I teach judo in Tokyo.

Sosuke felt that his image as a gentleman had been completely ruined by the widow's questions. He shook his head with a wry smile: "Really, it's not necessary. Kuno-nee, just lie still!"

"Oh...oh..." Kuno Maruko finally believed that Sousuke wasn't fooling her, and obediently started to lie down.

Sosuke sat on the widow's soft cushion and gently placed his hands on her back.

Nourishing Pulse Technique, activate!

......

Half an hour later.

As the widow let out a comfortable groan, Sousuke lowered his hands and sat up, smiling at the widow who was lost in thought: "Kuno-nee, how are you feeling?"

The widow slowly came to her senses. As she sat up, she couldn't help but move her body, then looked at Sosuke with a look of surprise: "Sosuke-kun, I feel so relaxed all over. All the soreness and discomfort I've accumulated from training seems to have disappeared!"

Not only that, she even felt that her mind had become clearer. Some things she had only vaguely understood about judo before seemed to become clear all at once, and now she really wanted to try them out.

Unexpectedly, Sousuke seemed to know what she was thinking and said with a smile, "Kuno-nee, if you want to reach the black belt level, your throwing technique is still a little bit lacking. Go change into your judo uniform now, and we're going to give you special training in your throwing technique!"

Sosuke also wanted to see what the effects of this "Nourishing Pulse Hand" talent enhancement would be like.

After all, he has only used this function on Yae Meixuan so far, and Yae Meixuan is not his disciple. She only felt the effects of fatigue recovery and physical healing, but did not experience any effect of improving her talent.

Kuno Maruko obediently stood up and ran to change into her judo uniform.

Sosuke, of course, went and changed into a different outfit just like her.

Then, Sosuke became the target, and the widow began to test her throwing skills.

The results were quite gratifying—the widow had mastered all the common hand, foot, and waist techniques in throwing skills to a considerable degree!

With Sousuke's cooperation, she was able to execute all the throwing techniques according to Sousuke's requirements and throw him out.

To be honest, after such a systematic examination, Sosuke couldn't help but marvel once again at the power of "aptitude".

Not to mention super geniuses like Yotsuba Saki and Itako Motoko, who have monstrous comprehension, as long as their physical functions keep up and their strength and flexibility are sufficient, they can learn any routine skill as soon as they are taught it, and they will become proficient in it in no time.

Even with SR-level skills, Motoko Gofuku showed him today the possibility of learning them in no time.

SSR level, terrifyingly powerful.

But even setting aside SSR-level characters, just considering SR-level characters like the widow and the class monitor, they are already considered super geniuses by ordinary standards.

The widow has only been learning judo for less than two months, yet she has already surpassed the beginner level and mastered the necessary techniques. She has truly accomplished in two months what others take years to achieve.

What she lacks now is practical experience.

Seeing this situation, Sosuke decisively adjusted his teaching strategy for the evening.

He restrained his strength and began to engage the widow in actual combat at a level close to her own.

The result was as he expected.

SR-level talents are already strong, and now the widow's talents have been further enhanced by the Nourishing Pulse Technique, and she is currently in a state of enlightenment.

In addition, the widow is currently in the "beginner" stage, which is a beneficial period for beginners to rapidly improve their strength.

Kuno Maruko made rapid progress, from initially being able to only be thrown back and forth by him, to gradually being able to counter his throws in time, and then slowly turning from defense to offense, taking the initiative to launch attacks.

Later on, while he maintained his skill level, the two were able to engage in a fierce competition in simulated combat!

The widow's eyes seemed to burn with the flames of excitement, as if she had found the joy of judo competition. Although she was exhausted, she was able to put up various throws against Sosuke without showing any weakness. She could even use her ground techniques to counter Sosuke's moves when the two of them fell to the ground.

Finally, when Kuno Maruko collapsed to the ground, drenched in sweat and unable to get up again.

Sosuke, who had just stood up and was wiping his sweat, suddenly brightened up.

[Disciple Kuno Maruko's "throwing technique" improved]

[Kuno Maruko's actual skill level has improved]

[Disciple Kuno Maruko's protective skills have met the requirements; she can be hired as a substitute instructor at the dojo.]

[Standard salary for substitute teachers: 250000 yen/month (cost covered by the system)]

You will acquire an SR-level skill—please select the skill's focus.

[Selectable specializations: 1. Unarmed combat, 2. Weaponry, 3. Mystic arts]

Sosuke breathed a sigh of relief after seeing the system notification.

The widow finally met the requirements for becoming a teacher at the temple.

But when he looked further down, he discovered an unexpected surprise.

As Kuno Maruko's strength increases, the system will reward her with a new SR-level skill!

Moreover, the skill options now include "magical arts".

How did this come about?

Sosuke had a vague guess, but wasn't quite sure.

[Due to the addition of the third protective technique, "Ninja Art," the dojo master now possesses the foundation to use more unconventional techniques.]

'What does that magical technique contain?' Sosuke asked himself silently.

[It encompasses a wide range of skills, including, for example, auxiliary skills such as concealed weapons, hypnosis, disguise, and poisons.]

I see, I understand now!

Zongsuke made a quick decision.

You have chosen your focus in the area of ​​magical arts.

[You have acquired the SR-level Mystic Skill - Card Flying Technique]

Special skills and techniques were loaded onto Sosuke by the system, and he immediately knew what he had gained.

He thought of a movie series he had seen in his previous life, in which the protagonist was very good at shooting ordinary playing cards to kill enemies.

Wow, this is a great opportunity to cosplay the God of Gamblers!

With this skill, he could have a stable and reliable means of long-range attack when he encountered enemies who used firearms, as long as he carried a few decks of cards.

Moreover, this card-throwing technique can be even more powerful than firearms in certain situations.

The most direct manifestation of this is that, based on Sousuke's understanding of the skill's effect, his throwing card—

It is possible to hit the target even when it turns.

Imagine this scene: he is trapped behind cover by a group of armed men, unable to get out, and every time he peeks out, he is met with a hail of bullets.

At this moment, he had two choices: one was to activate "Liberation" and rush out with physical abilities far beyond what ordinary people could comprehend, taking a gamble on whether a person or a gun was faster ten steps away.

You won the bet and successfully showed off, expending a lot of energy in the process.

He lost the bet and was left with nothing but holes.

The second option is to calmly crouch in cover, then pull out a deck of cards and shuffle them around a few times. The concealed cards spin rapidly, curve, and fly out, slicing through the gunmen's throats or the hands holding the guns.

Once the opponent is rendered incapacitated, they leisurely emerge from behind cover.

......

Is there even a need to choose?!

Sousuke looked satisfied, then happily helped the widow up: "Kuno-nee, tonight's special training is over. I hereby declare that your strength has reached the standard. From tomorrow onwards, your identity is the dojo's judo instructor!"

"Really!?" Kuno Maruko's eyes lit up. Although she vaguely felt that she had made great progress tonight, she did not expect to gain Atobe Sousuke's approval so quickly.

Sousuke Atobe smiled and said, "Kuno-nee, I'm not bragging, but you really do have 'professional' level skills now. In fact, even if I took you to fight against those who have just been awarded black belts, you would have a chance to win."

"Not to mention ordinary people." Atobe Sousuke paused, "Kuno-nee, if you encounter one of those harassing perverts again and can't avoid them, just boldly throw them away!"

When Kuno Maruko heard Sousuke's praise, she couldn't help but look down at her own hands.

"So, I'm a judo master now?" she murmured to herself.

"It couldn't be more real," Sosuke affirmed once again.

He then patted the widow's shapely buttocks: "Kuno-nee, go and accompany Aoi to take a bath and go to sleep. After she falls asleep... come to my room."

Sosuke's eyes were teasing: "You must be exhausted from training tonight. Let me give you another massage to relieve your fatigue."

“Okay!” Kuno Maruko agreed happily to Sousuke without any suspicion.

......

Then, late at night, in Sosuke's room.

The widow, after being massaged by the Nourishing Pulse Technique, was surprised to discover that there was a second stage.

She gasped for breath, twisting her body, her voice tinged with panic: "Huh? Huh! Sosuke-kun, you...?"

......

Unlock a new scenario: Sykes Massage.

......

Unlock the first interesting dialogue: Hmm? Is this really a massage?

Unlocking Interesting Dialogue 2: Ma'am, I was just trying to ease your mind. Everyone's like this, it's okay~

......

Atobe Sousuke's inner demons were defeated by the combined efforts of the two!

The widow gained a large amount of experience points!

Chapter 222 New Disciple—SSR!?

Early in the morning, Wufang Suzi had already arrived at Sosuke's dojo.

It was the widow who saw her when she got up early to prepare breakfast.

In the morning sunlight, the kendo girl with her hair in a high ponytail, wearing long sweatpants and a short-sleeved sports shirt, stood outside the gate with a bamboo sword and a bag on her back. Her tall figure was paired with long, straight legs, and her face was aloof.

"Good morning, Motoko, you're here so early?" The widow saw the kendo girl standing there blankly and immediately opened the courtyard gate to let her in.

"Good morning, Kuno-nee." The kendo girl gazed at the widow dressed in casual clothes, her eyes sweeping over the widow's outrageous figure, lingering for a moment before her magnificent chest, a hint of envy flashing in her eyes.

Every time I see it, it seems so big, even bigger than my master...

She walked into the courtyard and said softly, "It was Master Atobe who reminded me before he left yesterday to come here for my training earlier today."

"Oh, okay~" Kuno Maruko nodded quickly, "Master Atobe hasn't gotten up yet, Motoko, why don't you come to the dojo and wait for him?"

"Okay, thank you, Kuno-nee." Motoko followed in the other's footsteps, then couldn't help but stop at the entrance of the training ground.

The widow turned around and saw the kendo girl intently looking at the large wooden board with several names on it.

She asked nervously yet expectantly, "These are the dojo accessories I bought yesterday. What do you think, Suzu?"

“Great.” Motoko looked at the wooden plaque with her name on it and smiled.

"That's good..." The widow breathed a sigh of relief, visibly becoming much happier. "Has Suzuko had breakfast? Shall I prepare one for you too?"

"No—" Motoko Itako was about to refuse, but when she saw the expectant look on Kuno Maruko's face, she changed her mind as if possessed: "Alright, it's a good opportunity to try Kuno-nee's cooking."

The widow smiled happily and walked briskly into the kitchen.

Wu Fang Suzi put down her backpack and looked around the training ground. She found that since her last visit, there had been many more facilities and equipment, making it look more and more like a proper training ground.

Before she had finished turning around, her keen ears heard a clear and melodious familiar sound coming from outside the dojo.

"Oh ho ho~ oh ho ho~ yo! Is anyone home? Could you please open the door?"

“It’s Yumi.” The kendo girl smiled and said to the widow who was rushing out in an apron, “Kuno-nee, I’ll go open the door.”

"Okay, then I'll continue making food. Make another one!" Kuno Maruko wiped the sweat from her forehead and immediately turned on the air conditioner in the dojo.

By the end of July, Tokyo had entered its hottest period.

Although Sousuke equipped the training grounds of the Byakuya Dojo with air conditioning after the start of summer, Kuno Maruko was reluctant to turn it on when there weren't many people around because she was worried about the electricity bill.

Motoko Itō quickly walked out of the dojo and immediately saw Yumi Mifune standing outside the gate of the courtyard, dressed in a judo uniform.

The other person immediately spotted Motoko Gofuku and stood on tiptoe to wave, "Motoko~ You're here so early!"

"Yumi, aren't you hot dressed like that?" Motoko Itsuka opened the door and welcomed Yumi in. Seeing that Yumi was covered in a fine layer of sweat, she couldn't help but ask softly.

"It's alright~" Mifune Yumira ran happily into the yard and quickly climbed onto the edge.
