4-72: Difference in Status I (3/3)
It was curious how much of that was serious and how much of it was just a front, but regardless, he justified his actions with a sense of mission and pride.
Well, I figured youd say that. I was hoping you people would have cured that foreigner allergy of yours, but alas, you remain the sa despite struggling to live in these modern tis.
Overly contemptuous language, and a perspective too narrow for the tis.
Rather than being angry or offended, Tomoe just shook her head, and despite the insults, found herself looking at him pitifully.
Michizane seed to realize what those eyes ant and his face twisted in displeasure.
Stop it! Dont look at with those disgusting eyes!
But that was not sothing he should have said.
Hmph!
In the next mont, Tomoe vanished.
All he saw was the sight of the cracked tatami mat she was stepping on before a denim-covered kneecap filled his vision.
Ah!!?
Unable to even scream from the shock and pain that followed, Michizane fell off the porch as he heard sothing shatter inside him.
Not only could he not break his fall, he couldnt even respond in ti as he fell to the ground.
W-Wonderfully executed.
Wow, its a flying knee strike Its my first ti seeing one in the flesh.
Ahh~ Tomoe-sama ruined the handso guy.
The three girls from behind gave various reactions, but Tomoe appeared to be unsatisfied, as she jumped down into the garden with nothing but spiritual power protecting her bare feet, then stood over the man to look down at him.
Gu, W-What happened A-Ahh, is this, blood!? M-My blood is Y-Y-You! How dare you kick my face!
It was then that he finally understood what hurt him and what made him bleed.
Already, not a shadow of his once handso face could be seen. His front teeth were broken and blood continuously dripped from his shattered nose.
He looked so different it was hard to associate him with that confident and beautiful young man from earlier.
How dare a filthy blood like you hit my face!
He must have been quite proud of his looks, as he found it humiliating to have his face crushed by soone of filthy mixed blood.
Thats why he glared at Tomoe with such anger that it distorted his distorted face even more.
But
How dare you shed my noble blood Eek!
What was waiting for him was a pair blue eyes filled with a cold anger even greater than his.
So cold was that anger that it felt as though his very soul was being frozen.
He could see himself being swallowed up in flas the mont he averted his eyes.
But those frightening blue eyes just looked at him as he crawled under the moonlight.
Are you mocking the eyes my father gave ?
After all, this man had touched sothing he should have never touched.
Tomoe indeed longed to look Japanese, but that didnt an that she didnt value the appearance she inherited from her father.
Her respect for her parents was not so cheap that she could remain calm when her eyes were described as sothing disgusting.
Youve got guts, dont you? Even though youre just a stale lineage(stale garbage)!
Y-You wench!
Thats why Tomoe adopted his style and started insulting his blood.
If her blood was impure, then their blood was stale goods.
That infuriated Michizane, causing him to swing down with his hand seal to cast a jutsu.
DieAgyaah, fuguu!?
But before he could complete his jutsu, Tomoe grabbed his fingers with one hand and broke them, then she used her other hand to punch his distorted face and distort it even further.
Oh, wow. When I thought I was going to be attacked, my body moved on its own.
Surprisingly, her body had moved on its own.
She had been so furious just awhile ago, but seeing her own body move so cleanly cald her down.
As it turns out, the so-called education(grueling training) Shinichi made them go through actually did manage to hamr these skills into her body, causing a wry smile to surface on her.
S-Shes always been the type to hit first when mad, but
Her violent side is evolving!
The three girls watching from the back were shocked. Although she indeed had a tendency to strike first, this was much more rciless than before.
Michizanes face was back on the ground again, and this ti, there was another dent on his face aside from the one left by the flying knee strike.
Ah, agya, my fingers, my, my fingers!! Ugu, y-you barbarian!!
Michizanes index and middle finger were bent to the opposite direction, while his face was so distorted it was hard to rember how it even originally looked.
Michizane was furious, but all he got in return was a laugh pregnant with scorn.
Hah, I dont want to hear that from soone who used his spiritual power so suddenly. You should have at least cast a jutsu to protect or strengthen yourself. Then your wounds wouldnt have been this grave. Wasnt that the first thing they taught you, young master?
They were exorcists who dealt with those not humans.
No matter how much they trained, their physical abilities could not possibly contest those creatures without any preparation.
It was just like a person with untrained Status trying face a raybeast.
Thats why most of the techniques they were taught when starting out were to compensate for those shortcomings.
As soon as Tomoe realized that shed been kidnapped, she imdiately cast a strengthening jutsu on herself.
Of course, she also had the blessings of her Status, but shes already forgotten about that, while Michizane was had neglected them.
Gu, uu!
Tomoes words resounded in his ears as mockery for being unable to do the basics.
Tomoe had always been rciless to her foes, but her wicked tongue might have been a result of soones influence.
Unforgivable!
The anger from that seed to overco even the pain, as Michizane applied a talisman of healing and hemostasis on himself while glaring at her.
Unfortunately, he couldnt feel any strength in his legs when he tried to stand up.
He was just too unused to physical damage, so the combination of a flying knee kick to the face, a physical finger break, and a face punch was more than enough to affect even his legs.
Lightning Oracle, kyuu kyuu nyo ritsu ryou [1].
Already, pity could no longer be seen on Tomoes eyes.
As she quietly and emotionlessly chanted an onmyouji chant, she called upon the powers of Raijin(lightning).
In the next mont, clouds covered the sky, and lightning shot through the gaps, shaking the earth.
[1] Standard onmyouji chant.
