The thumb of his left hand lightly flicked again, and a slight ’click’ sound came from inside the arm guard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After seeing the maneuverability of these two ninjas, he really didn’t think he could compare to them in terms of mobility efficiency.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But if they really wanted to run, his ranged attack wouldn’t be so easy to dodge either.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ninjas should also distinguish between friend and foe, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The metal tube under the arm guard was already aimed at the ninja.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The short one unobtrusively took a few deep breaths, the earlier swing of Lann’s sword, like a tennis swing, seemed ineffective but had actually left him a bit breathless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This foreigner’s strength is tremendous!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And it wasn’t just brute force that’s easy to deal with.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ninja beside Lord Yuzi—the Wolf, with eyes devoid of ripple, looked at Lann and the purple-clothed ninja behind him, who was now limping but unable to run.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Did you betray us, Lann?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His voice was low and hoarse, speaking very briefly, with awkward pauses, as if not having spoken for a long time, leading to a decline in his language ability.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Demon Hunter raised an eyebrow, slowly loosening his sword stance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Reaching back, the second [Alder’s Rune] erupted!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a soft ’bang’, the purple-clothed ninja on the other side had his intact leg cut open this time, and he lay prostrate on the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was an outsider newly arrived from another world, able to accurately call out my name. Unless the Hirate family has already become a sieve on the intelligence level, it’s truly unlikely for the Inner Mansion to know.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lann observed that most people in Iwami Country still seem to have a spirit of resistance, surely they wouldn’t falter at higher levels?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wolf realized there was some misunderstanding between them and slowly released his East Japan swordsmanship stance, frowning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he still maintained a safe distance from Lann, walking cautiously towards his prey.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lann had no intention of stopping him, just maintaining basic vigilance against the ninja.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Since you know me, why let the other side speak to me first? And after I attacked him, why fight me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lann followed the Wolf beyond a safe distance, arriving at the fallen position of the purple-clothed ninja.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As expected, this guy had already committed suicide by poison. Every ninja is a death warrior; suicide when escape becomes impossible is very common.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wolf professionally inspected the body from left to right, then slashed down to take the head cleanly with a single stroke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You were just here, killed the person who was patrolling with you. And then encountered the enemy.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And for a ninja, risking their lives just to earn the trust of lurking fellow comrades is all within reason.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The qualities of a ninja allowed him to immediately see what happened in this area.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His tone was still halting, but at least it was longer than before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This, such a coincidence. No, normal.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lann shrugged indifferently, \"If you’re willing to listen to an explanation, I actually think I have a pretty reasonable one.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No need to tell me, we’ll go back together and let Lord Yuzi decide.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he said this, the ninja’s cold, inorganic eyes fixed back on Lann. The Samurai Sword in his hand also slightly raised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If you refuse, I’ll kill you here.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh?\" Lann showed a curious expression on his face. \"Can you really kill me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I die, you die, double kill. That’s all three possible outcomes.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he spoke, Lann’s eyebrows slightly furrowed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was at this moment that the Demon Hunter truly understood the ’ninja’ group, not just a trend from past cultural interactions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They truly didn’t care about their own lives, even if it meant dying on a futile or impossible task.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When threatened by the other party, Lann was slightly angered internally.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, when the other revealed his attitude, Lann’s anger dissipated instead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, such people have already become like tools... just like Bordeaux in the past.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a \"swish,\" the Lady of the Lake’s Sword returned to its sheath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Tsk, then let’s go.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lann walked over with a calm expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I told you, I have quite a sound reason.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two individuals, one tall and one short, one robust and one slim, cautiously and vigilantly, headed towards Hirata Manor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As they passed by the headless corpse of the purple-clothed ninja, Lann tapped his chest with the tip of his toe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just testing his luck, but unexpectedly, there was indeed something!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmm?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lann’s eyebrows jumped in delight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This texture... there’s really a secret manual!?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sensation from the tip of his toe was akin to a book, and under Wolf’s calm gaze, Lann felt around the chest of the headless corpse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He easily pulled out a thread-bound book.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Ninja Techniques of the Lonely Shadow Group\".\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Signed by a person named Oshibu Shogoro.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In ancient times, many characters were used in East Japan; Lann could easily understand the text, but upon reading the contents, many inexplicable ciphers popped up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I just knew...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A ninja speaking plainly in a technique book was indeed suspicious!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lann looked up and found the short ninja still watching him from afar. He lifted the technique book in his hands, gesturing to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Didn’t you find this during the body search?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Basic techniques of the Inner Mansion’s Lonely Shadow Group.\" The ninja spoke without any emotion, \"I’m more familiar with it than this guy.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lann pouted, understanding that he was referring to the headless corpse on the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since Iwami and the Inner Mansion had been fighting for so long, ninjas under their command killing each other to this extent was quite normal to know.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But in any case, this was Lann’s first gain in Oriental martial skills.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He naturally tucked the technique book into his bosom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>-----------------\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Lann returned to the gates of Hirata Manor, it was still the same group leader, dressed in a conical hat and straw raincoat, leading the guard duty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He lifted the brim of his hat to see Lann returning alone, curling his mouth and sighing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What a hassle... wasn’t I told to keep it low-key?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Killing one or two could be overlooked, but taking out all seven brought along... even for the Ranger Group that’s overkill!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In ancient times, no matter the location, a military force was a brutal organization, built on violence and hierarchical balance, where superiors had life-and-death power over subordinates.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So when Lann first assumed the role of a temporary squad leader, killing one or two troublemakers to establish authority would pass without criticism.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But this was... too harsh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The group leader squinted, looking at Lann’s smiling face. Unexpectedly, someone with such a beautiful face could be so fierce.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Now then, I must take you to see Lord Nogami Genji directly.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He spoke, preparing to walk behind Lann, pushing his shoulder to guide him along.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Regardless of whether punishment ensues, escorting him meant maintaining appearances.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet as he passed by Lann’s side, he noticed behind this tall foreigner.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The palm-sized railing post of the wooden bridge, upon which was crouching someone who had remained silent and unnoticed all this time!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Eek!\" The group leader first cried out in surprise, then settled down from the sudden fright.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You are... Lord Yuzi’s ninja?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Indeed.\" The Wolf spoke in an emotionless voice, \"I will take him directly to see Lord Yuzi. You, step down.\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1271,"2026-06-06T10:40:07.942Z",1,"novelbin.me","22d7dc3be2b3d4f5c6037fef2863cd514b507fb7f9848980f8b7590a4274357a","bear-school-astartes-chapter-208","bear-school-astartes-chapter-206",1043,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fbear-school-astartes-cover.jpg"]
