A Journey Across the Myriad Worlds Beginning with The Irregular at Magic High School
"Also, we're about the same age, right?"
"You don't need to address me with formalities; if you don't mind, just call me by my name."
As William spoke, his hand movements gradually slowed down.
The girl beside him had already lowered her head shyly, Yoshino Wagatsuma was looking at him with a strange look, and Kotoha Toudou was covering her mouth as if she was secretly laughing.
"Sorry, it was just a slip of the tongue!"
What can I say?! He touched that girl's head for so long!
The lingering silence in the air was making William incredibly embarrassed.
"Cough!"
"It's alright. Kirin is much younger than you, so it's perfectly normal for her to use honorifics with you!"
"There's nothing wrong with you touching her head, and the most important thing is that Kirin doesn't object!"
Kotoha Toudou broke the silence with a light cough, and what she said next left William in a state of brief bewilderment.
"You mean Miss Dao Teng is much younger than me?"
William was practically ready to shove that question, "Are you kidding me?" right in Kotoha Toudou's face.
His intense surprise only piqued Kotoha Toudou's interest!
"Mr. Spengler, if there's nothing particularly urgent, would you like to have some tea first?"
This is a traditional Japanese-style tea room.
The entire room's floor is made up of nine tatami mats pieced together.
The sliding door on the south side is the one they used to enter.
The west side has glass windows that offer a view of quite a distance outside.
The east and north sides are man-made display cases, which mainly display various styles of antique tea sets. Just by looking at their dazzling appearance, you can tell that they are very valuable.
In the center of the tea room stands a low table made of rosewood, with four cushions placed around its four sides.
Now that Kotoha Toudou Qiaoran have turned the page on what happened last night, William has no need to rush off.
Moreover, although his schedule is very tight, it's not like he has absolutely no free time.
After leaving the Todo Style, he only needed to go to a place called Amagiri Shinmei Style to witness their ancient martial arts style.
Because the information Fan Xinglu provided to him indicated that this school of thought covered a wide variety of weapons.
Each of these schools of martial arts—spearmanship, swordsmanship, archery, and staffmanship—has its corresponding techniques.
Then, he would travel to places like Europe to broaden his horizons.
As for Chinese martial arts, Fan Xinglu didn't provide any of them.
In her words, she is the master of Chinese martial arts, and there are various schools of Chinese martial arts in Jielong, so you can learn about Chinese martial arts by going back to Jielong.
Of course, the main reason was that he was genuinely interested in Toudou Kirin's real age.
Kotoha Toudou also had an attitude that said, "If you don't want to have tea with me, I don't want to tell you anything."
There was no other way, so he had no choice but to obediently follow along.
Let's continue our conversation!
"William, how old do you think my Kirin is?"
After the maid filled the teacups in front of the four people with tea, Kotoha Toudou looked at William and spoke with a smile.
Fourteen years old?
William spoke tentatively.
Although Kotoha Toudou had said that Kirin was much younger than him, forgive him for not being able to guess any further.
Because that would be just too incongruous!
"Wait a minute! Kirin is only twelve years old this year!"
William's sudden, direct gaze made the easily embarrassed girl cross her arms and blush, her eyes filled with panic.
This world is so cruel!
For some people, this girl's existence is a fatal blow!
However, none of these are very important!
"So, Miss Dao Teng is still in elementary school?"
"Just call me Kirin, William- senpai!"
"I am indeed in elementary school!"
Kirin weakly corrected William's form of address.
As for why she now calls him "Senior William," it's simply because after William told her to call him by his first name, she felt it wasn't appropriate to address an older person that way, so she added the word "Senior."
What an overly shy yet overly earnest girl!
William silently made a judgment about the girl in his mind!
However, what shocked him most now was no longer Kirin's figure, which was completely out of proportion to her age.
What's even more astonishing is that this girl's swordsmanship talent surpasses that of everyone he has ever seen.
There is no one here, male or female, with greater talent than the girl before them.
If Kirin were his age, he wouldn't be so shocked.
Reaching the Grandmaster level at his age is extremely difficult, but not impossible.
The problem is, she's only twelve years old!
Such swordsmanship talent was simply beyond his comprehension.
