As Shen Bai opened his bento box, he said, "Let's eat lunch first. I'll talk while I eat."
And so, today's meal turned into a storytelling session.
When they had almost finished eating, the story was also nearing its end.
Kasumigaoka Utaha, being a light novel author, had a high degree of acceptance for the coherence of a storyline.
But for something that even novels wouldn't dare to write about to happen to her, she was still a bit bewildered.
It was truly unbelievable; one could get stronger just by doing it.
And that sphere from just now, it could contain people and provide healing.
"Crazy, truly crazy."
Kasumigaoka Utaha looked at her hands, carefully feeling the changes in her body.
Then she realized that everything Shen Bai said was true.
Her physical fitness, strength, and speed had all noticeably improved.
Shen Bai didn't disturb her; as a novelist, it would be strange if she couldn't accept such things in this world full of Monsters, demons, and Cursed Spirits.
And the result was as Shen Bai expected; after a brief period of mental adjustment, Kasumigaoka Utaha fully accepted the current situation.
"So, does that mean you two are going to fight the Gang tonight?"
Although she already knew that Shen Bai and Saeko Busujima were extraordinary, Kasumigaoka Utaha, having lived in a stable environment with very few encounters with violence, was still a little worried.
"Don't worry, we will definitely achieve victory."
"If you don't believe me, Saeko! Show them the results of your training."
Shen Bai stood up and threw the intact wooden sword to Saeko Busujima.
The two quickly distanced themselves.
"The maximum speed for an ordinary person is 10 meters per second, and it must be in a straight line."
"But Saeko, after her training, her maximum speed should be around 20 meters per second, and during this process, she can also control her direction for slashes."
Shen Bai's voice entered Kasumigaoka Utaha's ears, startling her.
Twenty meters per second, that's over seventy yards.
Can two legs catch up to a car?
Such power would have a place even within the Hero Association.
What about Shen Bai?
To what extent had his strength reached?
One question after another gradually emerged.
But now, Kasumigaoka Utaha only had one thing to do; she took a deep breath: "Start!"
The moment Kasumigaoka Utaha spoke, Saeko Busujima had already charged towards Shen Bai.
Her speed was so fast that Kasumigaoka Utaha's eyes could barely keep up.
She could only just manage to follow her figure as she moved and dodged.
Da da da da... The clashing of wooden swords was like raindrops falling to the ground, continuous and unending.
In less than a minute, Saeko Busujima had already adapted to her new strength in combat.
Her speed and strength increased again, combined with her latest insights into Kendo.
The light drizzle gradually turned into a heavy downpour.
Each collision of the wooden swords caused them to vibrate violently, emitting a deeper sound.
Crack!
Amidst a flurry of attacks.
Shen Bai's already cracked wooden sword shattered with a boom.
But the next moment, he casually used two fingers to hold Saeko Busujima's wooden sword, clamping it effortlessly, and no matter how much force Saeko Busujima applied, the wooden sword remained motionless.
"Alright, if we keep fighting, there won't be time to rest."
Lunch break was not unlimited.
And these few minutes of Saeko Busujima's full exertion had already left her slightly breathless.
"Amazing!"
"So amazing!"
Kasumigaoka Utaha clapped her hands, though she still didn't know how powerful Shen Bai truly was.
But Saeko Busujima's skill alone was enough to take on ten men, sending those ruffians scrambling.
Saeko Busujima's uncle, seeing how formidable the two were, surely wouldn't dare to covet the dojo anymore.
However, according to Shen Bai, Saeko Busujima wanted to solve the problem once and for all by dealing with her uncle and eradicating the Gang as well.
She also expressed agreement with this.
The harm caused by Monsters, demons, and Cursed Spirits was already enough.
Yet these Gangs, instead of dealing with the likes of Monsters, actually harmed their own people.
Sometimes, what they did was even worse than what those Monsters did.
Even if Shen Bai and Saeko Busujima completely eradicated the Gang, Kasumigaoka Utaha would not feel any qualms; on the contrary, she would applaud them.
If she had enough ability, she would even want to join in.
"Hahaha, not worried anymore, are you!"
"Not worried anymore."
"By the way, Saeko, you can visualize that finger technique I used just now; it will be greatly beneficial to you."
Saeko Busujima caught her breath: "Okay, Bai."
"Alright, alright, afternoon class is about to start, let's go, let's go."
Checking the time on his phone, with only five minutes left before class, Shen Bai put away his bento box and was the first to go down the stairs.
Before long, Shen Bai and Saeko Busujima entered the classroom, one after the other.
"Wow~! Shen Bai-tongxue, when did you and Saeko-tōgaku become so close, returning together?"
As soon as Shen Bai sat down, Kitagawa Marin leaned over.

Chapter 019: Wanting to Become Lord Shadow [Requesting Data]
She didn't dare to approach Saeko Busujima.
Because Saeko Busujima always gave her a sense of authority, just like Teacher Mafuyu.
To describe it in more detail, the feeling was like meeting a strict elder with whom one didn't have a good relationship.
Reserved and uncomfortable.
Shen Bai looked up and said with a smile, "Although Saeko-tōgaku seems a bit strong-willed, she's actually very easy to get along with."
Saeko Busujima turned her head and glanced at Kitagawa Marin: "I practice Kendo, and I don't talk much normally."
"Ah! I know, Saeko-tōgaku, I was just joking earlier."
Kitagawa Marin laughed awkwardly twice, her perception of Saeko Busujima still largely unchanged.
First impressions have a big impact on people, and currently, around her seat, Kitagawa Marin felt that Shen Bai was the easiest to communicate with.
Moreover, there was a secret between the two that couldn't be told to outsiders, and this kind of relationship clearly brought them closer.
"I know, Marin-tongxue, class is about to start, go back and sit down."
As soon as he finished speaking, the class bell echoed throughout the entire school.
"Oh, oh!"
Kitagawa Marin responded and quickly returned to her seat.
"Class start!"
"Stand up."
"Hello, class."
"Hello, Teacher!"
Kitagawa Marin took out her book and secretly glanced at Shen Bai.
