a badge.

"That's a good thing, right?"

Xinglou laughed. "I like you. Why don't you go to Jie Long." While she wanted to fight him, she also wanted to teach him since no teacher disliked having a talented student. Moreover, his attitude and personality were what she liked the most about him.

While many people thought of him as arrogant, she thought of him as a man who would do anything to achieve his ambition and goal. He knew what he wanted in his life, and he made sure that he would get all of them.

Many might have hesitated, but he wasn't.

In other words, he was ballsy.

"Sorry, I have transferred to a different school."

"Really?" Xinglou was surprised. "Which school?"

"You will know tomorrow, but when the Festa ends, please don't forget about our appointment."

Xinglou grinned. "I hope that you can become stronger, or else you will disappoint me."

"Don't worry. You won't be disappointed."

"I can't wait for that."

Her desire was clearly told on her face like a shark, which smelled the scent of fresh blood.

When the ceremony ended, he was surrounded by many reporters, and their questions were similar.

"Which school are you going to join, Inugami-san?"

This was the question that they wanted to know the most.

His victory showed that his strength had reached Page One since he was able to defeat Shenyun Li. Moreover, Page One on the Jie Long was stronger than other schools, so no one doubted his ability. Even if they spent a lot of money to invite him, many thought that it was worth it, especially with the popularity he gained from this tournament. Therefore, even if he was unable to win the Festa, his result wouldn't be bad.

"You will know my answer tomorrow."

He didn't give a clear answer before he quickly left with Irene and Priscilla.

"Okay, let's have a party!"

He got money and thought about throwing a party with two sisters.

"OOOOH!" Irene raised her hand happily, affected by the festive mood.

Priscilla was a bit embarrassed, but she also followed.

He thought that they should eat outside, but in the end, they decided to have dinner at the house as usual, but he decided to buy a few pricey ingredients, which the two sisters agreed to win without hesitation.

"How can we have a party without wine? I will buy it!"

Leaving those words, Irene left to buy various alcohols alone, leaving those two alone. Naturally, she used her money since she was also happy with his victory.

"Geez, Onee-chan..." Priscilla was helpless, but then she became nervous and blushed since she was alone with him.

"There is nothing we can do. Let's buy all the ingredients first."

"Yes."

The two were helpless, but they knew how Irene was.

Still, they quickly changed gears as they bought many ingredients, including the famous jamon serrano.

"...Is it okay to buy this?" Priscilla gulped as she looked at the large cured ham in front of her.

"It's a celebration, so why not? I also got a prize from the tournament, and we can eat a little extravagantly, so I hope that you can make a good dinner, Chef Priscilla."

Priscilla laughed. "Leave it to me."

The two had fun as they bought many things.

Naturally, he was in charge of bringing the shopping bags. Priscilla might be a Genestellar, so she wasn't weak, but as a man, it was a gentlemanly act to do. However, during their outing, he noticed that she had suddenly disappeared, which made him speechless, but he quickly found her in the alley nearby, and unsurprisingly enough, she seemed to be in trouble.

"Don't... Please let me go!"

He saw her surrounded by several men.

"Hey, quit making so much noise! We hate extra work!"

"That's right. And don't blame us for this. Blame your sister!"

There were five men that surrounded her, and they were about to silence her voice.

He dashed forward without hesitation and kicked all of them.

"Wh—!"

"Who—"

Before they reacted, all of them were beaten by his kick and passed out with various injuries on their bodies.

"You okay, Priscilla?"

Priscilla, who almost gave up the struggle, saw him, who had saved her, blinked her eyes before she cried and hugged him tightly, feeling relieved as he was by her side.

"Inugami-san!"

"There, there. It's okay."

He also hugged her back and comforted her, gently caressing her hair and telling her everything was okay.

However, on the corner of the alley, he noticed something.

A purple-haired boy with a goofy-goofy expression stood at the corner, silently watching them.

"......."

'Scary!'
