The Sword Deity in Tokyo
Chapter 79: Walking And Looking Around

Even though the Sudden Flash was already pretty fast, but Kazuki knew that he could cast the skill even quicker. He was merely using the Sudden Flash on Isshin Yagyu's memories just now.

However, it was apparent that Isshin Yagyu had not reached the Kenshin Tsumei State and was a Swordsman at best. Kazuki had reached Kenshin Tsumei, and in his previous life, no matter the cultivation, as long as the Kenshin Tsumei State was attained, one would be titled a Sword Fairy.

A Sword Fairy was able to use anything as a sword. Those with mastery in it were able to utilize their body as a sword where every single part of their body could be used to kill. On the other hand, those with full mastery were able to kill soundlessly by forming blades from the focus of their gaze alone.

Anything could turn into a sharp sword in his hand, and all the sword techniques that he used could be significantly improved overall.

Like for the Sudden Flash, Isshin Yagyu was aided by the movement of his arms with some reiki to perform this extremely fast killing move. The key here did not lie in reiki, rather, the precise control of all the muscles in his body.

Muscle control was not an ability that he knew before, but after absorbing the spirit of the Yagyu Flying Sword Style, Isshin Yagyu's battle experience, his understanding of Kendo, the control over his body and other skills had also been absorbed.

He just needed half a month of training to meld and absorb everything within this spirit. After all, his body needed some time to get used to these changes.

His objective for the next half a month is to change from unconsciously utilizing a sword skill to consciously casting the sword skill. 

Looking at the chair on the floor that had been halved, Kazuki cleaned up slightly before getting on his bed to rest. He wanted to try the other sword techniques, such as the "Single Flash Sword Drawing Skill" and the "Ten Thousand Flash."

Yet, these were not techniques that he could perform in the confines of his narrow room. Moreover, he had to attend an offline meeting of the 'Light Novel Space' together with Chiba Shiori, plus he did not feel like training his sword skills out in the backyard of his school right now.

Thinking about this, he suppressed his excitement as he lay back on his bed and quickly fell asleep.

He woke up early the next day. After quickly washing his face, he took out 'The Art of Kendo' from his drawer and found out that the 16th page was indeed missing. Furthermore, the other pages were not glowing with fluorescence, which meant that there would not be any other techniques for him to absorb in the near future.

However, Kazuki had confidence in his heart as he had now obtained the Yagyu Flying Sword Style. Moreover, Kazuki finally understood why he felt different last night after he woke up, but at the same time, he still did not fully understand why. After this sleep, the spirit had merged deeper with him, and he understood that the strangeness he felt last night was the control he had over his body.

This was a marvelous ability that could barely be described by words, but he could indeed feel an enormous change, which came as a delightful surprise.

His sight and agility had also gotten a considerable boost.

If he could only be considered a student before this who had a grasp of reiki and was able to somewhat utilize it, now, he is a master, and nothing can escape his eyes.

He knew that this was actually due to the accumulated battle experience throughout Isshin Yagyu's life, but this was exactly what Kazuki needed.

At precisely twelve noon, Kazuki reached Akihabara.

There were many pedestrians in Akihabara during the weekends as most of the homebodies would choose to come here during this period. In actual fact, the Japanese were not particularly fond of homebodies and could even be said as hateful toward them.

Each homebody was a burden in Japan where they were facing problems such as an aging population, a stagnant economy, and a low rate of birth. Thus, mainstream society was not too kind to them.

ACG was one of the leading industry pillars of Japan and was one of its main cultural export methods. Hence, Japan's ACG development is the top in the world in terms of growth.

While Kazuki had no interest in anime and manga, he could feel the fantasy atmosphere as soon as he reached Akihabara. This was the vibe that the pedestrians gave out. Even at the station, he could see many people in strange costumes. He knew that these girls and boys were cosplaying anime characters.

Most of the conversations among pedestrians were about manga, anime, or light novels. Terms like anime conventions, maid cafes, figurines, and posters were everywhere.

He exited the station and came to the agreed rendezvous point with Chiba Shiori.

Chiba Shiori was already there, and from her clothing and makeup, it seemed like she valued this offline meeting a lot, making her stand out even more. It was easy to see how beautiful she was from the glances of those around her.

That perfect face that was flawless from every angle was the best gift that heaven has bestowed upon her.

"You're here." Although Chiba Shiori was just standing there, she would glance around her from time to time, raising her face eagerly in anticipation. Once she saw Kazuki, her face lit up unconsciously.

She walked up to him and was just about to grab his arms, but then she stopped short when she remembered that they were not that close.

Kazuki nodded and did not ask about how long she had waited for him because he had arrived on time and was even a few minutes early. Hence, he was not technically late. Though he could feel the killer stares from the boys around him, he paid them no mind. This was how powerful Chiba Shiori's looks were, and now that he was standing next to her, he would naturally have to bear with it.

And today, he would be Chiba Shiori's knight in shining armor.

"The meet-up point is at Moe-chan's Cafe. Are we going there now… or?" Chiba Shiori checked the time. Although she might have been a light novel writer, she rarely came to Akihabara and wanted to walk around since there was still more than an hour before the meet-up time.

"Let's walk around first." Kazuki looked around at Akihabara. Almost all of the stores were filled with anime posters or video game advertisements, and many cosplayers were standing outside the stores to attract customers, especially the maid cafes.

At that moment, he strongly agreed that Akihabara was indeed heaven for those who liked the 2D world. Apparently, it was initially an electronics street. Somehow, it had evolved into its current state.

He wanted to look around. Not only to know Akihabara better, but also to try his luck in finding a dorsal spirit-like Akie Hanzawa or a Land Bounded Spirit.

Hence, compared to waiting at the cafe, he very much preferred to wander around. Who knew if he would get lucky and meet something like that old lady in Suiryu Duplex Apartment. If he had been there earlier, he could have obtained a full apparition and able to find out about her obsessiveness from her firsthand.

Unlike now where he was still unclear about the old lady's information. In fact, he did not even know her name and could only keep her in the Sun and Moon Sword.

"With your personality, I would have thought that you would just wait directly in the cafe." Chiba Shiori was a little surprised.

Kazuki gave her a side glance, "Let's walk around, see if we can encounter a specter or something…"

Chiba Shiori was suddenly at a loss for words.
