Teleporting to the City of Asakura, Kanae was surprised when Shiro revealed her identity to her. Finding out that she was the infamous Kuromi Asakura who destroyed a person’s manhood quite often, Kanae couldn’t help but wonder if Nan Tian had been hit yet.

  "So you managed to get your memories back?" Kane asked while they were walking through the city.

  "Mn, it took a while but I remembered everything." Shiro smiled.

  "That’s good. Me and my mum were worried about you and your family. They could have been looking for you and you wouldn’t have known since you didn’t have your memories. But since you have gotten your memories back and now you know who your parents are, we don’t have to worry anymore." Kanae said with a smile as Shiro patted her head.

  "How thoughtful of you." She chuckled.

  "But don’t worry, even if I didn’t get my memories back, I had found some information about my family so I could have searched for them."

  Nodding her head, Kanae followed Shiro through the city.

  Seeing the respect they had for Shiro, Kanae was rather surprised. However, since the city was basically named after their family, she couldn’t understand why they would have respect for Shiro rather than the Asakura family.

  Arriving at the house, Shiro could sense two mana signals in the house as she understood that her parents were home.

  "Seems like we’ve come at a good time. Both my mum and dad are home." Shiro smiled.

  "Mum! Dad! I’m home!" Shiro called out as Kanae could hear two people dashing towards them.

  "Welcome home!" Mio called out as she hugged Shiro.

  "Oh my, this time you brought back a husband and two children. Are they adopted or are they yours?" Mio asked while looking towards Kanae and Irina.

  "No mum, they’re not my children and Lil’ Tian isn’t my husband." Shiro sighed while facepalming.

  "Oh well isn’t that a shame. She’s quite cute too." Mio smiled while patting Kanae’s hair who blushed slightly from embarrassment.

  "Can we talk inside?" Shiro asked.

  "Oh, of course, come in."

  Leading Shiro and the group to the living room, they could see Shiro’s father sitting on the sofa giving them a small wave.

  "Welcome home. Did you do what you wanted to do outside?" Koji asked.

  "Mn I did."

  "That’s good. So who are these people? One looks Japanese, a Russian and a masked one." Koji asked while glancing at the guests.

  "Kanae is someone I met when I lost my memories. She’s like a little sister to me. Irina is someone I’ve met recently and she’s Kanae’s friend. As for the masked one, you should recognise him as Lil’s Tian the one you helped when he was younger." Shiro smiled as she elbowed Nan Tian in the ribs.

  "Why do you still have your mask on?" She frowned.

  "Mn sorry. It’s nice to meet you again sir. Thank you for helping me all those years ago." Nan Tian smiled as he took off his mask.

  "Oh my, he’s quite the looker isn’t he." Mio said to Koji as Kanae was shocked at Nan Tian’s appearance as well.

  "Ahh…… the little sh*t who made Shiro pick magic." Koji nodded as Mio smacked him on the head.

  "Don’t call our guest’s little sh*t." She frowned as Koji quickly apologised.

  "Well it’s the young man who forced Shiro to pick magic then." Koji forced a smile as Mio rolled her eyes.

  "Ignore your dad. Anyways what do you need our help for?" Mio asked.

  "Oh you knew?"

  "Well of course I would know. I’m guessing it’s a similar situation as to what happened before with your party?" Mio asked.

  "Mn, I was wondering if you and dad could train these two since the new age is going to arrive soon. Kanae is someone important to me and Irina is her friend so I hope they can get better at fighting in order to protect themselves." Shiro nodded.

  "Mn sure. Do you know when exactly will the new age arrive?" Mio asked since she wanted to know the time frame that they’re working with.

  "I do. We have 5 months left." Shiro nodded as Mio furrowed her brows.

  "Only 5 months huh? It’ll be better if we take them to a dungeon then. That way we have more time to train them if we want them to be trained up to standard." Mio frowned.

  "Mn Kanae is a physical fighter who uses a katana. Her weapon was broken not too long ago so getting her a new blade for now should be fine. I’ll be getting Helion to craft her a blade later so you don’t have to worry about that." Shiro said a Mio nodded her head.

  "Alright. What about the other one? What kind of fighter is she? She doesn’t seem to be a physical fighter." Mio asked while pointing at Irina.

  "You’re a support class right?" Shiro asked as Irina nodded her head.

  "I am." Irina nodded.

  "Basically the self defence training for Silvia dad." Shiro shrugged as Koji nodded his head.

  Feeling a shiver down her spine, Irina couldn’t help but feel as though she was in a lot of danger. However, that feeling disappeared quickly.

  "Oh right, how are you in terms of fighting now?" Koji asked curiously. While his daughter is a mage, he didn’t want her to slack out on fighting.

  "Fufu, it’s funny you should ask. Perhaps I’m better than you in terms of technique now." Shiro chuckled as Koji raised his eyebrow.

  "Hou hou, are you saying you want another spar with your old man?" Koji asked with a grin.

  "Perhaps." Shiro shrugged as she decided to go to the dojo with Koji.

  Pulling out a random sword, Shiro waved it a few times.

  With Item Master activated, she can use this to its full potential.

  "Ready dad? I can assure you, I’m not like I was before." Shiro smiled as Koji nodded.

  "I’m sure your old man can handle it."

  Glancing towards her mother, Shiro waited for the start signal as Kanae and Irina was waiting by the side while Nan Tian only mouthed the words ’don’t hurt him too much’.

  "Go." Giving the command, Mio watched as Shiro disappeared from her spot.

  Activating boundary immediately, Shiro followed it up with Keitoma.

  Feeling his body freeze, Koji was shocked to sense danger all around him as blade marks could be seen.

  After a short pause, he could move his body once more as shallow sword marks could be seen on his vest.

  "See?" Shiro grinned as Koji couldn’t help but feel excited.

  "Damn why do you have to be a mage. If you were a warrior this would be so much better. But let’s see how you fair in terms of defence." Koji laughed.

  Flickering next to Shiro, he slashed towards her as she used her boundary to counter-attack since it didn’t work well in defence. It was similar to what her mother had done when they fought since she slashed after her bullets as a defensive manoeuvre.

  Parrying her father’s blade to the side, she slashed towards him once more as he quickly stepped to the side and parried the invisible blades.

  Watching the two exchange attacks, Kanae couldn’t help but widen her eyes.

  It made her question whether or not Shiro was actually a mage since this was something a mage shouldn’t be able to do. At least, that was what most people believed.

  "Neither of them have shown their true power. This is just their basic techniques and some skills. I can say for sure, that I’m not confident that I can defeat Shiro in a one on one fight even though I’m a whole tier above her." Nan Tian said as Kanae looked up.

  "Have you fought her at all?" She asked.

  "Mn…… No properly no. But I wouldn’t want to." He chuckled.

  Unlike the first time that they had spared, Shiro was actually able to fight to a standstill with her father which surprised him as Shiro was the same. After all, boundary was something extremely hard to fight against. Thanks to her father’s stats and instincts, he was actually able to defend against her to some extent.

  His way of defending against such attacks was actually to put pressure on her so that she couldn’t attack as much as she wanted to. Understanding that the weakness of her boundary was that she had no defences, Shiro understood that she should work a little more on her guard.
