Shirou's clones number 30 million

"But not long ago I suddenly realized that my strength is nothing at all."

"Therefore, I also want to join Liangshan Marsh and learn the true way of martial arts."

"So, why do you want to become stronger?" Misaki Koshiji Akyuu asked.

"I...I don't want to be looked down upon! I want to prove myself, that I'm no worse than anyone else."

"I see."

Misaki Koshiji Akisuke grabbed Aisaka Taiga's arm, squeezed it twice, instantly understood, and shook his head slightly:

"Your development is already slower than normal, and the improper exercise over the years has caused your body to stop developing."

"Is there any hope for me?"

"Of course. Since you want to join Liangshan Marsh, you should be aware of that, right? As long as you cultivate here in the proper way, you will naturally recover slowly."

"Great!"

Taiga Aisaka's face lit up with joy. She hadn't come to the wrong place after all; this was the place she had been dreaming of.

Although many people in the world are stronger than those in Liangshanbo, when it comes to martial arts philosophy and the experience of followers, this place is still better.

"Then...can I become a disciple of Liangshan Marsh?"

"If you've read the manga, you should be very clear about the difference between training at a dojo as a student and becoming a disciple of Ryōzanpaku."

“I know. I am prepared, and I will accept any test.”

"Great, go register with Miyu."

"no problem."

Taiga Aisaka quickly looked at Shirou Shirazawa, clearly indicating that she was about to pay her tuition.

"Lend it to me first, and I'll pay you back when I make money."

"Wait a mininute."

Shirou Hakusawa sent a telepathic message to his shadow clone. The next moment, the shadow clone, who was drinking tea in the Yorozuya, immediately put down his cup and teleported over.

"How much is the tuition? How often do I pay in one lump sum?"

"Pay for two or three years upfront. It's the most cost-effective way to avoid price increases later."

"That makes sense! It seems we'll have to pay back the money we just made from Liangshanbo."

"These two don't look like brothers?" Misaki Koshiji Akyuu looked back and forth between Shirou Shiro and the new shadow clone.

"The clone technique, unique to another world, has been modified many times and is now classified as magic. If any of you are interested in cultivating both magic and martial arts, you can sign up with me."

"Haha... Does this mean you want to earn back the tuition fees? Martial arts should be focused on, magic can be forgotten."

"I see. That's a real shame."

While the two were talking, Bai Zeying's clone had already followed Feng Lin Meiyu into the inner room.

After thinking for a moment, Aisaka Taiga followed.

At the very least, you need to know how much you paid so you can be sure of the amount when it's time to pay back.

"Now that we're here at the dojo, would Manager Hakutaku like to spar with us?" Junto Furinji suggested with a smile.

"No way? You're no match for me. The gap between us is too big. There's no way we can fight."

No sooner had Shirou Shiro finished speaking than Shirou Gyouki threw a punch at him.

"What arrogance!"

In that instant, time seemed to stand still all around.

Niki Tomoyu, who was still in a punching motion, stopped in place, his eyes first showing surprise, then quickly reacting.

Behind him, the others from Liangshan Marsh also remained still, frozen in that moment along with the leaves.

"Your martial arts skills are quite good, and you have reached the pinnacle of the world. However, we are not from the same world, and our abilities are not from the same system. Therefore, we cannot fight each other no matter what."

After speaking, Shirou Hakusawa released the time-stop state.

"Indeed, they are no match for them. They can even stop time, which is beyond the reach of humans."

Ni Gui Zhi Xu took a few steps back with a bored expression, flexed his wrists a couple of times, and walked towards the wooden stake on the side of the courtyard.

"As the saying goes, there is no end to learning. It seems that we still have a lot of room for improvement," Misaki Koshiji Akyu said with a smile.

......

At dusk, at the Shirahama residence.

"Dad, Mom, I have something to tell you."

"What is it?" Saori Shirahama asked in surprise.

"I want to change my name."

"Why are you changing your name again?"

"I suddenly realized that the name Shirou is too common and has no distinctiveness at all. When I went out today, I met more than a dozen people who were also named Shirou."

"So... what name do you want to change to?"

"I want to change my name to Kenichi Shirahama."

Saori Shirahama looked surprised. After a long while, she exchanged a glance with her husband and said in astonishment:

"I remember when you were little, you said that the name Kenichi was too weak and that you were easy to bully, and that you wanted to change your name to Kenichi, right?"

"After a long discussion, we decided to change his name to Shirou."

"Now you suddenly want to change your name back? Is that something you can just change at will?"

"So you changed your name when you were little, huh?" Honoka Shirahama exclaimed with delight. "In that case, I want to change my name too. Honoka isn't a very special name..."

"No."

Saori Shirahama glared at her daughter, then looked at Shirou Shirahama again:

"This time, no matter what you say, neither of us will agree to you changing your name. A name isn't something you can just change so easily."

"I have a reason why I must change my name!"

"What's the reason? Tell me."

"As I just mentioned, Shirou's name is too common and has no distinguishing features at all."

"Well, I already said my answer: no! Hmph...! Unless you can find ten people also named Shirou and have them appear in front of me."

"Deal! It's settled then."

There's not even a need to ask others for help; the clone technique and transformation technique are enough to handle it.

Don't even mention ten, a hundred would be no problem.

Saori Shirahama frowned slightly. She suddenly realized that she might have been tricked by her son.

"You can't hire people from the street; they must have health certificates, driver's licenses, or other documents that can prove their identity."

"No problem, ten, right? I'll go find some right now."

Chapter 675 Is this a collective loss of sanity?

Chapter 675, Section 676: Has this been a collective loss of sanity?

A short while later, Shirahama Shirou entered with a group of transformed shadow clones.

As for items such as identification documents, they are naturally temporary photocopies of other Shirou's documents.

"Mom, it really took a lot of favors to invite these people over. Please introduce yourselves..."

"I am Shiro Shirazawa, I am 17 years old and I am about to graduate from high school. This is my ID."

"Tsukimi Shirou, 17 years old, a second-year high school student, about to enter his third year of high school."

Saori Shirahama stared at everyone in disbelief, glancing at the documents as if she were just glancing at them, and couldn't help but ask:

"What exactly is going on?"

The shadow clone resembling Tsukimi Shirou spoke first:

"It's simple. After we met, we found that we all had the same name, so it was really difficult to address each other."

"So, everyone unanimously decided to change their names and agreed to help persuade their families."

Oh... I see.

Saori Shirahama nodded with a hint of disbelief. Although she felt that this situation was too outrageous, like a dream, there seemed to be no other explanation.

If you had a dozen or so friends who all shared the same name as you, you might even consider changing your name.

However, most people would only think about it and certainly wouldn't be as decisive as their own son, changing his name on a whim.

“Alright, Shirou. No, Kenichi, I’ll go with you to the ward office tomorrow morning to change your name.”

"Thank you. To make it easier to address me, please forget the name Shirou as soon as possible and call me Kenichi from now on."

The boy, who had changed his name back to Kenichi Shirahama, had a slight smile on his face.

After pretending to send away the numerous shadow clones, he returned to the dinner table, only to be met with his younger sister's complaints:

"Why can't I change my name? You're being so biased! I want to change my name too!"

Kenichi Shirahama gently patted her shoulder and said with a smile:

"I think the name Honoka is very nice, there's no need to change it. The only reason I changed my name is because I didn't want to share the same name with someone else."

"So... if you encounter someone named Kenichi again later, will you change your name again, brother?"

"No, it's not that bad. I was originally called Kenichi when I was a child, and I just changed it back now. This time it was because we have a very good relationship. If there is a next time, I will find a way to get the other person to change their name."

"Brother, you're too willful. And you're also unreasonable and rude..."

"Haha... We can talk about the complaints later, the food is getting cold."

"Brother, all you ever say is things that benefit yourself."

Just then, a telephone rang.
