The Kusanagi Style of Ancient Martial Arts

On the rooftop, after having lunch with Shiina Mashiro went to the art club for a midday rest, leaving the rooftop space to Miyauchi Hiyage and Sakakibara Kouichi.

The question asked by Sakakibara Kouichi was very simple: was the rumor about Kanoe Yuko true?

"It's true, and I'm even currently being haunted by the evil side of Kanoe Yuko's soul," Miyauchi Hiyage said with a smile, revealing something extraordinary.

Sakakibara Kouichi's expression immediately turned strange.

Why does what Miyauchi Hiyage says sound so ambiguous?

Miyauchi Hiyage waved his hand. "Anyway, don't worry about these details. That guy won't cause any trouble. I'm not an ordinary person anymore, I can handle her."

After a long silence, Sakakibara Kouichi asked, "So you've finally decided not to be human anymore?"

Sakakibara Kouichi never treated Miyauchi Hiyage as an ordinary person.

How could an ordinary person build such a large company at the age of 16, buy a villa in the center of Tokyo, and then go off to make horror videos when their future seemed so bright?

How much money can horror movies make?

The Shining only grossed less than 50 million dollars at the box office back then, while those Japanese horror movies also grossed around 10 million dollars.

Even if Miyauchi Hiyage did nothing all day, with his frighteningly good fortune, he could probably make over 100,000 yen a day just by standing in the bustling city streets picking up money.

Previously, Sakakibara Kouichi thought that Miyauchi Hiyage genuinely liked horror movies, which was why he recruited him.

But after getting to know Miyauchi Hiyage's personality, he realized that Miyauchi Hiyage had too many interests, and movies were probably just one of his insignificant hobbies.

Coupled with the previous ghost incident, from that time onwards, Sakakibara Kouichi knew that Miyauchi Hiyage had other purposes.

Now it seems that Miyauchi Hiyage has finally achieved his goal after the Kanoe Yuko incident.

In response to Sakakibara Kouichi's question, Miyauchi Hiyage rolled his Byakugan.

Do you think I'm not a human being right now?

"What I mean is, we've now been officially recognized, and we're now a regular army." Miyauchi Hiyage snapped his fingers, and a flame appeared in his hand before quickly dissipating into the air.

This is a little trick developed by combining Ripple Breathing with Sun Breathing Swordsmanship.

It's useless; it's only good for setting off a fire.

But he does have a certain lack of class when it comes to showing off.

Sakakibara Kouichi watched the move displayed by Miyauchi Hiyage, even though he had long been prepared that this world was not simple, his mind was still violently shaken.

"After what happened with Kanoe Yuko, Ito Itou Kaiji is probably close to it too. But given his personality, it'll probably just be a passive case of 'good luck in adversity'," Miyauchi Hiyage patted Sakakibara Kouichi on the shoulder. "So you'd better work hard. There are a lot of people eyeing your position right now."

Sakakibara Kouichi, an ordinary person, had not yet fully changed his worldview when he heard about these things again.

After thinking for a while, he shook his head dejectedly. "I've never been very healthy since I was a child. Although I like reading horror novels, I have to admit that I'm a bit like Lord Ye who loved dragons but was terrified of them. If I were really exposed to those things, I'd probably run away."

No, you will not only not run away, but you will stand even more firmly on the side of the anomaly to investigate the truth.

Having seen Another, Miyauchi Hiyage certainly knew what kind of personality this young man had.

Itou Kaiji who usually thinks he has no future and therefore wanders around aimlessly, but when he is truly desperate, he is willing to throw everything away in order to survive and gain more benefits. He belongs to the unorthodox protagonist category.

Sakakibara Kouichi, is a typical detective story protagonist with a delicate and strong heart. Even as his classmates die one by one, he is able to investigate the truth amidst his pain and finally kill his aunt who died a year ago, ending the calamity of that year.

If he can truly awaken to extraordinary abilities and stand on his own, Miyauchi Hiyage would be happy to have such a promising assistant by his side.

He encouraged the other person and then briefly explained the situation in the Reverse Side World, including his current relationship with the Jujutsu High.

Then, the matter of transcendent awakening was briefly explained.

While ordinary people may awaken their abilities in their daily lives, it is clear that those who have long-term contact with extraordinary beings are more likely to awaken extraordinary abilities.

After telling him these things, Miyauchi Hiyage did not let Sakakibara Kouichi make a decision immediately, but instead asked him to calm down and think it over before making a decision, and said that he would support him no matter what decision he made.

Sakakibara Kouichi hadn't expected Miyauchi Hiyage to value him so much, but he nodded nonetheless, indicating that he would give it serious consideration.

Just as the other person was about to leave, Miyauchi Hiyage called out to them again, "If that transfer student comes to you and wants to join our team, you can agree to let her come with us to film locations."

Sakakibara Kouichi. Judging from Miyauchi Hiyage's tone, it seemed that the beautiful transfer student who transferred to the school today was also extraordinary.

But he didn't pay any attention to it.

That Haruhi Suzumiya is now Miyauchi Hiyage's deskmate, so their relationship should be closer, right? Why would she come looking for me if she didn't have anything to do?

After talking with Sakakibara Kouichi, nothing else happened that day.

Haruhi Suzumiya attended class diligently. During the break, she did speak to him briefly, but she didn't ask about the scary videos. Instead, she asked about Kasumigaoka Utaha's situation.

As expected, after hearing her own "warning," Kasumigaoka Utaha became even more interested in the existence of Haruhi Suzumiya.

Knowing that Kasumigaoka Utaha had tried to get close to Haruhi Suzumiya at the cafeteria at noon but to no avail, Miyauchi Hiyage simply explained to her that she and Kasumigaoka Utaha were just normal friends, and that she had only helped her with some things and given her some advice.

Seeing Haruhi Suzumiya's thoughtful expression, Hirakage Miyauchi Hiyage knew that Kasumigaoka Utaha must have failed in her test and instead aroused Haruhi Suzumiya's suspicion.

It seems that Haruhi Suzumiya, whose mind is entirely focused on Kasumigaoka Utaha, will be able to calm down for a while in the future.

Chapter 241: Kusanagi-ryu Ancient Martial Arts

For the next period of time, everything was calm and peaceful.

Haruhi Suzumiya was secretly investigating Kasumigaoka Utaha, while Kasumigaoka Utaha was also trying to test Haruhi Suzumiya.

The rivalry between these two beautiful girls has kept them both from bothering Miyauchi Hiyage.

And Miyauchi Hiyage's life suddenly became regular.

I get up at six in the morning and do some simple exercise in the courtyard of my big house.

During the day, I attend school and, while listening to lectures, I reflect on and integrate my current skill set.

After school, I went to film a food video for Tohru.

Originally, Miyauchi Hiyage only planned to have Tohru appear on screen, but after obtaining the special recipe, Shiina Mahiru, who felt her cooking skills improving with each dish she made, became slightly addicted to cooking.

In order to allow Shiina Mahiru to cook and test dishes without any worries, we aim to create a luminous dish this year.

Miyauchi Hiyage Himakage decided to collaborate on a video shoot. He was in charge of filming and preparing the dishes, Shiina Mahiru was in charge of cooking, Tohru was in charge of cleaning up the leftovers.

As a result, Shiina Mahiru successfully obtained the right to use a lounge and kitchen in Miyauchi Hiyage's Western-style house.

After the shoot, Miyauchi Hiyage would take the Shiina sisters and her older sister for a walk back to their residence. Occasionally, when Shiina Mashiro was inspired and wanted to stay up all night to create, the three girls would stay overnight together in the villa.

Later on, it will be time for Miyauchi Hiyage to keep his own diary and conduct research.

After drawing the Card Master Template and then drawing Unlimited Blade Works through a targeted draw, Miyauchi Hiyage's luck turned sour again.

They either won a set of comics or clothes of anime characters.

For example, he currently has a Kasumigaoka Utaha's used stockings, which he forcibly pulled off Kasumigaoka Utaha's thighs.

Kasumigaoka Utaha sent him a Shiina Mashiro from Kasumigaoka Utaha in the group chat, saying that there was a ghost in her room who stole her stockings.

That day, he went on a tirade in his diary, ranting about how the Diary's reward system was utterly outrageous.

He wants Kasumigaoka Utaha's stockings, can't he get them?

This is hardly a reward.

While Sakakibara Kouichi was still contemplating his future, the filming plans he had previously decided on were not delayed. Although the later videos were not as sensational as those of Kanoe Yuko, they still managed to maintain the account's popularity thanks to Miyauchi Hiyage's photography and editing skills.

It wasn't until the night before the second weekend after Golden Week that Maki Zenin received ten phone calls and dozens of emails from Miyauchi Hiyage, inviting him to the Jujutsu High to spar with her and even offering to teach him some physical techniques. That night, he finally received something that was somewhat useful.

"Kusanagi-ryu Ancient Martial Arts?"

The Miyauchi Hiyage suddenly brightened up.

In his previous life, he was a semi-fan of King of Fighters. Although he was terrible at the game and always got beaten in the arcade, he still knew the main characters and their backstories.

His acquisition of the Kusanagi-ryu Ancient Martial Arts was as comprehensive as ever. After all, the Kusanagi Style and Yagami-ryu are the same school, only the commonly used moves differ due to the different flames and personal usage habits.

The first to ninety-nine styles are considered as standard techniques, while the hundred to nine hundred and ninety-nine styles are considered as ultimate moves, and there are over a thousand super ultimate moves, as well as a bunch of derivative external styles.

It even included some swordsmanship.

After all, the Kusanagi sword is the ancestral artifact of the Kusanagi family. Although everyone is fighting in the King of Fighters world, the method of using the Kusanagi sword and swordsmanship are still within the Kusanagi-ryu Ancient Martial Arts.

As these materials were stored in her mind, Miyauchi Hiyage felt that the amount of information she received was no less than the amount of information she had received from the Ripple Chi Kung before.

"Aside from those super special moves that require the Kusanagi family bloodline to use, most other taijutsu can be combined with Ripple Chi Kung and Pure Yang Body to unleash their full power, right?"

Miyauchi Hiyage probed the information in his mind.

While it's true that the Kusanagi Style of ancient martial arts can only unleash its full power when combined with flames, there's actually an ordinary person in the game, Shingo Yabuki, who doesn't have Kusanagi blood, who successfully made it to the King of Fighters finals using Kusanagi Style martial arts and its derivative techniques.

In other words, this thing is quite useful for ordinary people as well.

These girls have been practicing Ripple Chi Kung for over a month, so their physiques should be stronger than ordinary people. The external techniques developed by Shingo Yabuki can be used for them to practice and improve their combat power.

If combined with the Flame Breathing, it's not impossible to unleash flames in the future.

Of course, more importantly, he wrote this thing in his Diary, and then Shiina Mashiro "taught" it to him, and then they studied it together for a few days. After going through this process, wouldn't it be reasonable for him to be able to create a standard combo based on his own physique and talent?

"It's a pity it's not the Shiranui-ryu style of martial arts," Miyauchi Hiyage remarked.

After all, the standard of the Shiranui school is to wear as few clothes as possible.

But after thinking about it, Miyauchi Hiyage realized that if he were to practice the Shiranui style, he would probably have to wear less clothing, and might even have to go shirtless like Ace all year round. So, the Kusanagi Style was definitely more suitable for him.

So, in the early hours of that day, with the help of Shiina Mashiro, Miyauchi Hiyage compiled a beginner's guide to the Kusanagi-ryu Ancient Martial Arts, which even beginners could learn, and distributed it as a bonus to the holders of the two batches of Diary.

I recently heard that Tokyo is a rather unsafe place. A bunch of ghouls, who seem to have escaped from another world, have come to our world.

At first, I thought those ghouls were something that already existed in this world, and that they just suddenly appeared all at once to make their presence known.

After a closer look, it turned out that these guys really were from another world, and they had no identity information in this world.

It's one thing that Tohru broke through the world barrier and was rescued by you guys, but it's another that she inexplicably got involved with that guy Miyauchi Hiyage, and now she's even going to film a food video with Shiina Mahiru. I can accept that too.

After all, Miyauchi Hiyage's fate was already changed after he came into contact with Shiina Mashiro, and now that Haruhi Suzumiya is by his side, I don't know what this guy will do in the future.

Could this guy really be allowed to start a harem in this world?

Damn, I'm still single, and this bastard is already having women on both sides.

I can't stand it anymore. I'll find a chance to sneakily beat him up in a few days.

Ahem, let's put this harem man thing aside for now.

Let's move on to things in other worlds.

I don't know how those guys came to be in this world, just like I don't know how Haruhi Suzumiya suddenly appeared in this world, and she seems to know nothing about her own affairs.

In short, don't mess with Haruhi Suzumiya. I won't go into her story today, but I've mentioned it before. You just need to know that she does have the power to change the world and is quite willful.

It's alright for now, but at most, these ghouls, plus Haruhi Suzumiya, have come to this world. Who knows if any other weird things will come to our side in the future?

The world is already chaotic enough, and it looks like it's going to get even more chaotic in the future.

Although the Reverse Side World acted quite quickly, for everyone's safety, I negotiated with the Diary for a long time and finally managed to secure a fairly useful self-defense technique for women. You've all probably practiced Ripple Chi Kung for quite some time, so this self-defense technique shouldn't be too difficult to learn. Just practice hard and hold out until I have my three-piece set, then I'll come out and save the world.

In her first diary entry, Miyauchi Hiyage briefly mentioned Haruhi Suzumiya and ghouls.

After all, more than a week has passed, and the appearance of Haruhi Suzumiya has been discussed in the Chat Group for a week or two. It was only today that Miyauchi Hiyage casually mentioned Haruhi Suzumiya's name and indicated that she came from another world.

As for the roaming ghouls, they have basically all been dealt with, and information about ghouls has already spread throughout the Reverse Side World.

Not to mention the Reverse Side World, even Conan, who hasn't appeared in a long time, has recently heard about the urban legend of the serial cannibal. He's currently trying to investigate these cases on his own, but was dissuaded from this suicidal idea by Miyauchi Hiyage with a note.

So it's not surprising that this is being mentioned now.

He emphasized the fact that people from different worlds had traveled to this world, which served as a wake-up call for the girls, encouraging them to work harder.

The upper and lower limits of the Kusanagi Style are quite large.

His minimum skill level is that of a street thug, but his maximum skill level is enough to defeat a god.

After posting the diary entry, Miyauchi Hiyage began giving Shiina Mashiro one-on-one instruction.

After all, Shiina Mashiro should learn first before she's qualified to teach someone like me who knows nothing about taijutsu, right?

The Kusanagi Style's guide, which was several times longer than the original Ripple Chi Kung training method, released by Miyauchi Hiyage that evening, made it difficult for the holders of both batches of Diary to get a good night's sleep.

The first batch of Diary holders were mostly ordinary people. Even if they obtained the training method of Ripple Chi Kung, they had no means of attack and did not know how to use the Ripple in their bodies.

It was only through occasional tutoring from Miyauchi Hiyage Jerry's guidance to Gokō Ruri that everyone gradually became familiar with the power of Ripple.

However, this is only a relatively basic usage. Apart from Shiina Mashiro and Miyauchi Hiyage Ripple Chi Kung as a way to improve their physical fitness and are unaware of Ripple Chi Kung various uses in combat.

Later, with the Breathing Swordsmanship that Shinomiya Kaguya found, they were provided with some offensive means.

However, one issue is that the breathing rhythm needs to be adjusted in conjunction with the swordsmanship, and the other is that in this era, normal people cannot carry a sharpened samurai sword around all the time.
