Under the setting sun, at the school gate, two young men with Mystic Eyes of Death Perception finally faced each other and stared at each other across the school gate.
Fang Li's eyes narrowed slightly as he looked at the young man in the student uniform with his slender body and short black hair.
To be precise, this wasn't the first time Fang Li had met Tohno Shiki.
In the Main God's Dimension training ground, Fang Li had simulated and fought against Tohno Shiki countless times to train his techniques and Eyes.
However, after seeing the real Tohno Shiki, Fang Li realized that the simulated versions in the training ground were just fakes.
At least, the simulated Tohno Shiki in the Main God's Dimension training ground would charge at Fang Li with icy blue mystic eyes and wield a knife, displaying a cold and determined aura.
But the Tohno Shiki in front of him looked somewhat foolish as he looked at Fang Li, lacking the icy demeanor and decisiveness of the simulated Tohno Shiki in the training ground.
Moreover, the current Tohno Shiki had something that the simulations in the drill ground did not have.
It was a pair of glasses.
A simple pair of square glasses.
Tohno Shiki wore those very ordinary square glasses and asked Fang Li with a slightly uncertain tone.
"Excuse me, are you from the Tohno Family?"
His voice wasn't shy, but it wasn't forceful either, and it was just a simple question.
He appeared to be an ordinary high school student who could be found anywhere.
It's believed that anyone who saw Tohno Shiki for the first time would have this impression.
In other words, Tohno Shiki's appearance was completely unremarkable.
Of course, that was just on the surface.
Only Fang Li knew that the seemingly ordinary young man in front of him was actually a hidden existence of the Murdering Demon, just like himself.
Fang Li smiled faintly at Tohno Shiki and spoke slowly.
"Yes, Young Master Shiki, I am a butler of the Tohno family, and I am here on the orders of Akiha San to pick you up."
At that moment, Fang Li acted like a perfect butler and bowed to Tohno Shiki.
However, Tohno Shiki seemed nervous.
"I heard that the Tohno family would send someone to pick me up," Tohno Shiki said with a troubled expression, "but the 'Young Master' part isn't necessary, right?"
"How can that be?" Fang Li replied firmly, "You are the eldest son of the Tohno family, and I am a butler of the Tohno family. If I were to show disrespect in front of the young master, Ojou-sama would blame me."
This was said by the butler who woke up later than the Ojou-sama he was talking about, and who was even extremely reckless when confronted with this Ojou-sama.
Tohno Shiki was easily fooled by Fang Li's serious attitude and began to sigh.
"Even though I say that, I've been living in the Tohno Family branch for the past eight years," Tohno Shiki scratched his head and said, "And the Tohno Family only has one general family, and to suddenly call me Young Master, it's really going to be uncomfortable.
"Is that so?" The righteousness and seriousness on Fang Li's face abruptly disappeared, replaced by ease and serenity, as he said, "In that case, I will have to overstep my bounds."
Fang Li's extremely sudden transformation surprised Tohno Shiki, and he was stunned once again.
"What happened? "Fang Li looked at Tohno Shiki who remained there, the corner of his mouth lifted slightly, he shrugged his shoulders and said, "Or is that really too rude, I should be more respectful to you young master? "
"No, no, no, that's fine." Tohno Shiki then reacted and hurriedly said, "That was better just now, make sure you do that, please".
Looking at Tohno Shiki's somewhat desperate expression, it seemed that he really was not used to being treated too respectfully.
Fang Li had obviously anticipated this, which was why he took pleasure in it.
"Since that's the case, I'll just call you by your name."
Fang Li looked directly at Tohno Shiki's body and spoke indifferently.
"Let me introduce myself, my name is Nanaya Fang Li, please take care of me."
As if he had heard something unimaginable, Tohno Shiki's gaze became somewhat trance-like.
Under his inconspicuous square glasses, a hint of ice blue suddenly flickered.
Seeing this, Fang Li's eyes narrowed slightly, and his dark pupils suddenly turned ice blue as well.
The two pairs of Mystic Eyes suddenly stared at each other.
"----!"
Shortly after that, Fang Li and Tohno Shiki's minds simultaneously experienced a shock-like sensation.
"Ugh...!"
The one who made that sound was Tohno Shiki.
Tohno Shiki suddenly covered his head as if something had hit him hard and staggered back several steps.
Fang Li, on the other hand, did not show any unusual reaction.
Therefore, Fang Li understood what had happened almost immediately.
"Mystic Eyes are reading each other's Death Perception?"
In that split second, Fang Li's and Tohno Shiki's Mystic Eyes of Death Perception had read each other's Death Concept.
Normally, Mystic Eyes of Death Perception can sense the death of objects and receive it visually.
However, when Mystic Eyes of Death Perception try to read the death of another Mystic Eyes of Death Perception, a logical conflict naturally arises.
This conflict causes the brain to overload in its attempt to perceive the death of the other, a concept that the human brain cannot comprehend. Forced comprehension would place an enormous burden on the brain, possibly leading to brain death and leaving one a vegetable.
Therefore, Tohno Shiki's reaction, clutching his head in pain, was understandable.
If Tohno Shiki had not worn the Mystic Eyes that suppressed their power somewhat, called the Mystic Eyes of Death Perception, Tohno Shiki might have passed out long ago.
Fang Li was unaffected because for him, understanding death was as natural as eating, without burdening his brain as it did Tohno Shiki's.
At that moment, Fang Li held back the substantialization of his Mystic Eyes of Death Perception, allowing his eyes to return to their dark hue, and walked toward Tohno Shiki, supporting him.
Seeing Tohno Shiki in obvious pain, Fang Li asked, "Are you okay?"
"It's... it's okay," Tohno Shiki forced a smile and said, "It's just a little painful."
"Let's go back to the mansion quickly," Fang Li said without hesitation, "Come, let me help you."
With Fang Li's help, Tohno Shiki finally began to move forward.
Two young men with Mystic Eyes capable of looking straight into the face of death, who had met at that moment, walked towards the Tohno family mansion.
