I'm a demon in Tokyo!

Chapter 18 Qi He Jutsu, Skilled Level!
Pressing down the rag doll that was already staggering towards the door, Uesugi Tetsu shook his head at it.

'I'll do it.'

He made this mouth shape, took a deep breath, and then placed the doll in the corner of the wooden table, next to the pile of homework that had not been touched for a long time.

"Dad? Are you knocking on the door now to ask me to make a midnight snack?"

While muttering in dissatisfaction, Uesugi Che opened the door as if nothing had happened.

Standing outside the door was a faceless middle-aged man.

It just looked at Shangshan Che quietly without saying a word.

Silent pressure climbed over Uesugi Che's whole body. Just as his face was about to twitch instinctively, he immediately entered a state of calm.

"Why, you're the only one allowed to watch the game, but I'm not allowed to stay up late to watch it?" Uesugi Che took out his phone and showed off the game flashing on it: "Esports is also a competition!"

After that, Uesugi Tetsu calmly walked past the man and said while running water in the bathroom:
"If you need a midnight snack, let me know and I'll heat up the lunchbox in the fridge. Otherwise, I'll eat it all by myself."

After shaking off her stress and washing her hands under the man's gaze, Uesugi Che took out a lunch box from the refrigerator, heated it up, and ate it while browsing her phone, laughing from time to time.

From beginning to end, there was not a single sign of abnormality.

Finally, when Uesugi Tetsu was about to lick the plastic bowl of his extra-large curry beef bento clean, the faceless man who had been keeping his face pressed against his cheek and looking at him slowly walked away.

I returned to the sofa in front of the TV that was always replaying the same game and sat down.

Uesugi Che seemed unaware of anything and continued to concentrate on the lunch box in his hand.

Only after he had finished eating the lunch box did Uesugi Tetsu throw it into the trash bag as if in triumph.

Before returning to the room, Uesugi Tetsu even said to the faceless man on the sofa:
"Dad, I'm going to sleep. You should go to bed early too."

thump.

The moment the door was closed, Uesugi Tetsu collapsed.

It was like a drowning person who had just been pulled ashore, gasping silently and heavily, and his originally dry back was soaked in an instant.

Thanks Lilizi!
Uesugi Che leaned on the corner of the table and gasped for breath. He had never felt so grateful to someone as at this moment.

If he hadn't maintained the calmness that Ririkko had taught him, he would definitely have sweated, his hands would have trembled, or he would have revealed some flaws that he himself hadn't noticed.

Then, the three-star daddy, nicknamed "evil ghost", swallowed it in one gulp!
Uesugi Tetsu looked at the rag doll that trotted to his side, thinking that it might not be killed instantly, but it would definitely face off against the faceless father with a three-star Gundam.

In this way, he would not only lose the rag doll given to him by Nanjo-san, which was enough to intimidate his father, but also lose a three-star safe house!

That’s right, the reason why Uesugi Tetsu had the courage to open the door was to make his “father” who had sensed something was wrong feel at ease after observing him.

After rubbing the doll's little head, Uesugi Che held it and lay on the bed, breathing a sigh of relief.

——The plan works!
Uesugi Tetsu's idea is very simple.

For unknown reasons, the father wanted to attack him, but he was afraid of the doll, so he blurred his memory and waited for the opportunity.

And since my father is "supporting" me, he naturally won't allow other evil spirits to mess around.

In this way, isn't it equivalent to Uesugi Che getting a bodyguard with three-star combat power for free?
"Thank you, too."

After poking the droopy little face of the rag doll, Uesugi Che placed it on the head of the bed and covered it with the quilt again.

"Samsung..."

He sighed and glanced at Xiao Prajna's progress bar which was not even halfway through.

There is indeed a long way to go.

Thinking of this, Uesugi Tetsu actually fell asleep subconsciously maintaining the breathing rhythm of Qigong.

[After practicing in dreams, your skill, the proficiency of the Qi He Jutsu fragment, has increased by +7!]

……

The next day.

Uesugi Tetsu was walking on the way to school with a look of surprise on his face.

Unexpectedly, the proficiency of Qigong can actually increase while sleeping.

Even if I didn’t practice as much as normal, this was a big discovery!
and……

Uesugi Tetsu stared at the symbol of [Incomplete Qi He Jutsu (Entry Level 87/100)] in front of him, determined to max out the remaining proficiency during the morning class, and strive to make a breakthrough before lunch!
With the help of a calm mind, the teacher's teachings and the noisy chatter of his classmates drifted past his ears like a gentle breeze. When Uesugi Tetsu reconnected with this world, he found the classroom empty.

"Have you gone to gym class?"

He smiled knowingly and didn't care.

Because, after almost a morning of dedicated efforts, the Qihe technique has been successfully broken through.

[Your skill, Qi He Jutsu Fragment Proficiency +13!]

[Your skill, Qihejutsu fragments, has been upgraded to proficient level!]

[Qihe Jutsu Fragments (Proficient 0/300)]

[Effect: Gathers the energy of the body and combines it into one place, with obvious effects.]

[Your physique +2! ]

The moment the breakthrough was completed, Uesugi Che could feel his whole body feeling so comfortable as if it was soaked in warm water.

After this feeling faded away, Uesugi Tetsu could feel that his body was much stronger than before, and the "qi" in his body was more than twice as strong.

"I'm evolving and getting stronger."

Uesugi Tetsu murmured softly. He could clearly feel the transformation from his original frail and weak body to his current strong body.

This taste is really too wonderful.

Open the property panel again, the data has become——

【Uesugi Tetsu】

【Physique: 6】

[Will: 8]

【Charm: 9】

[Spiritual Skills: 1]

Except for the spiritual attribute which is still a pitiful "1", both his physique and willpower have been greatly improved.

As for charm...

Uesugi Che didn't think this thing was useful. Could it make the demon willingly reveal its soul ashes?
Taking a deep breath, Uesugi Che mobilized the energy in his body, and immediately saw his physical attribute increase by +1 again.

"good."

Uesugi Tetsu smiled like an old farmer.

An upgrade of Qi He Jue can actually bring him a full 3 points of physical improvement under normal circumstances.

Although there was a margin of 0.5 points of physical strength left over from before, it was still a very rich harvest.

There is still half an hour before the get out of class ends. Uesugi Che did not act alone, but walked to the playground and quietly mixed in with the group of athletes watching the basketball game.

With his low presence, naturally no one noticed that there was suddenly one more person in the crowd.

The sun is shining brightly on the basketball court.

"Ando-kun and the others fight so handsomely!"

Listening to the cheers of the girls beside him, Uesugi Tetsu nodded in agreement: "Yeah, you fight very coolly."

Then he found a dark and deserted corner and continued to practice breathing exercises.

Basketball? Handsome?

What is that? Can it be eaten as physical strength? Or, when the demons come to kill you, can you say, "Hey, brother, stop, I want to challenge you to a one-on-one shooting match?"

Uesugi Tetsu felt that this was not going to work.

Therefore, Uesugi Tetsu, who had mixed into the cheerleading team, was still practicing silently.

"In the afternoon, let's skip class and go practice with Lilizi."

he thinks.
