Chapter 11: Though My Teachings Are Unacknowledged, My Conscience Is Clear
"Oh? Is that so? Then you're mentally prepared now, aren't you? You won't be careless again, will you? Come on then." Fu Yuan once again assumed his starting stance and beckoned to Matou Zouken.
Again?
Fu Yuan had annihilated tens of thousands of Matou Zouken's Magic Crest Worms. How was he supposed to fight Fu Yuan now??
Besides, Matou Zouken wasn't unaware that Fu Yuan had summoned the terrifying 'Lightning Magecraft' with a single strike, obliterating so many of his Magic Crest Worms with thunderous force.
In Matou Zouken's eyes, this somewhat mysterious young man, Fu Yuan, had now transformed into a powerful, monstrous, almost inhuman being.
Therefore, Matou Zouken, who only wished to survive, naturally couldn't continue fighting Fu Yuan.
With a grim expression, Matou Zouken changed the subject, pointing at Matou Sakura, whom Fu Yuan was holding. "You intend to take her away, don't you?"
"That's right. I won't leave such a cute child by the side of an old worm with ill intentions like you," Fu Yuan said without hesitation.
"Heh heh, you dare to take someone from my Matou family without permission. I assume you've already prepared yourself to be hunted and pursued by the Mage's Association." Matou Zouken sneered.
The Tohma Family and the Matou family were both connected to the world's power organization, the 'Mage's Association.' They would provide their inherited magecraft to the Mage's Association, thereby receiving financial aid and protection from them.
And the magical families that established relationships with the Mage's Association would receive its protection.
Regardless of Fu Yuan's reasons for taking Matou Sakura, he would be considered the party "infringing upon the Matou family's interests."
Matou Zouken threatened, "Matou Sakura is legally adopted into my Matou family by the Tohma family. If you take her away without permission, you will definitely be hunted by the Mage's Association!"
Matou Zouken was helpless against the powerful and mysterious Fu Yuan. All he had now was to borrow the might of the Mage's Association like a fox borrowing the tiger's prestige, to intimidate Fu Yuan and make him give up the idea of taking Matou Sakura.
"Although my teachings are unacknowledged, however..." Fu Yuan's eyes flashed with lightning as he stared sternly at Matou Zouken. Holding Matou Sakura with one arm, he swung his other arm.
Swift Feather Transformation: Weeping Willow!
Lightning shot out from the arm Fu Yuan swung. The lightning transformed into an orange energy blade in the air, and then, under Matou Zouken's astonished gaze, the lightning energy blade split him in two.
Watching Matou Zouken split in two by the lightning energy blade, Fu Yuan slowly retracted his swung arm.
"I have a clear conscience."
That's right. Although Fu Yuan, who had saved Matou Sakura, had unacknowledged teachings, he had a clear conscience.
Even if Fu Yuan was eventually hunted by the Mage's Association, what did it matter? He would not regret the decision he made today.
After being 'killed' by Fu Yuan once more, the split Matou Zouken exploded, and the surviving familiar worms scattered and fled.
Unable to fight, and his threats useless, the frustrated and enraged Matou Zouken could only... choose his escape route.
After 'scattering' Matou Zouken, Fu Yuan sensed his surroundings. Finding that all the familiar worms had fled, he left the Matou residence with Matou Sakura.
Then, a soft and weak voice came from Fu Yuan's embrace.
"Thank you... Brother Fu Yuan."
Fu Yuan lowered his head in surprise, looking at Matou Sakura, who had spoken. "Little Sakura, when did you wake up?"
"Just now."
Fu Yuan had actually used a trace of True Qi earlier to make Matou Sakura, who was overcome with fear and timidity, fall asleep. According to his estimation, Matou Sakura should have slept for at least half an hour. He hadn't expected her to wake up so quickly.
There were two reasons for this.
First, Matou Sakura was scared.
Second, the Mage Circuits within Matou Sakura.
The emotion of fear had caused the Mage Circuits within Matou Sakura to activate, counteracting Fu Yuan's True Qi. Therefore, with both factors combined, she had woken up quickly.
Matou Sakura, having woken up, had heard all the conversation between Fu Yuan and Matou Zouken. That was why she sincerely thanked Fu Yuan.
"Thank you, Brother Fu Yuan. If it weren't for you, I... I don't know what would have happened to me now." Matou Sakura said in a low voice, trembling slightly as she seemed to recall the disgusting scene in the Magecraft Workshop earlier.
"Oh, since you called me 'Brother,' aren't you my sister? Isn't it normal for a brother to protect his sister? So, Little Sakura, you don't need to thank me." Fu Yuan said with a smile, stroking Matou Sakura's soft black hair.
"Mmm..." Matou Sakura, nestled in Fu Yuan's arms, clutched his clothes tightly. After a long silence, she asked softly, "Brother Fu Yuan, what will happen to me in the future? Will I be taken back to the Matou family?"
"Don't worry, Little Sakura. I won't let you go back to the Matou family. We'll go find your father and have him retract his decision to have you adopted by the Matou family," Fu Yuan said gently.
"..." Matou Sakura remained silent, shaking her little head. "Father won't retract that decision. He's already reached an agreement with that old man from just now."
"Don't be disappointed so quickly, Little Sakura. If your father still doesn't change his decision to adopt you after learning about Matou Zouken's persecution of you, then I'll beat him up for you," Fu Yuan said.
Moreover, Fu Yuan's phone had recorded his confrontation with Matou Zouken just now. If Tohsaka Tokiomi watched the recording and remained stubbornly deluded, then he had no choice but to apologize!
... If Tohsaka Tokiomi remained deluded, Fu Yuan would resort to physical persuasion to make him wake up from his stubbornness.
Fu Yuan's Inch Force: Heaven Splitter. Tohsaka Tokiomi should wake up, right?
Whether Tohsaka Tokiomi would wake up after taking Fu Yuan's Inch Force: Heaven Splitter, Fu Yuan was uncertain.
But Fu Yuan was very sure that with Tohsaka Tokiomi's weak mage's physique, he would definitely be pierced through the chest with one punch.
Bathed in the charming sunlight, Fu Yuan, holding Matou Sakura, returned to the entrance of the Tohsaka residence. As if challenging them, he directly kicked the protective fence gate of the Tohsaka courtyard.
BOOM!
A slightly heavy collision sound echoed. The protective fence gate of the Tohsaka residence swung open, and Fu Yuan stepped into the Tohsaka residence with Matou Sakura.
Matou Sakura, hugging Fu Yuan's neck, glanced back at the iron fence gate. A clear footprint was left on the steel fence, and the fence, made of steel, was already twisted.
With a casual kick, he twisted the steel guardrail into a mess… truly terrifying strength that made one's jaw drop.
Chapter 12 Tohsaka Tokiomi: I was so angry then that I… backed down.
The sound of the guardrail being kicked open startled Tohsaka Tokiomi, who was in the second-floor living room of his home. He stood up in surprise and looked outside through the window.
Fu Yuan and Matou Sakura appeared in Tohsaka Tokiomi's eyes without any reservation.
"It's Little Sakura! Why is she back?" Tohsaka Tokiomi frowned, then he hurried out of the room and headed towards the front door on the first floor.
Boom!
The red wood front door of the Tohma Family residence followed the guardrail's fate, kicked open by Fu Yuan. Tohsaka Tokiomi, who had just come down to the first floor, saw this and his face immediately darkened.
