Capítulo 18: Chapter 18: Copying the D-Level Talent: Gambling!
That's right.
If Leno doesn't act, Kuina, caught off guard, will be stabbed and fall down the stairs.
Is this the cause of her death?
Kuina lowered her head, feeling as if she'd done something wrong, and said, "I... I don't know, he is my uncle, I thought…"
A relative?
Leno suddenly realized.
No wonder Koushirou would cover up the real cause of Kuina's death.
Leno raised his hand, placed it on Kuina's head, and rubbed it gently. "You still lack real-life-and-death training!"
Kuina's reaction was completely normal.
She hasn't seen blood yet.
You can train thousands or even tens of thousands of times, but if you don't go to the battlefield, you'll always be a recruit.
"What happened?"
A voice sounded from outside.
The commotion in the library had attracted Koushirou.
Leno and Kuina went downstairs, explained what had just happened, and then found the sloppy man who was unconscious.
Leno's kick had not been light.
The sloppy man had at least seven or eight broken ribs.
Koushirou picked up the open wooden box, carefully gathered the scattered jewelry, and put them away one by one with a look of nostalgia.
"That's my mother's keepsake!" Kuina whispered.
"My uncle is a gambler. He left the village two years ago and disappeared. I didn't expect him to come back to the dojo to steal."
"It's good that you're okay!" Leno smiled.
He had solved a mystery, successfully rescued Kuina, and changed her fate—feeling a strong sense of accomplishment!
[Ding! You defeated your opponent and scanned for Talent: Gambling (Grade D)]
[Successfully copied talent]
[Talent introduction: Your proficiency in all kinds of gambling-related games will increase by 20%]
A system prompt sounded.
Gambling?
Who would have thought he could copy a talent?
There were no other options, which meant this was his only talent.
But the strength was too low, right?
Only D grade?
No wonder he was so sloppy, coming to steal his niece's keepsakes. He must have been a terrible gambler who lost everything and had nowhere to turn.
A rotten gambler with red eyes can do anything.
Family shame shouldn't be publicized.
After thanking Leno, Koushirou took the sloppy man away.
Kuina was very grateful.
She cooked a meal for Leno herself.
According to her, the sloppy man wasn't trying to kill her.
He was just frightened and wanted to escape, so he made that move.
But that was no reason to forgive him.
Leno never saw that man again after that day, though how Koushirou handled it remained unknown.
Two days passed.
Koushirou found Leno.
Zoro and Saka were fighting fiercely.
"Zoro, don't just use brute force—use your brain, idiot!"
Saka taunted Zoro.
Leno, half-mocking and half-advising, called out, "Now he not only trains himself but also coaches Kuina and Zoro."
[Sword Heart] talent allowed him to see their weaknesses and inadequacies.
"Damn it, shut up!"
Zoro was annoyed, panting as he swung two bamboo swords and rushed toward Saka.
Koushirou smiled.
Though noisy, everyone's relationship was quite good.
The vitality of youth!
He sighed inwardly.
"Leno, come here."
Koushirou handed Leno a list.
"These are the materials used for forging the sword. My father said that since it's your sword, it would be better if you participated."
"There will be a merchant ship passing by tomorrow morning. Go to Glass Ball Island. Visit Weapon Street and find the owner of Muramasa Swords Shop. He'll help you!"
"Oh, and take Kuina with you! You're right; she needs exercise. Would you help her?"
Leno was surprised.
It seemed that Kuina's near-death experience had changed Koushirou's mind.
Glass Ball Island.
It's the birthplace of East Blue pop culture, also known as the Island of Fashion and the Island of Art.
The island lives up to its name.
A giant glass ball covers the island's center, and the architectural style is primarily spherical.
Residents dress in avant-garde, hot, and bold styles, with people dancing and singing on the streets.
The bustling streets are lined with well-developed businesses.
Leno felt as if he had traveled from ancient times to modernity.
Shimotsuki Village was an ancient countryside, quiet and distant.
Glass Ball Island was a modern city, lively and luxurious.
"Leno, look! The main store of DOSKOIPANDA!"
Kuina pointed ahead.
Several flags fluttered in the wind.
The flags were embroidered with a panda standing upright and clenching its fists.
Above and below were the words "DOSKOI" and "PANDA."
It's the world's trendy brand and popular benchmark sought after by Celestial Dragons, royal families, and commoners alike.
DOSKOIPANDA!
How hot is it?
It's the clothing supplier designated by the Celestial Dragons.
Charlotte Linlin has a special storage room to store the brand's popular models every season.
She even raised a rare panda who likes sumo wrestling.
DOSKOIPANDA stores are found worldwide, and it seems like wherever there's an island, there's a DOSKOIPANDA store.
Even Kuina had said that if she came to Glass Ball Island, she had to shop at its main store.
Her favorite gift was a set of clothes from this brand that her mother had bought her for her birthday one year.
The dojo's library had fashion magazines featuring the brand.
The influence is terrifying.
After half a day.
Leno and Kuina walked out of the main store of DOSKOIPANDA.
They had completely changed their outfits from head to toe.
Clothes make the man.
With the help of an in-store fashion consultant, Leno and Kuina looked completely different.
Leno looked handsome and sunny, while Kuina looked a little cold but much cuter.
Kuina also planned to buy a set of clothes for Kozaburo, Koushirou, and Zoro as a gift when they returned.
Money?
Just kidding, Kuina is the eldest daughter of a wealthy family; she never spends money carefully.
Standing at the store's entrance, Leno opened a map and identified their next location.
The streets of Glass Ball Island are named after the goods they mainly sell.
Leno and Kuina stood on DOSKOIPANDA Street.
The entire street was lined with DOSKOIPANDA products, from clothing to food to hotels.
DOSKOIPANDA Street and Art Street formed a cross, dividing the city into east, south, west, and north districts.
At the intersection was the Glass Bead Auction House.
"Weapon Street is in the East District, over here!"
