Veiled Dragon

Noelle hadn't been a witch for very long, so her strength wasn't very high. The number 30 spell was the limit of her mastery, and she stopped after casting it all once.

On the opposite side of Noelle, protected by the Knight's Armor, Chad suffered no harm whatsoever.

In fact, Noelle's strongest attack at present is only at the level of the Red Fire Cannon. Chad doesn't need to protect himself; he can withstand it with just the Giant's Right Arm. Wearing the armor is just to give the girl peace of mind.

Noelle, who had demonstrated all her magic, remained silent, simply staring at Tsuna. The sudden appearance of the shopkeeper heightened her guard; her intuition told her that this guy in the hat was no good.

Tsuna has no intention of introducing Urahara Kisuke to Noelle for the time being. Now that Noelle has demonstrated her magic, it's time for him to reward Noelle.

"Besides your dragon companion, do you witches have any other ways to move quickly?"

Noelle gently bit her head, then tilted her head and asked, "Does running count?"

Upon hearing Noelle's question, Urahara Kisuke murmured to himself, "I see. The Quincy tradition was broken, so those who can control Reishi developed a new path?"

"There's a move that would be perfect for you to learn."

As he spoke, Tsuna pushed his foot forward, and Reishi condensed into a faint blue light beneath Tsuna foot. Tsuna and hovered around Noelle like an ice skater.

Noelle's somewhat listless eyes began to focus; she had noticed something amiss—it seemed she could actually learn this move.

"Hirenkyaku," Tsuna explained. "It's based on the same principle as your magic. Controlling Reishi under your feet is an advanced Quincy technique. If you master it, it's faster than your dragon!"

Before he could finish speaking, Tsuna appeared at the edge of Noelle's vision, and the next moment Tsuna flashed behind Noelle, leaving several afterimages in front of Noelle with his swift movements.

Noelle's eyes lit up; it was the first time Tsuna had seen her so excited. "Can you teach one more person?"

"Go to London to teach? Sorry, I don't have any plans to leave Japan for the time being." Tsuna said with a smile. Teaching one person is one thing, teaching two is another, Tsuna wouldn't mind teaching one more person.

"No, she's in Japan..." Noelle suddenly remembered that she hadn't checked her phone since sending the message, and knowing the other person's personality, she would definitely act impulsively.

Noelle took out her phone and saw the series of messages left by Nini. She knew that the other party must have misunderstood, and she quickly said...

"My companion is on her way; she thinks I'm in danger," Noelle said, while texting the other person that she was safe.

However, after waiting for quite a while, the Nini account still hadn't replied, Noelle knew she was in big trouble.

She looked at Tsuna and said, "I need to go to the door to meet her, otherwise she'll break in!"

Upon hearing Noelle's words, Tsuna knew that Noel must have a fiery temper, Tsuna immediately led Noelle upstairs to the coffee shop.

"Tsuna, are you done so quickly?" Tsukishima asked as he organized the goods, seeing Tsuna emerge from the secret passage.

"No, I'm just out picking up a friend..."

Before Tsuna could finish speaking, the coffee shop door was kicked open with a bang, and a leg wearing a black stocking peeked in.

"Listen up, you people inside! Hand over A-Xin right now, or I'll tear down this dilapidated house!"

The arrogant tone carried into the coffee shop along with the voice, and Tsukishima's face immediately darkened. This was Xcution's base, a sanctuary they had painstakingly built. How dare they come here to humiliate them? Did they think they could bully them?

The bookmark was pulled from the book and transformed into a slender katana. The power of the Book of the End had been unleashed, Tsukishima was ready to teach this arrogant fool a lesson.

Tsuna felt that the female voice was somewhat familiar, but before he could think further, he saw Tsukishima draw her sword, and he quickly pressed down on Tsukishima's restless hand.

"Don't get excited, he's my friend," Tsuna whispered.

Tsukishima glared at Tsuna, then reinserted the bookmark into the Book of the End, saying calmly, "Put it on your tab."

Tsuna rarely makes a purchase at the coffee shop, so if Tsuna were to take advantage of the damaged door to rip him off, Tsukishima could accept it.

Noelle recognized who had kicked the door open. She sighed, rubbing her forehead, and walked towards the door, calling out, "Nini, I'm okay. I sent you a message."

"Ha!"

Nini peeked through the doorway with a grumpy face and, sure enough, saw Noelle. Just as she was about to give Noelle a good scolding for her nonsensical information as a senior, her expression froze.

Why was he here? Nini didn't understand. Wasn't that spiky-haired guy by the bar the same Sawada Tsunayoshi who had helped her the day before yesterday?

Tsuna then turned his gaze to the doorway and saw Nini standing there. She had golden twin tails, wore an olive green jacket, black hot pants and stockings, and a plaid cloak draped over her shoulders. Wasn't this the Nini who had given him the tickets?

After a lengthy explanation, Nini blushed and apologized to Tsukishima, Tsukishima said it didn't matter at all, since the bill for the door had already been put on Tsuna's tab.

"I'm sorry, Sawada Tsunayoshi." Nini turned around and apologized.

"It's alright, Tsukishima, bring us a few lattes." After ordering, Tsuna led the two girls to sit down on the sofa. "It hasn't been long since Shinbashi-kun texted you, has it? You found this place so quickly?"

"Uh, that's because I Luffy here."

After learning from Noelle that Tsuna could also destroy Hollows, Nini had nothing left to hide. At her call, a small red dragon similar to Noelle flew in.

"You won't end up like Shinbashi-kun, flying in people's sight, will you?"

Hearing Tsuna's words, Noelle turned her head to the side. She later realized that it was indeed his fault for not avoiding people's gaze. Fortunately, Tsuna later helped her clean up the mess.

"How could that be? As A-Xin's senior, I could have remained completely undetected the entire time!" Nini said proudly.

"By the way, why did you rush over here in such a hurry? You know that Shinbashi-kun is in charge of supervising my parents, you shouldn't be in such a rush, right?" Tsuna asked curiously.

At this point, Nini's expression turned serious. "That's because there are dragons roaming around here!"

"Sawada Tsunayoshi, you remember when I met you around here, right? I was looking for a dragon back then, but I didn't find it."

"I thought A-Xin had been victimized, which is why I rushed over here."

"Is there a Hollow around here?" Upon hearing Nini's words, Tsuna immediately closed his eyes, released his spiritual pressure, and waited for a while before opening them again, saying, "No, I didn't sense any unusual spiritual pressure."

"Of course it's not that easy to find. This dragon is Veiled Dragon. They are masters at disguising themselves as humans. Even if the captain comes face to face with them, he might not be able to discover their true form," Nini said matter-of-factly.

"Such a powerful dragon, are you going to chase it down all by yourself?"

"No, that's not true. We still have A-Xin. The two of us can handle it, but we have to find her first," Nini said, putting her arm around Noelle's shoulder.

"How did you know the Veiled Dragon was nearby?" Tsuna asked curiously.

"That's because it reeks of sluttyness! I'll recognize it the moment I see it!"

Nini gritted her teeth and said that letting the Veiled Dragon escape was the biggest stain on her reputation as a witch, and failing to capture it might even affect her application to transfer to the Tactical Squad.

"Do you know what it looks like in disguise? Can you draw it? We can help," Tsuna said. Whether it's a dragon or a Hollow, finding it is the safest thing to do first.

"I've encountered it once before, which is why I was able to take on this task. During a chase, it changed its appearance and escaped to Japan, so I took the opportunity to come here to hold a concert and chased after it. It just so happens that A-Xin is also here as an exchange student, so this task will be completed by the two of us."

As she spoke, Nini pulled out a tissue and drew a simple sketch of a blonde, wavy-haired Western beauty on it.

Tsuna picked up a tissue and showed it to Tsukishima. Tsukishima nodded slightly, then drew the katana from the Book of the End and plunged it into the ground.

"What is he doing?" Nini asked curiously.

"Search the video footage around here..." Tsuna didn't elaborate on the details, as it concerned Tsukishima's abilities.

After a long while, Tsukishima withdrew his katana and slowly shook his head. Tsuna, having received the information, said to Nini, "There's no one around here who looks like that."

"Impossible!" Nini slammed her hand on the table, spilling some coffee. "The whole area reeks of that slut's stench, I'm pretty sure of it!"

This put Tsuna in a difficult position. What exactly did "Face Flavor" taste like? How could he find someone without any detailed information?

With a loud crash, the half-closed door collapsed. "Who is it? Who took the door down?"

As the instigator, Nini silently picked up her coffee, pretending to know nothing at all.

"Huh? What brings you here? And two pretty girls too? Be careful Tatsuki gets jealous~" It was Ginjo who returned, his face flushed, clearly indicating he had just come back from some wild partying.

"Tatsuki is underground. If you want to file a complaint, you can go there."

Tsuna Ginjo n't angry either; he chuckled and went into the room, seemingly about to start discussing his music again.

"You said he was crazy, but not this crazy!" Tsuna asked Tatsuzawa Kiriko. "Does this not seem like he has a girlfriend, or is his girlfriend in Kabukicho?"

Tatsuzawa Kiriko shrugged and said, "It's been like this for a while now. Anyway, no one in the World of the Living can hurt him. If he doesn't want to, why would he get drunk?"

If Ginjo wanted, he could use his spiritual pressure to clear his drunken state at any time; the only reason he didn't was because he was addicted to the pleasure.

"Hey, Sawada Tsunayoshi!" Tsuna turned around and saw Nini staring intently in the direction of Ginjo's room. "That guy smells strongly of a slut! I'm pretty sure of it!"
