347. Dou ki

"Just rest, your brother knows you are here, so he will come to meet you. Talk to him and then decide what you want to do," stated Kenichi

"You would let me go?" asked Rachel in surprise.

"This isn't Yami, you aren't a prisoner and we both know that if your brother really cares about you he won't take you with him. Meaning you will be staying here for some period of time we can't really keep you in Ryozanpaku all the time now can we," said Kenichi

"No, you can't. And don't think that Ethan will won't take me with him. I am the elder sister here so he will do as I say" Rachel said crossing her arms around her bountiful breasts.

"Sure sure whatever lets you sleep in the night," said Kenichi as he walked out of the door to see his Master Akisame standing around in a corner.

"Nicely done Kenichi, it's good that you were able to calm her down. I don't think she would listen to us masters since we were the reason her master is in prison" Akisame said

"Nothing much Master, I am pretty sure Renka would have stopped her from going out of Ryozanpaku even if it meant using her fist," Kenichi said shrugging his shoulders.

"Yeah, I and Kensei just patched the two, and we didn't want to do that again so keep them away from each other will you," Akisame said

"No can do Master, Niijima had gotten some information about Yami from the other ship, and I was going to meet him now to go through the information. Since tomorrow is a holiday, I would most likely be staying there today to find as much useful information as we can" said Kenichi

"Hmm... ok, but don't forget to share the information with us," Akisame said

"Of course it's not like there is anyone who could use that information in any way other than you," replied Kenichi with a smirk.

Akisame smirked in return as well as he started to walk away towards his clinic.

After talking with Akisame and informing him, Kenchi walked out of Ryozanpaku and took out his phone to call Niijima.

"Hello Kenichi is there another attack from Yami coming?" asked Niijima 

"Not at the moment, I am just informing you that I am gonna use one of your hideouts, I need to stay alone for a day. So if anyone asks I was with you for the whole day," Kenichi said

"Oh, so I need to keep myself away from the sight of others?" asked Niijima

"Since you got so much info from the Yami ship, I am sure you will busy with that. So just stay away from others till then that's all" Kenichi said

"Ok, but do you know my hideouts" replied Niijima after thinking for few seconds.

"Not all just the one close to the school," Kenichi replied

"Ah, well I have stacked enough food for weeks so you can eat anything if you are hungry" Niijima stated

"I will" replied Kenichi as he disconnected the call.

After talking with Niijima, Kenichi walled towards the hideout near the school and entered it. The room had only one window which faced the school but it was covered with curtains right now. Kenichi didn't look around much and sat down after stripping himself in his underwear. He didn't know if the assimilation of Dou Ki will dirty his clothes but he didn't want to take any chances.

After settling down, Kenichi popped the spiritual pill into his mouth. True to its name the moment the pill entered his body, Kenichi's spiritual awareness was doubled and he could easily assimilate the ki from his surroundings. He controlled himself from taking in any Sei ki and focused on the assimilation of the Dou Ki.

Since it was his first time with Dou Ki, it took him some time but Kenichi got used to its destructive nature and actively starts to assimilate it.

The process was long and excruciating since he needed to stay focus otherwise his body would start assimilation Sei ki on its own. 

He sat in the same position for the whole day and only after 24 hours were complete did he open his eyes.

"Huff... Damn my back is killing me" said Kenichi as he released a breath.

Kenichi stretched his body a little before he slowly stood up, The current Dou Ki in his body was still at the level of Grandmaster and it would need time for it to reach the same level as his Sei Ki but it won't take that long since his body was already used to it. After the Dou Ki reaches the level of Sei Ki, Kenichi will merge the two to enter the Legendary Class but before that, he will have to genuinely enter the Advance Grandmaster class.

"Hmm... I need to start bringing my other styles to grandmaster level as well, after that I will focus on Advance Grandmaster" though Kenichi as he walked towards the fridge where Niijima had kept the food stash and started to take out food to make them to eat since he is hungry after not eating for 24 hours straight.

_______________________________

After eating the food Kenichi left the hideout and called Niijima informing him that he was going back to Ryozanpaku so he doesn't have to stay hidden. The two of them talked and Kenichi asked for any useful information on Yami which Niijima started he will share personally when he visits Ryozanpaku next time.

After talking with Niijima, Kenichi returned to Ryozanpaku only to hear sounds of a fight going on making him run inside.

As he followed the noise, it led him towards the dojo where he saw Rachel and Renka fighting against each other again.

"What the hell is going on?" Kenichi asked in a voice loud enough for the two fighters to stop and look towards him.

"Kenichi! You are back" said Renka in her cheery voice while Miu who was standing in a corner ran towards him and said "Kenichi can you stop these two, no matter what I say they don't listen"

"Hey Miu that's wrong you know it's this girl's fault why are you blaming me as well," Renka said while pointing towards Rachel

"My fault? It's you people who are keeping me from meeting my brother and it's my fault?"
