Around eight o'clock, everyone gradually got up.

Yawning, Hiratsuka Shizuka came out of the guest room, washed up, and went downstairs.

Just then, Luo Bai came out of the kitchen carrying a plate of steamed buns and said to Hiratsuka Shizuka, "Good morning, Hiratsuka-sensei. How was your rest?"

Good morning, you had a good rest.

"That's good. Come and have breakfast with us."

Everyone sat down together and happily ate breakfast.

Hiratsuka Shizuka picked up a steamed bun, took a bite, and said with satisfaction, "Oh! It's pork and scallion filling. Your family's breakfast is always different."

Luo Bai said with a smile, "After all, there are many kinds of fillings that can be made for steamed buns."

"And dumplings too!"

Hoshino Ai happily picked up a dumpling, dipped it in vinegar, and put it in her mouth. While chewing, she said, "Compared to steamed buns, I still prefer dumplings with thin skin!"

Hiratsuka Shizuka looked at the various breakfasts in front of her: steamed buns, dumplings, pan-fried dumplings, spring rolls, congee with preserved egg and lean pork, fried dough sticks, and fruit salad—it had everything imaginable.

"You have a large family, and you need this much for breakfast. If you hadn't learned magic, it would probably take you a long time to make a meal, right?"

Taking a sip of coffee, Luo Bai nodded and said, "Indeed, if we were to do it ourselves, even if the four of us—Shinobu, Yukino, and Mai—worked together, it would still take a long time. Now that we have magic, it's so much more convenient. As long as we buy more tools and have enough space, we can process all the ingredients at once. All we have to do is the final cooking steps. Even tasks like making steamed buns and dumplings can now be done with magic after testing. So, teacher, would you like to learn? If you do, I can teach you. With your talent, Hiratsuka-sensei, you should be able to learn it."

"Magic? Forget about it. I live alone, and even if I cook for myself, I don't have the workload of you guys."

As she spoke, Hiratsuka Shizuka took a sip of the delicious century egg and lean pork congee.

"Besides, I still have breathing techniques to practice, so I don't have that much energy to spare. And I also have school work to do; being a teacher is very busy."

That's true. Hiratsuka Shizuka is usually busy preparing lessons, and as a homeroom teacher, she also has to manage various matters in the class. In addition, if she wants to be promoted, she also has various academic tasks as a teacher to do.

Then there's the blind date, and the breathing technique I've learned, so there really isn't any spare time to learn magic.

Compared to breathing techniques, magic is indeed more difficult to learn and requires more time.

Oguri Hat then said, "Yes, just like when we racehorses practice running, there are many different running styles, such as leading, following, centering, and chasing, and there are many sub-styles within each of these. Each racehorse girl has her own suitable and unsuitable running styles, and only by choosing the style that suits her can she bring out her full potential."

Hiratsuka Shizuka chuckled and snapped her fingers: "That's right, I've had that thought too. Magic and stuff really don't suit me!"

Seeing Hiratsuka Shizuka's expression, Luo Bai didn't continue.

Just as she said, everyone has their own preferences.

Volume 1: Chapter 505 Training (1/2)

After breakfast, everyone ate together and then headed to the base.

When they arrived, Uzui Tengen was waiting for them with his three wives.

Since it's the weekend, there aren't many people at the base, which makes it convenient for everyone to train here.

Leading everyone to the training ground, Uzui Tengen said, "Alright, if you want to practice broom flying, then do it here. And Yukino, are you sure you want to spar with Hinatsuru and the others?"

Yukino said confidently, "Having trained to this level, it would be a waste not to continue improving, wouldn't it?"

"Hahaha!" Uzui Tengen laughed heartily. "Indeed, and you are indeed very talented. So, let's head to the indoor training grounds. Hina Tsuru, I'm leaving her to you. And Luo Bai, how about you come and practice your skills after all this time?"

Luo Bai smiled and said, "Sure, let's get moving!"

After agreeing, Luo Bai looked at Yang Nai and the others and said, "You can practice here from now on, but don't fly too high at first, okay? I'll be there in a bit."

Everyone nodded in unison, then excitedly took out their brooms and began preparing for flight training.

Hiratsuka Shizuka followed Luo Bai and the others to the indoor training hall.

After changing into their training uniforms, unlike Yukino and the others who used wooden swords, Luo Bai and Uzui Tengen used real swords and stood on another training field.

After a quick warm-up, Luo Bai drew his Nichirin Blade, looked at Uzui Tengen wielding two swords in front of him, and said with a smile, "Then, Brother Tengen, let's begin."

Uzui Tengen nodded excitedly, "Come on, you go first!"

Luo Bai nodded, and then without hesitation unleashed the Breath of the Sun, charging towards Yu Zui Tengen.

"Breath of the Sun, Waltz!"

A dazzling blade of light, imbued with flames, slashed towards Yuzui Tengen at incredible speed.

Yuzui Tengen remained completely calm, holding his twin swords in front of him and relying on his own powerful strength to withstand Luo Bai's attack.

However, Uzui Tengen's body involuntarily retreated nearly a meter.

Gritting his teeth, Yuzui Tianyuan used all his strength to push Luo Bai away, and then began his counterattack.

"Sound Breathing, First Form: Boom!"

With a loud bang, the slash exploded in front of Yuzui Tengen, forcing Luo Bai to retreat and create distance.

After standing still, the ground in front of Uzui Tengen

The top was also blasted open with a large hole.

Luo Bai laughed and said, "The destructive power of Sound Breathing is still so exaggerated. Well then, I'll continue."

For the next five minutes, Hiratsuka Shizuka watched as Luo Bai and Uzui Tengen went back and forth at an incredibly fast pace, engaging in a non-stop offensive and defensive exchange, leaving her completely stunned.

As for the match between Yukino and Hinatsuru on the other side, it wasn't as intense as the one between Luo Bai and Yukino. However, for Yukino, the difficulty and pressure of this match were definitely much greater than the sparring with Kanao in the morning.

Although she had witnessed Hinatsuru's fighting style before, this was the first time she had faced it in person, which required Yukino to think more and keep up with her physical reactions.

When Luo Bai and Yu Zui Tengen finished their sparring session, Yukino's session also ended.

The result was obvious: Yukino was no match for Hinatsuru at this stage and ultimately lost.

However, looking at Yukino sitting on the ground panting heavily, Hinatsuru said admiringly, "Not bad. Even when faced with a difference in strength, you didn't give up and kept thinking about how to deal with it. Yukino, you really have the talent of a warrior."

Yukino smiled and shook her head: "I don't need to be a warrior. I just want to have some ability to protect myself. After all, I can't always rely on Luo Bai for protection."

At this moment, Luo Bai and Yu Zui Tianyuan also came over.

Luo Bai came to Yukino's side, handed her a towel, and asked, "How are you feeling?"

"A lot of pressure."

Taking the towel and wiping her sweat, Yukino stood up and said, "But I also felt that I had improved during the battle just now, which was pretty good."

Luo Bai smiled and said, "It seems you haven't encountered any setbacks. That's good. So, shall we continue?"

Yukino nodded and said, "Okay, continue. Hinatsuru-nee, I'll have to trouble you again later."

Hinatsuru smiled and said, "It's alright. We're usually in charge of training the team members. Compared to those guys, Yukino, you're so much smarter. We don't even need to point things out; you figure things out and improve on your own. So, take a 20-minute break, and let Makiyo handle the second match."

Standing next to Hinatsuru, the second eldest sister, Maki, excitedly said, "I've been waiting for this for ages! Yukino, be prepared, I'll be even stricter than Hinatsuru!"

Luo Bai didn't need to supervise Yukino's training much, so after spending some time with her, he went outside, while Hiratsuka Shizuka stayed behind.

Once outside, Luo Bai saw everyone riding their brooms, conducting flight training about three meters above the ground.

Upon seeing Luo Bai emerge, Hoshino Ai immediately turned around happily, mounted her broom, and flew to Luo Bai's side.

"Brother Luo Bai, you're out! Can we move up a bit now?"

Seeing everyone's anticipation, Luo Bai smiled and nodded, "Alright, then fly higher, but don't fly outside the base's boundaries. If you fly outside, the barrier won't protect you."

"Okay, okay! Take off!!!"

After receiving Luo Bai's permission, everyone excitedly flew towards the higher sky.

Luo Bai smiled helplessly upon seeing this, and then followed, watching over everyone in the sky to prevent any accidents.

An hour later, everyone's flight training ended, and Yukino's combat training also ended. Because she was exhausted, Yukino took a shower and had Shinobu Kocho give her a massage before coming to the cafeteria for lunch with everyone.

The food in the canteen at the base is delicious; it's all prepared by top chefs, and even Luo Bai and his group can't find anything wrong with it.

Everyone chose their favorite food, carried their lunch, found a seat, and began to eat.

Looking at the large bowl of ramen in front of her, Hiratsuka Shizuka couldn't help but swallow hard: "I didn't expect there to be a ramen master here! This ramen tastes amazing!"

Hinatsuru, on the other side, said with a smile, "Since Hiratsuka-sensei likes the food here, how about changing jobs? With your abilities, you could do very well anywhere, right? Why don't you join us?"

"Hahaha, trying to poach my boyfriend?"

Hiratsuka Shizuka said nonchalantly, "Forget about that, I still prefer being a teacher."

As he spoke, he picked up his chopsticks and began to eat heartily.

Volume 1: Chapter 506 Marriage? Sima Weizhi, who came to freeload (2/2)

After lunch, everyone went to the orphanage in Chiba where the cursed children were being settled. The Uzui Tengen family also went along.

Watching the three children, Hina and Tsuru, playing happily with the kids, Luo Bai smiled and looked at Uzui Tengen beside him: "When are you planning to have children?"

"Child?"

Yu Zui Tianyuan replied with a smile, "We have indeed discussed this matter recently and have begun preparations. If all goes well, you should be able to meet next year. It's just a pity that Luo Bai and you are still a long way off, otherwise I would really like to form a marriage alliance with your family."

Luo Bai shrugged and said with a sigh, "It's really too early for us. If we're talking about the fastest, it'll probably be Yang Nai and my child, but we'll have to wait a year or two before considering that. But then again, our two families won't only have one or two children in the future, so there's still a chance, isn't there?"

"Haha, that's right, that's right, there will definitely be opportunities in the future!"

Uzui Tengen happily patted Luo Bai on the shoulder.

"Brother Luo Bai, Brother Tian Yuan, what are you talking about? Why don't you go play with the kids?"

Just then, Hoshino Ai jogged over, looking at the two of them curiously.

Yu Zui Tianyuan stroked his chin and said, "Oh, that? Just now, Luo Bai asked me when I planned to have children, and then we talked about the possibility of our two families becoming related by marriage. Speaking of which, how many children does Xiao Ai plan to have for Luo Bai in the future?"

"Ugh?"

Hoshino Ai's face instantly turned bright red.

Covering her burning cheeks, Hoshino Ai said with a vacant look in her eyes, "Um, if Brother Luo Bai wants, any number is fine... Ah!"

No sooner had he finished speaking than Luo Bai lightly tapped him on the head with his fist.

"You silly girl, stop thinking nonsense. If you want to have a baby, you'll have to wait another six or seven years. It's a long way off."

"Woo!!!"

Hoshino Ai also remembered her age and puffed out her cheeks in frustration.

Luo Bai dared not continue on this topic. He gently pinched Hoshino Ai's cheek, then led her and Uzui Tengen over to the children and played games with them.

As evening approached, everyone left the orphanage, including the Holy Emperor, who had arrived that morning.

After saying goodbye to the Uzui Tengen family and Hiratsuka Shizuka, Luo Bai and the others drove back to the villa. Sei Tenko was also dragged along by Hoshino Ai.

I had only been home for a few minutes when Sima Miori and Tendo Kisara arrived. The two of them had been busy with things at Sima Heavy Industries today, so they hadn't come over.

As soon as they entered the villa, Sima Weizhi happily waved her folding fan and said to everyone, "Good afternoon! We've come to freeload a meal, and I've even brought some high-quality ingredients!"

Behind them, several employees from Sima Heavy Industry carried in several large boxes.

"These are all fresh, premium-grade vegetables that were just delivered today."

We have some premium meats; let's all have a delicious meal together tonight!

Looking at the ingredients, Luo Bai said helplessly, "I feel a little embarrassed that you always bring so much stuff when you come here."

Sima Weizhi smiled and said, "After all, I'm here as a guest to freeload, so naturally I can't just eat and drink for free."

After putting the items down, the Sima Heavy Industries staff left, while Luo Bai and Kocho Shinobu took the ingredients to the kitchen and began processing them.

Little Chestnut Hat also came over at this moment. Looking at the large crab that Luo Bai took out of the freezer, she swallowed her saliva greedily: "Trainer, what are you planning to do with this?"

After thinking for a moment, Luo Bai said, "There's a lot of food. I plan to make one steamed dish and one spicy dish. What do you think, Little Chestnut Hat? There's also some miscellaneous seafood, so let's make a big platter."

Little Chestnut nodded repeatedly, looking very excited, and said, "It must be delicious, Trainer, I'll help too!"

"Okay, then Little Chestnut Hat, you can help me deal with these crabs. Let's clean them first."

"Well, leave it to me!"

While they were busy preparing dinner, the others in the living room were chatting together.

After listening to everyone's stories from today, Sima Miori chuckled and said, "Ah~~ That's great. As long as those children are happy, that's all that matters. I'll go visit them when I have time. After all, the elementary school they're going to attend was contracted out by our Sima family and the Yukinoshita family. And it's not just in Chiba; we built several schools in the Kanto region as well."

Yukino nodded and said, "Compared to other builders, it's definitely more reassuring to do it ourselves. These are the places where our children will go to school in the future."

Sima Weizhi said expectantly, "Those children are all very smart. When they grow up and receive complete knowledge, they can become outstanding talents in the future and demonstrate their strength in many fields. At that time, the next technological explosion should be coming."

Technological development has gradually slowed down in recent years. Although organizations like the Guardians have developed some cutting-edge technologies behind the scenes, it will still take a long time before they can be applied to civilian use.
