After both sister and mother calmed down they started bombarding me with so many questions that I barely had time to answer them all. Things like 'have you been eating well' to 'has anyone picked on you' all the way to 'how long you can stay here'. It was heartwarming to see them care so much, but after a while it just became bothersome.

It was then that things got a bit more interesting.

"Seto, I want to see how much you and your merry band progressed. Later today you all will face the group of students I taught as well as Renxue, the battle will be in two hours and I alread sent a message to them to inform of this. I talked with that person and he agreed that some actual battle experience could do Renxue some good so there is no problem there." Mother explained before she stood up and left me and Renxue to talk some more. She appeared calm as she left but I could hear her grumble something about annoying old men who can't make a single decision for themselves and that she doesn't know why she even bothers to keep them.

I know that feels.

"Big brother, I will show you how strong I became! If I am strong enough, willl you take me with you when you go out?"

"No." I said, and it is not hard to understand why I say this. Daoliu is a torn on everyone's side and he thinks of Renxue as his little treasure, there is no way he would let her go with me anywhere. Besides, in my last life I ended up losing Mokuba quite a few times when we went out, if something were to happen to Renxue not only would Daoliu flip I would also be many times more worried than when Mokuba was kidnapped.

He was used to it, after all.

"Heh, why? I am already strong, I want to go outside instead of staying here all the time. This city is so boring, all I do is train and train and I never do anything fun at all. And without even you here I realy don't have anyone to talk to." She said while tearing up.

"And what about those disciples of mother?"

"Humph, as if. Most are dumb and stupid, that Yan fellow irritates me whenever I look at his face and the girl is a harpy for sure. And they all suck at duel monsters, they can't even play right."

Shesh, that is rough. I know that Renxue is a prodigy at everything she has even got interested in, politics, cultivation, fighting, duel monsters, truly anything she wanted she could get without a problem. But as I to suffer from this I know how lonelisom this feeling is, how being bove everyone just makes it so that you are alone above all else.

I can even imagine how it would be like if she was to grew up without me around at all, she would probably grow to be a bitter woman who wants to spread misery but cryies alone.

Thankfully it is not like that.

"Sorry, but there is nothing I can do. If Daoliu said something then maybe I could take you, but that old fart probably is too busy masturbating to the image of his god or something so asking him is useless."

"Bug brother, what is 'masturbating'?"

"... Ask mother about it in a few years."

Dodging that bullet I talked with her for a few more minutes before we began playing Duel Monsters.

She used a deck focused in light and angel monsters, which gave me quite the headache since she liked combining absolute power with a high number of traps. Her style reminds me a bit of myself, even if mine had more traps involved and I also go foor deck destruction as an extra way to ensure my enemy doesn't have ways to deal with what I got.

"I activate Giant Sky Sword to banish all monsters in your side of the field. Now you are wild open, take this big brother, Mighty Angel Virch attack your life points directly!" She said in an honestly expetacular play, it eliminated my monsters and left hers ready to hit me directly.

Good play, but not good enough.

"I activate Ring of Destruction targetting your angel, followed by Ring of Defense. With this your monster is destroyed and you lose all your life points, and so I win again." I said, not even bothering to hide my smugness.

She was definetly better than everyone else at this game, but I am not like everyone else. I am Seto Dong, and that alone ensures I am the best!

"Wha...? Seriously? You had these cards set for two turns now, why wait when you could have finished me since back then?" Renxue asked with a pout.

"Oho, I thought my little genius of a sister would know already." I said, making her blush in embarrassment. "Of course it was because I wanted to ensure that nothing would stop my win. You had a face down just as well and I did not know what it was, as you used it I was now free to win this duel. Even if your face down could have destroyed my magic and traps too I still had a second plan by throwing the Kuribo from my hand to my deck to force the damage to zero. I always try to aim for ensuring my victory. That is my main reason for what I did."

"And is there another reason?"

"To see how good you are now. And I am not disappointed, you have grown even smarter and more capable. I am proud of you, little sister." I said while petting her head, but she huffed after a while (she first closed her eyes and almost melted in my touch) before standing up and saying.

"Fine, you beat me in this. But let's see who win out there during our fight!" And with that she turned around and ran, probably to see the others from her team to decide in a strategy.

I could only smile while looking at her leaving, she will grow up to do great things for sure.

Anyway, I guess I should also go find the others and talk about this upcoming battle.

.

After talking with the girls it was decided how our formation would be quite simple to understand.

At the front is Jackelyn and Xia Wu as the main offense, behind them is me in my Blue Eyes as it grants the highest maneuverability, Behind is both Lingling and Akiza with Lingling slightly behind Akiza who's main objective is to protect Lingling who is both long distance fighter and support.

As we approached the adversary side we saw that they were with an equal number to us. At the very front is Yan and Yue as an offense, behind them is Renxue who is with a fearless smile in her face as she knows she is the strongest in their side and is in the same position as me, behind Renxue is Huo Liena who has a serious face and behind her is a boy with about 8 years old with golden hair and a bow in his hand. If I were to guess he is probably the descendant to the Sheng family that those two Sheng brothers talked to mother.

Speaking of mother she was in attendance as well, standing in a palanquin watching everything as she gave the signal to start.

As soon as the signal was given I jumped on top of Blue Eyes, the other team was advancing but I guess they did not understand yet what we were planning as both Xiao Wu and Jackelyn jumped to the sides at the same time.

"Wha-?" Yan said and this was as far as he could go as my Blue Eyes opened its mouth, light accumulating in it as my second spirit ability activated aiming right at him.

Piercing Breath!

As I used this a light attack hit him directly and even as he tried to defend himself he was instantly overwhelmed and was sent flying as the light kept going and hit the Sheng kid as well, before either could do anything the two were down for the count.

One attack eliminated both of them, but that was not the end as while the other side was stunned for the most part (Renxue did not even bat an eye at this) Xiao Wu and Jackelyn moved to Huo Liena directly.

Huo Liena tried to use some form of mental attack, but that is probably ridiculous for even trying against these two. Xiao Wu was originally a 100.000 spirit beast who obviously had the mental capacity to ignore most of what Huo Liena could do, she even once told me that one of her original skills was exactly charming others which is a form of mental attack, how could she be weak against it? And as for Jackelyn, after she once lost in a fight in the Great Spirit Arena due to it she focused in growing mentally resistant by training with the dumb duo, using mental attacks against her that are not much stronger than her are useless.

I could not pay more attention to that as Renxue finally reached me while using her wings of light, her first spirit ring shined as she released a jet of light at me, but as I used my first spirit ability, Metal Rock, my Blue Eyes grew in strength and defense and blocked her attack with its body. It was still painful since her abilities carry quite the punch, but it was nothing Blue Eyes and I couldn't deal with.

Her second spirit ability shined and a copy of herself made of light appeared. The copy only had 20% of her power and could not use spirit abilities, but it could ignore any defense and attack so it was plenty dangerous.

Renxue took on Blue Eyes in a fight while I battled her copy, in which I evaded like crazy since there is no point in attacking something you can't hit.

This is one of the advantages of me being me, my body is much stronger than anyone my age should have due to the Spirit Bone I have and the many medicinal baths I took with only the best of the best medicines, according to Obelisk I am not far from being able to obtain my second spirit ability of his. Due to how strong my body is I can evade this shadow of Renxue easily enough and with Blue Eyes being an avatar-type spirit I have even less need to worry about

As we fought it was clear what the problem with Renxue was, she was not only confident with herself she was outright overconfident with herself. She ignored completely her team and focused only in fighting me, while avoiding a sharp kick from her clone I took a quick glance at the ground and saw that they had finished off the others there, so I guess we could finish this now.

Using a quick time gap between our attacks I deactivated Blue Eyes spirit, falling to the ground quickly while the Millenium Rod appeared in my hand. Renxue moved in instantly against me, but by then I aimed the Millenium Rod at her and activated its second ability, Lock, making her unable to use any of her spirit ability except for the second, which is already in effect. She did not care as she already was close to me, but when she was centimeters away a fist hit her directly as Jackelyn swooped in, fighting desire burning in her eyes as she started trading attacks with Renxue. Not only Jackelyn but soon everyone else ganged up on Renxue, making her quickly lose despite trying her hardest.

And so it finished the fight quickly, the result was a perfect victory.

And with that, I prove again that I am the boss.
