Chapter 5 Sakura vs Rachel

The Black Fox


Disagreeing with what Zero said, Sakura decided to find outThe reason why Zero hates humans is to change his view of humans. But for the time being, he focused on finding the perpetratorwho killed his mother and looked for his father, who was still alive. Before that, he invited himZero to see Silver, who promises to tell him who killed him, his mother, and why his father never came home."(It's true that from the story you told, it was from the human sideguilty, but not all humans are evil-hearted. Later, when you have free timeI will think about how to show that humans are also goodto Zero. "Even though he hates humans, I don't know why." ButFor now, I'm focusing on my main goal first. Silver, he promised to tell meWho is the perpetrator who killed mother?" He said to himself)."We'd better go to Silver before going to the Fox King," he said to Zero."Why waste your time?" answered Zero with a straight face."Silver promised to tell the perpetrator who killed the mother.""Okay, but don't take too long."Okay, then let's go back to the cave first."Sakura and Zero went back into the cave to ask Silver."Silver, Silver…. I want to ask...you know why he's not there where he went, Rachel?"I don't know where Silver went. "Said Rachel, who was sitting drinking tea."Takeo or Yamato, do you know where Silver is?" asked Sakura, looking at them."Sorry, we also don't know where he is?" Yamato replied to Sakura while sharpening his sword."We weren't given any news at all," said Takeo while lying down.(Whether they intentionally or unintentionally annoy you, their answers are always the same.With Rachel, okay, I'll just urge them, who knows, maybe it will work)"You're friends, aren't you?!" How come you need to know where Silver has gone?"Yeah, we don't know. Yes, Takeo," said Yamato towards Takeo, who was on his right."Yeah, Takeo, anyways Sakura, why don't you just wait for him to come home?"I can't wait long because I need to know why my mother cankilled," he answered impatiently"It's better if you just tell him instead of him asking all the time," Rachel said to Takeo and Yamato."But what if Rachel goes there?" Yamato answered, who was finishedsharpening the sword and now sheathing the sword."Don't worry. If he tries to go there, he has to defeat me first, and then I will allow him to go.(Rachel wants to stop me from going to Silver; what kind of place is that?he meant that they didn't want to tell me that I had to go there anyway even though Rachel got in my way)."Well, if you want to know, I will tell you why Silver left.Because he needs clarification about whether to tell you or not."Why are you confused? He already promised." He answered Rachel with a curious face."If he tells you, you will take revenge; on the one hand, he has promised.told your mother that it wouldn't put you in danger, that's whywhy did he leave?"Even if he doesn't want to tell me, I will find out myself and will continuerevenge," he said angrily"Why are you stubborn like Nakamura?" Rachel said, reminding him of his father."I'm his son. My father's stubbornness is in me now. Hurry upTell me," he said, urging Rachel to tell him where Silver had gone."Takeo, next you just tell me because the more I talk to him, the more I rememberNakamura, and that pisses me off."Yeah, leave it to me," Silver went to the Yakushima forest because it seemed like he had just heardyour conversation with Zero.A glimpse back inside the caveSilver was planning to train alone; he came out of his cave and went to the placewhich is just a short distance from where Sakura and Zero train. Hearing the conversation between the two, they felt it would be dangerous for Sakura to go there.Silver immediately returned to the cave and told his friends to keep his departure a secret while he went to the Yakushima forest."Is it worth it for you to go there and risk your own life for that girl?"Yes, after all, he is Laila's son, and I promised him toprotect her child no matter what happens, and if I get there first beforethey left, then I finished talking to the Fox king myself, representing him that way he didn't go to the Yakushima forest. He said to Rachel."I disagree. Besides, it's not sure that the Fox King will listen to you againhe said the place where he was sealed was dangerous and poisonous. What if youdid not return alive?"If that all happens, I want you to protect Sakura in my place," saidSilver is preparing to leave the cave door of his house."Okay, I'll look after Sakura in your place; I can't in any wayprevent you from leaving, but at least come back safely. Said Rachel, looking sad."I promise I'll come back safely."After that, he left; it hasn't been long since you returned.The words he had just heard from Rachel made him think for a moment; in his hearthe wanted to look for Silver, but on the other hand, he felt guilty about himbecause he had forced her to tell about the perpetrator who killed her mother, and now herlearns Silver went to Yakushima Park to meet the fox, Kingreplaced him to get information from the Fox King,After thinking for a while, he finally chose to look for Silver firstwhile instead of looking for the perpetrator of his mother's murder because he realized thatSilver was kind to him during the time he lived together in his cave with Rachel,Yamato, Takeo, and also Zero. So he decided to fight againstRachel also showed the practice results and asked Zero to wait a moment.(Silver has been good to me all this time; I can't let him do anythingdangerous for me. Could you wait for me, Silver? I'll catch up with you soon afterI manage to get past Rachel)."If that's what you want, fine, but you must beat me before you cango." Rachel put her tea on the table, stood up from the bench, and headed towards Sakura, preparing to fight."Zero, this may take a while, so please be patient."You just focus on fighting; I will watch here patiently." (I willsee once again whether he is the person the teacher meant, if indeed he isThe white aura will come out faster if he fights often.)"Okay, I will fight you more seriously this time than our previous fight.I won't stop you from going after Silver if you can get past me."This power is unmistakable, Takeo," said Yamato"Yes, this time, Rachel is serious. Do we need to stop her, Yamato? I amThere's no guarantee that Sakura will win; even if she doesn't die, her forgetfulness will be serious." Takeo answered(What they said was true; Rachel would use her power 100%so if Sakura's white energy doesn't come out quickly, then she definitely willIf you lose and die, even if you live, the injuries will be severe. What will youwant to do now, Sakura? I can't wait to see it soon)," said Zeroin his heart.Sakura and Rachel got ready to attack their eyes both looked at each other with a strong windThe speed came in an instant. Rachel shot at full speedhis sword made it difficult for him to dodge, so he blocked it with the given swordRachel from the previous fight with her right hand, while with her left,He tried to get energy out of his palm, and he succeeded. A point comes outand is aimed towards Rachel's chest. Rachel, who realized this, immediately dodged awayand then attacked again by swinging the sword towards Sakura's right. Reflex, Sakurabent down and launched an energy attack towards Rachel's left.Unfortunately, Rachel was more skilled at dodging than Sakura, which was very natural, consideringRachel's fighting experience is far above Sakura's, and of course, Rachel also has morespeed in terms of attack. Rachel launched another attack while Sakuradodged but still barely hit him. Sakura's fighting ability increasescompared to the first time they fought, and this makes things worseRachel was quite amazed at her development in such a short time.Rachel became more serious; she increased her energy and swung her sword once againLikewise, with Sakura, both of them then attack each other and dodge untilIn the end, both of them were exhausted. Sakura was hit in both arms, and her body was covered in woundsas a result of being hit by Rachel's sword, while Rachel was only slightly scratched on both arms.Rachel, who saw him, felt sorry for him, so she asked him to surrender immediatelyHe attacked her again with a much more severe attack, but Sakura insistedon continuing the fight, so he had no choice but to fight him again."See, your body is full of wounds from my sword, so you should surrenderJust do it." Rachel said to Sakura."What are you talking about? I still haven't lost, so don't tell me togive up," he answered confidently, smiling as if he was sure that he waswill win.(Sakura, this is my first time seeing your expression like that.) In his heart, Zero was already a little bitloved seeing Sakura smile sweetly.(He'sHe'sling to go to such lengths just for someone he just met)Rachel was curious, so she asked Sakura.Why, even though you and Silver have had each other for a long time, do you have to care about each other?Him." He," he said in surprise and confusion."Wha?" you said is correct. Rachel, Silver, and I have had each other for a long, but at the momentI lost direction and purpose after my mother died; she was the one who gave menew hope and allowed me to stay here. Only he wants to accept me; when you all rejected me, he gave me a second home here.""s" cond home for you? Is the cave we live in that comfortable?" Ra," he said"Yes," it's terrible, it is comfortable, even though the place is a little dark for me, this cave is finebeing my second home, I want to keep everyone who lives here."I think that your determination is strong, okay, show me the results of your training after that, you can"Go "ow, I'llI'll my signature move," sa" d Rachel"How" about this? I don't have a reliable move." Sa" Ura said panicked"Cal" down Sakura, try to release the energy from the results of your training and then create somethingmoves," sa" d Zero while giving directions."I don't know how to use the move," he "answered, even more confused."Try" to imagine the behavior of a fox and movements like a fox in general." sa" d Zero."Huh." Imagine the behavior of a fox. Are you sure?""Of "course, I'm I'me." Zero," o said firmly.(If I'm mistaken, the fox moves its hands to scratch its prey, which meansI must move my sword like a fox and my dagger like a clawthe fox while releasing energy and then moving quickly.) Sakura thought to herself.Sakura did as Zero suggested, and Rachel also used her movewhich is the same as a fox in general; only the difference is in the energy it producesmore because it uses its tail.Raikikiri," said Rachel, attacking him with an extreme electric shock.(How come I'm finished).Raiteteker," said Sakura unconsciously, whose white energy suddenly came out in great abundanceand make it move at full speed forward, slightly turning andjump a little.A clash of energy occurred between the two, causing Rachel's sword to become knownstrong slowly cracked and fell apart and flew around.Seeing her sword destroyed made Rachel salute and be amazed by what had happened.As he saw, Sakura had developed a lot.(He is indeed my sister's daughter), Rachel muttered in her heartRachel smiled in satisfaction and then decided to give up. Zero, Takeo, and Yamatowere shocked to see the surprising sight. In their eyes, Sakuralooks like an expert fighter."My sword is destroyed, which means I have lost. Sakura, you win." Rachel said"How unexpected. A sword known to be strong and never gets scratched during battleis now destroyed like that, and it's because of Sakura. "You have mysterious powers," said Takeo"Right, I admit I was shocked; I think it's time for you to look for a new sword, Rachel."Huh, you guys comment a lot," Rachel said, annoyed.(Rachel's sword is a sword forged with unique materials and unique techniques,even a powerful attack might not be able to break the sword,Sakura…..it turns out she is the person said byteacher.), Zero thought in his heart."Hey, all of you, instead of talking about my broken sword, better take a lookSakura's situation first," said Rachel while pointing at Sakura.Once they checked Sakura, she was already unconscious. Takeo and Yamatointended to take him to one of the rooms but was prevented by Zero"Move aside, let me carry it." Zero saidRachel saw Zero holding Sakuraand then laughed a little. He didn't expect that Zero would do it because,usually, he is an indifferent type of person.(Wow, Zero pays attention to people, especially those he just met; the first barIt's the first time I've seen it like that.)Once in his room, Zero laid him on the bed while remembering the conversationwith his teacher"Find out by yourself? How is it possible that the world is so big!" Zero replied to his teacher."You will know immediately when you meet that person,someone with a strong, unwavering determination; at that moment's aura,the white will look very large and pure." Said the teacher."Sakura, when I first met you, Ithink you're just a stupid girl who wants revengethe death of his mother indiscriminately. But then I slowly saw it: meseeing your sincerity when training and in battle, youshowing your firm determination, it makes me a little bitinterested in you, therefore I will be with you a little longer.
