The Birth of an Oscar-Winning Actor / Kisaragi Tendo's Cheap Principles (Second Update)

When the log fell, the wooden sword was already formed, its size exactly the same as the one in Raiden Mei's scabbard, only slightly less weight.

"Kevin only started learning my boxing style on his first day..."

Tifa naturally wanted to defend her friend and tried to persuade her to change her mind and show mercy.

"Even sword and fist training requires mental discipline first. If you can't even accept this challenge, learning it will be a waste of your energy. I'll tell Mei go easy on you..."

Unexpectedly, Saeko Busujima was determined to have the two spar, and when she summoned Raiden Mei, she whispered to her, seemingly intending to tell her beloved student to be gentle.

However, his master's true words were...

"I don't like other people using the name Kevin, remember to beat them to a pulp!"

P. S.: I currently owe 26-2=24 chapters. I'll try my best to make up for it with four chapters tomorrow.

By the way, let's set a flag for Kevin and Mei: a love-hate relationship is the most interesting.

Chapter 466, Section 493: The Birth of an Oscar-Winning Actor

Should I really fight? But bullying the weak is not in line with my martial ethics... Raiden Mei loosened her grip on the hilt of her katana, secretly pondering how to hold back in the upcoming battle.

"Mei, be careful..."

However, Bronya whispered close to her ear from behind, and a rare tension appeared on the face of the seemingly emotionless mecha girl, with a hint of worry.

Worry? For me... or for him?

Raiden Mei, with her delicate mind, showed a hint of caution in her expression. Her eyes flickered, she paused slightly, and turned to Bronya with a smile, asking her question.

"If I fight him later, who do you think will win...?"

Bronya looked like she wanted to say something but hesitated, and finally shook her head slightly.

"Based on the current intelligence, Bronya can't make a judgment. Anyway, Mei- neechan, you have to be careful!"

"Okay, thank you, Bronya..."

Raiden Mei gently stroked the head of the Three-No Girl, smiling calmly with a reassuring ease, but her left hand, holding the katana, involuntarily tightened its grip.

She knew Bronya's character well; she rarely lied. Although the child hadn't explicitly stated who was stronger or weaker, the fact that she had simply reminded herself to be careful was enough to prove it.

Bronya doesn't think she'll win this match.

No wonder Master told me not to hold back; this kid is truly a master!

"Brother Kevin, please give me your guidance!"

With her mind at ease, Raiden Mei adjusted her breathing, stepped forward slowly, and bowed first, adopting an attitude of earnestly seeking instruction.

"Uh, can we not fight? If we fight, I'll get yelled at when I get home."

Kevin scratched his head, looking like he wanted to avoid it at all costs, but Raiden Mei on the other side maintained her elegance, smiling and shaking her head slightly.

"Sister Tifa?"

Left with no other option, the young boy turned to his beautiful master behind him for help, hoping she could offer some advice.

But with her friend Saeko Busujima's unwavering expression, Tifa could only smile wryly and let it go, treating it as a game between children.

However, the considerate older sister next door naturally wouldn't let Kevin fight empty-handed. She brought out an old storage box from the house and found a pair of small black boxing gloves inside.

"After I came of age and completed my apprenticeship, I had a suit made for Will according to the dimensions I remembered. He always clamored to learn martial arts to protect me when he was little..."

"Now, these boxing gloves are yours. Please cherish them..."

Tifa crouched down and gently slipped the two black boxing gloves onto Kevin's hands, her warm fingertips lingering on them with a hint of reluctance.

"I've turned off the energy Amplification Matrix on these boxing gloves for you. You don't need to win, just do your best..."

This thing, like its name, carries a longing and memory; it's too precious. Kevin wanted to take off the gloves, but Tifa gently held his hands and shook her head to stop him.

"Go ahead, but don't hurt yourself..."

Kevin glanced at the black boxing gloves that fit him perfectly, then stared at Tifa as she walked to her seat, his gaze seemingly mirroring his own fantasy about his sister.

It's true... the more you get involved, the deeper you sink...

The little boy shook his head slightly, then opened his eyes again, his aura sharpened, and following the combat etiquette taught by Tifa, he stood up and clasped his hands in a fist salute to Raiden Mei, who was a head taller than him.

Because of the age difference, Kevin naturally had the right to strike first, so the boy didn't hesitate, stepped forward, and punched the center line, a proper opening move.

Raiden Mei's wooden sword struck first, cutting in an arc and hitting Kevin's wrist.

The boy's fist rose, his waist slumped, striking the weakest point on the upper part of the wooden sword. The violent force immediately reverberated, causing the unsuspecting Raiden Mei to stagger backward.

What incredible strength! The girl's eyes grew even more serious, and she glanced at Kiana, who was cheering her on, out of the corner of her eye.

Is superhuman strength and white hair the standard combination?

However, I must win no matter what!

Raiden Mei exhaled a breath of stale air, her eyes sharp. After inserting the wooden sword into her waistband, she took a step forward, focused her mind, and assumed the stance for the Iaido).

As the Young Lady of ME Company, she was well aware of a practical problem: if she wanted to protect her father, she couldn't lose her own value!

Otherwise, neither the instructors at the St. Freya Academy nor the sword masters at the SCP Foundation could easily intervene, even if they wanted to side with the father.

After all, Cocolia, the leader who rose to power against all odds, has unclear relationships with both the SCP Foundation and St. Freya Academy.

The internal strife within [Anti-Entropy] is a family matter. With the situation becoming clear, outsiders not taking sides is already a tacit expression of sympathy for the father and daughter.

If someone knowingly enters a trap and continues to place bets, Raiden Mei believes that person is either a fool or has ulterior motives.

I said... Mei- senpai, it's just a friendly spar, does it have to be such a tragic life-or-death duel?

Kevin took a deep breath, feeling a bit of a headache. This would increase the difficulty of cooperating with the acting many times over, not to mention that there were two sharp-eyed experts watching from the sidelines.

With things having come to this point, complaining was useless, so the boy simply let loose, using his legs to attack the long axis and his fists to make up for the deficiencies. For a time, his offensive was like a storm, and although he was still young, he was full of momentum.

Kevin executed a series of moves that Tifa had demonstrated, such as knee strikes, Moonfall Kick, Musou attacks, and rising dragon punches, with remarkable skill.

The only pity is that this child attacks with all his might, holding nothing back, thus lacking flexibility.

Therefore, Raiden Mei, who appears to be swaying like duckweed in the storm, is actually like a drifting catkin in the wind, and it is difficult to damage her fundamentals.

She was waiting for the boy to use his punches, and then she would seize the opportunity to counterattack.

Finally, after swinging his fists and feet for more than ten minutes, the little boy was sweating profusely and panting heavily. During a sudden series of kicks, his toes lost their footing and his body became sluggish.

"Bang!"

Taking advantage of the opening, Raiden Mei struck Kevin in the abdomen with her wooden sword, causing the boy to clutch his stomach, where a bruise had appeared, and cry out in pain as he staggered back.

"Can we stop hitting her? Sister Tifa, it hurts..."

Seeing that Raiden Mei was about to launch another attack with her sword, Kevin immediately raised both hands and pitifully looked to Tifa behind him for help.

It turned out she was just a pampered child. Even with her extraordinary physical abilities, she still lacked discipline. Moreover, Mei's hands were trembling slightly; the impact she had directly experienced was no less than that of this little guy...

Perhaps... I'm overthinking it...

Saeko Busujima chuckled and nodded, then picked up a hot towel from the shelf and tossed it to her beloved student.

"I won with a punch, Mei won with a sword against Kevin. Are you satisfied now?"

After wiping the boy's cheeks, Tifa gently massaged his lower abdomen to relieve his pain, her expression slightly reproachful as she faced her competitive old friend.

"Alright, half a pound of Soul Steel and a Thor's Hammer series Tactical Exoskeleton are my gifts to you as an apology..."

Saeko Busujima was quite open-minded; she had been very sensitive to that prying gaze and had instinctively sensed danger.

Therefore, this sword master specially sent his disciple to test this strange little fellow, lest his old friend Tifa be deceived without even realizing it.

Of course, some things are enough to do without explanation.

Chapter 467, Section 494: Tendou Kisara's Cheap Integrity (Second Update)

After the guests had enjoyed themselves, Kevin memorized a bunch of dimensions and then, pulling CC, who was eating pizza in a corner, said goodbye to Tifa and the others.

Due to her busy schedule, Saeko Busujima exchanged a few brief pleasantries with her beloved student Raiden Mei, before returning to her old house to take care of some personal matters.

"Hooray! We're free! Without Auntie Himeko's control, we can do whatever we want!"

Kiana, the most carefree of them all, jumped for joy upon seeing Saeko Busujima leave, displaying an arrogant and domineering attitude, like a monkey becoming king in the absence of a tiger.

"Kiana, you dared to fail Fu Hua's Honkai history class? Get back to your studies right now! I'll personally quiz you tonight! No sleep until you pass!"

Raiden Mei struck the white- Paramecium on the back of the head with her sheathed katana, letting out a stern snort, which finally silenced Kiana. Several younger girls, seeing this, covered their mouths and chuckled.

This young lady from the ME Company looked back and noticed that Bronya, who seemed to have something on her mind, had fallen behind the group. So she slowed down and walked alongside her, speaking softly to her.

"What's wrong? Is there something you want to say, Bronya?"

"Mei..."

The Three-No Girl emotional attachments looked up at Mei beside her, and after some internal struggle, chose to tell her the truth.

"Bronya has to tell them to stay away from that guy from now on, he... is terrifying!"

"Don't be afraid. If he bullies you or does anything inappropriate, I'll teach that kid a lesson!"

"And Master is here too!"

After winning a game, Raiden Mei didn't pay much attention to Bronya's warning and confidently reassured the little girl.

However, Bronya broke free from Mei's caress, took out her phone from her pocket, opened two red and blue images of human bodies, and spoke in a somewhat anxious tone.

"Sister Mei, you've all been fooled by him!"

"His breathing is fake, his sweating is fake, even his failures are fake!"

"My phone is equipped with an infrared thermal imager, and I just captured the temperature changes of your body organs during your fight."

Even though he was sweating profusely, his body temperature was no different from that of a normal person.

"So, you practically gave it your all, while he didn't even try..."

Faced with the realistic data, Raiden Mei fell silent. After carefully recalling the details of the battle, she still couldn't find a trace of pretense in that White-haired Shota.

In short, he's a very shrewd and capable guy...

But the humiliation of being treated with deference made the strong-willed Raiden Mei uncomfortable, and she secretly memorized the boy's figure and name.

The next morning, under duress from Tendou Kisara, Kevin stuffed slices of pizza from the plate into his mouth, his resentment towards the Green Haired Witch growing imperceptibly.

Strangely enough, today Tendou Kisara was wearing his most expensive clothes and stood in front of the door early, looking around expectantly, as if waiting for something.

What are you doing, sneaking around like that?

Taking advantage of his momentary lapse in attention, Kevin swiftly tossed the remaining half of the pizza into the Void Rift, destroying all evidence. He then casually approached and inquired.

"Just wait for that big deal I closed yesterday! Once we do that, we won't have to worry about rent, utilities, or salaries this month! You guys better be on your toes!"

The thought of the generous offer made Tendou Kisara's eyes light up, and he glared menacingly at the employees behind him.

As the girl with long, straight black hair and a purple polka-dot bow stepped into the Tendou Civil Security Company, Kevin glanced at this aloof beauty and couldn't help but be somewhat surprised.

"It's you?"

"It's you!"

Raiden Mei stared at the White-haired Shota who was secretly taking milk from the refrigerator, her face showing utter astonishment.

"You know each other? That's even better! Let me introduce you, this is our client, Miss Mei of ME Company..."

"Over these three days, Miss Mei plans to use the supplies donated by ME Company from all over the country to visit and help the Cursed Children outside the monolith..."

"During this period, Tendou Civil Security Company will be responsible for the safety of Miss Mei and her friends..."

Tendou Kisara bypassed Kevin and enthusiastically introduced Raiden Mei to the professional staff around her.

"Rentaro Satomi is proficient in the secret fighting techniques of the Tendo Family, and half of his body has been mechanized, making him incredibly tough, whether it's taking a beating or blocking a bullet!"

"His partner, Enju Aihara, although Cursed Children, has already controlled the infection, is familiar with the Stone Tablet area, and is quite reliable."

Raiden Mei nodded slightly, a polite greeting between them.

Thank you for your trouble...

Tendou Kisara waved his hand and winked at the maid CC several times before the Green Haired Witch, who was happily counting Pizza Hut stamps, reluctantly brought over two cups of tea, demonstrating the Tendo Company's improved image.
