In Tokyo, I draw cards and become a big demon

……

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 classmates floated past my ears like the breeze.

When Uesugi Tetsu came into contact with this world again, he found that the classroom was 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.

Chapter 19: Lilizi: I am in love

Also in the morning, during break in the classroom, sitting in the back row by the window.

Tokugawa Ririko stretched out her hands, lay on the table, and was lazily baked by the sun.

What's the point of swinging the sword yourself?

Lilizi thought.

——Could it be that the millions of swords she swung day and night were just to allow Uesugi Tetsu to use his talent to humiliate her more than ten years later?

Next to Lilizi, her two best friends were crunching shrimp chips and whispering to each other.

The girl in the inner corner opened her mouth in shock. "You look so listless. Could it be that the rumors from yesterday were true?"

The girl in Yangjiao pretended to cover her face and was about to cry: "Things like the love affair between Xiao Tokugawa and me will happen at least ten years after I die!"

"The rumors are true, but the romance is fake."

The whispers of the two best friends sounded like loud shouts to Lilizi, and she could hear them clearly.

Shizuma Manatsu, also known as the girl from Yokaku, covered her mouth and exclaimed, "The information is actually genuine!"

She hugged Lilizi and winked, "Is his name Uesugi Tetsu? I heard he's a dark, 2D otaku like Runa! How do you know him, Tokugawa? How did you get together with him?"

"If you want to scold me, just say it! There's no need to use other people as metaphors!"

Kitano Runa, wearing black-framed glasses, clenched her fists and placed them on her chest, pretending to be angry: "What the hell did our 2D world do to you!"

Lilizi pushed her best friend's face away, grabbed the shrimp chips, and poured them all into her mouth, chewing them.

"My shrimp chips!" Shizuma Manatsu exclaimed, but when she saw the bag was empty, her attitude immediately changed: "Eat! Eat everything! Just consider it my love fund!"

Lilizi's cheeks puffed out slightly as she chewed and said, "First of all, Uesugi-kun is not thin; secondly, I'm not interested in love."

Shizuma Manatsu stared at her for a moment, then smiled and said, "Since you're not interested, could you recommend his line to me? It just so happens that the dark and gothic style is more to my taste lately."

Kitano Runa, who had been silent the whole time, pinched her nose and waved her hand: "Take away the smell, it's really disgusting."

Lilizi shook her head: "No push. He doesn't have time for that. He still has to practice swordplay with me."

"Yohoo, you're still trying to hide it." Shizuma Manatsu smiled ambiguously: "Practicing swordsmanship? From where do you start?"

Seeing Lilizi's silence, the two of them looked at each other and spoke at the same time:

"——Girl, you're in love!"

"I do not have."

"You are in love!"

Lilizi slammed the table and stood up, loudly retorting: "I didn't!"

After saying this, Lilizi realized that everyone in the class was looking at her.

Because she is usually seen as a "silent and cold goddess" by outsiders, the volume she spoke today is unprecedented.

"Look, I'm in a hurry."

Shizuma Manatsu pointed at her and said, "Normally, you wouldn't bother to refute such a topic."

Lilizi was surprised to find that this was indeed the case.

She scratched her head, sat down, and asked her friends in confusion, "Does it count as love if I want to humiliate Uesugi-kun by stepping on him?"

The two best friends looked at each other in astonishment. They exchanged glances for a while, and finally Kitano Runa said seriously:

"Of course it counts!"

She has been deeply involved in the field of the second dimension for a long time. She took her mobile phone and opened the precious collections hidden in layers.

Soon, the door to the new world opened to Lilizi.

"What, what is this?!"

Lilizi's face turned red instantly. She looked around quickly and breathed a sigh of relief when she found that no classmates were paying attention to them.

He took the phone and flipped through the black and white comics inside.

Before she knew it, Lilizi had been deeply absorbed in the ups and downs of the story, the exquisite paintings, and the passionate fighting scenes.

She didn't want to read on, but her curiosity drove her to move her fingers instinctively.

One book after another, one article after another.

It was not until the screen showed "There is no next page" that Ririk looked up and saw her two best friends trying to hold back their laughter at the table.

Lilizi suddenly said: "I understand."

——Love is the desire to control other people’s emotions.

——I want to see those who were once stronger than you obey your orders, and make geniuses with talents far superior to yours bow down to you.

This is love!

Although she was only eighteen years old, Lilizi, who had practiced sword for more than fifteen years, understood everything.

This look of enlightenment made the two best friends exclaim "Ah" in confusion.

——Sister, can you understand the truth of life just by reading a book?

Now, Uesugi Tetsu's sword swinging for half an hour is equivalent to her sword swinging for a month, and the situation has turned into a great thing.

——The stronger and more talented a person is, the more meaningful it is to step on him.

She doesn't even bother to take a second look at those small-time passers-by who are complacent because of a little talent, and are ordinary but unwilling to invest everything.

Then I shouldn't have had the despairing thought of "like a mayfly seeing the blue sky" yesterday, but should have applauded and admired Uesugi Tetsu's powerful talent!

Lilizi thought about this and recalled a buzzword she had heard before: "Is this change of mindset what's called 'love brain'?"

It is said on the Internet that girls who are in love are not normal and should go to the hospital for treatment.

Now it seems that may not be the case.

Thus, the girl's sword heart that was almost shattered yesterday was mended again and became more crystal clear than ever before.

At this moment, Tokugawa Ririko easily transcended the "oneness of man and sword" that had held her back for over a decade, reaching a realm of swordsmanship that was rare in modern times and only achievable by great swordsmen in ancient times.

The heart of the sword is clear.

Kitano Runa looked at Lilizi, whose body was faintly glowing, and stammered, "C-Come to Buddhahood?"

Shizuma Manatsu didn't care about the natural phenomenon of sunlight shining through: "So, do you like Uesugi-kun?"

"I like it, of course I do."

Lilizi smiled.

In the afternoon, let’s skip class and go practice with Uesugi-kun.

She looked at the bright and warm sun outside the window, her eyes full of anticipation.

——Uesugi-kun, you have to become stronger quickly.

……

However, before the afternoon, the two met in the cafeteria.

"Lilizi?"
