Chapter 12 - Returning the Favor

Yuuki calculated that the number of the shuuki are more than he anticipated and expected. He needed to let loose summoning his sword, surprising Himari when he saw him bring a sword but didn't have time and rushed to the battle.

"Yuuki!"

Kyouka called out to him while he cloned himself as Kyouka saw the original vanish, surprising her wondering if it was his power or martial art skills. Shushu turned into her giant form with Himari on her shoulder.

'Shushu's giant form won't last long and I don't have many ways to attack. Even with the barrier the dorm might be in danger'

Himari thought as she looked at the swarm of shuuki and they were rapidly increasing.

"There are certainly a lot, huh? It's even more than when I first came into Mato. This brings back a lot of memories. "

Yuuki appeared from Shushu's other shoulder as both of them didn't notice him and were standing calmly looking at the shuuki below as if it was normal for him. They saw him holding a sword wearing his battle gear.

'How did he get here!?'

Shushu and Himari thought to themselves having a higher sense than other people but unable to detect his arrival as if he was a shadow.

"There's no need for you to fight right now. Let me Let loose."

He told them as his demeanor changed exhaling and they could feel his presence was almost disappearing and thought that he was being enveloped by shadow. Kyouka jumped up to their height on clone slave and said,

"Do as he said Yuuki take Half and I'll take half Understood!?"

He didn't mind since they were weak and wouldn't provide any excitement. They looked towards Yuuki who just smiled at them and jumped off the shoulder of Shushu.

[ Shadowed Blade of the End ]

The moment he was on the ground he gripped his sword tightly where his shadow appeared like it was growing, consuming the shuuki around him, shocking Shushu and Himari pondering to what extent are his abilities.

[ Heaven Obliterating Demon Shadow Blade ]

The swing of his sword turned into a shadow with purple accent and what followed was the surrounding Shuuki were sliced and cleaved in over a dozen sections as Yuuki's eyes had a black sclera and purple pupil different from his [ Ultra Instinct] where his pupil would turn white.

'It's still sloppy compared to what I intended….'

He thought to himself far weaker than he was willing to admit. Yuuki believed that because he had to exchange his stats for the three abilities that he still had the same overall capabilities when he fought Fubuki or slightly weaker.

However, this is considering if he doesn't use his new abilities and even then is extremely powerful without them due to his personality.

Yuuki then continued to zoom around the battlefield, cutting down Shuuki with his sword one by one. Shushu and Himari who were watching were dumbfounded

"H-He's that strong....."

Shushu said in astonishment while Himari didn't even reply. She looked at the chief and saw the other Yuuki there mowing down enemies too. Meanwhile, His clone was not far from demolishing the entire crowd of Shuuki with his devastating fist.

Kyouka saw the original mowing down the shuuki showcasing an unbelievable skill in his blade comparable if not better than he rown technique.

'This is like when Riu-san's husband.'

She thought of herself finding his swordsmanship was comparable to Chief from another unit and the person who trained her at the skills and prowess he displayed. His movement didn't have any moment of hesitation as if he had slaughtered countless Shuuki before that it had numbed his senses.

"How long have you been fighting?"

Kyouka asked the clone as he grabbed a shuuki by the leg and used it like a nunchuck slammed it to the other shuuki until nothing was left.

"I was already a skilled fighter before gaining my ability and the reason I almost died was because the force I faced was too overwhelming. I was lucky that I survived."

Yuuki explained while he clenched his fist taking a stance where he gathered his strength into his fist.

[ Full Contact Karate - Dance of the four gods, 1st stance: Ballistic fist 3 combo ]

The shockwave of his attack caused a sonic boom that destroyed the entire crowd of Shuuki in front of them. Kyouka started to appreciate his prowess even more and held his chain tightly making Yuuki stronger than before. Their relationship is Symbiotic relationship where both benefit in the end.

"Is there a limit to your clone?"( Kyouka )

"My stats split between them meaning the more clones I have the lesser power I have but that isn't an issue. " ( Yuuki )

"I somewhat doubt that. Are those moves you've been doing part of your ability?" ( Kyouka )

"No, those are martial arts that I developed. Maybe I can teach you, but I don't know if it would be easy." ( Yuuki )

[ A/N: Only those he trust and will part of the harem….as if not all of the character won't be part of it ahhahaha maybe not police member of Azuma, the enemies or the old lady, Riu but the rest is fair game. ]

Kyouka is a great example of martial art that can be used since she doesn't have that strong physical power but makes up for her skills.

"Then what were the names of the techniques?" ( Kyouka )

"My original is training his [ Shadowed Blade of the End ] while I used [ Full Contact Karate ] earlier." (Yuuki )

After they were chatting, the original Yuuki exhaled, sheathing his sword surrounded by Shuuki feeling slightly fatigue from it since he was using something he isn't familiar with and had split his power with his clone. He also uses a powerful attack that is still yet complete but this allowed him to reevaluate himself.

"I might have gone a little overboard with this."

He muttered looking at the destruction he caused while scratching the back of his head. Yuuki stored his sword and strength a bit, spreading his clairvoyance to check if there was anything left.

"Yuuki!"

A voice called out from behind him and when he looked around he saw Kyouka riding the clone slave. He dispelled the clone and saw Kyouka walking up to him.

Yuuki knew the reward would be better than before and was a bit lucky that they were far from the others at the moment. Though, he doesn't mind if they found them.

She pulled out another candy and she put it between her teeth and kissed him. Yuuki always thought of experiencing what the real Yuuki had and would have pushed a bit more if it weren't for his integrity. Her soft lips and tongue push the candy into his mouth tasting its sweetness turning her saliva into a nectar.

Kyouka felt her body become hotter from the kiss then pulled back, finding his gaze locked into hers looking full of emotion. He hardly knows her and she is the same yet there is a sense of connection between the two unsure if it was her power or not.

"Ah~♥️ Once again I'm forced to act like a happy-go-lucky lover!!*

She said she threw her cap on the ground and started unbuttoning her uniform. Yuuki smirked at her words and said,

"You say that but aren't you enjoying it as well~"

Kyouka blushes from his remark while Yuuki enjoys the stripped tease.

"Sh-Shut up!! I told you this is the price of my power."

By this time she was already in her underwear and only wore her boots which came upto her thighs. Her white milky breasts and her big soft ass were on full display with only a bra and panty in the way.

"If you feel any better, here."

Kyouka then watched him remove his shirt where it revealed his body then taken aback when she saw a large scar on his chest.

"W-Where did you get that scar?"

She said while her body moved on its own and held his head pulling him down and hugged his head in her boobs. Yuuki wrapped his arms around her waist pulling her closer.

"It's a mark after someone I fought. Even though I fought them using clones, I still consider it one of the best fights I had."

Yuuki subconsciously doesn't heal the wound, treating it as a reward and reminder of the fight. Many would say that his clone was weak and if he didn't split then he would win but even then he is unlikely to win without sustaining a wound.

The manga and this world power standard are so vastly different that he couldn't underestimate them. He tried searching for the Eight Thunder God but couldn't find them and concluded either they were still developing or in hiding. Yuuki won't need to wait that long since he will be fighting two of them in the future.

"You're surely different from other men….they act docile but you…someone who is a genius both in martial art and technology. "

"I'm built differently if anything."

Kyouka giggled at his joke, certainly enjoying his embrace and forgot that the two were naked, then felt body move and her hand caress his front, having a feel of his muscle and the scar on his chest.

"How are you alive then? This scar…it went through the back and it's too large. You mention it was a clone? How come you sustain a wound?"

"Normally I won't take damage if my clones get wounded or die but I enjoyed the fight so much that I subconsciously made this scar on my body like it just appeared."

"...how does that even work?"

"No clue. But one thing I do know, this reminds me that there will be stronger people I would fight."

Yuuki watch her continue to touch his chest and Kyouka decides to ask him something.

"Why do you even fight? Do you have a reason?"

He began to remember the time his friends in his past life asked him why he fights and obsesses in combat.

"I don't. It is just in my blood. I like a good fight that boils my blood. It is one of the few that makes me excited."

Kyouka was surprised by his answer, finding his reason for fighting to be selfish and self centered.

"Maybe, to find my sister but I know she would be fine."

"Your sister?"

"Yeah, she went missing after the Mato Disaster. However, I'm confident that she's fine.*

Yuuki searched where they were and couldn't but he believed she was fine since he has keen intuition when it comes to people important to him if they are in danger. He does feel guilty making her suffer but Yuuki already damages part of Onmyou Agency.

He aims to help her when they meet and bring a few to have a test run to return them back to humans. Yuuki had a choice to let her be by his side but it will prevent him from having the 7th unit to be by his side knowing her sister's character.

Yuuki won't justify his action and will carry his choice forever. Regardless, that's for later and he aims to fight the Eight Thunder God when they arrive. Kyouka retracted her thoughts about it and saw that his reasons are valid.

"Then I'll make sure you will see your sister again."

Kyouka promised while Yuuki nodded appreciating his words.

"That means a lot. Thank you, Kyouka."

Yuuki gave a heartfelt smile that smitten the poor maiden then made it even worse when her head was pulled into his chest.

"W-What are you doing?"

"Returning the favor. Can't let you do all the rewarding."

"But—"

"Shh, just enjoy it."

Kyouka didn't say anything anymore and felt his embrace was familiar as if she had felt it before.

'Remember that you survived for a reason and use this chance to get stronger.'

The voice that kept her moving and aiming for more power flash in her mind recalling the time she was saved by a person referred to as Kuro Oni.

'I wonder what he is doing now…he disappeared a few years ago where his sighting just vanished.'

Kyouka looked at Yuuki who was staring into the distance as she pondered if he was Kuro Oni.

'...is he…no, if he is, I have no evidence to prove it.'

She denies her theory, unaware of this part of Yuuki's [ probability manipulation ] making the obvious answer seem impossible. However, she couldn't shake the feeling that Yuuki is someone important to her.
