Chapter 12 - Return

The next morning, Tang Hao continued to train the Tang Sect's techniques until dinner. After dinner he cultivated until morning, this process lasted 3 days and was approaching the time for him to return to UA

On the day before his return, Tang Hao went out to shop with his mother at the local mall. Along with their driver Mr Otonashi, Tang Hao walked around carrying bags of clothing and other stuff all bought by his mother within 2 hours of shopping

At some point Tang Hao was tired and asked his mother "Mother, aren't you tired? You've bought quite a lot, Mr Otonashi and I can barely hold anymore."

"Tired? Now that you've mentioned it I do feel a bit tired, let's have lunch and then put everything into the car before continuing" Su Xue replied

Hearing that they would continue the shopping, Tang Hao and Mr Otonashi looked at each other in the eyes and smiled wryly

At a lingerie shop, Tang Hao and Mr Otonashi waited outside the store whilst Su Xue tried on some lingerie.

After 20 minutes or so, seeing that his mother wasn't done, Tang Hao walked around the mall to relieve his boredom. He went from the sport store sections to the food courts then finally made a round back

On the way back to the lingerie shop, Tang Hao saw a familiar figure. A slender figure with long silver hair could be seen along the crowd on the floor below. Tang Hao thought he saw wrong and ran down to confirm

"That figure, could it be?" he thought

As he ran down the escalator and pushed through the crowd, the figure was slowly disappearing. Just before it was gone, the figure turned around and glanced at Tang Hao before quickly disappearing

As he stood frozen on the spot amidst the crowd, Tang Hao thought "Is it her? If it wasn't she wouldn't have turned around right? But it could just be a coincidence."

He then turned around and went back up to escalator to and waited in front of the lingerie store. Upon his arrival, Mr Otonashi asked him "Young Master, what happen?"

Tang Hao who was lost in thought didn't reply until he was called a second time. he responded "Oh, sorry I was thinking about something."

After a while, Su Xue came out the lingerie shop carrying a couple bags on each arm. Seeing Tang Hao who is still dazed she asked him "Hao er, are you ok? What are you thinking about?"

Seeing that his mother is done he replied "Ah, it's nothing mother, I'm just thinking about training."

"Oh alright, is there anything you want to buy? We can make a quick stop before heading home." Su Xue asked

"No it's alright, let's go home." Tang Hao replied

Upon their arrival at home, Mr Otonashi parked the car in the garage. Along with Tang Hao, he carried the things Su Xue bought from the mall inside the house.

"Thank you, Mr Otonashi" Su Xue said

"No problems, madam, it's part of my job" he replied then left the house

Tang Hao then told his mother that he would go outside and start training. In the backyard Tang Hao bought out some things to practice his quirk on since he has been using the Tang Sect's arts and cultivating during his rest

After a while Tang Hao thought to himself "Well now that I'm quite proficient in the Tang Sect Arts it's time to practice infusing my quirk and qi around the needles."

In his the basement of his father's study, Tang Hao stood 100 meters away from a target and started combining his quirk on the bone piercing needle

Bzz! Bzz! By making tiny streams of lightning curl around his fingertips, Tang Hao then slowly moved the lighting onto the needles whilst trying not to destroy the darts

After a few seconds, Tang Hao succeeded and then threw the needles at the target. Bang! The sound of a minor explosion could be heard. The wall behind the targets were almost penetrated and left huge spider web like cracks on it

"Ops, looks like it's a bit too effective." Tang Hao thought

"I'll have to explain this father and get it repaired" he continued

After changing into new targets, Tang Hao then tried to use qi on the bone piercing needle. "Hmm it seems like using qi is much easier, I can't wait to be able to fly on a sword." he thought

He then threw the needles at the new targets which created another small explosion to resound throughout. Boom! The walls behind the targets that was previously cracked turned into huge holes. "Oh sh*t! I was so caught up in the moment I forgot to change sides, I'm in deep sh*t when father gets home." Tang Hao thought

Su Xue who was up stairs at the time heard explosions a second time causing her to run into the basement to look for her son. "HAO ER! Are you ok?!" she screamed

"Haha mother I'm fine, it's just the walls umm... I was trying to reinforce my bone piercing needles with my quirk and qi and uh this was the result." He replied as he pointed towards the huge holes on the wall

"Oh, as long as your ok son. It's fine your father won't be angry, instead he'll be happy that his son's getting stronger." Su Xue said whilst staring at the wall

"Well I hope so.. haha... well father should be home soon and we can have dinner, then I'll cultivate and get ready to return to school, I've missed out on quite a bit." Tang Hao said as he put the needles away
