My first (fight another day) battle

Yuki slowly opened her eyes and saw everyone's surprised looks. She guessed why they were that surprised, while getting up Yuki asked, "how many months it has been since I sat here?" everyone got confused and understood she went into tranquilize stage and didn't keep track of time.

"Months?" Aya exclaimed, "Young miss, it's been only 1 day. You sat here yesterday and opened your eyes today." Yuki got surprised and understood the real reason for everyone's surprise was because she opened 1st petal in just 1 day.

"Elders," Akihiko pointed out to people who ridiculed Yuki before, "yesterday you all ridiculed her, now she proved that she is not trash but a genius, apologize to her."

Yuki got confused because she felt it was unnecessary as she didn't care about others' opinions from the beginning.

Elders felt reluctant, they glanced at each other while deciding to stand on one word and talked, "even if she is a genius, she is just a junior, we can't lower ourselves to her."

"Yes, she should consider our seniority and let go of the past."

"She belongs to our family now, so there's no need to apologize to one of us."

That self-pride made Yuki a little irritated, 'che! So arrogant.'

Akihiko to confirm asked, "So you are saying no matter what you won't apologize."

Elders strictly denied, "We won't."

Akihiko sighed for their foolishness and said, "Fine. Yuki, don't mind them, you did well, I will support you in any way you want, so cultivate well and make me proud," to cheer her against disdain of others.

Akihiko never disdained her; he only didn't focus on her before. That made Yuki surprised and replied, "yes father (sons-in-law or daughters-in-law sometimes call fathers-in-law as a father to show intimacy, here Yuki used it to sugar-coat her words), I want some herbs, can I use the herbs in the shop?"

"How dare you ask for herbs?" questioned an elder, "Even elders won't get many herbs."

Yuki got annoyed by all unreasonable arguments because she never heard such unreasonable opinions even in Japanese history books, at least what she could remember. People in this world didn't have compassion, shame, modesty or such things.

"Ok, ok. I understand what you are saying," Yuki tried to exploit as she was a genius now, "I have my father. I will go and ask him, I am not an orphan."

Akihiko got worried and said, "wait, Yuki," he looked at elders with anger, "stop talking," then he looked at Yuki with a smile, "you can have as many as you want, don't pay attention to what others say, I will support you, Yuki."

What Yuki requested was unreasonable even for a genius but now Akira was trash and Gakuto could easily terminate the marriage now that his daughter became a genius.

To stop that, they needed to give benefits to Yuki even if they were unreasonable and try to impress her so that in the future when she became powerful, they could also benefit from that.

But the elders were only thinking about themselves selfishly, which made Akihiko angry.

Yuki smiled proudly for getting resources to start alchemy and said, "then I will help myself," she walked away while the elders were very dissatisfied. She didn't have any intention to divorce Akira, as she didn't need to have sex with him.

Even if someone were tried to terminate the marriage, she would reject it.

In Hoshi family hall, elders were discontent and questioned Akihiko, "why did you let her do as she pleases?"

"We need to put her under our control, if you spoil her, she will sit on our heads."

"She is too arrogant, we need to show who the real owner here is."

"Stop it," Akihiko raised his voice, "can you stop her if she wants a divorce now? Now Akira is a waste, if brother Gakuto goes to a powerful family's young master and gives Yuki to him, do you think our Hoshi family will rise? You all are just trying to satisfy your pride, why is no one thinking about family interests?

If Yuki becomes powerful, she will become a powerhouse and our house is hosting her, so we will raise but if you want to suppress her, then there is only doom for our family." The elders didn't have the interest to continue after hearing that but most of their faces were discontent.

Yuki in her bedroom was looking at the shop in the system where she saw blue dew grass as the free item in the 1st category.

Then she saw a guide for an alchemist. It was for trainee and trainer guide with 100 1st grade pill recipes and 50 2nd grade pill recipes. It cost 10,000 silver coins.

Yuki felt dilemma as she didn't know where to get that much money.

If she wanted to ask her father she remembered how he was reluctant to even take 1 silver coin for her to buy a dress.

'You can take a loan from the system,' the system suggested as Yuki was distressed about where to get money.

'Forget about that,' Yuki uninterestingly declined, 'I am not sure if I can make pills. I heard people take years if not decades to just make 1 pill when they start learning and mother (referring to previous life) said to never take a loan.'

'That's because she knows you are stupid,' the system continued while Yuki got mad, 'but in this world, it is easy to earn money, besides your talent is 9 stars, you can do it host.'

'Even if I am stupid you don't need to rub it in my face,' Yuki shouted, then she became soft after digesting the easy to earn money line, 'fine, I will give it a try, I opened the 1st petal, so he might give me some money if I act cute,' she didn't want to admit that she was using her gender there, 'using everything at disposable is the respect you can give to your opponent, I will always be a man at heart,' she totally deleted the loan part.

'But he is your father, not your opponent,' said system.

'Shut up.'

Yuki took out the thing she brought from the accessories shop. It was a nose pin. Nose piercing symbolizes a girl's rebellion against society's traditional values. It was a symbol of boldness, rebellion and freedom of choice. Her mother said it to her in her previous life.

Now that her body was that of a girl, she felt it would be nice to have a piercing. She also wanted to put it so that she could remind herself as a man inside whenever she saw it.

Also, she was going to go against society's traditional values by the looks of it, so she was very enthusiastic about that.

She pierced her left nostril and cleaned it and then she put on the golden nose pin. She checked it in a mirror, 'she looks cuter like this. If she was another person then I would have squeezed her to my heart content. Especially this hairstyle makes her the cutest thing in this world.'

Yuki went out to see her father, to ask him for money. Katsuki and his 4 guards saw Yuki going on the road.

When she was walking alone, where very few people were there, the 5 surrounded her, "haha, Yuki, yesterday you escaped easily but today you will get bloomed by me," said Katsuki acting like he owns the world.

Yuki saw him weirdly with disgust thinking how a human could think that disgustingly. Then she got excited because she got a chance to pay him back.

Katsuki got confused by her expression and said, "This feels wrong, you should be scared by now right?"

"Young master," a guard noticed her power and warned, "I can feel cosmos energy from her, she feels strong too."

Katsuki got angry and shouted, "You idiots, even if she started cultivating she is still trash and rookie, why are you scared of a little girl? Go and catch her."

Yuki put her left fingers joints to left side chin and bent her head toward the left to crack her finger knuckles to act cool, she did the same to her right hand while saying, "I am just thinking about how I should test my new power and the sandbags came delivering themselves."

The 4 men got angry at Yuki's arrogance and dashed to catch her, she also dashed while smiling and punched a boy, then bent and jumped for uppercut another boy while moving forward.

As soon as she landed, she dashed with a single leg. She punched another boy in the stomach and tried to kick the last boy but he evaded it as her leg was short.

He caught her leg; she got excited as she tried to make a new move as shown in a few video clips that his friends used to watch in school.

She jumped with help of the leg on the ground. As her leg was caught she was high enough in the air due to the jump and kicked him on the head from the side.

*beeeeeeeeeep*

The boy released her leg in shock, as his right ear couldn't hear anything. He clapped near his ear. Blood started to drip from his ear tip, he touched that, saw the blood and widened his eyes in shock. Yuki took the chance to punch him in the stomach, which made him fall with pain.
