"Me? A high school student?"
"Yup." Shion nodded and said, "You don't have to study if you don't want to, but you can get your diploma."
"No, I am fine with studying."
"Really?" Shion was surprised by Shinra's answer, thinking he might be a rough guy who only thought to grow stronger with martial arts.
"I am interested in studying."
"That's good, then." Shion sighed in relief since despite wishing Shinra to work as her fighter, she also wanted him to have his youth, but staring at Mikoto, who appeared like an obedient kitten by his side, she felt that this guy enjoyed his youth much.
"So, can we talk about my duty?"
Yup, as he had worked under Shion, of course, he would work.
"For now, there is nothing that you should do, but you should be prepared."
"Prepare?"
"Let me talk from the beginning."
By then, Shion explained about the Kengan Ashura, its beginning till now, and all the necessary information, including the members, the famous fighters, and many others, including the problem that might arise soon.
"I know that I might be worrying, but I feel like a storm is going to come soon."
"This storm... was it started by this Nogi Hideki?"
Shinra asked as she looked at the data given by Tomoko. While he knew more or less about the story, as it was quite a simple story where companies sent their representative fighters to win what they wanted, he forgot some details, and he also wanted to make sure everything was more or less the same as his memory as he was afraid his entrance to this world would change a particular plot.
'Well, I have devoured Kiryu.'
Then again, Kiryu wasn't the most important character despite being one of the strongest, and even if he disappeared, Shinra didn't think that it would affect the plot much, as long as he didn't touch the protagonist.
Regardless, his focus was on the CEO, who made Shion feel the need to create a battle royal to choose a stronger fighter, which gave him a chance to become her fighter.
Nogi Hideki was the CEO of the Nogi Group, one of the famous companies in this country.
The man had been in the limelight, especially when he got a new fighter who made him win several Kengan Matches, but Shinra's focus was on the new fighter, who was also the protagonist of this world. Then again, compared to the characters in the world of Naruto, he didn't think that this protagonist was such an awesome character, especially when he also mastered the Niko Style, the martial art that was mastered by the protagonist.
Instead, Shinra felt like he should focus on the fighters who had certain, unique characteristics, who could somehow improve his strength.
Unfortunately, as his Manekyou Sharingan wasn't eternal, he could only use the "Eye of Usurpation" for a limited time, so he didn't want to waste it on meaningless characters, especially when he could go to another world. Instead of wasting his chance to steal the talents, abilities, knowledge, and everything of his target in this world, he might as well go to another world.
Probably, because his body had become stronger, he also felt like the recovery of his "Eye of Beyond" became faster, but he needed at least few months, and before that, he thought to strenghten himself by learning various knowleges of modern world, physical ability with the power of sciences, and the martial arts.
Those were the keys, and frankly, he had no need to use the "Eye of Usurpation" for that.
Or did he need to?
Let's see how it goes first, since, once again, he didn't want to waste his limited chance to use the "Eye of Usurpation."
"Oh, did you notice?"
Still, his answer surprised Shion.
"According to the data that you have given to me, this is the conclusion that I came up with."
"You are right." Shion nodded. "There is a high chance that Nogi will cause trouble in the Kengan Association."
"What do you think of it?" Shinra wanted to know Shion's view toward Nogi's action.
"He is troublesome."
Frankly, Shion didn't care much about the Kengan Association, especially when her group was as stable as ever, especially under the current chairman of the 58th head of the Kengan Association, Katahara Metsudo.
"So, you are fine with the way it is now?"
"Yup."
Unlike other businesses that were affected by the development and the economic situations of the world, Shion's group wasn't affected at all since whether an education was necessary for everyone and if one wanted to change the class where they were born to, they had to enter an elite university, which was her university.
The Koyo brand was imprinted on everyone's minds for over a century, and it was impossible to crumble.
No, it wasn't allowed to crumble as the government would do its best to protect it, too.
"So, you don't want to become the chairman of the Kengan Association?"
"I do."
When Shinra asked this question, Shion answered without hesitation. "Of course, I do, but this isn't our ultimate goal since what I just want you to do is just to maintain everything as it is."
"I understand."
If that was Shion's wish, then Shinra wouldn't bother to change it, but that didn't change the fact that he would try his best to become stronger.
"You might not know, but Katahara is new money. While many of us have been wealthy for many generations, our wealth is built within our generation."
"You look down on him?"
"No way, he is amazing."
To be able to create the biggest bank in the country in his generation from a Kamikaze pilot with nothing, Katahara was an amazing guy despite many of his flaws.
"However, Nogi's family, especially his ancestors, have been in the charge of the Kengan Association for quite a long time, so he might want to regain his ancestors' face or another silly prideful thing."
Smoking her cigarette, Shion was so lazy, never cared much about the twist and out about the Kengan Association, especially when she was confident in her new fighter.
Uchiha Shinra.
With him as the spearhead, or a shield that protected her group, everything would be fine, Shion thought.
Ozu Toshio was her strongest fighter, and he had been undefeated for so long, yet in front of Shinra, this monster muscle was defeated like a baby facing an adult, which made this monster to be in a trauma and significantly lacking in a confidence as he was beaten so easily, so with such a result, how could she not have confidence in Shinra?
Regardless, by then, Tomoko had explained everything that Shinra needed to know, and naturally, Mikoto listened quietly by his side. When everything was over, Shion asked, "So, do you need anything else?"
Hearing that question, naturally, Shinra nodded. "Yes."
"Oh? What is it? Tell me."
Women, wealth, status, and everything, while Shion might not be a god, she could give almost anything that one wanted.
Still, his quest was simple.
"I want to become stronger. Can you help me?"
His journey to become stronger would start from now.
