Cai Kang was looking around, realizing he is in front of the Furukawa pharmacy. It was dark out with barely any light. He has no trouble seeing in the dark yet he has a foreboding feeling as he heard something in the distance; the sound of crying. He slowly head towards there to see Kazuha, on her knees and in tears. Her hair appears to be a bit longer in length. She is in the arms of another boy he doesn't recognize who attempts to comfort her and hum a song which got her to stop for a bit and take it in. The boy has his hair in a short ponytail and has dark eyes. He seems to be intimate with her as she didn't push him away. He appears to have the same pained expression. Cai Kang can't even feel jealous right now. Whatever they are going through, it must especially hurt if she cries like this. He has seen her cry before not appearing this vulnerable.Then the two looked up to see Cai Kang. Their faces grimaced upon seeing him. Taken aback, he then looked around to see a mysterious fi
He watched from a distance as the cannons behind him fire. Everyone who can fly join him in the skies while those stuck on the ground and water remain there.Cai Kang feels like he's on fire. He is feeling the most out of this. The thrill, the excitement, the need to cry for blood, it's exhilarating. He told everyone to stand back. He volunteered on this part of the island because it is their weakest point. Looking forward, there are too many demons for him to see if Lufen is there. As much as he enjoys a good massacre, he would rather get it over with and join the others. This is the perfect opportunity try something first. He stared at Kazuha who is feeling the water below her. She is powerful but no one else has sensory abilities like her so she is delegated to staying behind and not on the front lines. That's good. Now that she's here, it looks like he is going to try that move now. He flew up in the air and with a deep breath, he says softly to the approaching invaders,"die"The
Cai Kang is currently practicing martial arts on a cliff, overlooking the valley with only the full moon serving as her source of light. By the cliff was a large river, wide enough to go on a nice boating trip.She is a young girl at around seventeen, wearing martial arts clothes native to the Qing dynasty. Her braid sways along to her swift and sudden movements. In the distance, it looks like a graceful dance in the moonlight. But it was a warm-up before she could begin training. In the darkness, a man suddenly ambushed her from the bushes. She dodged his first attack sheepishly like she had expected him and fought him off for a while until she lost her balance and fell off the cliff. The girl quickly did a flip and landed on top of the water with the soles of her feet without getting a drop on her. She looks up the cliff with a glare while the man looks down on her, unimpressed."I win." The man chuckled arrogantly. He is a middle aged man with chiseled features, a freshly shaved goa
The Shiratori family are in the common room waiting in anticipation. It is the day when Cai Kang is supposed to arrive. They heard the story of their father's friend from China; Changming, who will bring his son to Japan and one of the girls will end up as his fiancee. The truth is that while the entire clan has been aware of it, that doesn't mean they are entirely happy about it. There are plenty of suitors of desirable and more powerful families who would suit their daughters as marriage partners. But it has come to a standstill.A young girl at the table was visibly excited. She is wearing a formal turquoise kimono with temari designs on the skirt. She has her chestnut-colored hair tied into a bun and decorated with a temari hairpin to hold it up. She has a silver swan crest on the back of her kimono, depicting their family crest."Did you seriously have to overdress yourself like this?" The boy next to her irritably said, He is wearing casual clothes and has the same chestnut color
Cai Kang woke up the next morning feeling admittedly almost too relaxed to the point that he began overthinking it. The old man left as soon as Cai Kang got to his room. He didn't even bother to say goodbye. The last thing he got was a communication locket which works as a two-way call with its other in the possession of his father.Cheap bastard. Couldn't even afford to buy me an actual phone. He irritably thought before looking at his surroundings.It is a simple Japanese room with tatami mats, a circular window, a closet where he can place his things, a clock, and a table with a vase filled with flowers. It is simple but the room itself is quite spacious. He looked at the clock seeing that it was still morning.After being away from home and his school, he has a real roof over his head and comfort he has been deprived of for weeks. Even though his father is not cruel, he is relentless and chooses to be difficult."Breakfast is ready." He heard Saeko shout.Cai Kang heads to the brea
Cai Kang was confused at her statement.What does she mean that she's not hard of hearing? She's wearing hearing aids. He thought."Um, Saeko?"Saeko stopped what she was doing and looked at Cai Kang."Why is Kazuha wearing hearing aids? Is she hard of hearing?"Saeko shook her head lightly. "I'm afraid not, Cai Kang. Quite the contrary, Kazuha has quite sharp hearing. The hearing aids are to protect her ears from sensory overload."It took a moment for him to process. "Is it her potential?"Saeko smiled softly and nodded surprising Cai Kang."Wait, really?! She has an unlocked potential?!" He banged his hands on the table, almost shouting."The barrier around the residence is to cancel out her ability so that she wouldn't have to wear those hearing aids at home."Cai Kang is surprised, almost to the point of excitement. In Qiyuan, it is known as a meta-ability but in Shenmi, it is formally called a hidden potential. A power unique only to the individual and not by blood and it keeps e
Cai Kang had woken up to a knock on the door and saw it is Saeko."It is time to wake up now. You should get ready for school." She said in a singy songy tone and left the area.Cai Kang yawned and looked to see she had left the school uniform and school supplies at his doorstep. After washing up, and trying on the uniform, he struggled with the tie before giving up. The necktie struggle is apparent to the others as he comes down for breakfast. Saeko notices it and helps tie it for him."Thanks" he said.He then notices hostility in the air. Kazuha is looking at Noriko and Toya with a deep stare. He could tell she was unhappy with them. Even her eyes are glowing. The twins were silent, which is unusual for them. Cai Kang could tell that they are scared."Did something happen between you guys?" He asked, hoping to break the tension."Thank you for the meal." Noriko said frantically out of her seat. "Let's go, Toya."Toya quickly left the seat, grabbed his bag, and ran to the door with h
The next day, Cai Kang and Kazuha ran to school seeing a hoard of boys but they were not preparing for an attack this time.“What is going on? Aren’t you gonna try to attack me again?” Kazuha said with confusion.“Shiratori Kazuha, we shall no longer challenge you. We all discussed this and we decided to recognize your engagement to Cai-san.” One of them said,They were bewildered. “What’s going on? Why have you-” Then they saw Karasuma. He looks terrible. He is covered in bandages all over his body. The wounds do not even seem superficial. Most of them do not even look like the injuries that Cai Kang inflicted on him. Cai Kang can deduce that he is attempting to train but hurt himself in the process.“You all heard the false rumor that Cai Kang has defeated me but I will not admit defeat.” He declared despite being obviously in pain.Is he still trying to act all mighty and cool after that beating? His ego’s unbeatable. Cai Kang thought. Even in this state, he is a sore loser. Kazu
