But she saw Sōsuke looking at her with a grin: "Motoko, welcome! Every one of my personal disciples is entitled to choose a room on this second floor~"

The frivolous teacher raised his eyebrows slightly, his eyes holding a deep meaning, which made Suzi's heart skip a beat.

Her face flushed, she quickly turned and left the room.

"I'm going to choose a room now~"

(//▼/へ//▼//)

"Motoko, I'll take a look with you too." Yae Meixuan immediately followed, then couldn't help turning back to look at the twins before leaving. "Sakura, Rin, I really like you two~"

"what?"

The twin sisters were completely bewildered, wondering why they were receiving so much attention from this busty older sister.

"Huh? Huh? Huh?"

Yumi Mifune watched the scene change rapidly, her mind racing.

She couldn't understand why everyone had suddenly become a resident here, leaving her alone again.

Thinking of this, she immediately jumped up from the tatami mat and shouted at Atobe Sousuke, "Master, I, I want to choose a room here too!"

Sosuke looked at her with a smile: "Yumi, you should go home and ask your family if they agree. If they do, I'll definitely be fine with it."

"Great!" I'll go pick out a room first!

ヽ(?ω?)ノ

Yumi Mifune ran out happily.

All that was left was Kuno Maruko, who covered her mouth and laughed, "Sousuke-kun, the dojo is about to get lively~"

"correct."

Sosuke scratched his chin, thinking about what would happen when he went to Saki's house later.

Should I ask her if she wants to come?

Chapter 225 The Old Butler's Secret

Taking advantage of the fact that the Sakura and Rin sisters moved into the dojo.

Five of the ten rooms on the second floor of Sousuke's Byakuya Dojo were immediately occupied by various beauties.

Including the largest room that Sosuke stayed in, there were four rooms left on the second floor.

The chattering girls helped each other and quickly finished cleaning their respective rooms.

Then they split into two groups.

As a skilled housekeeper, Kuno Maruko led the two sisters, Yae Mei-xuan and Sakura Rin, to purchase daily necessities.

Atobe Sousuke, along with Itō Motoko and Mifune Yumi, stayed at the dojo to continue their training.

On Motoko's side, Sosuke mainly urged her to practice the two new sword techniques she had learned more.

Another important aspect is strengthening physical training.

Although Wu Fang Su Zi's physical abilities are now comparable to those of an ordinary man due to the enhancement of the Heavenly Sword attribute in actual combat.

After all, she had only been practicing kendo for a little over a year. Although her swordsmanship had improved rapidly, her body had also strengthened faster than that of ordinary people due to her day and night practice.

However, compared to the physique honed over many years by opponents of the same level, it is at a slight disadvantage.

As for Yumi Mifune, she has already learned the Mountain Breeze and Cat Willow Techniques, and Sousuke is now planning to teach her a new special skill.

Manipulating the flow of water - Willow.

After completing the basic training, Motoko Itako continued to maintain a greater amount of sword practice and physical training, while Sosuke called Yumi Mifune over.

“Yumi, you should still remember how I fought on the Golden Eagle Banner, right?” he asked.

"Of course I remember!" Yumi immediately raised her right hand. "Yama Arashi!"

"It's not mountain mist, it's a different kind of battle tactic." Sōsuke waved his hand.

"Another tactic...?" Yumi scratched her head, her eyes lighting up. "Is it one of those techniques that can take someone down out of nowhere?"

"Yes, this is the technique I'm going to teach you next."

Sosuke extended his hand, gesturing, "Yumi, come and shake my hand."

Yumi immediately reached out excitedly and grabbed Sosuke's hand.

The tiny, white hands looked even cuter next to Sousuke's large hands.

"Now, try to exert force on me? You can throw me down or push me away, it's all fine," he said gently to Yumi.

"Take this!" Yumi Mifune said smugly, unleashing her full power without hesitation.

She already knew that the teacher was very strong, and since she couldn't hurt him anyway, she might as well go all out!

The next second, Sosuke tightened his grip on the hands of the class monitor, disrupting her overall power structure.

Yumi felt dizzy and then found herself on the ground.

"Sukuni!" she shouted, quickly scrambling to her feet and grabbing Sosuke's arm, insisting on learning.

Sosuke patted her little head and then began to teach her.

The lesson lasted until the afternoon.

Although he is already considered a genius by ordinary people, the SR aptitude is indeed quite different from that of SSR.

Seeing Yumi still scratching her head with a troubled look, seemingly understanding but not quite, Sosuke gently patted her head: "It's okay. This technique is very difficult and requires accumulation over time to develop sensitivity to the flow of power. Be prepared for long-term practice."

He then began giving his disciples pulse-nourishing hand massages every day, believing that with their gradual improvement in aptitude, they would eventually be able to learn even the most difficult techniques.

Moreover, Sosuke had already discovered the special features of a system skill.

That is, even without systematic prompts, he is able to subconsciously tailor his teaching to the individual students when instructing them in systematic skills.

He can quickly identify his students' shortcomings during the teaching process and then quickly adjust them to the right direction.

The students being taught are also able to fully utilize their own talents and perfectly follow his teaching methods.

This state is only effective when he teaches his disciples who are already registered in the system's list.

It's as if the system has given me a "master-disciple" buff.

As they were talking, Sosuke's cell phone, which he had placed at the edge of the training ground, rang.

He walked over and picked up the phone.

It was the old butler, Sebastian.

He answered immediately: "Hello, good afternoon, sir."

"Good day, Mr. Atobe." The old butler's steady voice came through the phone. "I'm almost there. Please make your preparations, Mr. Atobe, and then I'll come to pick you up to go to the Yotsuba residence."

"OK."

Sosuke answered crisply, then hung up the phone, turned to his two disciples and smiled, "You two can practice on your own from now on. I have to go to Saki's house."

Wu Fang Su Zi put away her bamboo sword and said softly, "I'm going home too. I'll tell my family when I get back, pack my things, and come stay at the dojo tonight."

Yumi Mifune immediately ran to her side: "Motoko, give me a ride. I'm going home too. I don't know if my dad will agree to let me come over."

She was a little unsure.

Motoko tilted her head, took Yumi's hand, and said, "Then I'll go to your house and help you tell your uncle and aunt?"

"Really!?" Yumi Mifune's eyes lit up. "Motoko is the best!"

Wu Fang Suzi has an elegant demeanor, a noble status, and travels in luxury cars. With her acting as an intermediary, it would be difficult for parents from normal families to refuse.

This is my back gon—well, my dojo. The disciples here have such a harmonious relationship.

Sosuke chuckled beside him, then turned and went back to his room to change.

Ten minutes later, he walked out of the dojo and got into the luxury car driven by the old butler.

After getting into the car, he subconsciously glanced at the old butler's control panel.

[Possesses self-defense techniques: Shotokan Karate 56]

It was 55 last time I checked, how come it has increased by 1 recently?

The old butler is truly a monster.

If we could know the qualifications of outsiders, the old butler would at least be an SSR, right?

I don't know if I can defeat this incredibly strong person now that I'm unleashing all my power and using all my special moves.

“Grandpa Sebastian.” Sosuke greeted the old butler, then asked with a grin, “You look better than ever since I last saw you.”

The old butler glanced at him calmly: "He's not as good as Mr. Atobe. He did something so big in just one day."

Sosuke leaned back in his high-end leather chair and waved his hand: "My mediocre skills are nothing compared to Grandpa Sebastian. If you were to take action, you could probably destroy even the strongest yakuza organization in Japan."

Sebastian shook his head and said nothing.

Sosuke remembered something and couldn't help but ask, "Grandpa, in theory, with your help, the Yotsuba family should be much larger than it is now. Even if it doesn't have the accumulation of the Five Elements family over the years, it shouldn't be much weaker, right?"

When the old butler heard his question, he said calmly, "It's very simple. One of the conditions that allowed the Yotsuba family to go from black to white was that I promised the authorities and the major forces in both the underworld and the legitimate world that I would no longer take the initiative to act."

"My force is limited to 'protecting the Yotsuba family' and must not be used to help the Yotsuba family 'seek' greater benefits."

"There's another reason... But as I understand it, with your power, sir, who would dare to make such a demand of you?"

Nonsense, Sousuke doesn't believe that a Berserker-level super strongman would be willing to bind his own hands just because the family he protects is threatened.

If he were to come, any opponent who dares to make this suggestion would never see the sun rise again.

Chapter 226 Are you a snake too?

The old butler glanced at Sosuke indifferently: "The Yotsuba family successfully transformed more than 20 years ago. At that time, I was just a Jutsu-level expert."

He continued, "Although he is considered one of the top experts in Japan, he is not enough to act with impunity, let alone perfectly protect the entire Yotsuba family."

It turned out to be the case.

While a top-tier expert can enable a company to stand up to a Fortune 500 giant without fear, they cannot protect a newly established family that is coveted by many forces, including the government.

Sosuke nodded, then asked curiously, "But old man, you do have much greater martial power now, right? Why not...?"

Now that he has reached the Berserker level, his martial prowess is incomparable to what it used to be, so his past promises can certainly be cancelled.

Why not lead the Yotsuba family to great heights?

The old butler calmly shook his head: "I'm old now. Although my physical functions are still good, I'm afraid my blood and energy will decline in a few years, and I won't be able to maintain my strength."

He glanced at Sosuke and continued, "Wealth acquired by relying on 'Berserker' level forces also needs 'Berserker' level forces to protect it. Otherwise, once the original fighting power is lost, the fate of that enterprise or family will be extremely tragic."

"I've already discussed it with that old fellow Ryuhei (the head of the Yotsuba family). Being able to climb out of the eighteenth level of hell in the extreme world and become a legitimate family is already the greatest fortune for the Yotsuba family. As long as we proceed steadily and develop slowly, the Yotsuba family will still be able to prosper for a long time even after Ryuhei and I pass away..."

The old steward spoke eloquently, showing no sign of the disappointment one might feel at possessing unparalleled martial arts skills yet being unable to realize one's ambitions; on the contrary, he appeared quite composed and calm.

Zongjie gave him a thumbs up: "Old man, you have a truly high level of understanding. I admire you."

The head of the Yotsuba family is incredibly lucky to have such a loyal and powerful expert as his butler.

The old butler gave Zongjie a deep look: "Ryuhei is almost eighty years old now. In recent years, he has gradually delegated power to his son. His son is Yotsuba's father, Yotsuba Nagayasu. Nagayasu is much more ambitious than Ryuhei. Two years ago, he hired a master who is quite good among the fierce-level experts, and he plans to lead the family to a higher level by relying on the death-crazy duel."

“It’s perfectly normal behavior.” Sosuke nodded slightly, then asked in confusion, “Why are you telling me this, old man?”

“I told you,” the old butler said calmly as he drove, “that kid Changkang is ambitious, capable, and eager to improve himself. Of course, he’ll want to use every means to climb the ladder.”

"So what?" Sosuke scratched his head. "Grandpa, I don't come from a big family or powerful family. I don't have experience in this kind of scheming. Sometimes I can't even think of the things you're trying to imply."

The old butler nodded: "I hadn't considered it..."

He continued, "There are some traditions among wealthy Japanese aristocrats, such as intermarriage, especially among families that already have sons. Daughters, whether legitimate or illegitimate, will use marriage to maintain relations between the two families and jointly safeguard their interests."

Sosuke immediately understood, and he couldn't help but complain, "Grandpa, do you mean Saki will be arranged into a marriage? Isn't that a bit too melodramatic?"

The old butler sighed: "If Saki were an only child, that would be great. Then, for the sake of the family's succession, the Yotsuba family would only consider taking in a son-in-law. The problem is that she has an older brother who is ten years older than her."

"What's even more coincidental is that her brother is also very outstanding." The old butler sighed again.
