Tokyo, but I'm a deceitful scumbag.

Then she crossed her arms and said loudly:

"Never mind, no need for formalities. Although you caused a lot of trouble, you also indirectly helped the Countermeasures Office eliminate many enemies. It's only right that I give you some reward."

The second half of her statement is actually the main reason why Asuka Tendo was willing to teach the fox.

Although they belong to different camps, the fox's actions are all about punishing evil and promoting good, which aligns with her values, so she is willing to help the fox out of the heart.

Otherwise, even if she owed the fox a debt of gratitude for saving her life, she would not have aided and abetted evil.

But then again…

Being willing to teach doesn't mean she'll give up catching foxes!

One thing at a time, as a genius Onmyoji and an elite member of the Countermeasures Office, she could not possibly let a troublesome yokai like a fox go. She had already bought a cage and provided a pair of socks to gag her every day!

She just felt the timing wasn't right yet, and that's exactly it, it's a matter of timing!

cough cough...

The girl coughed twice, then said, "I have to go home and do my homework later, so let's get started without further ado."

Having said that, she led Hoshino Hideyuki to the middle of the playground, straightened her face, and asked:

"First, I need to ask you why you suddenly want to learn martial arts?"

Hoshino Hideyuki briefly recounted his predicament against Sada Kunio, concluding with:

"I actually learned some basic jujitsu from a friend (Inuyama Tetsu), which is enough to crush ordinary people, but when I encounter a master, especially one with superhuman strength, I am far from being able to compete."

"Their skills are inferior, and their combat experience is also insufficient."

"At that moment, I remembered that I had a beautiful, kind, and powerful genius girl by my side. She came from a prominent family and had been fighting on the front lines for many years, so I thought I'd ask her if she had any guidance or advice."

Asuka Tendo unconsciously raised her chin.

Although it's still a lot of cheesy adjectives piled up, it sounds kind of pleasant now~

Then she said:

"I think I understand what you need. I happen to know a set of fighting techniques called the Countermeasures Room Grade A Standard Fighting Technique..."

Hoshino Hideyuki couldn't help but remark, "What a simple name."

"The name may be simple, but don't underestimate it."

Asuka Tendo pouted and said:

"This is a sophisticated martial art compiled by the elites of the Countermeasures Office over the generations. It combines the essence of swordsmanship, jujutsu, and close-combat techniques passed down from some Onmyoji families, and it has different variations for different enemies such as humans or yokai."

Wow.

Hideyuki Hoshino nodded; it sounded like it perfectly met his requirements.

"Then I'll learn it."

"Okay, but before we start learning, I need to make a promise with you."

Asuka Tendo's tone turned serious: "Although this fighting technique is easily accessible within the Countermeasures Office and isn't exactly a top secret, teaching it to you is still a serious violation of the rules."

"So you must promise never to use it against the countermeasures office. If one day I find out you've broken your promise, I..."

The girl's face darkened, and after thinking for a long time, she still couldn't decide what to say. Finally, she stamped her foot and said, "In short, the consequences will be very serious!"

Hoshino Hideyuki straightened his back and said seriously, "Don't worry, I promise."

"Okay, that's good. Let's begin."

Asuka Tendo made Hideyuki Hoshino stop, then took out a small booklet from her pocket and began to teach him the moves step by step.

After about half an hour, she had finished teaching the first set of movements—because Hoshino Hideyuki was so strong and his foundation was so good, he learned very quickly and could learn many things at a glance.

However, after learning it, Hoshino Hideyuki felt something was strange.

In his view, this first set of movements was just ordinary joint locks and punches, nothing special compared to other styles of martial arts, and some of the movements were not even in line with human anatomy.

Seeing that it was the girl's first time teaching and that she was teaching very seriously, he couldn't find a good opportunity to point out the problem.

"Humph."

Just then, the girl suddenly smiled at him:

"Does it seem like nothing special? No problem, let's have a real spar. I'll use the moves I just taught you to attack, and you'll use the same moves to defend. That way, you'll quickly see how amazing it is!"

"it is good!"

Hideyuki Hoshino then adopted the defensive stance he had just learned.

The girl took two steps back and stood still, then stretched out her arms and legs, intending to throw the fox to the ground.

Hoshino Hideyuki recognized the move; it seemed to be borrowed from judo and felt familiar. So he stepped forward to try and break it...

bump!

Then Asuka Tendo pinned him to the ground!

"Ha, you stinking fox, you've finally met your match!"

The girl's petite, heart-shaped bottom landed firmly on Hoshino Hideyuki's back, and she couldn't stop smiling.

Hideyuki Hoshino narrowed his eyes.

Asuka Tendo's movements just now seemed to have accelerated irrationally for a moment, which caught him off guard.

He asked, "What happened?"

"This is called 'inch strike,' and it's the key to this fighting technique," the girl explained directly, without holding back.

"Essentially, it's a method of using spiritual power to coordinate and stimulate muscles. Of course, you can also use demonic power; it doesn't matter."

"It can make the limbs perform unreasonable hovering or acceleration. For example, you can kick into the air and then use the force to turn around in the void, or you can throw a hook punch that is far away and then hit the person in front of you instantly..."

Next, the girl carefully explained the specific usage method.

The principle is actually quite simple; it's a compression and release of spiritual energy, somewhat similar to a rocket booster punch in robot anime. However, the predecessors in the Countermeasures Department were able to perfectly combine it with a wide variety of fighting moves, which is quite remarkable.

Only then did Hoshino Hideyuki realize why he had felt something was off earlier—it was because he hadn't learned the secret.

This is getting interesting...

"Come again!"

The fox became excited, stood still again, and waved to the girl.

The girl's lips curled into a smile.

She had just concealed a fact from Hoshino Hideyuki—although top-level martial arts are easy to learn in the countermeasures room, very few people actually master them.

Most people actually only know level B or even a simplified version of level C.

The difficulty in learning it lies in the fact that the Inch Strike requires a very high degree of precision in controlling spiritual power. If you make a slight mistake, you will not only fail to hit the enemy, but you will also dislocate your own joints.

In the girl's memory, many of her talented colleagues took half a month to master the knack.

What? You're asking how long it took the genius girl?

Hmph, it was only one day, and it was when I was 14 years old.

At that time, she hadn't joined the Countermeasures Office yet; she was just visiting. During the visit, an older man amused her with this trick, which made her feel resentful. So she practiced it from morning till night, and ended up mastering it in a single day, shattering the resolve of many adults.

Okay, let's get back to the main topic.

Whether it takes a day or half a month for the fox to survive, it's definitely enough time for Asuka to throw the fox many times over!

Thinking of this, the genius girl chuckled mischievously to herself:

Serves you right for playing tricks on me at the beginning. Just you wait, I'll smash your head into a pig's head! Fluffy dumpling! Strawberry daifuku!

ten minutes later……

"what?"

"How, how is it possible!"

The girl lay on the ground, unable to believe what had just happened.

Chapter 140 Oh my god, a man is biting a fox!

Just now.

On that day, when Asuka confidently wanted to throw Hoshino Hideyuki again, she sensed that his fist was imbued with demonic power.

The girl instantly realized that, just like before, this was the fox trying to use a short, sharp strike, but its technique was very crude and it probably wouldn't succeed.

However, you still need to be careful, otherwise it will hurt a bit if you get hit.

However, just as the girl changed her move, Hoshino Hideyuki's body suddenly swayed and transformed back into his fox form in mid-air!

Because this indirectly shrunk his body, all of the girl's moves missed, while the fox was able to take the opportunity to gather his demonic power—this time his technique was very refined, completely different from before, and he successfully used the Inch Strike!

This allowed the fox to successfully turn around in mid-air, and in the blink of an eye, it leaped behind the girl, its body barely leaving an afterimage.

Then the fox swung its tail!

bump!

The girl, who was not quick enough to react, tripped and fell to the ground!

"Uh……"

Asuka Tendo blinked her eyes.

ten minutes……

It only took ten minutes...

This guy's control over his demonic power is just too abnormal!

"Heh, did you have a lot of fun throwing me down just now? How does it feel now~"

The fox wagged its tail and walked up to the girl, looking smug.

Compared to the exquisite complexity of the level 4 Seventy-Two Transformations, the Inch Strike, a mere trick of spiritual power, is nothing at all.

He hadn't thought about it this way before, but now that someone is teaching him step by step, he'll naturally learn it in no time!

"hateful……"
