Sitting on a hill with hundreds of lit candles around him, Yuji looked around with disinterest as he seemed to think about the events that made him arrive at that place.

So powerless, weak, incapable. Setsuna just played with him the whole time, and the boy knew that all too well.

The feeling of being slaughtered so one-sidedly was something Yuji realized he never wanted to feel again.

He refused to be so helpless against someone, as if he were a dog in front of a wolf.

And for the first time since he arrived in this new world, Yuji set a goal instead of just going with the flow of things.

He would become so strong that even gods would think twice before facing him.

As he opened his eyes, a white ceiling entered Yuji's field of vision, him slowly sitting up as he turned his gaze to his body, seeing it completely bandaged from neck to toe.

"At least I'm alive." With a sigh, he moved his shoulders, realizing that his body was already healed from the technique used by Setsuna. "That's good. At least it doesn't look like I'll have a permanent sequel."

[Congratulations! You survived an assassination attempt by Setsuna Kiryu! Although you lost in the end, you did considerable damage to the one known as "The Beautiful Beast". Due to the glaring difference in strength between the two, you get an extra prize!]

[Buff on all your attributes.]

[Prediction Lv 1.]

.

[Congratulations! During your fight against Setsuna, you were able to learn the basics of [Koei Style] by analyzing the way Setsuna fought].

[Congratulations! Insisting on continuing the fight even after losing the movement of one of your arms, you were able to awaken the [Evolution] skill, which allowed you to evolve during the fight in an extraordinary way, finding ways to deal with Setsuna even with your opponent pressuring you every second] .

Yuji looked at his rewards, a satisfied smile appearing on his lips as he immediately opened his status.

"That... That's amazing! I'm as strong as Mokichi now!"

Excited to test his strength, the boy immediately jumped out of bed, the pain in his body non-existent as he began punching the air, testing the new speed of his blows.

"Incredible! I feel like I can move at least three times faster than before."

With an excited smile, the boy completely ignored that after an intense fight, he should be resting, beginning to punch the air frantically as he began a Shadowboxing workout.

.

.

.

"He's been asleep for about three days, but his situation is stable and we expect him to wake up any day now."

"That's good, thank you so much, doctor."

Letting out a sigh of relief, Shisumi stopped in front of the door to the room in which Yuji was admitted, the woman opening it with the doctor following her.

"Uh?" Stepping on something damp, the woman looked down, seeing what appeared to be water all over the floor of the room.

Slowly turning her eyes back to the bed, the woman opened her mouth in disbelief as she saw her nephew sitting in the lotus position, his body drenched in sweat as he seemed deeply focused on his meditation.

"W-What? Why is he sweating so much?" The doctor asked in shock.

With a sigh, the woman walked toward the boy, a frightened expression appearing on her lips.

'Uh? What is this pressure?' Coming out of his meditation, Yuji wondered.

Opening his eyes, the boy faced the woman in front of him, a smile appearing on his lips at the sight of his angry aunt.

"Hi Auntie." He spoke without showing even a trace of fear.

The woman noticed his relaxed way of acting, her anger subsiding as she sighed, quickly grabbing the boy's ear and pulling it in warning.

"You stupid boy! Do you know how worried I was when they called me saying you were in the hospital?" She shouted, Yuji remaining silent as he listened to her "I already lost your mother! Do you happen to know how hard it is to think about losing you too?!"

Yuji's eyes widened as he heard his aunt's words.

"I... I can't lose you too..." With tears forming in his eyes, Shisumi hugged Yuji, completely ignoring the fact that he was covered in sweat, the boy returning his embrace with a complicated expression.

'Shit... I've been acting out without even giving my she some explanation...' A tired sigh escaped his mouth, a loving smile appearing on his lips as he stroked the woman's hair lovingly.

It wasn't really his fault for being attacked by Setsuna, but still, he was doing many dangerous things without his aunt's knowledge, from setting up a gang, almost dying fighting Mikey, destroying an entire gang of assassins, and participating in Kengan fights. As her nephew, he should at least explain to her what life he wanted for himself, after all, the woman had no obligation to raise him, but still, she did, and spared no effort to do so.

The hug continued for a few minutes, the woman pulling away as she shook her body to try to get rid of the sweat on her body.

"Great, now I'm drenched in a teenager's sweat."

Yuji of the woman's words as he scratched the back of his neck in shame.

"Looks like you finally woke up." A second voice sounded from the entrance to the room, the doctor startled to see a huge blond man standing in the doorway of the room.

"Master!" Yuji exclaimed upon seeing Mokichi.

"Yuji!" A female voice caught the boy's attention, his eyes turning to Mokichi's side, seeing an Elena advancing toward him with her arms outstretched.

"Wait, Elena! I'm drenched in sweat!"

"I'm glad you're okay!"

He tried to shout at the girl, but she simply ignored him as she jumped up and hugged him tightly, this surprising Shisumi, who saw the scene with shock in her eyes.

'He has a girlfriend and he didn't tell me?!' The woman thought in disbelief.

Mokichi's eyebrows twitched as she saw her sister hugging the boy, a dangerous smile appearing on her lips.

"Elena, I think Yuji is still a little tired, you shouldn't jump on him so suddenly." Mokichi spoke, clearly trying, and failing miserably to contain her own emotions.

"I-Is that right! I need to do his daily examination!" The doctor spoke while looking afraid of all the commotion so suddenly.

"Oh, forgive me Yuji." Elena apologized with an embarrassed expression, Yuji finding her very cute as he stroked her head.

"Don't worry about it, Elena." He flashed a fond smile at her, causing the girl's face to warm as she pulled away to stand beside her brother.

Mokichi felt something break inside him, but just ignored it as he left the room next to his sister, who was waving to Yuji.

"Later you will tell me everything." Shisumi spoke with a dangerous tone.

Yuji nodded with an embarrassed expression, a tired sigh escaping his lips as the woman left the room.

"Sorry about that, doctor."

.

.

.

"So you're his master? This kid really doesn't tell me anything." Shisumi snorted.

"Haha... That's how teenagers are." Mokichi scratched his head.

After they left the room, Shisumi immediately introduced herself to the man who came to visit her nephew, curious about him, since Yuji had never mentioned being training with anyone.

"And you..." The woman turned her attention to the girl who was considerably smaller than she was, since she herself was 170cm, while the girl seemed to have her 153cm. "You must be my nephew's girlfriend"

"No! X2" Elena and Mokichi said in unison, the girl embarrassed while the man had his brow furrowed.

"Oh... Sorry then." Shisumi looked away, immediately realizing what was happening.

'Highly protective of her sister, noted.' She thought.

After a few minutes, the door to the room opened, Yuji coming out with the doctor in tow, the man with a shocked expression on his face.

"How... How is it possible that your injuries have healed so quickly?" The doctor walked off down the hallway with an expression of pure shock on his face, completely ignoring the people on the scene.

"Hey, I've been discharged!" Yuji cracked a big smile.
