Shrek Academy

1 year later…

'You look good, Kit.' Yunshiro complimented Tenko's new outfit.

' Thank you, Yunshiro. I saw it when I went to town. I had to have it,' he replied.

'How do you feel about everything?' asked Yunshiro.

'Pretty good, actually. Granted, the last year was brutal. The Satsu no Hado alone has changed me. I can feel it. The thirst for blood and battle is gnawing at me. And I like it. But surprisingly, I'm in control. And I'm ready for other emotions to take over for a bit.'

'Haha, fine by me. So are you going to go find that girl?'

'Huo Wu? No. Not yet. She can wait a bit longer. I have no idea when the Academy will start enrollment, so Ahri and I have to get to Shrek Academy first. Then, I'll go after Huo Wu.'

--------------------------------------------

Sometime later, Tenko and Ahri were packed and riding out of Star Duo Forest on a small horse-drawn wagon. He wears a loose-fitting white jacket with long tails, decorated with gold trim, two elaborate gold dragon designs, one on each side of his chest, over a pair of red pants, which are accented with subtle red swirls. He also wears a pair of shiny gold and black shoes, patterned with a leopard-print design.

Around his neck was his Great Spirit Beads. They were now a mix of Ivory and blood jade, with an Eternal Banyan Tree core. Each bead that held an ability was engraved with a Kanji -- Speed, Stamina, Strength, Endurance, Space, and Time. His long white-streaked black hair was mostly free-flowing, while the top of his hair was in a topknot bound by a gold and crimson crown embroidered with the Juubi no Kitsune.

500 Kilometers later…

Tenko and Ahri were riding into Soutou City. It was one hell of a place. Tenko watched as the merchant tried to sell any and everything. Shops and restaurants were everywhere. People bustling about, the place looked so futuristic compared to Holy Spirit Village and his cottage in Star Duo.

Stopping at a weapons shop, Tenko handed his reins to an illusion sitting next to him. He then entered the shop with Ahri on his left arm. He took a look around, But it was mostly just admiring the craft. Tenko never used weapons. He had no need. He then moved to the armor. Looking around a bit, Tenko stopped at a pair of melee braces and shin guards.

'Nehh,' Tenko and Yunshiro thought in unison.

Tenko moved on to a more special part of the store. There were a few Essence Tools and precious materials in a small room guarded by what felt like a spirit King.

"Ahh, young lord, how can I assist you?" One of the associates in the special section came to Tenko's side.

"I need a storage tool. Show me everything that you have." Tenko didn't even bother to look at the man. But the associate took no offense. He simply bowed and led Tenko to the far left wall. There was a gold podium with a glass case set on it. Within the case were five purple pillows.

"My Lord, each one of the items are storage tools. The last to have been here since the shop was founded. However, the others are constantly changing. These are hot commodities, and they go like the wind."

Tenko looked each of them over. Four out of five looked luxurious, but the last one was rusted and old. However, a storage tool is a storage tool. So it made sense that it retained its value.

"What do you think?" Tenko asked Arhi.

"I think it's nothing but pricey jewelry. And that can't even be called Jewelry. Look at the rust, Tenko." Ahri replied with disinterest.

"Tell me about the rusted one." Tenko lightly chuckled as he spoke to salesman.

"W-well. It's no good, sir. It's unkept material and overly expensive. The shopkeeper is just a filial son and abides by an ancient deal his ancestor made. How about this one?" The man picked up a jade ring band.

"It's elegant, not too flashy, and can hold enough supplies to survive half a year," he explained.

Tenko grabbed the ring, he attempted to put it on, but it was geared towards more elegant hands. Tenko handed the ring back. "I just want to know the story behind the brace."

The brace is the old rusted storage tool.

"Han Yu..."

The associate looked behind him, and his eyes went wide "Boss Li."

The old man wore elegant white robes and stood six feet and two inches tall. His hair was in a topknot, and he had a beard that touched his chest. Beside him was a man of similar height, an elegant middle-aged man with a calm and scholarly appearance.

" I'll help the young man. You go on now," Boss Li spoke with a serene softness.

"Old Man Li… You run this shop?" Asked Tenko.

The old man smiled and nodded. To many, Tenko sounded disrespectful. But Boss Li seemed to understand the young man.

"Good. Good. So can you tell me what's the deal with the brace?"

The middle-aged man spoke first, " It's called Guan Yu's Brace. Have you ever heard of Guan Yu?"

Tenko shook his head.

"It makes sense. Most of his history has been snuffed because of his associations." Replied the middle-aged man

"Guan Yu was my Ancestral Uncle. No blood relation, but, He and two other men were sworn brothers. One of those men was my Ancestral Grandfather. The third was named Deng Yuanliang…

Guan Yu became known as the War God. Deng Yuanliang became known as the God of Forage. He could split the sky with the swing of his mighty hammer. And my grandfather, Yun Fe, was the runt of the bunch. But he became the first Auxiliary Titled Douluo. He was known as the God of Calligraphy. His spirit was a brush, believe it or not.

When they all settled down, Yun Fe became a merchant, Deng Yuanliang founded the Clear Sky Clan, and Guan Yu became addicted to war and slaughter. But before he went insane, Deng Yuanliang forged him, this brace, made of Titanium Gold. Capable of storing up to 5 years' worth of supplies. A storage device fit for a War God." Said Boss Li

'Forget it, Kit. It must be worth a fortune. Leave it.' said Yunshiro.

'It's old and tattered, it will sell, or it wouldn't be here. I'm sure I can haggle the geezer.' Tenko replied to the Juubi

"How much is it?" Tenko asked

The middle-aged man chuckled. "If you can wear it. 5,000 gold."

Boss Li nodded to verify the man's words.

Tenko could be bullheaded. And at this moment, he was the worst.

"4,000, and you have yourself a deal."

" Fine." Said Boss Li. When Tenko reached for the brace, Boss Li signaled for a spirit master with healing abilities.

Tenko reached in the case to retrieve the brace but stopped just before he touched it. He smirked and thought, 'You feel that, Yunshiro? Guan Yu must have cultivated it during his years of war.'

'Aye, I can feel it. But remember. You may not look it, but you're 12 years old. Hell, even if they think you're 15, it won't explain the burst of concentrated killing intent. Plus, the Satsui no Hado makes your Ki visible.'

'Haha. I got this, Juubi'

Tenko concentrated his Dark Hado ki to his hand and arms. It was just enough to pick the brace up. He then used his Ki to make himself sweat. Placing the brace on his forearm. Tenko started to tremble. The brace had connected with his Satsui no Hado. It wasn't killing him, but it made his Dark Hado become wild. He clenched his teeth, and his body tensed as he grunted. He couldn't fight it any longer. Boss Li and his friend were shocked by the boy's endurance. They suddenly felt a killing pressure and began to back up.

'Kit, Don't use it!' Yunshiro shouted.

Tenko instantly cast his reality-defying illusion skill, the Great Spirit Beads around his neck began to glow as he activated his spirit. 2 yellow rings and purple appeared around him. Using the full power of his spirit, he suppressed the Dark Hado within the brace while discreetly absorbing what Guan Yu had left behind.

The pressure causes the floor beneath Tenko to shatter. And then the spirit pressure vanished.

'This kid. This Kid is an Auxiliary system spirit elder. Amazing… no older than 14/15. And his power is already nearing spirit king.' Thought the middle-aged man

-----------------------

Sometime later...

Tenko counted his money to pay for the brace as he sat in the back room with Boss Li and the middle-aged who introduced himself as Ning Fengzhi of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan.

Ning Fengzhi was interested in the talented auxiliary Spirit Master. His words were honeyed and spoke of his clan with subtle praise.

But Tenko didn't give a rat's ass. "Sorry guy, my mother set up a school for me before she died. I have to see it through. Besides, your clan is rich, but you suck. I'll just become a protector and end up breeding your daughter or some niece or cousin because you guys can't break through rank 80." Tenko looked up at lord Ning after he put the last gold piece on the table.

Ning Fengzhi had a vein bulging from his forehead. 'Breeding my daughter? This arrogant little shit.'

" What school is more prestigious than my clan?" asked Ning Fengzhi.

"Shrek Academy. And it's not just prestige. The place is close to my family," replied Tenko.

'That damn school takes my RongRong, now my little genius!' Thought Fengzhi.

"Hmm. I was just heading that way. We should hurry if you want to make it in time for enrollment" Fengzhi stood up and paid his respects to Boss Li.

Outside. Tenko placed his wagon in the storage brace. He felt another presence deep within the tool but put the thought to the side as Ning Fengzhi grabbed him and used his rank 79 spirit power. Tenko quickly grabbed Ahri and the three to traveled to Shrek Academy.

"Don't tell anyone I'm here, and if you fail the exam, there's always room in my clan." Fengzhi then dropped Tenko and Ahri, though he landed on his feet without a sound and with grace. Fengzhi smiled left to find his daughter.

Tenko sprinted to the old man at the desk. He was packing up, and Tenko hoped that they weren't too late.

"Too late, boy. And you're too old anyway," said the man.

"I'm 12 years old. Check my bones. And I'll pay twice the enrollment fee. It was my mom's dying wish that I come here… Please."

The old man stared at Tenko and then snatched his wrist and kneaded Tenko's hand. The man raised an eyebrow "You have spirit abilities?"

Tenko squinted and replied, "Hai. It's more of a martial art, really, but it required the destruction and rebuilding of my bones and muscles to strengthen them."

The old man pursed his lips and nodded. "Show me your calf."

Tenko raised his pants leg, and the old man needed his calf, and a tingling feeling penetrated his leg. " A little over 12 but not much. Your muscle growth and tendon strength are phenomenal. Release your spirit, young one."

Casting his illusion ability, white and red light shined bright from around his neck, and the old man's eyes went wide. Tenko's Beads floated off his neck and hovered in front of him. The old man examined the Kanji on some of the beads but couldn't understand what they meant. An instant later, one purple thousand-year ring and two yellow hundred-year rings spiraled out. Stumping the old man.

"A 12-year-old Spirit Elder…" he muttered. "That's enough. What's your name?"

"Hachijo Tenko"

"Hmm, even your name is odd. Well, 40 gold." said the old man, "You, girl, come now. I don't have all day."

The man checked Ahri's bones, and though she was just as developed as Tenko, her bones stayed true to her age. But he was still surprised to see another twelve-year-old Spirit Elder with a variant fox spirit to boot.

Tenko then pulled out 80 gold spirit coins and dropped them in a wooden box.

A few moments later, The old man, Tenko, and Ahri were walking through Shrek Academy. It was a real run-down place, but Tenko didn't mind. It was much grander than the cottage he left. And with a little work, it would surpass the Hachijo House and dojo.

They continued to walk for a few more moments until they arrived at a group of young folks huddled together, plotting. Across from them was a large haughty muscular man awaiting them. When a blonde-haired young man saw Tenko, Ahri, and the Instructor, he made his way over.

"Instructor Li Yusong. Are there more students?" Asked the young man.

"Dai Mubai, this is Hachijo Tenko and Hachijo Ahri. Have them join the others. You'll find that they meet all of Shrek Academies' requirements." Instructor Li sounded pleased with the presumed siblings, and this surprised Dai Mubai. He understood that Li Yusong valued nothing but talent.

Dai Mubai nodded and led Tenko and Ahri to the group of prospective students. When they arrived, the group stood up and stared at them. Tenko now stood six feet tall, Ahri only two inches shorter than him. Not that much taller than the students already there. Though, Tenko and Dai Mubai were around the same height.

When Tenko looked over the group, his eyes landed on a black-haired boy about five and a half feet tall. He wore a neat blue suit with a silver belt around his waist, which was covered in sapphire blue jewels. Dai Mubai was just about to introduce Tenko and Ahri but was suddenly stopped.

"I know you," Tenko addressed the boy in blue. The boy in blue squinted as something familiar gnawed at him, but he couldn't quite identify it yet.

"You know me? How do you know me?" the boy asked.

"Fight me..." Everyone present was confused by Tenko's actions.

"If we pass that test, I would be happy to spar with you," he replied.

Tenko chuckled, "Oh, we don't spar. We fight. But I guess I can wait until after the test."

The boy nodded his head. "We were just coming up with a plan of attack. How about everyone reintroduces themselves? I'm Tang San, tool spirit blue silver grass, twenty-ninth ranked Control System Battle Spirit Master."

The girl in pink next to Tang San spoke second, "Xiao Wu, beast spirit rabbit, twenty-ninth ranked Assault System Spirit Master."

Xiao Wu is a beautiful young girl with a rosy face. She has a fair and soft appearance that resembles a completely ripe honey peach. She has beautiful long legs. Her black long hair is combed into a scorpion braid hanging past her buttocks. She possesses a pair of bright and intelligent eyes.

The long silver-haired young lady hesitated a moment, then spoke, "Ning Rongrong, tool spirit seven treasure glazed tile pagoda, twenty-sixth ranked Auxiliary System Spirit Master."

Ning Rongrong has extremely fair, delicate skin, her figure unusually harmonious, her entire being looking to give people a kind of earthy feeling. Rong Rong has long flowing, silver hair and also has a pair of beautifully delicate light icy blue colored eyes. She gave off the impression of a highly educated noble young lady. Her gentle and beautiful smiling expression can affect everyone in her surroundings.

Finally, the ice-cold young lady, detached and indifferent, said, "Zhu Zhuqing, beast spirit hell civet, twenty-seventh ranked Agility Attack System Spirit Master."

Zhu Zhuqing has long, flowing black hair scattered over her shoulders. She has an extremely well-developed figure that is somewhat inconsistent with her age, though she fits right in with Tenko and Ahri. If not seeing her face, very likely one would believe she is an adult young lady, especially the imposing bosom. Her facial expression is very indifferent, giving off a kind of chill rising from the heart, pure cold pair of black eyes that did not hold even a trace of vitality.

"Ha--" Ahri began to speak.

Tenko grabbed her wrist to stop her. "Just call her Ahri," he said.

Ahri was confused by his action but went along with it. " Beast spirit fox, Thirty-fifth ranked Attack System Spirit Master."

Tenko was happy that Tang San found a way to cultivate his blue silver grass at such a high speed. He didn't lose out to any of the continent's top talents. But the Xiao Wu girl that clings to him didn't lack talent either. 'Brother San found a woman, hehe,' he thought.

Looking at the RongRong, Tenko had only one thought, 'She has to be his daughter. Surname Ning and has the appearance of glass. But why the hell would she come here?'

'The same reason Kazumi thought this place was best for you,' Replied Yunshiro

' I guess. She's cute, though. Hope we don't have to fight. I would have to ruin her face.'

Tenko's eyes finally landed on the Hell Civet. Her cold demeanor was extremely appealing to him. It contained a ferocity that Hou Wu had sleeping in her. The Hell Civet, Zhu Zhuqing, just had the maturity and most likely the right experiences to hone her nature into this beautifully refined cold steel dagger that she was today. Tenko just took a deep breath and then refocused.

"Tool Spirit, Great Spirit Prayer Beads, thirty-eighth ranked Auxiliary System Spirit Master. Tang San knows my name." Tenko smirked as Tang San looked extremely confused.

"H-how old are you?" Asked RongRong.

"I'll tell you if you let me take you to town." Tenko appeared in front of her with a sly smile.

'Relax, Kit. And stop being so difficult.' said Yunshiro.

Ahri then places a hand on his shoulder and pulls him away as she rolls her eyes at his antics.

RongRong pursed her lips and turned her head up towards the right. Tenko brushed her reaction and asked about Tang San's plan. RongRong's head snapped back as Tenko didn't idle about her actions.

"Ning Rongrong is in charge of supporting us three, then, Xiao Wu is in charge of the main assault, I'm in charge of controlling teacher Zhang's attack, restricting him as far as possible, simultaneously supporting Xiao Wu's frontal charge. Zhu Zhuqing will flank, relying on her speed to pin him down. Can I trouble you to aid Ning RongRong?" Said Tang San

"Of course, and if you need any help, just holler." Tenko took a step back and faced the beast of an instructor. He then walked directly to the man and bowed. "I just wanted to pay respects before the spar. I'm Hachijo Tenko"

"Zhao Wuji,'' He replied and gave a bow in return. He was confused by the odd gesture and did it in kind. It was harmless, and he could tell that Tenko was genuine.

Tang San frowned at the bow, the same gesture that his bestfriend always did before they sparred together. With little time left, Tang San finished his plan. "Ahri, I'll have to trouble you with taking the right flank. Zhu Zhuqing will probably arrive first, serving as a distraction and creating an opportunity for you."

Far off, two men watched as the students got in their positions and prepared to start their test. "I understand your interest in your daughter. But why the boy, Fengzhi?" Asked a hooded man.

"He has the talent to rival that best. I offered him a spot in my clan, but he refused. I just want to see what he's made of."

"Hmm. His skin is a bit tanned now…. If you plan on taking that boy against his will, Fengzhi. You'll have to answer me. That's if his Uncles and Grandfather don't find you first."

"His Uncles and grandfather?" Fengzhi asked with great interest.

"Yes, Haven't you heard the rumors about the slaughter demon, Akuma? He has purple skin and white hair. His skin used to be reddish-brown, and he had red hair. Akuma is his uncle, and Yu Wutian is his grandfather."

Fengzhi's eyes went wide. "He's that Hachijo Tenko?! The disciple of Yu Wutian. But? So that's why Yu Loumian has been tearing up Star Duo forest for a year? This is all too confusing. How do you know this?"

"He's my student, of course," Tang Hao looked over with a haunting smile that gave Fengzhi the chills. "Akuma and his sister raised one child. Hachijo Tenko. Of course, they aren't blood. Tenko was rescued when he was just a babe. And fate decided to have him grow up with my boy."

Fengzhi looked at Tang Hao with worry. The contradictions of information surrounding Tenko's whereabouts and his revealed identity as Yu Fengzhi smelled of complications the Ning Fengzhi was ready for. "Brother Hao, this..."

"I know Fengzhi. That's why I'm happy that Xiao San and Tenko found each other again. They can protect each other from the spirit hall. Based on the past decade, I know the world is preparing for a great war. Now your daughter is fated to join them. Your daughter is good. But I can tell you've coddled her. She wasn't taught battle." Said Hao

Fengszhi refocused on the test and watched as RongRong was now in the air with a vine wrapped around her waist. Xiao Wu vanished and reappeared above Zhao Wuji and landed a crushing blow upon his shoulder. RongRong had enhanced Xiao Wu's strength by 30% though it wasn't enough.

But it held Wuji long enough for Tang San to deploy his blue silver grass to trap Wuji and initiate a deadly combo with Xiao Wu.

Dai Mubai assessed and complimented the perfect duo but sighed because he knew it was not enough to take on Zhao Wuji.

"Haaa!" spirit power erupted from Zhao Wuji and blew Tang San and Xiao Wu back. Tang san had started plotting a counter when a black flash breezed by Wuji's head.

"Speed," said Tang san as the Hell Civet, Zhu Zhuqing used her speed to flank Wuji. At The back of the formation. RongRong activated her second ability and buffed Zhuqing with a 30 percent increase in speed.

She became like the wind and activated her spirit skill Nether Skewer, then proceed to land a flurry of attacks.

"Ka!" Wujai discharged power again and blew Zhuqing away.

An instant after Xiao Wu's scorpion tail braid wrapped around Wuji's throat and pulled him backward, Tang San came at high speed and performed a grappling technique that sent Wuji airborne into another combo attack. Xiao wu teleported behind Wuji and put him in a waist bow by his head. Wuji was sent crashing into the ground like a meteorite.

The ladies cheered as Tang San and Tenko kept serious faces. They knew Zhao Wuji was just getting started. Wuji's Spiritual power erupted. He attempted to materialize his bear beast spirit but was interrupted by a full-powered kick to his back by Xiao Wu. She flipped back towards her team and latched onto a pre-prepared blue silver grass slingshot.

Xiao Wu was launched forward at breakneck speed, sending all of her power in a kick to Zhuqing, turning Zhuqing into a living missile. Just before Zhuqing was in attack range, she was buffed By RongRong, and for the first time, Tenko moved. His spiritual power erupted, and two yellow and purple rings spiraled out. Two beads shined, then a white and bright red Kanji flew and attached itself to the Hell Civet.

"Blessed Rain of the Great Spirit Beads: Speed and Strength!" It was a stacked buffing skill that Tenko had. Single buffs were referred to as a Blessing, and a combination is referred to as Blessed Rain.

The Hell Civet practically vanished. A cold voice echoed, "Hundred Neither Claws!"

All that could be seen were the spiritual power that coated her attacks.

"How much did you increase her attributes?" RongRong asked in awe.

"40 percent. Each ring increases every ability by ten percent. But for some reason, I started at 10 percent, and after I received my first ring, it doubled to twenty percent." he replied.

The group was flabbergasted. Fengzhi became excited as he watched from a distance. "Did you see that? The characters are an ability enhancer. Six beads have strange characters on them. But he only had three spirit rings."

"He gets two abilities for every spirit ring," Hao added. "The boy has raw talent and immeasurable potential."

Back on the training ground, the students and Wuji had failed to notice that small bit of information. And they had no chance as Wuji prematurely ended Zhuqings attack. Even Tenko's forty percent buff on RongRong's thirty percent buff wasn't enough to close the power gap.

But things quickly escalated when Wuji attacked Tang San but was stopped by Xiao Wu. She used an allure ability to disturb his mind, but when Wuji broke free, the backlash was immense, causing Xiao Wu to cough blood. Tang San immediately caught her and used his movement skill to escape from Wuji's attack range.

Of to the side, Ahri had yet to move. When she saw the little rabbit go down. Her body jerked, but Tenko gave her the sign to stand down. Ahri's abilities were fit to kill and unnatural to the world. All things that Tenko wanted to keep secret as long as possible.

"I want a match with you. One on One," Tang San spoke to Zhao Wuji.

Tang San wanted it to be a full hourglass. And that's exactly what he got. The two battled, and Tang San showed Tenko some new hidden weapon techniques. It was extremely effective and skillfully applied. He even incorporated his blue silver grass. It was like his technique was made for his tool spirit. When the match ended. Tang San had come out on top.

Zhao Wuji passed all the students and asked for a boy named Oscar to help everyone recover. Tenko looked far off in the direction of Fengzhi and Tang Hao. And then walked away.

'Too much activity for one day, Kit?'

'I'm fine. It's just odd being around people for so long. Fighting with others. I mean, I didn't do much, and that in itself is the problem. I might not be a team player.'

'Most foxes aren't. But you've been alone for so long, it's going to take some getting used to. One encounter with Huo Wu a year ago doesn't make you a social expert. You still have a lot to get accustomed to. And so does that Vixen with you. You have to let her find herself while she's here. That means focus on yourself and let her move at her own pace.'

"And if she kills somebody?"

"She won't, Kit. And you know that."

--------------------------------------------

The next morning Tenko awoke before the sun had risen and gone on a run like any other day. Though this time, he was alone as Ahri must have slept in with her roommate, Xiao Wu. Once he returned to his dorm, he began to cultivate until the first class bell.

Dung! Dung! Dung! Dung!

Tenko opened his eyes and lept off of his bed. He put on an all-black Gi with rope sandals. Around his neck were his Great Spirit beads. When he arrived the students were already standing in line in front of a black-haired middle-aged man, Tenko assumed was Dean Flender.

Flender looked Tenko over and then said, "Hachijo Tenko. You're late."

"I'm aware of Dean Flender. This is for you," Tenko replied, then floated a letter to the dean. Tenko quickly found his spot at the end of the line next to Dai Mubai.

"I understand you left school grounds this morning." Said Flender.

"Hai, a quick run. I promise no sexcapades unless RongRong asks nicely," Tenko replied with a straight face and a calm tone.

Flender's eye twitched, and the rest of the students took a moment to figure out the two words Tenko smashed together while Ahri giggled to herself.

"You didn't use to be so vulgar, Brother Tenko."

"Ahh, Brother San remembers me. And we were six the last time we saw each other. A lot has changed," Tenko quipped.

"I'm sure… I saw Hachijo House when I returned to the village," said Tang San.

Tenko suddenly became serious and said, "That was a long time ago, Tang San."

"Alright, you two can catch up later. And you, Tenko, If you leave the school, you inform a teacher… Anyway, Welcome to Shrek Academy. I'm your principal, Dean Flender. Later today, Teacher Li will be by to collect your tuition Fees, 100 gold spirit coins! Other than that, classes start tomorrow. Dismissed!" Said Flender.

Before Flender walked away, the man called for Oscar, RongRong, and Tenko. He had told the white-haired spirit master to run 20 laps around the village before lunch or risk going hungry. Oscar naturally protested with pleading eyes. But Flender gave him a simple answer.

"I'm teaching you according to your own ability, Understand? Auxiliary system spirit masters have no direct attack power... Tell me, Oscar. How do you protect yourself on the field of battle?" Flender asked.

Oscar straightened up and became serious, "By hiding behind your partner and using the surrounding area to your advantage!" he answered.

"Right! Running is the basic foundation of all things. An Auxiliary system spirit master that does not know how to run is not a good spirit master. In crucial moments, running one more step is the difference between life and death." Flender turned and began to walk away.

"Take Ning RongRong and Hachijo Tenko with you!" he added.

"Huh!?" Oscar asked confused

"They are auxiliary spirit masters as well. So their the curriculum is the same as yours," he replied
