Traveling Across Worlds, Beginning with The Irregular at Magic High School

Upon hearing what Yoshino Wagatsuma said, William stopped refusing and a slight smile appeared on his lips.

He accepted the gratitude for teaching Kirin without feeling any pressure.

After all, he left no room for leniency when he taught Kirin.

He not only taught Kirin the sword techniques he had developed, but also often helped Kirin fill in any gaps in her knowledge when he had free time.

They even managed to get Kirin a handy version of the Orga Lux.

He could accept this small token of gratitude.

"However, please stop using the formal 'you' to address me from now on; just call me 'you'."

William's humble words won him even more favor from everyone.

"Then we won't stand on ceremony. Please, Mr. William, relax and have some fun here for the next couple of days!"

That's what Seijiro Todo said.

However, judging from this, it seems that Yoshino Wagatsuma is indeed gradually returning power to Seijiro Todo.

"I see."

William nodded slightly, while Kirin seemed to have suddenly thought of something.

He took the sword pouch off his shoulder, drew out the precious sword, and placed it on the wooden table.

"Father, this is the 'Senhagiri'. I've kept it very well, and now I'm returning it to you intact."

This was a decision Kirin had made back in the Aqua City.

The "Senhagiri" should be returned to its father.

Because "Senhagiri" represents more than just the heirloom sword of the Todo Style.

It also has another profound meaning.

That means this sword can only be passed down through the hands of the sect leader!

All the successive leaders of the Todo Style have used this "Senhagiri".

The reason this knife ended up in Kirin's hands was entirely because of Seijiro Todo's imprisonment.

The sentence was for several decades, and by the time Seijiro Todo was released, he was already a wretched old man.

Naturally, he would no longer be able to wield the Todo Style.

Therefore, the "Senhagiri" technique would naturally pass on to the next sect leader.

As for Yoshino Wagatsuma, she was ultimately just a substitute sect leader.

He is no longer qualified to wield the "Senhagiri," which symbolizes the position of the sect leader.

Seijiro Todo said nothing, but simply picked up the treasured sword that he hadn't seen for many years with both hands.

Grasp the handle and slowly draw the blade.

Looking at the sword blade that reflected a cold, eerie light, a look of reminiscence appeared on Seijiro Todo's face.

After a long while!

"Smack!"

After a crisp clang, the gleaming sword was once again sheathed.

Then it was put back on the desktop.

"Father?"

Kirin looked at Seijiro Todo with some confusion, not quite understanding what her father was doing.

"It's nothing. This knife is yours from now on. I have no need to keep it anymore."

This statement immediately created a tense atmosphere on the scene.

Even Kirin's face showed a hint of surprise.

Seijiro Todo's words are quite easy to understand; what he meant was—!

"Kirin, it's time for you to take over as the leader of the Todo Style."

Yoshino Wagatsuma also showed an expectant expression. Although handing the sect leader back to Seijiro Todo was a good decision, having Kirin take over the Todo Style was the result she most hoped for.

Kotoha Todo, on the other hand, seemed completely indifferent.

The sudden remark made Kirin lower her head even further.

However, her face was no longer flushed as before; instead, it had turned somewhat pale.

His hands, hanging at his sides, were clenched tightly and were beaded with sweat.

It was somewhat expected that her father and aunt would say those words.

Because during dinner on the night the Festas ended, Yoshino Wagatsuma had subtly hinted at this.

This is also why she begged William to go back to Sendai with her.

Of course, she had already made up her mind; asking William to come back was just to help her gain courage.

Kirin glanced furtively at William, who was sitting opposite her, smiling.

"I am not fully mature yet. Although I won the championship of the Griffon Festa this time, it was all thanks to the contributions of my seniors."

"Furthermore, there is still much I want to learn in the Jielong, so I want to stay in the Jielong to continue honing my swordsmanship."

"When I am able to stand on my own, I will come back to take over the Todo Style."

"So until then, I still hope that Father can continue to serve as the head of the Todo Style sect."

After saying all this in one breath with her face flushed red, Kirin lowered her head again.

Clearly, those words had exhausted all her strength; after speaking, she didn't even dare to look her father in the eye.

At this moment, a strange expression appeared on William's face.

Because Kirin, who had lowered her head, was unaware that he had been watching very clearly, all three people present showed knowing smiles after Kirin lowered her head.

Their expressions suggested that Kirin's decision was entirely within their expectations.
