I teach judo in Tokyo.

Upon seeing Motoko Itsuka's actions, Sosuke immediately felt reassured.

He crossed his legs and retreated instead of advancing, quickly untying the belt around his waist as he did so, and then violently ripped off the white kendo uniform draped over his body!

That's right. Although he didn't have a sword, it didn't mean he had to fight "Sword Saint Motoko" bare-handed.

Making use of all available tools as opportunities to defeat powerful enemies is an essential combat skill for every strong person!

At the same time, as Sousuke retreated while the swordswoman Motoko advanced, the distance between them rapidly shortened, and after Sousuke finished taking off his clothes, he approached within Motoko's attack range.

With sharp eyes, Suko's right hand became a blur as she drew her katana from her waist and slashed out!

The sharp blade of light instantly crossed the distance between the two and struck Sousuke's chest.

liberation!

Sosuke's aura exploded, and his speed suddenly increased in an instant, allowing him to dodge the fierce sword-drawing slash at the last second.

Sword Saint Motoko remained calm and composed, unaffected by the missed attack. She then used both hands to wield her sword and unleashed another powerful Kiba-gami Slash at Sousuke!

Sosuke retreated again, and with the enhanced speed, he was much faster than the Sword Saint Motoko, allowing him to dodge the attack once more.

The opponent remained calm, and after unleashing the Yagami Heavy Slash, he quickly placed the sword at his waist and assumed the "Hirōgan" stance.

Clearly, Motoko's next move is "Mumyou Sandan-tsu".

Right now.

Atobe Sousuke's eyes flashed, and in the brief moment when the sword saint Motoko sheathed her sword and posed with her blue eyes, he suddenly threw the white kendo uniform in his hand at her!

The oversized kendo uniform immediately unfurled, transforming into a large cloth wall in the wind, directly blocking the two people's view of each other.

Sword Saint Suko abruptly stopped, then quickly adjusted to retreat, her hands instantly changing their stance, and the Pingqingyan stance was withdrawn.

The next moment, she swung her sword and slashed swiftly, instantly creating several perfect angled strikes that sliced ​​the kendo uniform that Sousuke had thrown out into several pieces.

Didn't win!

The next instant, Sword Saint Suko suddenly looked up and saw a black shadow flying out from the sky behind his kendo uniform!

She instinctively jumped up and then slashed at the dark figure.

But he realized something was wrong the moment he drew his sword.

The shadowy figure wasn't Sousuke! It was a pair of kendo uniform pants!

Sword Saint Suzuko immediately sheathed her sword, but it was too late!

The instant she sheathed her sword, Sousuke, in his unleashed state, had already activated an SSR-level movement technique that surpassed even flames. He was completely naked except for a pair of underwear between his legs, yet he transformed into a blur and successfully broke through the swordsman Motoko's encirclement!

Sword Saint Motoko countered with her blade, but because the distance was too close, Sousuke directly extended his left hand to block it.

His left forearm was cut in half by the sharp blade, almost being severed completely.

However, Sosuke revealed a wild smile on his face.

Motoko, this time, I won!

His right hand slammed into the chest of the Sword Saint Suzi!

I'll trade my life for my hands!

......

Early in the morning, Sosuke got up and ran out of the dojo.

The girls who got up later only saw the note he had posted on the door of the dojo.

Yumi Mifune was initially the most excited person today, but after seeing her teacher leave early to run errands, she seemed a bit deflated.

This made him listless during his daily training and as a substitute teacher.

Seeing her listless appearance, the widow, who was particularly sensitive to others' feelings, sought out Yotsuba Saki and Itako, who were closest to her, to find out what was going on.

The little classmate and the kendo girl exchanged a helpless glance, then whispered something in the widow's ear.

Upon hearing this, Kuno Maruko covered her mouth in surprise, then thought for a moment, a smile appearing in her eyes.

"Don't worry." The widow glanced at the class monitor who was listlessly supervising the "outer sect female disciples" during their daily training not far away.

Then she said confidently, "Yumi's personality is a bit like a child's, and I'm best at dealing with children."

So, under the widow's guidance, everyone in the dojo, except for the unaware class monitor, happily accepted their tasks.

The classified mission, codenamed YMSRDZZ, began to be carried out quietly.

Yumi Mifune quickly noticed something was wrong. Everyone in the dojo seemed to have become quite busy, disappearing and returning in turn. Only she seemed to be particularly idle, only able to stay there as a substitute teacher instructing disciples.

Frustrated, her face fell even more.

They held it in until the last class of students left.

As the sun set at dusk, Yumi Mifune, unable to contain herself any longer, angrily confronted Saki Yotsuba and Motoko Itsuka, who were "resting" in her room.

Then, after seeing the "surprised" expressions on their faces, he realized...

Her big eyes reddened, and large, tiny pearls began to fall uncontrollably.

"Waaaaah—Saki, Motoko, why is nobody talking to me!"

"Ugh?"

Yotsuba Saki and Itako Motoko exchanged a glance, then hurriedly ran to the class monitor's side and grabbed her arm.

"Why is Yumi suddenly crying?" Yotsuba Saki asked, clinging to Mifune Yumi's arm, somewhat flustered.

Motoko Itsuka gently patted the class monitor's head and said softly, "Yumi, don't cry. Nobody is ignoring you."

"Waaaaah! No way~" Mifune Yumi was still shedding small pearls as she shook her head and said, "Master Atobe was nowhere to be seen early this morning, Master Yae took Sakura and Rin out to play without me, and after Kuno-nee went out for a while, she's been busy in the kitchen and doesn't seem to care about me!"

She sniffled, and like a little kid, burst into tears, sobbing, "And you two, my best friends, didn't even know it was my birthday today! I'm so sad! Aaaaaaahhhhhh!"

。 °(°`?'°)°.

She cried for a long time, and when she realized that her two best friends were not saying anything, she felt strange, so she secretly opened her hands, which were covering her eyes, a crack.

As a result, I saw two beautifully packaged gift boxes handed to me.

"well???"

She unconsciously lowered her hands and stared blankly at her two companions who were looking on with amusement.

"You...you knew it was my birthday?"

Motoko patted her little head and smiled indulgently: "How could we forget the birthday of our most lovable Yumi?"

"Huh???" Yumi stared blankly at Motoko.

On the other side, Yotsuba Saki took Yumi's hand: "I... Saki and... (Emi)... really like Yumi, you're our best friend..."

"Huh???" Yumi turned her head and stared blankly at Yotsuba Saki.

"Quickly accept the gift we've prepared for you!"

Yotsuba Saki and Itako Motoko smiled at Yumi together.

The class monitor racked his brains for a while before finally realizing what was going on.

It turns out everyone knew it was her birthday today, and they were deliberately preparing a surprise for her!

So, having just stopped crying, she started crying even harder now.

However, it was a smile while crying.

Just as she was laughing and crying, Yae Meixuan's arrogant voice came from the courtyard downstairs.

"Yumi! Where is Yumi!?"

"Yumi, I went out and searched everywhere to find you a birthday present. Come down and claim your reward! If you don't come out soon, I'm going to return it!"

Yumi Mifune quickly wiped her face, removing her snot and tears, and a silly grin appeared on her face.

Then she screamed and ran downstairs.

"Here it comes! No returns allowed~ Master Yae, I love you~"

When she got downstairs, the class monitor hadn't even had a chance to thank the Yae Mei-xuan and Sakura Rin sisters for the large dolls they had given her.

He was patted on the shoulder again, and when he turned around, he saw Kuno Maruko with a smile on her face.

The widow presented her with a beautifully wrapped little gift box: "Yumi, you're 18 now, a grown-up! Happy birthday, and may you become more and more beautiful!"

"By the way, I've been in the kitchen the whole time. I made all of Yumi's favorite dishes today, so you should eat a lot tonight."

The class monitor, who was carrying bags and packages of gifts, could barely hold onto them.

She happily and loudly replied to the widow, "Okay, okay! I love Kuno-nee's cooking the most, I'll eat it all!"

The class monitor was almost ecstatic. Surrounded by everyone, he quickly pulled her to sit down at the dining table.

Then, one dish after another of Yumi's favorite dishes were placed on the table.

Our class monitor was drooling, wishing he could start eating right away.

Before dinner, Yumi Mifune's family made a video call to send her their blessings remotely.

He then reminded her to remember to celebrate her birthday at the dojo and then go home to celebrate again.

The series of surprises and blessings made Yumi Mifune feel like she had arrived in heaven.

However, she soon became somewhat listless again.

Halfway through the meal, her little face turned sullen again.

The girls looked at each other in bewilderment when they saw her.

However, he immediately realized the reason for the class monitor's frustration—Atobe Sousuke had disappeared on such a crucial day.

The group exchanged glances, unable to find a way to comfort Yumi.

"Is anyone here? Is anyone at the White Night Dojo? There's a cake you ordered here~"

The voice of a deliveryman could be heard from outside the door.

This voice was like a savior, waking up the anxious classmates. They quickly tried to liven up the atmosphere and distract the class monitor.

"Yes, Yumi, we also ordered a cake, your favorite animal cream cake, it's so delicious!"

Kuno Maruko nudged Yumi.

"I'll go get it for you." With that, she quickly ran out.

Yumi Mifune looked up and saw everyone looking at her with concern. She immediately realized that she shouldn't be so downcast.

So she cheered herself up and forced a smile, saying, "It's okay, I'm still very happy. It's just that the teachers' college isn't here, so it feels a little strange."

Just then, Kuno Maruko, who was in the outer courtyard of the dojo, exclaimed in surprise.

Just as everyone was about to see what had happened, they saw Kuno Maruko open the dojo door with a big smile and walk in with someone carrying a cake.

As she opened the door, she called out with a grin, "Yumi, come and see who this is!?"

Yumi Mifune looked up and immediately screamed, "Little Rou Iron Man!"

Indeed, following behind Kuno Maruko was a tall man wearing a judo uniform and a robot helmet.

Several girls looked at Kuno Maruko with a puzzled expression and gave her a thumbs up.

Sister Kuno, you're so thoughtful to think of using Little Rou Iron Man to deliver the cake.

Kuno Maruko returned their smiles with a mysterious expression.

The girls who were watching the commotion were completely dumbfounded.

Yumi Mifune rushed forward, took the cake from Xiaorou Iron King Kong's hands, and happily thanked her, "Xiaorou Iron King Kong, thank you for coming to celebrate my birthday!"

As a result, Xiao Rou Iron Man opened his mask and said with a grin, "That's right, I am Xiao Rou Iron Man himself!"

Beneath the mask was clearly the face of Atobe Sousuke.

The class monitor froze, and the cake in his hand fell to the ground with a thud.

"Hey hey hey hey! What are you doing! It's expensive!"

Atobe Sousuke screamed, and the next second, Mifune Yumi, who was wailing, threw herself into his arms.

Thus, amidst laughter and joy, the Byakuya Dojo held its first birthday banquet specifically for Atobe Sousuke's disciple.

In the future, I will also hold happy birthday banquets for all my other disciples.
