Kurajing Is "Forced" to Join Up × Roy Trains with a Sword Beneath the Waterfall

How did he know?

Kurajing's gaze was fixed intently on Roy.

The Sun-Earring Boy fished quietly without turning around, yet he could clearly feel the shock of the gaze directed at him from behind.

The Kurta Clan... Scarlet Eyes... Seven Wonders of the World... Kurapika... Prince Tserriednich of Kakin... These images involuntarily surfaced in my mind...

Roy said calmly, "Don't be so surprised. There's no place in the world where the sun doesn't shine, so naturally there are no secrets."

"It's nighttime, there's no sun." Kurajing adjusted her glasses and said seriously, "I don't know how you found out, but please, you absolutely mustn't tell anyone."

Just how rare are Scarlet Eyes in this world...? No one understands the reasons and dangers behind the Kurta Clan's decision to live in seclusion better than Kurajing, the person directly involved.

But nothing stays hidden forever. As Roy said, if something exists, it will be found, and if it is found, it will be collected. The fact that the Kurta clan was wiped out in the future, leaving only Kurapika as the sole survivor, is proof of this.

"Who gave you the audacity to ask the Young Master for favors?" Gotoh glared at Kurajing, grabbed her collar, and lifted her up!

The girl gripped Gotoh's large hand tightly, not struggling. Her eyes narrowed, quickly turning red, completely devoid of her previous pleading weakness. Instead, she adopted an extremely fierce attitude, glaring at Gotoh with a death-defying resolve, and said, "You can question me, or you can strangle me!"

"You could even gouge my eyes out, no problem!"

"As long as you don't leak my clan's information... I Kurajing, am at your mercy!"

Kurajing?

"Put her down." Roy suddenly remembered the blond, red-eyed, and exceptionally intelligent boy, and calmly said, "I have no interest in your race, and even less interest in your eyes."

Even though Scarlet Eyes possess the ability to unleash the full power of all elemental types, it wouldn't be of much use to Roy in his current state. He couldn't very well gouge out his own eyes and replace them with his own...

"Yes." Gotoh released Kurajing.

The girl smoothed out the wrinkles at her collar and looked intently at Roy: "How can I trust you?"

Roy: "Believe it or not."

Kurajing squinted his eyes. "I want to follow you."

Gotoh: "?"

The girl declared righteously, "I know about the Zoldyck, the world's number one assassin family. It was described in ' My Those Years I Was an Assassin.' I can also apply to be their butler and join the Zoldyck."

"Only by becoming 'one of us' can we ensure that the secret won't be leaked," Kurajing silently added to herself at the end.

It must be said that the girl's thinking was very clear. She came to participate in the test in order to obtain Hunter License and get on the good side of the Hunter Association. In this way, she could also add some support to the Kurta Clan.

Now... Kurajing looked stubbornly at Roy. She had seen every bit of the Sun-Earring Boy's performance just now. This was also an incredibly strong support, and it didn't conflict with the Hunter Association!

"Gotoh)."

"Young Master, please speak."

"Find that author and give him a good beating!"

Without turning his head, Roy said, "It would be best to pull out his tongue so he can stop talking nonsense!"

"Yes."

Kurajing: "6

She secretly swallowed, completely at a loss for words.

Gotoh glared at her, then ignored her.

After saying that, Roy remained silent for a short while... [Hint: "Form Transformation" +15]...

He fished quietly, continuing to hone his Nen Ability, and before he knew it, night had fallen.

Night. The moon hangs high in the sky.

The fighting continues aboard the "Poseidon," while Roy enjoys a peaceful life.

No one dared approach the bow of the ship, and no one even dared to make a move on Kurajing anymore, treating her as just Roy.

By sheer luck, she indirectly gained a huge advantage, using her connections to find an unlucky guy, steal his number plate, and accumulate points.

Roy and Gotoh turned a blind eye and ignored her, but Kurajing was sensible and took on the role of housekeeper early, pushing a food cart to deliver meals to the two of them.

Eat when you should eat, kill when you should kill; the Hunter Association has never been stingy when it comes to ensuring food for examinees.

Tonight's dinner featured locally sourced ingredients, including a variety of seafood. Gotoh helped Roy peel a bread crab... Kurajing, resting her chin on her hand, watched quietly, then suddenly asked, "Aren't you afraid I'll poison it?"

Gotoh sneered. Roy ate even faster and more happily. The absurdity of Zoldyck being poisoned was probably not recorded by any author in "My Those Years I Was an Assassin". Soon, under Kurajing's smiling gaze, Roy threw down a pile of crab shells, turned around and went back to the bow of the boat, where he sat down cross-legged.

Having not practiced his sword for several days, the Sun-Earring Boy discovered that as long as he didn't open the gates of Demon Slayer, nothing would happen that night. He would fall asleep and wake up normally, entirely according to his own will... This undoubtedly gave him more freedom in entering and leaving the "Cognitive World."

Moreover, after his previous battle with Pariston, no one dared to provoke him again... According to Captain Mark Sim, it would be another five or six days before they arrived at Doli Island.

Roy then told Gotoh to remember to wake him if anything happened... He closed his eyes, meditated, and began to fall asleep, preparing to fulfill his promise to his master Urokodaki Sakonji.

Let's set off to learn "Breathing Style"!

Gradually... drowsiness crept in, and the sounds of battle around him grew fainter and fainter. The Sun-Earring Boy tilted his head slightly and drifted off to sleep. Soon, through "deep sleep," he passed through the colorful Dream Passage and arrived at the familiar Sea of Cognition.

This time, without taking any breaks, he pushed open the door to Demon Slayer and stepped inside.

The familiar feeling of falling washed over me...

When he groggily opened his eyes again, he smelled the aroma of porridge.

Roy smiled slightly, turned over and sat up on the kang (a heated brick bed), stretched his arms and yawned, then firmly planted one foot on the ground.

The sea is not as turbulent as the land; it's more grounded and reassuring.

"Eiichiro, Master has made you something delicious again~" Makomo has always felt regretful that she can't personally taste the dishes made by Urokodaki Sakonji, so she always asks Roy to share his "after-eating thoughts" to satisfy her little craving.

What is it?

"Fresh fish porridge." The little girl said with no small amount of envy, "Master went to the river to catch fish for you at four o'clock, probably thinking that you're going to learn Breathing Style today, and wanted to let you feel the rhythm of 'water' in advance."

"Don't listen to her nonsense." Sabito couldn't help but roll his eyes at Makomo. "Eating fish has Makomo nothing to do with learning ' Water Breathing, ' Eiichiro. Be prepared for the pressure."

Seito's words were loaded with meaning, Roy listened quietly, the image of Tanjiro practicing his sword under the waterfall automatically flashing in his mind. If nothing unexpected happened... he would probably have to go through the same thing today.

As expected, Urokodaki Sakonji didn't let the future Tanjiro, nor did he let himself off the hook either. In fact, he went even further than he would have taught Tanjiro in the future, not even waiting a day longer. He made Tanjiro take off his shirt and come to the waterfall, where he was forced to practice "Water Breathing" by mimicking Tanjiro's movements...

"Water Breathing, First Form: Water Surface Slash..."

"Second Form: Water Wheel... Third Form: Flowing Dance... Fourth Form: Striking Tide..."

"No, raise the knife higher... Breathe with your abdomen, not through your mouth... Remember the point of force, drive your arm with your core, not by brute force... Also, what about the rhythm of your breathing? I said it should be steady, gentle, and fluid like water..."

"Who are you trying to impress with that stiff performance? You'll get eaten by ghosts sooner or later!"

Urokodaki Sakonji's teachings, mixed with the cascading water of the waterfall, repeatedly struck Roy, this rough gem.

Seito and Makomo watched from the side, having never heard him say so much before. They exchanged a glance and remained silent.

He thought to himself, "Master... he's not treating Eiichiro like a human being at all!"

But... Eiichiro remained silent, focusing intently on learning, and slowly began to show promise, his progress so rapid it was unbelievable!

"Water Breathing - Seventh Form - Drop Ripple Thrust!"

Half a day later, Roy thrust forward and stabbed...

A glint of cold light appeared first, then ripples spread, whipping up a waterfall that shot forward!

A sharp Water Hashira tore through the air, suddenly taking shape, grazing the Seito and Makomo, and rushing towards a cypress tree on the shore... The thick cypress tree was too big for two people to encircle, but because it took Roy's attack, a large hole was suddenly pierced in the center of the trunk!

"Hint: ' Water Breathing ' has been activated... Experience points +10..."
