Not long after, Kaede returned from Asuna's side.
Upon returning, a shadow appeared in Kaede's eyes that had never been seen before. Of course, it wasn't because she was unhappy; her sister accepting her as she was now was the best thing, so what was there to be unhappy about?
However, Kaede looked at her fingers, then slid them down along her face, feeling the trembling of her heart, and bit her lip.
It was that feeling again. From the very beginning when she met Asuna and Akame, she had that very peculiar feeling.
Unconsciously falling into it, an easy sense of trust, a feeling of being unable to get angry no matter what...
This feeling seemed as if it had been deliberately arranged. Although Kaede had known of this feeling before, she hadn't thought much about it, but now, Kaede always felt that something was pushing all of this from behind.
"I hope it's just my hallucination..." Kaede shook her head, then picked up the teleportation token that Mo Xue had given her. Going to Asuna's side had been her last task here.
She had also already told them that she might go to take a look at the Burning Sword Sect.
Moreover, the others in Cloud Moon had accepted Mo Xue's suggestion and were now raising money for tuition~
Cloud Moon's goal was the Longqi Academy among the Four Great Academies, which was closest to Lingyun City and also had a very good reputation.
In fact, which of the Four Great Academies had a bad reputation~
However, according to the data, these four academies were the top-tier academies in this world. Actually, there was also a Tianling Academy, but this academy only recruited children of officials and had never been ranked, yet everyone knew it was superior to these four academies.
However, none of this mattered to Kaede. She had already decided to go to the Burning Sword Sect to take a look, and it was highly likely that she would study there.
It was just that she didn't know what they would actually teach. Skills? Magic?
While thinking, Kaede activated the teleportation token.
After a flash of light, Kaede disappeared from the spot. When she appeared again, Kaede looked around. Hmm, a wilderness.
Had the teleportation token malfunctioned? Kaede thought subconsciously. Mo Xue should have no reason to give her a fake teleportation token.
Just as Kaede was thinking this, suddenly her eyes contracted violently. She saw a figure.
That figure was very, very far away. He seemed to have noticed her, then walked casually toward her side, and the next moment, the figure appeared in front of Kaede.
"..." Kaede looked at the person in front of her, wearing a green robe, with clean, neat hair, and a face as gentle as jade.
However, none of that mattered. How exactly did he get over here? One step? Or two steps? Kaede felt that the person in front of her could crush her to death with a flip of his hand, right?
The person who arrived looked at Kaede, then looked at the token in his hand.
Only when Kaede saw his action did she realize that the token in her hand had appeared in his hand at some unknown moment...
"I remember this one is the one from the Qianhuan Sect." The man said as he rubbed his chin.
"It was given to me by Mo Xue." Kaede also understood; the man in front of her was likely someone from the Burning Sword Sect, so she couldn't help but say.
"That little girl? It is indeed that little girl." The man laughed, then said: "No need to think so much; even if you had snatched it, it wouldn't be a problem, because people with crooked minds cannot join the Burning Sword Sect."
"..."
"Follow me." The man turned around and just walked away. With every step he took, his figure directly appeared several miles away.
"..." Seeing this scene, Kaede was stunned. Then, after reacting, she didn't hesitate; her whole body shot out like a cannonball, following behind the man.
"Uh, not bad~" A smile appeared on the man's face, and then the magnitude of his jumps became even larger. While walking, the man would sometimes drink a cup of wine, sometimes pick up a pebble and flick it away, but even so, Kaede was never able to overtake him, only able to see his back.
Looking at his back, for the first time, Kaede experienced what it meant to be desperate. She estimated that even if he wanted to make a move, even Koro-sensei's speed wouldn't be able to escape, right? It wasn't that his speed was faster than Koro-sensei's, but that in front of him, Koro-sensei had absolutely no possibility of being able to unleash a speed of Mach 20...
"Burning Sword Sect..." A burning desire appeared in Kaede's eyes. She had decided on this sect.
Finally, the man stopped in front of the towering mountains.
And after Kaede saw the man stop, she accelerated, then arrived beside the man. Looking at the winding and undulating mountain range in front of her, she couldn't help but feel a little puzzled.
"We've arrived." As the man said this, he cast a beam of light from his hand, and then, in Kaede's wide-eyed view, the space in front of them suddenly rippled like water, and then a light gate appeared.
"Go in." The man shrugged his shoulders and said. At least as far as he was concerned, Kaede had passed.
As he said this, the man stepped into the light gate, looking at the three characters in front of him: Burning Sword Sect.
These three characters were carved by their Sect Master personally. A longing appeared in the man's eyes. Looking at those three characters, feeling the charm within them, he then shook his head and gave up.
He was just a gatekeeper, an ordinary LV6, and simply couldn't comprehend the charm within them.
"Eh?" Suddenly, the man was taken aback. He turned around and looked at the empty space behind him, where Kaede should have been, but now it was empty.
"Mm." The man smiled. Inside the Burning Sword Sect, it was absolutely safe. Although his aptitude was quite ordinary, he had stayed at the LV6 level for a long time, and even if the Vice Sect Master made a move, he would be able to detect a trace of power fluctuation.
However, at this moment, he didn't feel the slightest bit of power fluctuation.
"That irresponsible Sect Master." The man said mockingly, but there was no expression of complaint in the smile on his face.
Then he lay down on the stone beside him, took out a few bottles of wine and some side dishes, and started eating there.
After this one, when would the next one arrive?
...
On the most remote peak of the Burning Sword Sect, Kaede opened her eyes, but didn't see the man's figure, so she couldn't help but be stunned.
Looking at the simple house made of wood in front of her, Kaede tilted her head, a bit puzzled.
"Come in." At this moment, a voice came from the room. It was a voice Kaede felt she had heard somewhere before...
Then, without hesitation, Kaede walked into the small house made of wood.
However, to Kaede's surprise, the space inside was larger than she had imagined, and much larger...
Although the exterior image was just a very small house that could probably only accommodate one person, after entering, it was very spacious and bright, and even in terms of space, it was not inferior to the Imperial Palace in akame ga kill...
"So you've finally come."
Kaede heard this voice, then looked at the figure sitting at a wooden table drinking tea, and her whole body froze.
