Just as Tsuna and Ichigo stopped fighting, four people, or rather two couples, came crashing down from the underground space: the Kurosaki couple and the Ishida couple.

Uryū only called him "Dad," which involved the Quincy's secrets. As expected, Ishida Ryuuken notified Masa and Hae, and Isshin, being a Isshin husband, naturally followed suit to watch the show.

"You Koume rascal, Yulong! You didn't even tell me about something as important as the Saint Letters. Don't you even care about your Aunt Masa?"

Upon meeting, the more lively and outgoing Masa immediately became the center of attention. She first gave Uryū a small scolding, then stroked her chin and looked at Ichigo's new form.

"As expected of my son, he looks just like one of us Quincy!"

Masa was quite satisfied with Ichigo's Quincy attire. As Quincy herself, she was somewhat dissatisfied with Ichigo's frequent use of his Bleach form, and she also wanted to see her son inherit her power.

"Huh? Little Tsuna, is your Quincy power really that simple?" Masa noticed that Tsuna was only holding a sword and kindly suggested, "Why don't you ask A Long's family to get you a couple of white uniforms? That would make you look more like Quincy."

Knowing that Masa Tsuna no harm, Tsuna smiled and declined, "No need, Aunt Masa, I'm used to wearing these casual clothes."

Tsuna doesn't have any particular requirements for battle attire. Quincy uniforms don't increase defense like Shinigami Uniform, Shinigami Uniform aren't as effective as the Blut Vene, so Tsuna decides there's no point in changing clothes.

"Sawada Tsunayoshi, is that Soul Cutter in your hand?" Ishida Ryuuken asked, wearing his glasses. Although the Forest Blade and the Soul Cutter were quite different, he still noticed some similarities.

"Yes, Uncle Ryūken, it's the very same Soul Cutter you gave me back then," Tsuna said, holding up the Forest Blade.

"It contains immense power; it looks perfect for making a scalpel!" Ryūken Glasses said, a glint of light flashing within it.

"Alright, let's get down to business." Kurosaki Isshin stepped forward, put his arm around Ichigo's shoulder, and said, "Ichigo, I heard you can help your Uncle Ryūken awaken the Saint Letters. How do you do that?"

Ichigo scratched his head and stammered, "It's just that Uncle Ryūken lets me shoot an arrow."

Because Ichigo was so impressed by Ishida Ryuuken's serious demeanor, he realized how much Ichigo big before, but when he actually faced Ryūken, he was completely genuine.

Unlike Isshin, Isshin didn't Ichigo readily. He rubbed his hands together somewhat awkwardly and asked, "Um, Ichigo, could you take this arrow for me?"

With a dark expression on his face Ishida Ryuuken grabbed Isshin by the back of the Isshin and shoved him against the wall. He knew exactly what Isshin was up to – he just wanted to use his position to get revenge on Masa for leaving the Ishida Residence.

Those things weren't things Ryūken wanted to do. The previous generation who had such ideas became Silver Blood Clot donors long ago after the Auswählen. Now that both families are happy Isshin, this guy still wants to play some little tricks. A hint of murderous intent appeared in Ryūken's eyes.

Sensing his friend's murderous intent, Isshin immediately hid behind Masa, not daring to show his face. Ishida Ryuuken was no joke; if he wanted to beat him up, he really would.

"Alright, honey, you've never practiced archery before, so let Ichigo handle the awakening of the Saint Letters." Masa soothed Isshin like a pet.

This is the Kurosaki couple, who can show off their affection anytime, anywhere, completely disregarding the lives of those around them.

"Dad, Mom, why did you come together? Where are our two sisters?" Ichigo scolded the forgetful couple.

"Oh dear, I've already prepared the meal, and Yuzu can cook too, so there's nothing to worry about," Masa said, patting her chest. She was very responsible as a mother.

"Ichigo Kurosaki, do you still have the strength left?"

Ishida Ryuuken was about to steer the conversation back to business. Everyone here knew each other very well, and with Masa, the social butterfly of the family, around, if he didn't stop them, they might chat until dark.

"Sure, Ryūken- san, carry me." Ichigo patted his chest and promised, mimicking Masa.

Upon hearing this, Tsuna pulled Tatsuki to the wall. Ichigo looked as if everything was going perfectly, Tsuna was afraid he wouldn't be able to resist scolding Ichigo. This guy Ichigo hadn't even considered the consequences of failing to awaken.

After listening to Ichigo's explanation, Ryūken realized the same problem as Tsuna: Ryūken felt that taking certain risks in order to gain greater power was acceptable.

Not only did he accept it, but after discussing the archery position with Ichigo, Ryūken even voluntarily unbuttoned a few buttons on his shirt collar. His shirt was quite expensive, and he wanted to save money where possible.

The familiar "Tensa Zangetsu" arrow was once again nocked onto the swastika Spirit Bow. Having awakened the Saint Letters for Tsuna, Ichigo's experience had improved, and at least this arrow wouldn't push the Ryūken against the wall again.

With an arrow striking Ryūken, the Chains of "Tensa Zangetsu" formed a large cocoon around Ryūken. After doing what he could, Ichigo withdrew his Quincy powers and went to chat with Masa and the others.

"Hey Mom, didn't Uryū only notify Uncle Ryūken? Why did you two come along too?" Ichigo asked curiously.

Masa rolled her Ichigo. "Don't forget that your Aunt Hae and I are also Quincy. After the Auswählen, our bodies have basically recovered after these years of recuperation."

"If your abilities can help A Long successfully awaken that Saint Letters, we wouldn't mind giving it a try."

"That's right, Ichigo, we still need your help." Hae covered her mouth and laughed.

"That's easy to arrange, leave it to me."

But Ichigo's tone wasn't nearly as confident as his words suggested. He stopped chatting with Masa and quickly found a corner to sit cross-legged, intending to ask Old Man Zangetsu about the consequences of his failed awakening.

"Mom," Uryū hesitated for a while before squeezing next to Hae and whispering, "I can return the Saint Letters to you."

Given Uryū's mastery of the Antithesis, he could easily reverse the Saint Letters and give it back to Hae. His hesitation stemmed from his fear that Hae would not accept it.

Just as Uryū had thought, Hae refused without hesitation, "Koume Long, what are you saying? Mom doesn't understand."

"Mom, your strength lies in your the Antithesis..."

"Hmm? You mean you want Mom to take back the gifts she gave out?"

Suddenly, Uryū felt a chill creep down his spine. Why was there an unseen, terrifying black shadow behind the gentle-smiling mother before him?

For the first time, Uryū felt a sense of fear from Hae. He had always thought that he could only feel this way from his father, but it turned out that the pressure emanating from his mother was no less than that from his father.

"No, that's not what I meant..." came the weak and feeble explanation.

Hae immediately lit up with sunshine, and all the terror around her vanished instantly. "It's okay, Mom still has the power of Uryū's Saint Letters, doesn't she? Mom is also looking forward to seeing what Koume Dragon's Saint Letters is."

Seeing his gentle and radiant Mom return, Uryū breathed a sigh of relief. He decided not to discuss the Saint Letters with Hae anymore; it was a minefield. In that instant, Hae was even more terrifying than Ryūken.

Time passed slowly, and everyone waited for the moment when Ryūken would emerge from his cocoon. No one doubted whether Ryūken would fail, because he was the last Pure-Blood Quincy in the World of the Living, Ryūken definitely had the ability.

Suddenly, a burst of light erupted, engulfing the crimson Chains. A massive pillar of light rose from the location of the Ryūken, with a colossal Quincy Cross standing within it.

Fortunately, this is the underground space of Urahara Shop, not the crude replica that Tsuna had in Soul Society. Urahara Kisuke has been operating here for hundreds of years, and it is deep and stable enough that it will not be destroyed by the Quincy Cross.

Tsuna stood up in surprise, because he knew what the appearance of the Quincy Cross meant: Ryūken had completed the power of the Vollständig while awakening the Saint Letters.

Ishida Ryuuken truly lived up to his reputation as a genius. He was not without talent in the Quincy path, but simply lacked interest.

Tsuna even suspected that if Ishida Ryuuken hadn't neglected his Quincy training, he might have been able to independently research and modify Vollständig suitable for World of the Living Quincy.

As the light faded, Ishida Ryuuken's figure was revealed. Apart from his open collar, Ryūken remained unchanged.

Masa, being the busybody she was, immediately pulled Hae forward, and the group gradually surrounded Ryūken.

"A Long, what are your Saint Letters?"

Seeing Hae's equally curious eyes, Ryūken made no attempt to hide anything, "The Saint Letters N stands for nicety, precise."

"Well, it doesn't sound that impressive. It's nothing like the devastating power of Ichigo and Koume's All-Things Exterminator and the Antithesis," Masa commented.

Hae didn't offer any comment; she simply held Ryūken's arm quietly, sharing the joy of her increased power with her lover.

"Uncle Ryūken, your Saint Letters has already been manifested, hasn't it?" Tsuna suddenly asked.

Ryūken smiled calmly, "Yes, after I learned the name of the Saint Letters, I realized that I had already obtained a part of its power."

"Little Tsuna, don't say things that are hard to understand!" Masa said, ruffling Tsuna's spiky hair.

Tsuna explained helplessly, "Do you two aunts still remember the day you were the Auswählen? It was Uncle Ryūken who helped you remove the Silver Blood Clot?"

Tsuna's first words pulled the group back into their past memories.

"To be honest, those Silver Blood Clot were really too small. I didn't expect Uncle Ryūken to be able to remove them all intact. Perhaps at that time, he had already unconsciously used the power of the Saint Letters."

"Is it accurate?" Isshin murmured. That day was indeed very dangerous. If it weren't for Tsuna and Ryūken, he couldn't imagine how he would have lived afterward.

"That's right. Apart from the time with the Auswählen, Uncle Ryūken's fighting style is always about using the least amount of strength to achieve the greatest results. He can concentrate the enemy's weaknesses with the least amount of power to achieve the greatest victory."

"It's hard to say that this isn't due to the precise Saint Letters at work," Tsuna said, shrugging his shoulders.

(PS: The Saint Letters power of Ryūken should have started with the letter P, but I've already assigned P to someone else and didn't want the same Saint Letters, so I've made do with this one starting with N.)

Anyway, I will try my best to use Chinese to represent the power of the Saint Letters from now on; I'll just use the English version for fun.
