Hado #1: Thrust. Wang Kai experimented with his abilities. After being enlightened, Wang Kai had a general understanding of his powers. He could forgo the incantation for Kidō up to #11, but for Kidō #10 and above, he still needed to recite the incantation, just like a magic spell. Wang Kai was already very satisfied. As long as he worked hard, one day he would be able to cast all Kidō without needing to recite the incantation.
Hakuda's abilities were more like freestyle fighting, something that could only be experienced in combat. In reality, all combat was for defeating the enemy. It was really about whatever was most convenient, just with different general methods of attack.
"Jimmy, let's go take a look at my new house."
With his newfound abilities, Wang Kai was in a great mood. At least he would be able to fight back when danger arrived.
"No problem, but Kai, I think your house should be rebuilt. Otherwise, it's simply uninhabitable. You know, Uncle Reuben was a slob. His house hasn't been maintained at all. It should have been torn down a long time ago."
Jimmy suggested to Wang Kai that he should tear down the house and rebuild it. Otherwise, it would be impossible to live in. The house was covered in mold, and the wooden parts were riddled with termites. It was simply uninhabitable.
"Of course, I have that plan too, but right now I don't have any money. Next, I need to earn some money to build a house."
Wang Kai said. He had that plan too. When he saw the house last time, he had that plan. That house was worse than a doghouse.
Driving to the house, Wang Kai and Jimmy got out of the car, considering whether to add some decorations to the yard, and then opened the door to go inside. A musty smell assaulted their senses, causing Jimmy to cough a few times.
"This place is really not fit for people to live in."
Jimmy couldn't help but complain. If Wang Kai didn't rebuild the house, he would definitely not stay overnight at Wang Kai's place.
"Jimmy, be quiet. It sounds like there's someone else here."
Wang Kai quickly stopped Jimmy, because after Jimmy coughed just now, Wang Kai heard movement on the second floor. Someone had bumped into a bottle or something.
"What, is it those junkies?"
Jimmy immediately found a wooden stick to hold in his hand, but this chair leg that had already fallen apart was full of termites. It was hard to say how effective it would be in a fight.
In this old neighborhood, there were many vacant houses. Some homeless junkies would find these vacant houses and use them as their homes. Anyway, no one came, so Jimmy's first reaction was this.
"I don't know. Stay behind me and be careful."
Wang Kai said, telling Jimmy to follow him and not run around. If it really was a junkie, there might be danger. Junkies usually didn't have guns. Even if they did, they would sell them off. But most junkies had daggers, making it easier for them to rob people and then buy things that could make them happy.
Carefully arriving at the second floor, Wang Kai could hear the movement more and more clearly. Someone was packing things, and they were in a hurry. It was in that bedroom.
"Bang."
Wang Kai still kicked open the bedroom door, while his fingers were ready to unleash a Hado to attack the person.
"Who are you?"
But after kicking open the door, Wang Kai did not launch an attack, because the person inside didn't look like a junkie. Instead, it was a girl who should be about his age. She looked like she was of Asian descent, and she was frantically packing her clothes and laptop.
"I'll leave right away. I don't want to cause trouble. I didn't know anyone else was here. I can leave it to you."
The girl quickly said, while avoiding eye contact with Wang Kai, afraid of angering him. She thought Wang Kai was a junkie who had come to take the place.
"This is my place to begin with. I just bought it. You're already trespassing."
Wang Kai was speechless. He was a good person, but it made him seem like he was forcing a poor, helpless girl.
"Skye? Are you Skye?"
Just after Wang Kai asked the question, Jimmy gave the answer. He seemed to recognize the girl, but the familiar name made Wang Kai immediately guess who the other person was. Indeed, the more he looked, the more she looked like her, but he still needed confirmation.
"Jimmy? Is that you? What are you doing here?"
Hearing someone call her name, the girl was stunned. She stopped packing her things and looked up at Wang Kai and Jimmy, discovering that the other party were actually two boys about her age, and they looked familiar, especially that particularly large fatty.
"Skye, it really is you. Kai, don't be nervous. This is our classmate, well, at least she used to be our classmate. Skye, why didn't you contact us after you dropped out of school? I still have a few programming questions to ask you. This is my good friend Wang Kai."
Jimmy also put down the wooden stick in his hand at this time, and then introduced the two people to each other.
"I've just been looking for a suitable place. Hello, Wang Kai, I remember you. You and Jimmy are good friends. Jimmy and I have some common topics in networking. I didn't know this was your house. I'm really sorry, I'll leave right away."
Skye said embarrassedly, not wanting familiar people to see her in this embarrassing state.
"It's okay. Since everyone is friends, then it's okay. But you probably don't have a place to live right now, right? Is there anything I can help with?"
Since the girl in front of him was very likely the girl he knew, then Wang Kai would not let her go so easily. He had to lay the groundwork first.
"No, that's too much trouble for you. I can do it myself."
Skye began to roll up her sleeping bag. All of her belongings were just a travel bag, a sleeping bag, and a laptop computer. She didn't have any other belongings, and she looked very embarrassed.
"Skye, don't be so polite. Kai is a good person, he will definitely be able to help you."
Jimmy also spoke up for Wang Kai. As Wang Kai's best friend, he could see that Wang Kai wanted to keep Skye, and he agreed with Wang Kai's decision.
"Skye, you probably don't have a place to live, right? I can offer you short-term work and a place to live, how about that?"
Wang Kai said. His food truck was short of people. Jimmy was more suitable for collecting money and greeting customers outside. It was indeed a bit difficult to squeeze his large frame into the food truck.
"Work? What kind of work?"
Skye stopped and asked. She really needed a job, but those jobs she had looked for before were either unsuitable for women, or the bosses wanted to get handsy with her, so Skye could only change one job after another, and she could never settle down. Now she didn't even have a place to live. This was very dangerous for a young girl. If Wang Kai and Jimmy hadn't come in today, but other bad people, she would have been in danger.
