Chapter 9 will never forget
"Nine thousand 997 ... nine thousand 998 ... nine thousand 999 ..."
In an abandoned temple, Tenraku is sweating in the yard practising swordsmanship chopping. Not far away, Himimema Akeno was preparing food for the two, while a few little demon were flying around in the air to fight Akeno.
High School DxD is a fantasy world of a higher plane, with a variety of legendary races, and a variety of magical powers.
Devil uses Demonic Power to gather wind, rain, thunder, lightning, and Angel uses Power of Light to purify all filthy evil. There is even a breast energy that only original work protagonist Hyoudou Issei can use. In short, it is various, not One foot.
As a hybrid of Devil and Human, Tenraku is able to practice both the Demonic Power and Spirit Qi.
Demonic Power comes from the spirit and imagination. The stronger the spirit, the easier it is for Devil to obtain the demonic power, and the spirit is the manifestation of the soul. Perhaps because the soul does not belong to this-world, Tenraku no magic talent, and the Demonic Power that can be gathered are very poor, so he gave up the training of Demonic Power long ago, and chose Spirit Qi instead.
Spirit Qi, also known as Spirit Power, inner Qi, and Chakra, is an ancient and fundamental force flowing through life and Between Heaven and Earth. If Demonic Power comes from the spirit, then Spirit Qi comes more from the entire body, a mysterious and unknown power hidden in all animals, plants and human bodies.
Since mother died, Tenraku has been training for almost 5 years, but Spirit Qi gathered within the body is only barely satisfactory.
This is not to say that Tenraku has no talent in training Spirit Qi. On the contrary, his talent in this area is not bad. It's just that Spirit Qi is different from Demonic Power. As long as Demonic Power has a strong spirit, it can quickly accumulate, but Spirit Qi can only dig from the body step by step and draw from Between Heaven and Earth.
It may be a bit slow at the beginning, not as good as Demonic Power users, but this speed will gradually increase as Spirit Qi increases and users become stronger, and it will not be worse than Demonic Power users when they really grow , Can even use some special abilities ...

"Tenraku, have dinner."
Akeno didn't know when he came to Tenraku, and looked at Tenraku with a smile.
Almost half a year has passed since the two met. Compared with the original young girl's physical development, her face is not as blank and empty, but there are more young people who should belong to this age. girl smile.
"Okay, wait for me."
Stopped practicing and Tenraku replied.
Put the long sword in place and wipe the forehead. Tenraku mobilized a trace of Spirit Qi to evaporate the sweat from the body, eliminating the trouble of rinsing.
"Itadakimasu!"
Looking at a table full of cooking, Tenraku and Akeno pats palms, a few little demon cheered and enjoyed.
"Akeno, your cooking skills have improved again."
Tenraku praised the young girl's cooking.
"Of course, this is an autobiography of Okaa-sama, and as a girl, I don't want to lose to Tenraku in these areas."
With a little pride, the young girl's eyes that looked towards Tenraku were faintly shining.
Although Tenraku is also very good at cooking, since the two have been together, these things have been done by Akeno.
Watching Tenraku taste his own cooking and show a happy expression, the young girl's heart is also happy.
Once she wandered alone, was hungry because she had no food, and was hunted down because she was found Fallen Angel's Bloodline. Although it was painful, she could endure it. The only thing that made her afraid was the loneliness, as if Abandoned by the entire World, woke up in the middle of the night countless times.
But since Tenraku's appearance, a glimmer of light finally shines in her dark and hopeless World.
The two wandered together, explored together, and battled Evil Spirit and Youkai together. Obviously was no different from the previous life, but full, warm and reassuring, as if the entire World had become different ...
Looking at the involuntary smile on young girl's face, Tenraku said:
"Akeno, have you changed?"
came back to his senses, Akeno's face is lightly red, but the smile is even more attractive, which makes people warm from the heart:
"Because, I met Tenraku ..."
...
At night, Tenraku and Akeno lie in a makeshift nest, nestling tightly together.
After traveling together, the two fell asleep at first, but one night Akeno got into Tenraku's arms with a red face, and the two kept tacit understanding.
"The scar has long since disappeared, so don't worry about it."
Leaning on the place where the young girl in her arms caressed Tenraku's neck, Tenraku could not help but said helplessly.
"In my heart, it always exists. It is proof that Tenraku saved me. Proof that I met Tenraku."
The gentleness of action, Akeno said obsessively.
Although young girl's eyes were gentle and sincere, Tenraku smiled bitterly under her heart.
I saved her well, but it was not the legendary knight in shining armor that dropped from the sky, and then waved Holy Sword slaughter all sides in my hand, protecting the beautiful Princess from the enemy, but holding the sword on her own Above his neck, blocking the enemy 's pace in such a stupid way to the extreme ...
"Now, Tenraku, should we stay here in the future? Aunt Haruno in the town said that we could take us in. If we don't want to live in her house, she can also ask an adult in the village to help us build a house. . "
What seemed to come to mind, Akeno suddenly suggested that the already charming face was slightly reddish.
For a moment, Tenraku shook the head:
"Sorry, Akeno, I'm too weak now, and I can't stop moving forward."
"Why is Tenraku so attached to power? Obviously Tenraku has been very difficult to deal with, obviously ..."
Rejected by Tenraku, the young girl's face suddenly turned white, but more excited and puzzled.
Don't understand why Tenraku is so persistent, even if he has a strong power? That kind of thing only hurts others, and it hurts herself, she just can't figure it out ...
Looking at Akeno's excited and puzzled look, Tenraku was gently rubbed the young girl's forehead, after said:
"Because there is no power, nothing can be obtained, and nothing can be protected."
"I want to protect the people I cherish, and I want to protect Akeno, so ah, I need great power!"
After hearing Tenraku's answer, Akeno was dumbfounded, and it took him a long time to cover his mouth, and tears rolled down one after another.
"Sorry, Tenraku, I ... I ..."
Self-blame and guilt, the young girl has stopped crying.
There are many similarities between the two of them, half as Human and half as Devil and Fallen Angel, and their respective mothers died early.
But one thing is different. Tenraku did not inherit the ability of father, nor could he awaken the power of Devil, but he inherited the ability of father and mother perfectly. As long as you want, you can quickly become proficient in this ability and gather powerful power.
However, because she hated this power, she was unable to accept it!
"Akeno, I want to pursue great power. This is my choice, but you are different."
"There is no need to blame or guilt. You just have to live as you wish."
Gently rubbing the forehead of the young girl, Tenraku comforted.
Gradually calmed down, the young girl wiped away the tears on her face, then raised her head.
"Speaking to people like this, Tenraku is too cunning."
Looking at the smile that reappeared on the young girl's face, Tenraku could not help but scratch his head. At this time, he said such a word, maybe he was really cunning.
"We've been here for a short time, and we'll go on tomorrow."
"Um, I will follow Tenraku wherever I go."
"However, before leaving, we would like to thank Aunt Haruno, who has taken care of us a lot these days."
"it is good."
