Ten days, the time that Bajir had bought.

During this period, the ring candidates would be specially trained by their respective teachers. Takeshi Yamamoto got a rain-attribute ring. He was called away by Reborn to train with Tsunayoshi Shinoda.

The training location was a large open space at the bottom of the cliff. There was a river, surrounded by trees, and it was very well hidden.

"Bajir has the same rain-attribute as you. He is the most suitable person to train you."

Reborn looked at Takeshi Yamamoto and Tsunayoshi Shinoda and said, "You can also train with the Foolish Principles, killing two birds with one stone."

Bajir stepped forward and clasped his hands. "Please advise me, Kuroda -sama, Yamamoto -sama."

Takeshi Yamamoto and Tsunayoshi Shinoda looked at each other. "Huh?"

"How much does Yamamoto -sama know about the rain-attribute?" Bajir asked.

Takeshi Yamamoto scratched his head. "Is it similar to the water attribute in the game?

Blue flames? "

"… I'm completely a layman."

Bajir sighed and carefully explained to him, "Go through the battle process and wash away the blood. The rain is like a soul-calming song, and its characteristic is calming."

"Oh … I think I understand."

Reborn said, "Your goal today is to ignite the flames of the rain by yourself."

Bajir explained the experience of igniting the flames in detail to Takeshi Yamamoto. The latter nodded, not fully understanding.

When Ah Gang fought Rokudo, he remembered that the flames were wrapped around his fist, which meant that they could be attached to weapons …

Zeng —

Takeshi Yamamoto's tachi was surrounded by blue flames. He waved the tachi curiously, and there was a blue tail behind it. He was a little excited. His weapon had a special effect, as if it was enchanted.

Takeshi Yamamoto looked at Reborn happily. "It's ignited!"

Reborn: "…"

Reborn turned his head to look at Tsunayoshi Shinoda, scaring the latter. The corners of Reborn's mouth curled into a happy arc. "I didn't expect you to ignite so quickly … Then, the next goal is to use your fists to fight against Foolish Principles."

Tsunayoshi Shinoda: "This is murder!"

How could he possibly beat Yamamoto-san!

Reborn added, "You can't blame me for this. I originally wanted to let Yamamoto fight you three days later. Since Yamamoto ignited the flame so quickly, you should work harder and survive under his hands."

Takeshi Yamamoto inserted the knife into the ground, cracked his fingers, and looked at him gently: "Ah Gang, don't worry, I promise not to kill you."

Tsunayoshi Shinoda wailed, "No!!!"

Takeshi Yamamoto responded with a punch.

The sun set, and the day's training was over. Everyone went home to find their mothers.

In order to make the training effective, Takeshi Yamamoto deliberately lowered his attributes, and when Tsunayoshi Shinoda was more or less used to it, he raised them again, allowing him to improve significantly.

Reborn was very satisfied with this fighter and praised, "Yamamoto, you're really a good teacher."

"After all, he's Ah Gang, so I have to treat him with care." Takeshi Yamamoto waved at them and walked to the other side of the intersection. "I'll go first, bye bye ~"

"See you tomorrow ~" Tsunayoshi Shinoda covered his chest. "Yamamoto-san is too considerate."

Seeing his rippling appearance, Reborn did not hesitate to pour cold water on him. "Come on, he's just afraid that he'll beat you to death if he uses too much force."

Tsunayoshi Shinoda: "Can't you let me cuddle for a while more? _ (: з 」 ∠) _"

Reborn: "No."

Tsunayoshi Shinoda: "Reborn is the devil!"

The visibility of the road at night was greatly reduced. Just as Takeshi Yamamoto was leisurely walking home, he heard a rustling sound. He subconsciously looked over and saw a purple ball flying towards him.

"What's that?"

Takeshi Yamamoto tilted his head to avoid the ball. Unexpectedly, the ball exploded with a bang, turning into pink smoke and enveloping him.

Ten years later.

Takeshi Yamamoto looked around blankly and found himself sitting on a sofa. This seemed to be the reception room. Sitting opposite him was the white-haired man he had seen once.

"Hello … Hello?"

Takeshi Yamamoto scratched his head. "Thank you for the cotton candy you gave me last time. It tasted good except for the sweetness … Oh right, you also asked me to beat up a guy called Bai Lan?"

The man's eyes curved happily. "Avu, it's great that you still remember my words, but … I'll change what I said before."

"Kill Bai Lan Jesso." He opened his eyes, and a sharp glint flashed in his eyes.

"…"

After a long silence, Takeshi Yamamoto said, "Forgive me, but I can't accept it."

"If you have a grudge with him, settle it yourself. I don't know you well. Even if I know you in the future, it's …" It's not me who knows you. Maybe that him is just a consciousness created by the world with him as the blueprint. "In short, I won't agree."

"Tsk … How heartless."

The man sighed. "If they know that the future you isn't the real you, what will they think?"

"… What do you mean?"

The man chuckled. "Literally."

Takeshi Yamamoto didn't say anything and looked at him quietly.

The man raised his hands. "I surrender, I surrender. It's just a joke. Avu, you're too serious."

"But …" He moved closer to Takeshi Yamamoto, and the distance between them was only a fist's distance. "Kill him, and you'll get a lot of energy."

Getting a lot of energy meant that he was one step closer to reviving his sister. Takeshi Yamamoto moved his fingers, but he still didn't agree.

The man continued to persuade him. "There are countless parallel worlds in this world, but there's only one origin world. The man called Bai Lan Jesso destroyed countless parallel worlds and killed your father countless times. As long as you kill Bai Lan Jesso of the origin world, the results he created will be overturned. All parallel worlds will return to the right track, and the dead will be revived. Are you sure you don't want to consider killing him?"

Killing Bailan Jesuit was equivalent to saving tens of thousands of parallel worlds. The energy brought about by saving a world was enormous. Yamamoto Takeshi had experienced this firsthand. If this energy was multiplied countless times …

"I refuse," he said firmly.

The man was stunned. "… Huh?"

It was such a tempting offer, so why did he refuse?

Takeshi Yamamoto looked at him seriously. "You also said that it's the origin world, right?

In other words, the world we're in now is a sub-world. We were born in a sub-world, so why should we care about the origin world? "

Moreover, to us, this world is the 'Origin World' that belongs solely to us. "

"If there really is a man called Bai Lan Jesso who wants to destroy the world, I'll kill him with my own hands."

The man fell silent, and then he burst into laughter.

"Hahaha …" The man stopped laughing, and his eyes were filled with unprecedented joy. "Yes, that's right. This world is the 'origin world'. You're amazing, Takeshi Yamamoto."

"I really don't want you to leave."

Takeshi Yamamoto scratched his head. "This is the future. I should have left long ago, so … I still have to go."

"I know, but do you know that the future can be changed?" The man smiled mysteriously.

Takeshi Yamamoto looked at him in confusion. The man took out a packet of cotton candy, opened it, and stuffed a cotton candy into his mouth. "Let me formally introduce myself. My name is Bai Lan Jesso. Nice to meet you."

Takeshi Yamamoto: "…???"

"You're … Bai Lan Jesso?" Takeshi Yamamoto looked like he was being manipulated. "You want me to kill you?"

Bai Lan smiled. "That's right. I'm a man who holds grudges."

"The me from the Source World came to this world specially and almost killed me."

Takeshi Yamamoto: … So there's a grudge? No wonder you want to kill the me in the origin world.

Seeing what he was thinking, Bai Lan shook his finger. "No, no, no. Other than avenging myself, there's another reason."

Takeshi Yamamoto looked at him curiously. Bai Lan put his index finger on his lips. "Secret."

"… You already know that I need energy. What other secrets do we have?"

Bai Lan smiled but didn't say anything.

Sorry, for the sake of the final future, he didn't want 'that guy' to know this secret.

Bai Lan took out a purple ball. Takeshi Yamamoto looked at it. Wasn't this the ball that brought him ten years in the future?!

Bai Lan threw the ball to Takeshi Yamamoto. "Do me a favor, Avu."

The pink smoke immediately exploded. When it dispersed, what appeared was Yamamoto Takeshi from ten years ago. He was wearing a black suit.

That Takeshi Yamamoto was stunned. "Why did you teleport at such an important time before the Choice battle?"

"Looks like my timing is just right." Bai Lan nodded in satisfaction.

"… Bai Lan?!" Takeshi Yamamoto was instantly on guard.

Bai Lan glanced at him lightly. "I'm not Bai Lan from that world. I won't do anything."

"Anyway, just stay here for a while."

Knowing that there was no danger, Takeshi Yamamoto let down his guard. Then, he became nervous again. "There won't be a problem with the Choice battle, right?

The me in the past is me ten years in the future? "

He should be stronger than the current him.

Bai Lan opened another packet of cotton candy. "The one in the past is Takeshi Yamamoto from ten years ago in the other world."

"Huh?" Takeshi Yamamoto felt more and more confused.

Bai Lan picked up a cotton candy and pressed it into a flat shape with his fingers. Then, he happily threw the cotton candy into the trash can.

The me in the other world has to hold on until I'm over.

He, Bai Lan Jesuit, will definitely take revenge for trying to capture him and make him into a Ghost.

On the other side, before the Choice battle with Bai Lan began, the familiar pink smoke suddenly rose from where Takeshi Yamamoto was. Everyone was so shocked that they almost jumped up.

"What's going on!?" Jōdera's expression was not very good. "Ten Years Rocket Launcher?

There's a problem at such a critical time!? "

Tsunayoshi Shinoda: "That means … the one who came out is the Yamamoto from ten years later —"

His words came to an abrupt end when he saw Takeshi Yamamoto in casual clothes.

"Isn't, isn't this the Yamamoto-san from ten years ago!?"

The other people's expressions immediately turned unsightly.

Takeshi Yamamoto, on the other hand, reached out to grab his hair. He didn't forget to greet them with his other hand. "Hey, how are you guys?"

Everyone: "…"

They looked at the ring on a certain someone's middle finger and fell silent.

"Yamamoto-san, you … have you encountered anything special recently?" Tsunayoshi Shinoda asked after some consideration.

"Oh, yes!" Takeshi Yamamoto nodded. "In ten days, I think I'm going to fight some sort of assassination squad for the ring?"

"…"

Dead silence.
