All of Cai Kang's nicknames and insults towards Kurai always has the word snow in it.
Cai Kang wore a long-sleeve shirt to cover the armlet. He admits that it's working as he's not feeling nervous at all. Toya is not bluffing after all. Maiko was a bit late so he grabbed a treat for himself and for Maiko when he sees her. Using a spell, he keeps the cold treat cold so it wouldn't melt. If he gets stood up in the end, he'll eat hers. "Sorry, I'm late." Cai Kang stares at Maiko and can feel a slight blush appear but still doesn't feel as nervous. Maiko was mildly surprised to see Cai Kang waiting outside with ice cream. “I don’t know what your favorite flavor is so I just picked one.”Maiko grabbed the chocolate cone and licked it. It’s still cold.“How did you-?”“I used a constant temperature charm where the temperature of the ice cream remains the same as long as I am touching it.”She chuckled softly much to his surprise. “You're so sweet. I thought you used your chi but then you would've been a girl. Let's go.” She said both were walking together.“Where are we g
It has been over a few weeks since Akihabara and there were a few things to keep in mind. The technique that Kazuha used against Kurai was fascinating to him so she is trying to teach it to him however, to do so, he has to learn how to get rid of some old habits first before actually learning the technique."No, you got it all wrong!" Kazuha snapped and stopped Cai Kang before he could finish his stance."What? I followed your directions." He said increduously.She walks up to him and corrects his posture. "Your breathing is fine but you didn't actually erase your presence. You have to relax your mind first then your body, not the other way around. People will still notice and it will throw off your attempt at stealth.""Now that you think about it, why that order?" Cai Kang questions her."You closed yourself too much and deliberating not leave any openings to throw off your opponent on instinct. This technique is to fight without thinking but also win without fighting nor thinking. T
Warning: Contains signs of Animal cruelty. ...During lunch, Nu-ying made her appearance again by breaking the wall.“You know you’re gonna have to pay for that right?” Kurai says but she ignored him and went to the table with a human-sized dish.“Nu-ying brought lunch for everyone.” She said and opened the lid. That brought a lot of shock and distress on everyone’s faces. It was so gruesome that some people even started to fall back at the sight. It made some of the girls cry. Even Kurai is mildly surprised. Fukuna's eyes widened and froze on the spot as Nuying laughs it off. Without thinking, she slapped Nuying HARD much to the surprise of many as she flew through the same wall she broke into and into another."Apologize." she silently threatens as Nuying crawled out of the hole wiping the dirt from her clothes with an indifferent expression.Nuying looks around then glares at Fukuna."You're cruel, selfish, and barbaric. You take lives for granted like puppets that you control, d
That fiasco was erased completely using a powerful spell from Ryosuke and Fukuna. Both used so much of their chi in addition to maintaining the barrier that they were out of commission for the rest of the day in the school infirmary.After school, Kurai is carrying Ryosuke on his back and Cai Kang is carrying Fukuna on his, as they head to their apartment waiting for everyone in the school to leave. But Toya and Noriko appeared in their path, surprising both. "So, are you not gonna report us?" Cai Kang asks the twins skeptically.Noriko shook her head, "No, you fixed this without any other problems and Kazu-nee is safe." she reassures them."Besides, I don't think it'll do any good. But you should probably wrap things up with her before she starts waving that fiery hair of hers again." Toya says before changing his tone.“Challenge accepted, you shits!” Kurai sneered. “Oh, by the way, this is for you.” Toya says before placing a piece of paper in Cai Kang’s hands.Cai Kang looked at
There are no sudden interruptions or even jumpscares for a week but there are a few changes. Kurai has been acting strange since his treatment and has been keeping his mouth shut, refusing to talk about it. In addition, he has been hanging out with Nuying more often, mainly for medical reasons. Cai Kang respects his privacy and decides to focus on something else. He seems busy with just one issue; summer vacation. He and Kurai have been studying their asses off with Kazuha helping them with certain subjects they couldn’t understand. She also made some sort of deal with the teachers to persuade them to not get summer homework as long as they can pass their midterms.As for Nuying and Wencheng, they moved into a house and even opened an antique store, with items from Nuying’s own personal collection as well as her creations. Nuying also gives her services in other ways. As a healer, she helps out at the Furukawa clinic for certain appointments and opens her services secretly in Qiyuan to
Kurai was still on the porch overlooking the pond when he noticed Kazuha approaching him.“I saw you in my memories, the ones you erased.” He says all of a sudden and Kazuha stop to sit next to him. He looks at her suspiciously. “What did you do to me?”“I healed you but your injuries are so severe that we had to send you to the hospital.”“Where’s the pearl?” He demanded.Kazuha’s eyes are glowing dimly. “Why? So you can hurt us again?”He isn’t falting. “Last chance.” He threatens and gets close enough to her to the point of staring only into their eyes. “Where is it?”“Not telling. Giving you that pearl will kill you again.” She said, not intimidated at all.He paused for a moment. “I will find a cure whether or not you answer that question.”“Fat chance. If I give it to you, things will get far worse for you. I will focus on researching the pearl. You just focus on yourself for the time-being.”He was surprised to hear that from her. “Do you like me or something?” He asks curiously
Cai Kang left for a moment to buy some food along with Ryosuke when suddenly, Cai Kang looked at the entrance of a manga store leaving Ryosuke confused.“Do you like manga?”Cai Kang has a cheerful expression on his face. “Are you kidding? I love it. Kinda my window to the outside world growing up.” He said then shoos his brother away. “Go without me. The next volume of the Purple Dawn manga finally came out and it even has a handwritten signature from Hoshino Nozomi herself. I have to read it.”“I can’t believe that you’re my brother.” Ryosuke said and sighs. “Fine but you better be done by the time I come back.” Ryosuke then left while Cai Kang went inside to read.He is a complete nerd when it comes to this kind of stuff. Purple Dawn is his favorite because it has an interesting plot, romance and development. It’s not popular but it is quite an amusing read. Due to his short attention span, he finds the pictures satisfying enough to understand the story. He was taught to not like th
Back in the Forest of Fear, Everyone is sitting around the phone, expecting the call. Kazuha told them that she has found where Hoshino Nozomi lives, after some effort, and is going to meet her right now. "Isn't it weird?" said Xianliang. "About what?" replied Fukuna. "How did Cai Kang's favorite author managed to actually drop this hint exactly the way it did." There was a ring from the phone. This is what they are waiting for. All of them were called to listen to the phone call. “Hey guys, I found Hoshino Nozomi. She’s here with me.” Kazuha said on the other side. “Hello everyone, you know me as Hoshino Nozomi but my real name is Zhuyun.” She said cheerfully. They could all tell she is middle-aged. “You’re chinese?” Xianliang said surprisingly. “A xian?” “You can put it that way. I’ve lived in Japan since the Taisho period.” She said. “What?” the group was silent. “How old are you?” Cai Kang said. “I cannot say but I remember that I am older than a hundred.” She s
