Chapter 84: Sisters

Words: 2,189

...

"What's happening? Where are we?"

 Kenichi exclaimed in fear, looking around for something familiar.

"An island near Japan... not too big." 

I said it casually while standing there being cooled by the ocean breeze.

"This is beyond martial arts..." 

Kensei whistled and didn't look beaten despite me holding back significantly. 

Hayato continued to furrow his brow, uncertainly looking at his own fist.

"I'm just arranging battles between masters like yourselves... well, the neighborhood won't handle it for sure. We won't bother anyone here, and I can easily knock out your fighting spirit so we can calmly discuss the training of my friends."

 I explained.

"Who are you?" 

Akisame whispered quietly. They all didn't look as relaxed now that they realized I was capable of a lot.

"I suppose I'm a Demigod or something like that."

 I shrugged. 

After all, I'm not really human, but not yet a full-fledged god either even though I can fight with some of them.

"Very amusing..." 

Shio Sakaki snorted, but he froze when seeing my gaze.

"You're serious?"

"Let's cut to the chase, show me what you've got... and don't worry if you die, I'll resurrect you." 

I smirked boldly and released my ki freely this time. 

Then all the masters fell to their knees even Hayato but he held out for a moment longer. 

The only ones I didn't affect were Miu and Kenichi, who were already standing aside. 

They could have died from this.

"Argh, apa!"

Apachai exclaimed when the pressure subsided. 

He lunged at me, his speed exceeding a hundred kilometers per hour at the start, and he continued to accelerate. 

The other masters saw that I was serious too and decided to attack together.

Hayato even hit the ground with his fist and ran at me with a smile on his face.

...

Hayato who had never lost a fight in his life felt like time slowed down as he couldn't keep up with my movements. 

It was... refreshing.

After Anthony hit him, Kensei flew off and hit Shigure right in the face, and he seemed to be enjoying it from the look on his face.

However, a stone pillar grows from the ground that he flew off... 

In a moment, Apachai is flying backward, breaking trees and crashing into a rock, leaving cracks on it.

Akisame was a master of all kinds of Jiu-Jitsu and a tough opponent for anyone at his level.

They made him play his own game, sending him flying with a couple of broken ribs.

Shio tried to attack from behind and managed to grab Anthony and squeeze him, but it led to nothing, and Hayato was more than sure that he let him do it.

"Now it's just you." 

Anthony smirked and threw Shio's body about ten meters away.

Hayato was exuding ki from his entire being with every step of the shattered rocks that came his way.

He already understood that he was facing someone much stronger than them combined, but his pride wouldn't forgive him if he didn't go all out. 

It was directed at Anthony's stomach, and it was strong enough to destroy a whole building, but Anthony calmly blocked it with one hand to stop any released energy.

However, Hayato anticipated such a move being considered the Legendary Master for a reason.

"I did say that I'm also a kind of martial arts master..." 

Hayato whispered with pursed lips. 

One-thousandth of a second seemed like a very long time to Hayato, and right now, his foot should have been on Anthony's waist.

However, Anthony also used his legs to block the blow, initiating a very quick exchange of blows between them.

The masters who had come to their senses knew they would only be a distraction in this kind of battle because they couldn't keep up with the battle.

At this time, the wind rose in the area with shockwaves literally uprooting several trees, and they all continued.

At first glance, it might have looked like a draw, but Hayato knew it wasn't.

Anthony moved at exactly the same speed and struck just like him to block all attacks.

"Aaah!" 

Hayato roared with veins bulging on his body, ki lashing out in all directions.

He began to use one hundred and eight of his strongest techniques. 

Their speed had long exceeded the speed of sound, and the island had quite a commotion.

...

[Anythony's POV]

"Not bad for an old man." 

I admitted. 

He was going all out in this fight, and the battle's "echo" was making a big rock fall apart under our feet.

He was considered the strongest for nothing.

"Masters of your level can fight for weeks while maintaining a perfect state, so I'll end it if you allow me."

I said it without mockery. 

Hayato achieved this level of strength through years of training.

I am a cheater, but I don't like admitting it. 

In fact, I trained with gods, got hit in the face a lot, broke bones, and lost limbs, so it's kind of like I lived through many fights with Albedo and Bang, but it's still not the same.

The next second, I slightly sped up and punched Hayato in the chest.

He tried his best but couldn't react to my speed. 

He shot up like a bullet from a cannon while my blow went from the bottom to the top. 

A small part of this island was destroyed in the battle, but nothing very serious.

I teleported Hayato's body to the others and saw that he was still unconscious, and even his enormous amount of ki couldn't help him.

"Grandpa lost?" 

Miu approached while dragging a frightened Kenichi along. 

"It seems we all lost..." 

Kenichi Ma's voice sounded from where he was bound. 

"I hope you've had enough of this, or next time I'll turn you into women, and you... I'll punish differently." 

I said this while looking at the only girl who gulped at my words. 

Then, I healed all their wounds with magic. 

After that, Hayato quickly came to his senses and stood up. 

"I... lost?" 

Hayato asked somewhat uncertainly. 

"Yes. You're strong, but right now, we're in different leagues, forgive me." 

I replied. 

"My wounds disappeared." 

Shio said this while checking his body with his hands. 

"I healed you. Let's return." 

I teleported everyone back to the dojo and immediately began restoring all the damage with alchemy while the master watched. 

"Did your desire to fight subside?" 

"It's become stronger than ever." 

Hayato was the first to speak. 

"I suspected this outcome." 

I nodded to his words. 

"Shall we proceed with the plan to train my acquaintances?"

The plan was quite simple and I would create a portal between the dojo and Erin's mansion so that the girls could move between them quickly. 

I hadn't asked them yet but suspected they wouldn't refuse. 

...

I was right. 

"That would be very useful... I've been training my magic more than my body." 

Rias said this after my explanation while lying on the couch. 

She decided to get rid of her laziness as much as possible and train to become stronger. 

"I still haven't found any magic here, or it's just too unfamiliar for me."

 "It will allow me to better fulfill my duties." 

Winter said while slightly pondering. 

She couldn't pass up the chance to get stronger because it was a new chance.

"And... do I really need this?" 

Hermione asked uncertainly. 

"I'm a witch..." 

"In your world, all wizards and witches are physically weak. You can already beat almost anyone with your aura as long as you don't let your guard down."

I told her. 

"Hmm." 

Hermione still didn't seem very interested. 

"He's right. A healthy soul resides in a healthy body. The stronger you are physically, the better." 

Winter expressed her opinion. 

"Even with your aura, you're weak because you don't know how to fight." 

Shinoa bluntly stated.

"Administrator-kun is offering you a chance to become stronger, and you're refusing?" 

Shinoa knew where to apply pressure.

"No! I'm not refusing; I'm just trying to understand how this will help me. After all, I'm a witch. Alright, you're right... It's also useful to be physically strong." 

Hermione agreed.

"Furinji-sensei told me about his friends at the dojo, so I'm sure they'll be able to train as well." 

Erin spoke up. 

She didn't mind because the portal would be in a room in the house.

We decided to have the first training session the next day. 

Today, I asked Erin to help me cook while we had time. She led me to her kitchen, which was very much in her style.

"First, I need to see your level. Don't use magic or anything else, do everything with your own hands and use these ingredients." 

Erina instructed me, and I nodded and decided to cook spaghetti. It didn't take much time, and soon Erin tried my dish.

"Hmm." 

Erin sighed. 

"Mediocre."

It's possible that she wanted to say something harsher but held back. 

"You overcooked the pasta, and the sauce-to-pasta balance and too much butter are off."

"Well, I didn't think it would be that bad." 

I commented.

"Don't worry, you said that in your world, they don't pay much attention to food like this, so it might be an acceptable level for you, but here... I'll show you how it's done." 

Erina said confidently, looking me in the eye, and began cooking the same dish herself. 

She did everything with visible ease, even elegance as if floating above the stove and the kitchen. 

In the end... it was just heaven and earth compared to our dishes.

"This... is perfect. You're the best, Erin." 

I admitted it with visible pleasure and ate the whole portion.

"Hmm, I should hope so. But since I've taken on your training, you must show progress soon." 

Erina replied with a smile without any arrogance or disdain.

"Oh wow, did the great Erin Nakiri genuinely smile and decide to teach someone?"

The voice of a young girl nearby sounded. 

"You don't look like one of Erin's lackeys..." 

The voice was temptingly curious, and her face showed interest in me. 

Alice Nakiri's eyes had a red hue, and her hair resembled Winter's, meaning it was snow-white.

"What are you doing here?" 

Erin exclaimed while pointing at her.

"I heard you made friends with new faces, so I couldn't resist..." 

Alice's red eyes glanced at me, and she grinned mischievously. 

"Are you busy with romantic affairs here?"

"D-Don't talk nonsense! What are you even doing here? Go play with your molecular kitchen! After all, that's all you do, and you still have hopes for your victory, hmm."

"What?" 

Alice immediately lost all her seriousness and pouted while pointing her finger at Erin. 

"You're always like this! When we were three, you stole my toy! Do you remember what you said when we were four years old after trying the cake I had baked specifically for you?"

 She puffed up even more. 

"Disgusting! I remember that, and..."

"What's the point of all this?"

Erina shouted, already losing her composure.

"S-Stop talking nonsense." 

Erina tried to stop Alice from reminiscing about the past.

"Girls, you're sisters." 

I said this while covering my face with my palm. 

There was still a guy with an indifferent expression on his face standing at the entrance to the room.

"I've told her similar things many times..." 

Ryo said it somewhat calmly.

"Ryo-kun, don't say that!" 

Alice said commandingly and slapped Ryō on the shoulder, still clearly in a "puffed-up" state. 

"You're supposed to support me!"

"Oh, noted." 

Ryo said it in the same tone.

"She's just making a fuss about nothing." 

Erin snorted. 

"We're busy here, by the way." 

Erin informed them.

"Oh, cooking? Let me try..." 

Alice took out cutlery from somewhere and took a little of my dish.

 "Hmm... this..."

"It's not very good, I understand. I'm not a cook, and I'm not going to learn because my strengths lie in another aspect." 

I said, and Alice with a complex face still finished chewing. 

"By the way, I'm Anthony Luthor. You can just call me Tony."

"Alice Nakiri." 

Alice immediately smiled, and I heard an irritated "pfft" behind my back. 

"If you're not a chef, then what are you doing here?" 

Alice asked, without any negativity.

"I'm Erin's friend." 

I stepped back and held her shoulder who froze like a deer in the headlights. 

"I came to see her and the others... We have, you could say, a group with interests other than cooking."

"O-oh." 

Alice opened her mouth in surprise. 

"In that case, let's go to the pool together! Tell us how you met? I've seen the others in your group. It'll be fun!" 

Alice jumped a little, and her ample forms also bounced behind her.

"I'm not against relaxing. What do you say, Erin?" 

I glanced at the still-frozen Erina in my arms.

"I-I'm n-not against it." 

Erina stuttered. 

I had to let her go, but Erina wasn't quite ready for such close contact. 

As far as I know, she wasn't interested in the opposite sex for a long time in the original.
