When a new official takes office, a meeting is naturally required.
Ryosuke and Kanae walked side by side toward the Ubuyashiki family's house.
"A little nervous?" Ryosuke turned his head to look at her.
"It's more about responsibility. As Rika said, the Butterfly Mansion needs a pillar."
Kanae paused for a moment, then looked at Ryosuke: "I also want to thank Mr. Ryosuke for his help and guidance all this time."
"It's just about supporting each other."
Ryosuke smiled and said, "From now on, we'll be classmates, Hanahashi Kanae."
This address made Kanae blush slightly, and she pursed her lips a little shyly.
The two walked at a brisk pace, and by the time they arrived at the Ubuyashiki family's house, the sun had already fully risen above the horizon.
Except for the ever-absent Makijuro, all the other Pillars were present.
To Ryosuke's surprise, not only Giyuu came, but Sabito was also present.
Sabito waved excitedly at Ryosuke when he saw him.
Ryosuke smiled and nodded in acknowledgment.
Kanae stepped forward and bowed to Kagaya Shiki.
"My lord, we apologize for being late."
Kagaya waved his hand gently, his voice calm: "It's alright, Kanae, Mr. Ryosuke, please take a seat."
The two sat down in the reserved seats.
Kagaya's gaze swept over everyone present, and he slowly spoke.
"There are two main things I've called you all here to announce."
"Firstly, it has been confirmed that Kanae Kocho, together with Rika Kiritani, successfully defeated the new Lower Moon Four, the Mist Ruins, in the Battle of Mist Valley, achieving remarkable feats."
"Saito has slain a total of fifty evil spirits, demonstrating both excellent strength and temperament."
"Effective today, Kanae Kocho will officially assume the position of 'Flower Pillar'. Meanwhile, as previously discussed, Sabito and Giyu Tomioka will jointly serve as 'Water Pillar', with equal treatment and authority as the other pillars."
No one raised any objections.
Kanae's talent and contributions are undeniable.
The proposal for two water jets had already been approved by Kagaya when Ryosuke first put forward it; now it's just being formally implemented.
Sabito smiled and greeted those around him, his gaze lingering on Ryosuke for a moment with gratitude.
"Second..."
Yaozai continued.
"Regarding the adjustment of your jurisdictions, I will send you detailed maps and documents later. In addition, the final selection for the next term is scheduled for one month from now."
Ryosuke understood.
That kid Sanemi also trained in Luanfeng Mountain Stream for a while.
With his talent and physique, passing the assessment will not be a problem.
Kanae then elaborated on the current difficulties faced by the Butterfly Mansion.
The main focus is on medical supplies, and in light of the lessons learned from the Misty Valley mission, there is a desire to strengthen security and protection around the Butterfly House.
The suggestion was very pertinent and received Kagaya's support.
Everyone present also expressed their willingness to do their best to coordinate and take turns guarding the Butterfly Mansion.
As the meeting ended, Uzui Tengen jumped up impatiently and grabbed Ryosuke's arm.
"Ryosuke! Hurry up! Give me some pressure! The charts have improved a lot, and they need to be tested in real battles!"
Ryosuke's lips twitched.
Why are you in such a hurry?
Everyone's here!
Are you going to have a passionate fight in front of the boss?

"Can't you be a little more mindful of the occasion?!"
Before Uzui Tengen could answer, Kagaya smiled and continued the conversation.
"I also want to see for myself how much your skills have improved. If you have no objections, let's have a friendly spar here, but we'll stop when we've reached our limit."
"My lord, you are wise! A magnificent performance naturally needs an audience!"
Yu Sui Tianyuan immediately responded.
Shimada nodded with his arms crossed: "It's good to take a look."
Beiming Island's voice was low and deep: "Be careful not to hurt the other party."
Kanae and Sabito smiled and agreed, while Giyu nodded in acquiescence.
Liang Jie sighed, knowing that this fight couldn't be avoided.
They're forcing me to pretend to be a saint in front of others!
"Come on, let's practice together."
The two stood in the open space of the courtyard, bowed to each other with their wooden swords in hand, and then moved at the same time!
"Sound Breathing - First Form - Boom!"
"Breath of Thunder·Shape of One·Thunderbolt Flash!"
A deafening roar and a flash of lightning collided instantly!
The air currents rolled and blew, causing the clothes of the onlookers to flutter.
The two took a few steps back and then became entangled again.
The rabbit watched their swift figures and couldn't help but sigh.
"Giyuu, look! Ryosuke-san is so strong now!"
Yi Yong, unusually, didn't say much and watched intently.
"This was added by Gyomei Himejima, who was watching from the sidelines."
“Ryosuke was already highly skilled in swordsmanship, and later he even asked me for advice on how to temper his body. I suppose he has never slacked off for a single day.”
"Not only that!"
Shimada Tsuyoshi said in a deep voice, "This guy has even honed the fighting spirit of the Purgatory family, and even broke through to a higher level. He's simply a monster!"
The battle on the field intensified.
Ryosuke did not use his full strength, deliberately controlling the pace.
After all, in the workplace, colleagues and good buddies shouldn't let Uzui Tengen lose too badly.
Even so, the boost from breaking through the bottleneck of fighting spirit and becoming stronger in physique allowed Ryosuke to maintain a firm advantage.
Yu Sui Tian Yuan wielded his twin swords wildly, attempting to construct a musical score.
After Ryosuke upgraded Fourth Form: Far Thunder to the Ultimate Realm and unlocked Mighty Force, he gained even more sword moves!
The transitions between moves become more fluid and seamless, often causing a sudden change in rhythm just when Usui Tengen thinks he's about to grasp the pattern.
The power of thunder struck him from one point to another, sometimes erupting suddenly, sometimes weaving into a net, catching him off guard.
After another ten or so moves, Yu Sui Tian Yuan suddenly retreated and sheathed his sword.
"I'm not fighting anymore! You weren't even using your full strength!"
He knew very well that when Ryosuke fought him, he hadn't even used the Seventh Form, which had severely injured Doma.
His own score was only half completed. If Ryosuke suddenly used a sword technique he had never seen before, the unfinished score would be wasted.
He couldn't withstand the power of the sword-shaped weapon either.
While the chart is strong, it must be built on the premise that you won't lose instantly.
If the difference in strength is too great, and you can't even withstand the opponent's full strength, what's the point of fighting?
Composing sheet music? We wouldn't even have time to knit a sweater!
Ryosuke also stopped what he was doing, and the lightning around him disappeared.
"You guy!"
Despite his complaints, Uzui Tengen's excitement remained undiminished, clearly indicating that he had gained a great deal.
Just as Ryosuke was about to go to the corridor to rest, Sabito stood up.
"Mr. Ryosuke, would you be so kind as to offer me some guidance?"
Yiyong immediately stood up and gripped his wooden sword tightly: "Sabito, you're no good."
A sudden remark plunged the scene into an eerie silence.
"Hey buddy, what's the second half of that sentence?"
Sabito understood the meaning of loyalty and courage, and looked at him helplessly.
"Are you saying that Mr. Ryosuke is very capable, and that I alone am not enough, but the two of us together might be able to do it?"
Yi Yong nodded and walked naturally into the center of the field.
Ryosuke: | ? ? ? |
You two young people have no sportsmanship and are bullying an old comrade like me.
"Young comrades, there's a fee for having me spar with you."
Sabito's smile widened: "Don't worry, Mr. Ryosuke! I just got promoted to a pillar and my salary is quite high. I'll treat you to dinner tonight!"
"Then come!"
