We agreed to be in a band for life, what the heck is Dragon Raja?

The blade flashed, the ancient sword slashing upwards with a light yet sharp motion, like a cloud being torn apart by a sudden gust of wind.

"This move is called 'Mist Slash'."

"The key to 'Kasumi Slash' lies in the blade's rotation, using speed to create a visual illusion. The opponent thinks you're making a horizontal slash, but it has actually been changed to a diagonal cut."

Uesugi held the ancient sword horizontally in front of him and said calmly:

"Once it hits, all of the opponent's defenses will be breached instantly."

"But it naturally also has weaknesses."

"If you are seen through, you will lose a moment of explosive power because you change direction halfway through your movement, so you have to be fast, so fast that no one can see you clearly."

"Let's start practicing."

Snapped!Snapped!Snapped!

The ancient sword cut through the air with a dense, whistling sound.

Nan Yun Yuyue swung her sword again and again, her wrist twisting faster and faster.

The long and tedious repetitive training is an essential path to mastering a sword technique, but with the system panel providing prompts at any time, this repeated practice does not feel boring.

Meanwhile, Toyokawa Shoko saw that Nagumo Ugetsu was still practicing diligently. Despite being very tired, she gritted her teeth and desperately swung the ancient sword in her hand, trying her best to do every movement well.

Time gradually passes,

Kendo LV2 (205/1000)

After her experience points exceeded 200, Nan Yun Yuyue practiced a few more sets of moves before stopping.

"It's getting late, let's stop here for today."

Uesugi Road.

Under his guidance, the two of them have already mastered the basics of 'Mist Slash'.

"Even faster than when I mastered this move."

"Although Xiangzi's progress is not as fast as Yuyue's, he is still a top-notch talent in kendo practice."

He sighed in his heart.

Nagumo Ugetsu and Toyokawa Shoko bowed and bid farewell to Uesugi Kotsushi before leaving the church and returning to their apartment.

the next day,

Today happens to be the day of the final exams in Tsukimori. Since everyone usually sits at their own desk, there's no need to rearrange the desks and chairs for the final exams.

Of course, the seating arrangement for the final exam was randomized, so although everyone was still in the same class, the classmates next to each person had been changed.

This time, Nan Yun Yuyue sat in the third-to-last row, right in the middle.

Surprisingly, according to the seating arrangement in this final exam, he was next to Toyokawa Shoko.

Instead, Ruoye Mu sat in front of the two, which was the opposite of the usual seating arrangement.

"What a coincidence."

He turned to look at Toyokawa Shoko sitting next to him.

Toyokawa Shoko was also looking at him, and as she looked, she thought to herself:

"Is this where Xiao Mu usually sits?"

She glanced at Nan Yunyu a few more times before turning around and looking at the podium in front of her.

Not long after, the teacher in charge of proctoring the exam walked into the classroom carrying the exam papers wrapped in a brown leather bag.

Because of the final exams, everyone's seats were rearranged, so Nan Yun Yuyue could no longer read a novel while waiting for the exam bell to ring.

So he could only look up, listlessly watching the teacher scribble exam instructions on the blackboard.

A soft murmur arose from the audience:

"A new face. I've never seen this teacher before. Could she be a high school teacher?"

"The first subject of the final exam is math. Since she's proctoring the math exam, I guess she must teach high school math, right?"

"That's not necessarily the case."

Soon, the noise subsided and silence returned.

After all, the final exams brought a lot of tension. Most people were still preparing for their first math exam. After a brief chat, they lowered their heads again and made the most of their time to review.

Jingle Bell--

About fifteen minutes later, the exam began as scheduled.

The students had already put away their review materials and were quietly waiting for the invigilator to distribute the exam papers.

"The exam lasts a total of one and a half hours, so please pay attention to the time."

She reminded them again, and then began distributing the test questions.

At the same time, the classroom was filled with the rustling sound of exam papers being passed around.

Nan Yun Yuyue took the test paper from the student in front of her, pulled out one, and then passed the rest on to the next student.

Then he lowered his head and glanced at the questions on the test paper, especially the last few big questions.

"It's not that difficult."

The other students in the classroom reacted differently, but no matter what expressions they had, the exam had already begun, and they could only grit their teeth and answer the questions.

Time passed by,

Nan Yunyu quickly finished the entire test paper. Calculating the time, less than half of the exam was over.

So he simply put down his pen and began to think about his summer vacation plans while in the exam room.

The math problems in Japanese junior high schools aren't really that difficult. With his level, getting a high score would be a piece of cake.

Moreover, the teachers at Tsukimori wouldn't make things too difficult for the students; some of the questions looked complicated, but were actually easier to solve than he had expected.

If Ye Mu usually listens to the lessons most attentively, this exam will be no obstacle for her either.

She and Nan Yunyu finished answering almost at the same time, then gently put down their pens and lowered their heads, seemingly lost in thought.

As for Toyokawa Shoko... although she didn't return to Tsukinomori for quite some time because of that rainy night.

However, the knowledge points taught in Japanese junior high schools were not difficult, and mixed-race people have a stronger memory than ordinary people. Therefore, she learned these contents with ease and quickly caught up with the school's progress. Naturally, she passed the final exam with ease.

Mathematics, English, Language Studies, Geography...

The exams passed in the blink of an eye.

When you're truly immersed in the exam, time really flies. By the time school ends in the afternoon, all the final exams for all subjects are over.

When the bell rang to signal the end of the last exam, the emotions that had been building up throughout the day were suddenly released in the classroom.

In the blink of an eye, starting with Class C, and then Class B, Class A... and then to the classrooms of the first and second years of junior high, the cheers of the students could be heard throughout the entire school building.

"summer vacation!"

"I'm going to high school soon... and then we'll have to be reassigned to different classes. I'll really miss you all."

"Are you going on a trip during summer vacation? We can discuss the plans then."

"it is good."

Students could be seen having excited discussions everywhere.

Summer vacation has begun.

Nan Yun Yuyue also breathed a sigh of relief.

For him, going to school on time every day in the Moon Forest is more like an anchor point for himself.

During summer vacation, he no longer has to get up early every day to go to school, and he can spend more time practicing kendo, rehearsing with the band, and doing other things he planned to do during the free time after finishing the exam papers.

"And Shikari Town..."

"Getting to this place isn't difficult; you just need to buy a ticket... The problem is where to find people who know about the local architecture."

After the earthquake, the original inhabitants of Shikatori Town have all moved away. So many years have passed, and many people have probably forgotten the layout of the town back then.

"There might still be some residents left behind in the area; we can ask them about it later."

Nan Yun Yuyue secretly thought in her heart.

"Moreover, even now, Genjiro is unaware that his younger brother is still alive and believes that his body is still lying in the dry well."

"I'm going there during the summer vacation anyway, so I thought I'd try to figure out how to let him know about this."

Chapter 180 The Meeting of the Heads of the Snake Clan, Erii Uesugi

Summer vacation is a happy time.

Those who can enjoy a full summer vacation are undoubtedly happier.

Although they are about to start high school, Tsukinomori will not use reasons such as "getting ahead of others will allow you to get into the University of Tokyo" to start the summer vacation early. Instead, she wants all students to fully enjoy this hard-won vacation.

In addition, because students will be reassigned to different classes after entering high school, and some students will be sent abroad to study during high school... so many people are taking this opportunity to discuss their summer vacation plans with their friends.

Nan Yunyu had already thought about these things during the day's exams; all that was left was to consider things like timing and booking tickets.

“If I go to Shikari Town, Xiaoxiang will definitely come with me.”

"As for Xiao Mu... it would be best to bring her along as well."

"I'm really not comfortable leaving her at the Wakaba family residence all this time."

Nanyun Yuyue thought.

"As for the band's training, it can be postponed for a few days. They should be able to come back soon."

After leaving the Moon Forest, I returned to my apartment.

He first sent a text message to Uesugi Koshi, then turned on his computer.

the other side,

Genji Heavy Industries,

now,

The atmosphere inside the council chamber was solemn, with a classic Japanese wooden table placed at the very front.

On the table were a precious sword, armor, and a Buddha statue. In front of the Buddha statue was a bronze incense burner, from which wisps of smoke rose, but there was no pungent odor. Instead, it emitted a calming fragrance.

The council chamber was spacious, but there were only six people seated in total.

But these people symbolize the highest authority of the entire Snake Clan, and if any one of them were chosen, the whole of Japan would be shaken.

The two most senior heads of the Fuma family, Fuma Kotaro and Inuyama family, Inuyama Kasa, stood side by side.

Surrounding the two were Ryoma Genichiro, the head of the Ryoma family, Miyamoto Shio, the head of the Miyamoto family, and Sakurai Nanami, who had just finished her family's investment.

Not far from the heads of the families, a red-haired girl was fiddling with a game console in her hands. Despite the solemn atmosphere in the council hall, she seemed oblivious and continued to fiddle with the controller.

Surprisingly, none of the family heads who held absolute authority within the clan stopped her; they simply remained seated, waiting silently.

Shortly afterward, Tachibana Masamune and Genji Chisei entered the conference room.

Upon seeing the two, all five family heads present, except for the red-haired girl, stood up and bowed in greeting.

"No need."

Tachibana Masamune waved warmly.

He sat down at the head of the table, while Genjiro sat to the side, facing the heads of the families present.

"It's been a long time since we've had such a formal meeting."

Yuan Zhisheng thought to himself silently.

Besides being the head of the Yuan family, he has been the director of the Executive Bureau for several months. Now he has not only fully taken over all the affairs of the Executive Bureau, but has also made a name for himself with his own strength.
