Sora calmed himself down and knew that he first needed to complete Taichi Sutra first before being able to cultivate his Nirvanic Taichi Sutra.
However, he couldn't advance at all until he gained back his cultivation. Only until he gains back his cultivation could he continue.
"All I can do now is just wait," sighed Sora as he left the hospital.
The human being he was creating will take two weeks to become a being and slowly grow into an adult.
Sora returned home and went about his days normally… or so it seemed.
He quietly sent out his paintings into the shadows to track down the people that were threatening him with Chitoge. If they had the guts to threaten him with Chitoge, then they had the confidence to threaten him with the other people around him.
Over the next few days, Sora spent most of his time getting closer to Chitoge to better take care of her. He came to know more people through here, especially some other cute and beautiful girls.
Slowly, Sora planned out things and found the people that threatened him.
Sora was calm the entire time, he felt no rush nor no danger. Dealing with a group like this was as easy as flipping his hand.
He only took the longer steps to keep the ants from escaping his grasp.
Like usual, Sora accompanied Chitoge back to her place before leaving. However, on his way out, he was stopped by a young girl in slim samurai armor without it;s usual 'skirt'.
"You have been preventing us from taking action against that girl, however it will all end now. The Yami Group believes that I can't deal with you alone. But after tailing you these past few days, I am able to safely say that you're just a balloon filled with hot air," said the girl as she slowly walked to Sora, drawing her katana.
Looking at the girl with an amused smile, Sora gazed at the woman with a smile, "To think the one tailing me was such a beautiful girl..."
"Keep your words to yourself, you will soon fall prey to my sword," said the girl as she jumped at Sora.
Sora maintained a small smile as he stood there waiting for the sword to fall on him,
The girl looked at what was happening with a frown before speeding up her sword. She looked at Sora with pity, knowing that the man couldn't even react as he will die without knowing how.
Cling!
A snapping noise rang in the surroundings as the samurai girl felt her sword become very light. When she raised her head and looked at Sora, her eyes widened in surprise seeing a broken blade in between his index and middle finger.
"This is a very poor quality sword," voiced Sora as he twirled the snapped blade in his hand. "It broke as soon as I touched it."
Pointing the blade at the girl, Sora revealed a smile before saying, "I can make you a better sword than this."
"..." the girl looked at Sora with shock. She took a step back involuntarily from the shock she received from Sora breaking her sword easily.
"Is that a no?" asked Sora as he slowly took some steps forward. His hand slid forward and the girl could only watch as the hand approached her. She was frozen in place from Sora's might and the unconscious pressure she felt from Sora.
Pat…
Sora placed his hand on the girl's head and said, "Come with me, I will give you a place to stay until I have the time to make you a better sword."
Surprised by Sora's actions, the girl broke out of the shock as she slashed once again at Sora with her broken sword.
Shling!
Compared to last time, there was nor breaking sound when the girl's sword was swung, instead a cutting sound entered the girl's ears. The katana in her hand only became light as Sora cut off more of the blade with the broken blade in his hand.
Silently picking up the sliced blade, Sora put it away in his sleeves before putting the other broken blade in his clothes.
"C'mon kid, I'll take care of you. So stop looking so lifeless," said Sora as he walked over to the samurai girl and removed her helmet, revealing a beautiful face, sharp eyes, and short hair.
Walking forward, Sora glanced at the girl with his Ki before humming happily as the girl followed behind him with a lost look.
"Izayoi… my name is Izayoi," quietly said the girl as she sheathed what remained of her katana back into it's scabbard.
"That's a good name," said Sora as he continued humming.
As they were walking away, Izayoi failed to see Sora's hand twitch. Even if Izayoi had witnessed Sora's hand twitching she would have just thought of it as the body's involuntary action.
However, unbeknownst to her, the blade Sora had hidden in his sleeve had disappeared in an instant along with the short twitch of his hand.
…
A very tall man with a slim frame yet sports a well-defined and muscular build. He is light-skinned with long-straight black hair that frames both sides of his face with some bangs hanging over his face. He also sports a small and scruffy mustache. His most noticeable trait is his long and pointy ears.
"Hmph… looks like this damn girl couldn't deal with such a simple man," said the man as he stood up ready to leave. "After coaxing her to attack Kamiyama Sora, it ended in failure, in return I gained some knowledge on the opp-"
Before the man could finish talking, blood dripped from his forehead.
The cut on the man's forehead burst with more blood as the man turned pale and he fell to the ground dead.
The sliced blade that disappeared from Sora's sleeve had driven itself through the man's forehead at extreme speeds. It was still flying forwards as it flew into the air with no speck of blood on the blade. A thin amount of sharp Blade Qi covered the sword as it traversed through the sky cutting through anything in it's path.
It didn't stop flying high into the air until after 10 minutes. The Blade Qi disappeared leaving behind only an intent and Sora's Will that slowly ate at the blade. Before the sliced blade could fall down onto the ground, it had disappeared from the world.
Sora's Will had a hint of Blade essence within it as it ate up the Blade Qi, intent, and then the sword at a rapid pace. Eventually, the will disappeared after being retrieved by Sora who was calmly walking with an armored girl behind him.
That Will that ate up the Qi, intent, and blade, was something Sora had understood through performing techniques with his will.
If Sora performed an eating technique with his Will, the Will would incorporate that technique and eat anything in it's path.
Since the Will could contain a martials' wisdom, essence, and understanding, Sora decided to input his technique within it. Instead of getting a Will that will contain his understanding and the Technique in it, Sora got a Will that became the technique and incorporated it's intent within it.
It was then that Sora understood the limitless applications for intents. Besides being able to continue caring for intents and then make them become a law and then a Dao one day, Sora could bring out their destructive power early on with his Will.
Usually the intents could have their power used through 'Elements' and cultivations with 'attributes'. However, Sora was able to make his Will embody an intent and make it powerful.
The techniques and cultivations would only bring out a small amount of power of the Intents, but the Will brought it out more early on.
Indeed, the Will that is widely known as Spiritual Will, Divine Will, Heavenly Will, etc. would indeed be something powerful.
It was then that Sora decided to temper his will to make it become stronger and make his attacks become more fearsome!
…
"Eat up!" said Sora as he raised his glass to all the women sitting down with him in the dining room.
Saki, Rinko, Kyouka, Koharu, Yuika, and even Hiratsuka were there. Joining them from that day forward was the new member into the 'family' was Izayoi, the kitten he picked up off the streets, or so he told everyone at the table.
Of course, Hiratsuka looked at Sora with a knowing look since she's one of the people with a foot within the martial world. Although she may not have known about Izayoi, she can tell with just a glance that she has trained in martial arts.
Although her eyes of discernment isn't as good enough to tell exactly what she trains in, being able to tell Izayoi is a martial artist is already a great accomplishment for Hiratsuka. Especially when Hiratsuka hasn't delved in too deeply into the world of martial artists.
"From now on, Izayoi will be staying here with use until she steps on a better path. After dragging her out from that dark path, she shall now cast aside her past and become a better person," said Sora as he lifted his glass of water in the air before downing it in one gulp.
The story he had told everyone about Izayoi was one of a petty thief who stole whatever she could from other bad people. Although it was a rather 'nice' thing to do, she spent that money on herself to live.
And Sora who appeared, saved her by telling her that by doing such a thing is the same as rubbing those common people. She would be no different from such bad guys.
So to keep her away from such dark things, Sora had grabbed onto her hand and pulled her over to the light.
The only people that felt such a story was fishy, was of course Hiratsuka and Rinko.
Hiratsuka obviously knew Sora's words were a lie since she already guessed that Izayoi was a martial artist. Anything part of the story made no sense to Hiratsuka, how could a martial artist resort to robbing?
Surprisingly, Rinko just had amazing instincts that allowed her to notice that Izayoi wasn't a robber. It wasn't because of Sora's story, in fact, she was almost convinced. However, if it wasn't for Izayoi's manners and gestures, she would have believed the story as well.
"I hope you all can bring her warmly into the family and take care of her until I sort some things out," said Sora as he set down his cup and let everyone begin eating.
Once they were done eating, Yuika, Saki, and Koharu all got up and picked up everyone's dirty dishes. They washed the dishes and cleaned the table, leaving the adults and Sora alone.
After they left, Sora looked over at Rinko and Hiratsuka.
"Think it over, you both are welcomed to live in this house with us," Sora gestured to Kyouka and Izayoi as he looked at Hiratsuka and Rinko with a calm face.
Rinko sighed and looked at Sora helplessly, "I can't come over yet. I live pretty far away, so I need to deal with some stuff. Give me two months and I'll move here into your house."
"You can just ask for my help though," said Sora with a grin.
"This isn't the type of stuff someone like you can help me," said Rinko with a warm smile.
Sora chuckled, "You know the extent of my abilities by now. In fact, you probably still don't know even half of them… I can help you with just the snap of my fingers."
"..." Rinko looked at Sora quietly before laughing. "Anyways, let me do this by myself. Or else how could I keep my head up proudly if I can't do something so simple myself."
Hearing Rinko's words, Sora's eyes dilated as he understood something from her words. He frowned for a slight second before smiling warmly at Rinko, "Fine then, I will wait for you to finish your business. I will welcome you with open arms into this household."
"I'll hold you up to it," said Rinko as she stood up from the table and left.
"Now, about you Hiratsuka. There's not much excuses for you," joked Sora as he looked over at Hiratsuka who was looking at him with a glare.
She humphed and turned her head, "Obviously I don't have much to do. I can't even ask for help from you even if I needed it.
If you were 17 or even 18, I would have been able to perfectly ask for your help."
"Is it your parents again? Just tell them that you already found someone suitable and that he's focusing on his studies for now before going through something serious like marriage. Or what? Want me to knock you up or something," laughed Sora as he looked at Hiratsuka's red and tempted face.
It wasn't a secret anymore that Sora had done it at least once with every lady that stepped into Sora's house. Of course, Rinko and the newbie Izayoi are an exception. Rinko because she wants to wait and doesn't feel 'ready', and Izayoi because he had just met her earlier in the day.
Hiratsuka kept quiet, she stood up and walked over to the door before turning to look at Sora. "I will move into your house in a week."
"Great! I will wait for you then."
