Legendary Soul Art

Number One never thought that he would one day relate to the person that almost killed him before but he knew exactly what she was going through.

"That's not it," Number One corrected Nami as Miss Black pulled away abruptly. "She was just fighting her inner demons. Her mind was pushing her to return back to her comfort zone which would be killing the person that made her uncomfortable but she knew she would regret it afterward."

Miss Black's eyes widened while Number One continued, "She could only distract her mind with something unpleasant which allowed her to focus on that one thing. In this case, it was the act of hugging me and she squeezed me harder with each second. I don't think she even realized what was going on until just now."

"Aww…" Nami melted at the explanation and swam to hug her sister on her own. "To think you are trying so hard for me. Thank you."

Miss Black was still stunned at Number One's words and questioned him with raised eyebrows, "How do you know that? Is it that obvious?"

"You are just not the only one who had to fight their own mind," Number One replied simply. "If I didn't adapt and change my mentality, I would never bring Nami into my life. I wouldn't let anyone near me in the past but that changed when she forced herself into my life."

"You changed your mentality in just a week's time?" Miss Black questioned in disbelief. "I'm sorry but that's impossible. No one changes that fast."

"I have nothing to prove so I don't care if you believe me. I have failed countless times yet I still managed to survive because I learned how to quickly adapt to what life threw at me," Number One explained with a shrug. "Instead of always going for quick and easy solutions, I would choose the one with the best potential results. I don't care about the difficulty because I believe I can do anything as long as I work hard enough."

"What would killing me give you?" Number One added right after. "You didn't even wait to see if I was right for her or not. You just went with the easiest and most comfortable option but we both know it wasn't one with the best results. It only made things worse for you and almost ruined your family relations. Once you start focusing on choosing the best paths in your life, you will find it easy to adapt too."

The sisters turned silent as they contemplated Number One's words in their own way. Nami showed almost no effect as she continued to hug her sister with a satisfied smile. "I'm happy with my choices. Even though I picked the hardest path, I think it's one with the best possible results. I will ride it till I die."

"Maybe it has worked for you so far but life is not always that easy. Sometimes you have tough decisions to make and it's impossible to tell what option would have the best results," Miss Black pointed out while patting Nami's back. "I definitely won't make the same mistake as before and will be more patient with my choices. For now, I just want to adapt into my clothes since I am the only one naked here."

Number One only snickered and he didn't say anything else. It wasn't easy to change one's mentality and he didn't have it easy either. He had spent years fighting with his own demons and won only because he didn't have many options. It was only do or die situation, so Miss Black couldn't be more right about her comment.

His mind was close to returning back to the times when he had to cultivate without a single Soul Art available to burn his Soul Energy but Nami was quick to distract him.

"How about we all stay in the water and get naked instead?" Nami suggested out of nowhere as she proceeded to take off her uniform. "Isn't it refreshing? No one will be embarrassed if everyone is embarrassed, right?"

"How does that make any sense?" Number One and Miss Black asked at the same time but they couldn't stop Nami from going wild. She kept her clothes and dove underwater to help Number One with his own.

"How did we get into this situation again?" Number One questioned Miss Black as he blamed everything on her. "You could just wait until we are back in the flying ship but you had to rush it."

"Huh?! You are the one who asked me to strip!" Miss Black argued back but then she blushed as she watched Nami take off his pants. "And why is it still this big?! What the fuck is wrong with you?"

"Aren't you an expert in the usage of Heavenly Feathers? You should know everything about its effects by now," Number One snapped back without mercy. "You would probably experience it too if you didn't kill your partners."

Miss Black only glared at her turn as Nami finally resurfaced. "You are lucky you have Nami by your side."

"I am the lucky one to have both of you finally agreeing with each other," Nami replied innocently while leaning back on Number One's chest. "I just want nothing but peace and happiness. Isn't it better this way?"

"Of course, as long as everyone follows the same," Number One replied while kissing Nami with a smile.

"If you start talking about equality then why are you still wearing your top? If it's everyone naked then it's everyone naked," Miss Black suggested stubbornly. "I am just adapting to what life throws at me like you said."

Number One only pursed his lips and reached to the buttons on his shirt. "I don't mind. I just thought you would have enough to look at with my bottom off. You keep saying how big it is so I didn't want to distract you."

The wet jacket of the Academy uniform came off easily and Number One sent a playful smile to Miss Black. "How about this, I will take off my shirt if you say you want to see my chest. I will do it if you want it so badly."

Miss Black immediately squinted her eyes and splashed water into his face. "Forget it. I don't want to see it anymore. Tell me what you want for the pill. We don't have a whole day."

It was just a small reverse psychology trick that let Number One avoid the disaster. He hugged Nami closely and began the operation he already planned. "Tell me what kind of pill you want first. Not only does it need to be something interesting and challenging but you also need to provide all the Soul Herbs."

"Can't I just meet him personally and pass him the ingredients myself? How can I trust you with such precious treasures?" Miss Black questioned while trying to avoid glancing down at their shameless actions.

"Has he ever met with you?" Number One asked back rhetorically. "You can't just meet my Master. He will come to meet you if he wants to. I can only send him a message and he will meet me when he has any free time. I can then pass him the ingredients he needs."

Number One kissed Nami on the cheek and suggested, "If you don't trust me, you can just give them to Nami. She can guard them until we can meet my Master. I would naturally want to introduce her."

Nami knew everything behind the scenes so she nodded without exposing him.

"Fine. The pill I am trying to make is called Soul Shattering Pill," Miss Black explained casually. "Besides the Emerald Milk, I still need to find one more ingredient. I will pass everything to Nami when I find it."

Number One found it hard to contain his emotions after hearing the name of the Pill. "Are you really trying to make a Legendary Pill?"
