Chapter 181: SOS Post

Translator: Larbre Studio  Editor: Larbre Studio

When Kimura Kazuki hung up the phone call by the master of the Ito family, he could not help but smile through his calm composure.

Condominiums in Weier Road had been well-known for a long time. Rumors had it that the monthly rental there exceeded a million.

Hence, it would mean that even if he chose not to stay in the house and rent it out, he would still be a landlord with a monthly income of over a million yen.

Kimura Kazuki was not surprised by the generosity of the Ito family.

This was because the trouble was caused by Ikioi Ito. Since the Ito family had broken the rules, they would naturally have to pay the price.

The house was only a small matter. If this incident was not appropriately settled, the Ito family might be punished by the other families, along with the oppression from the government.

In other words, Ikioi Ito was really a child who lacked discipline.

At this moment, Ikioi Ito was also much more humble and subdued. He knew that he had been reckless, and thankfully the issue was settled. However, it was resolved so quickly that he was left in confusion.

Why did the audience believe whatever Kimura Kazuki said so easily? It might seem like nothing, but it certainly was unbelievable.

Of course, Kimura Kazuki had not answered Ikioi Ito's query.

He had used the 'Heart Terrorizing Bell II' at the venue, wasting much of his reiki to complete Reizan Takamatsu's request.

The 'Heart Terrorizing Bell' was a spell created by a psychologist in the previous world. The first generation of the 'Heart Terrorizing Bell' was very mild and gentle, but its effects were too slow. Meanwhile, this first generation of the spell was what he had taught Furuhas.h.i.+ Sakurakyu.

As for the 'Heart Terrorizing Bell II,' it belonged to the second generation of the spell. Its effects were aggressive and quick; however, it would significantly drain the spell castor's spirit and reiki. Furthermore, it would also negatively impact the live audience as well; they would experience insomnia or suffer from nightmares for a day or two.

Evidently, it did not mean that the audience would believe whatever he says even if he were to use the Heart Terrorizing Bell. For instance, if he were to tell the audience that the Earth is square, the function of the 'Heart Terrorizing Bell II' would be pointless. The audience would just think that you are treating them like fools. The 'Heart Terrorizing Bell II' was not a form of hypnosis but the methodology used to manipulate one's mind. Thus, when using the 'Heart Terrorizing Bell II,' it had to be coupled with a justifiable statement to gain the trust of the audience.

Besides, this was also requested by the deputy chairman, Reizan Takamatsu, as he knew that even if Kimura Kazuki's statements were true, not all the audience members would be convinced by it. He just needed a majority of the audience to believe him…

Till then, they would only need to monitor the online traffic and create even trendier topics to attract the attention of the netizens; the incident would then be covered up.

There would obviously still be implications. However, it would be so minor that it could be overlooked.

This was the reason why Reizan Takamatsu was thanking Kimura Kazuki profusely just now… He had also gained a broader insight into Kimura Kazuki's abilities. Before this, even when Yagyu Kenichiro was describing Kimura Kazuki's exceptional strength, he still had doubts.

When all the audience members had left, Kimura Kazuki and Ikioi Ito stayed on.

They still had another show to put on.

This time, Kimura Kazuki played the role of 'Ikioi Ito' to showcase the 'The Return of the Swallow·Sword Drawing Skill.'

The reason why he was playing the role was because Ikioi Ito had used up all of his reiki. He was still slowly absorbing all the reiki. If he had to use the 'The Return of the Swallow·Sword Drawing Skill' once more, it would be a burden to his body. Hence, his role would be played by Kimura Kazuki.

Meanwhile, Ikioi Ito had naturally played the role of 'Kimura Kazuki.' When both of them began the fight, upon being told by Kimura Kazuki, Ikioi Ito became aware of how Kimura Kazuki reflected his slash that fell from the sky.

He had merely brought the bamboo sword above his head; the tip of the sword was pointed toward the slash that directly targeted him… When he swung his sword downwards, his bamboo sword would evidently be halved. This frustrated Ikioi Ito… He did not expect that he would lose due to this simple trick.

However, even when Ikioi Ito lost the game, he did not do anything unreasonable. He was still persistent in inviting Kimura Kazuki to pair up with him to become idols. After the tournament, Kimura Kazuki's popularity would have reached a greater height, something Ikioi Ito could never catch up no matter how hard he tries.

If Kimura Kazuki agrees, his relations.h.i.+p with Kotone-chan would improve drastically. Unfortunately… Ikioi Ito sighed.

When Ikioi Ito and Kimura Kazuki finished their performance… Reizan Takamatsu heaved a sigh of relief.

He replayed the recording to ensure that it was perfect; that there was no difference with the actual tournament earlier in the afternoon. He gave Kimura Kazuki a thumbs up, then turned a cold shoulder to Ikioi Ito with a cold huff.

Ikioi Ito rubbed his nose awkwardly.

After the 'performance,' Kimura Kazuki bid his farewell. If it was not for the condominium, he would not have bothered about this issue. The commoners were aware that Extraordinary Individuals lived among them in the world. However, it had nothing to do with him as it was not something that should be a concern for a lone ranger like him.

After he exited the Tachibana Budo a.s.sociation, he briefly explained the situation to the teacher-in-charge. As he basked in the admiring eyes of the members from the Kendo a.s.sociation, he also advised Harunaka and her team not to slack off on their training. Although it was the Women's Team tournament tomorrow, they should not be too relaxed. Especially Harunaka, he was afraid that she might be all air-headed having experienced the strength.

However, fortunately, Harunaka still acted as usual. He was relieved for usually when commoners received powers out of the blue, they would, one way or another, feel uncontained. However, looking at how Harunaka was doing, her att.i.tude and humility seemed good.

Right after they arrived at school, Kimura Kazuki bid farewell to everyone.

As their eyes followed Kimura Kazuki as he left, someone said enviously, "How I wish I can have the strength of Head of Department Kimura!"

"Go back and sleep well, then perhaps you'll have Head of Department Kimura's strength," teased Iwai Hokuto.

Furuhas.h.i.+ Harunaka stared at her senior's back; an immense burden fell onto her shoulder.

Back then, she thought that as long as she attended cram school and followed the footsteps of her senior, she would be able to receive validation from him. However, today's compet.i.tion had enlightened her. It led to a realization… that no matter how hard she tried, be it in her studies or in Kendo, she would never be able to come up to his standards.

If she really wanted to catch up with Kimura Kazuki, it might be a challenge of a lifetime. However, this had also further strengthened her goal to overcome this challenge.

The moment Kimura Kazuki reached home, he immediately started replenis.h.i.+ng his reiki in the sea of reiki.

Kimura Kazuki needed a sense of security, too; the amount of reiki in his body symbolized his strength. Hence, he needed to make sure that he had sufficient reiki all the time to maintain his confidence.

After replenis.h.i.+ng his reiki, he logged on to honyaku-zumi.net and started to translate his own mission.

Although he was wealthy enough, he did not give up on his translation work. Since it merely took a little time off his night to complete the job, why not go ahead with it?

When the clock struck nine…

The phone on his table started to buzz.

He picked up his phone, and his gaze turned solemn. It was a message from the automated system of the spirit-resting website.

He immediately logged in to the admin page of the website on his computer and found an 'SOS post.' His eyes were filled with surprise.

This was the first 'SOS post' that the spirit-resting website had ever received since its founding.
