"I can help you break the contract for free, as long as you let me study your situation," Bai Ze said with a smile.

"No need."

Minamoto No Sho rejected Bai Ze's help without hesitation. Seeing that Bai Ze seemed to want to persuade him again, he repeated, "I really don't need your help. Compared to those Sprites I've never met before, Ghost Cut is the most important person to me."

"Is there anything else you don't know?"

Although he was asking Minamoto No Sho, Ghost Lantern's eyes were fixed on Bai Ze, and the mace in his hand was ready to strike.

"Nothing else."

Minamoto No Sho thought for a second and realized that too many things had happened recently. He didn't have much time to practice spells, so he didn't have anything to ask.

"Since it's settled."

Ghost Lantern swung the mace in his hand and smashed Bai Ze to the ground. "Look at your face, I've been holding back for a long time."

After watching Ghost Lantern beat up Bai Ze one-sidedly, and seeing Bai Ze jump up and down, Minamoto No Sho decided to visit his parents.

"If you plan to visit your parents, there's no need for you to go in the future."

Ghost Lantern looked at Minamoto No Sho, who was about to leave, and then took out a letter and handed it to him. "This is what they left for you. They reincarnated after you left Hell last time."

"What?" Minamoto No Sho was stunned.

"Why did they leave so suddenly without telling me anything?" Minamoto No Sho was still at a loss after receiving the letter from Ghost Lantern.

"This is something that was decided a long time ago, but maybe they were afraid that you would be sad, so they didn't tell you." Ghost Lantern waved his mace and sent Bai Ze, who had just returned, flying again.

"Will I be able to see them again?"

Although he asked this question, Minamoto No Sho knew everything about Hell after learning from Ghost Lantern for so long. If he wanted to see his parents again, he could only rely on the illusory fate.

"You know, you're only destined to be together in this life. If you forcefully intervene in their lives, it will only bring disaster."

Ghost Lantern calmly broke Minamoto No Sho's last hope. After learning that he would never see his parents again, Minamoto No Sho left the other world in a daze..

Red spider lilies bloomed on the road to the underworld.

Yuan Zhisheng didn't summon the Blue Lantern to lead the way for him. He walked back alone.

"Hey, don't be sad Cut."

The white-haired, red-horned Ghost Cut appeared in front of Minamoto No Sho again. He looked at Minamoto No Sho and said, "No matter where you are, I will always be by your side."

Minamoto No Sho looked at Ghost Cut in front of him. This was probably the second time Ghost Cut appeared in front of him in the form of a monster. He whispered, "Ghost Cut, why did you come to my side?"

"Because I'm half of your body."

However, Minamoto No Sho didn't hear Ghost Cut's words. He swayed and fell into the sea of flowers.

"Who is it?" Ghost Cut held the unconscious Minamoto No Sho and looked around vigilantly.

"He was poisoned because he stayed here for too long. The spider lilies are poisonous."

A young girl appeared in the quiet sea of flowers. "I've seen him return to the real world from here before, but at that time, he was with Blue Lantern and took the fastest route, so it didn't affect him much. Today, he stayed here for too long, so he fainted from the poison. The poison isn't too deep, so as long as we leave in time, he'll wake up soon."

Hearing this, Ghost Cut picked up Minamoto No Sho and quickly left.

"If it weren't for Ghost Lantern -sama's face, no one would have been able to pass through the sea of spider lilies alive," the young girl said faintly as she watched the two people leave.

The unconscious Minamoto No Sho looked at the battle scene in front of him. He followed a person who looked exactly like him and watched him befriend Shutendoji and the others. Then, when Minamoto no Raiko retreated to deal with the Demon King, this person faced off against Minamoto no Raiko and died. After this person's soul was split into two parts, one was sent to the reincarnation cycle to sleep by Abe Seimei, and the other became a familiar appearance.

"Ghost Cut."

Minamoto No Sho suddenly woke up. He sat up on the bed and found that he was back in his room. His left hand was holding the bamboo scroll he took from Ghost Lantern -sensei, and his right hand was holding the sword he was very familiar with.

"So that's how it is," Minamoto No Sho covered his face with his left hand as he looked at the bamboo scroll that described the origins of Ghost Cut. His expression couldn't be seen clearly.

He lifted the blanket, put the Ghost Cut on the sword rack, and opened the door to his room. There was no one there.

Ōta Aizawa left a note on the table. Because he had something to do at school, he wouldn't be coming back tonight.

Minamoto No Sho opened the fridge and poured himself a glass of water, then returned to his room and sat on the edge of his bed.

"So, the reason I haven't been able to summon a spirit is because of you, Ghost Cut," Minamoto No Sho said as he held the glass in his hand and stared at the sword on the sword rack.

"Yes," a voice responded to Minamoto No Sho's words in the empty room.

"So you've always known about the relationship between the two of us, right?

Why did you hide it from me? "

Minamoto No Sho lowered his head so that his expression couldn't be seen clearly. Ghost Cut didn't respond to Minamoto No Sho's words, and the whole room seemed to be silent.

"Idiot."

Minamoto No Sho muttered, "It's nothing more than what happened in your previous life, so you rarely appeared in front of me after you became a big monster, right?"

"But have you ever thought that I'm no longer the Minamoto No Sho that listened to all of Minamoto Raiko's orders?"

After returning from hell, Minamoto No Sho put everything about his parents in the corner of his heart. As for Ghost Cut, Minamoto No Sho had mixed feelings, but at the same time, he felt a little relieved. Perhaps it was because he knew why Ghost Cut appeared by his side.

There were still two weeks until the Xiongying Sports Festival. Influenced by his classmates, Minamoto No Sho was also looking forward to this kind of Xiongying Sports Festival.

In the past, most of the attention of the Xiongying Sports Festival was focused on the graduating third-year Heroaceae students. However, this year, the first-year Heroaceae Class A, which had been involved in the USJ incident, also attracted the attention of the majority of professional heroes.

As a first-year student, Minamoto No Sho stood among his classmates in his battle suit and waited for the entrance to begin.

"Hmph, the first place this time will definitely be mine," Explode's voice sounded in Minamoto No Sho's ears as he waited quietly to enter.

"Ka-chan." Minamoto No Sho turned his head and gave Explode a big smile.

"Don't call me Ka-chan, you little …" Explode suddenly stopped. He remembered what happened when he called Minamoto No Sho shorty last time. He glared at Minamoto No Sho fiercely and said, "You little brat who only knows how to complain to the teacher. Let's fight if you dare."

"You can't beat me anyway, Ka-chan," Minamoto No Sho said with a big smile, but his words successfully angered Explode.

"Shinai." Explode showed a cross on his forehead.

"Although I feel that Minamoto is a bully, why do I suddenly feel a little happy when I see Explode being humiliated?"

Sanna Ashibara looked at the scene in front of her and sighed. The students around her nodded at her words.

"Bastard."

Explode's hands cracked as he looked at the students who were laughing with their hands covering their mouths. "Do you want to fight?"

'Little Sheng is being bullied again. I still feel that this world is a little fantasy. As expected of the Heroaceae.'

Midoriya Idehisa looked at Explode, who was about to explode in anger but still thought that he was the best in the world. He felt that his steps were a little weak.

Before Midoriya Idehisa could throw these thoughts out of his mind, Teacher Mike, who was acting as the host, announced the start of the competition.

The hosts for this year's competition were Ōta Aizawa and Bresent Mike, and the referee was Midnight.

"Then let's welcome this year's representative, Minamoto No Sho, to the stage to take the oath," Teacher Midnight said with a microphone in his hand.

'I'm really not used to this kind of scene.'

Minamoto No Sho took a deep breath and walked up with Ghost Cut in his hand. He took the microphone that Teacher Midnight handed him.

"I swear that the first place this time is still mine!"

And in the following days, Ka Chan. "Yuan Zhisheng suddenly pointed at Sheng Ji in the crowd." Second in ten thousand years. "

"Bastard, what are you talking about?"

Explode, who was already grumpy, felt that he was even more irritable now. If it weren't for Che Island and Hyakuchi holding him back, he would have rushed up and punched Minamoto No Sho.

'Why do I feel that Minamoto is being naughty today? He's purposely angering Explode.' This was the thought of all the students in Year One Class A.

'The competition hasn't even started yet, and they're already fighting? They're really looking down on us.' This came from the other contestants in the same grade.

"Okay, this is my oath, Teacher Midnight." Minamoto No Sho returned the microphone to Teacher Midnight, who was standing next to him.

"Okay, I didn't expect kids nowadays to be so bold. Even I can't help but feel a little fired up."

After hearing Minamoto No Sho's words, Midnight was a little stunned, but he quickly brought up the atmosphere in the arena.

"Ah, Eraser, your adopted son has such an arrogant side. I really didn't expect you to raise him."

Mike, who was sitting in the broadcasting room, said to Ōta Aizawa, who was next to him, "Does this mean that you also have a fiery heart?"

Ōta Aizawa ignored Mike's words. He looked at Minamoto No Sho and thought, 'Maybe too many things have happened recently. But if this is a way for him to vent his feelings, it's not bad.'

"Okay."

Midnight flicked the whip in his hand. "Next, let's begin the first event of the year. What will it be?"

As Midnight spoke, the events on the monitor next to him began to rotate. The last event to appear on the monitor was an obstacle course.
