"Maybe it's because like repels like."
A soft voice sounded in Sakura's ears.
Following the sound, I looked and found that there was a person next to me without me noticing.
Ying was sure that she had never seen this man before, but his deep blue eyes made her feel inexplicably close to him.
Before Sakura could speak, Tōsaka Tokiomi had already grabbed Sakura and protected her and Aoi behind him.
"Who?"
Hey~ After all, the purpose has been changed. The level of Bajiquan practice is much higher than that in my world, and it is not much different from Kotomine Kirei.
The man who suddenly appeared was naturally Shinji. He silently gave Tōsaka Tokiomi an evaluation in his heart, and then said:
"I'm just passing by. I sensed the fluctuation of magic power and came in to take a look."
Toosaka Tokiomi's eyes instantly became fierce.
Although the battlefield was moved from the workshop to the backyard, it did not mean that the backyard had no defenses. Apart from anything else, the great barrier covering the entire Tosaka family, which was strengthened countless times by the fifth generation head of the Tosaka family, would not allow even a trace of magic fluctuation to escape, not to mention that this backyard was a dojo specifically for practicing Bajiquan, and there were other arrangements.
In other words, the uninvited guest in front of him was lying, and it was a lie without sincerity.
Tōsaka Tokiomi's gaze did not change Shinji's nonchalant attitude.
"Don't look at me like that. I mean no harm. Even if I did, there's nothing you can do about it."
There was obvious anger on Tōsaka Tokiomi's face.
"Why, you don't believe it?"
Shinji raised his right eyebrow. The next second, he appeared in front of Tokiomi and knocked him to the ground with one palm.
Toosaka Tokiomi struggled to stand up, but found that he could not move at all. The command from his brain was blocked by an invisible force as soon as it passed through his spinal cord, and could not be transmitted to the whole body. The only part that could be controlled was his head.
At this moment, Tokiomi no longer had the imposing aura he had just had, and was replaced by fear and confusion.
Fast, too fast in fact.
He only saw the young man disappear from the spot and fell to the ground before he could react. He had no idea what happened in between.
What was even more exaggerated was that there was no magical fluctuation on the young man's body, which meant that he did not use any magic, but completely crushed Tokiomi with just physical skills, which made Tokiomi feel unprecedented pressure.
Shinji slowly squatted down and smiled at Tohsaka Tokiomi, who was beginning to sweat: "Do you believe it now?"
"..." Tokiomi was silent.
He didn't say anything, and Shinji didn't care. He looked up at Aoi and Sakura, the mother and daughter.
The powerless mother held her daughter in her arms. Although her face was pale, she looked at Shinji resolutely.
Little did she know that this look that belonged only to a good wife and a loving mother was one of the most important reasons why Shinji took action to deal with Tokiomi. He could have demonstrated his strength in other ways, but he chose the most disgusting way of directly beating Tokiomi, all because of Tousaka Aoi.
Although the world line has changed, the Tousaka family has given up the pursuit of the Holy Grail, and the Matou family is no longer so gloomy and terrifying, but some things have never changed. Matou Kariya still likes the eldest daughter of the Zenjo family, Aoi, and Tousaka Tokiomi still has a fancy for Aoi's excellence as a mother of magic. Aoi finally chooses the latter between Kariya and Tokiomi, and gives birth to a pair of lovely daughters - Rin, who is in a fierce battle with Luvia and has no idea what is happening, and Sakura, who is staring at Shinji with wide eyes in her mother's arms.
The fate of Matou Kariya did not change. He left the Matou family and became a reporter, silently guarding the woman he loved in secret.
Shinji knows that Tokiomi is good enough, and that Kariya's defeat was largely his own fault and he cannot blame anyone else; he also knows that without this ending, Rin and Sakura would not be born; but he still feels unhappy with this ending, so he wants to teach Tōsaka Tokiomi a lesson.
Of course, the only person he was angry at was Tokiomi. He respected Aoi as an outstanding wife and mother, and Sakura had a unique and irreplaceable position in his heart.
"Don't worry, ma'am. Your husband is not injured. He is just temporarily unable to move. He will be fine in a few minutes."
"Really?" Toosaka Aoi was skeptical.
"Of course, I don't have to lie. Maybe in your eyes, the Tohsaka family is powerful enough, but in my opinion, it's just so-so. The gem magic passed down by the old man is indeed the world's top inheritance, but unfortunately, no one in the Tohsaka family has mastered the true essence for five generations. Bajiquan is the strongest corner of Chinese boxing, and except for the ancestor Tohsaka Nagato who has made a little name for himself, the rest of the Tohsaka family has not even touched the door of martial arts. You are guarding a treasure mountain but you don't know it, how can we take you seriously?"
Shinji let out a sigh - his words were a bit pretentious, but the content was not false at all. This was the feeling that Jewel-o expressed when he was teaching Rin, in view of Rin's outstanding qualifications and understanding and the five generations of useless ancestors of the Tohsaka family.
The cold sweat on Tōsaka Tokiomi's forehead increased. Aoi and Sakura didn't know what this meant, but he knew it very well. The title of "gem old man" was enough to show that the young man had an extraordinary origin. If you don't believe it, ask the entire mysterious world and see how many people dared to call the second magician "gem old man".
"First, sir, what is—?"
As soon as he saw Tokiomi's expression, Shinji knew that he had misunderstood and thought he was an old monster like the Jeweled Man. After all, Tohsaka Tokiomi was not Matou Zouken, and he could not see through the assassin's job skill "Breath Block". Of course, this was also related to Shinji's "Breath Block" level being only D. If it was the real Hassan, the old bug's vision would be useless.
Shinji was too lazy to expose this misunderstanding.
"Nothing, just passing by. There are three rare talents gathered here, so come in and take a look. Don't worry about me. I will leave after I'm done."
"Yes, yes." Tōsaka Tokiomi said timidly. He has a noble demeanor, but it depends on who he is with.
"Okay, stop lying on the ground. Your paralysis should be almost gone. Stand up. If you had the martial arts level of Tousaka Nagato or your godfather Kotomine Risei, you wouldn't be unable to block even one move." Shinji decided to pretend to be a master to the end.
"We are unworthy descendants and have failed our ancestors." Tōsaka Tokiomi lowered his head like a child who had done something wrong.
"Your attitude is not bad. Since you know you are not worthy, you should continue to work hard. You, Tousaka Tokiomi, also have perseverance. As for magic, I will not rest. It's hard to say whether I can master gem magic. As for martial arts, if you work hard, you may reach the state of seeking the truth in your lifetime."
"Thank you for your guidance, sir." Tōsaka Tokiomi bowed.
Shinji shook his head: "This is not the right etiquette. Bajiquan originated from China, so we should use the Chinese martial arts' fist-holding etiquette."
Tokiomi corrected immediately and clasped his hands together.
"That's right. If you have time, take your daughter to visit China, especially Henan, which is the birthplace of Bajiquan. It may be helpful for your practice."
"yes."
Shinji nodded in satisfaction, no longer paying attention to Tokiomi, and waved to Sakura who was still in her mother's arms.
