"He knows Buddhist teachings or Taoist techniques? Really makes me curious..."
"And also... Hikari-kun, you mustn't get into trouble..."
Kurashiki Reina stood under the old school building, looking up at the second floor, which was constantly making noises. She clasped her hands together and quietly prayed for Hikari's safety.
———
At this moment.
Inside the dimly lit restroom of the old school building.
After deciding to change his suppression strategy, Hikari had completely pushed Hirai Hanako into a desperate situation. More than an hour of fierce battle later—
After establishing multiple footholds and using the best parts of his Vajra Demon Suppressing Technique to carry out precise strikes on various aspects and points of the vengeful spirit Hanako, Hikari finally achieved significant results.
At first, the vengeful spirit Hanako, this little ghost girl, was still putting up a tough front, trying to fight back, but later she could only passively endure Hikari's relentless attacks.
As the battle transitioned from its climax to the finishing stage—
Seeing that Hirai Hanako had completely lost the strength to resist, Hikari casually grabbed a few ropes, tied up the hateful vengeful spirit girl, and gave her a brutal beating.
"Oh- oh- oh!", Under the relentless assault of Hikari's exorcism weapon, empowered by the Vajra Demon Suppressing Technique—
The suspended Hirai Hanako trembled in pain, her eyes rolling back.
"I can't take it anymore, stop... stop hitting me...", Facing Hikari's brutal exorcism techniques, Hirai Hanako could no longer endure and began to beg for mercy.
"Admitting defeat?", Hikari asked.
"Yes... yes, I admit defeat...", Hirai Hanako repeatedly pleaded.
"Do you know your mistake?"
"I know... I know my mistake... I'm sorry... I'm sorry...", At this moment, Hirai Hanako was crying her eyes out, her face filled with terror and fear. A stark contrast to her previous arrogant and smug demeanor.
Seeing that most of the Yin energy on her body had dispersed and the dark circles under her big eyes had vanished, Hikari finally loosened the ropes, letting Hirai Hanako down from mid-air.
Smack!
Seeing Hirai Hanako, bloodied from the beating, collapse onto the filthy yet white floor—
Hikari showed no mercy. Instead, he continued to lecture her: "So, you really won't listen unless I beat you. Do you truly understand your mistake?"
At this moment, Hirai Hanako's hair was disheveled, her clothes tattered. No longer carrying the terrifying aura of a vengeful spirit. Lying on the ground, she looked like a bullied girl. She pitifully lifted her little head and nodded in agreement, "Yes, I really know my mistake."
Hikari asked again, "Will you dare to harm innocent girls again?"
Hirai Hanako frantically shook her head, "I won't, I won't!"
After humbly begging for mercy a few more times, Hirai Hanako then said, "Hikari-kun, Hanako is willing to become your subordinate... No, your slave. Hanako is willing to be your servant, following your every command, obeying you unconditionally!"
"Oh?", Hearing this, Hikari gave Hirai Hanako an unexpected glance.
Sensing that Hikari was skeptical of her words, Hirai Hanako quickly added, "I can bind my soul to you. The moment you will it, I will die."
"But, if I become your servant, I have one condition."
"That is—you must help me take revenge on those who killed me back then and make them suffer the punishment they deserve."
Hearing Hirai Hanako's words, Hikari pondered for a moment.
To be fair, having a vengeful spirit like Hirai Hanako as a servant wouldn't be bad.
After all, although she wasn't his match in direct combat—
That was because Hikari was simply too strong.
Hirai Hanako was fundamentally immune to physical attacks, meaning that most weapons in human society, swords, guns, clubs, etc. were ineffective against her.
Walking on walls, passing through walls, floating, these were just daily occurrences for her.
So, if she really became an ally, it wouldn't be a bad thing.
Moreover, Hirai Hanako seemed quite sincere, even willing to bind her soul to him, essentially placing her life in his hands.
And her request wasn't too unreasonable.
According to urban legends, the toilet bound Hanako appeared because she had been cruelly murdered in the restroom by a group of girls. The intense resentment led to her transformation into a vengeful spirit.
However, after pondering for a while—
Hikari suddenly lowered his head and shouted, "Hmph! Trying to escape?"
It turned out that Hirai Hanako had no intention of genuinely submitting to him.
She was merely pretending to surrender while secretly preparing to flee.
While Hikari was lost in thought, the pitiful-looking Hirai Hanako had been silently setting up her escape.
The moment she moved, she darted several meters away, heading straight for the last stall in the restroom.
Although Hirai Hanako was cunning and her burst speed was fast—
Hikari had remained slightly vigilant, never fully trusting this vengeful spirit fueled by resentment.
Moreover, in terms of speed, he wasn't necessarily slower than Hirai Hanako.
So just as Hirai Hanako was about to slip into the restroom stall—
Hikari grabbed her pale, slender arm.
Just as he was about to drag the naked, still-dripping Hirai Hanako back—
She gritted her teeth and severed her own arm.
Hikari pulled back only an arm, while Hirai Hanako turned into black smoke and slipped into the stall.
BANG!
Hikari kicked open the stall door.
But inside, it was completely empty. Hirai Hanako was nowhere to be seen.
Hikari guessed that this stall led to another dimension, similar to a three-dimensional and four-dimensional space. Hirai Hanako had likely hidden inside.
He tried several methods, but none could force her out.
It seemed that to drag her out, he would either need to strengthen his power enough to shatter that hidden space or acquire some special tool.
At that moment, from the empty stall, Hirai Hanako's voice rang out. Clear yet hoarse from being tormented, filled with shame and resentment.
"Hikari! How dare you do such disgusting things to me!"
"I, Hirai Hanako, have never suffered such humiliation in my life!"
"Just you wait! I will take revenge on you!"
"I will return every bit of humiliation you gave me!"
Hearing this sudden voice from the empty stall—
An ordinary person would probably be scared to death.
But having just played the role of Exorcist and brutally exorcised Hirai Hanako, Hikari naturally wasn't afraid.
Faced with Hirai Hanako's threats, Hikari just chuckled, "Alright, I'll be waiting."
Since he couldn't drag her out, he let it be.
Besides, he had already gravely wounded her, making it impossible for her to cause trouble in the short term.
However, this arrogant little ghost girl was really something—
She had just been ruthlessly disciplined by him, crying out "daddy" and "big brother" while begging for mercy. And now, she dared to throw out harsh words again.
It really left him speechless.
But Hikari was not afraid in the slightest.
Don't be fooled by how, at the beginning, he and Hanako had fought evenly, going back and forth. That was only because he had no prior experience dealing with ghosts and strange beings.
Now that he had gained experience, if they fought again, even if Hirai Hanako were at full strength, he estimated that, with his Vajra Demon Suppressing Technique and Vajra Demon-Suppressing Schlong, he could take her down in less than ten rounds.
Moreover, Hanako saying "just you wait" probably meant she intended to recover through cultivation before coming back for revenge.
But with the existence of the Pure Love System, Hikari was confident that his rate of improvement would be much faster than that of a vengeful spirit like Hanako.
Give it another week or so, and his physique would strengthen even further.
He might not even need the Vajra Demon-Subduing Technique to pummel Hanako by then.
In fact, by that time, dragging Hanako out of the spirit realm where she hid might not even be a dream.
Of course, every skill has its specialization. When dealing with a vengeful spirit like Hanako, using the Vajra Demon-Subduing Technique was still the most efficient way.
The exorcism he had just performed using his own body had been quite satisfying.
Although he had already made Hanako clean up with her mouth just now, he still wanted to counter her arrogant taunts from when she had hidden away.
So Hikari did another quick cleanse and deliberately shook things up near the last stall in the restroom, where Hanako had been hiding.
Seeing his actions, and the terrifying weapon that had previously beaten her up so badly—
From the seemingly empty stall, there came a series of furious, shuddering gasps.
It seemed Hanako was angrily taking deep breaths.
Hikari stood there and waited for a while.
But clearly, despite her rage at his provocation—
She had just been taught a lesson.
There was no way Hanako would dare show herself again.
Hikari turned and swaggered out of the restroom.
[Ding! The host has successfully defeated the vengeful spirit Hirai Hanako, severely crushing the arrogance of evil, preventing countless innocent girls from being harmed, and greatly upholding the spirit of pure love!]
[Reward obtained: +500 Pure Love Points!]
Just as he stepped out of the restroom, Hikari heard the system's voice in his mind.
Sure enough, the reward was quite generous.
A whopping 500 points in one go.
That alone made all his effort fighting Hanako worthwhile, even if he had sacrificed some of his precious, albeit renewable, spiritual essence.
After checking the system rewards, Hikari walked out of the old school building.
He had planned to head straight home.
But after taking a few steps, he noticed a slightly trembling figure leaning against a tree, seemingly waiting for him.
As soon as this person saw him, she quickly walked toward him.
Hikari took a closer look and saw that this golden-haired silhouette was none other than the queen-like Kurashiki Reina.
"You're still here? Haven't gone home yet?", Hikari asked in surprise.
Seeing him safely emerge from the old school building, Kurashiki Reina's face lit up with excitement as she approached.
Hearing his question, she replied, "I… I was a little worried about you."
"After all, Hikari-kun, you saved me. If I just left you behind and ran off on my own, that would be… really ungrateful."
"But I was still scared… and I didn't want to be a burden or cause trouble for you, so I didn't dare go inside. I decided to wait for you here instead…"
Hearing her words, Hikari glanced at her in surprise.
Though this rich young lady had a rather nasty personality, one that could even be called arrogant and self-important, she did have her redeeming qualities.
Thinking about how she had wet herself in fear earlier, yet still endured her terror to wait for him here, it probably wasn't easy for her.
"Well, thanks for waiting for me," Hikari said casually.
