Chapter 9 - Chapter 9 I will never forget

"Nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-seven… nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-eight… nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine…"

In an abandoned temple, Tianluo was sweating profusely while practicing swordplay in the courtyard. Not far away, Himejima Akeno was preparing food for the two of them, while several little ghosts were flying around in the air to help Akeno.

Devil's High School is a high-dimensional fantasy world with various legendary races and various magical powers.

Demons use magic power to gather wind, rain, thunder and lightning, angels use the power of light to purify all WuHui evil, there is even the power of the gods that only the original protagonist Hyoudou Kazuki can use. In short, there are all kinds of things.

As a demon-human hybrid, Tianluo is able to practice both magic and spiritual power.

Magic power comes from spirit and imagination. The stronger the spirit, the easier it is for the demon to obtain magic power, and the spirit is the manifestation of the soul. Perhaps because the soul does not belong to this world, Tianluo has no talent for practicing magic, and the magic power he can gather is pitiful, so he gave up the practice of magic power a long time ago and chose spiritual energy instead.

Reiki, also known as spiritual power, internal energy, and chakra, is an ancient and fundamental force that flows between life and heaven and earth. If magic comes from the spirit, then reiki comes more from the whole body. It is a mysterious and unknown force hidden in all animals, plants, and human bodies.

Tianluo has been practicing for almost 5 years since his mother passed away, but the spiritual energy gathered in his body is only mediocre.

This is not to say that Tianluo has no talent in cultivating spiritual energy. On the contrary, his talent in this area is quite good. However, spiritual energy is different from magic power. As long as you have a strong spirit, you can quickly accumulate magic power, but spiritual energy can only be dug out from the body step by step and absorbed from the heaven and earth.

It might be a little slow at first, and not as good as a magic user, but the speed will gradually increase as the spiritual energy increases and the user becomes stronger. When they really grow up, they will not be worse than magic users, and they can even use some special abilities…

"Tianluo, it's time to eat."

Zhu Nai came to Tian Luo's side at some point and looked at him with a smile.

Nearly half a year has passed since the two met. The girl has grown a lot physically compared to then, and her face is no longer as blank and empty as it used to be. Instead, there is a smile on her face that should belong to a girl of this age.

"Okay, wait a minute."

Tian Luo replied after stopping practicing.

Putting down the sword and wiping his forehead, Tian Luo mobilized a trace of spiritual energy to evaporate the sweat from his body, saving the trouble of rinsing.

"I'm starting!"

Looking at the sumptuous meal on the table, Tianluo and Zhu Nai clapped their hands, and the little ghosts cheered and started to enjoy the meal.

"Akeno, your cooking skills have improved again."

While tasting the girl's food, Tianluo couldn't help but praise it.

"Of course, this is what my mother taught me personally, and as a girl, I don't want to lose to Tianluo in these aspects."

There was a hint of pride in the girl's eyes as she looked towards Tian Luo.

Although Tianluo is also good at cooking, since the two of them became partners, these things have been done by Akeno.

Seeing Tianluo's happy expression while tasting her food, the girl also felt happy.

She used to wander alone, starving because of lack of food, and being hunted because her bloodline of fallen angels was discovered. Although it was very painful, she could endure it all. The only thing that scared her was the loneliness of being alone, as if she was abandoned by the whole world. She woke up alone in the middle of the night countless times.

But since Tianluo appeared, a ray of light finally appeared in her dark and desperate world.

The two of them wandered together, explored together, and fought evil spirits and monsters together. Their lives were obviously no different from before, but they were fulfilling, warm, and secure, as if the whole world had become different…

Looking at the smile that appeared involuntarily on the girl's face, Tianluo said:

"Akeno, you've changed."

After coming back to his senses, Akeno's face turned slightly red, but his smile became even more charming, making people feel warm from the bottom of their hearts:

"Because, I met Tianluo…"

At night, Tianluo and Akeno lay in the makeshift nest, snuggling together.

After traveling together, the two initially slept separately, but after Zhu Nai blushed and snuggled into Tian Luo's arms one night, the two of them tacitly kept sleeping like this.

"The scars have long disappeared, don't worry about them."

The girl leaning in his arms habitually stroked Tianluo's neck, and Tianluo couldn't help but say helplessly.

"In my heart, it will always exist. It is proof that Tianluo saved me and proof that I met Tianluo."

The gentleness of the action was about to be released, Akeno said infatuatedly.

Although the girl's eyes were gentle and sincere, Tian Luo smiled bitterly in his heart.

It was true that he had saved her, but he did not descend from the sky like the prince charming in the legend, wielding the holy sword and killing everyone, protecting the beautiful princess from the enemy. Instead, he put the sword on his own neck and blocked the enemy's steps in that extremely stupid way…

"Hey, Tianluo, how about we just stay here from now on? Aunt Haruno in the town said she can take us in. If we don't want to live in her house, she can also ask the adults in the village to help us build a house."

As if she had thought of something, Akeno suddenly suggested, and her already slightly charming face flushed slightly.

After a slight pause, Tianluo shook his head:

"I'm sorry, Akeno, I'm still too weak right now. I can't stop moving forward."

"Why is Tianluo so obsessed with power? Tianluo is already very powerful, obviously…"

Being rejected by Tianluo, the girl's face turned pale instantly, but she was more excited and confused.

I don't understand why Tianluo is so persistent. Even if he gets a powerful power, what does it matter? That kind of thing will only hurt others and himself. She can't understand it at all…

Seeing Akeno's excited and puzzled look, Tianluo gently stroked the girl's forehead and said:

"Because without power, you can gain nothing and you can protect nothing."

"I want to protect the people I cherish, and I also want to protect Akeno, so ah, I need a strong power!"

After hearing Tianluo's answer, Zhu Nai was stunned and couldn't come back to his senses. It was a long time before he covered his lips with his hands, and tears rolled down one by one.

"I'm sorry, Tianluo, I…I…"

Feeling self-blaming and guilty, the girl was already crying uncontrollably.

The two of them have many similarities. Half of them are human, and the other half are demons and fallen angels. Moreover, their mothers died early.

But there is one difference. Tianluo did not inherit his father's ability, nor could he awaken the power of the devil, but he perfectly inherited the abilities of his father and mother. As long as he wanted, he would soon be able to master this ability and gather powerful strength.

However, because she hated this power, she was unable to accept it!

"Akeno, I want to pursue great power. This is my choice, but you are different."

"Don't blame yourself or feel guilty, just live your life according to your own wishes."

Tianluo rubbed the girl's forehead gently to comfort her.

Gradually calming down, the girl wiped the tears from her face and raised her head.

"Tianluo is too cunning to say such things to others."

Seeing the smile reappearing on the girl's face, Tian Luo couldn't help scratching his head. Saying such words at this time, perhaps he was really cunning.

"We have stayed here for quite some time. Let's continue our journey tomorrow."

"Well, no matter where I go, I will follow Tianluo."

"However, before we leave, we still want to thank Aunt Haruno for taking care of us a lot these days."

"good."
