I teach judo in Tokyo.

Sōsuke chuckled and shook his head: "Looks like you were right. Your unreliable master is probably off wandering off somewhere again, completely ignoring me."

“That’s how it is… I’ve gotten used to it.” Motoko Itō didn’t think twice and immediately believed Sōsuke’s deduction.

As they spoke, the two arrived at the entrance of the martial arts arena.

Sosuke looked up at the understated yet luxurious, antique-style building and sighed, "Motoko, this doesn't look like it was just a few minor alterations. This is a completely new and renovated training ground for you, isn't it?"

Wu Fang Suzi did not refute this, but silently stepped forward and pushed open the door of the martial arts arena.

"Please come in, Master. I'll show you around the dojo. I usually practice swordsmanship here," the swordswoman said as she led the way in.

As Atobe Sousuke watched the graceful figure of the kendo girl, he couldn't help but chuckle.

Today, Motoko was dressed in fairly casual sportswear: black athletic pants and a white athletic T-shirt. Although such sportswear was hardly associated with sexiness or allure, in Sousuke's eyes, Motoko's outfit had a unique charm.

She was already tall and had a particularly perfect figure. Her long, straight legs were eye-catching, and her rounded hips under her slender waist, although not as plump as a widow's, were firm and toned, with a youthful charm.

Body type stats: 86, 57, 87

Hearing Sousuke's laughter, the kendo girl turned around with a puzzled look and looked at Atobe Sousuke, who was all smiles.

Somehow, she immediately and keenly sensed Sosuke's thoughts.

Her face turned slightly red.

Then, with a hint of panic, he turned around.

(//▼/へ//▼//)

She hurriedly entered the temple and turned on the lights.

A magnificent training ground immediately appeared before Sousuke.

Sōsuke, who followed closely behind, couldn't help but exclaim, "No wonder they're rich. The facilities at Motoko's training ground look incredibly expensive."

Wu Fang Suzi turned around silently and began to lead the way.

While leading the way, he also introduced the various facilities and rooms to Sosuke.

"Teacher, this is a bamboo knife holder..."

"This is the changing room..."

"This is the protective gear room..."

......

"This is... uh..." Wufang Suzi hesitated for a moment, her face a little embarrassed.

"What kind of room is this?" Sosuke asked curiously, looking at the kendo girl who had stopped in front of a room.

"This is Master Yae's room..." the swordswoman said hesitantly.

"Let's go in and take a look!" Atobe Sousuke chuckled.

"Isn't this a bad idea...?" the kendo girl said, but her eyes were eager to try.

Sosuke immediately and decisively stepped forward, opened the door, and led the way inside.

What comes into view is a rather simple room.

A bed, a table, and a simply designed wardrobe.

At least there was a full-length mirror, which added a touch of femininity.

“Master, it doesn’t seem right for us to just casually enter Master Yae’s room like this…” Motoko Gohō followed in, still saying things she didn’t mean.

The next second, she felt a tightness in her wrist. It turned out that the man in front of her had turned around, pulled her and closed the door behind him. Then, he held her hand with his right hand and pressed his left hand against the wall next to her ear.

A face that seemed to be smiling but wasn't was magnified in front of her.

"Motoko, now's the perfect time. Why don't we just keep the promise you made in the car?"

"what??"

Wu Fang Suzi's face turned bright red instantly.

(//▼/へ//▼//)

"Here... no, isn't this inappropriate...?" She didn't dare to move and said awkwardly with her head down.

“I think it’s just right…” Sousuke leaned closer and whispered in the kendo girl’s ear. “Or are you saying that Motoko-chan is a bad girl who doesn’t keep her promises?”

"No...uh...uh!"

Motoko Gofuku immediately wanted to retort, but before she could finish speaking, Sosuke cut her off.

She closed her sharp eyes in alarm.

Chapter 208 Sword Master, Heavenly Sword, and the Instruction of Sword Techniques!

I don't know how much time has passed.

Amidst rapid breathing, Sousuke slowly raised his face. The bewildered kendo girl before him, who had long since disappeared, instinctively raised her face as well, clinging to him as she followed.

The soft lips felt a little cool, but the small tongue was quite warm.

Sosuke couldn't help but chuckle to himself, but since the other party had taken the initiative, he couldn't afford to back down.

The girl's lips and tongue were sweet, but Sousuke had another target in mind!

As a swordsman.

He had been coveting the Heavenly Sword, the peerless artifact of the Five Elements Clan, for a long time!

So, in the small room of the Five Directions Clan's training ground, where no one dared to disturb him, Atobe Sousuke, taking advantage of the girl's inattention, boldly stretched out his hands and began to secretly appraise this rare divine weapon of the Five Directions Clan.

It feels amazing!

The sword is long and slender, with perfect proportions, and all parts are perfectly matched.

Even though it wasn't drawn, Sousuke could feel how beautiful the sword itself was just by carefully stroking it through the scabbard.

He could even imagine the dazzling light that the slender sword would emit once it was no longer shielded by its scabbard.

Overjoyed, Sousuke gently stroked the sword again and again, memorizing the wonderful feel.

As expected of the Heavenly Sword!

......

......

After an unknown amount of time, a rapid sword cry, like the sound of flowing water, rang out.

Sosuke gently released the Heavenly Sword from his hand.

Then he raised his head, chuckling as he teased the kendo girl who had collapsed into his arms, "Motoko-chan, it was just a very innocent kiss, isn't your reaction a bit over the top...?"

It was just a kiss!?

What were you doing with your hands just now?

How can there be such shameless people in the world?

Wu Fang Suzi's face immediately turned bright red.

However, she was not good with words to begin with, and in this situation she was even more speechless. She could only blush and glare at Sosuke with murderous eyes.

(//▼/へ//▼//#)

Then, in a panic, she broke free from his embrace, opened the door, and ran back to the dojo from the room.

Atobe Sousuke slowly straightened his clothes, then walked out with a grin.

Back at the dojo, they found that Suko had already adjusted her emotions and returned to her calm demeanor.

If it weren't for her still slightly rosy earlobes giving her away, she would look no different from Tianjian as usual.

She took a deep breath and turned around, only to find that Atobe Sousuke had already walked up behind her, which immediately startled her.

He jumped back quickly, getting a meter away from Sosuke.

"Motoko, is it really necessary!" Sousuke teased the girl deliberately in an exaggerated manner.

Wu Fang Suzi glared at him speechlessly, without saying a word.

To prevent the atmosphere from becoming too awkward, Sosuke smiled and subtly changed the subject: "Motoko, now that you've kept your promise, it's my turn to keep mine."

(▼へ▼?)

The kendo girl looked at him with a puzzled expression, momentarily unable to recall what Sousuke's promise to her was.

Atobe Sousuke put on a serious face: "I promised you before that if you win the Jade Dragon Flag championship, I will teach you two sword techniques."

"Besides the three-stage thrust, there's another new move..."

The kendo girl's eyes lit up!

She immediately forgot her earlier shyness and asked, "I already know about the three-stage thrust. What is the other move you mentioned, Master?"

As expected, this was the only way to perfectly pique Motoko's interest.

Sosuke's lips curled slightly: "You've seen this move before, and probably more than once."

Wufang Suzi immediately asked excitedly, "Is it that extremely low-position 'dodge and parry sword technique'?"

She was referring to Atobe Sousuke's "Tiger Crouching Absolute Blade Stance," a move she had been haunting ever since she was defeated by it during training.

However, Sosuke said at the time that she had not yet met the conditions for learning this move, so she could not teach it.

Does this mean it's okay to teach now?

Seeing Motoko's excited expression, Sousuke shook his head and chuckled, "Still not good enough. That move is a very special technique, and Motoko still hasn't met the requirements..."

However, based on the progress of our intimacy today, it's estimated that it won't be long before the kendo girl meets the requirements and starts learning SSR-level sword skills.

The thought of the elegant kendo girl in front of him fulfilling the learning conditions required by the system made Sosuke feel quite excited.

Upon hearing that Sousuke had refused, Motoko Itō paused in her excitement, her delighted expression slightly diminishing.

She tilted her head and thought for a moment: "I've seen this move twice..."

Then she realized: "Teacher, you mean that spinning slash in mid-air!?"

Sosuke nodded: "Exactly, I'll name this move 'Swallow Return'!"

Swallows return!?

Motoko Gotoku was stunned for a moment, then immediately pressed, "Ganryu? Sasaki Kojiro's Tsubame Gaiden? How is that possible..."

"No, no, no—" Sosuke waved his hand, "Just like the previous moves, this so-called 'Swallow Return' is just a sword technique that I created on a whim based on the legend. I can't guarantee whether it is the real Swallow Return as in the legend."

In truth, he knew that the system wouldn't give him counterfeit goods.

Since the system names this move "Swallow Return," and the accompanying origin story indicates that it's the same move used by Sasaki Kojiro...

Then this move must be the legendary sword technique.

Of course, it's uncertain whether this move was actually invented by Sasaki Kojiro of "this world" as the Swallow Return.

It might have been created by an counterpart from another parallel world; who knows?

“But…” Wufang Suzi hesitated for a moment.

"I've seen some kendo masters practice their techniques before, and most of them recreate this move as a high-speed, two-stage slash..."

As she spoke, she ran to the bamboo sword stand at the edge of the field, took down two bamboo swords, ran back and handed one to Sosuke, while she took the other and stepped aside.

Immediately afterwards, she assumed a stance with both hands gripping the sword, the tips pointing backward.

The next second, she swiftly slashed horizontally with her bamboo sword and then swiftly slashed back.

The sword strike was incredibly sharp and seemed quite powerful.

“This is the swallow return I’ve ever seen,” said Wufang Suzi.

Sosuke smiled slightly, deciding not to argue with her any further, and asked directly, "Just tell me if you're going to learn or not!"

"I will learn!" the kendo girl answered immediately.

That solves the problem!

So the two began teaching each other kendo.
