I teach judo in Tokyo.

He couldn't help but look at the beautiful woman in front of him, who was bowing her head and nervously fidgeting with her hands.

Ms. Kuno, are you up to something, or are you just really oblivious?

Don't you know the proverb, "like a moth drawn to a flame"?

Zongjie readily agreed with righteous indignation.

Chapter 30 Level Up

After agreeing to Ms. Kuno's request to enter the room, Sosuke went upstairs and brought Aoi down.

The three of them finished their dinner chatting and laughing.

Then, as is customary, Kuno ran upstairs after finishing her housework to spend quality time with her daughter.

Although life was tough after arriving in Tokyo, this gentle and strong widow never burdened her daughter with stress.

Instead, they did their best to provide her with the best environment and care.

For example, no matter how busy she is, she insists on playing with her daughter for a while every night.

Sosuke then went to the dojo courtyard and began his daily training.

First, it's the usual Bald-Headed Cape Man training method, to unleash all the dormant power within the body.

This time, he completed his workout much faster, finishing before Miss Kuno even came downstairs.

With nothing else to do, he simply took off his shirt and went to the outer corridor of his dojo.

In Japan, detached houses often have a walkway around the edge of the main building, which they call "en-saka".

Sosuke sat cross-legged on the edge of the garden, with his other leg dangling down from the edge, enjoying the cool night breeze and the view of the garden.

The cherry blossom trees swayed gently in the cool breeze. The pond in the corner of the yard, which had dried up, had been cleaned and had its water flow restored by Ms. Kuno.

Water flows from a pipe disguised as bamboo, slowly filling a bamboo-tube-like object before being poured out all at once.

The bamboo tube struck the stone slab below, making a crisp "thump" sound, and then slowly returned to its original position to collect water again.

In Japan, this Zen-like device is said to be called "Surprised Deer".

When Sosuke arrived here, the entire dojo was in chaos, and the pond had dried up.

Clearly, the original owner was too poor to pay the utility bills, so he stopped all unnecessary consumption.

Now that Ms. Kuno has tidied it up, the entire dojo has been completely transformed, and the environment has immediately become serene and pleasant.

For Sosuke now, a small expense is within his means.

After all, now, not to mention the basic tuition fees he collects from the beautiful woman and his little classmate every month, with the system's subsidies, he can reach nearly 700,000 yen (about 30,000 to 40,000 yuan).

In addition, the daily teaching tasks for the two disciples can reward you with 70,000 to 80,000 coins each day, with the added bonus.

All in all, he can earn nearly three million yen a month (about 150,000 yuan).

Even in Japan, this would be considered an income for the middle to upper class.

But this did not satisfy Sosuke.

He pulled out the asset appraisal documents of his family's dojo from the room, which clearly showed an astonishing figure.

The assessed value of the fixed assets is 2 billion yen!

In other words, if taxes are paid at the standard rate of 1.4%, he would need to pay 28 million yen in taxes for this dojo every year!

The reason the family was so poor was that it was gradually emptied out by the exorbitant taxes paid every year.

He earns three million yen a month, which is only a little over thirty million yen a year. After paying the fixed asset tax, there's not much left.

We need to accept more students!

Currently, his only students are Ms. Kuno and Ms. Yotsuba. His potential target, Ms. Mifune Yumi, is unable to become his apprentice in the short term due to her family background in judo and her pride.

Perhaps it's time to thoroughly inspect Hefeng High School and see if there are any remaining culprits...

I spent some time sorting out the current situation and the plans for the future.

Sosuke put aside his thoughts and began to enjoy the scenery with a relaxed and contented attitude.

A cool breeze, cherry trees, the sound of a deer being startled, and the gurgling of flowing water—the entire temple exudes a mysterious Zen-like atmosphere under the night sky.

For some reason, Sosuke naturally recalled the scene earlier that day when he single-handedly stormed into the Yanjian Group's small gathering place, knocked down nearly twenty henchmen, and then took down their leader, Nishida Shoji.

In a daze, he felt as if he were actually there, and began to review the experience and gains and losses of this fierce battle in his mind.

If I had thrown that punch like this...

If I had changed my strategy in time during that attack...

As his thoughts flowed, his eyes drooped, half-open and half-closed, as if he had entered some kind of clear and tranquil state.

[Current Status: Daily Self-Reflection]

About ten minutes later, Kuno Maruko, having spent time with her daughter, changed into her judo uniform and came downstairs to the dojo.

The first sight of the scene stirred her heart.

Under the moonlight, the wooden gate of the dojo was open, and in the courtyard outside, the cherry blossom branches swayed gently in the wind, while in the distance, the colorful downtown streets stretched out.

A muscular man sat shirtless on the edge of the room, offering her only a lonely silhouette.

The truly great hermit lives in the city, while the lesser hermit lives in the hills and valleys.

It seems to appear and disappear, neither busy nor idle.

Kuno Maruko dared not make a sound, but obediently knelt on the tatami mat in the dojo, trying her best to keep quiet so as not to affect the mysterious state of the boy in front of her.

Her beautiful eyes were fixed intently on the young man who seemed to be contemplating the universe, and she couldn't help but feel admiration for him.

It's truly a breathtaking sight.

After a long while, Sosuke suddenly opened his eyes and subconsciously opened his control panel to look at it.

[Dojo Master: Atobe Sousuke]

Age: 18

[Permissions: Level 0 (Upgraded after the first disciple masters the Body Protection Technique)]

[Disciples: Kuno Maruko (SR), Yotsuba Saki (SSR)]

[Possesses self-defense technique 1: Judo - Throwing techniques 9, parrying techniques 9, ground techniques 18]

[Additional Skills: Cat Willow (SR), Midnight (SSR)]

The levels of both throwing and parrying techniques have been raised from 8 to 9!

Real combat is indeed the best source of nourishment for improving fighting skills.

Sousuke smiled with satisfaction, stood up from the side, turned around and went back to the dojo, where he saw the beautiful woman watching him intently.

"Kuno-nee, you're already down?" Sousuke was slightly taken aback. "How long have I been sitting here?"

The beautiful woman quickly shook her head: "Not long, then, Sosuke-kun, shall we begin our practice?"

“Okay, you do a few sets of warm-up and recovery exercises by yourself first. I’m going to change my clothes.” Sosuke nodded.

......

A moment later, Sosuke and the beautiful woman stood together in the center of the dojo.

After a lot of training, Kuno Maruko was covered in sweat, her hair was messy, and she looked a bit disheveled.

Yet it possesses a unique and special beauty.

"Kuno-nee, a couple of days ago we learned about footwork in tsustenance and throwing techniques. Today, I'll teach you the iconic throwing technique of judo—the back throw, also known as the over-the-shoulder throw."

Sosuke stood with his hands on his hips, smiling as he lectured Kuno Maruko, his eyes always unconsciously drifting towards the beautiful woman's graceful figure.

There was no way around it; this body was just too unfair, and his eyes wouldn't listen to him.

"Over-the-shoulder throw?" Kuno Maruko's eyes lit up when she heard this. She was excited, feeling that she could finally learn a cool judo throw technique.

Chapter 31 Self-defense Technique? A Thug's Excitement Technique!

"Over-the-shoulder throws are divided into two-handed over-the-shoulder throws and one-handed over-the-shoulder throws."

In the dojo, Sousuke was speaking and gestured for the beautiful woman to come forward. Then he reached out and grabbed her right sleeve and collar.

"I'll demonstrate it once first. Pay attention to the sensations, and also pay attention to the body's response."

Kuno Maruko nodded, looking somewhat nervous, and unconsciously gripped Sosuke's sleeves with both hands.

"Watch out, I'm coming!"

Sosuke gave a soft shout, then suddenly spun around and pounced into the beautiful woman's arms. As he turned to the left, his right elbow thrust upwards.

This action made him feel as if his right upper arm was being squeezed by a giant water ball, causing him to pause in his breathing.

However, Sosuke's movements remained unchanged; he stepped forward, bent his knees, and used his buttocks to press against his opponent's thigh.

With several points of force acting simultaneously, Kuno Maruko was thrown out in an instant.

When it comes to teaching people, the master of the self-defense technique is absolutely professional!

"Ah!" the beautiful woman cried out in surprise, and then fell to the ground on the tatami with a thud.

Fortunately, the beautiful woman was very talented and had practiced the backbend a lot these past two days. With full mental preparation, she successfully performed the backbend.

Aside from being stunned by the fall, he was not injured.

"That's an over-the-shoulder throw." Sousuke smiled at the beautiful woman who was still lying on the tatami in a daze. "Kuno-nee, have you grasped any of the techniques?"

Kuno Maruko silently recalled for a moment, then nodded slightly: "I think I've grasped some techniques, but I still need further guidance from the instructor."

The system rating is indeed accurate; even a disciple with rare SR aptitude can gain some understanding just from being thrown around.

So, if we use SR to represent "genius", then someone like my deskmate, who is SSR, would probably be the legendary "super genius", right?

Sosuke helped the beautiful woman up from the tatami mat. Her soft, supple arms reminded him of the pleasure he had felt the night before.

Kuno Maruko's face turned slightly red, as if she had thought of something.

Current status: xing......

Sousuke quickly shut down the system notification, straightened his expression, and once again struck a pose with Kuno Maruko: "Kuno-nee, I will be demonstrating in slow motion from now on. It might be a bit abrupt, so I hope you won't mind."

Kuno Maruko immediately recalled the boy's actions from earlier and lowered her head shyly: "I understand... Teacher, come on."

Don't say things that could be misunderstood!

He coughed lightly and began to demonstrate the over-the-shoulder throw he had just used to the beautiful woman.

I grabbed it, got close, spun around, and then my back slammed against it, instantly feeling as if I had been pressed against a layer of uneven water cushion.

The two were stuck at this point.

"Sou...Sousuke-kun..." the beautiful woman whispered, her voice soft and alluring, right next to Sosuke's ear.

Sousuke felt himself sealed by the beautiful woman's soft body, making it difficult to transition to the next stage of the action...

Ms. Kuno isn't very heavy, so why can't she fall in slow motion?

It must be because they wiped out a small gathering of Yan Jian's group today, and they're too tired to fight anymore!

Just let me rest...

A few seconds later, Sousuke, having mustered his strength again, successfully threw Kuno Maruko over the ground.

He let out a long sigh, and tears streamed down his face.

Will I die at the hands of a woman someday?

Immediately afterwards, Sosuke realized that he had breathed a sigh of relief too soon.

Because—next, he'll be the target for the beautiful woman to throw...

As is well known, the over-the-shoulder throw, also known as the back throw, is characterized by "lifting" a person up before "throwing" them.

When Ms. Kuno carried him on her back, he knew things were getting serious.

Who can stand this!

This isn't a self-defense technique, it's a bully's excitement technique!
