I teach judo in Tokyo.

Although the virtual trials the system set for him were becoming increasingly bizarre, even going so far as to make him fight blades with his bare hands last night.

However, from Kuno Maruko's "ground technique +2", to Mifune Yumi and Yotsuba Saki's "throwing technique +3" and "parrying technique +3", and then to Itamoto Motoko's "all swordsmanship +3".

The reward level generally increases with the difficulty of the battle.

Now, the three-year-later forms of all disciples have been finalized.

Next week, you can choose to fight against disciples in stronger forms.

What year will we play next?

Five years? Or ten years?

He was still quite looking forward to it.

Let's worry about the future later, and cherish the present moment!

Sosuke chuckled and turned to hug the widow's waist.

The widow opened her eyes in a daze, and then vaguely saw Sosuke's handsome face so close to her.

"Good morning, Sosuke-kun..." she greeted instinctively, then fell silent.

......

Morning exercise over.

Sosuke finished his shower and came out of the bathroom to the dining room, just as his widow hurriedly ran out with breakfast.

"Sousuke-kun, I'm sorry, um... I was a bit rushed and only had time to make a simple dish." As she said this, Kuno Maruko's face flushed, and she avoided eye contact with the dojo master.

Atobe Sousuke chuckled.

Kuno-nee is so kind and gentle. Even though it was his idea to organize the morning exercise that caused the delay, the widow was too embarrassed to blame him.

He grabbed his breakfast and started showing it off.

While enjoying his breakfast, Sousuke looked at Maruko and said, "Kuno-nee, I'll probably be staying in Tokyo until the National Tournament. I'll take advantage of these next few days to give you some special training so you can reach black belt level as soon as possible... Our dojo will probably be welcoming a lot of students who want to learn judo and kendo soon."

"Yes, I know." Kuno Maruko was also eating slowly, and when she heard Sousuke's words, an expectant look appeared on her face.

"I will practice hard to become a qualified teacher's representative!"

As she spoke, she stood up, ran outside the dojo, retrieved a newspaper, and handed it to Sosuke: "Sosuke-kun, look! Your interview has been published in a western Japanese newspaper. Our Byakuya Dojo is going to be a hit!"

Did this widow, who had clearly done her morning exercise, also go out to buy groceries and bring a newspaper with her?

Sosuke reached out and took the newspaper, flipped it open and glanced at it. Sure enough, he saw photos of himself and his three disciples, as well as a whole page of content related to the Golden Vulture Flag and the Jade Dragon Flag.

His name, "White Night Dojo," was also placed in a very prominent position.

Even the newspapers gave him such a large article; Sosuke could imagine how popular he must be online right now.

He put down his newspaper, looked at the beaming Kuno Maruko, and couldn't help but chuckle, "Kuno-nee, are you that happy? You've got a lot to do next."

"Of course I'm happy!" Kuno Maruko said excitedly. "I saw that the dojo didn't have many disciples before, and I was thinking that it would be too much of a bargain for you if I became the instructor. Now it's great that I can contribute."

She tapped her chin with her finger as she spoke, then suddenly exclaimed in surprise.

Sosuke was startled: "What's wrong, Kuno-nee?"

Kuno Maruko looked somewhat panicked: "I haven't even investigated or learned what a teacher's representative should do... What if I embarrass myself and get reported?"

Seeing her genuinely anxious expression, Sousuke couldn't help but laugh: "Kuno-nee, it's alright, you don't need to be so nervous, here's what I'm doing..."

He saw Kuno Maruko looking at him expectantly, and stroked his chin with a smile, saying, "I guess Suko's side will send someone to pick me up later. I might have to stay at her house until after dinner before I can come back. Kuno-nee has already resigned, so I can go out and do some research or look up information online."

"Ok."

With Sousuke's arrangement, Kuno Maruko seemed to have found her pillar of support and immediately accepted the instructions happily.

"By the way, doing these things requires funding. I'll give you some money later," Sosuke said with a slight smile.

“No need!” Kuno Maruko immediately sat up straight and answered seriously, “Sousuke-kun, after I resigned, the manager settled my wages, and I still have more than 100,000 yen on hand, which is enough to do these things.”

"Alright... then remember to tell me the expenses after you're done, and I'll reimburse you." Sosuke didn't argue with her; he just wanted the widow to be happy.

"Ok!"

The widow nodded with a smile, but in her heart she had already made up her mind to pay for it herself.

From now on, she will be the instructor of the dojo. As a member of the dojo, it is only natural for her to contribute her own strength.

......

Not long after the two finished breakfast, while the widow was still busy cleaning the dojo, Sousuke's phone rang.

It wasn't that Sousuke didn't want to help the widow clean; he was simply driven away by her and not allowed to get involved.

However, seeing that the widow was too tired, Sosuke forcefully wiped the entire wooden floor of the dojo, which was the most strained part on the back, with a rag.

As for other miscellaneous tasks, if the widow doesn't allow them, then so be it.

Sosuke took out his phone to look at it.

Caller ID: Wufang Suzi.

As I answered the phone, the clear, spring-like voice of the kendo girl rang in my ears.

"Good morning, teacher. I've arrived at the gate of the dojo."

The content of the speech was concise and clear.

Sosuke replied immediately, "Good morning, Motoko. Wait a few minutes while I change my clothes and come out—by the way, do you need me to wear formal attire?"

Sitting in her car, Wu Fang Suzi held up her phone and subconsciously shook her head: "No need, Shi Fan, you're a guest here, why would you need to wear formal attire..."

"OK, wait a moment, I'll be right out."

The two hung up the phone.

Wu Fang Suzi put her phone away, but there was a hint of worry in her eyes.

Ever since she witnessed the full-force battle between Yae Meiken and Atobe Shihan a couple of days ago, she felt that her worldview had been completely overturned.

So afterwards, he seriously questioned Yae Meixuan and finally learned that behind the real world, there really was such a "dark world" full of powerful people.

This also led her to understand the real reason why her "Gofuku family" was able to remain a powerful clan in Japan for so many years.

In addition to the wealth accumulated by the family in its early years, the Wufang family has been very fortunate to have found several powerful "martial arts masters" to serve as the "representatives of the family business" from the generation of their great-great-grandfather to the modern era of Japan's rapid development.

Relying on the powerful force represented by the worshipped Death Madman, the five families were able to expand their business empires smoothly, and their family assets and status rose accordingly.

However, although the physical performance of the strong lasts much longer than that of ordinary people, like Sebastian, Saki's old butler, who is over sixty years old, he is still very strong and has perfect muscles.

However, the "Peerless" level master worshipped by the Five Families is now over eighty years old. No matter how strong his body is, it will inevitably decline at this age. He will probably have to retire soon and will no longer be able to serve the Five Families.

Wu Fang Suzi still had a frown on her face.

She wasn't really bothered by the retirement of the family's highly respected master; what truly worried her was something else entirely.

As a long-established chaebol with an extravagant family fortune, the father, who was used to spreading his assets widely, would certainly not place all his hopes on his teacher training program.

Compared to Master Yae's one-sided description of Master Atobe, this is a contrast to Master Yae's description of Master Atobe.

The father was more inclined to believe the other person.

That person was the successor recommended by the top-tier master revered by the family.

The successor will also be present at this invitation.

In her view, what Atobe Sousuke was about to attend was essentially a trap.

Chapter 203 The Value of the Strong

As Suzi frowned in worry, a knock sounded on the car window.

Motoko immediately looked over, and Sousuke's smiling face was reflected on the outside of the glass.

The next second, Sosuke opened the car door and got in.

"Good morning, Shifan." Wufang Suzi greeted him politely.

"Good morning, Motoko. By the way, why are you here so early?" Sousuke raised an eyebrow. "It's just to discuss the matter of being the representative of the Death Frenzy. You should have just told me at a casual time, right?"

“Those are secondary. Teacher’s College, I have something to tell you.” Wu Fang Suzi hesitated for a moment, her expression serious.

Sousuke leaned back in his chair: "What's wrong? Is Motoko-chan finally going to confess to me?"

"You're overthinking it..." Wufang Suzi was speechless, her small face slightly red as she turned to the side.

Then, she straightened her expression and said, "Teacher, I feel it's necessary for me to apologize to you on behalf of my parents..."

"What's wrong?" Atobe Sousuke scratched his head.

Wu Fang Suzi looked somewhat embarrassed: "It's like this, as you should know, my family is quite large, and with so many interests involved, my parents, as the current heads of the family, have to be cautious..."

Sousuke was exasperated. He reached out and patted the kendo girl's head. "Motoko, you're not the kind of person I remember being so coy. Can you be a little more direct?"

Motoko paused, but didn't stop Sousuke from patting her head. Instead, she took a deep breath and said, "Because corporate interests are involved, besides you, other strong individuals will be present today to compete for the position of the Gofuchi family's prospective representative..."

"So troublesome?" Sosuke finally understood why it would take a whole day. Judging from this, he might even have to spend some time sparring with someone else today.

Wu Fang Suzi immediately explained, "Teacher training, this is absolutely not my idea, nor is it even my parents' decision. They were actually forced into it..."

When Sousuke saw Motoko Itsuka's unusually anxious expression, he couldn't help but find it somewhat amusing.

He also realized why the usually straightforward and frank Motoko Gofuku was being so hesitant—simply put, the girl was afraid that he would feel dissatisfied because he was being neglected.

To be honest, if it were him, he would also think that the Five Families' approach was reasonable.

He had previously discussed this matter with Yae Meixuan.

In Japan, once a company partners with a powerful entity, it basically means that the company's future development will be deeply tied to that powerful entity.

Normal business operations are of course insignificant, but some projects or targets with very high profit margins will almost always involve irreconcilable competition.

In this world, apart from a few countries with a strong official stance that completely prohibit it.

In other regions, when it comes to this kind of irreconcilable competition involving huge interests, it's time for a "death struggle" to take place.

Companies that have more reliable and powerful partners are able to win the competition and thus obtain projects with huge profits, enabling them to achieve long-term development.

Companies that fail to win the competition will lose this opportunity for rapid development and will have to stick to their original business and wait for the next opportunity.

Let's return to the problems faced by the five families.

In the business world, many new companies emerge at every stage, and these companies must take food from the mouths of these old financial giants if they want to grow.

At this point, a deadly showdown is inevitable.

Therefore, with that veteran powerhouse at the "Peerless" level facing retirement, the Five Families are currently in a very dangerous situation.

As a long-established conglomerate, the Five Families have numerous businesses under their umbrella, and the cost of maintaining the company is enormous. If they lose some businesses due to the defeat in the Deathly Showdown, it is very likely that the company's profits will turn from positive to negative.

They desperately need someone who can handle things.

There's no need to even think about the Berserker-level powerhouses; there are probably no more than thirty in the entire world combined, and they've already been tied to those top companies.

For a newly established company like the Yotsuba family to have a powerful figure like Sebastian protecting them is extremely rare on a global scale.

In fact, even top-tier experts are basically rare and hard to come by.

To put it bluntly—if a company has a top-tier expert who can fight exceptionally well, it will eventually reach the standards of a Fortune 500 company, as long as it doesn't do anything reckless.

After all, according to Yae Meixuan, there are only one or two hundred top-level experts in the world.

Even if the Five Families lose their top-tier experts, at most they will no longer strive for further opportunities to expand their businesses.

However, if a company doesn't even have a single exceptionally skilled and formidable fighter, it could very well lead to its business being rapidly eroded by other companies.

For a company, a strong player is someone that must be treated with great respect.

Leaving aside the huge fixed remuneration.

Most companies will even give up their shares and net profits to forge a deep bond with the stronger players.

Furthermore, very few companies would try to circumvent this tactic.

After all, there are plenty of business-savvy merchants, but those who can secure opportunities for their companies are rare finds.

Of course, this only applies to experts at the highest level.

The Five Families are indeed currently seeking a new "Absolute" level expert but have been unable to find one.

However, if one wants to find the most powerful among the "fierce" level experts to represent the Death Frenzy, it will also attract many experts to compete.
