I teach judo in Tokyo.

The old butler in the driver's seat nodded to him, and then decisively started the car.

As for Yae Mei-gen, she got off the train earlier, giving Sousuke a meaningful look before she left.

Sosuke initially thought that the beautiful master was planning to ambush him that night, but a text message on his phone later revealed that the beautiful master had simply gone to investigate the Snake Bone Society.

What a waste of time!

Sosuke and Kuno Maruko watched the car disappear at the end of the road.

Then they turned around together, opened the gate, and entered the courtyard of the dojo.

The evening breeze blew into the courtyard, rustling the familiar cherry blossom trees.

Even the air had a familiar, reassuring scent.

"It's so comfortable at home!" Sosuke couldn't help but sigh.

"Hmm... I've missed you so much since you haven't been back for a few days." Hisano Maruko beside her also showed a gentle smile.

Sosuke's heart stirred upon hearing the beautiful woman's soft, weak voice.

Xiao Kui is still at Wu Fang's house and hasn't come back yet. Tonight is a long-awaited time alone with her widow!

Hey!

He turned and looked at the widow with a smile.

It's early summer now, and Tokyo is sweltering.

For the sake of coolness and ease of movement, the widow wore a simple short-sleeved white t-shirt and blue denim shorts, her long, fair, and plump legs shimmering alluringly in the dim light.

Her long hair was styled into an elegant bun, a common hairstyle for young married women, which revealed her slender, swan-like neck. Beneath her side-swept bangs, her alluring peach blossom eyes sparkled.

She is truly a bright and charming beauty.

The widow quickly noticed his gaze and was about to ask him why he was looking at her like that when she immediately understood.

She wanted to say something, but before she could speak, Sosuke picked her up and carried her away.

"Ah!" the widow exclaimed, then said urgently, "Sousuke-kun, we've been traveling all day, everyone's covered in sweat, let's take a shower first..."

“Yeah, we’re just going to take a bath now. What else did you think we were going to do?” Atobe Sousuke laughed and continued carrying the beauty toward the dojo.

"Huh? Shall we shower together?" Kuno Maruko's face turned bright red.

"What else?" Atobe Sousuke laughed, "Sharing together saves water!"

......

......

It turns out that taking a shower with two people doesn't save water at all.

The bathroom, with the door closed, was filled with steam, and the sound of the shower running continuously for about half an hour.

The sound was accompanied by faint sobs from the widow.

It's like someone trying desperately to suppress an involuntary shout, but unable to, so they gently bite the back of their hand to cover the sound, but the sound still inevitably escapes from their throat.

After a long while, a strange two-headed figure appeared on the glass door of the bathroom. If an outsider were to enter the dojo at this time and see this shadow imprinted on the glass, he would definitely be startled.

From then on, the legend that "the White Night Dojo has a strange two-sided structure" began to circulate in this area.

The glass door was pulled open, and a large amount of water vapor poured out. As the water vapor dissipated, the strange figure became clearer.

Oh! It turns out it wasn't two ends of one body, but the head of the temple was actually holding a widow!

Well, after all, this is just a world without supernatural abilities.

Actually, the widow had been steamed for too long and had difficulty breathing, so she fainted with her face flushed.

To prevent her from falling, Sosuke picked her up as if he were carrying a backpack.

Then, carrying the widow, he slowly walked from the bathroom, past the kitchen, the living room, the dojo, up the stairs, and through the hallway...

After thinking for a moment, he realized he had forgotten to bring a towel to dry his body, so he helped the widow down the stairs to the bathroom to get the towel.

Then I went up the stairs.

Hmm, right, I should go to the kitchen and get myself a glass of water, since I'm a bit dehydrated from taking a long shower.

So he went down the stairs again...

After going back and forth like this dozens of times, Sosuke finally made sure he hadn't forgotten anything and smiled happily.

The widow in his arms was already too frightened by the bumpy stairs to bear, and almost collapsed into a ball.

No, Kuno-nee, you're a bit too afraid of heights. It's just a little height and some bumps, why do you look like you're about to faint?

Sosuke tenderly pecked the widow's lips, and very considerately refrained from any mischief. They returned to bed and embraced each other in a pure and innocent manner.

To remain unmoved by a beautiful woman in one's lap—that's nothing short of saintly composure!

That's why he's the main character!

......

......

[Virtual Trial Begins; Please Select the Disciple You Wish to Test]

In the pure white dream space, Atobe Sousuke stands quietly, with a female silhouette appearing before him.

[Optional Disciples: Maruko Kuno, Saki Yotsuba, Yumi Mifune, Motoko Itsuka]

That's right, today is Sunday. After falling asleep, once midnight has passed, it will be the start of a new week.

The virtual trial is back.

Once he realized what was happening, Atobe Sousuke looked at the silhouettes in front of him thoughtfully.

As is his habit, now that he has already fought the "three years later" forms of the widow, the class monitor, and his deskmate, it is time for him to fight the "three years later" form of the kendo girl.

In his past life, he was also a bit of a perfectionist when playing games. He wouldn't move on to the next stage until he had completely explored the map or elements of that stage.

Therefore, even though the strongest swordswoman among his current disciples might be incredibly powerful in her three-year-old form, he wasn't afraid at all.

It's just a virtual trial, anyone who chickens out is a dog!

He made his choice decisively after only a brief moment of thought.

[Disciple selected for examination: Wu Fang Su Zi]

[Five Directions Motoko (Future State - Three Years Later), Loading Complete]

The space shifted, transforming into a lush reed field.

White light gathered in the reeds before my eyes, and a tall and graceful female figure gradually took shape.

Wearing a white shirt and red skirt in a kendo uniform, her signature high ponytail reached all the way down to her waist.

A rather ornate-looking katana hung at his waist, and one could imagine how sharp the blade must be inside the sheath.

On her delicate and beautiful oval face, beneath her willow-leaf eyebrows, a pair of cold, sword-like eyes shone with sharp light.

It was none other than the swordswoman, Motoko Itō.

Of course, three years later, although Motoko Itaka's appearance remained unchanged, her temperament and image no longer carried the childishness of the Motoko who was now in high school.

The woman before me, Suzuko Goto, is like a true female swordswoman—no, she should be called a female sword master.

As soon as she appeared, "Motoko Gofuku" bowed to Sosuke, then turned to the side and assumed a horse stance, reaching for the hilt of her katana with her right hand, preparing to draw her sword.

Her information was also revealed to Sosuke.

[Five Directions of Motoko (Future State - Three Years Later)]

[Evaluation: Fiora (Final Evaluation Prediction - Master Yi)]

[Protective Techniques: Swordsmanship - No Outer Stream, My Own Style 26, Mind Stream 22, Divine Stream 18, Yin Stream 17]

[Additional Skills: Fang Thrust (SR), Wuxiang Sword (SR), Wuming Triple Thrust (SR), Swallow Return (SR), Jue Walk (SR), Crossing the River of Three Crossings (SSR), Tiger Crouching Absolute Blade Stance (SSR)...]

[Victory Reward: Kendo Level +3]

Sosuke paused slightly, then clicked his tongue in surprise.

It truly lives up to its name as the Heavenly Sword.

Motoko Goto, who possessed an extraordinary talent for swordsmanship, not only reached the level of that "Iron Sword" in basic swordsmanship three years later.

He even learned almost all of Atobe Sousuke's current system sword techniques.

Not only that, it seems she also learned her master Yae Meiken's signature move.

But... this is just right!

It has to be strong, otherwise the fights will be more interesting.

Sosuke couldn't help but lick his lips and smile.

Then, his smile abruptly stopped.

Then, looking completely bewildered, he blurted it out.

"System! Where's my knife?"

Sorry, the virtual trial does not provide weapons for the dojo master.

Holy crap! What the hell is this?!

***

Chapter 201 Breaking a Knife with Bare Hands

Sorry, the virtual trial does not provide weapons for the dojo master.

A system notification completely baffled Atobe Sousuke.

How can you be so shameless?

It's bad enough that they assigned him an opponent with a knife, but then they didn't even provide him with a knife himself.

How can he possibly fight like that?

Even just a baseball bat would be helpful.

Reality is neither anime nor a movie.

There truly is an insurmountable gap between unarmed and armed combat.

Don't be fooled by the fact that Yae Meixuan is a top-tier character, while Sebastian is a berserker.

But if the old butler were to fight the beautiful master with a knife, even if he could win, the worst that could happen would be losing an arm or a leg.

In the world of weaponry, there is a famous challenge called "single-sword against spear".

This means that everyone who practices using short weapons such as swords is keen to challenge themselves with long weapons such as spears or lances in order to see if their skills are excellent.

The result, of course, was that most of them suffered terribly.

To put it bluntly, a novice who practices spear for a few weeks can easily defeat someone who has diligently practiced swordsmanship for three to five years.

The same principle applies to unarmed combat.

Trying to "endure a knife barehanded" will likely result in a more tragic outcome than "enduring a spear with a single sword."

......

Sousuke, his forehead slightly sweating, stared intently at Motoko Goto, who was bowing and ready to draw her sword at any moment.

Even though his physique was much better than Motoko Goto's, the length and sharpness of his blade completely made up for that difference.

No, it should be said that he is currently at a huge disadvantage in terms of "attack range" and "lethality".

Even in terms of technique, he is inferior to Wufang Suzi.

So, Motoko, you really are a monster. You've become this strong in just three years?

However, on the surface, Sousuke would not show any sign of weakness.

He has to maintain his prestige, otherwise if even the martial arts entry is removed, he'll be truly finished.

Without a sword in hand, one cannot use swordsmanship techniques and a series of sword skills.

Of course, if he insists on using it, then using his own hands as swords is not out of the question.
