Chapter 22 - Slow life | Ryuu 3

Seeing the look on Kai's eyes Ryuu subconsciously took a step back.

She didn't felt malice, lust or any other negative feeling from his eyes but still she felt like she mustn't let him do as he pleased or she might regret it for the rest of her life.

"S-stay back there…"

She raised both of her hands signaling Kai to stop getting closer.

"U-um… ok."

Kai snap back to reality now behaving like a dog obediently stopping before Ryuu's request.

Seeing this Ryuu smiled, and let out a sigh, but her smile was quickly replaced by a deep frown.

"Hey, you haven't answered my question earlier!"

Ryuu shouted her eyebrows raised and her eyes were sharp.

'Right I forgot, I was mesmerize by the thought of seeing a person broke through the sound barrier by my own eyes.'

'She's asking me how can I move in such speed while being Falna less right!

That must be it.'

Kai thought.

His gaze was serious and so was Ryuu.

Kai then pointed at his now twisted legs.

Seeing this Ryuu quickly reacted.

She appeared beside him before he could even react and began chanting.

"…Noah Heal… forgive me but… please endure this…"

She said, but before she could continue Kai stopped her as he patted her on the shoulder back.

"Thank you, Ryuu.

Your concern is appreciated but you don't need to worry.

This is nothing but a minor injury."

He said reassuring Ryuu.

However, Ryuu wasn't reassured so Kai decided to make her.

Out of nowhere Kai's twisted leg began returning to it's original state slowly twisting back in a counter clockwise motion and before she could react Kai's previously twisted leg returned to normal.

"See, I told you there's nothing to be worried about."

Kai said with an amicable smile.

Seeing this Ryuu could only nod.

"But, how did your leg end up like that?"

She asked.

"That was due to my action exerting technique above my current capabilities.

Did you remember my speed earlier.

The one on our second clash!"

"Yes…" – Ryuu.

"That speed is due to me using a technique."

"A technique not a skill?"

She asked, confused.

Kai smiled as he continued.

"Yes, it's not a skill but a technique.

The technique's name is 'Silent Flash Step' it allows me to move ten times or higher of my normal speed for every moment."

'I can only do up to ten times my normal speed. I have yet to fully adjust to my body.' – He thought.

"Isn't that absurd… that technique is already at the level of a skill." – She said her eyes wide open.

"Um, not really, Silent Flash Step is a relatively common technique in where I came from though…" – Kai replied as if it's the most obvious thing in the world.

"…" – Ryuu was speechless.

--- Kai POV ---

--- Overthinking ---

That didn't came out right… UHHG… my self, my mouth.'

Now she thinks I came from some absurdly overpowered village where everyone is so powerful that they secluded themselves from the outside world.

Then here I am a young naïve boy, we mustn't forget handsome beyond saying, escape the village to see the world outside with my own eyes.

/A plot of typical a overpowered mc in Japanese manga's where everyone in the village he came from is max level and he goes in a journey to a starting village to improve only to found out how overpowered he is later in the story as people continues to point out the obvious./

--- End POV ---

Silent Flash Step, is a technique derive from the swordsman's Flash Step, Kai had copied back on Earth when he was caught off guard for the very first time by their extreme speed that it almost cost him his life.

He just added Silent in the naming to say it's not 'COPYRIGHT'

But his Flash Step is a level above the original.

The original can only increase one's movement speed up to the limit of 7.5 times and can only be used a couple of times to prevent long lasting injuries to the muscles and bones.

Kai's Silent Flash Step on the other hand increases the movement speed of an individual 10 times or higher, the highest increase he had was during his escape from the church which he did a 21.5 times increase breaking his legs in the process.

By channeling the energy in body to once legs; muscles – muscle fibers, bones – bone marrow and maintaining precise control one can increase their speed indefinitely, the only downside is that too much energy and exertion can result to one's legs to be destroyed.

However, such downsides do not apply on Kai this time.

He has [Immortal Body] to help him recover from any damages, even the danger of death would be a pickle to him.

So, a mere broken legs is nothing but a momentary inconvenience.

"It's just a technique, want me to teach you?"

Hearing Kai say that Ryuu's ears cutely perk up moving up and down.

'She's having a internal monologue conflict, cute.'

"I…" – Ryuu.

"Don't overthink it, Ryuu." – He said.

'Don't follow my lead of overthinking things.' – He thought.

"…but…" – Ryuu was hesitant.

"Is it that you don't trust me, or you think I would use this moment to take advantage of you in the future…"

Kai said, showing his most innocent and hurt face to Ryuu.

"…No… it's not like that…" – Ryuu hurriedly denied.

"Then what? Ryuu." – Kai asked, sniffing.

'I think I've gone overboard in teasing her.'

'Her expression is as if she's about to cry.'

"That technique of yours is too valuable." – Ryuu said in a serious expression.

"So that's what your worried about…"

Sure this technique is too valuable for this world's point of view.

The question is, can anyone just learn it?

The answer is a big NO.

If the technique is that easy to learn wouldn't every energy users on Earth could used it.

Kai can confidently attest that only geniuses among geniuses can learn it.

Unlike other geniuses Kai knew the fact that's he's different from other and accepted it.

He don't like to discriminate but the fact that's he a genius cannot be denied.

Silent Flash Step, might be too simple for him to practice, in fact the moment he laid eyes on the technique for the first time he already knew the theory behind it.

But for the others it's like climbing a mountainous deadly rocky terrain as high as the Mt. Everest on Earth.

So, Kai didn't really mind teaching his technique to someone.

Moreover, that someone is Ryuu, a person he had decided a must to be part of his future harem.

--- Kai POV ---

Don't judge me, the circumstances force me to this decision.

Furthermore, it seems to me that Chloe and Ryuu did not really mind.

As for syr she's very supportive to this idea.

Tessa on the other hand is undecided I cannot really read her in terms of emotions.

Her naïve, carefree, and airheaded nature made her unpredictable at times.

She might be a beauty and look too similar to Ryuu but I don't really give a damn about such thing when it comes to a person I love and if they're that insecure about their beauty I can even help them to become one.

My eyes that can see through a person's; soul, nature, thoughts, feelings, intent, history, and power give me an entirely different perspective of things.

So beauty isn't really that appealing to me.

Tessa has a transparent soul surrounded by white and golden tendrils.

Her nature is that of a kind and jovial girl.

Her thoughts are…how should I say this… always occupied by, what food should I eat? is that tasty, everything is about food.

She seems to be a big foodie for a petite elf.

Her feelings is the one that's unpredictable, she certainly have interest on me but that's it only interest.

History, I'm not good in reading someone else history unless special circumstances are met like Ryuu's melancholy.

As for her power, she have great talent only a few levels below mine but right now she's pretty weak.
