System Evolution Of Soul - zChapter 305

———————————–

(POV Kenichi)

After talking to Furinji-san, the two of us arrived at what looked like a small Japanese mansion… I thought she would take me to a Dojo or something like that, but apparently, this was her home!

T-This was the first time that I had come to a girl’s house… therefore, I was even more nervous than before! No… rather than coming to a girl’s house, this was probably the first time I had visited a classmate from my school.

So, to calm my nervousness, I tried to think that it was a bit surprising that Furinji-san knew people who practiced martial arts. She always seemed like a pretty quiet girl at school, so it was really amazing how she ended up hitting these two abusers before… was the most amazing he had seen so far!!

… honestly, that didn’t seem like the martial arts I’d seen so far and her movements were more like those used in movies. Those just seemed like went beyond what a normal person could do!

Therefore, I was sure that the people who had taught her that must be someone more amazing! I was really excited that such a person could teach me!! M-Maybe that could help me solve the problem I had gotten myself into… or so I hoped.

While I was thinking about all that, we arrived at what looked like a Japanese dining room where 3 people were… there I really could see that the people that Furinji-san knew were not normal! There was a huge Ojii-san that seemed to have more muscles than a professional wrestler! Besides, the next words that came out of Furinji-san’s mouth made things even more surprising!!

“Grandpa~ I’ve come back ~”

“Hohoho, welcome back… it seems that you came accompanied again…”

“Hehehe… some things happened”

“Hehehe, did you bring your boyfriend to introduce him to your grandfather, Miu-chan?”

“…”

…There were also two other men who had a more normal appearance. Also, the words of the shorter man that was wearing a hat make the surprise I had to meet Furinji-san’s grandfather turn into shame!

…Aside from being quite strong, s-she was quite a pretty girl too. So it was obvious that I would be happy if someone thought that I was her boyfriend! But then, her response practically stabbed my poor heart…

“H-He’s not my boyfriend!! I-I barely know him and we’re just classmates!! ”

“I-It’s alright Miu-chan… i-it’s probably better not to continue or the poor boy will cry…”

“E-Eh? Ah! W-Well… ”

T-That she denied it so forcefully indeed almost made tears well up in my eyes! The words “Not” and “Just” still echo in my mind…

W-Well… what she says is totally true and only until a few minutes ago was the first time we talked to each other, so seeing Furinji-san showing a bit of pity and looking for words to say to me, I speak to reassure her… Or maybe it was to prevent even more devastating words from coming out of that mouth.

“I-It’s okay, Furinji-san… you-you haven’t said anything that isn’t true.”

“…well, if you brought this boy here, then there must be a reason. Right Miu?”

“Oh, it is true! In fact…”

Trying to hold back my tears, the man with the piercing gaze and that had remained silent until now changes the subject… he-he seemed to be a good person! Probably noticing that I was uncomfortable about the situation, then he timely intervened.

So after hearing his question, Furinji-san begins to explain to the three here the things that I had discussed with her earlier… they all listen carefully and then put their eyes on me as if evaluating me.

… th-that made me very nervous, now they would decide whether or not they would teach me martial arts. Every second that passed seemed so long, but… then before they could say anything, someone else’s voice was heard from outside this room.

“Tch… that brat’s body is really quite strange… hmn? Who is this other brat? Is this place now turned into a nursery?!”

… the guy who enters the place was a man with a physique the same size as Miu’s grandfather… also, this guy was very intimidating! Just the fact that he put his eyes on me makes my whole body shudder! H-He seems to be someone dangerous… h-he has the appearance of a criminal!

“…shouldn’t you be training the little Alexander, Sakaki?”

“Tch… that’s what I was doing until a few moments ago… I decided to teach him the basic positions of Karate so that he could practice them, but then… you know what happened?!”

“… he complained and said he wanted to learn something more advanced?”

“E-Emmm … did he go with Shigure-san to her teach him instead?”

Suddenly everyone starts talking about what seemed like another person they were teaching here… I-I feel a bit ignored, but since it seemed interesting, then I decided to just continue listening.

Also, with what they said I could get more information! Apparently, this guy was a Karate Master!! I-If I could learn from him…

Well, from what I can understand, it seems like that person they were talking about was a bit troublesome… this Karate Master had come to complain about him after all. Furthermore, from the words of the hat man and Furinji-san, they certainly didn’t seem like they had a very high opinion of him…

“No… in fact, the brat was quite obedient and did everything I instructed him to do without complaint. Also, once I started talking about Karate, he stopped paying attention to Shigure… well, if it would be that you two said, then it would be better as I could maybe hit him a bit…”

“…so what is the problem?”

“Akisame, the problem is that the brat looks like a damn sponge that absorbs everything I say without problems! Do you know? When I was younger I was called a genius in Karate, but compared to that brat, I don’t would dare call myself that now!!”

“So… your complaints are because Alexander-kun hurt your pride, Sakaki? You are being a bit childish… ”

“Y-You would not think the same if you were the one who was in my position, Ma!”

“…maybe it’s because the boy is most likely not a novice in martial arts?”

“… At first I thought the same as you, Akisame.

But… when I started teaching him, he showed the same mistakes as a person who was practicing for the first time in Karate. The difference was that every time he repeated it after I pointed out his mistakes, then you could tell that it was simply because he was improving rather than because he had practiced that before.

Furthermore, he was soon able to see his own mistakes without the need for me telling him… that was frustrating! ”

A-At the end of all that discussion, it seemed that my assumption was wrong and that person appeared to be someone amazing… although… I do not know why this person named Sakaki-san complains if the person to whom teaches has talent… shouldn’t he be happy because the person he teaches is good at learning his teachings?

Well, I would be very happy if someone told me that I had talent in martial arts… even though the person who teaches me complains about it. So, I feel a little envious of that person.

“Sakaki-san, Alexander-kun paid for you to teach him, a-also quite a bit… you must teach him now no matter what!”

“Tch… I know! I am not a person who leaves things by halves once start something! I just… I just needed to come for a drink. It is also important that he condition his body, so I put him to doing push-ups… Shigure is taking care of him now ”

“E-Eh? Y-You can’t leave Shigure-san and Apachai-san alone with him! What if they hurt him?!! ”

“W-Well, he should be fine… she was just sitting on his back while doing push-ups… ”

“…”

“S-Sakaki… Alexander -kun is only about 12 or 13 years old, you know? …forcing him to do that is a bit… ”

“I just wanted to tease him a bit… I really didn’t expect that damn brat to actually do it without complaint! No, maybe it’s more surprising that he could do it!! How can he draw so much strength from those scrawny arms that seem thinner than a branch!?

Even I was surprised to see him raise up to Shigure, you know?! Besides, he seemed very motivated while doing it… so I think he should be fine… probably. ”

… I-I didn’t quite understand what was happening, but from the reaction of all the people here, it should be something surprising… more and more I was intrigued because the type of person was the boy they were talking about… in my head, the image of a monster was forming now.

It was good that I didn’t have to wait long to find out who that person was. As before, a voice is heard and soon 3 more people appear here…

“Tsundere-Ojisan! Where did you go? I’m done doing the push-ups… now what’s next? ”

“T-Tsundere- Ojisan? Who the hell are you talking about, brat?!! ”

“Pfff…”

“Oh! So you came back, Miu-chan? Welcome ba… oh, you are…”

“Don’t ignore me brat !!”

Followed by the first words that are heard, the others seem to try to avoid not laughing at that… i-in truth the owner of that voice must have a lot of guts to could say that to this enormous Karate master! I-I can barely see him in the face!!

But the person who appears was very different from the one I had imagined in my mind… it was a boy with long red hair wearing a Karate uniform… besides, next to him there also appeared a huge man as well and an extremely s.e.xy young woman too!

…Honestly, at first I thought that the person these people had been talking about until now was that tanned man, but… seeing how everyone sets their eyes on the red-haired boy, then I discover that my assumption was wrong.

Also, when that boy lays his eyes on me, he seems to be a bit surprised too…

Strange things continued to acc.u.mulate rapidly… therefore, I began to wonder if I had really come to the right place.

(POV Alexander)

I didn’t realize when Sakaki had disappeared… until just a moment ago, I was too concentrated trying to enjoy the soft and meaty butt of Shigure-san who was sitting on my back! Also, since she seemed to be wearing traditional Japanese clothing that looked like a thong, then the feeling of this one was almost totally direct on my skin!!

…I wish could have taken off the top of the uniform that Sakaki gave me so that I could practice more comfortably.

On the other hand, also had a little curious why they had a karate suit of my size here… honestly, the first thing that happened in my head is that some of these guys had eaten the previous owner of this uniform…

Well, my moment of happiness had to end since I had completed the number of push-ups that Sakaki indicated and therefore Shigure-san got off my back…

At first I was doing the push-ups slowly to lengthen the moment, but when Shigure-san had asked me if she was heavy since she probably saw how slowly I did each one of these push-ups, I had to increase the speed with which I did the push-ups while shaking my head with great force to deny that.

…In the end, I was also responsible for ending that heavenly moment faster.

The truth is that I was also a bit surprised to be able to do these push-ups without much problem… not that Shigure-san is too heavy, but surely it would have been impossible to do this with my previous body and being the same age as now.

Well, since I had finished this, I thought about asking Sakaki what was next but he was no longer in this place when I looked for him. So Shigure-san, me, and Apa who had been watching while also counting my push-ups, all of us go to look for him.

“Tsundere-Ojisan! Where did you go? And finished doing the push-ups … what’s the next? ”

“T-Tsundere- Ojisan? Who the hell are you talking about, brat? !! ”

…Oh! So he was in that direction.

Hearing Sakaki-san’s screams, we go straight to where we had been in the beginning, the dining room. So, there I meet someone who did not expect to appear so soon… was the protagonist of the anime story of this world, Kenichi.

I thought he would show up maybe a few days after I arrived… well, not that it matters much. The truth is that doesn’t affect me anything if he is here and probably the things I have to do will not change eith-

[Mission / Optional “Defeat of Ragnarok” – G ]

Join Kenichi and defeat this organization of youth from various disciplines in this world. It will also help to see the progress of your own advances in martial arts fighting others.

Objectives: Defeat all members of Ragnarok. (Teamwork)

Defeat at least two of the members yourself

Restrictions: Your level will be limited at the beginning of the 5th limit.

Interdimensional space blocking.

Use of any type of firearms, bombs, and magic objects.

Skill Lock [Emperor’s Soul], [Limit-Break], and [Survivor].

Rewards: 10 Skill Orbs [Self-defense] rank [C]

10K Crystals per member.

100K Gold per member.

…it seems that things did change a bit. Well, this was an optional mission, so I could turn it down and just focus on learning martial arts as I had thought, but… I couldn’t just ignore those Skill Orbs !!

While for me trying to get that skill doesn’t make much sense since it wasn’t a special martial art and it was only self-defense, for the girls in Gaia who aren’t good at fighting was a great treasure!

Probably because this one is still a simple skill, then was the reason for the high rank. But with this skill that seems to be rank [C], at least these girls could defend themselves a bit in case someone gets too close to them and they can’t use their weapons!

It is not that I had not thought of buying these Orbs for those girls in the system earlier, the problem was that these were too expensive even at being a skill that is technically something simple !!

So, just for the ten of those Orbs was the mission worth taking it! Even if I have to use a bit of my time learning martial arts in order to complete this one. There was only one thing that kept me from accepting this mission the instant the system notification appeared in my head…

Again I had to submit to various limitations in this world! Also, these were obviously more serious than the time I went to Emilia-kun’s world!! Well… given the cost of each of those Orbs, perhaps this is not so unfair.

… Ok System, I accept the mission!!

After thinking about it for a few seconds where I ignored Sakaki who kept yelling at me, I ended up accepting the mission. As I had said, the rewards were simply too good to pass up…

Furthermore, as the mission indicates it was true that I came to this world to learn martial arts, so it is not so bad to have some restrictions to depend more on these than other things… this way I can fully focus on learning and solving things with what I have learned.

I cannot deny that having those weapons and things at my disposal while I am in a bad situation, then I would depend on them again.

So it’s not such a bad thing… or at least that’s what I kept repeating in my head as the system seemed to start carrying out the restrictions on me…
