Who is not a lawyer?

Luo Mio rolled her eyes at Stella.

"Or I'll ask you to come to the restaurant for lunch today."

After Stella heard him, her eyes kept scanning the entire restaurant.

Luo Mio sighed, looked at Stella speechlessly and said, "You'll scare people away if you look at them like that."

"Sit down, and then head to the corner on our right."

After saying that, Stella and Shushizuku looked over there obscurely.

All they saw was a sneaky, long-haired figure, secretly watching them.

"That person is still wearing the uniform of our Pojun Academy."

"Who is that person?"

"Ayase Ayaseji." Luo Mio took a sip of soup and spoke.

Everyone was shocked.

"Mioka, why do you know that person's name?" Ikki said a little surprised.

Luo Mio glanced at the figure in the corner and said, "I saw the information about participating students compiled by Auntie Hei in the office of the chairman of the academy before, so I took a few glances at it."

Stella said with shame: "You are no longer just taking a few glances."

"I remember..." Daohua looked at her for a few times secretly and said, "She should be a student in Class 1, Grade 3 of our academy."

"Then..." Stella was about to get up when she was stopped by Luo Mio.

"Why?"

"I tell you, if you go over there like this, you'll scare people away, okay!" Luo Mio said speechlessly.

"What should we do then?" Stella pouted and said.

Luo Mio then looked at Dao Hua and said, "Well, sister, I'm leaving it to you."

After hearing Luo Mio's request, Daohua said with a smile: "You, okay, after all, it's about Ikki-kun."

Then Dao Hua stood up and walked straight over.

"This?" Stella looked at him puzzledly.

Zhu Shizuku reminded from the side: "Look carefully."

Ayase Ayase, who was sitting in the corner, seemed to have not noticed that Daohua was walking towards her.

"This was before..." After seeing this, Arisuin narrowed his eyes slightly.

"'Pull the Foot'." Ikki explained to Arisuin: "This move of Sister Daohua is called 'Pull the Foot'. It is a technique that combines the breathing and footwork of ancient martial arts."

"The principle of this technique..."

"As a living being, humans cannot identify everything they see and hear in detail like machines. Even if they see and hear, human consciousness cannot seriously identify it. If the brain were to identify and analyze everything one by one, it would not be able to bear it."

"Therefore, the human brain will prioritize putting unnecessary information into the 'unconscious'."

"Sister Daohua's trick is to sneak her presence into other people's "unconsciousness" and avoid their recognition. Even if she walks into other people's field of vision openly, they will subconsciously give up identifying her. So it will become a situation where she is staring at them, but they can't notice it."

While Ikki was explaining to Arisuin, Touka appeared in front of Ayatsuji Ayase.

"Excuse me, are you Ayase Ayase?" Daohua gave the other party a bright smile.

"Huh?!" The other party was stunned at first, then shouted in shock.

"Ah!!!" Dao Hua's sudden appearance obviously frightened her, and she stood up in panic.

And the moment he stood up, probably because he was frightened, his heel was accidentally tripped by the table and chair, and his body fell backwards involuntarily.

"Boom!"

Ayase Ayase fell to the ground, and there was a pleasant sound of head banging.

Chapter 37: Conversation with Kurashiki Kōto

"I'm so sorry for scaring you like that."

In the hotel's medical room, Dao Hua looked apologetically at the beautiful black-haired girl with delicate features lying on the bed.

She didn't expect that her sudden appearance in front of Ayatsuji Ayase would cause her to panic and trip herself.

When Ayatsuji Ayase saw that Pojun's student union was apologizing to her with apologetic intent, she quickly shook her head.

She lowered her head and said shyly, "No, nothing, it's me, I was in a hurry."

Luo Mio, who was behind Dao Hua, covered her face and laughed quietly.

"Like a ghost..."

Dao Hua's forehead twitched.

It is indeed as Luo Mio said, if I use "Chuzu" in this situation, I will be no different from a ghost.

only...

Dao Hua turned around and glared at Luo Mio fiercely with his chestnut-gold pupils.

(I'll settle the score with you later!)

When Luo Mio saw the golden lightning and fierce look in Dao Hua's eyes, she coughed awkwardly and turned her gaze away.

Ikki looked at Ayatsuji Ayase's terrified expression.

I don't feel like a senior student...

But he still said politely: "Um, Ayatsuji, senior..."

"Yes! What's going on?"

Ayase Ayatsuji answered instantly after hearing what Ikki said.

But while answering, he also shifted his gaze elsewhere, and his entire head and body turned elsewhere, showing a very flexible attitude.

"Um...senpai?"

Ikki said a little dumbfounded when he saw Ayatsuji Ayase turned her head.

"Okay, Ikki." Luo Mio stood behind and said to Ikki, "Didn't you see that Senior Ayatsuji's ears were red?"

Luo Mio's reminder made everyone react.

Ayase Ayase's red ears were revealed from under her black hair.

Ayase Ayase slowly turned her blushing face and lowered her head to murmur, "I feel shy talking to a strange man and looking into his eyes."

Ikki and the people behind him were a little amused.

Daohua observed through the Senrigan that Ayatsuji Ayase's shyness was not deliberate, she was really shy to talk and look at strange men.

After learning this, Daohua stepped forward on behalf of Ikki and asked her, "Then why did Ayatsuji-san secretly follow Ikki-kun?"

After hearing the girl asking him, Ayatsuji Ayase dared to look at Daohua and answered: "Well, that, I, I..."

I?

Ayase Ayatsuji seemed to be gathering all her strength, and with a blushing face, she looked at Ikki and said, "I would like to ask Kurotetsu-kun to teach me swordsmanship!"

Eh?

After hearing this, Ikki was stunned, then stared at Ayase Ayase and thought.

Swordsmanship...surname Ayatsuji...

Ayase Ayatsuji was also stared at by Ikki and lowered her head in embarrassment.

Stella beside Ikki looked at him with a bit of jealousy.

"Ikki..."

After hearing Stella's jealous tone, Ikki realized that he was just staring at someone's impolite behavior.

After apologizing to Ayase Ayase, he asked, "Could it be that Ayase Ayase is Ayase Ayase Kaito's daughter or relative?"

"Well, I'm Ayatsuji Kaito's daughter."

Stella asked in a low voice, "Ayatsuji Kaito?"

"I'm not sure." Arisuin shook his head.

Luo Mio said, "Ayatsuji Kaito is a swordsman known as the "Last Samurai". "

"The reason why you haven't heard of him is because he is not a swordsman, and most swordsmen are not interested in martial arts, but anyone who has been exposed to swordsmanship knows it."

"Tianlong Imperial Tournament, East-West Unification Tournament, Musashi Cup, Judan Tournament... He participated in and won all the famous competitions in the swordsmanship world."

"Even in his heyday, he suppressed countless criminal sword-cutters as a non-sword-cutter."

After hearing this, Stella asked in confusion: "Then why does Senior Ayatsuji, as the daughter of the last samurai, need Ikki to teach her swordsmanship?"

After hearing Stella's doubts, Luo Mio looked at Ikki and Ayase Ayase who were talking, and said, "Ayase Kaito had an accident two years ago and was hospitalized."

"Father was admitted to the hospital due to an accident." Ayase Ayase said in a low voice with a gloomy and depressed look on his face.

"Ever since my father was hospitalized, I have been practicing Ayatsuji Ittoryu alone, but I have recently hit a bottleneck that has prevented me from making any progress. After I saw Ikki-kun's match, I learned that you are one of the few swordsmanship masters in the Pojun Army, so I wanted to come and discuss it with you."

"But I don't know how to talk to a strange man, so..."

That's why I followed Ikki for a whole week.

Everyone was speechless.

However, Ikki looked at Ayase Ayase and said gently: "Of course, Ayase-senpai's request is acceptable. After all, we are both swordsmen, and sparring with each other may be helpful to you."

"really?"

"Ah."

And just when Ikki was discussing swordsmanship with Ayatsuji Ayase.

"Ayase, I heard from others that you were injured and went to the medical room. I came to see you."

The door to the medical room opened and a gruff voice spoke.

After hearing this voice, anger and hatred that was close to murderous intent instantly appeared in Ayase Ayase's eyes!

Luo Mio and others looked towards the door of the medical room.

A tall man with dyed hair, about 180 cm in height, his three white eyes behind his sunglasses were full of ferocity and cruelty. His rouge-colored shirt was draped loosely on his body, with his chest open to reveal a skull tattoo.

"Oh my, Ayase actually has friends?" the man teased in a rough voice.

Dao Hua's eyes narrowed slightly.

(I remember this person is...)

Ikki also looked at that person.

(Such a striking appearance and temperament, I remember it was...)

The man simply glanced at everyone in the medical room, and after glancing at Yihui and Daohua a few more times, he said, "Since you have friends, I won't bother you."

The man then roughly closed the door of the medical room.

Stella looked at the door with a puzzled look and asked, "Who is that person? Ayatsuji-senpai's friend?"

"No, yes." A hoarse voice slowly came out of Ayase Ayase's mouth.

Luo Mio glanced at the door of the medical room and slowly said to Stella: "Stella, I probably haven't told you yet."

"Ok?"

"Why was the last samurai Ayatsuji Kaito hospitalized two years ago?"

"Eh?"

"He was challenged by the man who was just there, the "Swordsman Killer" Kurashiki Kōto, and was knocked to the ground."

"!"

"Swordsman Killer" Kurashiki Kurato..."
