Ch 14: The Heart

"You still cannot see what lies beyond your eyes"

"Sh-t, then THEN TELL ME HOW TO IT! Why do you think I am paying you?"

"I can't do anything if you don't get such a simple thing yet"

He has had many classes after that day but he still didn't get Toji's words and this guy beats him up and ends the class mysteriously.

Does he think he looks cool?

No, he looks like a fraud who eats money.

Toji didn't leave but sat down.

"Get the food"

"This freeloader…"

He gritted his teeth and took out Quick Silver unwillingly.

If he didn't do it, this guy would definitely beat him.

He opened the door and went out.

He was too tired to move, so he just let Quick Silver let the servants know that they had to deliver the food.

Then he went in again and closed the door.

After all, he didn't want many people to discover his means, only four people knew about his ability to own a different world, including himself.

Though he isn't confident about Toji keeping it just to himself.

He came back and sat opposite Toji.

"Leaving my eyes aside, do you think that I rely too much on cursed tools?"

"Huh? What do mean, they are cursed tools they are meant to be used, even if you get too strong, a good Cursed Tool will just make you stronger"

"But… I can only use the cursed tools to go against you?"

In all the fights against Toji, he has just been taking beatings, that too, because of the Cursed Tools.

Just use whatever is in your hands to block Toji and then use Quick Silver to make distance.

I don't even remember how many Grade 2 swords this guy broke.

He recently took out two Grade 1 katanas from the armoury and even they have shown cracks.

"Yeah? A curse tool can never be a deciding factor in the battle unless they have special abilities like my Inverted Spear of Heaven or your Quick Silver, it's always about your own strength and…

Isn't that what I am supposed to teach you? Although your use of Cursed Energy to cover and protect yourself has increased significantly, that's just an extra benefit… Dont forget I came here to teach you how to use your weapons"

Tenshi nodded but this didn't help him improve his mood.

Seeing this guy like this, Toji threw a stone at him.

"Bwah"

The stone hit him in the stomach, he felt like throwing up but he hadn't eaten anything for a long time.

"I don't understand how you think kid… you are just six years old, although your physique is much better than even geniuses of the same age, you will die from a punch from me if you are reluctant to lose your tools then better hire me after ten or twelve years, also using cursed tools too requires skills, give me your Quick Silver, I will teach you"

Tenshi looked at Toji and held Quick Silver tightly.

Toji narrowed his eyes and stretched his hand out.

"You act like I would steal it, don't you know me by now"

'I know you very well'

Although he was reluctant to give it to this guy, afraid that he would just steal it, looking at Toji's hand, he still gave it.

At most, he just won't open the door.

"Go and get the food, they must have kept it out by now"

"I will go later"

"Go and get it"

Quick Silver was already hovering around Toji.

"We can eat later, I am too tired now!"

"Are you going out or should I…"

Toji caressed Quick Silver as if it were his long worm and stared at him.

He sometimes seriously regretted hiring him… How good would have been to just jump around in his own world with Mei Mei?

What's better is she is a money freak too, she surely wouldn't refuse him.

"I will go get it"

He sighed and jumped out quickly afraid Toji would follow.

However it would be meaningless if he wanted to follow, he could just kick him and come out.

He picked up the plates and put them in front of Toji.

He was relieved when he saw Toji wasn't planning to steal his Quick Silver.

While eating, Toji was telling him his training schedule for next week.

Toji won't come because he has to go to a race.

He was sure that Toji would lose the money he paid to him.

But what does this have to do with him, he picked up a chicken leg and continued eating.

"Oi Kid"

Suddenly, Toji called him.

"What happened!"

He was very annoyed, he didn't like how this guy just keeps ordering him around.

"Can you see the plate there?"

"Hmm…Huh!!"

'When did that plate go there?'

He saw a plate far away in the sky.

He now always keeps his eye open, but he didn't see Toji throw anything.

"Now see this"

He saw the arrow in Toji's hand and heard a cracking sound but he didn't turn to the plate.

He kept his eyes on the arrow and only saw the arrow's afterimages but before they disappeared, the arrow came back.

"How?"

He asked Toji in astonishment, even the family records didn't mention a speed like this, he didn't even see it disappear.

"Hehe, because you are using your mind to control this, you need to use your heart"

He tried to understand what Toji was saying but it felt like fraud…again.

"Soul, heart, instead of killing sorcerer why don't you write romance books, you may also get a few girls"

"I have more girls than you kid, as for novels, that would be too tiring"

"What do you mean more than me, I know you are married and you…"

Seeing him like this, Toji smiled

"Yes, I have one and you… of course, you are a kid"

Toji got up and patted him on the shoulders.

"Don't worry you will have one someday… maybe?"

"Maybe… I will surely have a harem"

"Haha… get married first then dream about it"

"You…muscle man"

"Here, take this back"

Toji flicked Quick Silver.

He also opened the door for Toji to walk out.

"To see your heart, you must first clear your mind first"

Toji said before leaving.

"Clear my mind..."

Tenshi sat alone…thinking.
