I teach judo in Tokyo.

"Teacher...Teacher's College! I feel my body..." Her face was full of disbelief.

I initially thought the massage was just an excuse Sosuke used to take advantage of me.

The result—it actually worked, and surprisingly well!

Suko felt perfectly comfortable all over, and not just her body. She even felt that her mind was much more alert than usual, as if a thin beam of light had suddenly shone down on the hazy mist in her mind.

Bathed in this light, she felt as if her understanding of swordsmanship had deepened.

Sousuke chuckled softly, "See? I really didn't lie to Motoko, did I?"

As he spoke, he clapped his hands, gesturing for the two to come over: "The massage is over. Let's take advantage of the best effect and practice more..."

Then, a voice suddenly came from outside the dojo, interrupting Atobe Sousuke's words.

"Excuse me—is anyone there?"

The voices that were calling out were two soft, overlapping female voices.

Sosuke was taken aback.

Before he could even speak, Yumi Mifune next to him jumped up excitedly.

"Someone's knocking on the door! It must be a disciple! A new disciple! Let's go see!"

She hurriedly led the way and ran out of the dojo.

"A new disciple!?" The widow, who was upstairs with her daughter, ran downstairs excitedly.

Is her substitute teaching job finally getting on track?

“It seems so…” Sosuke nodded and immediately led Motoko and Maruko out of the training ground.

As soon as I stepped outside, I heard Yumi Mifune shouting excitedly.

Wow! What adorable little sisters!

two?

Before Sousuke could understand what was going on, he saw Mifune Yumi open the courtyard gate, then reach out and pull the two girls into the courtyard.

Then, she curiously peeked outside for a moment, then turned back and asked, "Where are your parents?"

The widow and the swordswoman couldn't help but move closer, and the three of them surrounded the two little girls who hadn't spoken yet, showering them with concern and care.

Only the true master of the dojo remained, standing quietly in place.

His gaze was enigmatic; he simply observed the two people quietly.

They were two girls with childlike faces and pretty features, who looked to be about fifteen or sixteen years old.

She had the same cherry blossom-colored hair, wore the same white-on-top, red-on-bottom shrine maiden outfit as Japanese shrine maidens, and had almost identical features.

If it weren't for their different hairstyles, the two girls would be indistinguishable to outsiders.

These are twins!

The girl with waist-length hair had a calm expression, while the other girl, whose hair wasn't as long and had small braids tied on both sides of her long hair, wore a weak, embarrassed smile.

【Dan Ying (16), Disciple Potential: SSR, Be sure to collect her】

【Danlin (16), Disciple Potential: SSR, Be sure to collect her】

Sosuke's eye twitched.

Twins, sixteen years old...

When the beautiful master shared her past with me last time, didn't she say that when her whole family was killed fifteen years ago, that scumbag master actually left three people alive?

One is the beautiful master herself, and the other two are her twin sisters who were born not long ago.

Are there really such coincidences in the world?

He looked closely at the two girls, as if trying to find any resemblance between them and the beautiful master.

The more I looked at it, the more I felt that it actually did look somewhat similar!

Holy crap! I'm not guessing anymore, let's just look at the answer!

Sosuke simply clicked on the entries for the two people.

Sosuke scratched the back of his head vigorously.

What does "hidden background of someone named 'Yae'" mean?

Isn't this a clear indication that the card is being played openly?

***

Chapter 223 Conspiracy or not, I'm determined to take this disciple!

While Sousuke remained silent, the two sisters, Dan'er and Dan'lin, were surrounded by three disciples and their origins were revealed.

Yumi Mifune repeated, looking completely bewildered, "So you mean you two... have amnesia?"

Dan Ying and Dan Lin nodded at the same time.

The former had a cold expression, while the latter looked shy and timid, both with a sense of confusion in their eyes.

Wu Fang Su Zi frowned slightly, sensing something unusual: "So, how did you get here?"

When Dan Ying heard her question, she hesitated for a moment, and then said softly, "I only remember that there was a... masked person who brought us out of the mountains... and then 'he' told me that my sister and I were going to live here."

"What nonsense..." Mifune Yumi scratched her head, feeling like her CPU was overloaded.

Kuno Maruko was also completely bewildered. She was not very opinionated and looked directly at Sosuke.

Motoko Itako sensed something was amiss, but as a young girl, she had no good solution to the situation and could only turn to Sosuke.

"Teacher, do you think we should call the police?"

Atobe Sousuke kept a close eye on the two girls' status panels the entire time.

Then they discovered that their answers were completely truthful; what they said was exactly what they were thinking.

Combined with their own "sealed" protective techniques and unique backgrounds, the two individuals also possessed unique abilities.

He already had a pretty good idea.

Of the three surviving members of the Yae family back then, one was Mei Xuan, and the other two were the two girls in front of us.

That swordsman, with his two newborn children, joined the Serpent of the World. His swordsmanship improved year by year, and he became the "Crown of Swords".

The two girls who followed him into the Serpent of the Rings were naturally also members of the Serpent of the Rings.

But right now, these two little ones are indeed in a state of not understanding anything.

The result is obvious—the Serpent of the Ring possesses unique hypnosis or memory manipulation techniques, which sealed the memories of the two girls and then deliberately brought them to him.

What is the purpose of that organization doing this?

Are they here to demonstrate?

Tell Sosuke that the Serpent of the Rings knows he is the culprit who ruined the organization's plans.

Or is there some other purpose behind it?

Atobe Sousuke narrowed his eyes, somewhat puzzled.

So, in this situation, should we accept the ticking time bomb in front of us?

Of course we should accept it!

Sosuke smiled and walked straight up to the two beautiful twin girls, giving them a kind smile.

He cut to the chase and asked directly, "What are your names?"

"Dan Ying".

"Danlin".

When the two sisters saw Sosuke coming over, they seemed a little nervous and immediately answered obediently.

"Dan'er just said that she only knew that someone told you that you were going to stay at my dojo, right?" Atobe Sousuke looked at the long-haired older sister.

“Yes…yes…” Dan Ying nodded.

Sosuke smiled calmly and said, "Regarding people of unknown origin, and considering the safety of both of you, the best option is to call the police..."

The two sisters were immediately flustered and confused; clearly, they didn't know what the best course of action was.

Their pitiful appearance made Yumi and Kuno feel a little sorry for them.

Motoko Itsuka noticed something was wrong, so she just watched Sosuke quietly, wanting to know how he would handle it.

Sosuke continued, "However, since you're here, it means 'someone' wants you to stay, so it's not impossible, but..."

He smiled and said, "Only my personal disciples can live in my dojo. So, would you two like to be my disciples?"

That's right, who cares about the conspiracy of the Serpent of the World behind it all.

Now there are two clearly SSR characters right in front of me.

If I don't accept them as disciples, even the system might condemn me!

Buy! Buy without hesitation!!!

Everyone, including the twins, was stunned by Sosuke's words.

However, it was the younger twin, Danrin, who reacted the fastest.

She nodded shyly to Sosuke: "I'm willing to be your disciple."

Seeing that her younger sister had agreed, Dan Ying immediately nodded as well: "I'm willing too!"
