Kryptonians: Man of Steel

Chapter 1100 A Wrong World
The next morning, sunlight shone through the cracks in the delicate paper sliding door, scattering patches of light into Saeko Busujima's neat bedroom. The air was filled with the faint scent of cherry blossoms, which intertwined with the occasional bird calls outside the window to create a peaceful picture.

However, the tranquility was soon broken by a rapid ring of the phone.

Busujima Saeko slowly opened her eyes from meditation, her deep eyes flashing with the calmness and sharpness unique to a kendo master. She got up quietly, walked to the living room and answered the phone.

On the other end of the line was a long-lost yet familiar voice - her father, Shinichiro Busujima.

"Hello, is this Saeko?"

On the other end of the phone, Shinichiro Busujima's voice was more about concern and longing for his daughter.

"Yes, father, why did you call suddenly?"

Busujima Saeko's voice was calm and polite, although she was surprised by this sudden connection.

Only then did Busujima Saeko realize that Luther was not lying and that he was really introduced by her father. However, her father vaguely said that Luther was very mysterious and asked Busujima Saeko to find ways to build a good relationship with him.

"Father, why did you do this? Who exactly is Luther?"

Busujima Saeko asked directly.

On the other end of the phone, Shinichiro Busujima was silent for a while, as if he was choosing his words.

"Luther is a very complex person. His background and abilities are beyond the comprehension of ordinary people. The reason I introduced him to you is because I think you may be able to establish a special connection between you. Of course, this does not force you to have any form of interaction with him, but I just hope that you can keep an open mind to understand and accept him."

"I hope you can try to reach out to him and establish a friendly relationship."

"So, you want me to marry him?"

Busujima Saeko asked directly again. There was no hesitation or shyness in her tone. Instead, it revealed a maturity and calmness beyond her age.

As a traditional Yamato Nadeshiko, she was not opposed to such things as marriage. However, Busujima Saeko was not an ordinary girl. There was an unknown sharpness in her eyes, which was a temperament honed by long-term rigorous martial arts training and innate fighting instinct.

Her violent tendencies and tyrannical nature do not stem from malice, but from a deep desire for power and control. This trait makes her stand out among her peers and has prevented her from having any real intimate contact with men until now, let alone a relationship with the purpose of marriage.

In this island nation, marriage is a common means of consolidating family status and expanding influence.

Many schools of thought regard their daughters as a medium for recruiting sons-in-law. Biological sons are important, but blood ties cannot be changed, and whether he will be a dragon or a worm is up to fate. But a son-in-law is different, he can be carefully selected from many outstanding candidates and can even become the heir to the family.

Such practice is not uncommon in island countries and has even become a fashion.

Some chaebol founders have even publicly stated that they would rather have daughters than sons, because having a daughter means they can freely choose the "ideal son."

But Busujima Saeko's father was not like that. He had long noticed the talent hidden in his daughter, a sharpness and strength beyond ordinary people, as well as a deep understanding of kendo.

Therefore, he decided to break the tradition and train his daughter as an heir, instead of just treating her as a tool for marriage like other families did.

During Busujima Saeko's growth process, he devoted countless efforts, from the most basic swordsmanship practice to the complex tactical layout, to the cultivation of mind and character, personally guiding and strictly requiring every link.

His expectations for Busujima Saeko go far beyond becoming an excellent swordsman. He hopes that she can become the future spiritual leader of Busujima-ryu swordsmanship and lead the school to new glory.

On the other end of the phone, Shinichiro Busujima was silent for a moment, as if he was choosing his words. "Saeko, you know, I never considered you as a tool for marriage."

"The word 'marriage' may be too serious, but it is undeniable that I do hope that you can maintain a good relationship with Luther. As for how the future will develop, it depends on your own fate."

"In these turbulent times, it's better to have one more friend than one more enemy. Moreover, Luther's ability may be able to help you, or even the entire Busujima family, one day in the future."

Hearing this, Busujima Saeko couldn't help but feel a ripple in her heart.

She knew her father's character very well. He would never speak so highly of others easily, and would never easily pin the fate of the family on others.

The appearance of Luther obviously caused quite a stir in his father's heart.

"I understand, Father. I will try to understand Luther, but the final decision is mine."

Busujima Saeko's voice was firm and powerful. She would not be easily swayed by anyone, including her father.

After hanging up the phone, Busujima Saeko sat alone on the tatami in the living room, lost in thought. She recalled the education she had received since childhood and the high hopes her father had placed on her.

As the eldest daughter of the Busujima family, she was trained as the future head of the family since she was a child.

Kendo, tea ceremony, flower arrangement, calligraphy... She strives to be the best in every skill, not only for the honor of her family, but also to prove her own worth.

However, growing up in such a traditional and strict family environment, Busujima Saeko's character inevitably has a tendency towards violence and tyranny.

Her extraordinary talent in swordsmanship made her nearly invincible among her peers, but it also gave her an indescribable contempt for the weak.

This personality makes her always keep a certain distance in interpersonal communication, let alone establish an intimate relationship with men.

The call from Shinichiro Busujima made her feel an unprecedented curiosity and desire to explore Luther.

She wanted to know what secrets this mysterious man was hiding, and whether he could be a help in her future.

After Luther arranged his own identity and background, he didn't care about it anymore because he would develop on his own.

"Be careful."

Lude grabbed a girl, but before she could react, a sign fell from the sky and hit her in front of her. If she had continued to move forward, she would have been hit.

This made the high school girl, who was wearing a white headband and pantyhose, feel extremely scared.

"Thank you so much, sir."

The girl quickly thanked Luther.

Luther looked at the girl in front of him.

"You're welcome."
