Unspeakable bubbles

Augustus simply nodded in response to Yuko's gratitude.

He waited patiently for a while and found that the girl in front of him was just apprehensive and grateful, but she did not say what Augustus wanted to hear.

'Perhaps she didn't understand my hint?'

Augustus felt that he had said enough for today, and some things couldn't be rushed.

"Alright, Yu Zi, don't worry. Go back to your dorm today, rest and recover from your injury."

"Yes, Dean. Yu Zi will be going now."

After the girl left, the office returned to silence. Augustus sat in his chair, feeling slightly disappointed.

He was disappointed not only by Ikuko's failure to give him a clear answer immediately, but also by Sakakibara Ikuko's flustered and timid attitude.

Yuko has great talent, and what's most remarkable is that the mystery she awakened is similar to her own, both being physical enhancements.

Augustus had always had this idea: if ordinary people who hadn't awakened could elevate themselves to incredible levels by practicing those techniques, why couldn't they, the powerful beings of the mystical side, do the same?

No one has ever said that awakening the mystical means one cannot develop in martial arts.

Especially with his mysterious enhancement of the physical body, wouldn't he be even more powerful once he learns internal energy cultivation?

The idea is good, but there are just too many obstacles in reality.

The cultivation technique that Augustus had his eye on was no ordinary thing. Forget about the Heaven-level technique, then let's go with the Earth-level one.

However, Earth-level martial arts techniques are the foundation of large schools. Despite his efforts, Augustus only managed to obtain fragments of Earth-level techniques, and he had no way of learning the complete techniques.

As time went on, his disappointment led him to consider finding a successor.

Section 182, Chapter 181: A Temporary Enemy

The relationship between the ancient martial arts side and the mystical side, while not to the point of irreconcilable conflict, is certainly not good.

From the perspective of martial artists, those on the mystical side are all on the wrong path and are not of the same ilk as them.

As one of the higher-ups in the Seven Rings Tower, Augustus faced an unimaginable challenge in trying to extract the lifeblood from those rigid-minded and hostile warriors.

Moreover, obtaining a high-level cultivation technique is only the first step.

Augustus still needs to explore and practice. Just as no one denies that people on the mystical side can cultivate internal energy, no one can guarantee that people on the mystical side can successfully cultivate like ordinary people.

'To integrate the two systems and create a completely new world—even if I dedicate my entire life to this, I might not be able to achieve it!'

Therefore, it is essential to have someone who understands you and carries on your dreams!

Augustus chose Ikuko, his original plan being to put pressure on her by using the incident of the broken rock flow.

When she felt lost and unsure of what to do, Augustus would lend a helping hand.

Ideally, they should strike while the iron is hot and officially establish their master-disciple relationship.

however……

'Let's wait and see. To be my successor, one must have a resilient character.'

'Yu Zi usually seems fearless, but I never expected her to become so timid and hesitant when something happens.'

'Hmm, maybe my expectations are too high? After all, she's still young, and it's normal for her to be scared when suddenly faced with something like this.'

'But……'

If Augustus in the office was filled with disappointment and turmoil, then Yuko, once outside, was filled with nothing but resentment.

"Hey, your words are easier said than done. If you hadn't told me how amazing your martial arts techniques are, would I have even bothered with Eiji?"

'Not only did you deliberately conceal the importance of Earth-level cultivation techniques to your school, Augustus, you were just waiting for me to fall into your trap, weren't you?'

Yuko wasn't one to back down from trouble. So what if she provoked the Hagan-ryu? Their heir was only on par with her.

She was confident in herself; Eiji was only a temporary opponent.

'Hmph, it won't be long, just one year, one year and I'll surpass him.'

'What's so special about the Broken Rock Style? From now on, their sect leader won't be a match for me. If I'm ever in a bad mood, I'll wipe their sect off the map of the ancient martial arts world!'

Yuko wasn't angry that she had gotten herself into trouble, but rather...

'You Augustus, this time it's my fault for being greedy and falling for your trick.'

'This isn't over! I'm no match for you now, just you wait.'

Yuko left without saying a word, her face grim, showing no trace of the fear and anxiety she had shown in front of Augustus earlier.

"Kuroro, is something bothering you?"

Bubble looked at the little fairy sitting on the pencil case, lost in thought, and couldn't help but ask.

Recently, Kuroro has been behaving strangely; it often seems distracted and looks dazed.

Kuroro used to love styling Bubbles' hair, but recently Bubbles' signature 'messy' hairstyle hasn't appeared.

"Bubble, I'm thinking about something very important."

"Can you tell Bubble? Maybe Bubble can help."

"Of course, well, Bubble, you know I've actually been searching for the way back to my home planet, right?"

"Yes."

"I'm starting to get a clue."

"real?!"

"Hmm," the little fairy nodded, but didn't seem very interested.

“Our race once made a deal with a powerful being in the Chaos. We gave it the sacrifices it wanted, and it promised to help us once in the future.”

“The offerings have already been made; now it’s time for it to lend me a hand.”

"Then, Kuroro, go ask it for help."

"..."

"The Chaos Sea is not so easy to enter."

The little fairy said with a worried look, "There are many bad guys inside. Kuroro is so tender and delicious. Maybe before we even find that big lord, Kuroro will be eaten."

"Yes, there are always some strange things fighting in the Chaos Sea."

"what?"

The little fairy was taken aback for a moment, then realized: "After the ceremony, the King of the Azure Sky took you to the Chaos Sea?"

"Yes, Aunt Elisa also gave Bubble a bracelet."

"Let me see!"

Bubble stretched out her right hand, on which was a simple pearl bracelet.

The little fairy cautiously examined the bracelet. It looked ordinary, like something from a street stall, but Kuroro dared not be careless.

After all, it was a gift from the great lord, so it was definitely not ordinary.

Kuroro slowly reached out his hand, and just as he was about to touch the pearl bracelet, a layer of seven-colored light appeared, separating his hand from it.

"Okay, okay, okay, this is all I need!"

"With this pearl bracelet and my help, as long as we avoid the territories of those great lords and top lords, we will have no problem traversing the Chaos Sea."

"There is still danger, but it has been reduced to an acceptable level, Bubble..."

"Would you... would you be willing to help me?"

"Kuroro, don't worry, Bubble will help you," the little girl said with a smile.

"But Bubble has class tomorrow, let's wait until Sunday."

The little fairy's expression shifted unpredictably. From Bubble's words, it was clear that she had underestimated the danger of their next journey.

Kuroro could, of course, choose not to say anything, lest the little girl change her mind, but...

"Bubble, it's not as simple as you think."

The little fairy looked at Bubble's azure glasses and said with some sadness, "The pearl bracelet has strong defensive capabilities, and what's even more rare is that it still retains the aura of a Great Lord. Theoretically, even Chaos Lords would avoid us."

"But no one knows what we will encounter in the Chaos Sea. Who knows which Chaos Lord has gone mad and insists on causing trouble for us."

"Bubble, you need to know that this time is different from your last trip into the Chaos Sea. It won't be an easy journey."

"Moreover, time is distorted in the chaos. We might have just entered the chaotic sea one second and returned to this planet the next. Similarly, we might return here from the chaotic sea to find everything changed."

"I don't have the abilities of the King of the Azure Sky. I can't grasp the flow of time in the chaos, and I can't send you back at the right time like it does."

"Everything depends on luck."

The little fairy sighed: "Actually, the best way is to wait a few hundred years, until Kuroro grows up, and then cross the starry sky to return to his home."

"But, but Kuroro can't wait that long. Kuroro really wants to go home."

As she spoke, the little fairy's eyes reddened.

"Kuroro, don't be sad."

The little girl wiped away Kuroro's tears with her fingers. "Bubble said it before, Bubble will help you."

"But, but..."

Let's set off on Sunday!

“Bubble,” Kuroro was speechless for a moment.

After a long while, the little fairy asked, "Why are you so nice to Kuroro?"

"Because Kuroro was Bubble's first friend!"
