Kimura Kazuki had always wondered why the four girls would suddenly refuse to study even though they had agreed to be homeschooled by him .

He thought that they were just making a fool out of him, never would he expect this was the main reason .

Apart from their academic abilities, Furuhas.h.i.+ Harunaka and the girls were quite perfect . Although they were born rich, they did not behave like spoiled brats . Furuhas.h.i.+ Natsui used to be a delinquent, but she was only trying to seek attention from others .

It was natural for Kimura Kazuki to feel grateful toward them . Before he had mastered the Yagyu Flying Sword Style, his salary as a translator was not sufficient to cover his monthly expenses . Being their home tutor had helped him to overcome the hards.h.i.+ps during the early stage of his practice .

As Kimura Kazuki bid farewell to the girls, he could see the guilt in their eyes, especially Furuhas.h.i.+ Natsui, who was biting her tongue . He smiled to himself . Young girls like the Furuhas.h.i.+ sisters can be so sensitive and sentimental . They can be troubled by a minor issue for such a long time .

When he arrived at the lobby, he received a call from Sena Nagayama .

“Miss Nagayama, you manage to catch me as soon as I got out of the elevator . You"re acting real quick,” Kimura Kazuki grinned .

Sena Nagayama said reluctantly, “Harunaka texted me, but they didn"t answer the phone when I called, to which I a.s.sume they are afraid to speak to me at the moment . So, I called you instead . Have you really decided to resign?”

“Yes, I"ve made up my mind,” Kimura Kazuki heaved a sigh, “I"ve prepared myself considerably before taking up the job . It"s just that… when your students are simply not interested in learning, no amount of preparation can be useful . ”

“If you can"t teach them, then there really isn"t anyone else who can do it,” Sena Nagayama said in despair . She had always looked forward to the replacement cla.s.ses from the Sword Believes" Club and Kimura Kazuki . Unfortunately, no one could figure out Harunaka and the girls .

Kimura Kazuki smiled without saying anything . After exchanging a few words with Sena Nagayama, he was ready to end the call . At this moment, she said, “Now that you"ve quit the job, what is your future plan? If you need a job, I have a few vacant positions, and I can help you out with that . ”

He was moved and overwhelmed with grat.i.tude when Sena Nagayama presented her offer . “Harunaka and the girls asked for your favor to help me, right? To be honest, you don"t have to do that . ”

“That"s only one of the reasons,” Sena Nagayama chuckled and told him the truth, “In fact, I wish to invest in you . With your current results, it shouldn"t be a problem for you to enroll in the University of Tokyo . More precisely, I want to invest in your future . ”

Even if Kimura Kazuki failed to do well in the university, she had nothing to lose . She could always help him find a job, and, for her, that was undoubtedly an easy task .

I see…

However, Kimura Kazuki rejected her without hesitation, “I"ve already got a plan for myself . Thanks, Miss Nagayama, but I"m afraid I will have to decline your offer . ”

“Well… I"ll stop bothering you then . Remember to look after Harunaka and the girls at school . ”

“Of course, I will . ”

After he hung up the call, Kimura Kazuki stood quietly at the atrium of Suiryu Duplex Apartment as he took in a deep breath . Somehow, his mind was at ease .

Just when he relaxed his mind and let go of the issue altogether, reiki within the atmosphere began to act violently . From all directions, the reiki coalesced and surged ferociously into Kimura Kazuki"s body .

What"s happening?

Kimura Kazuki"s expression changed…

Without any further contemplation, his Second Foundation State had leveled up within two minutes .

Third Foundation State!

A large amount of reiki was stored within the Sun and Moon Sword, causing Kimura Kazuki to fail to withstand the violent surge of reiki . It was true that one would level up as soon as there was a sufficient amount of reiki . However, real practice emphasized on steady and natural progress . An enormous amount of reiki like that would be very harmful .

Upon observing the reiki within the Sun and Moon Sword, he realized that he could actually achieve the Fourth Foundation State by absorbing all the remaining reiki . He was astounded . In fact, he reckoned that if the reiki was dense enough within the atmosphere, his level might be able to continue to increase .

But… how did this unexpected increase in level happen?

On his way back, though Kimura Kazuki was elated, he was also anxious and doubtful . He was ruminating about the strange ordeal as he could not make sense of it . It was not until he arrived home that he realized what had happened .

Is this… refining the mind in the world of mortals?

During his past life, he met a talented pract.i.tioner in the Spiritual Academy by the name of Lin Fan . He went through the Metamorphosis State in three days and Core Formation State in ten days . Within a month, he had reached the peak of the Core Formation Stage . After five years of a plateau at the height of Core Formation State, he was finally able to break through and achieve the Golden Elixir State .

During these five years, Lin Fan was absent at the Spiritual Academy, and n.o.body knew his whereabouts . He only returned to the academy after he achieved Golden Elixir State, where he then immediately conducted a forum for the achievers of Golden Elixir State . Kimura Kazuki was not eligible to join this forum back then, but he had seen the video clips .

According to Lin Fan, he went away for five years due to a piece of advice from a senior pract.i.tioner, suggesting him to refine his mind in the world of mortals .

In modern society, the younger generation was overwhelmed with various information, turning them into short-tempered people . This was why so many people were stuck at the peak of Core Formation State . However, the world of mortals was, in fact, the best place for one to train his or her mindset . Sadly, most of the people were lost within the world of mortals . Only a handful of them managed to see through the vanity of life and be enlightened with the meaning of life .

Lin Fan took the advice and joined the social world as an ordinary person . During his second year in the mortal world, he fell in love with a common girl . However, the girl"s mother was unexpectedly diagnosed with "Withered Heart Disease . " An illness that only came after the recuperation of reiki and could only be cured with the Soul Summoning Elixir . However, the main ingredient to this elixir was Soul Summoning Herb, which was extremely rare .

Naturally, there was Soul Summoning Herb in the Spiritual Academy that could be exchanged with credits they gained from contributing to the academy . This was the rule, and Lin Fan should not be an exception .

To gain the Soul Summoning Herb, he frantically took up every kind of task . Eventually, he managed to acc.u.mulate sufficient credits to exchange for the Soul Summoning Herb within two months . Then, with the help of the teacher from the Alchemy Division, he was able to create the Soul Summoning Elixir . However, when he excitedly brought the elixir to the girl"s mother, he learned that she had pa.s.sed away half a month ago .

Lin Fan was in denial as patients with "Withered Heart Disease" would typically survive for at least three months .

Soon, he found out from the girl that her father pa.s.sed away when she was young . It was her mother that had been through all the hards.h.i.+ps and single-handedly brought her up . In the early stages of the recuperation of reiki, she was already suffering badly, and her body could not handle the stress . When she was diagnosed with "Withered Heart Disease," her biggest wish was for her daughter to marry Lin Fan .

However, as soon as she was diagnosed, Lin Fan went missing for more than two months, and he only occasionally updated them .

When he learned about this, Lin Fan cried his heart out . He was swamped by remorse . The story became a burden that he invariably carried around, to the point where his practice was deteriorating . It was not until three years later, something happened to him, and his repentance was finally resolved . With one smooth action, he did not only break through the Golden Elixir State but immediately achieved the advanced Golden Elixir State .

At the end of the video, Lin Fan heaved a sigh .

“Most of the things in this world are not likely to be perfect . Sometimes, letting go is the only way to set one free . ”
