Bengtie, I'm really not a villain!

You remain silent, yet your silence is deafening.

A flicker of hesitation and struggle crossed Raiden Mei's eyes; after all, she still held onto the last shred of stubbornness.

However, Raiden Mei seemed to hear a mocking and playful sneer in your silence—

"What? Don't you want to know the answer?"

Even if you don't say a word, but just stare at her the whole time, your gaze feels like it's burning hot on Raiden Mei's skin.

Raiden Mei gritted her teeth and took a deep breath.

As she clearly saw the sword markings on her body become even more vibrant, as if breathing, Raiden Mei realized how absurd and ridiculous her actions were.

But she didn't stop. As the last ribbon loosened, Raiden Mei lowered her head and stood before you.

"Are you satisfied now?"

Raiden Mei's voice revealed an unprecedented "gritting her teeth," but the humiliation she conveyed sounded like she was putting on a show with all her might.

As for what Raiden Mei is playing and what she's hiding, only she herself knows the truth.

After all, you never gave Raiden Mei any orders to do anything; everything she's doing is entirely her own initiative.

However, Raiden Mei shifted all the blame onto you, leaving you speechless and with a hint of cold laughter.

………………

When Jingye's vision was blurred by the whiteness, he smelled Raiden Mei's cool, refreshing fragrance, mixed with the sweet scent of her sweat.

Having often trained with Raiden Mei in the past, Jingye had become familiar with Raiden Mei's scent and knew exactly when Raiden Mei's clothes would get wet with sweat.

The appearance of sweat now seemed somewhat strange, in contrast to her cold demeanor.

However, being coerced by him prevented him from sweating at all, and in the smell of that sweat, Jing Ye detected a different scent—

Unlike the "humiliation" and "gritting teeth" that Raiden Mei outwardly displayed, there was a tense feeling that concealed something.

Considering Raiden Mei's expression and eyes as she seemed to be interpreting him without a second thought, and her self-imposed removal of her armor, Jing Ye gave a soft snort, deliberately emphasizing Raiden Mei's current demeanor—

"You saw it yourself; I didn't make any demands. You were the one who wanted to do it."

Jingye was simply emphasizing that he had not forced Raiden Mei to do anything; her current state was entirely of her own volition.

However, it was clear that Jingye's insistence on his innocence sounded even more mocking and sarcastic to Raiden Mei.

"Tell me, are you going after me, just like I said before?"

"Voluntarily removing their armor, voluntarily becoming a **crack**."

To Raiden Mei, Keiya's words were nothing short of an insult to the allure of her actions.

But Raiden Mei couldn't refute it at all, because it was really her own initiative to do it, and Jingye hadn't even opened his mouth yet.

However, Raiden Mei's eyes tried to become more resolute, taking it as a deliberate setup by Keiya to mock her.

The lightning Mei was visibly trembling, and the patterns on her swords became even more exquisite.

Along with Raiden Mei's peach-like face, which looked almost dripping with blood, the sword marks seemed to come alive and breathe powerfully.

"N-no, it's just... practicing Iaijutsu with you, I'll practice..."

"Stop saying those insulting things to me..."

Raiden Mei blushed, gritting her teeth as she obediently followed Keiya's instructions for practicing Iaijutsu, but it was still the same as before—

Jingye didn't say a word, but Raiden Mei started wielding her sword, demonstrating her Iaijutsu technique.

The starting stance, the angle and speed of drawing the sword—all of these were taught to Raiden Mei by Jingye.

Raiden Mei took a deep breath and slowly drew the long sword from her waist, the blade gleaming coldly in the sunlight.

As she moved, her clothes fluttered, and she exuded an aura of focus and determination.

The two exchanged blows, their coordination growing ever more seamless amidst the flashing blades.

To Jingye's surprise, after those few days of practice, Raiden Mei had actually absorbed most of it and was able to reproduce it.

As expected of a genius from Izumo Province, even in a dazed state, he was still able to accurately grasp the essentials of Iaijutsu and master it.

However, Jingye repeatedly emphasized that he did not ask Raiden Mei to do these things; it was all Raiden Mei's own responsibility.

Jingye simply maintained his cold, piercing gaze, silently watching Raiden Mei do everything.

Although she didn't say a word, the mocking look in her eyes clearly conveyed a sense of humiliation to Raiden Mei.

As Raiden Mei clearly received a huge blow during the process, the surging of her sword patterns became more and more obvious, highlighting several words.

Moreover, as the patterns became more and more obvious, Raiden Mei's shame intensified, and the patterns became increasingly elaborate, even outlining numerous hearts.

As Raiden Mei's dignity was humiliated, she felt the power of the blade surging and growing stronger.

"You did all that... all for this knife, didn't you?"

As Jingye silently watched Raiden Mei practice Iaijutsu on her own initiative, and as she swung her sword, Raiden Mei suddenly realized the true purpose of her visit.

She wasn't just going to practice iaido forever; she wanted to get all those questions answered clearly.

Therefore, despite her trembling voice, Raiden Mei was doing her best to muster all her strength—

"You're actually... uh... not really... that awful, waaaaaah, you were just trying to help me?"

"But what exactly is your sword-forging skill... and what about your strength, really...?"

Jingye did not answer Raiden Mei's question, but only observed the knife in her hand. As she practiced swinging the knife during her visit, the power of the knife continued to increase.

As mentioned in the previous villain simulator, even the transformed sword is not enough for Raiden Mei to survive; she needs even greater power.

Therefore, Jingye pondered what other ways he could make Raiden Mei feel even more broken down and twist her emotions even more.

Before Kiana appears here, we'll be able to do the ultimate thing against Raiden Mei—

Just as Jing Ye was pondering this, he suddenly felt sleepy and someone conveniently brought him a pillow.

Footsteps sounded outside the courtyard, followed by shouts:

"Jing Ye, it's rather impolite of me to visit so late at night. Would it be more convenient for us to chat now?"

Just then, the sound struck Raiden Mei like a heavy hammer!

Raiden Mei, who was practicing her slashing technique, suddenly panicked. Her smooth movements abruptly stopped, and she almost dropped her long sword!

During her practice of Iaijutsu, Raiden Mei didn't even pay much attention to making a sound, since breathing techniques are also very important when practicing sword swings.

Holding your breath won't improve the smoothness and power of your sword swings; in fact, it will have the opposite effect. Therefore, you should exhale and make a sound when you need to.

Because it was in Jingye's courtyard, there was absolutely no way anyone else could visit this house that everyone considered useless, so Raiden Mei was able to breathe out and speak so boldly and confidently...

However, now there are not only other people's voices, but also those voices...

To Raiden Mei's ears, it sounded incredibly familiar!

"It's...it's my mother's voice."

Raiden Mei lowered her voice and looked at Jingye with a hint of fear.

At this moment, her breathing became erratic, and her rapid breathing could be clearly heard.

For Raiden Mei, it was clearly abnormal for her to have such chaotic breathing after such a simple exercise. As a genius who was far ahead of all her peers, her control over breathing was also exceptional.

The vulnerability that Raiden Mei is showing now demonstrates that her state of mind is extremely unstable.

"You... why did you call my mother here..."

What is he trying to do? Is he trying to humiliate his mother even more in front of her?

Jingye noticed that Raiden Mei's breathing was becoming increasingly rapid, and she was trembling uncontrollably with anger and tension.

However, it is quite obvious that the sword patterns on Raiden Mei's body are more dazzling, and even seem to faintly outline more interesting characters.

Thus, three options appeared before Jing Ye.

[1. Pretend nothing happened and conceal Raiden Mei's arrival until her mother leaves.]

[2. Intentionally increase the difficulty of the Iaijutsu, making it impossible for Raiden Mei to hide her voice until her mother discovers it.]

[3...Let Raiden Mei's mother witness Raiden Mei's disgraceful behavior firsthand]

Chapter 100 "Kiana"?

The three options presented to Jing Ye all seemed quite exciting, but Jing Ye felt that none of them were quite enough.

After all, having gone through the instances with Estádio, the Great Black Tower, Ruan Mei, Liu Ying, Sister Zhou Ri, and the Robin, this kind of play just doesn't seem right...

Jing Ye suddenly realized that his thoughts were becoming more and more villainous. How could he possibly succumb to the villain simulator?

Even if the villain simulator claims that he is born with the traits of being "full of villainy", Jing Ye doesn't believe that he is really a villain.

but……

Despite Jingye's desire to protest against the so-called "Rogue Abundance" mentioned by the Rogue Simulator, the dangers of sneak attacks that Raiden Mei faces in this instance...

Before making his choice, Jingye considered it carefully and decided to use the opportunity to upgrade the attribute he received when he helped Raiden Mei transform her blade.

[Congratulations, host, for helping Raiden Mei break down mentally while training her Iaijutsu in the past few days.]

[The host uses incredibly realistic scare tactics to break Raiden Mei's spirit, helping her blade undergo a transformation and granting her the glory of dominating the battlefield.]

The knife marks left on Raiden Mei by the host have caused many outsiders to suspect and fear, unable to believe what you have done to her.

[In conclusion, congratulations to the host for achieving the achievement: "Leave your mark on Huang Quan"]

[The host's skill will be upgraded once, upgrading "Observation Haki"]

[The host's Observation Haki has been upgraded; the attribute effect can predict the future direction of the dungeon after a choice is made.]

After receiving the prompt from the Villain Simulator, Jingye activated the effect of his Observation Haki and checked what would happen if he didn't choose the option provided by the Villain Simulator.

Raiden Mei is dead.

The first sentence that popped up from the villain simulator made Jing Ye raise an eyebrow; he had a feeling that this guy was deliberately picking a fight.

However, what the villain simulator presented next was actually quite reasonable and well-founded.

Despite your renewed connection with Raiden Mei and your use of Iaijutsu, her blade failed to undergo a second transformation.

Raiden Mei's strength did not increase again.

Although Raiden Mei is already a powerful figure in Izumo Province, basically ranking among the top 100 strongest individuals, she is still considered a formidable force.

Even on the battlefield between Izumo and Takamagahara, Raiden Mei could easily clear out the ragtag soldiers, and dealing with elite demons was just as easy for her.

However, even with the group of attackers, Raiden Mei was still unable to stop their assault.

In the sudden attack, Raiden Mei was unable to withstand the sneak attack.

The fact that Raiden Mei was being attacked even within Izumo Province has angered and shocked the people of Izumo.

Neither Himeko nor the Raiden family could find the culprits who attacked Raiden Mei.

But all the outrage is now futile.

Because of the death of Raiden Mei, a major combatant, Izumo found itself at a disadvantage in the war against Takamagahara.

In the initial clashes, Izumo was able to barely hold its own against the eight million gods of Takamagahara.

However, as time went by, Izumo Province was no longer a match for Takamagahara due to the ebb and flow of power.

Although Raiden Mei was only one of the top ten ninjas in Izumo before her death, losing Raiden Mei was like losing the brightest rising star of Izumo.

No one believed that Raiden Mei would remain at the level she had when she first stepped onto the battlefield, after all, she was still just a beautiful teenage girl.

[Raiden Mei displayed such terrifying strength on her first appearance on the battlefield that it's foreseeable she will grow into one of the most powerful figures in Izumo.]

Everyone believed that Raiden Mei would be Izumo's strongest fighting force against Takamagahara.

However, Raiden Mei is still just a young girl in the prime of her life. No matter how dazzling her brilliance is, she is still just a newborn calf.

For Raiden Mei, and for the Izumo Kingdom, what they need most is time.

However, those who attacked Raiden Mei didn't give her time to grow; they had already destroyed the future of this most dazzling new star.
