Kageno Minoru and Kageno Sora are both university students, already over 18 years old.
After Kageno Minoru dealt with the motorcycle gang, he started walking home.
At that moment, someone emerged from a corner ahead.
"That was an excellent fight, beating up eight motorcycle gang members all by himself! You're amazing, The dashing bandit killer!"
Kageno Minoru looked at the other person, who bore some resemblance to him.
The other person was his distant cousin, Kageno Sora.
"So, what do you want!"
"Ordinary on the surface, but a super powerful expert in secret!"
"Am I right, cousin, Kageno Minoru!"
Seeing his identity exposed, Kageno Minoru didn't continue to pretend and took off his hat.
"So how did you know?"
"I noticed you practicing wrist strength during class! And I just ran into you, so I thought I'd try to trick you, and you admitted it!"
"Keep it a secret for me, I don't want others to know!" Kageno Minoru said.
"I can, but there's a condition!"
"What condition!"
"I also want to be like you, cousin, an Eminence in Shadow who is unremarkable on the surface but incredibly powerful in secret, so cool!" Kageno Sora said with a hint of longing.
"This feeling... it's the feeling of kindred spirits!" Kageno Minoru thought to himself.
Since he was little, he had been working hard to become an Eminence in Shadow. In the beginning, there were many like-minded children, but later they all left him, and he was the only one striving to become an Eminence in Shadow.
He had thought it would be a lonely path, but he never expected to meet a kindred spirit at this age.
"No problem!"
Kageno Minoru extended his hand, and Kageno Sora slapped it.
This high-five symbolized their understanding... The next night.
The motorcycle gang members, all bandaged up, continued to make noise in the wilderness.
This time, their numbers had doubled, with a total of twenty-one motorcycles.
"Boss, we must find that The dashing bandit killer and get our revenge. That hateful guy chose that name specifically to oppose us! We must teach him a severe lesson!"
Twenty-one motorcycles moved forward, making a loud noise.
At that moment, a stone accurately hit the person speaking, directly causing him to lose balance and crash into a nearby motorcycle.
The dashing bandit killer reappeared, and all the motorcycle gang members rushed towards Kageno Minoru.
But Kageno Minoru knocked them all off their bikes, one by one, with a crowbar.
Then everyone fell into a chaotic brawl, ganging up on Kageno Minoru.
Kageno Minoru moved calmly among them, occasionally hitting someone's head with a crowbar, directly knocking them unconscious.
Five minutes later, all twenty motorcycle gang members lay on the ground.
The leader of the so-called motorcycle gang intended to ride away.
A crowbar flew over and accurately hit him.
It was Kageno Sora who threw the crowbar.
He didn't have much strength yet, so he could only pick on those who were alone for now.
Kageno Minoru and Kageno Sora's lives as Eminence in Shadow continued day by day.
The motorcycle gang members were completely unrepentant, still often riding their motorcycles aimlessly in the wilderness, but they would run whenever they encountered Kageno Minoru.
Yet, a few of them were always left behind.
After several repetitions, the motorcycle gang refused to give up and insisted on being wild, but they all tacitly wore helmets.
Days passed, and during this time, Kageno Sora also trained his long-distance running ability. He had to keep up with Kageno Minoru when he ran wildly, run together to the otherworld transporter, and let the truck take him away.
