34 Going on Vacation (1/2)
3 weeks before Tang San's party special training menu ended.
Ryu gave Yu Xiaogang the Rokushiki training manual.
”Teacher, you must reach Minor Accomplishment of this martial art in this 3 weeks. In this 3 weeks, I want to get silver spirit fighter badge in Great Spirit Arena” Ryu said.
”Good, but be careful. Great Spirit Arena is observed by the Spirit Hall. With your power, Spirit Hall will use all of its power to make you become one of them” Yu Xiaogang said.
”Don't worry, Teacher Xiaogang” then Ryu used Transformation Jutsu. He looked like Hakuryuu Ren.
”I will disguise myself like this. I will enter the Great Spirit Arena with this. I will call myself Hakuryuu Ren” Ryu said.
”How many secrets do you have?” Yu Xiaogang shocked. Then he nodded.
At night, he went to Great Spirit Arena. Great Spirit Arena bouts were all conducted in the evening. He defeated his first opponent easily. For this time he arranged for him to stay at the inn closest to the Great Spirit Arena. He provided lodging and board himself. As long as he had the ability, his income from Great Spirit Arena should be considerable. After he fought 5 peoples this night, he returned to Inn and slept. In the morning, he entered Spirit Pagoda to increase all of his Spirit Rings Age.
After 10 days, he got Silver Star Fighter Badge.
”I have 11 days left, I will go to Slaughter City,” Ryu said. Then he disguises himself as Toshiro Hitsugaya. After one day, he reached this city by using Soru.
This little town wasn't large, but just as he entered, Ryu felt an odd atmosphere in their surroundings. He couldn't say why, but he always thought the people around them had a kind of unusual coldness.
He went to a tavern in the small town and entered.
The atmosphere in the tavern was extremely turbid. Ryu noted that the decorations here were unexpectedly all black. Even though it was daytime outside, inside this place was a gloomy and cold dark feeling.
Right now the tavern was about thirty percent full or so. Even though the atmosphere was turbid, people rarely spoke, giving an extremely quiet impression.
His arrival attracted a lot of gazes, but for the most part, they were only quick glances flitting across them.
A waiter in black clothes and apathetic expression walked over.
”What do you want?”
Ryu said coldly said:
”I want to enter Slaughter City.”
The waiter's face changed slightly,
”You sure?
After a moment, a cup of muddy liquid was carried over. The liquid seemed dark red, distributing a strong stink as if the nose was assaulted by blood.
”Drink it.”
Ryu hesitated a moment, slowly raising the cup, drew a deep breath, suddenly closing his eyes, pouring the liquid in the cup into his stomach in one mouthful.
The liquid was somewhat salty, and moreover a bit acrid. A strong taste of blood suddenly pervaded Ryu's sense of taste and smell.
A waiter looked at him, calmly saying:
”This is a cup of human blood.”
