The Story Of The Banished Side After Banishing The Party. The Party Was Weakened, But We Aim To Be The Best In The World

ck and easy-to-understand way, without muddled explanations.
He would also give me advice on how I could make it better.

 

It was frustrating, but he was also a much better martial artist than I was.

 

But maybe that's why I was able to accept his teachings.
I am not willing to beg for lessons from someone who is weaker than me.

 

Not only that, the environment was also good.

 

All of the disciples of the Haten-ryu have glazed-over eyes and are struggling desperately to become stronger.
I was motivated by this atmosphere.

 

It was a far cry from the antics of the Kikagei-ryu.

 

“How's it going?　Don't you want to test it's power soon?”

 

“Test it? I've fought most of the guys here, but none of them were a match for me.”

 

“If it's not here, why don't you fight a disciple from another dojo?”

 

Tao Ron took me to the other dojo's disciples and offered me to fight them.

 

Not a kumite match that would end in a stoppage, but a real fight.

 

I won match after match.
I was injured at times, but it didn't matter.
I felt that my wounds were getting stronger as I fought with flesh and blood.

 

However, in one match, I killed my opponent in a match against another dojo.

 

“Haten-ryu Spiral Palm.”

 

“Gah!”

 

My opponent was strong, as good as me, and desperate to win.
One wrong move and I could have died, so I had no choice.

 

“Haa……
haa……”

 

“You won well, Ryu.
You have overcome a great wall.
Now you can climb higher.”

 

Tao Ron says comforting words to me as I let loose after killing someone for the first time.

 

Yes ……
I have won a fight to the death.

 

This experience surpasses any training.

 

That evening.

 

When I returned to the dojo of Kikagei-ryu, my grandpa was waiting for me with an angry face I had never seen before.
Meimei was also there, looking sad.

 

Apparently, Grandpa and Meimei had heard that I had committed murder.

 

“Ryu ……
is it true that you killed a disciple from another dojo?　That's a lie, right?　No matter how much Ryu is, he wouldn't do something that stupid, right!”

 

“Yes, I killed him.”

 

“No…..!　Why did you do that?!　Why did you do that to betray your master?!”

 

“That's enough, Meimei.”

 

“Master!　But!”

 

Mei Mei is restrained, and the old man looks me straight in the eye and asks me a question.

 

“Ryu, my dear ……
do you have anything to say?”

 

“Nothing……”

 

“Well then ……
you are excommunicated and expelled from the Kikagei-ryu.
Never set foot in this dojo again.”

 

“–?　Expulsion?　I'll get the hell out of this miserable dojo even if you don't tell me to!　I have my own “Haten-ryu”!

 

I knew this would happen.

 

I knew that the day would come when I would have to say goodbye to my grandpa and the Kikagei-ryu.

 

I guess this day and this time was the right time.

 

Excommunication?

 

Exile?

 

I'm fine with it.
I have no more regrets about the Kikagei-ryu.

 

I'm going to get out of here and go to a higher level.

 

I said my goodbyes.
Now I can move on without hesitation.

 

As I turned on my heel and descended the stairs, Meimei ran up to me and called out.

 

“Ryu!　Are you sure you want to do this?!　Do you really have to betray the master who raised me and the others until now to seek strength?!”

 

Betrayed?

 

I was thinking about the future of Grandpa and the Kikagei-ryu more than anyone else.
It was you who didn't respond to my feelings, Grandpa.

 

“Ha!　Betrayed?　It was that old man who betrayed me first!　Then, I'll go my own way!”

 

“Ryu……”

 

“That's right Meimei …..  you should come to the Haten-ryu too.
I've never met such a strong person before.
I have just met him for a short time and he has been teaching me the techniques of the Haten-ryu.
I found the strength I was aiming for in him.
That's why I want you to come over there and join us.
I'll introduce you to Master Tao Ron.”

 

“I'm not going!　I am a disciple of Kikagei-ryu!　I'm Master's disciple!

 

“Damn ……
I see.
You may regret it, but you're not going to die anytime soon in the Kikagei-ryu.”

 

Yes, sooner or later, the Kikagei-ryu will disappear along with the old man.

 

And when that time comes, it will be you who will regret it, Meimei.

 

***

 

I'm officially a disciple of the Haten-ryu.

 

No, not only me.
At the request of Master Tao Ron, other disciples of Kikagei-ryu besides Meimei have also transferred to Haten-ryu.

 

Master Tao Ron wanted to expand the Haten-ryu and wanted young martial artists to join the dojo.

 

They are also martial artists.
At first they were reluctant, but when I told them that there was no future for them in the Kikagei-ryu and that they should come to the Haten-ryu if they wanted to become stronger, they agreed to my offer.

 

After all, a martial artist is one who seeks strength.
There is something wrong with my grandpa and Meimei.

 

Another year passed, and I became stronger.

 

I still can't beat Master Tao Ron, but no other martial artist can beat me.
The Haten-ryu has also grown in the town and has become the strongest and most powerful dojo in both name and reality.

 

Everything is going well.

 

At that time, Master Tao Ron said to me.

 

“The Kikagei-ryu has become an eyesore, and I'm thinking it's time to destroy it, but I'd like to leave it to Ryu.”

 

“You want me to do it…..?”

 

“Yes.
I think you should be the one to end that dojo.”

 

“Okay, let me do it.”

 

I immediately respond to Master Tao Ron's suggestion.

 

Who else but me would be the one to lead the Kikagei-ryu?

 

“Is Ryu also going to destroy ……
Kikagei-ryu?”

 

“Yeah, that's right.
They wanted to take credit for it, so I gave it to them, but as you can see, it's in a mess.
Then I'll have no choice but to hand over the Kikagei-ryu myself.”

 

I fought Meimei.

 

She was a little stronger, but not as strong as me.
I was surprised when she started to use his Kikagei-ryu techniques, but there was no way that this level of technique was my grandpa's.
It was too weak.

 

It was the right decision to move to the Haten-ryu.
If I had stayed in Kikagei-ryu, I would have followed the same weak path as Meimei.

 

And I defeated Meimei.

 

This would be the end of the Kikagei-ryu.
It feels so good to end it with my own hands.

 

“You did well, Ryu.
I'm glad I invited you to join the Haten-ryu after all.”

 

“No, I'm the one who should be thanking you, Master Tao Ron.
If I had stayed in Kikagei-ryu, I would have remained weak.
But now, I am done with the Kikagei-ryu.”

 

“About that ……
it got a little troublesome.
When I went to the dojo to receive the signboard, there was one other disciple there.”

 

“What?”

 

I was astonished.
There should be no other disciples in the current Kikagei-ryu except for Meimei.

 

Puzzled, Master Tao Ron exhales a sigh and explains the situation.

 

Master Tao Ron wanted to make the disciples fight against each other for the dojo's title.
However, there is only Meimei in the Kikagei-ryu, and Meimei cannot fight because I have seriously injured her.

 

The Master was supposed to be able to take the signboard as it was, but someone claiming to be their disciple appeared from the side and decided to fight instead of Meimei.

 

The discipld was a dragon tribe, and there were others who looked like adventurers.

 

(Adventurers in the dojo of Kikagei-ryu……?　Don't tell me Dale is there?)

 

No, that's not such a convenient story.

 

But if an old man were to invite an adventurer guest to his dojo, the only person I can think of is Dale.

 

“I'm sorry, but I want Ryu to fight that disciple or whatever she is.
Well, I'm sure you won't lose.”

 

“Fine, I won't lose, no matter who is she.”

 

“Hmm, those are dependable words.
I'm counting on you, Ryu.”

 

Wait for me, old man.

 

This time, I'll end the Kikagei-ryu with my own hands.
